30. Chapter 30

As the day's passed, it was now the month of December. Today was the 6th, the twins, Alisha and Naomi's birthday. They would be going to a spa treatment later with Oichi.

At the castle, Oichi was sitting in her throne room with Paxton and Rinko by her side. She was wearing a gorgeous navy blue and lace dress with blue high heels and her crown. She was looking down at Terry, Terrance, Rue, Vernon, and Anna who were all bowing in front of her. After extracting the magic from their bodies and removing all traces of Valeriea's magic, their souls were placed in Marik's magic item. Once Mikey had set up their new bodies, their souls were released and placed back in the body's thanks from help from Marik.

With a new lease on life, today, the dragon family were swearing their loyalty to her. Vernon was knelling in front of the family. "State your name." Oichi says. "I am Vernon Von Malthon, former leader of the dragon clan." Anna bows her head. "I am Anastasia LeVolten Malthon, Queen of the white dragon clan, other than my great grandchildren, we are the only pure white dragons left." Rue bows his head. "I am Rue Malthon older son to Vernon and Anastasia." Terrance bows his head. "I am Terrance Malthon Yamamoto, younger son to Vernon and Anastasia." Terry smiles and bows his head. "I am Terry Theo Yamamoto, son of Terrance." Oichi head to hold back giggling hearing Terry's middle name.

"Malthon dragon family…do you hear by from this day swear your loyalty to me and swear to protect my me and my family until the end of days?" They nod. "Yes, Queen Oichi." Oichi smiled. "Then I hear by grant you the titles of the Yamamoto and Ruska, guardian protectors from this day on." "Thank you for this honor, Lady Oichi." Vernon says. "It is thanks to you that we have a fresh start in a new life. The Malthon family will be forever in your debt." Oichi smiles. "I was glad I could help." She then sighs softly. "At times like this I wish I could make you, my familiars."

Anna looked up with a smile. "Maybe I can help you? If I so may?" "Hmm? What do you have in mind?" Oichi asked. "You are a unique wolf, Lady Oichi. While you do not have magic, you have the rare ability to see and shape your own life energy. You can use that to make a crest for us and that will connect us to you. It is not a familiar bond though so we will not be able to recognize if you are in trouble and if we are hurt it does not affect you, but I think it would be a good sigh of our connection to you."

Oichi blinks. 'Can I do that?' 'With a little help you could.' Deerward says chiming in. 'The crest she speaks of is believe to be blessings bestowed on by Gods or Goddess. Back in the days, these crests granted special powers to certain individuals. It ranged from giving someone a boost in magic down to giving someone only enhanced strength. Normally in those times crest were pasted down by bloodlines but humans as they did…got greedy…in short, those who could use crest or inherit them died out and the secrets of crest were lost in time.' Oichi hums out. 'I see…'

'If you intend to become a crest holder, be wary that it would not physically obvious as it leave no mark on you. As you are a wolf it is not like much will change for you but as Anna says it will be a good way for your family to be connect to them.' 'Okay…so how would I go about getting one?' She asked. 'By asking the man who married you and Orochi.' Oichi gasps making them look at her. "The Jade Emperor!?" They blinked at her. She smiled at Anna. "I like your idea Anna but it seems I would need a lot more power to make that happen." Anna bows with a frown. "I see…I am sorry I could not be of much help." "No, No…I fully agree with your idea and I think having a crest with my bloodline tied to it will make things easier on the future. However, I must speak to the Jade Emperor about it. I would like for you all to take me to China." They blinked.

Terry pointed to himself. "Even me?" Oichi giggled. "Yes, even you. You were so keen on joining this you have to fulfill it now." Terry smiles. "Alright. Though I have to let River know so she wont worry." "Of course. Meet me outside in the courtyard when you are back. You are dismissed." Terry nods and gets up, running out the door. Oichi stands up. "I am quite excited to be honest. I get to have guardian protectors of dragons. I hope that you and Anna will bless the family with more children to refurbish your clan." Anna blushed. 'Oh…she's very bold…' Vernon stood up. "If I could have another child with Anna I would be very happy indeed." It made Anna blush even more. 'Oh my! I forgot how bold he was as well!' She felt her heart skipping beat after beat. 'Their boldness may be too much for me to handle…'

Down at school, the school's pool was open. The beaches where closed recent shark's as it was mating season for sharks until the end of the December. Even though the pool was open students still have to wear the schools' swimsuits even on none schools days as it was school's rules. The gang decided to meet up, Aerith and Jayden jumped off the diving board. Ebony relaxing on the whirlpool with Bella. Steven and the other boys were jumping off the edge and even wrestling off the edge. Azaya was there surprisingly but Ross was there with Hannibal and Kalena who was in a cute little swimsuit. Kaci however was at his job; he was helping his mother at her café. Kalena was standing there looking at the water. Azaya on the edge smiled at her "Come on little siss, oh dad you wanna put her floats on?" Hannibal with his on ran to the pool and jumped off the edge screaming aiming right for Ayden, Kaleb and Marcellus.

"Why is he coming to us…" Kaleb says swimming away. "It's on you Marc." Ayden says chuckling. Marcellus sighs as he caught Hannibal, making a slight splash. "Seriously…you need to aim somewhere else." He says shaking his head. Kalena frowned at this and ran back to Ross. "No." she says simply. Ross chuckled picking her up. "I guess we will try again another day." Azaya smiled "aww what if Daddy comes in with you?" Kalena pouts slightly and looked up at Ross. "Don't worry, if you don't like it we can get out okay?" He says with a smile.

Hannibal in Marcellus arms pouted "Let go uncle!" Marcellus chuckles letting him go has he was floating there and started paddle around. Bella in the whirlpool "Kalena you wanna come in here? It's really relaxing" Kalena blinked stepping over, she looked down at the bubbling water. Azaya stepped over setting down putting her feet "Go on try" Kalena blinked poking her foot in the water and it was hot and felt nice on her little toes. Ross walked over sitting on the edge, Azaya chuckles "does it feel nice?"

She moved her foot. "More…" She went to Ross and held his leg. "Make more hot…" She says softly. Ross rubs his head. "I cant do that princess. This isn't like the lava bath under the house. It will hurt everyone else." "Mmm…" She looked at Azaya and the others. "Out." She demanded softly. "Daddy make hot…" She says pointing. Ross couldn't help but laugh. "You can't kick them out of there either. Your soft demanding tone is adorable though." Kalena pouts softly. "Don't like…" Ross picked her up. "I've spoiled you to much by letting you get in the bath with me. We will watch from over here." Ross says chuckling.

Bella chuckles "Well I guess I'm done, my hips are alright now" Ebony and Azaya blinked at he and smirked making Bella flushed and get out, walking to the edge where steven was she smirked and jumped at him "Rawer!" He chuckled catching her.

Azaya chuckles getting in "Well I can take the heat" she says "Come on Kalena" she opens her arms. Kalena huffs. "Want daddy…" "Don't be like that princess. Play with your sister a little." He handed her to Azaya. "I'll be right here, okay?" Kalena hums out before nodding slightly. Azaya smiled holding her, Ebony looks at them "Uhm I can take the heat too" Azaya giggles "alright, let's heat this up shall we?" Azaya says heating her body up making the water hotter than before. "More…make lala." Kalena says.

"Oh no sweetie, we can't have lava here or it will melt through. Maybe one day when your older I can take you to my special volcano I go too" Kalena huffs out with a frown.

In the courtyard, Oichi and the dragons were waiting for Terry get back. Oichi was still in her royal attire. Rue walked up to her. "Which one of us will be carrying you?" He asked. "Oh? I normally ride on Terrance…but would you mind if you carry me?" Terrance frowned. "Lady Oichi, he isn't fit to carry you…" Rue chuckled. "Jealous little brother? Don't worry, I'll be careful." Oichi chuckled at them. Soon Terry came back in a huff. "Alright, River is good." Anna smiles. "That's so sweet of you to cheek in with her." Terry smiles rubbing his head. Rue turned into his dragon form. Oichi hums out. 'Wow…he is a magnificent black dragon up close…I guess Terrance sister would have been the only one who is white…' He put his wing down. She smiled and climbed on. He lifted it and she slide down his wings with a giggle. It took her a moment, but she made it the top of his head. "Okay!" She says with a huff. "Let's head to China!" Rue flaps his wings and starts to fly off. Terrance and the rest, stayed in their human forms but grew their wings and followed them.

At the magical council, Jess wearing a stunning Green British Style Blazer and pants suit with black collar shirt and black heels. She was in the globe room looking over some recent Riots, rebellions, small wars. Jess was frowning "how many are you counting?" "Over 5 each, so 15 in total" Victoria says. Jess frowns "have you been sending in some witch guards to stop them?"

Victoria nodded "We have stopped a good amount of it" Jess nodded "I see… anything else?" Victoria nodded "The build of the new town hall is underway" Jess smiled "That's good" "Alright we have detected something from under the earth… there's a pocket of red matter…" Jess bites her lip "its form his isn't it…?" Victoria nodded "Yes from Asturias" Jess sighs "Keep a close on that pocket in the earth" Jess says walking off. Looking at her phone she smiled 'almost forgot lunch with Chida'

At the castle, Takara was in her room putting down Umiko. Andrew was napping on the bed. A light shine into the room and Poseidon appeared with Triton. Umiko's eyes opened back up sensing him. Takara chuckled and turned to him. "She knows when you come. It's cute." Poseidon smiles as Takara hands him Umiko. "Hello my beautiful grandchild! Say cheese!" He snaps pictures of her. "I can't wait to show my brothers how cute you are." Triton looked at her belly. Thanks to her vampire side she was already slimming back down. "How are you feeling?" "I'm good. Thank you." She smiles at him making him blush. "Where is my brother?" "Taking his classes. He will be back soon before he heads back out." Triton frowned. "He should be with you…taking care of you and my niece." Poseidon sighs. "All will be fine. Calm down. Yaris is mapping out his own future as you should as well…by finding another who doesn't belong to someone else…" Triton frowned looking away from him. Takara blinks in confusion. "Did I say something wrong?" "No, dear of course not. Now come let us take a picture together!" Poseidon says with a bright smile.

At the new red dragon Chinese restaurant the branch in Xacron, a reflection of the oriental eccentricity of mid-century Hong Kong theme. the venue's large central area to create their own nostalgic version of Hong Kong's roads, complete with colorful neon signage, classic folding scissor gates, jade-patterned walls and hanging lanterns. The signs, along with the bespoke lamps on the tables and the black-painted ceiling create the idea of a night-time Asian street market.

Featuring bespoke furniture and light fittings inspired by Chinese popular iconography, each space conjures a different sensibility, from the decadent opulence of the "opium den", to the red lantern-filled room that channels the sensual romanticism. This mesmerizing, multifaceted scenography is ideally suited for Miss Wong's late night transformation into a speakeasy-style bar where patrons can enjoy an exciting line up of DJs along with a menu of bespoke cocktails.

At the Bar area Chida at there wearing a slim black blazer, white v neck short, black men's skinny jeans and black convers. He sighs softly, his mind wondered to Lucius. A smile came on his face, he did miss him. "Sorry I'm late" he was jumped out of his day dream to see Jess siting next to him. He smiled at her "So how was the council?" Jess sighs "there were a lot of reports on Riots, rebellions, small wars" Chida hummed "I see" Ling came over with a happy smile "Lady Jess! Welcome! Prince Chida welcome also, what can I get you?" Jess smiled "The pork fried Rice, beef shop suey and some teriyaki beef sticks" Rick chuckles "Same with me Ling" Ling chuckles writing it down "anything to drink?" Jess thinks for a moment and chuckles "Two Dragons" Ling chuckles writing it down "Alright I'll return with your drinks" she says walking away.

Jess looks at Chida "So how are you?" Chida flushes "Uhm good! Rick's been busy at his tattoo shop so I got nothing to do" Jess chuckles at him "Mhmm so who is this mysterious vampire you where seen with at the vampire bar?" she smirked at him. Chida's eyes widen and turned to her "How… did you.. know?" Jess chuckles "Rex told me you where busy in a vampire bar when I tired to call you" Chida frowns looking down at the bar table "I'm sorry…" Jess smiles "there's no reason to be sorry for so who is he?" Chida blushes with a smile "His name is Lucius…" Jess smirked "So is he handsome?" Chida nodded "Very… he's not noble by blood he said he's just a low class vampire that moved here from Ravenswood until its fixed again" Jess chuckles has Ling came back with their drinks then quickly left. Jess smiled taking a spill of hers "Ooo! Yeah that's strong but anyways if Rick finds out he's gonna off his rails" Chida frowns taking a sip if his "Yeah I know…"

At Charlotte's, her brother Dargrath and her mother Asmodeus were over for a visit. Asmodeus sighs as she sipped on some tea. "I swear, I don't know what I will do with you, my children. To put the girl through that was rather rude." Dargrath had a small cup of devil's whiskey with three large ice cubes. "It was for the best. Arnold was never a good match for her." Charlotte sips on her juice. "I'm more surprised that you went along with this…" Dargrath sighs. "Well, with lord Zi's new rules in place we cannot longer afford our family to make mistakes. Some demons don't agree but those who speaks out about it are either killed or…well…just killed. If our family is going to be involved with the royal family then we can at least give them our best. With that said…I plan to offer my assistance to Lady Oichi."

Charlotte and Asmodeus dropped their cups and it shattered on the floor. Dargrath sighs. "Is it really so surprising for me to say that?" He snaps his finger, and a little demon came out to clean up the mess that was made. "I mean…yes…you have always remained in hell and not cared about the up-top world…you stayed by mother's side and watched over all of our younger siblings. For you to say that you want to come here and be by Oichi is…a little mind blowing." Dargrath chuckled. "I guess but, if my brothers are sisters are trying to change then I figured so could I. Did you know that Begrozis finally went over to Clarks to see princess Kayla and her twins? I heard he became quite a attached to them and then big sister…" He reached over and rubbed her belly. "You finally found a mate and now have a baby on the way. You all are changing right in front of me…I'd like to experience that change as well. Maybe even find my own mate one day." Asmodeus was shocked by her son's words and then smiles. "I see…so our family is finally changing for the better. I suppose I will support you in any decision you make. Just be careful and try not to kill anyone okay?"

The front door opened and Markth walked in, closing the door he locked it. Markth stopped and sighs, walking in the apartment. Stopping in the living room, he smiles at Dargrath and Asmodeus "Well, Well this a lovely surprise. Hello, Lady A smodeus, its lovely to see you again" "Likewise I suppose." Asmodeus says as the little demon handed her another cup of fresh tea, to which she declined. "I suppose our little visit is over for now. Rest well Char." Dargrath says. They got up. Charlotte looked down and sighs. "Mother…" "Yes dear?" "…I…would like for you to be there at the birth of your grandson…" "Oh sweetie, I have to be there. Someone has to keep your demon form from appearing and…" "No, I mean yes at that part…I want you to be there as a grandmother…"

Asmodeus stares at her. Charlotte frowned. "You said you wanted the family to change then I would like for you to start now…by loving your grandchildren…" Dargrath crossed his arms and looked at his mother. Asmodeus chuckled. "I never said I didn't love my grandchildren dear. I've allows allowed you children to do as you please. To live your life as you wanted so long as you stay loyal to our Lord. I've never once interfered in your life or decisions…" "I know, but I want you to be more active…I've never asked you for anything but…I would like it if you give it some thought…please." Asmodeus chuckled. "Of course, dear…I will see you soon." Markth looks at Asmodeus "you should also be there for little Iris, she is after you granddaughter too" he says sitting down next to Charlotte. once they left Markth gets up "you hungry babe?" Charlotte nodded "Very" Markth chuckles and headed for the kitchen make something for Charlotte.

An hour went by, Bella wearing curiouser and curiouser Alice in wonderland grey tank top, pastel blue skinny jeans and Alice in Wonderland High-Top Sneakers, wonderland themes sunglasses and wonderland shoulder purse bag over her right shoulder. Her and Steven where done swimming and where know walking around the market area. Stopping at a stall there where selling strawberry's Bella and Steven looked through them, she smiled at a patch she new was good "Steven how about these ones?" Steven looked and nodded "Sure" Bella giggled and paid for them. The seller putting it in a bag for her, Steven and Bella walked off to look at more "So what are we gonna have for dinner tonight?" Steven asked. Bella hummed "Mhmm how about what I learn in cooking class the other day! Herb Spiced Salmon" Steven chuckles "Mhmm sounds good, a home cook meal from my lovely girl" Bella blushed at him.

Steven then felt his phone vibrate in his back pocket. He sighs and pulls out his phone looking at it. "I hate to cut this short, but I have to go get my little brother from his karate class." He rubbed his head. "Do you want me to take you home?" Bella thought to herself and smiled. "No, I'll be fine. You go on to your brother and I'll see for dinner?" Steven smiles and kissed her cheek. "I'll see you tonight. I got something special for you." Bella giggled and waved as he ran off.

Once he was out of sight, she nods to herself giving herself a personal mission. 'Steven is always giving me something so nice and thoughtful. This time I'll surprise him with a gift!' She giggled to herself and walked through the market looking for something. She was so distracted that she failed to see two people shadowing her. "Is that her?" One whispered. "Yes, as soon as she is alone, we grab her. Ready the ransom." They both disappeared into the shadows.

Bella walked alone by herself until she found a small shop. She walked in to see that it was a store that sold various items. She walked in to see they were having a sell on Sloth items. Tapping her chin, she smiled remembering that one of Steven's favorite animals were Sloths. She giggled seeing him sleeping almost anywhere he could get comfortable, including her. She walked up to the side and grabbed a pillow that had a sloth on it. On top it said 'Follow your dreams.' She frowned slightly at that. Steven was still trying to get permission from Oichi to make the butterfly field a national treasure spot but, she was always to busy to see him. She hugged the pillow and then spotted a matching bag for it. She smiles brightly. "I hope he will love this."

Heading to the cashier she paid for the items and walked out the store with the bags. She started walking to look around a little more when something caught her eye. She stops and saw a slight image of Samuel walking into the alley. "Grandpa?" She walked after them. Peaking around the corner she could see his back. He was holding something in his hands. Bella walked into the alley. "Grandpa? What are you doing here?" The person turned around and smirked as their body started to change. She gasps but before she could do anything else, her mouth was covered, and something was injected into her neck. A hand grabbed her beads and coated it with a black liquid, blocking off her connection from Rex.

Bella tried to fight back but her body had already gone weak due to the strange drug in her system. She dropped her bags. Her vision became blurry as she begins to pass out. "…Steven…" She mumbles out before closing her eyes. She was then picked up and tossed over a man's shoulder. "Quickly, before someone finds out. Send the message and take the girl out of the city." The man nods and ran off taking Bella with him, stepping all over the strawberries she brought.

At the museum, it was closed for the day, Joseph was opening the wine section for it. He was in the room alone when he sense a presence behind him. Turning around to see a black smug like mark on the wall. Walking up to it, he touched it. It glowed and started to form into a fog like cloud. A pair of eyes was looking at him. "Son of the Grim reaper…" Joseph eyes narrowed. "I thought if I would have asked politely then things would have gone smoother but you are very stubborn so we had to take matters into our own hands." "Who are you and what do you want." Joseph says. "We have your daughter." Joseph eyes went wide. "Bella!" "If you want to see her unharmed you will come to this location. Alone. Deactivate your beads and tell no one where you went. If we see any help on your side well…just think about the safety of your daughter. We hope to see you soon."

The fog rushed out and hit Joseph in the face, he coughs out and then head his head as he saw the location of where he needed to go, like a mental map. He bit his lip. 'Bella…' He wanted to tell Dustin, but could he risk it. He shook his head. 'No…I risk her being harm…' He rubbed his belly closing his eyes. "Dustin…I'm sorry…Rex…turn off my beads." "Request denied." "Rex override code Tanaka0237." His beads beeps and turned off. Joseph sighs and runs off following the map that was implanted in his head. "Bella. Be safe. Please be safe!"

Chida and Jess walked out of the red dragon. Jess rubbed her tummy "that was good" Chida chuckles "Very, so what do you wanna do?" he asked her. Jess hummed softly "we have to pick of the boys soon from there daycare" Chida nodded "Yeah, then we can take them somewhere? Like the park?" Jess smiles "Sure! That sounds good, lets head to the day care and pick up the boys" they both headed for the day care. Around the corner, Luther stood there and smirking 'well I didn't expect to see Chida here with that witch' he chuckles mentally 'mhmm the park huh? I guess I'll head there before them'

In the skies, Oichi was enjoying the breeze. Rue was an extremely fast flyer even in his dragon form. Within the hour or so they were already in China, flying over the mountains where Sun Wukong lived. Rue flies down with the family behind him and dropped to the ground with a soft thud. He turned to his human self while Oichi was still on him. She panics a bit until she fell in his arms. "Careful Rue…" Vernon says. "I know…" Rue says putting her down. Oichi brushed herself off and took one step to the mountain. Wukong appeared in front of her and hugged her, surprising her. Within the faction of a second. Wukong let her go as Rue swung at him nearly scratching his chest. Vernon and Anna were right beside him on guard.

"Whoa! Hold on there." Wukong says chuckling. Oichi chuckled. "It's alright. I am fine. This is the Monkey king. He is an alley and Godfather of my son." Vernon blinks. "Your Wukong?" "Yup! That's me. Pleasure to meet you all but really. Attacking me because I hugged Oichi? Impressive guarding. Anyways, what can I do for you Oichi? Is it about the peach garden I promised to plant? Or the hot springs?" "No, I wanted to know if there was any way I can speak to the Jade Emperor?" "That old fart? Ehhhhh…..I guess." He pouted. "So you didn't come to see me?" "We can share a drink and a snack after I leave." Wukong chuckled happily. "Then let's go!" A cloud formed under them and started to take them to the mountain top.

Back in Xacron, Joseph was running through the forest using his wolf speed. He was far away from the city and closer to the mountain area. The map made him turn east until he saw a large opening in a rock platform. Running in without thinking he entered to see that the inside was made like an old abandon church. "Bella!" He yelled out. Walking around he walked up a set upstairs that had a dusty statue. There were two empty cauldrons on the side of it. "What is this place…" Suddenly black shadowy figures pops out all over, surrounding him. "Welcome Joseph."

Joseph frowned looking to see Balthus standing over the statue. "Where is my daughter?" Joseph says. Balthus chuckled and pointed up. Joseph looked to see Bella stringed up in black wires, hanging from the ceiling. Her arms were outstretched, and her legs were tied together. Her head hung down with her hair covering her face. "Bella!" Joseph yelled. "Don't worry, she isn't harmed. We just need something to get you down here. Since your…boy toy is a bit to bold we went for your sweet daughter instead and while the wolf Queen is away, today we will take action!" "What do you want! I told you that my father does not appear when I call for him!" "It doesn't matter. We know a way to summon him, and you and your daughter will be the key to do it." "You let her go! She has nothing to do with this!" Joseph was suddenly grabbed from behind. Balthus Jumped down and placed a hand on Joseph stomach. "Careful now…you wouldn't want to let anything happen to this baby, right? It would be a shame if a horrible accident happens, and you lose it." Joseph shook in anger and fear. "Don't touch me." He says glaring at him. Balthus chuckled. "Tie him up just like her. Today we claim the reapers powers as our own!"

After picking up the twins, Jess and Chida were at the park. They sat on the bench has the boys ran away playing. Jess smiled watching, Chida chuckles at the boys. " Chida?" Chida's eyes widen and looked to his left to see Lucius standing there "Lucius… what you doing here?" Lucius chuckles "I'm out for a walk in the park didn't expect to see you here" Chida flushed "well I'm here with my the boys and…" he turned to Jess who was blinking at Lucius.

Lucius blinked and gasped "Oh, it's a pleasure to meet you Queen Jess" Jess smiled at him "please its just Jess and nice to meet you too" 'wow he is very handsome I can see why Chida is getting all blushy' "Well you can join us if you want" Jess says to him, Chida's eyes widen with a flush "Wait what…?" Lucius frowned "You don't want me too?" Chida gasps "No it's not that it's just… Rick is gonna be here soon and I don't want him to hit you…." Jess sighs "please sit, don't worry Rick wont do anything" Lucius chuckles "Very well" he sat down next to Chida making Chida flush and froze 'oh my god… I hope Rick wont get upset'

In China, Oichi and the others were standing in front of the same tree she got married in front of. The dragons stood behind her and knelled. Wukong was beside Oichi. "Oi! You old farts up there! You got a visitor!" A light soon shines down, and the Jade Emperor appeared. "Lady Oichi! What a pleasant surprise." He walked up to her, pushing Wukong out the way. Oichi bows to him. "Greetings My lord." He smiled at her. "You look very beautiful today." Oichi stood straight. "Thank you. I wanted to come in a more appropriate attire when I came to speak with you." "I see. What can I do for you?" "I was told by Deerward that you knew about Crests?"

The Jade Emperor hums. "You wish for one?" "Yes, just a little bond between me and my newly appointed guardians? Can you help me?" The Jade Emperor hums and rubs his chin. He then smiles. "Alright. I don't see why not. A crest for your family, your clan, to past down and to create a bond with those who follow you. Hold out your arm." Oichi held it up and he grabbed her gently. "Hmmm…how about…a mandala lotus? It symbolizes life, beauty, and spirituality. Something you have." Wukong hums out. "No wolf? Like a fang or something?" "That is to boring you stupid monkey. She needs something more refined such as the lotus." Oichi smiled. "My dad loved those…can I have that?" He nods at her.

He rubs her arm gently as a portion of her arm glowed. "By my powers, I hear by grant you the Mandala Lotus crest as a symbol of your familyhood, your clans name, and for the bonds you share it with. Those who will follow you and swear loyalty will gain this bond as proof of trust." Oichi eyes widen as she watched a beautiful marking appear on her arm. It looked like a tattoo. It then disappeared. She turned behind her see the dragons arm lit up and the mark appeared on their arms and disappeared. "There it is done. It is not a familiar bond but it will not show up on one who does not trust you or lies about their loyalty. Remember that." Oichi nods. "Yes, I will. Thank you." He lets her arm go. "I'm sorry to trouble you, so I guess we should be getting back." "Before you do that…would you like to share a drink with me?" He held out his hand. Oichi chuckled. "I don't think I could refuse a request after you have granted me such a big favor." She took his hand.

Back at the park, Jess was by the boys playing with them. They where chasing her around. Chida chuckles at them 'cute' Lucius chuckles "She is something isn't she?" Chida blinked looking at him and nods "Yeah she is something" Lucius sits up "walk with me to the water fountain?" Chida blinked up at him and nodded. Getting up they walked together to the water fountain. Reaching it rather quickly, Lucius leaned down taking a drink, a long drink. Chida's blinked at him and blushed, Lucius glanced up at him while still drinking made Chida's eyes widen and turned away quickly. Lucius leans back up and chuckles, stepping to Chida who stepped back slightly but Lucius was right hover him. Leaning into his ear "I can tell the queen of witches doesn't care if you like me" Chida's eyes widen and his heart thumbed. Leaning back Lucius reached out touching his cheek smiled at him but then his hand was roughly grabbed and squeezed making Lucius eyes widen looked to see Rick. Chida's eyes widen "R-Rick..!" Rick was narrowing at Lucius "keep your hands off him"

Lucius raised an eyebrow 'hes trying to use royal sire on me, fool doesn't work on me but I'll play along' he got on his knees and bowed "Forgive me your majesty…" Rick growled "Leave know" Lucius nodded and rushed off. Rick turned to Chida who looked pissed "Why did you do that?! He's my friend!" Rick bites his lip and grabs chida "Your mine! Understand?!" Chida's eyes widen 'this is my brother….!' "RICK!" Rick turned to Jess and his body shook his fear, Jess standing there with her arms crossed and tapping her foot. The boys blinked and copied their mother "go home know" Jess says with a dark tone. Rick bites his lip and dashes off.

Back in Xacron, Steven was dropping his brother off at his sister Melissa's house. "That was such a pain. I should see if Bella made it home." He tried to call her but she didn't pick up. "Hmm…I should try her beads." He takes his beads. "Rex contact Bella." "Error…unable to contact…" Steven frowned and quickly started to worry. He opened a portal and walked through it.

Reaching the market section, he looked around. 'Bella…' He felt a stinging sensation in his chest. 'Bella where are you…' He started to walk around until he caught her scent faintly. He started to run around, finding the store she was at. Her scent got stronger. Looking around he notice they alley and a single strawberry. Rushing to it her scent stopped there. His eyes widen to see the bag of strawberries she brought and step on bag that had a sloth pillow and bag in it. "Bella…!" He bit his lip. He rubbed his head. "Willow!" His fire familiar appeared in front of him. "Yes master?" "I need you to search for Bella. Look everywhere, in the words, outside the zone, underground everywhere! You got it!" Willow nods. "What will you do master?" "I need to go to her parents house and let them know. Move fast Willow please!" Willow frowns and nods. "Yes, master! I will find the princess!" She flew up into the sky and split herself into multiple pieces and flew off. "Bella please be safe…Please…" He opened a portal to Dustin's and ran inside.

At Dustin's he was finishing up cleaning the living room. The boys where on the couch behaving and watching some toddler shows on the TV. Dustin sighs looking at the time, he frowned 'joe should be home by now' He sat down with a sigh, 'joe where are you ?' A portal opened up and Steven came rushing in. Dustin blinks at him. "Steven?" Steven pants. "B-Bella! She's missing! I found her stuff in the alley in the market! Her scent is gone and Rex can't track her!" Dustin's eyes widen at this "Rex! Contact Joe!" "I can not…he has request a shut down for his beads."

Dustin's eyes widen "what do you mean he shut off his beads?!" Dustin shouted. "He has overridden the access with his family code and shut his beads off. I cannot locate him nor tell you where he has gone. Only the last known location which was the museum." Rex says. Dustin looked at Steven "we have go to see my uncle… he can help us…" Steven nods. "Ok, I have my familiar looking everywhere, the moment the find anything on Bella, they will let me know."

In the secret underground, abandon church, Bella was finally coming to. She groans out and tries to move but whatever drug was in her system was weakening her. She blinks and looks down to see people moving around. "Bella…" Bella looks up and gaps to see Joseph across from her, handing up with his arms out and legs down. "Mom!" She tries to struggle but the wires were tightly wrapped around her. "Bella stop…your going to hurt yourself." Bella starts to tear. "Where are we? What's going on…" Joseph sighs. "This is a cult for your grandfather." "For…grandpa?" Bella asked. "Yes, there are of fools in the world who want his powers…they usually end up in failure but none of them got this close to us…" Bella looked down to see the men marking the ground with something.

"What do they want with us?" Bella asked. "I don't know honey…l just hope Dustin or someone find us…soon…" Bella sniffs. 'Steven…where are you' Balthus chuckled. "Even if someone did come and save you it would be much too late." He held up a reapers coin. "For what we have in store for you, you two should be honored to watch a new world power being born!"

Rex had told Dustin that Zach was at Dracula's castle sitting at a war meeting, so Dustin and Steven headed to speak with Zach and maybe the others. In the war meeting room, they were going over strategy for the next wave of attack. Even though Zach cannot join in on the war as it was Seth's to deal with. Dracula did not let him, but he was allowed in on meetings. Zach sat there listening to vampire lords complain about it all.

"This is pointless…" One of them says. "The Vermont family are in greater numbers now! We are wasting time and resources!" Vega frowned. "This is King Seth's family we are talking about! We should be going at this with full force!" "Lord Oberon has been helping track them down thanks to his personal missions. Without his info we would be lost on where to even go. If your families were being attacked, would you want help!?" Vega says glancing at Seth with a slight blush on his face. Seth was in deep thought not really listening to them. 'He is so sexy…just sitting there in deep thought…' Vega says to himself. "Even so!" One of the lords yelled snapping him out of his erotic thoughts of Seth. "How many forces much we sacrifice for one clan! It's not worth it!" Someone yelled.

Dracula banged his hand on the table "Silence and hold your tongues, I do not care for you pitiful words. That nameless trash has taken upon himself to disgrace Seth's family and here you sit saying you will not help your KING?!" he shouted has his eyes glowed. The frowned looking down.

Then the doors open and Dracula growled "I said not.." he blinked "Prince Dustin… Lord Steven, what are you here for?" he looked at Zach who stood up, Dustin and Steven ran over "UNCLE! Joe and Bella are missing!" Zach's eyes widen "What do you mean missing?" Dracula frowned at this "Princess Bella is missing and… Prince Joseph is missing…?" Dustin nodded panicky "he deactivated his beads!" Seth frowned. 'Oichi is gone to China…someone made a move…'

Vega sighed mentally 'really now?' Dustin's eyes widen "What if the Vermont family did this?!" vampire lord by the name Rupel sitting next to Seth "really now a missing princess and missing prince? Please the Vermont family are going after Oichi and the best way to do that is using Ruska's family by destroying Prince Sakamoto's body… I highly dought a hybrid princess and a wolf prince would be on the Vermont's hit list, it's utter nonsense" Zach's eyes widen and narrowed at him with a dark look but Seth grabbed the vampire's lord head fast and slammed it on the table making the other vampire's lords gasp at this.

"Let's make something things clear here…" He looked at Rupel. "You do not get to call Oichi by her name. It is Lady or Queen to you…" He glanced at the others. "If you haven't all forgotten, Joseph was adopted by the former wolf King's daughter, Danni and that makes him a royal family member and brother to Oichi. If the Vermont's are behind this then of course it would make sense to start going after her siblings. We have already seen how far they will go…I doubt they wouldn't hesitate to hurt Joseph who is pregnant and his daughter." Seth closes his eyes. "Oichi isn't here so this would be the best opportunity to strike. Other than Joseph, who refused the protection offered, all her other siblings are guarded safely. He would be a high-stake capture and the best bargain chip for Oichi. She would easily give herself up if it meant her brother and his children were safe…" Dustin sniffed "so what are we gonna do?" Zach rubbed his back "We will find them" he narrowed at Rupel "Disgraceful you are Lord Rupel"

He stood up with blank and empty eyes. "As for your pathetic words, I don't need you in this war. I do not need lords who refuses to abide by my aid while my family is being under attack. I didn't need you in my war with Ronnie and I didn't need you in any wars I was in after that. The Ruska family does not need help from disrespectful cowards." Vega shivered at his empty look. 'Oh my…how I missed that look of his…his war times faces were so deliciously flavorful.'

Seth closed his eyes and then sigh. "We should spread out and look for Joseph and Bella. If they are indeed captured by the Vermont's, then we can't waste time here." After that everyone had left the war room, Dustin was panicking and tearing. Zach rubbed his head "Calm down Dustin, we will find them" Dustin nodded sniff "Uncle please let me join in finding him… Bella and my unborn child" Zach looked at him and smiled then at Steven then back at Dustin "Alright but wait for word on where they are" Zach walked off leaving Dustin and Steven alone standing there. Zach walking through the halls he stopped to see Vega and Seth standing super close" he narrowed slightly and listened in.

Seth's back was towards Zach. Vega bows to Seth slightly and peaked to see Zach looking their way. He smirked slightly and looked back at Seth. "As always my King. I shall be by your side no matter the cost." Seth sighs softly. "I thank you for that." Vega lift his hand and moved a strain of hair out of Seth's face, ever so gently moving the back of his hand to graze his cheek. 'His skin is still so tender even as I slightly touch him…so smooth and elegant…' He glances to Zach with a smirk. Zach's eyes widen in anger 'how dare he touch… him…'

"Is there anything else I can do for you, my Lord?" Vega asked Seth. He placed a hand on Seth's shoulder. "You know I will do all that I can for you. I owe you so much." Seth nods. "What news do you bring from the task I asked you to complete." "Oh…I dare not say while we are here. Do you mind if I whisper it to you?" Seth sighs a little annoyed. "Very well…make it quick…" Vega got closer to him and while looking at Zach, he got close to Seth's ear. As he whispered something Zach could see that Vega's lips were so close that it looked like he even nibbled slightly on the very edge of his ear lobe. Zach's eyes widen darkly narrowed at this gripping his fists.

When Vega was done, he backed off. "And that is all my Lord." "I see…so a dead even…do you mind going to check the family vault, then the grave sites just to make sure?" Vega bows "it shall be done my lord." Seth walked off, Zach was soon by Vega's side grabbing him by the shirt and slamming him into the wall vampiric hissing with his eyes glow red "He is mine, back off"

Vega frowned. "Apologizes King Zach…" He said in almost a flat tone. Zach lets him go "go do what king Seth told you to do and watch what your mouth says to me" Zach says walking off to find Seth. Vega chuckled brushing himself off. "You say he is yours but I'll make him mine before you can even get that chance." He laughs slightly to himself before leaving to tend to his duties.

Zach finding Seth outside in Dracula's Japanese koi pond. Walking around it he walks on the bridge to see Seth standing on the bridge looking down. Zach walks up to him and stands next to him, looking down he see's the black koi fish "Mhmm black Koi rare to find and breed"

"Mhmm…." Seth hums out. Zach looks at him and reached out touching his cheek Seth look at him. Zach softly smiles at him "Thank you for today Seth" "I don't need your thanks. They needed to be put in their place. That is all."

leaning forward and places a gently kiss on the forehead "will you join me when the scouts finding me niece and stepson in law?" "If it's to find more Vermont scum then yes. Plus, while Oichi is away I need to make sure her brother comes back unharmed."

Outside the city, One of Willows sparks were flying around when a hand caught it. She gasps and tried to free herself. "Calm down little familiar." She heard a voice say. The hand opened and she looked up to see Samuel. "Your…" "I need you to send a message to Dustin and the demon boy for me." "Okay…"

Steven had left Dracula's castle. He couldn't stand around and wait. His portal opened up over a building within the city. "Bella…I'll find you…I promise…" Just then Willow zips around her. "Master! I know where the princess is!" Steven nods. "Take me to her now!" "You have to go by feet. There is a strong barrier that is preventing any portals from appearing and its blocking out all Magic. It will be touch to break but with his help we can get through!" "He? Who's he?" "Come we must go!" Willow says flying off. "Wait! Willow make sure you send a message to Dustin as well!" "Already on it sir!" She called out.

At Jess's, Chida was marching right up the stairs upset. Rick frowned watching "Why is he upset?" Harley and Draco ran off to the playroom. Jess smacked the back of his head "Because you treated his friend rudely that's why you ass! Shesh, can he not have friends?!" Rick bites his lip "but that vampire had his hands all over him!" Jess sighed "Rick Meyers! You will shut up and sit down on the couch on time out!" Rick's eyes widen with a gasp "Me on Time out?!" Jess's eyes glowed "yes time out!" she said has her back made him sit down and was stuck there on the couch. Rick's eyes widen "Hey! I'm a grown man! I'm not a child" Jess sighed "well you need a time out on how the way you are acting, today you acted like an idiot!" she shouted walking off. Rick pouted crossed his arm leaning back on the couch.

Back in the garden, Zach had gotten slightly closer to Seth when Dustin ran out "UNCLE!" Zach frowns mental but moved away to see Dustin speeding over to him "Dustin what is it?" "Steven had left! But one of his familiars told him they know where Bella and Joe is!" Zach's eyes widen "Where?!" Dustin frowned " I was told there is a strong barrier that is preventing any portals from appearing and its blocking out all Magic…."

Willow landed on Dustin's head. "I can take you! But we must hurry! He said we won't make it before things get bad but we can still save the Prince and the Princess!" Seth frowned. "Who told you that?" Willow smiles floating up, ready to led them. "The grim reaper!" Seth looked a bit shocked. "The reaper…so then…this would be more about Samuel. It would make sense if only Joseph and Bella were taken…" Dustin bites his lip "please we must find them!" Zach nodded "alright, lets head out there know"

At the church, Joseph breaths out softly, as he and Bella watch cult members pour in. 'This scent…are most of these people wolfs…no…wolfs vampires…humans? Just how insane are these people?' Balthus stood at a alter. "Welcome my brothers and sisters! We have come here to day to finally, witness the rebirth of our awesome power! By using these two who are the son and granddaughter of the reaper, we will bring the reaper to us and force him to give us his power! Are you with me!" "YES!" They yelled. "Are you ready to bring down the wolf Queen!" 'YESS!" They yelled again. Bella shook. 'There going after auntie!?' Joseph bit his lip.

Balthus walked into the middle of the room and held up a black crystal. "Now…we will force open the veil of the spirts and force the reaper to come to us!" He held up the reaper coin and the crystal a pushed them together. The crystal started to shine as it molted over the coin. Bella and Joseph could feel dark magic pouring out. The coin, now completely black floated up into the air right in the middle of the air. "Stop! You don't know what your doing!" Joseph yells down at him. Balthus smirked.

Black lighting suddenly came out of the coin striking both Bella and Joseph, they both screamed out as the church started to shake. Deep inside they felt something snap. Their eyes turned jet black as their bodies let out a strong pulse. The pulse rings out multiple times almost like a beacon. Large amounts of an old ancient power leaked out of their bodies. Balthus laughs as random black lighting strikes lashed out, hitting other cult followers, killing them on impact. "Yes, I can feel it! The veil is opening! Now come Grim Reaper! Come and give us your power!"

A sudden pulse hit the world, the veil of souls has reopened from this, Jess at her house stopped and her eyes widen sensing this "No not possible… the veil is opening again… what in the world is going on?" Michael had rushed over to her "Jess the veil is opening" Jess turns to him "No shit I can feel it! we have to contact Oichi at once about this" then rex appeared "the magic council is on the line" Jess sighs has Victoria stood there with the globe glow bright red "JESS! The veil, something happening and it was forced open!" Jess frowned "where is coming from" "underground abandoned church near the mountains but its very faint because some kind of barrier… it keeps moving all over the place like its giving off a different signal that we can't locate" Jess nods "Rex contact Oichi and let her know what's happening, Michael, me and you lets head to mountains" Michael nodded "Alright"

In the church, Bella and Joseph were screaming out in pain. The force and pressure from forcibly opening the veil was hurting their bodies. Balthus laughed. "Even if your lives have to be sacrificed! Know that it will go to a greater cause. Now, come Reaper! If you truly love your makeshift family then you will come and save them won't you! Haha!"

Outside the path, Steven appeared. "This is it!" Willow says. Steven bit his lip and tried to go through the hidden door, but he was bounced back by the barrier. He growls and tries to push through it. "I won't let this stop me from reaching her!" Turning into his demon form he formed a dark red flaming ball and launched it at the barrier. He pushed the flames hotter and hotter. His feet were burning the ground around him. "That's not going to work." Steven stopped to see the Samuel standing near him sipping a cup of tea. "Who…are you?" Steven asked jumping back. "Mmm…Bella's grandfather and Joseph's father…My name is Samuel." He sips his tea and hums out. "I really wish Jackal will open his own tea shop."

"Your Bella's…then why aren't you helping?" He rushed to him and was about to grab him when Willow stopped him. "STOP MASTER!" She yelled. "Willow?" "That is the grim reaper! If you touch him without him allowing it you will lose your soul!" Steven's eyes widen and looked at Samuel. "You're the grim reaper!? Wait…but you said…" Things started to click. Samuel laughs. "Yes, I was quite surprised that they unlocked a side of my powers. It shouldn't have happened for another year or so when Arnold comes to try to take her." "What!?" Steven asked. Samuel smiles. "Ignore that. Yes, Joseph and Bella share powers that are related to mines, but I sealed them so that something wouldn't happen."

"Okay so what do we do!? How do I get past!?" Steven asked. "I can get you past, but I cannot touch that barrier." "Why?" Samuel simply smiled at him. "The barrier is very powerful, but you can get through. It is breaking but it is repairing itself at a high speed. If you hit it with a very strong attack, then I will freeze time just long enough for you to get through. Then you need to shatter the black coin to free Joseph and Bella. Please move quickly." "Okay!" Steven turns to the barrier and grows a large fire ball, stronger then any he had made before. 'Bella! I'm coming!' He threw the fire ball and it hit the barrier. In that instance time froze but not for him. He saw a small opening within the barrier. 'There!' Using his demon speed, he slipped through the crack right as time went forward. His fire ball dispersed. He turned around to see Samuel now sitting down on a black chair still drinking tea. He then heard Bella screaming. "Bella!" He ran inside.

Samuel chuckled watching him run in and then sighs. "My, so many people after little old me…to even go so far to force the veil to open." He sighs. "I'll have much cleaning up to do after this…" then he can hear voices not far. Zach frowns "I sense such dark magic here, we most all be careful" then hearing flapping wings, they look up to see Michael fly bast them then fly back landing down with Jess in his arms wearing her military outfit. Zach blinked "Jess what you are doing here?" Jess frowns "I should ask you the same thing, what happen?" Dustin sniffed "Joe and Bella where taken!" Jess frown "I see I think I know why the veil was forced open again" Zach blinked "The veil… is open again?" Jess nodded "We must head" she stopped and looked over to see Sam "Sam…?" Dustin's eyes widen "Sam! Please tell me Bella and Joe are here!?"

Samuel chuckled looking at Jess. "Always wearing a military uniform for such light occasions. It's quite cute sometimes." Dustin frowned at him. "A light occasion!? Joe and Bella were taken, and you are just sitting here!" He snaps. Zach grabbed his shoulder to calm him down. "Yes, well as you can see, that barrier there is quite powerful, if I were to touch it, well something bad will happen. It was made by our most favorite troublemaking witch. The more you hit the barrier with physical or magical attacks, the barrier will absorb it and repair itself. I just needed to wait for one of you to show up and it happened to be the demon boy Steven. It can only be broken from the inside. He should be reaching them right about now." Jess sighs softly "Then we must wait"

Inside the church, Steven had reached the room. His eyes were widen to see what was happening. "Bella!" Balthus frowned looking at him. "How did you get in here! You will not stop us! Attack him now!" The followers of the cult rushed Steven, but he paid no attention to them. He held his hands up as a circle of fire appeared above him. "Out of my way!" He yelled swinging his hands together and down, creating a powerful fire wave that pushed and burned the followers away from him.

He spotted the coin that was in the middle of the room. "That's what Samuel said to destroy?" He rushed to it blowing Balthus away with a wave of flames. He jumped up and grabbed the coin from the middle of the room. He closed it in his hands and pumped high heat into it, melting the crystal away, leaving the reaper coin. The barrier outside was broken and the wires on Bella and Joseph broke. "Willow! Catch him!" "Got it!" Willow says going to Joseph. Steven ran and caught Bella right before she hit the ground. "Bella!?" Her eyes were closed. He shook her a little, patting her face. "Bella! Come on wake up." She groans slightly before opening her eyes. "Steven?" Steven smiles brightly. "Bella…thank goodness your okay."

Outside, Samuel smirks. "Good boy…" He stands up. "You all can enter now, be sure to save Bella and Joe. I'm sure you don't need me to get involved for this part. Hurry now or Joe could be in grave danger." Jess nodded "Lets head inside know!" she said has they all headed inside.

Inside the church, Bella and Steven were helping Joseph up now. Bella hugged him. He smiled rubbing her head. He looked at Steven. "Thank you for saving us." Steven smiled. "Of course, I love Bella and I would do anything to make sure she and her family are safe." Bella blushed with a smile, letting go of Joseph. She ran into Steven's arms. Joseph smiles sightly. 'He is quite different from Arnold…that is good…'

"Such…insolence!" They turned to see Balthus and his followers. "Do not allow them to leave! Capture them!" He commanded. The followers ran at them. Steven stood in front of them and created a fire wall in front of them. "Go!" He yelled. Bella frowned but grabbed Joseph's hand. She led him to the opening until Joseph's eyes widen sensing a murderous intent. They heard a loud smack and Steven came flying in between them slamming into the wall. His head was bleeding and there was a cut on his chest.

Bella was then pushed away. She gasps, spinning around to see Balthus with a sword. He had tried to attack her from behind, but Joseph pushed her out the way and got stabbed through the shoulder. "No!" She cried out. She tried to summon her power and her familiar. Balthus chuckled and grabbed Joseph pulling him back to the alter, behind the followers. "Silly girl, the drug in your system will block those troubling powers. Now be a good girl and be captured once more. Grab her, I'll take this one with me." He chuckled dragging Joseph to the back. Steven stood up and held his bleeding chest as Bella backed to him. The followers started to close on them. Lightning soon struck them, Bella's and Steven's eyes widen has Jess and the other rushed in. Zach and Seth began to killing them. Michael was spearing some and Dustin rushed over to Bella and Steven "Where's Joe?!" Bella teared "They took him! There!" she pointed to where they took him. Dustin's eyes widen has something in him snapped has his eyes glowed gold. Zach slicing off a head turned to Dustin with widen eyes 'what is this power I'm sensing him Dustin?' he said has he was suddenly stabbed in the side making yelp in loudly. Seth's eyes widen has he see's Zach get stabbed. Bella blinked and noticed her father was gone "Dad..?"

Seth killed the follower that Stabbed Zach. "Seriously…do I have to keep an eye on you our something?" He says with a light sigh. He grabbed a follower that was coming up behind him and snapped his neck. Zach groaned punching one in the face hard sending him flying, Zach chuckled "I don't know do you?"

In the back room. Balthus snitched his teeth. "Great…even more interruptions…" Joseph was laying on the ground holding his shoulder. He let out a chuckle. "Looks like your plan has gone up in flames. What did you expect…you really think you can take down my sister? You're a fool." Balthus eye twitch and he grabbed Joseph turning him around. He held up his sword and stabbed Joseph in his leg making him scream out. "You think I just need you! No, I need any one of your children! Even…" He looked at his belly and smirked. "Even a dead unborn child will do." Joseph's eyes widen. "What!? No! Don't!" Balthus grabbed him by the neck and held his blade up. Towing over Joseph he started to push the sword into his belly. Joseph started to tear as fear ran through his body. "Stop! Don't!" Balthus chuckled as blood ran down Joseph's belly. "I'll kill you and this unborn child and use your corpses to make my ideals a reality. My master will be pleased to get fresh new body and two new souls!" Joseph closed his eyes and tears ran down his cheeks. 'Dustin…help us…please!' The door burst open making Balthus back away from Joseph as Dustin appeared in angelic light his eyes glowing and looked at Joseph with eyes then narrowing at Balthus "You… dare touch my husband!" his voice echoed with magic as golden circle appeared around him "DIE!" he shouted has golden swords came out of the circles shot right at Balthus.

Snitching his teeth Balthus blocked a few of them before getting his in the shoulder, his leg, and arm. He dodged the rest and jumped back. "Damn you…this won't be the last you hear from me. I'll be back and when you see me again I'll have your head!" A black portal opened behind him and he ran into it. It closed. Joseph breaths softly, holding his bleeding stomach. "Dustin…the baby…" He says tearing. Dustin rushes over to him, knelling down "JOE!" his eyes where widen in horror, he started to panic. "Don't panic please…" Joseph says panting. "Get help…hurry…hurry…" Dustin bites his lip picking up Joseph "I'll take you to your father, he's here"

Outside the church, Balthus appeared, walking out the portal. In front of him was a familiar Vampire Lord, covered in a black cloak, but he couldn't see his face. "The Vermont clan can use someone of your talents…you should come with me." Balthus frowned but nodded. "Very well. From what I hear anyways your clan is causing quite the stir." The Vampire Lord nods. "Follow me. We shouldn't stay to long." Balthus followed him disappearing into the mountain path.

Dustin rushed past the others with Joseph in his arms to Sam, finding same quickly "SAM! You must help him!" Sam who was still sitting down looked at Joseph, shaking in Dustin's arms. Bella rushed out behind them with Steven, who's wounds had healed. She tears looking at Joseph. "Grandpa…please…"

Samuel smiles. "No need to worry, I've done all I can here, you should get him to a hospital quickly." He snapped his fingers and a black grim looking portal appeared. "This portal will slow down his injuries, His healing factor is being blocked by that nasty drug. Go through quickly." Dustin nodded and went through it, Bella ran up and hugged Sam "Thank you grandpa" He pats her head.

Bella backed up as Steven took her hand "Come on Bella" Bella nodded and went through the portal, the portal closed. Jess with Michael stepped out "Reaper you need to close the veil…" Jess says to him. Seth and Zach walked out, Zach winced. Seth frowned stopping him, lifting up Zach's shirt with Zach blushing. Seth sees his side was not healing, Seth frowned "you were stabbed by anti healing blade that took away your vampiric healing…" Zach sighs "great…."

"Everyday it seems like you just need a babysitter…" Seth says shaking his head. Samuel walks pass Jess and walks up to Seth and Zach. "The veil has been opened, some souls have gotten lose, it's my job to make sure they go back to where they belong. I hate it when people make my job much harder." He looked at Seth. "Until my job is done, I would advise you to be careful, as your past will come back to haunt you very soon." He smiled before walking by them and disappearing. Seth frowned and rubbed the back of his neck. He started to feel uneasy by the message left by the reaper. 'My past…'

A few days later, Oichi was sitting in the hospital with Joseph and their siblings, Mikey, Izzy and Florina. Izzy sighs. "Jeez, this is why you should have taken that protection plan." Izzy says pouting. Florina chuckled as she flushed Joseph pillow. "You almost gave mom a heart attack." Joseph sighs. "It wasn't that big of a deal." "It was. You don't need to act cool in front of us brother. Mom might have beat the hell out of Dustin for not taking care of you." Oichi says shaking her head. She rubbed his belly. "As long as you and the baby are okay, I'm happy. I was worried when I got the call from Rex." Mikey nods. "Can you tell us anything about when you were taken?"

Joseph sighs. "All I know is that they were after Oichi. They wanted to use dad's power to take over or something. Then when he dragged me away, he said something about how his master would be happy to get a fresh body and two new souls." Oichi narrowed her eyes. "Two new souls." She sighs. "Don't tell me that witch is behind this as well." Mikey rubbed his chin. "Well…she was being too quiet lately." Oichi sighs. "Great…" "I'm just glad your safe." Izzy says smiling. Oichi gets up. "I'll be back to check up on you. Get some rest and let Dustin baby you for a while okay? If you two need some alone time let me kidnap the twins. I haven't spent a lot of time with my nephews at all." She says pouting a bit. Joseph chuckled. "I'll let him know then." Oichi smiles nodding. "Come on Mikey we have work to do."

At Seth's manor, He was at his office with his eyes closed and head tossed back. Grayson was on his play mat napping while Terra was out with Thalia. For a few days now, Seth hasn't been getting enough sleep. His nightmares of when he was younger kept coming back. Since it was a peaceful day, his body gave up and he ended up sleeping in his office.

As he slept the door opened slowly with a creak. A faint figure walked in and headed for Grayson. A hand reached down and touched his cheek making him frown from the cold touch. He started to fuss in his sleep. Seth opens his eyes and sat up. His eyes widen and his skin went pale looking at the figure that was now standing up. The figure was a handsome man, with long red hair that matched his and yellow eyes. He was wearing a dashing black and white old uniform with fur on the shoulder pads and black cuffed gloves. He smirked darkly at Seth. "Hello dear Grandson…"

At the Meyer's manor, Zach walked through the halls with a sigh with a drink in his hand. His wound on his side finally healed, he was missing Seth.. he wanted knowing more to do is go and visit him. He knew Seth was married but he could not help, Zach wanted him. He felt in his heart and soul that Seth and him were meant to be. Sighing again he shook his head, reaching his office he opened the door and stepped in then froze with widen eyes, he dropped his drink has it hit the ground shattering. There sitting on one of the chairs was a figure of a fairly tall man, with a slim, yet toned build. His hair ombre's from a dark grey to a whitish silver at the tips and golden eyes.

He was wearing burgundy pants held up with an intricate belt, and a white dress shirt with the top unbuttoned a couple buttons, showing part of his chest. Over the shirt, he wears a matching blazer with a leather brown coat with a white outline. The man smirked "Hello my son"

Oichi was walking in the castle when a portal opened in front of her. Mikey frowned and stood in front of her to guard her. Dargrath walked out. Oichi smiled. "Dargrath! How nice to see you again!" He smiled and bowed at her. "Other then mother you are the only one who greats me with such kindness." Oichi giggled and walked up to him. "What can I do for you today?" "I wish to speak to you in private if that is, okay?" "Sure, thing just don't touch me. Orochi's, mark you know…" "I am aware. Demons cannot touch you so long as you are marked by him. Do not worry, I know how to behave unlike some." "Great! Let's head to my office. Mikey. I need you, Star, Zane, and Rex to get to work on figuring out what Valeriea is doing. Yain is awaiting orders." Mikey nods and glanced at Dargrath before walking off.

Oichi smiled. "Would you like some tea?" "Yes, please, I heard that Jackal makes some wonderful flavors." "He does! I wish he would just open his own shop but he is as stubborn as my grandpa." They chuckled, walking to her office.

Back at Seth's manor. He was standing up looking at the man in front of him. "Grandfather Sirius…" He says shaking slightly. Sirius chuckled. "Good. I still put fear into your heart. I've watched for so long how you slipped into darkness. Many times I thought you would die only for you slip through with life. How boring." He turned to Grayson. "Your new son? How disgusting…he was born with red hair as well." Seth frowned. "Why are you here?" Sirius turns back to him and walks up quickly to Seth, making him back up into his bookcase. He could see the hate in Sirius eyes. "I've come to do what I should have done the day you were born. You brought nothing but shame to my house, my name, my title. I've tried many times to kill you and nothing work. You are nothing but a disgrace, a rat that got lucky, a bastard that enjoyed his time being raped by men, how would your loyal subject see you when they heard about that?"

Seth bit his lip. "How dare you say I enjoyed that disgusting display…you paid those men to do that to me. Your own grandson. Why do you hate me so much when I did nothing to you." "Oh but you did…just you being born was enough for me to bore hatred and the first chance I get…" He grabbed Seth's neck.

Seth could feel the cold grip of his grandfather's touch. He looked deep into his eyes and was overcome with nothing but fear. Even as a spirit. All he could remember was the trauma he was put though. Sirius chuckled. "I will come back and when I do, I will kill you, I will take everything from you. Your family, your children, your life." Sirius eyes glowed as the room shook. "You will regret not dying when you were younger. I'll make your life a living hell. I promise you that bastard child." Seth started to breath heavy as he broke out into a sweat. He eyes rolled up to the back of his head hearing Sirius dark laugher. His body went limp as he passed out, falling to the ground. Sirius smirked and walked around, right as the bookcase fell on top of Seth. This startled Grayson and he started to cry. Sirius ignored the cries and walked out the door disappearing right as maids started to rush into the office.

Zach starting at his father "How are you…" then he sighed "The veil…" Hannibal chuckles "Yup, I didn't show up the first time it opened so many years ago but I'm here know" Zach sighs "So why are you here father…? You know mother is taken know and is in a happy relationship with Lord Ronnie" Hannibal raised his eyebrow "Lord Ronnie huh? Regina's wolf lover?" Chida's eyes widen "Regina's pet lover…? They weren't lovers…" Hannibal laughed "Oh they were but anyways" he gets up walking over a wall with Lotus carved wood wall art decor. "Come over here son" Zach frowns walking over "what is it?" Hannibal chuckles "Push the middle of the flower" Zach looked at him weirdly but reached out and touched the middle of the wooden lotus, his eyes widen has the middle pressed in has the wall unlocked and it moved to the side "A hidden room.. how come I was never told of this?" Hannibal chuckles at his son "a need-to-know bases son" he said walking inside, Zach followed.

Stepping foot in the room, he gasps at the closet circle like room that potions stacked on shelves. "a potion room…." Hannibal nodded "The one here, is the one I want you to take to the queen of witches before the reaper comes and collects me" Zach walks over looking at the potion he was pointing at making Zach's eyes widen. In the round large potion bottle was a glowing red feather "This… is a phoenix feather…" Hannibal nodded to him "A very rare magical item" Zach looks at his father "I'll call her here"

Oichi, in her office was wearing a surprised look. "Really? You want to serve under me!?" Dargrath nods. "With the times changing I thought I should find something else to do. I've always stayed in hell to look after our younger siblings. I'd like to explore another chapter in my life if that makes sense. "Oh it does, but do you think you could get that by serving me?" "Yes, because my talent for hunting and finding things are excellent." Oichi taps her finger on the desk. "That is true…it would be nice to have you under me. Mikey and Yain handle certain things so I can keep my hands clean but…" Dargrath stood up and got to his knee. "I am prepared to do what it takes to get into your good graces."

Oichi smiles. "I see…then what's your name?" "Lord Dargrath…I have no last name." "Really now. Can I give you one?" Dargrath looked at. "Sure." Oichi taps her chin. "Hmm…how about Ellison? Lord Dargrath Ellison.?" Dargrath smiled and nod. "Of course. I will wear my name with pride." Oichi links her fingers. "Okay then, Lord Dargrath Ellison. Do you swear to give me your upmost loyalty?" "Yes ma'am I do." "Then you will stand by my side as a loyal follower who will protect not only me but my family as well." "Yes Lady Oichi. From this day on, I swear loyalty to you." He saw his arm glow. Oichi smiles as her crest appeared. "What is this?" "I got a crest. It's a symbol to show proof that you mean what you said. Had it not shown up then I would know you are lying." Dargrath stood up. "I see. So this is a symbol of our bond in a way." "Yes, now…the first order of business, As you said you have an excellent talent of finding information. I want you to go to Switzerland and figure out what Valeriea is up to. I'm not asking you to spy on her directly because that would be suicide right now." Dargrath nods. "I understand. I will send you a demon messenger on all that I find." "Thank you." Dargrath smiles and opens a portal, leaving to do his first task.

Jess standing there with widen eyes wearing black cotton lace paneled bodysuit with black waist high shorts, black fade pantyhose, green studded jacket that was zipped closed and black thigh high converses. Zach rubbed back of his head "So yeah.. he wants you to make a potion to bring him back…" Jess looked at Hannibal who was sitting there with a smirk on his face. Jess raised her eyebrow "Why? Why do you wish to be back?" Hannibal dropped his smirk and sighed "I've been gone for to long and my sons need to me more than anything, I know Deliora is out of my reach and the blade of ashes cut out soul bond, which I'm alright with, she's happy with Ronnie has I was told"

Jess looked down at bottle with the glowing feather and sighs "Very well, lets head to my house here in Ravenswood and travel from there to the magic council. There you will be safe from the reaper, I however have to collect your soul and put it in a soul jar and keep it on me at all times until I'm finished with the potion" Hannibal chuckles "sounds good to me" Zach nodded but then frowned "What about Clover… what will you do to him..?" Hannibal sighs "when the time comes I will tell you for know lets head to the magic council with Regina's reincarnation" Jess narrowed "My name is Jess Lord Hannibal" Hannibal chuckles "My apologizes Lady Jess" Jess sighs "Come on lets get going"

Oberon was rushing to Seth's office. He has gotten a call from Thalia about him being found unconscious. Reaching the room, he heard Grayson crying his lungs out. Running in he saw Terra bouncing him trying to calm him down. He saw the bookcase that was being moved by guards. Thalia was fanning Seth who was laying on the couch. Oberon walked up to her. "What happened!?" "I don't know…the maids called us. They said the bookcase just fell on him and Grayson was just crying and crying. They couldn't calm him down."

They looked at Seth who was pale and sweaty now. "Do we call Zach? He's a doctor after all." Oberon frowned and looked at Terra who was finally calming Grayson down. "No…get Julian here instead." Thalia blinks. "But…" She then sighs. "Alright. Can you take him to his room?" Oberon nods and picked Seth up with ease and walked out the room. Terra followed behind him.

Thalia sighs again and started to walk when she felt a pair of arms wrap around her. She quickly spins around and gasps loudly to see Sirius standing behind her. "F-Father! But how!" "The veil my dear. I have longed to see you. After you were put to sleep, I blamed myself for ever asking that witch for help." "Is that all you came to apologize for?" She asked. "Why else would I apologize…" "For Seth! How could you do those things to him!" "He shouldn't even have been born…but do not worry, I will take care of it soon." "No! You will not lay a hand on my son!" Thalia says frowning. Sirius frowned at her and then glanced at the window. "I will fix the error and shame you brought to out name…" "Father!" Sirius disappeared from her sight. Thalia grips her fist and rushes out the door to get Oberon.

At Xacron, Bella was in the art club room. She was sitting at her station doing a Japanese brush painting. Her hair was in a ponytail and had her painting apron on. Her arm was softly moving make a prefect movement. She was so inter drawing she didn't sense Steven walking up behind, smiling he looked at her painting. It was a beautiful painting of a cherry blossom branch. Then Bella sensed someone next to her, Bella blinked and looked to her side with a smile "Oh hey hun, you done with your club meeting?" "Yeah. Nice painting. You were so focused on it. Does that mean your making it for someone?" Steven asked looking at the painting. Bella smiled went back at her painting "It's for auntie Oichi, I know this can never replace uncle's panting but I wanted to do something sweet for her"

An hour went by, at the magical council, Jess and Zach where in her personal potions room. One of Regina's magical books of potions where on a book holder opened to a page with a type of potion that was rare of making, it was called 'Phoenix birth'. Jess had Regina slightly take her over has she didn't know how to make this potion prefect has it's suppose to be, one wrong move and the potion can explode. Zach sat there watching her, on her hip was the soul jar with his father's soul 'once he's been resurrected I'll talk to him about the marriage contract…' then seeing the cauldron shine red orange, a smirk came on Jess's face "it's finished" she says moving her hand has a medium bottle came floating over. Jess grabbed it putt in on the table and a funnel in it and with a soup scoop she slowing poured it in. Zach got up and walked over, he walked the potion has it was Bubbling, Swirling, Glowing with am Orange and Red color to it. Jess finishing she put the cork on and looked at Zach "Alright take me to his body" Zach nodded to her.

In town, at Xacron, Ari walked into the coffee bar and smiled to see Al. Lately she had been coming here and became good friends with him. She walked up to the counter. "Al! Hello." He waves. "Hey, you want your norm?" "Yea please. Just an ice class of coffee with soy milk and a slice of strawberry cheese cake." "Alright. You seat is ready. I'll bring your food and drink over." Ari nods leaving money on the counter. She walked over to the window and sat down.

15 minutes later, Al walked over with her coffee and cheesecake. "Thank you." He sat down in front of her. "Taking your break?" "Yeah…so how is it over at the orphanage?" "It's okay. We got to make room for the hybrids children those who are mixed with Vampire. It seems those who were captured by those Vermont's were impregnated by them. They had the baby but sent them right to use not wanting to a reminder of what they went through…" She sighs softly. "Its so sad…" Al leans on his arm. "I see…do you still need help around there?" "Yes, we are understaffed right now." "Do you mind if I come and help?" Ari smiles sweetly at him. "That would be very nice! Are you good with children?" "….I don't know…" "Then I guess we will find out. When will you be free?" "After my shift here. I can help out got a while." "Thank you, Al. It means a lot to me that you are willingly to help." She blushes slightly. "You are very kind." Al sighs mentally. 'If you knew who I really was, would you be saying the same thing?' the sound of the door opening made him look to see Luna in her school uniform walk in an right away walked to further edge of the bar and sat down. removing her backpack she took out some of her books and started her homework.

He sighs. "Duty calls. If you need anything just call for me." Ari nodded and waved to him. He walked up to Luna. "Welcome to the coffee bar, can I get you something to drink or eat." He says with a soft sigh. Luna looked up and her eyes widen and smiled brightly "it's you, I see everything worked out" she giggled "you work here I take it? I'll have the Irish cream and a piece of cheese cake" 'he's still so very much handsome' Al took a notebook out and wrote her order. "It will be ready in about 10 to 15 minutes." He says walking away.

Deep in the Meyer's catacombs a special made elevator was made to get to his father's tomb since it was so hard to get to. The elevator opened, Zach stepped out with Jess following him. Walking through the stone circle hallway like tunnel, she can see a entrance. It was a large metal door. Zach walked over up to has it scanned Zach. It peeped "Access granted, Welcome King Zachariah Blood Meyers"the middle of the door swirled and glowed blue has it opened. Jess stepped over has another door like that opened behind it then two more making a total of four doors. Zach walked through the entrance and Jess followed him, to come to a room that slightly dim by the standing candles. In the middle of the room was wooden casket that was sitting on a small stone platform. Zach walked over to it and gently opened it. Jess stepped over to see Hannibal's body it looked perfect like he was just sleeping, had not once decayed. The color of his skin was pale like death but he still looked flawless. Zach looked at Jess who lifted the potion and uncorked it, she gently poured it on his body. They both watched Hannibal's body glowed and then burst into flames into ash in a shape of a body. Then the ash slowly feel off to show Hannibal's body, it was naked of course. Jess didn't waste anytime has she took the soul jar and Hannibal's soul out and enchanted a spell has Hannibal's soul went into the body, jess moved her hand has a blanket covered him. Jess smiled "It's done, we should take him back up to the manor. Fresh clothes and let him wake up when he is ready" Zach nodded picked his father and then both left to head back up to the manor with Hannibal.

Over at Seth's manor. Julian had came over as requested. He was checking up on Seth while Oberon and Thalia were speaking outside the door. "Your serious…he came to you!?" Thalia nods. "He is after Seth and if he finds a way to come back there is no telling what he is going to do…" Oberon frowns. "Why can't he stay dead…if it wasn't for him we could have raised Seth ourselves and the chains of events wouldn't had breed this family with hatred…" Thalia starts to tear up. "If I would have given myself up to Xavier then…at least…" Oberon grabbed her shoulders. "Don't think that way. Your father didn't understand our love and I would have never let you purposely walk into an arrangement like that." He wipes a tear from her eye. "We will protect our son. We couldn't do it the last time but this time he won't like your father have his way."

The door opened and Julian walked out. They turned to him. "How is he?" Thalia asked. "He will be fine. He is a little overworked and I notice that he hasn't been eating very well. He is keeping up with his blood uptake but he still needs to eat something." "Is there anything we can do?" "Yes, make sure he eats and rest. I've told Terra that I've placed him on a 2-week bed rest. I know you all are in a war right now, but it will do no good to drop dead in the middle of a battle." Oberon nods. "I agree. I will inform Dracula of his condition and ill take over." He looked at Thalia. "Watch over Seth okay?" Thalia nods. "Of course." Julian nods. "I'll take my leave then." He bows slightly and walked off.

As Julian turns the corner, he bumped into someone, he looked up to see Dracula. Dracula frowned "Is something wrong Julian?" Julian sighs softly and nodded telling Dracula of Seth. It was a quick summary, Dracula nodded to him and walked around the corner. Thalia and Oberon sees him and bowed "Lord Dracula.." Dracula frowns "Julian gave me a small story on what happen but I would like to know from you two on what happen to King Seth?"

They both sigh. "Well…with the veil opening it seems as my father's soul is on the loose and he came to see Seth…as I'm sure you are now aware of my father didn't treat Seth to kindly and I fear he may have trauma from it. Seeing my father made him pass out, and some how one of his bookcases fell on top of him scaring our grandson. It doesn't help that he was already overworking himself. Julian says that while he has been keeping up on his blood uptake, he hasn't been fully eating nor sleeping…probably due to the memories he once had buried away…His nightmares…Terra has been telling me that he would wake up pale, and covered in sweat, looking like he's seen a frightening vision." Thalia says as she frowned. "He is being put on bedrest for 2 weeks." Oberon says. "I will be taking over cleaning out the Vermont's. It is the least I can do for not being there when he was being tortured by that bastard…." Dracula hummed taping his chin "I see… so his soul is running around…" he snatched his teeth "Disgraceful man… if I come across his soul, I'll make sure he will go back to the reaper, even a soul he still will obey me, Thalia, Oberon make sure Seth is well watched. I can always call Zach in helping watch him?" "No, My Lord. It will be fine. Thalia and Terra will keep a close eye on him." Oberon says making Thalia look up to him.

At the coffee bar, Luna had removed her blazer and hanged it on the back of her chair. With her paranormal history book and her worksheet in front of her was doing her homework. Al finishing up cleaning the table, he glanced up and see's Luna. Her long dyed lime color green hair fell to her hips. She had her white-collar shirt rolled up to her elbows, her pencil moving elegantly has she wrote down on her worksheet. Her stopping for a moment and takes a bite of her cheesecake, he hears her hum softly with a flush on cheeks but went back to her homework.

He sighs and heads to the back. He finds his boss who happen to be Alley, on of Oichi's cousin, and the granddaughter of her aunt Heather. "Hey Alley? I'm going to the orphanage after my shift ends." She smiles. "You are helping Ari, right? Make sure you take her some snacks and if I were you, I would stop by the bookstore and pick up some books on how to treat children or something." He frowned at her. "Why?" "It will give you tips on how to be good with children." She chuckled making him roll his eyes at her. "I'll be fine. They are just kids…" He walked to the back to the employee break room.

On December 15th a few days before the quads birthday. Aliyah was being helped off the couch by Raphael and getting ready to head to the hospital. Her water had just broken and she couldn't have been more excited. She had already called Paxton and the family and they were meeting her at the hospital.

"Are you feeling, okay? Can you give birth up here?" Raphael asked with worry. "Yes, I'm okay and yes I can have the baby up here. With the help of Asmodeus she has made a special wing in the hospital just for us demons. The floor is a little underground and is covered in her healing flames. It will prevent me from burning the place down at least." Raphael nods and picks her up. "Alright then! Let's get you to the hospital so our little girl can be born!" She giggled as a portal opened and they rushed through it.

At the Meyers family, outside of Hannibal's bedroom. Clover's eyes widen at him "You brought back father…?" Draven looked shocked but smiled "dad… it's been forever.. does he still look the same?" Zach nodded "Yeah…" Clover bites his lip "Did you tell Daeva?" Zach nodded "Yeah she came here before you two did then left" "And… what about mom…?" Clover gulped. Zach sighs softly "I told her, she started to cry which got Ronnie glare darkly at me…. I told mom that father knows that he can't be with you and he will respect it none the less.. he knows how happy she is plus the bond they had was served from the blade of ashes" Clover frowns looking away. Draven looked at him "Clover…." Clover gripped his fists "I killed him… I shouldn't be here when he wakes up…" Zach and Draven frowns at him "you should stay for when he does… he knows Clover and you will face him" Clover growled and rushed off.

Draven sighs "he's so stubborn…." Zach nodded, Draven looked up at him "How.. are you doing Zach…? After Dawn left you.. how are holding out?" Zach frowns looking away "I'm fine…" Draven sighs "so did you hear about Seth?" Zach turned to him "What about Seth?" Draven blinked at him "I thought you would have known… uhm.. he's on bed rest… that's what Dracula said in the meeting the other day at the war council meeting" Zach's eyes widen "in bed rest..?!" Draven reached and petted his arm "Go, go see him brother" Zach smiled and rushed off to see Seth. Draven chuckles watching him run off 'still in love'

At the hospital, Raphael was walking with Aliyah who was on a rolling bed. The nurses and Julian were taking them to the special demon rooms underground. They walked to a large elevator that was big enough to put the bed in. Once the doors closed, Julian hit a button that said negative 2. The elevator went down until it hit the floor. The door opened and they walked into a white room with blue linings. There was another nurse station that were just demons.

Julian walked up to the desk. "Paxton and his family will be here soon. Direct them to the seating rooms." The nurses nodded. Aliyah started to rub her belly. "It's getting a little painful over here…" "Take her to the room and get her ready." The nurses nodded and rushed her to the room with Raphael behind them.

Already in the waiting room, on the main floor, Markth and Charlotte had arrived first before anyone. Markth helped her over to the recliner chair, Charlotte sat down "I'll go see how she is doing" Markth says to her, she nodded has Markth walked away to talk to a nurse.

He spotted a nurse. "Excuse me. My sister Aliyah should have been here. Do you have any news on her?" The nurse blinks and smiles. "Ah. They are on a new floor underground." Markth blinks. "Underground?" "Yes, it's a brand-new room made for demons only. I can lead you there since you need a nurse or doctor to go with you. The elevator is only operation for that floor if one of us hit the button. A new security feature now." "I see…" He looked in the waiting room. "Do you have a wheelchair I can use? My…" "Say no more. We have one prepared for her." She motions a young man to bring the wheelchair over. Markth took it and went to go get Charlotte.

Once she was in a wheelchair they walked over to the elevator. Charlotte looked very tired. "Ma'am are you feeling, okay?" The nurse asked. "Y-Yes…just a little uncomfortable." She rubs her belly feeling intense movements in her belly. "I see. Well please let us know if you are feeling any pain." The nurse hit the button and stepped inside. Markth pushed Charlotte inside. He gave her a worried look as the door closed. The nurse hit the button and they were taking down to floor negative two. "Please head to the nursing station and they will tell you where to go."

Markth nods and pushed Charlotte to nursing Station. "We are looking for Aliyah and Raphael?" The nurse nods. "Right this way sir." She led them to a private room that was connected to Aliyah's room. The nurse closed the door and went back to her station. Markth helped Charlotte out the wheelchair into another recliner. She sighs happily feeling the comfort. Markth sat beside her holding her hand.

At Seth's manor, the maid had let Zach in, Zach walked through the manor to Seth bedroom. Reaching his bedroom, he softly knocked. The door soon open and Thaila blinked at him. Zach smiled "hello Lady Thaila, I'm here to see Seth.. I heard that he was put on bed rest and came to see how he was doing" "He is doing fine…I ask that you keep your visit short though. He needs his rest." She says opening the door wider. Seth was in his bed with a cold rag on his forehead. Beside him was Grayson sleeping on top of a light blanket. Zach smiled softly stepping over, sitting down. reaching out taking Seth's hand "Lady Thaila I was never told on why he's on bed rest… I know he use to catch the vampiric cold a lot when he was younger, does he have a vampiric cold?" 'for some reason I feel like something else….'

Thalia sighs at seeing him hold Seth's hand. "No…he just overworked himself. We haven't told anyone because he needed some actual rest. Should he learned that people were coming to see him then he would put on a front…as well…Oberon did not want you here for the time being while Seth was recovering." Zach frowned "Why…?"

Thalia walks to the bed and picks up Grayson. "You are getting too close to Seth. Forgive my bluntness but you do know he is married. I can't ask for you to stop trying to get close to him but please remember that he still loves his wife who will be walking through the door in about 30 seconds." Zach lets go of Seth's hand. "Zach…I know you care a lot for Seth but please do not make this harder on him right now. He needs to come to a clear decision if he wants to be with you or Terra…don't force him to choose because your actions, whether you realize it or not is leading him down that path…My son is stubborn and heartless sometimes. So heartless that he would rather allow himself to be unhappy if it were to make everyone else happy. If you push to hard, that is what he will do again. Lock his heart away to where no one will be able to get through" Zach bites his lip "Yes I know… I'm sorry Lady Thaila…"

Terra soon went walked in with a fresh towel. She smiled looking at Zach. "Oh, welcome King Zach. I was unaware that you were stopping by for a visit today." Zach smiled at her "my brother Draven told me that Seth was bed rest…. I'm sorry intruding on you all, Seth is a dear friend of mine and wanted to see how he was doing…"

She walked over and moved the rag from Seth's head. She dips a fresh one in cold water, and places it over Seth head. He breaths out softly. Terra smiles and rubs his cheek before kissing him softly. "Get some rest my dearest." Thalia could see the hint of sadness in Zach's eyes before he hid it. "Lady Thalia I can take Gray. It's time for his bath." Thalia nods and hands him to Terra. "Good bye King Zach. When Seth wakes up I will let you know." She says bowing slightly before leaving the room. The door clothes behind her.

Thalia looks at Zach who looked at Seth. "Zach dear…I just want you to know that whatever decision Seth makes I will stand beside him. If he chooses to stay with Terra I know it will heart…" She grabbed her chest. "To tell you a secret…When Ronnie picked your mother over me it was devastating…" Zach frowns "I know… mother was worried you would hate her…"

She smiles a bit sadly. "I asked for your mother, Ronnie, and Lady Selena to keep it a secret so no bad rumors would start floating around." She rubs her hands together. "I couldn't tell you how long I cried or how long the pain stung. It got to the point where I couldn't be around them. My heart couldn't take it. So I ran from Xacron and lived isolated from everyone. I was brokenhearted but I never once held any anger or hateful emotions towards your mother. If Ron was going to choose anyone over me then I'd rather it would have been her since she could give the love he deserves…so I hope…that if Seth chooses his life with Terra, you will respect his decision even if the pain is to great to bear…" Zach closes his eyes and nodded "I will respect his decision and stay away…" Zach says as some tears come down his face "I've been in love with him since we were teenagers…." He looks at Thalia who had wide eyes, Zach soft smile "I truly do love him and will respect whatever he does" he sighs softly and looked back at Seth. His phone peeped, reaching for his phone he grabbed and it looked at it. he sighed softly "It seems I'm being paged to Clinic, Lady Aliyah has gone into labor" Zach leaned over and kissed Seth's forehead and leaning back "please do let me know when he wakes up, Lady Thalia…?" Thalia breaths out softly. "You will know when we decide to let the word out. Should he wake anytime soon."

Paxton and the family arrived at the hospital, being led in by a nurse, they were shown the new waiting room. Paxton sighs looking at Markth. "Charlotte…how are you feeling?" "Okay for now." Skylar walked up to Charlotte. "Nana! You gonna have baby to!" "In due time Sky." Skylar giggled and skipped over to Paxton who sat down with Sonya. The twins were in strollers sleeping Semyaza sat down beside Sonya and yawns.

In the operating room, Aliyah was propped up and ready to push. Raphael held her hand. Julian was wearing a fireproof doctor's coat on with specialty made gloves so he wouldn't get burned. "Okay Aliyah…its time to push." Aliyah nods and squeezes Raphael's hand as she started pushing.

Out in the room they felt Aliyah's demon powers grow. "Looks like she is starting." Paxton says with a frown. Sonya held his hand. "She will be fine." "I know…it doesn't make me worry Amy less." Charlotte frown felling pinching in her belly. She rubbed her belly feeling what she thought was a kick. She smiles softly. 'I guess I'll be up next…' Markth smiles holding Charlotte's hand "Soon the baby will be here" Markth was excited for his sister.

A little over an hour went by when the room started to shake a little. Skylar whimpers and ran to Semyaza. "Semmy! Hug me!" He chuckles and picks her up. She cuddles into his chest. "Don't be scared." "Granny gonna be ok?" "Yup and we get a new auntie!" Skylar giggled. "Yay!"

The room shook more as they felt a heavy load of Aliyah's demon powers. Charlotte bit her lip and squeezes Markth's hand. He looked at her. "What's wrong?" They turned to her. "Nothing…just a bit uncomfortable…" Paxton frowned. "You don't need to front. If your in pain you should tell us…" Semyaza and Skylar gave her a worried look. "Nana?" Skylar says in a sweet voice. When she did that Charlotte couldn't help but give her what she wants. Markth kissed her hand "Love what's wrong?"

"I'm…scared…" She says blushing. "I haven't been in this…situation before…" She starts to tear up. "Feeling Lady's Aliyah's power all the way out here is making me nervous…I'm sorry..." Paxton smiles. "You don't have to apologize. Your about to be a first-time mom. It's normal to get nervous like this." Markth chuckles "it's normal love" Markth then notice Zach walking over to the nurses station "So I'm not needed?" they heard Zach "Uhm no Julian has it under control" a nurse told him. Zach nodded put looked at a chart has a powerful wave of demonic power shook the room from Aliyah. Markth blinked "wow that was strong"

He felt Charlotte squeeze his hand more. He turns back to see her looking in pain. "Charlotte?" "Something…is wrong…" She says shaking. Paxton from getting up. He walked to her and placed a hand on her belly. He frowned as he felt a powerful kick. He removed his hand, shaking it. "Charlotte we may need to get you a doctor." "What why?" "I remember when Hannibal was born…he grew too fast and there was a high possibility he would bust out of Kaci's stomach. It seems like that may be the case for you to. It seems your baby has been fully grown for a while and is about to come out though your stomach." "No…that…" They suddenly saw a handprint push up out her belly. Charlotte gasps as the spot where they handprint started to bleed. She started to panic and suddenly cried out when two handprints started to press up against her belly more forcefully, making those spots bleed as well. Markth's eyes widen "oh my god…"

Paxton rush to the door. "The baby must be reacting to moms' pulses!" He stuck his head out the door.. "We need a doctor in here now!" He called out. Zach looked over and frowned, he walked over "Paxton what is wrong?" "It's Charlotte. She needs help."

Zach blinked and followed him to Charlotte, Markth looked up at him "Zach! She's gone into labor!" Zach knelled "how far are your contractions?" "She's like Kaci, remember with Hannibal?" Paxton asks him, Zach nodded "alright" he stands up to see a demon male nurse "Cole!" Cole looked over "Yes doctor Zach?" "Is there another room available down here?" "There are plenty. The room down the hall from here is free."

Charlotte screams out as she clenched her stomach. "Nana!" Skylar and Semyaza yells out. Charlotte tears feeling the baby frantic in her stomach, pushing against her. The pinching returned but this time it felt like something was trying to claw its way out. Zach's and Markth's eyes widen "Markth pick her up know and come with me to the room know, we have to do a C-Section right away" Markth nodded picking up Charlotte following Zach, Paxton bites his lip worried watching them rush off.

"Honey if you want to go you can…" Sonya says. "No…mom wanted me to be here…I'm sure…Markth will watch over her." Sonya smiles. "a few months ago, you would have done everything you could to prevent him getting close to her. Is this a signal of you finally accepting him?" Paxton sighs and sat down beside her. "Don't read into it to much. I'm sure Charlotte would rather have her mate right now. Once Mom delivers her baby, we go make sure Charlotte is okay." Sonya chuckles and nods.

Hours past, and soon the doors to Aliyah's room opened. Raphael walked out holding a pink bundle. He smiled brightly. "She's here!" Semyaza got up with Skylar in his arms and looked at the bundle. "Whoa! She got your hair and grandma's eyes! What you name her?" Raphael smiled. "I named her Angelica." Sonya and Paxton got up and looked at her. She looked a bit more like Raphael. Angelica had black hair with bright pink eyes. She was looking at them with a widen expression. "Aw! She's so cute!" Sonya days. Paxton smiles. "My sister…oh speaking about that…Charlotte went into labor kind of." "She did?" Raphael asked. "What do you mean kind of?" "The baby reacted to moms demonic pulses and is trying to rip out of her belly. Zach took her to do a C-Section." "I see…well we are all good here. You can go check on her." They nodded at him and watched him go back inside the room.

Paxton went to go check on Charlotte, reaching the door it opened and Markth had stepped out with a blue bundle in his arms. Paxton blinked at him, Markth smiled "Paxton" Risa and Kaede had rushed over "Dad! We got your call!" Markth chuckles "Meet your baby brother, Zyaire" Risa and Kaede stepped over looking down at their baby brother. Zyaire was wide awake, he had purple hair and purple eyes looking up at them with wide eyes. Risa giggled "He's so cute!" Kaede nodded "yeah, how's auntie doing?" they looked at Paxton. "Yes how is my sister doing Paxton?" "She is fine. Dad named the baby Angelica. They are getting her cleaned up and moved." Markth smiles "good"

They heard high heels walking. Turning they saw Asmodeus walking up in a black business suit. She had a soft smile on her face. "Asmodeus?" Paxton says in shock. "What are you doing here?" She giggled. "I made a promise to my oldest daughter to be here for the birth of her first child." She looked at the bundle in Markth's arms. "That must be my grandson. I assume that Charlotte is okay?" "Through some complications she should be fine." Paxton says as she walked by him. She looks down at Zyaire and smiled. "Oh. How cute. He gained Charlotte's featured but I can see more of your features Markth's. Congratulations" Markth smiles at her "Thank you Lady Asmodeus, would you like to hold your grandson?"

"Yes please." She says. He hands her Zyaire. His wide eyes locked on to Asmodeus. She giggled looking down at him. "Hello there. I'm your grandmother." She pokes his nose gently making him smile. Zach steps out of the room has a male demon nurse pushed out Charlotte who was still asleep. Zach smiled "Oh lady Asmodeus, your daughter is doing fine, Cole is gonna be bring her to room 456" "I see. Thank you for delivering Zyaire and taking care of my daughter." Asmodeus says rubbing Zyaire's tiny hands. Zach smiles "you are welcome" Rose had came over with a hospital bassinet "Hello there everyone" Markth chuckles "Hello Princess Rose" Rose smiled "Whenever you finished passing him around we can bring him up to his mother" Zach chuckles "Well I'll leave it to you Rose" he says bowing and walking away.

Asmodeus handed Zyaire to Paxton. "I heard Lady Aliyah went into labor as well?" Paxton nods. "How wonderful. She will be thrilled to see her nephew. I'll be heading that way now." She ruffles his hair making him blush slightly before walking off. Paxton sighs and looked down at Zyaire. He was starting at him with interest. Paxton couldn't help but chuckle. "At least you got her hair and eyes. I can get by that you look like your…dad…" Zyaire smiled at him. He handed him back to Markth. "Congratulations…you made Charlotte happy…it better stay that way…stupid uncle…" He mumbles walking away.

As the month of December went by it was soon January 4th, In Phoenix's hideout, Valeriea had return a few days prior. She was in her room with Crissy. "It was foolish of you to talk back to Lady Phoenix." Valeriea says with sigh. "I know but…this is your daughter Val. Are you sure you want to just give her to Phoenix? After you done this task, your magic will be at its lowest. Please, you can run away with me. We can raise our daughters alone in a more peaceful place. Away from all this." She grabbed Valeriea's hand. "We can be together once more like the olden days."

Valeriea pulls her hand away. "Even if I were to do that, I doubt Marik would be pleased. He will be able to find me and bring me back. So that is a waste of time. Though, you are free to do whatever you like…if you enjoyed your peaceful life then feel free to run back to it. I will not stop you." Crissy shakes her head. "No…I'll remain by your side, just like I promised." "I see. Then you can gather all the witches under me. Tell them it's finally time to show their loyalty…and…" She pauses. "Val?" Valeriea held her stomach. "Find some assistance…it seems I've gone into labor." Crissy jumps up and noticed the water spot growing between her legs. "Oh! The baby is coming! I'll be right back!" She says dashing out the room. Valeriea let's out a soft sigh.

At Zach's manor, Zach had his children over. They where sitting in Zach's office, "So why did you call us here dad?" Aurora asks. Haley nodded "Father what happen?" Rose holding baby Athena "is it about mom….?" Rick and Chida frowned at him. Zach stood there by the fireplace leaning against it "when the veil was open, your grandfather came to me" their eyes widen "grandfather Hannibal…?" Aurora asks. Zach nodded "Things happen and with he help of jess making a potion from a phoenix feather your grandfather kept hidden in a secret potion room we rebirth his body bring him back… he's currently asleep, he's been asleep… Jess said it will take time for when he his body and soul wake up"

Aurora frowned "What about grandma…? Does she know?" they all look at him and he nodded "yes your grandmother knows, Ronnie at first I could tell wanted to punch me but I explained that your grandfather Hannibal knows and respects your grandmothers happiness with Ronnie.." Rose breaths softly "what was grandpa Hannibal like?" Aurora smiled "Grandma told me he was a very gently and kind man… between him and the old king of Ruska family, he was the well liked…" then they all jumped from Zach growling "Sirius… that man was cruel and black hearted man" then he shook his head "When your grandfather wakes up I will call you al back here, I'm off to see Seth so leave your grandfather alone in his room" Zach says to them has he was about to leave "Wait dad" he stopped and looks at Aurora, her other siblings looked at her. She smiled "I'm pregnant" eyes widen at her. Hailey and Rose gasped "no way…!" "You and Alex have been trying for decades and know you are finally gonna have a baby..!" Zach smiled brightly at her, walking over to him. He hugged her "How far are you?" Aurora giggled "a month and 4 days pregnant" Rick and Chida chuckled "Congrats sis" Haley and Rose smiled brightly at her "Congrats Aurora!"

Oichi was sitting in her office working, when Orochi walked in. Oichi smiles. "Hi honey." He walked over to her. "I'm horny. I want you now." Oichi blushed. "Really!? That is such a vulgar thing to say." "The twins are sleeping. I figured we can get a quick few rounds in." Oichi shakes her head getting up. "I spoil you to much." Right as they started to kiss, a portal opened up and Dargrath walked through. He blinks seeing them making out. He cleared his throat making Oichi jump.

"Dargrath! W-Welcome back!" Orochi rolls his eyes and goes to sit on the couch. Oichi sat back at her desk. "I've come with news…not great…" Oichi frowned. "What news…" "In Switzerland, I had a few of my demons slip in and out of town to see if anything was going on." He walked up to her. "I have an ability that will allow you to see what I saw." He reached out and touched her forehead. Her eyes widen as she was soon standing in a forest beside him. "Whoa…" Dargrath chuckled as the sight moved to a clear field. Oichi's eyes widen to see large floating trees with black and purple crystals. "What are those!?" "Magical bombs…it seems Valeriea has been stockpiling a lot of magic. If that goes off all of Switzerland will be destroyed."

Oichi grips her fist as Dargrath removed his hand and they came back to the office. She stood up. "Orochi. I'm calling a war council immediately! Valeriea must be stopped now!" Orochi gets up. "Alright. Consider it done." He says walking out. "Dargrath come with me. I need to visit my brother…" Dargrath nods and followed her out the room.

Jess and her family where at the beach has it was finally open to the public know after shark mating season. She was wearing a Green Printed and Lettering Push Up bikini, Elvira in her lap was wearing a cute Mermaid One-Piece Swimsuit, she was moving her arms around screaming happily. Aerith next to her digging in the ice box was wearing her purple and white tie dye bikini. Ebony sitting also next to Jess wearing a black and yellow sunflower bikini, she was putting sunscreen lotion on Harley's face. Harley and Draco sitting there wearing identical blue shark Printed Raglan-Sleeve One-Piece.

They where under a large beach umbrella and sitting on XL towel, with an ice cooler that had some soda, sippy cups for the boys and some bottles for Elvira. Ebony smiled "Well one twin down, Draco your turn" Draco smiled sitting up and walked up to her "Me next!" Ebony giggled at him. Jess smiled "it's such a nice day outside, Rick and Chida would be here soon" Aerith taking a cherry coke and closing the ice cooler "Why has dad been mean to uncle Chida lately?" Jess sighs "because your father is idiot, where is Klaus?" "Oh he went out for a walk, he said he'll be back" Ebony says. Jess nodded bouncing Elvira who screamed reaching for her plush.

In Mikey's lab. Oichi and Dargrath walked in. Zane was frowning. "She's going to hate this..." "Who is going to hate what?" Oichi asked. Zane jumped up. "Sis! Hey! What are you doing here?" Oichi raised her eyebrow. "Last I checked this lab is under my castle…so why wouldn't I be here…what did you do!?" Zane gasps. "What!? Why do you assume it's me!" The door opened and Mikey walked out cleaning his hands. "Hey sis. What's up?" "Is there something going on here?" Oichi asked crossing her arms. "No!" Zane says. "Yes." Mikey says. Zane glares at Mikey. "I'm not in the mood to play games. What did you two do!?" Oichi snaps at them.

"We experimented on Damien." Mikey says bluntly. Oichi's eyes widen. "WHAT!?" She screamed out, shaking the room. Zane backs up. "We? No he did! I told him it was a bad idea!" Mikey walks up to her. "Brother explain yourself! What did you do to Damien!?" "I was looking for a way to make him bigger. Did you know he is part dire wolf? That's fascinating." Oichi stormed up to him. "Damien is big enough! I don't need him bigger!" Mikey pouted. A rare sight to see. "But I already made a growth serum…all those long weeks are gonna go to waste." "I don't care Mikey. Don't touch my wolf!" She rushed past him and opened the door to see Damien resting on a large table. She rushed to him rubbing his nose. "Damien…" He opened his eyes and his head pops up happy to see her. Rolling off the table he went to lick her face. "Hold on silly. Not right now. You will get all wet and slimy. He nuzzled his nose on her neck making her giggle. Mikey walked in. "See…he is fine."

"Mikey no going all mad scientist on my Damien!" Oichi says making him pout more. "Fine…" He says with a huff. "Good. Now I need you to start working on teleporting me and an army to Switzerland along with my special military outfit." Mikey frowns. "Are we going to war?" "Yes, Valeriea is moving to destroy Switzerland. We can't let that happen like what happened to Jento." Mikey nods. "I'll get to work." "Thanks brother." Rex appeared "Sorry to interrupt but Lady Ziana is demanding lobster, crap, shrimp and melted butter along with tons of watermelon"
(others)

Ebony and Aerith where in the water in the shallow end with twins. Jess under the umbrella smiled at them. Elvira was in a cute unicorn kiddie pool, she was sitting in the shallow water screaming splashing around. Rick and Chida finally arrived shortly ago, however Levis was taking over Rick's body at the moment, has he was sitting on at the edge of the kiddie pool chuckling at his daughter.

Chida sitting next to Jess having a soda smiled watching the girls play with the twins. "Lady Jess" Jess looked over to see Michael walk over with Darcaniea and Velkan, Alexis in his arms wearing a cute blue unicorn one piece. Jess smiled "welcome" Darcaniea frowned and sat down. She was wearing a black and white one piece "you sure it's alright?" Darcaniea asked, Jess nodded "Yes I did after invite you and Velkan here" Velkan smiled sitting down, he was jus tin a black swimming trunks. Darcaniea looked out by the water and smiled to see her daughter and Aerith playing with the twins in the water.

Michael sitting down on the other side of Jess with a sigh. Jess looked up at him, Alexis giggled clapping "water!" Jess smiled "she is just cute" Michael smiled "Yes, alright lets get some sunscreen on you" Alexis giggled. Jess chuckles at her, Chida smiled. Feeling his phone vibrate, he took it out and looked at a Text from Lucius, Chida flushed and smiled. Texting him back "Jess I'm gonna go take a walk" Jess nodded "If you see Klaus tell him to come back" Chida nodded getting out from under the umbrella and walked off.

At Seth's, Terra was taking away some empty plates in Seth's room. She turned and smiled at Seth who was now up. He had a book in his hands with Grayson laying on his lap. "How are you feeling dear?" Seth sighs. "Okay. But would you believe me?" "Nope!" She says with a giggle. Seth chuckled. "I see, so you can see past my lies?" "Believe it or not, when I got to know you more, I could tell you were pretty good at lying with basic things. Like when I asked you if you liked a certain meal. You said yes because it was my favorite even though your face said you hated it." She starts to laugh. Seth smiles softly. "I was trying to impress you. Did it work?" "Oh yes, I was beyond impressed of your sour face." She sat down beside the bed and gave off a sad look. "Another thing I noticed…" "Hm?" "Is that when you smile like that…when you remember something…that smile isn't directed at me is it…" Seth frowned. "Terra…" Terra gets up with a smile, masking her feelings. "Oh! I need to get these to the kitchen and I'll bring you some more reading materials! Make sure Gray is comfortable!" She quickly rushes out the door. Seth frowned and rubbed his head getting a headache. 'I'm not smiling at her…then who…' He bit his lip in frustration.

Zach walking through Seth's manor with a bag over his shoulder, he almost bumped into Terra, she blinked at him and smiled "Oh hello King Zach" Zach smiled "hello Lady Terra, do you need any help?" "Oh no King Zach, I'll be alright" she says to him, Zach chuckles "alright, I see he's awake. How is he doing?" "He doing better. If you will excuse me. I have to take these dishes to the kitchen."

Zach smiled watching her walk off, he turned and walked towards to Seth's room. Reaching it, he knocked on the door and heard Seth's voice "Come in" Zach opened the door and walked in closing it. Seth's blinks at him, Zach smiled walking over "Hey there, I see your up" sitting down putting the bag on his lap opening it.

"What do you have…" Seth asks. Zach smiled "Sense your gonna be stuck in bed I have brought you some books I found in an antique store. Two History books, Three Biographies and five mysteries books" he says taking them out for him and putting them down next to him. Seth blinked and reached for one. "I see…thank you." He placed the one he grabbed and sat it beside him. After adjusting Grayson on his lap he went back to reading the book he already had. "Shouldn't you be busy with something instead of stopping by?" Zach blinked at him "like what?" Seth's eye almost twitched at that answer. "Like your work…" Zach chuckles "my brothers are doing it for me" taking something else making Seth look over and sniffed "Is that…" Zach smiled "Yup blood chips, my mom's recipe. She asked me to bring this over for you" he opens the bag takes one out "Say ahhh" he moved it to Seth's mouth.

Seth took the chip from his hand. "I'm not so tired that I can't feed myself…" He says with a tint of red on his cheeks. He bit into one. "Tell her I said thanks…" Zach chuckles at him take one taking a bit it.

At Phoenix's hideout, in the medical room, the walls were cracked and damaged from Valeriea giving birth. Xavier was standing outside the door. He felt uneasy during the birthing process. Valeriea's daughter, who she named Vivienne, Vivi for short, was pulsing nothing more than demonic aura. You could barely tell if she was a witch. Xavier rubbed his chin. 'One daughter that hides her demon side and other that hides her witch side. Val…' He smirked darkly. "Just what are you planning. Whatever it is I hope it will be thrilling."

Inside the room, Crissy had been holding Valeriea's hand until Phoenix had come. Valeriea's grip was much to strong for Crissy and she nearly had broken it but Phoenix held her other hand with a calm look on her face." Crissy bit her lip as jealousy started to fill her chest. Noah was cleaning up Valeriea who had passed out after the process. She didn't get a chance to even see her daughter.

Crissy frowned looking at Phoenix who was holding a pink bundle. Vivi had black hair and gray eyes. She was staring up at Phoenix with a blank stare. Phoenix couldn't help but chuckle at that. They suddenly felt a shake, damages the walls a bit more.

Outside the room, a portal opened and Marik walked out with a smile. Xavier chuckled. "Welcome Lord Zi. I thought you wouldn't miss the fireworks." Marik chuckled back. "I was a bit busy. My pet was lonely so I had to make special time for him." "Ho? Still making him crawl on all fours? I wish you would have brought him. I bet Paimon would have loved the sight." They both flashed a dark and evil smile. "I like you, Xavier. Let us have a drink one day." Xavier chuckled and bows to him as he walked to the door. He opened it with one hand and walked in to see Phoenix and Crissy. He smiles looking at Valeriea. "Well done my beautiful black rose…" He looks at Phoenix. "Well now…it's been a while, but I see you have been quite busy." Phoenix chuckles "Hello Lord Zi"

Crissy's eyes widen and blush at such a handsome figure. "Who are you?" Marik looked at her. "Lord Zi…King of hell darling. My, you must have been living under a rock. You must be Crissy? Val told me all about you." "She did…?" "Oh yes, it's because of you that she went down this path. I should kill you for making her hurt so much over your death." His eyes flashed bright red making Crissy break out into a sweat. She shook moving away from him. "Tread carefully from now on. I could always use another pet…"

He looked at the pink bundle Phoenix was holding. "Lady Phoenix…may I have my daughter. I will be taking her home with me." Crissy frowned. "But Val hasn't seen her yet…" "And that is what she wants. So, I will take her before she wakes. What was the name she gave our child?" He says walking up to Phoenix. "Vivienne…Vivi for short." Marik held up his hand. "My daughter please." Phoenix chuckles "Of course Lord Zi" Phoenix gently put Vivi in Marik's arms.

Marik smiles and looks down at Vivi. Her eyes widen slightly looking at him. "Oh? Do you recognize me as your father? How adorable." He looked at Valeriea and reached to rub her face. "My beloved dark rose…I suppose this is farewell for now. Our daughter will be taken well care of though I'm sure you have already made future plans with her. For this much demon aura to be leaking out you must have sealed her witch side while she was in your belly. You're to cunning for your own good." He moved away. "Farewell Lady Phoenix. I hope you do well to care of her other daughter as well or I shall come for her to…and it will not be such a pleasant visit for when I do…" He takes his leave opening a portal and leaving with Vivi.

Crissy frowns, upset on what had just happened. "You are just letting him take her!? How could you!" She says glaring at Phoenix. "I don't know what Val sees you as. She gives you guardianship of a child you will most likely harm and then you let the King of hell take her second one! What kind of a teacher are you!" He hands glowed in darkness. "You don't deserve someone special like Val!" then suddenly she dropped to the ground on her knee's, the hole side of her right face started grow black veins and she was screaming in pain, blood was coming from her ears and nose. Xavier rushed in and his eyes widen at this. Phoenix turned to Cissy with her hair floating up and her magic had spiked up to a dangerous level making Xavier's body shook from this sudden powerful magic from Phoenix. Phoenix's eyes narrowed with glowing red eyes "Didn't I say to mind your tongue or I would kill you, how are you enjoying the death curse I have places on you? It's a powerful curse, not even you can remove, it's slowly destroying your body making this very painful" a dark grin came across Phoenix's face.

Crissy glared at her through the pain. "H-How dare you…Val will grow angry at you. Everyone is leaving your side and she will to! No one fears you, with all the hiding you do! All you will have left is your disgusting vampire, and your worthless children and I'll bet they will leave you to! When you meet your end one day know that I will be laughing from the other side…!" Phoenix closes her eyes as the curse on Cissy has disappeared "you're lucky I deeply care for Valeriea or you would be nothing but a pile of rotting corpse"

"What did you…" in mid-sentence Phoenix grabbed her tongue "Shhhh I think it's best for you to shut up don't you think?" Phoenix let go of her tongue and Cissy was about to yell but her eyes widen. Her voice was gone "at least losing your voice is better than killing you, I'm just sick of hearing your voice… I will speak Valeriea about how you have disrespecting me and Xavier in my own home, leave Cissy or I would do more then take your tongue"

Crissy bit her lip and quickly left a room walking by Xavier. He whistled. "That's a first…normally she just accepts whatever is going on. She really doesn't like you." Phoenix sighs "I don't know why, I didn't do anything to her"

Walking up to Phoenix he wraps his arms around her, hugging her gently. "If it makes you feel better, know that I will never leave your side. No matter what happens you still have me, Val, Aubrie, Walter, and now Zarisa." He presses his body up against her closely. "You may think this is weak of me, but I do love you my perfectly, amazing, dark witch." Phoenix giggled turning around wrapping arms around his neck grinning "I love you too my sexy vampire lord" Xavier chuckled has their lips connected and their tongues swirled. Noah stepped in blinked at them "Lady Phoenix?" Phoenix and Xavier broke apart "What is it Noah?" Noah gulped "she's awake…."

Phoenix smiled letting go of Xavier and grabbing him down below making Xavier's eyes widen at her, she grinned at him "tonight" she whispered to him and walked off to see Valeriea. Xavier bit his lip shivering. He wanted to take her now but for now he would behave himself…until tonight of course. He chuckled and followed Phoenix.

Walking up they saw Valeriea using magic to carefully, shrink her stomach back down. "You sure you should be using your magic for that." Xavier asked. "It doesn't waste much…besides I need to stay on task…Did Marik come for Vivi?" Xavier nods. "Yup but before that. We need to talk about Crissy…" Valeriea looked at them narrowing her eyes. "What about her…" Phoenix sighs and sits down "She is super disrespectful, you wont believe on how she was just about me and Xavier it was ugly. Valeriea I love and care for you but I could not deal with her mouth anymore so I took her tongue until she has learned her lesson then I will give it back, better then me killing which I so much desire too…" Phoenix pouted slightly.

"Hmm…interesting…normally Crissy will accept whatever is happening and move on," Valeriea says getting up. "That's what I said…seems like the year she spent with Zarisa may have softened her up. Though the child has no interest in her." Xavier says crossing his arms. "No matter..." Valeriea says to them. "In the end she is nothing more then a pawn. I do need you to return her tongue though lady Phoenix. She will need it when she gathers the rest of my followers to Switzerland." Xavier eyes lit up. "Is it time finally? Will I be able to play with Oberon once more!?" He looked as excited as a kid that went into the candy store for the first time. Phoenix 'don't want to give her tongue back…' "Fine…"

"The Vermont's are keeping him and the vampires busy, but I have come into contact with Shawn and Abby." Xavier blinks. "The witch that took the woman's Grace body and the head of the Vermont clan?" Valeriea nods. "Yes, though she wants nothing to do with Lady Phoenix and myself she has agreed to hand Shawn and the Vermont clan over to you." Xavier hums out. "Do I really want scums like that…" "Yes, you do. You will take them in and use them to keep the pressure off my plans. With the vampires distracted the little wolf pup won't have much of a force when she comes to me." Xavier chuckles. "I see. Then it will be done but I will not give them my family name." "That is fine for now."

She looked at Phoenix. "Lady Phoenix. I do offer my apologizes for how Crissy has spoken to you. Even if she is my dearest friend, she has no right to disrespect you especially after everything you have done for me." Phoenix nodded "Damn straight, I did nothing to her but be nice"

Valeriea closes her eyes and then opens them. "I also wish to apologize for the events that are about to happen. As you are aware of…my magic is leaving me at the cost of the immortality potion….after this last assault…my magic will be no more and I fear that I am no use to you like that. After my goal is completed, I will most likely be captured and maybe even sealed or my own soul taken, and it pains me that I will have to once again leave your side." Phoenix frowned "Val…"

"So, you are giving yourself up?" Xavier asked with a frown. "No…well in a way but a fight will insure. Once they do what they want, there is a spell on Zarisa's heart. Should she ever learn of me or wishes to free from imprisonment one day, the seal will activate, and she will seek me out and do whatever she can to set me free. Even if she has to sacrifice her own soul to do it." "Mhmm…is that why you wanted her to be with Phoenix?" "Yes, so that she can be trained properly to use whatever magic ability she has gain. Her demon powers will mature over time and will help her as well. I also didn't want her to see my face so early or know anything about me until her powers can truly be used." Phoenix smiled "I will train her well"

"What about Vivi?" Xavier asked. "She was pouring out a lot of demon aura…" Valeriea smirked. "It's for Ikari of course." Xavier eyes widen slightly. "You're not going to use her for a sacrifice are you?" "No…a child with Marik wasn't fully planned but it worked out. A daughter or son born with his genes would be enough to keep that silly deity in check once she finishes her fun. The body she has now will break and when it does, she will be instantly sealed inside Vivi making her the host." Xavier chuckled. "You really have thought about this…impressive. You thoughts darling?" Xavier asked Phoenix. Phoenix thought for a moment "If Lord Zi finds out about Ikari being sealed in his daughter…. Would he even like it?"

"He knows." Valeriea says. "Ikari will grant Vivi stronger powers, and he wants her to be as strong as possible. He is well aware that our child will be used as a vessel but, he has express that if it brings her any harm, he will have her removed." She crossed her arms. "I would have left her with you as well but…that would be a little too dangerous." She sighs and breaths softly. "Lady Phoenix. You will forever have me as a loyal student and friend…I wish there was something I could do for all the trouble I may have caused you. Unlike Grace…you were the one who taught me how to truly use my magic and I cannot thank you enough for that…" Phoenix smiled gently at her making Xavier's eyes widen, Phoenix stood up and stepped over to Valeriea leaning over hugging her "I'm happy to hear you say this Val"

Valeriea hugged her back and then they let go. "Now, with much regret, I must leave. I hope that one day we will see each other again. Please stay safe."

At Ross's and Kaci, Ross was sitting in the living room watching tv with Hannibal. Kaci was in the kitchen making lunch, Kalena was napping on Ross's lap and Azaya was upstairs. Ross yawns. "I need to find something to do one of these days…" Suddenly a portal opened making him jump slightly. He frowned as he watches Marik walk through. Hannibal smiled. "Uncle!" Kalena woke up rubbing sleep out of her eyes. "Brother…why are you here now?" Marik smiles. "I came to introduce you to your niece." Ross eyes widen. "What!?" He yelled making the kids jump. Kaci's eyes widen "What…?"

Marik chuckled. "Come now. I am a man to. I have needs." Ross jumps up and looks at the bundle in his hands. "Her name is Vivi." "Vivi…She cute. Who's the mom?" "No one that will concern you for now." Ross pouted. "Can I hold her?" "You are her uncle so of course. I plan to go by Marie as well as well as mother." Ross took Vivi and smiled at her. She was looking up at him blinking. "Is she trying to figure out who I am. Adorable…Hey Vivi, I'm your uncle." He grabs her tiny hand. He felt her squeeze it making him blink. "Wow…nice grip. She really is a demon." Marik chuckled. "That she is." Suddenly Marik was being hugged by Azaya "uncle!" He smiled hugging her back. "Hello my darling niece." Azaya chuckles pulling back and her eyes widen at Vivi in Ross's arm "who.. is this cutie?" she smiled brightly. "This is my newborn daughter. Her name is Vivi." Marik smiles. "I hope that you will treat her with kindness and love." Azaya giggled "She's so cute..!" Vivi stares at Azaya before looking back at Ross.

Azaya gasps "I have something for you! I'll be right back!" she ran off. Kaci chuckles sitting down "She was waiting for you to stop over to give it to you" "Well when she gets off of punishment, she is welcome to come visit me anything. Right brother." Ross sighs. "Still thinking about it." "So stubborn." Marik says chuckling.

Azaya came back with two paintings "For you uncle!" she showed him two paintings, Marik right away they looked lava in two different ways and color. He smiled. "What a lovely gift."

Azaya smiled "Here, this is for you! Made it in Pottery class" she handed him a Lava themed base "It took me a month to get it right, I got an A++ for it" Marik laughs and snaps his fingers. A portal opened behind him, and Rave walked out with a blank look in his eyes. "Flea. Take these gifts home and put them in my room." Rave was silent as he took the items. Azaya frowns at him "Rave…" he stopped and looked at her but Marik narrowed darkly making him turn looking away form her.

Ross shakes his head. "How long you plan to play with him?" "Well, he is has been doing so good behaving…I figured a quick death is what he will get. A nice toss in the fire of torments will do nicely. Though he may not scream since I did break him and all…" Rave kept his head down. "Oh, and I just wanted to let you know Beel…" Ross looked at him "What's up?" "Kalena wishes to see you soon." Ross raised his eyebrow and looked back at Kalena who was yawning. "Um…"

Marik chuckled. "Not yours and Kaci's….Yours and Paxton…" Ross eyes widen. "What? Are you serious!?" Marik nods. "It seems in a twist ironic fate, Lilith kept her soul hidden away from father. I have it now and she wants to see you and Paxton. Of course, I wont force you to do that if you aren't ready for it." He glances at Kaci. "I'd hate to shake up those feelings you buried." Ross sighs and looks at Kalena. "Sleep daddy…" She says rubbing her eyes. "We can talk about this later…not here…not now…" Azaya frowned looking at Kaci who was looking down with a sad look.

"Very well." Ross put Vivi back into Marik's arms. "Just…give me so time to think. Does Pax know?" "No, but I plan to tell him since I have made him the Godfather of Vivi." "I see…let me know what his answer is." "Of course Beel." He looked at Rave who was still standing there. "Come now Flea. I have other stops to make. Goodbye my darling niece. I hope to see you down in hell soon." Rave nods as he followed Marik into the portal. Ross bit his lip and ran his fingers through his hair. 'Mine and Pax's Kalena…' he then looked at Kaci who stood up fast and left the room quickly upset.

Azaya frowned "uhm I'll take Hannibal upstairs for his bath come on little brother" Hannibal nodded rushing over to Azaya who picked him up and walked off to him. Ross can hear Kaci in the kitchen angerly washing the dishes.

He did a deep sigh. 'Shit…did you do this on purpose stupid brother…' Kalena blinks at him. "Daddy?" She says softly. He smiled and placed a hand on her head. He rubbed it gently making her yawn. Soon she was fast asleep. He pats the floor and a portal opened. Rhys walked out and stretched. "Watch her for me." Rhys nods sitting on the floor next to her.

Ross got up and head to the kitchen. "Kaci…why are you angry…" He asked leaning on the wall. Kaci with a glass cup in his squeezed cracking it "Oh me mad? Oh no I'm not at all hun" Kaci bites his lip then starts to tearing "why…. Why know….? I just don't understand" Ross frowned. "I've been granted an opportunity to see my first daughter. A face I couldn't even see because she was lost to me. If you were in my shoes, and you lost Azaya wouldn't you want her back…to see her again…" Kaci sniffs "I'm sorry… I didn't mean it like that… it's just.."

Ross sighs. "I've told you in the past about what me and Paxton went through. What Lilith did to us. Why we are no longer together despite our feelings. I believe wholeheartedly we are owed this…so I'm going to see my brother and I'm going to see my daughter. If you are upset or mad at me for then, then so be it…I'm sorry if my brother brought this up in front of you…" He turns around and got to the living room. Picking up Kalena he headed up to the room to call Paxton. Kaci bites his lip, he dries his hands and followed Ross. Ross had sat down on the bed with Kalena sitting down next to him. Kaci right went up to him knelling down making Ross look at him, Kaci put his hand on Ross's lap "I'm sorry please forgive me… I know this is important for you and I understand… I just got slightly upset… I didn't mean it like that really…. I'm happy for you and Paxton get to see your daughter for the first time since that woman took her from you and Paxton… please don't leave me…." Ross sighs petting his head "I'm not gonna leave you Kaci" Kaci sniffed "I'm sorry Ross…" "It's fine. I wish you would stop thinking I would leave you all the time. I didn't mind it the first couple of times. I thought it was cute but now this just hurts…there isn't anyone else I'd rather be with other then you okay." Kaci sniffed tearing on Ross's lap "I haven't even though that for years…"

Ross's phone start to ring. He grabs it out his pocket and saw it was Paxton. 'Doesn't want to risk calling over the beads. "I need to take this. It is Pax. He's probably freaking out. Kalena go with your mom." She pouted, upset that she was woken from her nap. "Go on. You can finish your nap okay." "I want daddy…" She says softly. "How about this…if you go with your mom now, I'll come take a nap with you." Her eyes lit up slightly. "Really?" Ross nods. "Of course princess." Kalena giggles softly. "Okay…I go with mommy…" Kaci picked her up and heads to the door. He turns around to see Ross answers.

Ross put a hand over his face, but Kaci could see the smile and a tear drop down from his cheek as he starts to speak to Paxton. He sighs mentally closing the door behind him.

Kaci reaching Kalena's bedroom, Kaci walked in and stepped to Kalena's bed. Placing her down, Kaci knelled and tucked her in. He smiled "mommy will stay with you until daddy comes here" Kalena nodded. Kaci smiled down at her and kissed her forehead "even though Ross cared you, he should be the mommy and me be the daddy" Kaci chuckles. She frowns and shakes head. "No…you mommy…daddy is daddy…" She says softly before falling back to sleep.

At the castle, Oichi was finishing up her war council and the fight to Switzerland was getting prepared. She was heading to her room with Orochi but was stopped by the triplets. "Boys?" The frowned. "We want to come with you." They said together. "Come with me where?" Oichi asked. "To the battle!" Jayden yells. "We want to fight with you this time!" Ayden says. "Please mom! Let us come!" "No." Oichi says crossing her arms. "But…" "I said no. I will not allow my children to go into a war." "Dad would have agreed to let us go." Jayden says. Oichi's eyes narrowed. "Your father isn't here!" She says snapping at them suddenly. "Don't you DARE bring his name into this! I said NO and that's what I meant!" She yelled.

The boys eyes widen at her outburst. Orochi grabbed her arm. "Beloved…deep breaths…" Oichi breaths out softly and then closes her eyes. She calmed back down not fully understand why she got so angry. The triplets looked upset but they still had a determined look in their eyes. "Fine…you three can join me in battle…you are at that age where I can't shield you from to much and you eat had your own little taste of fighting…" The boys smiled. "Really?" They said together. "Yes, you can join me if…you can get back up from a slap." "A…slap?" They blinked. Oichi walked up to them and raised her hand. In a quick second all three boys were smacked hard through the wall. Orochi sighs. "Are you sure about this?" Oichi crossed her arms. "I've been holding back for years…of course I wont do it to where it kills them, only to knock them out." They waited for a bit. "Guess that's it…" They start to walk until they heard groaning. They turned around to the boys peeling themselves out of the walls. The struggled for a bit but they got back on their feet with swollen jaws. Oichi sighs. "Are you three awake?" "I am…" Ayden says. "Same here…" Jayden says. "Me to…" Kaleb says. "Very well. Go to your uncle Mikey and get fitted for your military outfits. Meet me out in the court yard. The battle will happen within a week and I need to see how much I need to train you back into shape." She turns around and walks off. Orochi chuckled at the boys. "Wars are not a pretty site boys. I hope you realized that." He turns off to follow Oichi.

Once they were gone, the triplets fell to the floor from dizziness. "Sheesh…it was like she was trying to kill us…" Ayden says. "Yeah, but at least we get to go with her this time." Jayden says. "We should head to Uncle Mikey's lab…whenever my legs decided to work again." "Agreed." Ayden and Jayden says together as they laid on the floor.

At Seth's manor, Seth was still in bed. Grayson was taken by Terra not to long ago, the room was dark but a lamp near his bed dimed enough so he can read. Seth looked over form his to see Zach had fallen asleep on the chair, watching Zach in his sleep. Zach's chest slowly was moving up and down, the dimness of the lamp shimmered against Zach's skin.

Seth sighs. 'Unbelievable…' He flipped over his blanket and left his room without a sound. Walking down the hall and up the stairs, he entered the library. He closed the door behind him and went to sit down on the couch. He rubbed his face with a sigh. That was until he felt a tug at his shirt. He sat up quickly only to be thrown over the couch.

He rubbed his head and looked up to see Sirius with a dark look in his eyes. "You think having that fool near you will save you from my wrath? Think again." He chuckled as various things in the room started to float around. Chairs, the desk, books, lamps any and everything that wasn't bolted down to the floor. The items hit Seth over and over even when he strikes back to defend himself, they kept coming. Sirius smirked as he was pushed back to the window.

With the loud ruckus going on, it caught the attention of some maids. That tried to open the door but it was seal tight. They heard Seth grunt out as he tried to defend himself. The maids assumed he was under attack and went to get Thalia and Oberon.

In Seth's room one of the maids rushed by and stopped to see Zach sleeping. She frowned at this. 'How can he be sleeping when Lord Seth is in trouble!' She bit lip but calms herself. "King Zach! Please wake up!" She shouted. Zach's eyes widen and bolted up fast "What?!"

"Our Lord Seth is trapped in the library! He is under attack and we can't get the door opened! Please hurry and help him!" She shouted in panicked. Zach's eyes widen and rushed passed her in such speed "SETH!"

In the library, One of the bookcases were lifted and thrown at Seth. He moved out the way. As it crashed through the window. He breaths out slightly until Sirius appeared behind him. He lifted his hands and rose everything off the floor. Shaking the entire manor. Seth's eyes widen at this. At the door, it was now being banged on by the guards. "No one can save you from me. No One!" Sirius yells as he threw everything on top of Seth. He did it with such force that the weight broke though the floor and sent Seth and the objects crashing into the floor below and all the way down into the caverns underground.

The doors were then suddenly blown off. Oberon walked in with a frown. His eyes widen in anger to see Sirius. "You…You rat bastard. What have you done!?" "Ho?" Sirius says floating in the air. "I'm just having my fun with my grandson, that is all." He points to the large hole in the floor. "He should be down in the Caverns hopefully bleeding to death." Oberon glares at him. "You sick and twisted son of a…." "If he would have just died along with you, then we wouldn't be in this mess. Thalia doesn't belong with you and that piece of trash you call a son will fill my entire wrath and then once I'm done with him, you will be next."

Then Zach appeared in the room with his eyes glowing, Zach's eyes widen to see Seth and darken at Sirius "you… how dare you touch him" "Hmf…How dare you even glaze in my direction. Worthless King." Sirius says folding his arms. Zach reaching behind him taking out a stone, Sirius eyes widen has the blood red stone glowed "The was given to me by my mother who got it from lady Selena, your still a vampire even has a spirit.. you have no choose to obey her, my mother found out what really happen to Seth" Oberon and Thaila's eyes widen "How did she know…?" Zach breathes softly "Dracula told Selena and Selena told mother…. You forgetting Lady Thalia that my mother and Lady Selena always have tea together Thursdays, Know then Sirius you are no longer welcome here and stay away from MY SETH!" the stone pulsed pushing back Sirius making scream "BEGONE!" Zach shouted at the stone shined even brighter banishing Sirius.

Oberon frowns and then sighs. He rushed to the hole that was made and jumped down. He landed into the caverns and saw Seth was just pulling himself from under the rumble. His head was bleeding badly. "Seth." He grabbed him and help him stand on his feet. "Hold on to me okay." Seth simply nodded, with a dizzy look. Oberon jumped right back up the hole and hopped right out. Zach smiled and was about to rush over to him, when Thalia suddenly grabbed his arm stopping him. He blinks at her until he saw Terra rushing in. "Seth!" She went to his side. "Take him to the medical room." Oberon days. Terra put Seth's arm over her shoulder. "I got you honey." She helps to the door way.

She stops and smiles at Zach. "Thank you for your help King Zach…" She then drops her head. "…thank you…but Seth is my husband…I see the way you look at him...he isn't yours…its already painful enough to see him smile for someone else...please…don't come between our marriage because you couldn't keep a hold on yours..." She sniffed as she tears and walked away with Seth. Thalia frowned. "Terra dear. Please wait…" Terra didn't respond and kept walking away with Seth. Thalia sighs shaking her head and rushes after Terra. Zach frowns 'fuck I crewed up…. I'll leave…' Zach leaves the manor quickly not looking back.

Outside the manor, Sirius sighs. "Still alive. What a pity." He smirked. "There is always another way to hurt him. Those grandchildren of his is really important to him." A dark smile appears on his face. He was about to head to Oichi's castle when a scythe came down in front of him. "I think you caused enough damage for the day." Sirius frowns looking at Samuel. "Reaper…" "Sorry, but your soul is the very one I cannot allow to let go." He held up his hand turning Sirius into a black crystal. Samuel sighs. "I was unable to collect Hannibal but he won't cause as much issues as you would…" He disappeared into the sky.

Inside, Vega came rushing in with a pale look on his face. Oberon was heading to the medical room when he saw him. "L-Lord Oberon! We have an emergency!" "What is it?" "The family gravesite! It's been broken into! The former King Sirius body has gone missing!" Oberon eyes widen and the hate in his eyes grew. The floor, walls, and ceiling cracked from just his anger alone. "What did you say!?" Vega dropped down to one of his knees. "My apologies sir! When I got there the guards were dead! Their bodies cold and empty like their soul had been snatched out. Please you must come with me or King Seth…" "Seth isn't in any condition to do anything right now. Take me to the family island now." Vega nods. "Of course sir…" Vega says almost disappointed. 'I wish Seth would come…I'll have to check on him when I get back.'

A week went by, after the attack by Sirius, Seth was stuck at home under watch by his mother and Terra. By request, Seth had ask for Zach to not visit him for a while, at least until he was able to move around better.

At the castle, Oichi was sitting on her throne in her military outfit. On her left was Dargrath, on the right was Orochi. In front of her knelling were the triplets, wearing a military uniform. Jayden had a sword on his hip, Ayden had gauntlets, and Kaleb had a bow. Mikey had finish with a cybernetic eye for Jayden and now both of his eyes were purple. Behind them were the Malthon dragon clan, Paxton, Rinko, Jun, Yain, Bracken, and the leaders of her councilmen.

The quads were with Lulu and Kalmin, and the twins were with Jess who would not be joining the battle. Oichi needed someone to watch out for Xacron incase it took them awhile in this war. She did not want a repeat of what happened in their last battle. Seth and his family were also out due to their own war against the Vermont's. She didn't ask for any reinforcements from Marik but those in her rank decided to join her. That included, Clark, Tozrith, Aliyah, and a few others.

Oichi had her eyes closed. She then opened them. "It is time…today we will go against Valeriea who tends to take over Switzerland. I cannot promise that all of us will come out unscathed, but our top priority is to move as many people we can to safety in case we fail. Paxton, your angel guards will be on rescue duty along with Aliyah and Clark. Their demon portals will be useful cleaning places out. As for everyone else, we attack Valeriea head on, push through her forces, and capture her, while stopping those bombs from going off." "What if we can't stop those bombs." Kaleb asked.

"Then Rinko, Orochi, and Dargrath will absorb as much dark energy from them, that would be enough for Terrance and his family to fly off with them and launch them away from that place. We don't know how powerful those bombs truly are so we have to make sure that we take her out before it blows." Kaleb nods. Oichi stood up. "The time as come…today we end this war on that dark witch."

Over at Jess's, she was watching Emma and Jasper. Rick was currently home has he closed his tattoo shop for awhile, Chida was out somewhere which made Rick upset. Ebony, Aerith and Klaus where home visiting for a few days then will leave. Harley and Draco where running around the living room playing, Rick in their with them was watching them holding Elvira who was shaking her toy with glee.

Jess walked in the room with Emma and Jasper both in her arms, she sat the down in the playpen for them to play with some toys that Oichi had given to Jess. Jess sat down near them with a smile "Emma is gonan look identical to Grace" Rick nodded and sighed "I wish Ava was here…" Jess chuckles "aww you miss your goddaughter?" Rick nodded "and Kalmin… he's been helping me out at the shop since Chida quite…." Jess narrowed at him "well maybe if you would stop being a controlling prick then he wouldn't have quite" Rick's eyes widen and gasped "I'm not a" Jess narrowed at him again "Say, I dare you say it and we wil see what happens" Rick gulped and looked away. Harley and Draco pointed at him laughing "Daddy afraid of mom!" Draco shouted and laughing, Rick pouted with a growl has Jess giggling at them.

In Switzerland, Valeriea stood in front of her magic bombs wearing a slashed black dress with a hood and no shoes. Under the bombs. Crissy and the rest of her witches were standing in a circle. Valeriea walked over to them and stood in the middle. "This is it…for those who have been loyal to me, you will lean me your power and your life to make this goal of mine come true. Crissy breathes in softly. "Val…we will do anything for you…you know this. If I have to die a second time, then so be it." Valeriea looks at her with a soft expression. "Thank you…I will remember everything you have done for me. Now…let us begin." The witches put their hands together and started to chant. Dark energy flowed through them and went into Valeriea. She sighs as she holds her hands up chanting a different language from them. The magic bombs started to glow. The skies started to turn black with black and purple lighting. At her manor, the dark knights that were placed in there burst out and started to march to their creator. Valeriea eyes glowed. "Now little pup…let's see if I get lucky and kill you instead…"

The magic bombs started to lift in the air, from the amount of magic pouring out, it started to destroy the forest around them. Valeriea chuckled, holding out her hands. "This…This will be one of my final marks in this world! I Valeriea have completed my goal in destroying humanity, I've claimed revenge on the family name that caused my dears sisters to die, and I have unleashed true madness on this world!" A dark smile came to her face as she suddenly laughed. "Finally! After so long! I claim my victory! Nothing will ruin this moment. Come Oichi. Come and let's settle the final score. We will see who will die today!"

Zach at his home was in his office wearing a men's shuffles yoga pants and black v-neck shirt and he was barefooted. He deeply sighed has he has finished all his paperwork for Grivida and everything was in order. Dracula had made it clear to him that he needs to do his king duties while Clover and Draven will join Oberon killing Vermont scum.

Zach banged his hand on the table with a sigh, he can't stop thinking on what happen a week ago… it plagued his thoughts. 'my Seth, my Seth, my Seth' his words echo through his mind. Biting his lip he banged his hand on the table cracking it tossed everything off his table in a rage "I'm an idiot! A fool!" his shouted tossing his desk upside down the lamp broke leaving the room dark for only the stormy sky, rain hit the windows, thunder cracking through the sky. Turning to windows he stepped to them and sat down on the padded window seal. Tears went down his face, his finished work laid all over from his fit. Leaning against the window "Seth…." Then he jumped feeling a hand on his shoulder looking over he sees his mother and Ronnie who was holding Alaric, Ronnie frowned looking around the room "Zach… what happen here?" Deliora frowns looking at her son "Zach…" Zach broken down right before them "Mom….. I can't take it anymore… I can't… it hurts… I love him… and it hurts" Ronnie's eyes widen at Zach, he's never seen Zach broken down like this before. Deliora knelled down hugging him "shhh it's alright my son, it will be alright…" 'Hannibal hurry up and wake up, our son needs you' in east wing, in Hannibal's room where he laid asleep, his right hadn't witched but didn't not stir.

In the courtyard, Mikey was standing with Star, Rex, and Zane at the teleportation device. Oichi was standing in front of it with the triplets behind her. She turned to her boys. "…Please be careful out there…your father may have been prepared for this moment but I still see you as my babies…" The triplets blushed but shook their head. "Mother!" They said together, making her blink. "We will do our best to not stain our father's or your name! We will bring glory in this battle!" For a moment Oichi could see Sakamoto in all three of her boys. She smiled at them. "I see…then make your father proud. Let him see how far you have come." They nodded at her as the device powered up. "Lady Oichi, please be careful." Star says. Mikey nods. "We have back up here if you need it. Rex will keep an eye out for power scaling. We will see if we can do anything from our side to make sure those bombs don't go off." Zane nods. Oichi nods back as she walked through with her forces. When they were all gone, Star headed back to lab to keep an eye on things. A few Niko bots went through so that they could watch the war.

At Ross's and Kaci, he was underground where he built a lava healing bath with Kalena as well as Leia who he had just kidnapped from the castle. He did not tell Oichi yet, but he had noticed that Leia could take strong amounts of heat. Of course, she couldn't touch the lava, but the heat did not affect her like it did her sisters.

Kalena was smiling as she held hands with Leia. She was incredibly happy when Leia came to play. On top of her head Wayne, Leia's little pet monkey, was dancing making the girls giggle. "Monkey fun." Kalena says pointing to Wayne. "He cute." Leia says making them giggle more. "Play tag?" Leia asked. Kalena nods. "I it!" They started to run after each other giggling and laughing. Ross smiles softly at this. 'I wonder if me and Paxton's Kalena would have been this cute…' He sighs and opens up a mirror portal. He was asked not to join in the war by Marik. He was going to watch from the mirror. Despite what his brother said if he saw that he needed to join he was going to join in. Something just felt off with this whole battle.

At Phoenix's Xavier was in the room watching the start of the war on a large crystal mirror. He sighs wishing he could be in it. He heard footsteps running to him. He chuckled when Walter's head pops up. "Me see daddy!?" He says wagging his tail. Xavier picked him up and sat him on his lap. "You want to watch the battle to? Very well. When you become of age your own training will start. It's best to get you custom to things like this." Walther cuddles up to Xavier and watches the mirror. Peaking in outside the door, Zarisa was staring at the mirror. She felt drawn to it.

Aubrie came running in "Daddy! Daddy!" Xavier chuckles "yes my princess" Aubrie grinned "Lookie!" the maid ran back in panting with food all over her "please little princess Aubrie… don't run like that and please don't magically throw food at me…" Aubrie laughed "funny!" Xavier chuckles "Please go clean yourself up" Maid frowned "But lord Xavier…." She then helped has Phoenix grabbed the back of her head "go clean up know" the maid frowned and bowed "Of course my lady" she walked off. Aubrie laughed, Phoenix crossed her arms "Young lady" Aubrie stopped and looked down "me sorry mama…" Phoenix smiled down at her "go sit with your daddy" Aubrie smiled and skipped over to Xavier. Phoenix looked over Zarisa "Zara would you like to join us sweetie?" Zarisa looked down but nodded as she walked over to them.

In hell, Marik was in his room holding Vivi who was sleeping in his arms. He to was watching the battle. Nia, Zahrab, and Hanson were sitting beside him. "Are you sure it was a good idea to not send Ross?" Nia asked picking up Ember who crawled over to her. Hanson was sitting on Zahrab lap blinking at the screen. "Yes, He isn't need for this battle." "Who do you think will win this time?" Zahrab asked. "I can't help but to feel a little…off about this." Marik chuckled. "It will be interesting to see what happens. I didn't send Ross because of his own life would be put in danger. I know that he would try to see the wolf queen at the cost of his life, but I can't allow that." Nia frowns. "Lu's curse…" They looked at her. "It's just a deal he made with Orochi…if he died just one time he will return to hell when he is reborn and will remain locked and sealed…" Marik smiles. "Yes, I noticed that. It is a shame but not even I can erase that. Should he die then maybe I'll offer him a chance to at least watch his children grow but that may become painful…who knows…we will have to see if he does indeed die."

In Switzerland, Oichi and her forces were standing outside the forest, Valeriea was hiding in. Damien walked up beside Oichi and growled at the trees. Oichi narrowed her eyes as she removed her aura sword. Her forces behind her got on guard. The ground started to tremble, and they could sense a lot of black magic pouring out. "Here they come…" Oichi says. "Remember that they were once people, but we cannot save them all." She says as the trees shook in a violent rage. The boys got ready along with everyone else. Paxton and his angel and demon guards took flight.

Just seconds later, Valeriea's force of dark knights ran out, trampling the trees and grass. Oichi hops on Damien and held up her sword. The dark knights ran full force to them, some taking flight in the sky. Oichi's sighs out. "Attack!" She yelled. With the triplets leading the charge, her forces ran straight for the dark knights. Ayden smiles as he got his hands ready. Jayden had his sword drawn while Kaleb got his arrows ready. "Today we make a mark brother! We get pay for everything that witch did to us and our families!" Ayden says as his eyes turned into his hybrid ones. His bothers nodded following him. Oichi watched and looked up. "Saki…your boys have entered the battlefield…please keep watch over them…" She looked back down just in time to see her forces and the dark knights clash and so begin the battle.

On the battlefield, Ayden jumped up and with his bare fist punched a dark knight into the ground creating a large crater. Jayden ran ahead slicing down any beast that came his way. His cybernetic eye was able to help him maneuver his movement. Kaleb was with Tozrith. Tozrith called fourth his familiar which was a huge salamander. It ate the dark knights, devouring them hole. Kaleb was on top of it using explosive arrows that Mikey gave him. With his eyesight he was watching his bothers back from afar. He noticed a beast rushing Ayden from behind. He pulled his bow upwards and fired an arrow into the sky. The arrow then came down and hit the beast right in the head killing it. Ayden turns around and waves as he went to power through the knights.

Paxton and his guards were fighting in the air. He had already sent a squad out to help evacuate people. Bracken and Yain fought side by side as Bracken melted some with his poison magic and Yain crushed some with his skull. Rinko chuckled as he and Jun let loose with their fox fire. Terrance, Terry, and Anna were with the group to help evacuate people. That left Vernon and Rue who were enjoying themselves as they strike down any being that got in their way.

Oichi was riding on the back of Damien and cutting knights down left and right. Damien grabbed one by his teeth and chopped it in half. On her right Orochi was riding his serpent cleaning out a path in front of her. On her left. Dargrath in his demon form was melting the creatures by touch. He was running just as fast to keep up with them. Using his demon claws he easy killed those who came near Oichi. She then jumps of Damien. "Stay with the boys." She says. Damien nods his head and runs back into the fight. Dark knights charged at Oichi, but she quickly cut their heads off. "I'm not in the mood to deal with you. I want the witch." He eyes glowed blue as she cut down a path to the forest.

Orochi and Dargrath followed behind her. "Rue! Follow Queen Oichi!" Vernon says. I will keep the creatures focus on us." Rue nods and spreads his dragon wings. He flew after Oichi. Vernon turns into his dragon form. "Come maggots! You face me now!" He blew out black flames cutting off the path back into the forest.

In the forest, Oichi ran through the forest. Her chest started to burn feeling such dark power. "Valeriea…you will meet your end here today." They soon came to stop when they saw the destruction of the forest. "What the hell…" Oichi says. "It's from the amount of black magic." Dargrath says. "Will you be, okay?" She asked. "I will be fine. I do not falter to this. I swore my loyalty to you and that is how it will stay." Oichi nods and turns to Orochi. "Don't bother asking me. I do not need this to fed off of. That's what I have you for." Oichi blushed and pouted slightly. "Oh, shush you." They walked through the forest until they heard chanting.

Oichi narrowed her eyes as she walked closer to the sound. There they saw a circle of witch chanting. They then started to drop suddenly. "What the…" "Oichi look up." Orochi says. Oichi looks up to see Valeriea floating in midair. "They are giving their magic and lives to give her power…" Dargrath says. Oichi looked at the floating magic bombs. "We need to stop this now." She walked out showing herself. "Valeriea!" She yelled holding her sword out. Valeriea looked down and smirks. "So, you came Oichi, and you brought your demon lover. How sad." Orochi narrowed his eyes. "Do you really plan to destroy this place." "I do." "Why…you completed your goal didn't you. You dammed Humanity, taking their ability to breed…you destroy Jento and crushed Fredrick and his family…you even unleased Ikari…what more could you want!?" Orochi says.

Valeriea chuckled. "Why would I spill my plans to you. In a matter of moments, you all will be dead!" She raised her hands and black spikes came from the ground at a fast pace. They moved out the way. Oichi eyes turned blue. "Damn you!" She ran up to her. Valeriea summoned her golems, it blocked Oichi way until a larger serpent came from underground, dragging the golem away. More came and started to come to Oichi. Dragrath stood in front of her. "I will take care of this. You go after the witch." Oichi nods and runs around as Dragrath started to take on the golems alone.

All the witches, except for Crissy had fallen. Valeriea chuckled. "Crissy takes over for me. The bombs aren't ready, so I want to have fun with the wolf pup." "Of course, Val." Crissy says swapping places with her. Valeriea chuckled forming black magic in her hands. She ran to Oichi and they clashed. Oichi was a bit shocked as she was pushed back. Valeriea smirked walking to her. "Do not back down little pup. You think in my years I know nothing but magic? No, no, no…I am quite skilled in other techniques including handed to hand combat!" She rushed Oichi against. Oichi aura claws formed over her hands and her sword. She and Valeriea clashed blow to blow.

Deliora had put Zach to bed has he fell sleep during his break down, walking out of his room. Ronnie leaned against the wall with Alaric who fell sleep against his shoulder "So what are you gonna do know?" Deliora looks at him and smiled "lets go pay Seth and his family a visit, I know I might not be able to see him but I do miss having tea with Thaila besides Alaric misses Grayson" Alaric's eyes popped half tired "Gray…?" Deliora chuckles "yes Alaric, Gray" Alaric giggled "Gray!" Ronnie sighs "I guess it wouldn't hurt…." Deliora chuckles at him

In Switzerland the battle went on, On the main battlefield, the creatures were getting cleared out. Those who were injured were being taken back through the portal and fresh soldiers were sent out to take their place. Jayden jumps up and lands on one, stabbing it with his sword. He then let out a loud high pitch cry that blew the heads off of other ones. Ayden was beating down a beast before he grabbed it and placed it in a submissive move, snapping its neck. He chuckled and got up, grabbing the body and tossing it aside. He crackled his knuckles. "Next." Kaleb sighed looking at his brothers. "They are just going all out. Typical." A beast grabbed his shoulder. Kaleb took a arrow, spins it through his fingers, and stabs the beast in his eye making it scream out. Using his claws, he then cut the head clean off. Tozrith jumps behind him. "You okay babe?" "Yup, just peachy." He says whipping his hand off.

The battle went on, in the forest, Orochi and Dargrath were still dealing with the golems. Every time they would defeat on, another pops up. Oichi and Valeriea had moved away and were still fighting. Valeriea grew black vines, but Oichi cut them down. "That wont work on me!" She ran up to her and stabbed Valeriea in the chest. She smirked. "And that won't work on me!" She raised her hand and shattered Oichi's sword.

Oichi jumps back with a frown as she watched Valeriea pull the sword out of her chest and threw it away. Oichi held up her fist as he second form appeared. Valeriea looked up and saw the crystals flashing. It was time. She smirked. "If you knew about my plans a little earlier then maybe you could have prevented this, but as always you are one step behind. Once I destroy this place, the reaper will have no choice but to show up." Oichi eyes widen. "What do you want with the reaper?" Valeriea smirked darkling and rushed off to the crystal. Oichi was about to run after her with a blade went through her leg. She screamed, falling. Orochi turned to her and looked to see Balthus standing over Oichi. He pulled out the sword that was black and chuckled.

Oichi glared at him feeling her powers slip away. She turned around and kicked him in the gut. He coughs out. Looking up he saw Oichi coming at him at full speed. Clenching her fist she punched him hard in the face forcing his body to spin and fly though a few trees. Oichi breathes out. "Dumbass…you think cutting my powers from me will stop me?" She turned back to see Valeriea already back into her spot. Crissy was panting weakly. "Val…it's…done…" She says passing out. Oichi eyes widen as Valeriea started to laugh. "No!" Oichi yelled. "Yes!" Valeriea chant something and clapped her hands together. The crystals started to shine and crack. Dargrath frowned. "We have to go now! She activated the bombs!" Orochi glared and snapped his finger. A serpent came and swallowed Crissy whole and disappeared underground. Orochi ran over to Oichi and went to open a portal. "Oh no…you wont need those." Valeriea says sealing off all demon portals. "What!? How did she…" Orochi bit his lip. "We have no time! We must run! Order a retreat!"

He picked up Oichi and they ran off as the crystals started to glow brighter. Valeriea's laugh echo through the forest. Running they saw Rue fighting off more golems. "Rue! No time! Retreat!" Oichi yelled. "What!?" "Sound the retreat!"

Rue frowned and grew to his dragon size, he flew off and headed to the main battle field. Once he flew over it, he could see the battle was just about done. "RETREAT!" He yelled out in his dragon form. They all looked up. "The bombs are active! On the others of Queen Oichi we are to retreat!" The triplets frowned. "What about mom!?" "We can't use portals." Tozrith says. "We need to go now." He says grabbing Kaleb. "Salamander!" He summons. His familiar appears and he and Kaleb hopes on. Jayden and Kaleb rode of Damien as everyone heard to Rex's portals. Jayden looked back just in time to see Orochi and Dargrath appear from the forest and running. "Mom!"

In the forest, Valeriea closes her eyes. "And now…it ends…" The crystals explode, creating a giant black electric light. Jayden eyes widen as the reach the portal. Even was in but Orochi and Dargrath were still running. Orochi carried Oichi turned to see the black light approaching them fast. "We aren't going to make it!" "Mom!" Jayden yelled running but he was grabbed by Ayden. "No Jay!" "Let me go! Mom is still out there!" Oichi bit her lip. "Rex pull Jayden back in and close the device." "Lady Oichi…" "Do it!" She commanded. "…U-Understood…" Rex says softly.

Rex appeared at the portal and grabbed Jayden. "What are you doing!" "On your mothers orders, I must close the device. If the blast reaches here then it will affect the city." "I don't care! Get your hands off of me!" Rex closed his eyes and started to pull him back. "Nooo! MOM! MOM!" He yelled as Rex pulled him in and closed the portal.

Knowing they couldn't outrun the blast. Dargrath and Orochi stopped running. Oichi was tearing. 'I'm sorry Jay…everyone…' Orochi looked down at her and sighs. He puts Oichi in Dargrath arms. "Orochi?" Oichi closes his eyes. "I'm sorry Oichi…but you have to survive…for the sake of our children." Oichi eyes widen. "What are you…" Oichi's eyes glowed red as his body started to rip and tear. Oichi's and Dargrath eyes widen as he transformed into a mini version of his 8 head serpents from. He wraps his body around Oichi and Dargrath. "What are you doing!?" Oichi yells pushing away from Dargrath. "Stop! Not even you can survive this blast! Orochi, do you hear me! Answer me!"

There was a strong shake and strong pulse of dark magic. It hit Dargrath and Oichi hard, knocking them out. Outside, Orochi's body held strong as the explosion ingulf him, the battlefield, the neighboring towns and soon Switzerland as a whole, covering in a dark light.

At Jess's, Jess frowned feeling something off. Biting her lip she got up placing Emma next to Aerith "Mom whats wrong?" Klaus and Ebony looked at her with a worried look. Jess bites her lip "I sense something off… I'm gonna head to the palace, stay here all of you" they nodded watching her leave. Jess ready to teleport away, Michael next to her I'll come with you" Jess looked at him and smiled "Alright" he picked her up bridal style making her gasp and blush, Rick bites his lip with a growl has Michael flew off out the window.

In the courtyard, Jayden punched Ayden in the face. "Why didn't you let me save her! She was out mom!" Ayden held his cheek. "She told us to retreat Jay…so we did…" "We left her to die!" He says as tears ran down his cheek. Kaleb walked up to them. "Jay…mom did what she had to do…" "She didn't have to die!" Jayden says. "We lost dad and now we lost mom! Why…why couldn't we just be a stupid normal family!" His brother's tears with him and hugged him. Mikey frowned while Zane punched the side of the wall. 'Dammit…how do I explain this to mom. Sis…why didn't you just let me go with you…' He tears up. Terry drops to the ground and sighs. "Oichi…" He put his hand over his face. Terrance grits his fist til it bled. The others had their head down as the feeling of despair started to wash over them.

Michael landed down putting down Jess, Jess frowned "What's going ON?!" she shouted as they all turned to her, she had panic in her eyes "Where's…. Oichi….?" Michael frowned looking at them "Jess… I think Oichi…" Jess's eyes widen "NO! she can't be!" "Rex…" Mikey says. Rex appeared sadly. "…No life detected at this time…" Jayden drops to his knees in tears. "Why did we leave her…we should have saved her!" His brothers dropped down with him crying as well. Paxton rubs his hands through his hair upset. Aliyah placed a hand on his shoulder. "We could rescue a lot of people…we couldn't save Oichi…what was the point in this…" He bit his lip. "That witch was still a step ahead of us…" Tears ran down Zane's face as Mikey looked away sadly.

Tears fell form Jess's eyes "No.. it can't be! She be gone!" Michael held her "Jess" Jess screamed "NO!"

Rex eyes suddenly flashed. "Alert! Four life sources have been detected one is very faint on the verge of death." Their eyes widen. "Open the gates once more!" Mikey says quickly. Rex nods and opens the transporter.

In the baren waste land, that was once known as Switzerland, Oichi opened her eyes. She rubbed her head. It was pitch dark. "Ow…" "Lady Oichi…" She looked over to see Dargrath. "What's going on…where are we?" "Orochi covered for us." Her eyes widen and sat up. "That's right!" She rushed to the side. "Orochi!? Orochi honey can you hear me!?" There was a shake and his serpent body started to shrink. As it did Oichi and Dargrath eyes widen in shock to see that there was nothing but dirt all around them. "No…No way…did she really…Dargrath see if…" "I am on it. My portals are working again." He opened his portal and dashed through it.

Orochi's body turned to normal. He stood there with a blank look. "Orochi!" Oichi smiles and rushes to him. That was until her heart sank. She watches as he fell. "Orochi!?" She rushed to his side and held him up. "Honey! Speak to me!" She says tearing. Orochi blinks and turns to her with a smile. "Your unharmed. That is good." "Yes, I'm fine thanks to you." She turned to see Rex opening the portal once more. "Just wait a moment. Help is coming, you are going to be fine." "No…I wont…" Orochi says. "You will! You can't die and even if you do you will come back right?"

Orochi bit his lip. "No…not this time…I'm sorry." Oichi frowns as tears ran uncontrollably down her cheeks. "What are you saying! Didn't you tell me we would be together forever! You can just leave me now! We…We finally have two children together! Please don't die! Don't leave me." Orochi reached up and grabbed her hand. Jayden and the others appeared through the portal. The smiled to see Oichi. "Mom!" They ran to her. Jess rushed over to Oichi "OICHI! Orochi!"

"Oichi. I want to let you know that you have made me so happy. You were the first to view me not as a monster. When you came to me in my dreams with that beautiful white dress. It was like a breath of fresh air." He smiles. "When I desired to have children…you put yourself in harms way to give them to me. Thank you." He squeezed her hand. "I'm sorry…" His breathing slows. "No…No…" Oichi says. "I love you." He says with a soft smile before closing his eyes. "Orochi! Open your eyes…open them!" She screamed. Jayden and the other stopped in shock to see this. "Is he…" Ayden frowned. "He protected mama…to the end…" Jess's eyes "Orochi…."

Oichi starts to cry as she held Orochi close to her. "I love you! So open your eyes please! I love you, stupid demon! Open your eyes!" She cried. She felt her heart quiver. A pain in her chest the same as she lost Sakamoto. "Orochi…don't leave me…" She cries more. Jess shook and felt anger and sadden "Michael… is he…" Michaels softly to Jess, Jess steps over and knells down "Oichi…"

Oichi couldn't stop cry as she held Orochi's body. She could still feel his warmth. Suddenly his body started to crack. She blinks as his body started to slowly turned to dust. "Nooo…." She says as she watched his face turned to dust along with his body. The dust then seeps down into the ground disappearing. "Wha…n-no! Come back! Come back!" She yelled as she started to scratch the dirt. The triplets rushed to her and hugged her. "He's gone mom!" Jayden says with tears. "Gone…" Oichi lets out a scream as it felt like her heart was shattered. Her tears came out uncontrollably as the triplets hugged her tightly. Jess rushed over lifting her hand has the magic twirled around her has some of the dust came back and object she began to magic from a piece of metal and blue crystal on the ground, it formed into a Blue crystal Heart Urn Necklace, she magically put it in the necklace. Gently grabbing she stepped over to them, the boys still holding her. Jess moved in and joined the hugged and put the necklace around Oichi's neck "he's not gone Oichi, she's still within your heart, your memories something that dark witch can never take away, hold on to thoughs memories Oichi"

Right outside of Switzerland, baren wasteland, Valeriea was looking at her work with a smirk. "Are you done?" She turns around to see Samuel floating behind her. He was not to please. His normal smiling face was not showing today. "You have done a very dark dead dark witch. Thanks to you the pool of souls will now flow into heaven and hell and the same time…so many innocent souls that were not supposed to die." His scythe appeared next to him. His eyes glowed darkly. "Are you ready for your punishment? I must admit…not even I thought you could pull something like this off. You have angered me." He held his scythe up.

Valeriea smirked and threw a dark cubed box at him. His eyes widen as the box opened and started to pull him in. "What is this!?" Valeriea chuckled. "A dimensional box I created with my daughters magic. It will hold you long enough for me to use you as I see fit." Samuel narrowed his eyes at her as his body was sucked into the box, sealing him inside. The box floated back down to her. "Now…to unlock that seal." She opened a magic portal and walked inside it.

At her former hideout she swings her hand and the sealed doors that were hidden under the lake appeared. She had moved it long ago. She walked up to it and pushed the doors opened. She walked down a long pathway that led down. Finally reaching the bottom she saw a beautiful statute of a woman lifting her hands to the ceiling. Wings were on her back. "Hmm…I was expecting the arch angel of death…but…you will have to do." She smirked and held up the cube. She floats up and places the cube on the chest of the statue. Samuel's reaper powers poured out and sinks into the statue. It took a few moments until the statue started to crack. An old ancient power started to appear. Valeriea chuckled as the statue was blown apart. The cube came back to her. Standing in place of the statue was now a beautiful woman with long silky black hair. Her eyes opened and they were dark red. She was wearing a tradition red and black kimono. Her wings flaps shooting up dust. Looking around she spotted Valeriea. "…You…dare disturb my slumber…" She says in a soft voice. "Yes, I need something from you and the reaper, and you will do what I say unless you wish to be sealed." The woman narrowed her eyes. "You think…your threats will shake me?" Her eyes glowed. "Death does not affect you. You are…immortal. Impossible." "Just like it is impossible to seal the reaper?" The woman frowned. "You…sealed the reaper…just who are you…"

"My name is Valeriea. No, I was not threating you. Threats to you do no good but your son on the other hand…" The woman frowns and floats down to her, shrinking herself to a human size. "My son…he is alive?" "Yes, very much so with his own family. All I need for you to do is to do something for me then you are free to do whatever you please."

"You…are a strange one…very well…if no harms come to my son, I will do what you ask for now. My name is Azraelle…Goddess of life, death, and rebirth…" Valeriea chuckled. "Perfect." Valeriea says with a smirk. She opened a magic portal. "Follow me." Azraelle nods and follows Valeriea inside. The portal closed behind her.

In the underground lava healing bath, Ross had shut off the mirror due to Leia and Kalena forcing him to play tag. He had just caught them both when his eyes widen and his gasp. He felt an ancient power rise inside him. "No way…m-mother…!?" Kalena blinks at him. "Daddy, okay?" Leia pats his face. "Uncle?" He smiled at them both. "Sorry, I spaced out. You two were just so darn cute I couldn't help it." They smiled and giggled. "Are you two hungry?" They nodded. "Great. Let's go make some snacks huh." He heads back upstairs with a frown. 'Mother…is that really you…'

Kaci was asleep on the couch with Hannibal laying on him also asleep. Ross came up with the girls to see Kaci and Hannibal asleep on the couch. He put the girls down and headed to the kitchen with them skipping behind him.

walking into the kitchen, Azaya was sitting at the island table with some glass that was glowing with a red like barrier and inside the cup itself was something made him blink at her, it was lava.

"What are you doing." He asked opening the fridge. Azaya looked up and a smiled "it turns out I can drink lava has an energy resource, it's weird really… it tastes like smoked cherry's, Obsidian says it tastes different to everyone" she felt a poke on her leg making her look down to see Kalena. Azaya smiled leaning picking her up holding her "You wanna try if you can drink some Lava?" Azaya asked with a smile dipping her finger in and pulled it out as lava stayed on her finger. Kalena stared at it, studying the drop. She reached up and poke the drop. It slipped to her finger. "Mmmm..." She puts her finger in her mouth and tasted it. "Mmhmm…" Ross chuckled pulling out some snacks he prep made before hand. He also had some cake pops from Sonya. Leia's eyes lit up as he handed her one. "Nom Nom!" She says with a giggle.

At Seth's manor, Deliora was sitting in a tearoom with Thalia enjoying some tea. Alaric was with Grayson in the playroom, Ronnie had walked off to see how Seth is doing. Deliora sipped her tea "So how is Seth?" "He is recovering nicely." Thalia says.

Deliora smiled "That's good he's doing better… I hope Ronnie going up there is alright…? Oh do you and Oberon know yet….?" Thalia blinked at her "about what?" Deliora raised her eyebrow "Mhmm I seems only Lord Dracula was shared with this… it seems when the veil was open my late husband paid Zach a visit…." "I see…there is a lot of visiting taking place this days…wanted and unwanted. I hope that the visit fair better then ours."

Deliora sighs softly "well he had a plan, show Zach a hidden potion room, use a rare magical item he has been hiding since his death, a phoenix feather" Thalia eyes widen at this. "With the help with Jess, they made a potion which rebirth his body.. so he currently at the manor asleep and hasn't woken up yet…."

"Interesting…" Thalia says skipping her tea. "before I came over…. I was at Zach's… I have never seen him such a state.. not since his father was killed by Clover….. he destroyed his office and broke down in front of me and Ronnie….." Deliora frowns "he really is deeply in love with Seth" Thalia sighs. "Even so…he must understand that Seth has to choose who wants to be with. There are already disturbing rumors floating about…" "Rumors?" Deliora asked.

"Oh yes…the vampire nation among others within the city are sold that Zach is trying to destroy Seth's marriage. The one I'm most worried about is the one I've heard from guards. They saw Zach kiss Seth…and of course those rumors are getting out of hand." Deliora gasps softly "really know?"

"While I do feel for Zach I am more concerned about Seth and Terra…he finally found a mate that he could move on with and even had a child. He's been through so much with losing his first wife, his daughter, and both of his grandchildren…I don't want him to have force himself to choose who he wants to be with just to make everyone happy because I know my son…if he cannot find a solution he will once more seal his heart off and neither Terra or Zach will be able to open it…" Thalia sighs more. "If only I were awake back then. I could have stopped my father for causing so much misery." Deliora breathes softly "If I knew what Clover was up too I would have stopped him from killing Hannibal…" she says sipping her tea "but Zach will respect whatever Seth chooses, he loves him that much to not force Seth do something he didn't want to do"

In Seth's room, He was sitting up in his bed with a bandage wrapped around his head. Ronnie was sitting beside him. "So…you and Zach…I knew you were close but…" Seth sighs deeply. "Stop. I'm married." "Mhm…but do you truly love Terra? Or did you do this to get everyone off your back?" "You think I'd use her as a scapegoat?" "No, but if you don't settle with your heart soon…you are going to hurt them both." Seth grips his fist. "What would you have me do!? If I leave Terra for Zach, she would be hurt. She gave up her position under you to be with me. She bore me a son…she's been a wonderful blessing in my life…I can't just up and leave her because Zach's feelings are unraveling…" He put his hand on his head. "But.. Zach is also suffering…had it not been for my grandfather then…but I cannot…no matter how much love I have in my heart for him I…I just can't…"

The door opened and Terra walked in with a folder in her hand. She had tears in her eyes and puffy face from crying. "Seth…Lord Ronnie…" She walked up to Seth and placed the folder on the bed. Seth grabs it and opens it. His eyes widen. "You…You want a divorce?" Terra frowned. "I do…" "Why?" "Because you don't truly love me..." "Terra I…" "Let me talk…" Terra says.

"I've had a week to think about this…we haven't been together very long but I knew that I could never fill the shoes of your late wife. I soon realized that she is not the one I had to compete with. It has been Zach all along. When you smile you don't smile at me, you smile past me. When you tell me that you love me, it sounds like you are not speaking to me. I don't dough that you do love me…but you love Zach more…and…and…" More tears ran down her cheek. "…and it's already painful to watch you two get so close right in front of me…I know that you both belong together but I also know you won't do anything to hurt me…so I will take the step for you."

Seth grips the folder. "No…you can't leave me like this." "I am sorry Seth but it is time for you to allow yourself be happy for once. I love you so much and I am happy that you choose me to be your wife. I am honored that I could give you a son…I will be taking Grayson with me and moving out. Please be happy with Zach." Seth bit his lip. "…Terra…" He gets up and stumbles. Ronnie helps him up. Seth pulls away from him and walks to Terra gripping her arms. "Do not do this…you will surely suffer…" "I know…" She says with a smile. She grabs his arm. "I love you my dearest. I love you so much that I can no longer see you suffer anymore. Will you please…sigh the papers?"

Seth closed his eyes clearly upset at this decision. He turned around and grabbed the papers. "Hand me pen…" Ronnie grabbed it off his dresser and handed it to him. Seth sigh the papers. Terra smiles sadly. "I wish you much happiness…Lord Seth…" "And what of yours…" Seth says. "…It won't be easy…but maybe…I'll learn to love again…good bye." She gave him a lasting kiss before she pulled away. She bows and walks off. Seth sits on the bed and puts his hands in his face. Ronnie rubs his back.

Jess was outside Oichi's room, Julian and Mikey were in there. The triplets were standing there. Jess looked down 'Oichi… I hope this won't get her…' Michael next to her rubbed her back "Jess everything is gonna alright" Jess looks up at him "I don't it will… this… might break her…." He cups her cheek making her lean into his touch. The boys looked over and slightly frowned, Jess was tearing and they can feel her worriedness for their mother.

Inside, Oichi was laying down still in tears. The necklace Jess made was around her neck and she was clenching it. Mikey rubbed her back while Julian struggled to calm her down.

Outside the door they heard high heels clacking on the floor. Jess, Michael, and the triplets turned to see Danni walking up with Lily behind her. "Grandma? Great granny?" Jayden says. Lily smiles. "Word has spread…we came to see how Oichi was doing but if it's anything like when Saki past, I'm not sure her heart will be able to heal this time around." Jess frowns "I do hope this wont break her…."

Danni walks over and hugs the boys before she walks into the room. Lily gives them a sweet smile before walking in behind her. They closed the door behind them. Mikey looked up. "Danni…grandmother…" Julian frowned. "Lady Danni…Madam Lily…I'm sorry…I don't think I will be able to do anything for her right now." Danni smiles. "It's fine. Medical care can't heal a wounded heart." Mikey moved as Danni climbed in the bed with Oichi. She turned her over and hugged her. Oichi wrapped her arms around her crying even more. Danni rubbed her head. "I know peanut…I'm going to miss him to…" Lily sat beside her and rubbed her back. "Let everything out dear. Don't bottle up this sadness. Me and your mother are here for you as long as you need us to be…" Lily then frowned wondering why Deerward wasn't reacting to Oichi's despair. 'He must be very tired and weaken…my dear friend…I pray for both you and Oichi to return to normal soon…'

The next day, Seth was heading over to Zach's despite his parents pleads. His and Terra's divorce was finalized and sent out to Dracula and the others. Last night, Terra packing her things and left the manor taking Grayson with her. Seth frowned with a blank look in his eye. He had something to get off his chest and for the first time since his teen years he was going to sat everything that he had on his mind..*

At Zach's manor, he had his father hooked up to some IV's to give his father some fluid and blood. He frowned sitting down next to his father "hurry up and wake up father…" "Brother" he turned to Draven "what?" "I'm about to leave to meet up with Dracula, they found another Vermont hole that needs to be removed" Zach hummed "Where at?" "Oh somewhere near Canada" Draven says, Zach nodded to him "Have fun and kill some for me" Draven nodded to him "alright see you later" Draven says walking off. Draven reaching the bottom steps heard a knock on the front door, Draven blinked and walked over to the door. Opening it, his eyes widen to see Seth there "Oh King Seth hello, you feeling alright?"

"Where is Zach…" Seth says ignoring his question. smiled at him "His upstairs in father's room… you do know right?" Seth nodded stepping in, Draven chuckles "Well I'm off to kill some Vermont scum see ya!" Draven says and with his vampire skip he was gone. Seth walked on.

Zach walking out of his dads room and closed it he walked to his office, opening his office he stopped to see Seth standing there. Zach blinked at him "Seth… what are you doing here? You alright?" Zach steps over to him.

With anger in his eyes, Seth stormed up and punched Zach in the face stunning him a bit. Zach took a step back with widen eyes, rubbing his cheeks. "You…because of you Terra has left me…are you happy now? Are you happy that you drove my wife away!" Seth snaps at him. Zach's eyes widen "Terra left you….? Seth I didn't mean for her to leave you…"

Seth walks over to Zach's desk and kicks it into the wall. He clenched his fist in anger before he sighs out, returning to his calm self. He brushed himself off. "When you see Terra again…if you ever see her…you will apologize. I don't care how you do it. You will do it…" He looks down at the floor. "Yes, I love you…yes I love her to…but she decided that my love for you overcame my feelings for her. She was hurt seeing you get close to me. The rumors floating around. Those guards who told everyone how you kissed me that day. Do you understand how badly they are gonna drag your name though the mud? Did you ever think about how your image!? Mine!? Or Terra's!? No! You didn't. So long as you got what you want that's all that matter isn't it…your so damn selfish…" Zach frowned "No! I just… I didn't mean for this to happen..!"

Seth rubbed his hand through his hair and let's out another deep sigh. "It felt nice to get that out…" Keeping his back turned to Zach he crossed his arms. "If it were not for Terra and Ronnie, I'm sure I would have come to hate you…but at this point no matter what I do or say it boils down to what I want to do…and as painful as that decision has led me…I've decided to be happy…with you…" Zach's eyes widen "Happy… with me…?"

"…but don't think I've forgiven you…you owe Terra that apology and you owe thanks to Ronnie who talked me out of just leaving this place…I would have walked away and never come back…Be grateful that my parents support whatever decision I make thus this far…" Zach smiled stepping over to Seth and held his face gently then kissed Seth "Seth … I'm sorry… I didn't mean for this to get far…. You must know this…" "Even so…it still happened…" Seth says sighing.

Zach smiled kissing him again picking him up bridal style making Seth's eyes widen has with Zach's vampire speed they were in Zach's bedroom. Seth laying on his back and Zach hovering over him, Zach right away kissing Seth pushing his tongue in Seth's mouth. Their tongues danced around fighting for dominance until Zach won. Seth moans as he felt Zach's tongue explore his mouth. His lower body rub up against Seth's making him shiver. He felt a lump rubbing against him.

A bit of excitement rush through Seth as he hears Zach unbuckling an unzipping his pants. "There's no going back Seth, I've wanted you for so long, wanted to make love to you ever since I first laid eyes on you when we were teen years of 116…" Zach says kissing down Seth's neck and with quick movements they were both naked, Seth looked up at Zach's naked body, then his eyes roamed down and bites his lip seeing on huge and thick Zach was. Zach smirked looking down at him "See what you like Seth?" "Don't ask what you already know.." Seth say turning his head.

Zach with a bottle of lube squeezed some on fingers Seth holds his breath as he felt Zach hands touch his entrance and started to slowly finger him. All the while his hands roamed his body sending small electric jolts through his body.. Zach looked down at Seth, he was panting softly with a red face, Zach chuckles down at him leaning grabbing his face and kissing him deeply while fingering him. He trusted his fingers out then back in only to hear Seth gaps. 'Found it.' Zach chuckles moving his fingers faster, scissoring him to spread him out more. Seth's hips started to move with his fingers. His cock twitched as he felt his climax coming rapidly.

Sensing Seth was on the verge of coming, he pulled his fingers out. Seth shivered as his entrance pulsed, like it was finally ready for a good pounding. With a heated gaze on his face Zach started to rub lube on himself. He potions himself at Seth's entrance and with one movement he pushed himself into Seth, making his gasp out loudly with widen eyes. His body tensed up squeezing down on Zach. Zach shivered feeling Seth's walls clamp down on him. "Seth relax. Breathe easily." Seth does what he said relaxing his body. Zach smiled running his cheeks and trailing down to his stomach. Looking closer at Seth, he had forgotten how almost feminine his body looked naked.

He started to push into Seth gently at first. Seth bites his lip baring with the pain. His face was redden as he tried to get use to the foreign feeling. Soon the pain was replaced with pleasure and Zach finally started to hear Seth moan out. Zach pushed his legs out. "Now that your use to me let's go up a level." His gentle thrusts went harder. Reaching deeper into Seth.

Seth tilt his head back as pleasure rush through his body. 'His thrusts…so strong…' Seth says clinging to the blanket. With every powerful thrust from Zach, Seth felt the same lighting sparks from earlier. It made his body shake. "Haa…ah!" Zach groans hearing Seth moans. They were turning him on more. His body reacted as he started to pump harder and faster. He bends down and licks Seth neck leaving a trail of saliva before reaching his ear. "I can't take it…" Zach groans out in his ear. Like a flip with switch, Zach's thrust went even faster. Sudden electric pleasure ran up Seth's body. He wrapped his arms around Zach's neck. "Seth! Oh God Seth!" Zach says pressing his body on top of his. Seth's moans out loudly feeling his cock rubbing against Zach's stomach. "W-Wait…Zach..!" Seth calls out feeling his climax coming. Zach didn't stop until he felt Zach tighten around him. His back arched as he came first. Cum layered on his stomach and Zachs. "I…told you…to wait…" Seth says panting, putting his hand over his face. Zach chuckled with last growing in his eyes.

Zach sat up smirk on his face. He towered over Seth while rubbing the cum that was on his stomach. " Was it that good?" Seth's frowned as he was then lifted up. Seth's face turned red. "I don't ride…" Zach chuckled. "Humor me…" He held on to Seth's hip and pushed himself back inside. Seth shivered. "Fuck…" He whispered out. Zach moans as he started to bounce Seth on him. Wrapping hid arms around him he started to thrust up meeting Seth. He bit his ear, licking his ear lobe. "It feels amazing inside you. It's like you were made for me." Zach whispered. He felt Seth squeeze down on him. "Ho? You love dirty talk? Your squeezing down on me so hard. You love getting pounded by me don't you?"

Seth suddenly pushed him back and slammed a kiss on his lips. The both moaned as Seth starts to move on his own. He matched Zach's pace. He pulled away from Zach and moans out. He runs his fingers through Zach's hair as he bounced on Zach's lap. Zach held on to his hips and butt. Seth moans more slamming into him harder and harder. His body started to heat up. The tip of half harden cock rubbed more up on Zach giving him extra pleasure.

Zach watching Seth enjoying himself, felt a little snap inside him. He pushed Seth down, turning him on his back, grabbing his leg he started to thrust roughly into him. "AAH! R-Right there! So rough…" Seth says with a flush face. "Seth! Oh fuck! It's like you keep sucking me back in. Your body doesn't want to let me go. I love it!" Seth grabs his own Cock and starts to rub it. His hips moved in sync with Zach's rough thrusts. His mind started to go blank.

Without a second thought he looked up at Zach. Their eyes meet. Seth gave him such a erotic and lustful gaze. He held his hand up. "Zach…make me yours…I'm all yours now." Zach's eyes widen as he felt another snap in his chest. That was the sound of his restraints.

His thrust started to wilder and rougher. "Seth! Seth!" He screams out in pure pleasure. "Zach! Oh Zach!" Zach's wild pounding was just enough to push Seth over. His walls clamps down on Zach once more and he came on his chest. Zach pants and closed his eyes as he thrusts deeply cumming as well. Their bodies shivered together. Seth breathes out heavily but his body yearned for more. Zach, feeling the same, pulled out and put him on all fours. Without skipping a beat he pushed back inside Seth resuming his wild thrusts. "You love this don't you! Tell me you love this!" Zach moans out, gripping Seth's hips. Seth clings to a pillow. "I do…I love it…" He gasps out.

Zach looks down, watching himself go in and out of Seth. His cum was leaking out of Seth creating a wet sound that echo around them. Sweat started to form on his body as he pushed into Zach harder. The bed shook from his powerful thrusts. "More…give me more! Fuck me Zach! You've been waiting for me for so long…ah! Ahh! Is this all you have to prove it!?" Zach smirks as he kept his same force and speed. "Your teasing me. So like you. Fine. I'll give you everything. I'll give all my love to you right now!"

He pushed Seth's body down and pin his hips to the bed. He started to slam into Seth over and over. Seth eyes started roll to the back of his head. "Yes! Just like that!" Zach groans out feeling his own pleasure. 'It's so hot inside him. I want cum so deep inside him. I want to impregnated him.' Zach's own body shook just at though as he fucked Seth as hard as he possibly could. Just imaging Seth with his child sent him over the edge.

The bed creaked more, it started to crack but Seth and Zach were so into their fuck session they barely noticed. Soon the bed nor the floor could take the punishment. Both Zach and Seth felt the bed give out and with it the floor underneath it. They landed on the floor under them only to fall off the bed and land on the couch breaking it in half.

Seth, was now back on top of Zach with his back towards him. His cock was still deeply inside him. Zach wrapped his arms around Seth's waist and went back to his beastly pounding. "Seth! Seth! Oh fuck Seth!" Zach leans back on the broken couch bring Seth with him. He grabs his legs and pulls them up as well. "I'm gonna cum so deep inside you!" Zach yells. Seth was unable to respond as he enjoyed his hole being treated so roughly. Zach licked the side of his neck. "I love you, Seth! I love you!" He bit his neck deeply marking him. "Love…you to…" Seth moans out.

Zach releases his bite and licks the mark. "Your mine. All mine! Tell me your mine!" "Yes! I'm all yours!" Seth says tearing. They groan out together as Zach felt himself cumming. His wild thrust were turning Seth's butt red. Seth didn't care right now as he rubbed himself. "Zach! I'm gonna cum! I'm cumming!" "Me to Seth! I'm cumming!" Zach pulled all the way out and pushed so deep inside Seth one final time. Seth screams out as he came harder then he has every had. He could feel Zach warm seed filling him up inside. Zach grinds his hips a few more seconds before the both collapsed on the broke couch.

Zach pants and looks up and chuckles. 'This is the first…since Draven…I fucked him though the wall once but never through the bed, floor, and couch…' He pulled out of Seth who moans softly. "Are you okay?" Seth sighs with a red face. "I said some embarrassing crap…" Zach chuckled. "I didn't think it was embarrassing." "Of course you didn't." He looked at the ceiling and it dawned on him what just happened. "We…are never have Sex in my manor if this happens consistently…" He says dropping his head. Zach laughed and pulled him over to him. He kissed him deeply. "Why don't we go clean up in my second bedroom.".

Getting up, they both made sure no maids were around and slipped into his second bedroom. Seth sighs laying on the bed. His hair was hanging down over his face. Zach lays beside him. "I'm so happy that your finally mine…" Seth glanced at him and sighs turning his back to him. "I feel the same.' Zach smiled wrapping his arms around Seth before they both drifted off to sleep.

At Ross's and Kaci's, Ross was in the kitchen with Kaci making some dinner. Azaya was in the living room watching the kids. Kalena and Leia were playing with a tea set what was made fire proof. Hannibal was near them with his batman and joker figure playing superhero and Villain "I'm batman! Take that!" Hannibal shouted playing with his toys. Azaya chuckled at him. Then she felt a sudden hotness but shook it off "Azaya can you come here to set the table?" Kaci asked from the kitchen, Azaya smiled "Sure mom!" Azaya got up and took a couple of steps when a sudden dizziness took over and she collapsed next to the girls making their eyes widen. Hannibal gasped and rushed off to the kitchen, Kalena and Leia frowned. Stepped over to her poking and shaking her, Kalena frowned "Siss…?" Azaya didn't answer, Ross and Kaci rushed in with Hannibal to see Azaya on the floor.

Ross frowned and goes over to her. Dropping to his knees he touched her forehead. "Good grief." He says with a sigh. He picked up Kalena and put her down away from Azaya. "Stay here. No touching your sister." Kalena blinks and tilts her head. Leia copies her. Ross picked Azaya up. "I'll take her to her room." Kaci frowned "alright, I'll call the school in the morning and excuse her from school for awhile" he says watching Ross walk off with Azaya. Kaci stepped over to the girls and knelled down, Kalena looked up at her with a sad look. Kaci smiled and padded her head "It will be okay hunny, your sister caught a demon cold… gets sick once in awhile hunny but for awhile until she feels better okay?" Kalena nodded "Okay…" Kaci smiled at her.

Upstairs, Ross walked into Azaya's room and placed her down and with a snap of his fingers, with his fire her clothes changed into pajama's. leaving the room only to return with a special thermometer for Azaya made by Jess. Gently putting it in her mouth under her tongue, he frowned to see go up to almost lava hot. Taking it out 'well lucky everything in here is lava proof…. I would have to order something for her cold… maybe brother… can get me some…..' hearing humming he looked to see Azaya waking up, fluttering her eyes widen she sees Ross sitting next to her. Azaya frowned "not again… please tell me I'm not sick again…?" she says coughing slightly 'great know my throat hurts….' "Stop talking.," Ross says. "It's amazing. You're the only person I know who can get sick while being ground." He says teasing her. Azaya pouted at him.

"Well. Just chill in bed, can't have you getting the kids sick. Me and Kaci will come and check up on. For now, I'll go find something to cold you off." Ross says to her, Azaya nodded has her father tucked her in "Get some sleep" Azaya nodded and cuddled under the blanket. Ross smiled down at her but got up and left the room.

At Jess's, Chida was outside on the phone Lucius. Chida chuckles softly "Sure I wouldn't mind coming to meet up with you… yeah sure…" Chida giggled "alright see" he didn't finish when he phone was taken from his hand. Making Chida gasp turning around to see Rick who hanged up the phone, Chida frowned "What the fuck?!" Rick bites his lip "why are you still talking to him?!" Rick shouted.

Chida's eyes widen at him then narrowed "Because he is my friend!" Chida shouted back at him snatching his phone back, Rick growled "You are mine!" he grabbed Chida's arm making Chida gasp but smacked Rick across the face hard making him hit the ground hard from Chida's vampire strength "I don't even know you anymore! That stupid curse that's on this family has gotten to you! I'm gonna leave and when your back to normal I'll come back!" Chida disappeared with his speed. Rick on the ground frowned holding his cheek 'what is wrong with me….?'

Somewhere in an underground unknown location. Valeriea was walking with Balthus and Azraelle by her side. They walked into a large room that had a lot of machines in it. Walking towards the middle room, they saw two beds with three bodies on it. Valeriea chuckled. One was the body of her former teacher Grace, next to it was the body of Sirius. It had not decayed, and he looked the same way he died. Beside his body was a female's but it was covered in a sheet.

"Well, well, well…this is a face I didn't think I'd see again…" Valeriea looked past the bodies to see Abby in a new body. She had long flowing dark purple hair and piercing red eyes. She was wearing black ruffled shirt and tights with high heels, but even in her new body her scars from battle still showed. Walking beside her was Shawn the leader of the Vermont clan. His appearance was different as well. His short hair was now long and black and he looked much older than he tended to be. Behind him a cloth figure stood back.

"Abby…it has been a very long time." "I don't want to walk down memory lane, with. Don't think I've forgotten that you killed my mother and broke my brothers' heart." Valeriea chuckled. "And yet you asked for my help." "I didn't ask. You proposed a good idea and went along with. Now enough with the chatting." She looked at Azraelle. "Who the hell is this." "This is Azraelle. Goodness of life, death, and rebirth. It is by her decision who lives and dies. The reaper carried out the deaths and send them to where they need to go. He can also keep special souls that are marked special. "In order to gather those soul, you would need something of equal value to replace it with. But…now…with the reaper sealed temporarily I can skip that last rule for certain souls and Azraelle will make it happen." Abby hums out. "Very well…then lets get started. First bring back my mother." Valeriea looked at Azraelle whose eyes flashed. "That would be impossible." "What!? Why!" Abby snaps. "Your mother's soul has been reincarnated already." "Then bring it here! I don't care where her soul is! I wanted it back in her body!" "No. Your mother is being reincarnated by the child of the wolf Queen Oichi Yamamoto. Since the soul is awaken it cannot be removed and even if it could I would not do it. The child places a great role in the future to come." Abby bit his lip. "How dare you! I don't give a damn about the future! My mother was killed because my aunt Regina gave her no help! She sacrifices her life for nothing! She deserves to live!" "She is living. Through that child. In the sense, that child is now the reincarnation of your mother. There is nothing I can do for you."

Abby clenched her fist. "Very well…moving on…" Valeriea chuckled and held up the cube Samuel was trapped in. It was already cracking. "Bring back Sirius." Valeriea says. Azraelle reached out and touched the box. She lifted her finger with a black crystal attached to it. She snaps it with her finger and the soul of Sirius appeared. He looked around and smirked. Seeing his body, he quickly jumped in it, bring color back to the body. "Once his soul is settled, he will wake." Azraelle says. "For the final one." Valeriea says. Azraelle nods and does the same thing but this time pulls out a clear white crystal and smashes it. The soul takes the form or a light and floats over to the covered body, slipping into it. "Who was that? You brought her lover back?" Abby asked. Valeriea smirked. "No, Orochi's soul has left the plain and cannot be retrieve by any means. Ash for the vampire, the reaper, even when captured has placed many difficulties around his soul. It is a bother to go through. When that one wakes she will leave your side and cause her own little chaos. Now, that I have fulfilled my side of the deal. I want you to fulfill mine." Abby sighs and held up a box. She opened it and showed a red syringe. "A sample of mothers blood as you requested." Valeriea used her magic and it floated over to her. "Thank you. It is a shame you don't recognize yourself as a dark witch." "I will never call myself that. I will watch all of you burn." Valeriea shakes her head. "You act like one. Your method reflects that but, whatever. Your day will come. Good bye."

Valeriea walks away leaving Balthus there. Azraelle walks after Valeriea. "What more do you need me for?" She asked. "Take me to the Amazon. Once I step foot there, Lami will sense me and capture me and that will be it for me. Once you take me there. You are free to go." "You are turning yourself in?" "Yes, my Magic is just about gone. I've done what I needed to do." Azraelle nods and opens a portal. "Then I wish you farewell dark witch Valeriea. I hope that you will get everything coming to you." Valeriea chuckled and walked through. The portal closes. Azraelle sighs and then smiles. "My son…I'm coming to you." She walks off with a hum.

In the Amazon, Laim and the moonfall clan were racing to an area that pulsed out dark magic. A magic he knew far to well. Olivia and the others had taken off before he was made aware of it. They suddenly heard a scream. "Olivia!" He and his clans burst out of the trees and their eyes widen to see that some of their members were already dead, with their souls removed. Liam looked up to see Valeriea sitting down on a broken tree log with Olivia floating behind her. "Hello Liam…it has been quite some time has it not." "Val…unhand her." Valeriea smirked. "I see it in your eyes Liam…you still love me doing you?" Liam frowned. "Why else would you try to stop your sister from killing me? You've done so much and yet your heart still wants me. How foolish. "G-Grandfather…" Olivia whimpers out. "Forgive me…"

"What do you want Val?" Liam asked. "I want you to hate me. Like your sister does. Like the rest of the world does." "No…because I believe that there is still good in you. You only went dark because that slave girl died…your heart was shattered and you had no one to turn to. Even though you could have come to me. I would have helped you not that demon!" Valeriea sighs and flicks her hand. Black vines came from the ground piercing through Olivia's stomach and chest. She screams as the vines tossed her into the woods. A few member went after her.

"OLIVIA!" Liam gripped his fist. "Why are you doing this!?" "It is impossible…you are just like her and it makes me mad….no matter…I just wanted to use the last bit of my magic to kill someone." She chuckled darkly. Liam bit his lip as his magic powers glowed. "How could you….how dare you…!" he lifted his hand and a large celestial blade appeared right above Valeriea's head. Liam huffs out and snaps his fingers. The sword changed into a pair of cuffs and neck brace. They clamped on to Valeriea who chuckled. He then ran after Olivia. "Go contact Lady Jess and Lady Oichi that Valeriea is without magic and has been captured!" He told a messenger.

Reaching Olivia, the others were trying to heal her but it was much to late. Liam drops tonhis knees and lifted her up. "Olivia…forgive me…" He tears holding her close.

Jess arrived back home, Emma was asleep next to the boys making Jess smiled. Aerith and Ebony were still there, Aerith turned to her and frowned "mom… dads been outside for a day sitting there …." Jess frowned and went outside to see Rick sitting on the ground hugging hugging legs and head down.

Jess walked up to him "Rick what's wrong?" Rick didn't look up to her "this curse is getting to me…. Why do I have to act this way towards Chida….?" Jess frowns and sat down next to him "it's not your fault Rick…. It's this curse on your family…. I think it's best if you let Chida go hun" Rick looks up at her with some tears "Jess…. I don't think this curse will let me… I don't even recognize myself anymore…" Jess hugged him "go to your father and ask him for help" Rick sniffed and nodded to her.

At Oichi's castle, everything was silent. The guards were posted on the wall. After crying herself to sleep in her mother's arm yesterday, she threw herself into work. In her office, Oichi with redden eyes from crying, was signing off paper work. She had sent Paxton and the dragons back to Switzerland to see if they could find any survivors. After the magic bomb went off Switzerland was completely wiped out leaving nothing but dirt.

She rubbed her hand through her hair sniffing. 'Orochi…' She rubbed her eye. Her door opened and Jackal walked in with some blue moon tea. He sat it on her desk. "Lady Oichi…you shouldn't push yourself. You need time to grieve…" "Crying won't bring him back." "He is made from the rare phoenix feather. He will be reborn back into this world one day." "He said he won't be back. During his final words he said…" Tears drops from her eyes. Jackal walked over to her and rubs her back. "Let me escort you back to bed. You cannot focus like this…"

Rex appeared in front of her and bows. "Lady Oichi…I bring troubling news." Oichi looks up at him. "Report…" "I have received a message from Liam Moonfall. He had captured Valeriea but not before she killed his great grand daughter and a few of his clan members." Oichi frowned. "Bring them to me. Send them straight to the anti-magic prison." Rex nods. "Understood but it seems Valeriea no longer has her magic. She used the last of it to kill Lady Olivia…" Oichi sighs. "It doesn't matter. Even if she has no magic she is still dangerous." Rex nods. "Would you like for me to inform Lady Jess." "Yes." Oichi says getting up. "I will be in the prison room waiting."

Not long, Jess was power walking through the prison what Rex had told her everything. Reaching the area, she see's Oichi standing there. "Oichi..!" Oichi turned to her, Jess hugged her "I came soon as possible… is Liam here with that dark witch?"

Oichi turned to the prison. There they saw Valeriea sitting down in cuffs in a blue prison outfit. Liam was standing in front of it with a sad look in his eyes. Oichi walked up to him and placed a hand on his shoulder. She then walked up to the prison screen. Jess frowned "Valeriea…"

"Even in your last breath you still found a way to bring misery…" Oichi says with a frown. Valeriea leans back with a blank stare. "You look worse for wear Wolf pup. I see your lover didn't make it. What a shame. You just keep losing husbands." Oichi's eyes glowed. "Rex shut her up." A nano bot appeared in front of Valeriea and transformed into a mask that sealed her mouth shut. She narrowed her eyes. "I'm don't listening to whatever you have to say. You have done enough and you will pay. You must be thinking that there is no way to kill but your wrong. I could give you to Jess and she throw you into that dimensional prison but that is far too easy."

Oichi had a dark look on her face. "You will pay for everything that you have done and I will make personally sure that you never come back. Your trail will be held two days from now. I hope you made peace with yourself." She turns around and walks up to Liam. "I…am sorry for your lost." Liam nods. "As I am sorry for yours…" Jess hug's Liam "I'm sorry Liam… if you need me to do anything in help I will" "Thank you…" Jess looked at Oichi "You gonna have Rex send messages to everyone?" "Yes, Rex send out the notice and the trail date. I request all kings and queens to be to here. It's not optional. If we want Valeriea to stay gone everyone needs to be here." "Understood. Unfortunately, I do not have contact with the Russian wolf queen." Oichi turned to Jess. "Jess…I leave that to you. For my plan to fully work all of us need to be here." Jess nodded "Of course I'll contact her"

Rick opened the front door of his father's manor, closing he sighed with puff red eyes. A maid sees him and smiles "Oh welcome home prince Rick, your father is in the kitchen with a guest" Rick blinked "Oh I see, thank you" he said walking off to the kitchen. Reaching the kitchen, there was soft radio music playing and he heard soft chuckling. Blinking rick peeked in to see his father wearing boxers and shirt with Seth next to him in boxers and a shirt also, they where both standing next to each other in front of the stove, Rick could smell some bacon being cooking. Stepping inside the kitchen, Seth gaps pulling his hand away "ouch" Zach's eyes widen "You alright?" Seth nodded "Just some bacon grease splattered on me" Zach chuckles at him gently taking his hand and kissing it "Better babe?" Seth flushed and nodded.

"Dad?" they both turned to Rick, Zach blinked "Rick what you doing here?" Rick looked at him then Seth "what's.. going on here…?" Zach smiles at him "making food with my mate" Seth's face flushed at what he said, Rick eyes widen "Mate…?" "Rick what do you want?" making Rick jump, he frowned and looked down "I think this curse is getting to me…" Zach frowns, Seth looked at Zach "The curse on your family from Luther….?" Zach nodded "Seth do you mind finishing up the bacon?" Seth nodded "Sure" Zach kissed his forehead then turned to Rick and pointed at the table "Sit" Zach nodded and sat down, Zach sat down next to him "Alright tell me everything…."

Rick sniffed "this curse is getting to me… I don't like the way Chida has spending time with this Lucius… I marked so he's mine.." Zach sighs softly "Rick what you have is bad…. It's what happen to Clover, the curse turned him violent where… he killed father, then took your grandmother's soul…. Then after decades later on Kaci's 16th birthday Clover killed Draven out of jealous, if he couldn't have him then no would" Rick frowned looked down "you telling me I'm gonna turn out like him….? Try and kill the ones I love….?" Zach reached out taking him hand "it might happen" Seth finish the bacon walked over to the table putting the bacon that was on a paper plate and towels form the bacon grease sat down next to Zach "How did you break it…?" Rick asked his father. Zach breathes softly and took Seth's hand "True Love… it broke for me because of my love for your mother and Seth, I truly loved Kira and Seth" Seth smiled with a flush and eat a piece of bacon. Rick flushed at them, Zach chuckles "Do you truly Love Jess and Chida?" Rick blinked at him and opened his mouth but couldn't say anything.

Seth frowns "the link between Regina and Jareth through him and Jess is gone…." Zach nodded "that reincarnation soul mate bond was severed when you died… you may have been brought back through Levis's body… but that soul mate bond is still gone…." Rick bites his lip "So I'm not meant to be with Jess or Chida anymore….?" Zach breathes softly and nods to him "yes…." Rick frowns "No I can't lose them…" Zach squeezed his hand making him yelp, Rick looked up at his father. Zach's eyes glowing red "You need to understand this Rick, you need to think long and hard what will happen after this… If Chida wants to leave you and Jess, let him… I will be here to help through this curse on this family and make sure you don't go down the path of darkness" Rick frowns and tears "Dad…." "Now go home and be with your wife…." Zach says. Rick sniffs "okay..."

Rex appeared suddenly. He eyes Seth and Zach and his eyes flashed. Seth frowned. "Did you just snap a picture of me?" "I did. Seeing this picture would make Oichi happy." "Erase it." "Negative…moving on I've brought a message. The dark witch has been captured and her trail will be held within two days. Lady Oichi requires both Kings to attend it is not optional. All kinds and queens much be present for Lady's Oichi's plan to seal Valeriea." Seth eyes widen slightly. "She plans to what? How?" Zach's eyes widen "Valeriea was captured….?" Rick frowns and rushes off.

"All will be explained at the trail." Rex bows and disappeared. Seth sigh and turns to Zach. "I'm heading home. I need to prepare. I have questions for that witch." Zach nodded and kisses Seth who kissed him back "See you at the trail love"

At Ross's and Kaci's. Ross was on the floor with Leia. He was told by Oichi that he could keep her for a few more days. Kaci was upstairs checking on Azaya. Hannibal came running around the corner. Leia's eyes sparkled as she slid away from Ross and ran to Hannibal. "Hannibal!" She yelled tackling him into a hug. Ross started to laugh as the rolled over to the play mat giggling. "You sure do like Hannibal huh." "Mhmm!" Leia says giggling. Kalena came around holding a Bat plushie doll. "Daddy…play with me?" "Of course princess." He picked her up. "What shall we play today?" "Hide and seek!" Hannibal and Leia ran over. "I wanna play!" Hannibal says jumping up and down. "Me to?" Leia asked. "Okay, Okay, you three go hide okay." He put Kalena down and closed his eyes. "1…2…3…" He heard them giggle and run off.

Outside, Azraelle was floating in the air. Her black wings flapped looking down at the house. "My son…"

She placed her hands together and started to sing.

"Wolves asleep amidst the trees

Bats all a swaying in the breeze

But one soul lies anxious wide awake

Fearing all manner of ghouls, hags and wraiths

For your dolly Polly sleep has flown

Don't dare let her tremble alone

For the witcher, heartless, cold

Paid in coin of gold

He comes he'll go leave naught behind

But heartache and woe

Deep, deep woe"

In the house, Ross was holding Kalena, Leia, and Hannibal in his arms. They were pouting. Ross chuckled. "Looks like I'm still the king of hide and seek." Kaci came down and smiled as Ross started to cuddle the kids making them giggle.

Suddenly Kaci started to get a nose bleed and so did Leia. Ross frowned as they all started to hear singing. Ross immediately recognized the song and quickly cast a sound proof barrier over Kaci blocking the song from reaching him. He did the same to Leia. He put the kids on the couch and ran to the door. Kalena held Leia's hand. "Leia ok?" Hannibal frowned moving closer and grabbed her hand to.

Outside Azraelle was floating down. She only song half her song when she heard the door slammed open. Looking down see saw Ross rush out. His eyes widen looking up at her. "Mother…?" Azraelle smiles brightly and lands softly in front of him. "My son…" She glides to him and hugs him. Ross was at a lost for words as he hugged her back. "But how…" Azraelle lets him go and chuckles. "We will speak on that later. I want to spend my time with my baby boy." Ross blushed. "I see…then can you not sing? My God daughter and wife are not immune to it." Azraelle blinks. "Your wife? Does that mean I have grandchildren?" Ross nods. "I'll introduce you." He grabs her hand and walks into the house. He snaps his fingers releasing the barrier around Kaci and Leia.

Their eyes widen seeing the beautiful woman standing next to Ross. Kalena eyes widen. "You look like daddy…" She says softly. Azraelle smiles. "My…you look like your daddy to. How cute." Ross chuckled. "Everyone I'd like for you to meet my mother Azraelle." Hannibal gasped "she my granny?" "Yup." Ross says nodding. Azraelle smiles sweetly at him.

"Ross…." They turn to see Kaci holding his nose with a paper towel to his nose, Kaci then notices Azraelle. He blinked and bowed "Hello…" Azraelle looks at him like she was studying him. Ross chuckled. "It seems like Kalena gets that trait from you. Always studying something new." Azraelle blinks. "Oh! I'm sorry. That was rude. Hello. You must be Ross's beloved. A pleasure to meet you." Kaci smiled "It's a pleasure to meet you also, I'm Kaci Blood Meyers Morningstar" Hannibal giggled and stood on the couching "and me Hannibal!"

"Hello Hannibal." Azraelle says with a giggle. Kaci chuckles then sighs "Well I'm gonna make some homemade chicken noodle soup for Azaya" he walked off to the kitchen. Hannibal frowned. "sissy sick…" "You have another child?" "Yes, my oldest." Azraelle looks at Leia. "You mean the cute one in the middle isn't yours?" Ross chuckled. "No she's my God daughter." "I see…maybe I see your oldest? If she wishes it I can heal her from the pain." "It's not like that but sure. You three sit tight. I'll be back down." Ross says bringing Azraelle upstairs. Reaching Azaya's room he stepped in to see Azaya fast asleep but breathing slightly heavily from her demon cold "Come on in mom" he said, Azraelle walking in behind him has he stepped over to Azaya and sat down next to her. Azarelle moved closer to see Azaya, Ross rubbed her head "Azaya hun, wake up" Azaya hummed slightly and opened her eyes and smiled "daddy…" Ross smiled "How you feeling?" Azaya sniffed "very warm…" then Azaya noticed someone else in the room, she tried to sit up but failed. Ross smiled and helped her sit up, Azaya blinked at Azarelle "Uhm Hello…. Daddy who's this…?"

"This is your grandmother Azraelle. My birth mother." Ross says smiling. Azraelle reached down a touched Azaya's head. Azaya felt a cold touch but it cooled her body down. Her fatigue disappeared and she opened her eyes fully. Azaya blinked at her "my grandmother….?"

"Hello there darling. My name is Azraelle. I'm your father's mother. It's a pleasure to meet you." Azraelle says with a smile. "I calmed your cold down but only for a little while. If you wish to be fully healed I can do that to if you wish" Azaya blinked shocked by her "dad.. is she a deity….?"
Azraelle pouted a bit. "Never mind that question. I'm your grandmother." Azaya smiled "thank you grandma…. Uhmm what nick name to give you…" ross chuckles at her then Azaya giggled "Grandma Elle!"

Azraelle smiles. "I guess I should properly introduce myself to you. I am Azraelle, Goddess of death, life, and rebirth. I am very happy to not only reunite with my only son but as well as the beautiful grandchildren he has for me to cuddle and possibly spoil." Ross smiles. "It's nice to see you again mom. But there is something you should know." "I already know it. Your father is sealed and your brother has taken his place as the new king of hell. I am not happy about being away from Lucifer but it was for the best. He did not love me as much as I loved him but I'm happy that our small time together gave me you." She smiled sweetly at Ross. "I'm so sorry that I left you when you were younger, now that I am here I hope you will allow me to call you son and make up time with you and your family." Ross smiles brightly. "Of course mom. I would like that a lot."

Azaya started to tear making them look at her, Ross frowned "Hun what's wrong?" Azaya sniffs wiping her tears away with a tissue "I'm just happy she likes me unlike… him…" then she sneezed "oh bless me…."

Azraelle blinks looking at her and then looked at Ross. "It's a long and complicated story…" "Mhmm…I see…I'd love to hear about it." She looked at Azaya and smiled. "I am very sorry you had to go through such a hard time. The whole reason I was ever sealed was because I tried to kill Lilith. The copy version not the real one." She rubs the tears out of Azaya's eyes. "You got stuck with that woman as your grandmother but no longer. Now that I am back, please view me as your grandmother from now on." Azaya smiled "okay grandma"

"What about Nysa…I've viewed her as my mother as well…and even though it hurts when dad was sealed, she still loved my children…" Azraelle chuckled. "I don't mind you viewing her as your mother as well. Having two mom's, someone consider themselves lucky for that. Now, why don't we let Azaya rest and we catch up a little more?" Ross nods. Azraelle smiles brightly at Azaya. "Get some rest little one. It was nice to meet my son's beautiful children." Azaya smiled "It was nice to meet you too Grandma" Azaya says and lays down closing her eyes.

"She's so cute…it is ashamed though…she didn't understand Lucifer's true goal…" Azraelle says with a sigh. Ross nods. "It's not worth explaining right now…" They turned to the window to see Obsidian stepping to her, Ross frowned at him. Obsidian looked at them then at Azraelle. His eyes widen and gasps softly and knelled down "Lady Azraelle it's been for to long, I'm happy to see you again"

"Oh…your still around little dragon." She rubs her chin. "He is Azaya's familiar…thanks to father making a stupid deal. She named him Obsidian." Azraelle hums out and chuckles. "I see…it is a shame…I found you very cute back then…I would have loved to have made you my mate at one point." Ross almost gagged. Obsidian laughed "aww your are still sweet has I remember"

Azraelle laughs. "Your father had the same reaction when I told him that. How adorable." She looks at Obsidian. "Protect my darling grandchild, for if any harm comes to her then it will be your head on a platter, okay?" She says giving him a sweet yet cold smile. Ross shivered a bit from that. Obsidian nodded "Of course Lady Azraelle"

"Ross? Can we go out a bit? I would like to purchase more clothing. It seems this dress is all I have." Azraelle asked. "Sure thing. I know a few shops around here. Are you going to stay here for a while?" "If I can? I'd like to learn a bit more about how things have changed around here. Oh a mother and father day!?" Ross nods with a smile. "Okay!" "Obsidian" he turned and Azaya smiled, he smiled back and turned before them into his tiny dragon version. Azraelle giggled "aww still cute!" Obsidian flew over to Azaya and snuggled with her.

Two days later, Oichi was sitting in her room alone. She was wearing an elegant lace embroidery tulle beaded navy blue dress. Elegant rhinestone buckle strap high heel shoes and her crown on her head. Her hair was down past her back and was mixed with black and blue. She stared blankly in the mirror. Her hand reached up and rubbed her necklace. 'Orochi….' She tears slightly as she started to grow angry. 'Why…why can't the fates allow me to be happy!' Her aura spiked out shattering the mirror. She grips her hand tightly.

Her door opened and Terrance rushed in with Dargrath behind him. "Lady Oichi?" They started at the shattered mirror. Oichi got up and turned to them. Without a word she walked by them and out the door. Terrance frowned. 'Oichi…' Dargrath followed her out the door.

Making her way to the throne room, Oichi looked down at the floor. She did not feel like doing anything, her body felt numb, she felt…empty. "Lady Oichi…" Oichi stopped and looked up. Her eyes widen slightly to see Fredrick standing in front of her. He was wearing a red and black royal attire and a small crown on his head. He looked quite different from before. He was leaner and had gotten very handsome. Behind him was bodyguard Raymond. "King Fredrick…" Fredrick walked up to her. "I heard what happen to your husband…I am sorry for your lost. I know how it is to lose your partner…if you ever need anyone to talk to, I am here." He reached up and rubbed a strain of hair that had fallen out of place. The back of his hand gaze her cheek gently, giving her a sense of warmth. Her eyes widen slightly as a few tears started to leak out of her eyes.

"O-Oh…I apologize…" She says catching her tears. Fredrick smiled softly cupping her face suddenly. "It's okay to cry. Trust me on that. You need to allow yourself to heal. If the trail needs to be postponed, then that is fine. We will understand." Oichi blushed slightly as she accidently stared into his eyes. Dargrath and Terrance frowned at this and cleared their throat at the same time, snapping Oichi back. She stepped back from Fredrick. "Thank you for your kind words but the trial will happen. Valeriea needs to pay for what she has done to not only your people but humans everywhere." Fredrick sighs softly and nods. "Then allow me to accompany you to the throne room? You said you required all of the Kings and Queens, I didn't think you would ask for me."

They started to walk. "Well, you are still the king of humans…even if your kingdom was destroyed and to be honest, I've been keeping tabs on you. It seems you found a new home and rebuilt. I am happy that you adjusted well." "Yes, we also limited our hunters to a degree. There will be no more needless killing on our side. Titus has made sure of that." Oichi smiles. "I see, that is good. I hope you will start to visit more." "I will, I hope that you will join me for lunch after this. I think we both can use a little decompression." Oichi chuckles. "I will think on it"

Reaching the throne room, the guards opened the door, and they walked in. The throne room was the same, but the chairs had been arranged for all the Kings and Queens who would be attending. Oichi walked up the small set of stairs and sat in the middle. Terrance stood at the bottom of the stairs and Dargrath stood behind Oichi. Fredrick walked up the stairs and sat beside her on her left and Raymond stood behind him. Up top in the viewing section. Kalmin was there and was join with the triplets. The twins did not want to attend and were looking after the quads. Lulu was watching Emma and Jasper. Oichi sighs as nobles and regular guests started to slowly walk into the top. Normally she wouldn't give Valeriea the spotlight, but the world needed to know just how dangerous she was and hopefully her punishment would be enough to atone for all the things she has done.

Oichi looked up to see Emi walked into the room wearing a black and gold gown with a hair up in a cute style and a crown. Emi smiled up at her and bowed her head "Good evening Queen Oichi, it's good to see you again and hello Lord Fredrick" "Hello Queen Emi." Fredrick says. "Hello, thank you for joining us how have you been?"

Emi smiles "I'm doing fine, my father and mother sends their love" Oichi smiles "Thank you, please have a seat next to Fredrick" Emi nodded waked up to Fredrick and sat down next to him. Not long Oichi's eyes widen to see Jess walking with such elegance wearing short sleeve royal blue stand collar embroidery gown, gold heels and a Sapphire tiara pearl tiara Royal blue Gold tiara on her head. The make up on her was prefect with blue shades of eyeshadow and black eyeliner. Behind her Zach walked up along with her wearing a gothic like tuxedo. He bowed "Good evening Queen Oichi, you look stunning" Jess smiles "hello Oichi, you look so pretty today" Oichi raised her eyebrow slightly. "It's rare for you to wear blue…" Jess blushed "Do I look weird?" Zach chuckles "No you look cute in Blue."

Seth soon walked in wearing a black and red suit with Rune and Hayate behind him. As soon as he entered, the vampire nobles started to whisper loudly. Oichi rubbed her ears. She could head some of them saying rude things about Zach and how he ruined Seth's marriage. Jess sat down next to Oichi and smiled "Hello King Seth, Lord Hayate and Lord Rune" Zach sits down next to Jess.

Seth ignored the chatter as Hayate stood in front of the stairs with Terrance. "Oichi…how have you been?" Oichi smiles softly. "I've been okay…more importantly, I'm sorry about the chatter." "It's fine. Noble's chat. I do not really care." He glanced at Fredrick and sighs. "I suppose if I asked you to move…" "Should have gotten here first." Fredrick says chuckling. "I'll consider that next time." He says taking a seat on the far left with Rune standing beside him.

The chatter then stopped as the doors opened and Marik walked in wearing a dark red suit. Behind him was Zahrab. The women in the room blushed looking at their handsome features. Marik walked up the stairs and smiles. "Queen Oichi…my condolences for your lost. If his soul should ever appear back on earth, you will be the first to know." For a second Oichi had a glint of hope in her eyes. "Thank you…but…he said he wasn't coming back…" Marik chuckled. "We shall see about that." He went to take his seat on the far right. Zahrab was staring at Oichi with widen eyes. "…Can I help you?" Oichi asked. "…You look like Zissa…just about…" "Who?" "The demon version of your mother." Marik says. Oichi blinks. "Oh…I see." Zahrab smiles and bows before standing behind Marik.

They waited for a few more moments at the seats up top started to fill. In the viewing section, Ronnie walked up with his hands in his pockets. "Grandpa!" He looked to see Kaleb waving at him. Ronnie went to them and took a seat. "Your mother let you attend?" The triplets nods. Kalmin chuckled. "She said they were old enough to make their own decisions when it came to this." "I suppose she has a point. Just know that she doesn't like outbursts, you may hear some things you don't like but you must stay calm." The boys nodded at him. Ronnie sniffed and looked over to see Deliora walking over wearing a red velvet mermaid shoulder open long sleeve "Where were you?" Deliora smiles "I bumped into Dracula." The boys frowned rolling their eyes slightly. Kalmin chuckled. "I see…" Ronnie says leaning back into his chair.

Dracula walking in with wearing a black tuxedo, he walked up to the queens and kings and bowed "good evening kings and Queens" Jess smiles "Hello Dracula welcome" Zach looks up at him and bows his head "Lord Dracula" Oichi simply sighs softly while Fredrick held back a comment. "Lord Dracula…" Marik only chuckled.

Dracula looks at Seth and Zach with a chuckle "King Zach, King Seth… after the trail we will have a meeting of what I've been hearing" Zach frowns slightly but bows his head "Of course my Lord" Dracula smiles and bows his head and walks off to the top. Zach reached out and took Seth's hand and squeezed it slightly while rubbing his thump against Seth's hand. Seth pats his hand. "This will be fine." He moved his hand from Zach and folded his arms. 'Will my questions get answers…'

At the top, Thalia and Oberon was sitting down next to the boys. Thalia giggled as she cuddled Kaleb who was blushing. Oberon chuckled at her. They heard high heels coming to them and they turned to see Azraelle wearing a beautiful black dress. Ronnie eyes widen slightly. "Azraelle?" Azraelle smiles. "Hello silly wolf. I heard this is where the family was sitting? May I join you all?" Oberon rubbed his chin. "Azraelle? Shouldn't you be sleeping?" Thalia gasps slightly and nudged him. "Don't be rude…" Azraelle smiles softly. "I only recently woken. I wanted to see the witch who has cheated death many times. Given she was the one who woke me from my slumber, but that's a story for another time." She sat on the other side of Ronnie and looked down to see Marik who was looking up at her. She waved only to get a smirk from him. "Jay!" "Ayden" the boys looked up over and their eyes widen to see Aerith and Ebony.

Aerith was wearing a stunning lavender Leaf A-Line Spaghetti Straps, lavender heels and a Purple and Black Rhinestone Pageant Tiara. Ebony next to her was wearing stunning yellow dress that was short in the front showing her legs and a tail in the back with silver heels and gold and topaz tiara on her head. They both walked over to them with a chuckle. "You both look nice." The boys said at the same time. Kaleb sighs shaking his head as Thalia continue to cuddle him. "Dear you're going to suffocate him." Oberon says. The girls sat down next to Jayden and Ayden holding their hands.

Down below, Jess sat there waiting. Zach tool her hand making her look up at him "Rick came to me and I will help Jess… Me and Seth both can see on how this curse is effecting him" Jess sadly smiles at him "Yes I know… I already knew the bond between him is no longer there… I don't feel like he truly loves me… I think Levis is in there trying to help also…" Zach lifted her hand and kissed it "He is, I had private talk with Levis through Rick the other day" Jess nodded with a soft sigh. Zach let go of her hand and glanced at Seth's with a pout 'I wanted to keep holding his hand….'

Once everyone was in, Oichi sighs out and raised her hand stopping the chatter. She stood up and looked around. "To all of my guests here today. I ask that you hold back your remarks on the individual that is being trialed today. I have invited you all here so that you may see for yourself what happens when you defy the royal families and cause massive chaos all around. This trial is set as a warning and an eye-opener to everyone. I am done playing nicely and my patience has grown very, very thin with the attack on my family and my mercy has all dried out. So please save all of your comments until the end."

She sat back down. "Bring in the prisoner." She commanded. The door opened and Terry and Mikey walked in with Valeriea walking in front of them. She had Rex's cuffs on and her mouth was still covered. In the top to the side Liam was leaning against the pillar watching her. 'Oh Val…even as a dark witch I would have still loved you…'

Valeriea was wearing a blue prison outfit and her hair had been cut short. When she walked to the middle of the floor the cuffs activated and forced her to her knees. She looked up and her eyes widen slightly at Fredrick who smirked at her.

Oichi closes her eyes and then opened them. "Dark witch, Valeriea Tamisra…you are here today to be trialed on your crimes not only against humanity but the paranormal as well. Your crimes are long to where it would be impossible to call them all out. Some of those crimes included the various attacks you made on me, my family and friends, launching a large-scale attack on my home, Conspiring to kill my first husband Sakamoto Ruska, which resulted in my oldest son's ashes being stolen, Kidnapping my sons, Destroying my Grandfather's Kingdom Okami, Destroying the island of Jento, Destroying Switzerland sacrificing many souls to capture the grim reaper who has been released, taking the life of my second husband Orochi…and creating a deadly virus that you unleashed on the world, preventing humans from procreating. You have many, many more crimes against you and today you will pay the ultimate price for them." Jess narrows at Valeriea "Not to mention taking Grace Moonfall's life and following Phoenix Shadowlena"

The mask on Valeriea's mouth was removed and she sighs out. "Am I supposed to be afraid little pup? You think sitting up there with those beings will put fear into me? A laughable thought." Oichi narrowed her eyes. "No, I don't need to put fear into you. I know better then anyone that it will not work, and it would be a waste of my energy. Before I even get to your sentence, we have questions for you but I doubt you would give straight answers." Valeriea was silent.

Seth looked at her. "Back then…why did you curse my mother…" Thalia frowned hearing that. Valeriea chuckled. "Easy…your grandfather wanted to prevent her death. She was dying from the attack by Xavier, and he would have done anything to save her even risk his life." Seth narrowed his eyes. "What deal did you make with him?" Valeriea smirked. "To bring him back when he died." Seth eyes widen. "Of course, I couldn't make much on my word since I was killed back then but don't worry, I'm sure he will find a way to come back to the living." Seth bit his lip slightly and grips his arms.

Fredrick leans on his arm. "How do you reverse the curse on the virus you spread." Valeriea sighs. "Even if I knew how I wouldn't tell you. By the time you figure it out you will be too late. The human populations will never recover." "Mhmm…and what did your hatred path lead you? You took an immortal potion, and you lost your magic. Doesn't that make you just as human?" Valeriea shrugs. "Spin it how you want boy. Your bloodline took the only person who meant the world to me. She gave her life to protect me, and it was at that moment I gave into darkness. A path I enjoy walking. If it led me to kill every single one of you then I will gladly do it again, over and over." Fredrick frowns. "You shouldn't blame what my ancestors did! We are not all ruthless like they were. Yes, they killed innocent women who they thought was witches, but they didn't know what they were doing. In this world, this era, humans and witches live peaceful lives and yet you still hold all that hatred in your heart." "And it will forever remain. I hate all of you and I will never forgive you. My heart burns with darkness and it will be put out so spare me your words." Fredrick grips his fist.

Oichi reached out and grabbed his fist. Feeling her touch, he relaxed his hand. Oichi left her hand on his. "You are right, there is no need to ask you anything. You will never stop and to prevent you from doing any harm I have grant a way to finally force you to rest whether you like it or not." Valeriea frowned at this. "Before I give you your sentence would anyone like to say anything? The floor is open." Zach shook his head "I have nothing…." Emi frowns "I.. have nothing… I wanted to bring up my brother's death but she did not cause it…. her so called teacher did"

Jess closes her and sighed "I have nothing else to say on what charges she has, its been clear on what she is charged for… you dabbled in the dark arts, made your soul and heart dark and black. You have to much hatred in your heart you can never love again. Tell me do you even feel love Valeriea? You may have said you loved your ex-demon lover and daughter but you dark witches are all the same, there are nothing put pawns, a source of power for you to have. Just like Phoenix did to my niece when she curved into Ebony's back and used her like a battery…" Ebony up top took Ayden's hand with a frown.

"I don't have time for love…my love was taken when my sisters were ripped away from me by the morals of you selfish humans." She chuckled. "You, Regina, and Grace peace the same sicken crap. The first thing out your mouth is some crap about love? You must one of those types who think true love overcomes everything?" She laughed, shocking them. "You are a bunch of damn fools. Relying on love and morals. That is why you are always one step behind. What has love ever done? It only causes pointless issue and gives people like you and easy excuse. It's so pathetic." Jess bites her lip "excuse me?"

Valeriea smirks and looks at Oichi. "Let's use an example. Tell me, did true love help when you lose both of your husbands' little pup?" Oichi eyes twitched as she gripped her seat cracking it. "Did love help you when I brainwashed your son, forced him to kill your beloved, and then used him as my vessel? Oh? Did love help when I kidnapped your other sons and tortured them and had my fun?" Up top Jayden and Ayden grit their teeth in anger. Thalia held Kaleb closer to her as she felt him shaking. Zach growled "Enough dark witch" Jess narrowed darkly at her "shut up…."

Valeriea tilts her head to the side, returning to her blank look. "Will love help you…when you die by the hands of your own son?" Oichi bit her lip in anger. "Love is stupid and only idiots believe love can solve anything." Jess's eyes widen and glowed Green has Valeriea screamed was on the ground from Jess's anti-gravity magic "SILENCE!" Jess shouted has her voice echoed with magic. "you will hold your tongue, I think I had enough… Oichi sentence…?"

Oichi had her head down. "Release your magic on her…" She says. Jess frowned. "But…" "Now!" Oichi says slightly snapping. They frowned at her, but Jess released her magic and reached out to grab Oichi's hand, but as soon as she touched her hand, she saw a quick flash of dark pink eyes glare at her. Oichi moved her hand away. "Sorry…I didn't mean to snap…" Jess frowns and looks away "I know"

Oichi lets out a sigh "Since there is nothing else, I will give you your charge. Valeriea Tamisra. I hear by conclude you guilty on all changes. And since you cannot die, your sentence will be the removal of your own soul." Valeriea eyes widen and for the first time Oichi saw a shock look on her face. She chuckled, crossing her legs under her dress. "You were a little sloppy witch, the crystals you left behind after your attacks, the ones in Terry's and Rue's chest. We now can use them against you."

Seth hand was on his chin with a shocked looked as well. "That would certainly put her down for good…" Fredrick nods a bit taken back as well. "Yes, removing her own soul. Now she will understand the pain she caused others." Marik chuckled. "A remarkably interesting thought. I'd like to know how this will be done." Jess grinned "Oh my this is lovely" Zach chuckles "I would love also how this is will done" Emi blinked "Queen Oichi how will this be done?"

Oichi looked at Mikey who walked up. "Rex…" Behind Valeriea the floor opened, and a medium size crystal floated up. It was being held by white chains made by Raphael. "This is a combination of all the crystals you left behind. Your soul crystals…" Valeriea narrowed her eyes. "And how do you plan to remove my soul. Your aura powers aren't magic and even if you did remove them with magic, there is nothing stopping my soul from breaking free and coming back to me." Oichi chuckled. "Thanks to Rex's new upgrades, he has acquired a special skill just for you and since they are your soul crystals, I doubt even your soul can break them." Rex appeared behind Valeriea. He held up a small orb. "Goodbye Valeriea. I will make sure you never wake." Valeriea glared at Oichi full of hatred. "This isn't the last of me pup. I will be back. I have died plenty times before this. When I come back the humans will not be the ones facing my wrath. It will be you. I will come for you!"

Oichi nods to Rex who activated the orb. Valeriea gasps as she felt her soul leaving her body. It was sucked into the orb. There was a mini pulse that pushed them back slightly. Valeriea's eyes went blank and her body collapse on the floor. Rex walks over to the crystal and holds out the orb. He pushes it into the crystal. They watched the crystal turn black. "Not surprising…her soul is as black as they come…" Oichi says.

Rex then places his own hands into the crystal like he was molding it. Within a few seconds he pulled his hands out and the crystal shattered into 7 black crystals that floated around him. He turns back to Oichi. "The deed has been done." Oichi nods. "Allow me to explain. The reason why I wanted you all here was because we all need to do our part in keeping Valeriea seal. Using her own magic against her, Rex was able to steal some of her magic and take her soul. He has broken it into seven parts. One for each of you. Without her soul well…she is just a immortal lifeless body. I hope you will do well to keep these shards of her soul in a safe place. It was the only way I could think of for now."

The crystals floated over to the Kings and Queens. Oichi and Fredrick grabbed theirs. Marik opened his hand and placed his within a small fire barrier. Jess takes one with Manon's light shielding it. Zach took out has did Emi.

"What will you do with her body?" Seth asked as he grabbed his piece of the crystal. "Her body will be sealed in an unknown location. A place with top notice security. Along with my uncle Axel. She will be safe there." "Mikey, you can take her." "I will get things ready." Mikey says as he picked up Valeriea's body. Marik sighs mentally and looked away. Up top Liam bit his lip and put his head down. 'My sweet Val…'

Oichi stood up. "This concludes the trial of the dark witch Valeriea. Even though we still have many enemies out there it is safe to say we have down of the threats against us. I thank you all for attending and being a witness to this day, please be careful on your way going him."

After the meeting, at Zach's manor in the living room. Zach and Seth sat next to each other holding hands. Dracula was upstairs checking on Hannibal, Zach sighs softly "you think he will yell at us…?" Seth shrugs, not really caring.

"No I will not yell" they turn to Dracula has he walked in and sat down next to him "Now then lets discuss on what I have been hearing. I read on Terra leaving you Seth… I'm sorry, I hope you are alright?" "It's a hard pill to swallow…" Seth says with a sigh.

Dracula hummed "and now I'm hearing you two are now together?" Zach nodded "Yes we are my lord" Dracula looked at Seth for an answer which made him nodded "Yes my lord" Dracula smiled "My about time" they both blink at him making Dracula chuckle "Selena said you two were truly mean to me, in the first time in vampire history two kings fell in love with each other" Zach flushed and smiled looking at Seth who flushed.

Dracula stood up and stepped to them reaching behind him and handing them both black velvet boxes "Go on open them" Zach and Seth blinked but they both opened them at the same time to see identical rings. Sterling silver with a large Garnet Stone and small Garnet stones "These are courting rings for the two vampire kings that are soul mates, they were made decades ago by Selena because a saw a future with two kings fall in love and combining the two vampire kingdoms" Zach smiled softly "Thank you my lord…"

Seth looked at the rings and sighs. "I was going to write it up in a formal letter…but since you are here, I will just say it." The looked at him. "I am stepping down as King…and passing the title to my father…" Zach's eyes widen "Really?" Dracula raised an eyebrow "really know?"

"I've lost to much and it has become tiring…honestly…if Terra wouldn't have made the first move, I would have not picked her or Zach…instead I would have gone to the reaper and use my soul to trade for Sakamoto's so that Oichi could finally be happy once more…I have always wanted to give my kingdom to my grandson and he was ripped away a month before I was stepping down…" Zach held his hand "Oh babe…" Dracula sighs softly "I see, well then send me the papers and I will crown your father has the new Ruska king, even though he was married into the family not really by blood he will be crowned king"

"Thank you…" "However if you and marry Zach… mhmm you will became king or Queen" he smirked making Seth's face turned red, Zach chuckles at him. "A topic that will be discussed at another time." Taking his hand away from Zach. "If you will excuse me, I need to go the papers in order for my father." He says quickly walking off. Zach pouted and Dracula chuckled but sighs "Your father will wake up soon" Zach eyes widen "Really?" Dracula nodded "yes, well congrats on your relationship with Seth, I know you two will treat each other good. I must take my leave" he says disappearing.

It was a day before the triplet's birthday, as usual the city was getting ready for the moon festival. After the trial, Oichi locked herself in the room and refused to see anyone, not even her children. She had order them to leave the castle and to not return. The quads were with Danni and Frank and the twins were sent to Jess. She just wanted to be alone. The death of Orochi was taken its toll on her.

In her room, Oichi was laying on the bed, on her stomach in her night gown. Her eyes were blank, and she looked exhausted. She had been having horrible headaches and lot of angry outbursts. She just didn't want to deal with this anymore. She closed her eyes to try and get some sleep. As she closed her eyes she heard laughing. "It's time little wolf…now your all mine…"

Deerward, who had been sleeping within her, gasps as he was suddenly forcibly pulled out her body. His eyes widen as the window's opened and Ikari floated in. "Hello father…" "Ikari…don't do this please my daughter." "Shut up! I asked you not to seal me and what was the words you told me? Oh right! This is for your own good." He held up her hand glowing pink. "Well father…this…is for your own good. Watch as your lovely vessel tear's part her very own city, killing everyone in her way!" She shot a pink orb at Deerward who coughs out. His body disappeared and returned to his statue. A pink barrier appeared around it, sealing him inside. Ikari chuckled. "Now…for the main treat…" She walked up to Oichi and put her fingers on her head. "Poor little queen wolf. You lots your dear husband…you must feel angry. It's okay…feed off of that anger. Give into it the madness." She says as Oichi's eyes open. Her eyes fully pink.

Ikari chuckled as Oichi got up. "Kill…everyone…" She mumbled. She walked to the door slowly and opened it. The guards who were posted looked at her. "Lady Oi-…" Before they could speak, Oichi sliced their heads off with her aura claws. Blood splattered on the wall hitting her face. "Kill…everyone…" Ikari floats over to her and wraps her arm around her. "Yes my dear pup. Kill everyone who gets in your way. If you can't be happy, then no one deserves to be happy. The fates have abandoned you. They will never allow you to be happy. Never." Oichi shook as she let out a loud scream.

Her scream alert the guards and they came running. Oichi screamed more as she put her hands over her face. "Stay…away from me!" She yelled at the guards. The guards stopped looking at the bodies on the floor. Oichi tears holding her head. "You will die! Please don't come near me!" Her second form was forced to appear. "Don't try to fight me!" Ikari says. The guards glared at her. "Halt! Get away from our queen!" Ignoring Oichi's pleads they rushed to protect her. Ikari smirks. "If you would have listened you all might have lived today." She says gaining control over Oichi.

Oichi dropped her arms and rushed to the guards with her aura claws out. Left and right she started to slaughter them all. One guard got away and ran to get help. Ikari laughs as she floats in the air. "Yes, Yes! Kill more! Kill them all!"

School had just got out because of a half day, Jess was still in her classroom walking around locking her all her cabinets for the day when she felt something, Manon appeared next to her "Jess, Oichi has lost control" Jess's eyes widen "Ikari… is controlling her?" Manon nodded "I must leave you and help my brother… help the students get into the bunkers" Jess bites her lip "I understand Manon" Manon nodded and kissed for her forehead and disappeared. Jess breathes softly and her clothes transformed into her military outfit and rushed out of hallway. taking out her phone to call Rick and Chida in a video call, they answered right away, Jess didn't make them answer when she shouted "Get home know! take the kids to Ravenswood know! Ikari has taken over Oichi!" Their eyes widen at her "Are you for real?!" Rick shouted, Jess nodded "GO now!" she shouted at them again hangs up, as she ran through he halls and see Raphael "RAPH!" "Please do not yell while I am right here." Raphael says with a sigh.

"Manon told Ikari took control of Oichi we have to get the students in the bunkers now!"

Raphael frowns. "You are going to send the children into a panic when your yelling like that. Calm down…If the students panic you will cause a bigger issue then what it needs to be." He says shaking his head. Jess frowns at him.

Raphael taps his beads. "Rex, we have a level 5 emergency. Please inform all the teachers to escort the students into the emergency bunker. Calm and collect please." "Understood." Rex says sending out the notice to the teachers. He then walked over to a hall way speaker and click the button. "Attention" His voice rings out through the school, dorms, and the outing area. "All students and faculty members, we are at a level five alert. Students who are still within the school area and within the dorms, please make your way down to the underground bunker. Do not panic and do as we practice." He sighs and bushes off his uniform. "I'll go active the barrier you help with the students but please….no yelling…No panicking." He looked her up and down. "Then again your going to make them worry because your dressed like that." He chuckled and quickly rushed off to his office to active the barrier. Jess growled and rushed off to help the students.

In the castle Oichi was running through it killing anyone who stood in her way, The castle was on full alert. Terrance and Dragrath were rushing to the hall. They were joined by Paxton who got the alert. "What the hell is happening!?" "All I know is that Oichi is going on a killing spree! We have to keep her in the castle. Paxton alert the town. Grab Rinko, Jun, Jackal, Yain, and Bracken. Get them into the underground bunker. No one comes in or out of their homes!" Paxton nods and turns down another hall. "Dragrath, we keep Oichi inside the best we can." He nods.

They soon caught the smell of blood and the screaming of a maid. They ran around the corner to see the body of the maid drop. "Lady Oichi!" Terrance called out. Oichi turned to Terrance. His eyes widen to see Oichi's eyes were pink. "Oichi?" She ran to them quickly and kicked Terrance in the gut. He got the wind knocked out of him. Raising her fist, she punched Dragrath through the wall. She ran to Terrance with her fangs and claws out ready to tear him apart. Terrance grabbed her and pinned her down to the ground. "Oichi stop this! Come to your scenes!" Oichi growls and using her strength to overpower him. She flipped him over and started to hit his face over and over. It was then she was grabbed by a tail and flung away from him.

Terrance sat up holding his bleeding face. "What are you doing?" Dragrath says. "You can't hold back against her." "I know…I know…shit." Terrance says wiping the blood from his lip. Oichi, now on all fours, her aura spikes out. "Kill…everyone…kill everyone!" Her aura claws launched out grabbing Dragrath, but Terrance jumped away. She pulled Dragrath close to her and slammed him into the ground, she dragged his body against the wall before tossing him behind her. "Enough playing with them…let's go rampage outside." Ikari says appearing beside her. Terrance narrows his eyes. "You! Keep away from her!" Ikari smirks as Oichi took off running. "Oichi! Dammit! Rex emergency lock down! Now!" "Understood!" The windows started to lock and shield down. The doors were locked however, Oichi was much too fast for that and ended up breaking through the side window. She rolled away and hops up. Her eyes glowed pink as she ran to the city.

"Now my pet, rampage! Let your true form be free! Engulfed the city with terror and fear! Ahahaha!" Oichi's body glowed pink as Ikari feed her some of her madness energy. She started to run on all fours and as she did, she turned into her final wolf form, growing larger and larger than her original form. Thanks to Ikari feeding her energy into her. She leaps up over the city, casting a dark shadow. People were already scattering, trying to get to the underground bunkers. Oichi landed down right in the middle square and let out a loud roar. Her aura lashes out destroying buildings left and right. She started to rampage in the city, destroying and killing anything and anyone she saw. A fire was started by her tail and started to slow spread. Guards rushed her trying to sub do her but she quickly killed them with ease. In her large wolf form that was nothing they could do.

By Deerward's statue, Manon stood there frowning at it. Althaia stepped next to him wearing a stunning goddess outfit of white, gold and diamonds "Father" Manon breathes softly "Althaia we most save your uncle before Ikari has her way even further" Althaia nodded "I can feel her all over… it's unpleasant…." Manon nodded "Yes it is, now are you up for the task? You all healed and cleansed" Althaia nodded "Yes, what of the divine realms?" "I have blocked the pathways for now until we dealt with this matter… lets began Althaia" she nodded has they both put up their hands towards Deerward's statue has rows of golden divine circles hovered over his statue, they began to go through the many locks to unseal Deerward.

In the city, the alarms rings out, people fled to the underground bunkers. Guards tried to keep Oichi distracted to prevent her from harming the citizens. They had specialized rope and heavy nets made with wolf Bain to hopefully weaken her. The demon Guards were in the sky flying with the net as the vampire and wolf Guards shot out ropes to pin her down. The human Guards led people away. Once she was half pin the demon Guards dropped the net on top of Oichi. She started to struggle and frail causing more building to collapse. Terrance arrived along with Dargrath. "Bring out the tranquil!" Terrance told them. "But those have potion in them. We can harm our Queen!" A guard says. "The potion will only weaken her. She is being controlled by a evil force! We have to stop her before she burns the city down!" The Guards frowned looking at Oichi. Her eyes glowed pink in rage.

Suddenly before they could pull themselves together, she let out a massive howl that pushed everyone back. She shook off the net and went back to destroying everything in her way. Jess finishing helping the other teachers in getting the students in the underground shelters safely. She closed the doors and walked off to find Oichi "Oichi…" 'I need to stop her…' she says then rushing off to find Oichi.

At Ross's and Kaci's, a strong barrier was over the house. Azaya up in her room looked out of the window. She frowns "Sem…" Obsidian next to her "you worried about your love my lady?" Azaya nodded "I wish I can leave and be with him… I hope he is alright" Obsidian rubs her back "I know but your still grounded…. Which I think you have learned your lesson already and unground you" Azaya frowns "I fucked up so I don't think he'll ever let me be ungrounded…"

Half of the city was in ruins now, the citizens were underground. Ronnie was out running towards Oichi with Danni and Chaz behind him. "Danni go home!" "No! That's my daughter! I won't let her rampage through her own city!" Chaz sighs. "Let it go dad. She's not gonna listen." Ronnie growls. They spot Oichi running her head into a store. Chaz jumps on the building running on the roof. He jumps up and grabs Oichi by one of her ears. "Sorry about this little niece." Using her wolf power, He tilts her head to the side. Both Ronnie and Danni rushed to her legs and kicked them from under her, allowing Chaz to flip her over.

Ronnie using his aura claws pins her down. "Oichi! Listen to me. You need to snap out if it." They heard laughter. Looking up they saw Ikari floating. "She can't hear you former wolf Kong. She's in to deep. All of her rage and sadness from the loss of her husband has pushed her right into my arms." She smirked at Danni. "My aim was to grab you." Danni glared at her. "You've been poking around in my head but don't underestimate my will power." Ikari crossed her arms. "I don't…and if it wasn't for that bothersome witch letting your angel boy toy go, I would have had you."

"Release my daughter before I kick your ass!" Danni yelled pointing at her. Ikari frowned and glowed pink. Oichi's wolf eyes widen and using her aura she broke free of Ronnie. She charged at Danni with her fangs baring. "Oichi no!" Chaz yelled out. Danni eyes widen until Ronnie pushed her out the way. Oichi's fangs pierced his chest and neck. "Dad!" Danni cried out. Ronnie coughs out blood and Oichi shook him like a rag doll before throwing his body into a building. Her mouth dripped with his blood before turning to Danni. She shook in shock. Ikari chuckled darkly. "Now…who is going to kick who's ass?"

At the house the triplets built, Aerith was frowning at the boys has they banged on the barrier. Ebony sniffed "Ayden… please top… Rex wont let us leave.." Aerith nodded "Jay… please… I wanna help too but we can't"

The twins were sitting on the roof. Alisha holds her knees close to her chest. "We should have stayed with mama…" She tears. "She's been hurting so much and we didn't even help her cope…" Alisha hugs her. "Mom wouldn't let us get close. She didn't want us to see her sad like when Daddy passed…"

Down below, the boys were still punching the barrier. "Rex open up! Let us out!" Jayden yelled. "As I said…No…" Rex chimes out. "You will put yourself in harms way and get in the way." They grew angry. "What!?" they yelled. Kaleb storms past Ebony and Aerith. He walked up to his brothers and pushed them both in the back of the head. "Shut up!" He yelled. Jayden and Ayden drop down holding their head. "Are you both stupid? Ikari is the deity of anger and madness. You think you could do anything to help mom right now when you both were corrupted by her already? You will get in the way of everyone…all we can do is sit wait…" Jayden and Ayden bit their lips. Aerith and Ebony frowned, Ebony got up and walked over "Ayden listen to Kaleb we need sit here and be safe…" Aerith got up and walked over "yeah I'm sure mom and the others will calm her down"

In the city, Danni was laying on her side unconscious with a deep cut in her shoulder. Chaz was on the roof also unconscious with a slash to his chest. Paxton and Terrance were trying to slow Oichi down, but nothing was working. Paxton flew around her but was caught. Her aura wings cut off one of his wings and head butted him through a house. Yain, Bracken and the others were helping anyone who got caught in her rampage. "Oichi…please don't make he have to hurt you…" "Maybe that's what you should do." Terrance turned to see a portal opened up and Marik walked out. He stretched and chuckled at Oichi. "If you won't come at her then I'll lean a helping hand. You should go help those who got hurt." Terrance bit his lip as Marik jumps down and walks to Oichi. She growls at him. Her fur nearly dyed in red from the blood she had spilled.

"My, my, my. Looks like your mind has been taken over. This isn't the way I wanted to fight you but for now this will do." He chuckled rotating his shoulder. "Now, let's play a little." Jess jumped up "Oichi! Your stronger then her! Fight her!"

Ikari sighs as she sits on a broken roof. "Oh please…your pathetic cries won't save her." Jess narrowed as lightning appeared around her "I will stop you from corrupting Oichi any further!" Ikari chuckled. "You're welcome to try but this is all the wolf Queen anger built up. You think she was happy in this life? Who would be when they are cursed like her? All I've done is allowed that anger to come to the top and once she kills you and everyone around here, her mind will break and she will forever be my pet." Jess growled at her "Shut up!"

Marik ignored them both and rushed Oichi with flames in one of his hands. In a quick motion he hit Oichi with a large rise of flames. Ikari hums out. "Not holding back, I see. Trying to kill her?" Marik chuckled as Oichi shook his flames off. She ran at Marik using her aura to claw at him left and right. He laughs moving out the way. "Come now, you can do better." One of her claws grabbed his ankle and lifted him up. She slammed him into a burning building then through a glass store. She then lifts him up and slammed into the ground, creating a large crater. ess's eyes widen and grips her fists as a change light appeared in her hands, she rushed towards Oichi and appeared next to her move her hands up and with a powerful light Oichi was pushed back away hitting the wall hard. It did not affect Oichi much, only made her angry. Ikari laughs. "Tear them apart!" Oichi howls out causing a massive shockwave, blowing away most the area around her. Her aura lashed out hitting everything in range.

Marik recovered from his hit and moved out the way just in time when her claws came towards him. Using his flames, her hit her claws on pair. Rushing her his flames grew larger. He slides under her belly and hits her hard lifting her feet off the ground slightly. She coughs out blood and falls to her side. Marik smirks darkly. "As I've heard. Your belly is your weak spot in your wolf form. He held his hand out. "If you do that you will kill her." Ikari says chuckling. Marik simply laughs as he set Oichi on fire. She howls and whimpers like a wounded animal as her body was covered in flames. His flames shot high in the sky and Oichi stops whimpers. Black smoke covered her body. Jess frowned "Lord Zi try not to kill Oichi!" "If she falls from this then she isn't the queen I admire." He says chuckling.

Suddenly at out the blue, Oichi back in her second form rushed out heading right for Marik. Flames still on her body, her claws outstretched, she swipes at Marik slitting his throat. She screams out in rage as she pushes him down and stabs in him in the chest. She claws his body over and over in rage creating a puddle of blood under him. Jess eyes widen in shock. "Oichi stop!"

Oichi turned to her and stood up. She was still in her night gown, though it was worn, torn, and covered in blood. Her eyes went back to normal. Tears rolled down her eyes as she looked at her bloody hands. "…I'll be alone…forever…the fates cursed me…why…why do I have to suffer…why can't I find happiness to…What did I do wrong…" Jess bites her lip "You didn't do anything wrong Oichi!"

Jess was suddenly hit by a pink orb. She fell on the ground and looked up to see Ikari float down. She wraps her arms around Oichi. "You poor thing. It is true. You will never find true love. It must make you so angry. You little friend over there has two lovers and who know how many suitors under her little thumb. She gets to find a love and what do you get? Just heartache." "Oichi don't listen to her!" Jess yelled getting up.

Oichi grits her teeth. "Give into your anger Oichi. Come back to me, feed into my madness. Lose yourself." Oichi's eyes widen as Ikari took control again. Her hands dropped and her head turn to Jess. Her eyes glowed pink. "Now…kill her. Make her the source of her your anger." Ikari smirked. "So witch…what will you do now…will you kill your dearest friend?" Jess's eyes widen and tears fell down her face "Stop this! Enough already!"

Ikari chuckled. "Would it help…if I told you that Oichi here has killed not only her own people but her grandfather as well? She bit him and pierced his chest and neck. Her mother and uncle lays lingering on life and death." Ikari smirked holding Oichi. "And even if you save her…her heart will be crushed by all the death she has caused. Are you sure you wish to cause her that much pain." Ikari pushed Oichi to Jess. "Bring me her head." Oichi bares her fangs. "Kill…Kill…" Jess's eyes widen "Oichi..!"

Oichi ran to her with her claw infused with her aura. Jess was dodging left and right sending magic spells at her left and right, Michael had dropped down "Jess!" with a in a splint second Jess turned her head to him when Oichi's claws slashed her side. To Michael's horror seeing and hearing Jess's horrifying screams. Michael's anger hit him and rushed and with angelic light it pushed back Oichi as she screamed being pushed back and angelic barrier went around her and him.

Ikari laughs holding her sides. Oichi got up and glaring at Michael. "Hold on little pup. We have other matters to attend. With the witch out of the way we can continue your rampage. Come along." Oichi did as she was told, swaying side to side. Two guards ran by and she ran at them, cutting their heads off. Ikari smirked floating off behind Oichi as she killed more people. Michael frowns and turned to Jess who was on the ground holding her side has blood as gushing out from claw marks. Michael knells down lifting his hand the bleeding had stopped but for some reason it would not heal making Michael worry.

At the statue, Manon and Althaia chanting and chanting then Manon's eyes widen has the statue glowed. It started to crack, shattering Ikari's barrier. Deerward's statue then shatter and a bright light shine making Manon and Althaia to step back. Manon saw the child version of Deerward with his eyes closed, he then grew in a teen version, then a young adult, and then his adult version. Then that form then started to crack and then shattered as a rush of divine power. A warm and bright light shines and a different form appeared in front of them. Deerward's hair was now black and long. His skin was flawlessly peaching with golden eyes. His deer antlers were shorter and leaner. He was wearing a pure white and black jacket and pants suit. The light shines down and he looks down at his hands. "This form…it's been awhile…" Manon smiles "Haven't seen this form in forever" Althaia chuckles "Uncle you look good"

Deerward squeezes his hand feeling his power fully returned to him. He looks at Manon and Althaia. "Thank you for freeing me…I must go to Oichi now…" He down sadly. "I only hope that she doesn't hate me for leaving her alone for a while now…" Manon frowned "I don't think she will ever hate you brother"

Deerward closes his eyes and his body shines brightly, taking off in a form of green light. He quickly heads to Oichi. Manon turns to his daughter "Head to your island and start healing the infected areas from that evil being" Althaia nodded and disappeared, Manon feeling Jess in pain flew off to go back to her.

In the city, Oichi was holding a guard by his neck. She snaps it and drops his body. "Head to the underground bunkers. Let's kill everyone and burn this place to the ground." Ikari says chuckling. "I'm gonna have to stop you there." Ikari and Oichi stopped to see Marik walking to them. His wounds had already heal and he looked unfazed. He chuckled spitting out a little blood. "Oh how I wish I could make you my mate." Oichi's eyes twitched. "As much as I enjoy your rampage, I need to stall you for just a second longer." Ikari frowned and then gasps as she realized her barrier was broken. "No!" A green light appeared and knocked Ikari away from Oichi. Oichi turned around to strike the light bit it was caught by a fist.

Deerward's body appeared from the light and he held her close. He frowned looking at her. "What has she done to you my lovely wolf queen…" Oichi struggles but he holds her gently. "It's time to rest now." Oichi felt the energy leave her body. Deerward cups her face. "Your so deeply drawn into her. You don't belong to her Oichi…I wish though…you belonged to me." He leans down and kisses her gently yet passionately. Oichi's eyes widen as all her anger disappeared. Her eyes turned back to normal, and tears started to flow from them. Deerward pulled back and cups her face. He smiles gently. "You…came for me?" Deerward smiles gently as she closed her eyes, passing out. He picks her up. "I will always come for you my lovely wolf…" He walks over to Marik. "Hold her for a moment." He puts Oichi into his arm.

He then turns to Ikari who gets up. "How!? You shouldn't have been able to break through!" Deerward frowns. "How dare you lay your hands on her. I've had enough." Ikari's eyes widen looking at his form. "That form…" Deerward held up his hand and with a flick of his wrist he blasted Ikari away. She screamed out falling to the ground. "I do not understand my daughter…" Deerward walks to her. "I don't care that you are the deity of madness. I did not care that you started wars and had people worshiping you. What I did not approve of was you abusing your power and causing unwanted issues." Ikari threw pink orbs at him but he swats them away like flies. "Enough." He traps Ikari in a barrier. He then held up his hand and spilt her from Silver. She gasps as Silver was placed in a different barrier. "NO! NO! DAMN YOU!" "It is clear that it may be best to destroy you then to seal you. As you said, madness and anger will always be here. You can feed off the world and eventually you will be back." Ikari glared at him. "I hate you! I HATE YOU! WHY CAN'T YOU JUST DIE!" She bangs on the barrier.

Deerward was hurt by her words. Marik walked up with Oichi. "I have a solution If you do not mind listening." Deerward turns to him. "…Speak…and do it quickly…"

Manon appeared next to Michael was panicking "angel!" Michael turned to him with tears "She's not healing…" Manon frowned and knelled putting his hand over, the claw marks where slightly giving off dark aura from Ikari making him bites his lip "yup… no magic or divine power can heal these… take her to the Julian and Zach know Michael" Michael nodded picking her "Are you gonna return to her?" Manon breathes softly "later I need to go to my brother" he says and flew off, Michael's wings came out and flew Jess to the clinic in such speed.

Deerward hums out listing to Marik. "I see…that would be fitting." Ikari growls. "What! No! I do not agree with this!" "You speak as if you have a choice. So pick, Death or the anti-Christ plan…" Ikari bit her lip. "You both will pay for this. I swear this! I will be back father and I will destroy you and your little wolf…." "Mhmm…" He closes his hands trapping Ikari into a pink crystal. It came to his hand. "I will trust in this plan of yours for now." Marik nods. Deerward sighs and then closes his eyes. A green pulse started to flow from his body, cleansing the land from Ikari's aura. He opened his eyes and sigh. "Hand her to me." Marik nods and handed Oichi to him. He gave the pink crystal to Marik. "Thank you. If you will excuse me, my goal is done here." He opened a portal and walked through it. Deerward signs and looked at Oichi. She still had Ikari's aura pulsing through her. 'She will need a deep cleansing…' "Forgive me for leaving you…" "Brother" he turned to see Manon "Ikari had Oichi attach Jess and she won't heal from Ikari's powers, what did you do with her?" "I will explain later in due time, just know she will not bother us for a while. Bring Jess to the back of the castle. Normally I would bring them to the hot springs, but I had the monkey build an underground hot spring with the healing elements. She will need at a day of soaking and a few days of rest." Manon nodded "of course, see down there in a bit" he said disappearing.
(others)

In the ER, Jess was on the table has Zach was stitching the claw marks, Jess had passed out from blood loss and pain. Michael was sitting down holding her hand. Zach finishing up "There all stitched up" Michael smiled "Good…" Manon appeared making them both jump "Thank you zach for stitching her up but I need to take her to an underground spring of healing" Michael frowned and stood up "But" Manon looked at him making him shut up right away. Zach nodded "I understand" Manon smiled and walking over to Jess and picked her up gently and teleported away with her.

Underground, Deerward was standing in front of the hot springs. He had changed Oichi into a beautiful white dress. Lulu was standing beside him. "Lord Deerward…I am sorry, I…" "There is no reason to be sorry." He bends down and places Oichi in the hot spring. "How long does she need to soak?" Lulu asked. Deerward sighs. "I do not know…Ikari has been effecting her for a while now. I will keep watch of her mental state, but I need your help with her physical body." Lulu nods. "Of course, Lord Deerward." Manon appeared in the room making Lulu jump slightly, Manon walked to the spring and in the water putting Jess down in the spring water. "Jess's soak won't take long, Oichi however… will take for a while brother… you love her, don't you?" Deerward frowns and then sighs. "I do…I never thought I would fall in love with a vessel…" He rubs his face. "It frustrates me a little…"

Manon chuckles "don't hold that love in brother, make her yours… After all deities can mate with humans has, I have not forbidden it" Deerward bit the back of his nail. A trait he unknowingly picked up from Oichi. "That is the frustrating part brother…I can tell…she's closed out her heart to love and it seems it may only be a matter of time before Orochi is reborn into this world…I've also heard from the reaper that he may bring back Sakamoto one day…what day that will be I do not know. I love her so dearly, but I don't think I can complete…" He sigs sadly. "I really want to hold her right now…"
