This chapter will be a bridging device for the next chapters, so it's going
to be rather short. I hope you enjoy it though.
The Cell
Chapter 01
Ryu, Nina, Rei and Momo were busy setting up their camp for the night. Rei and Ryu constructing the large tent for them all to sleep in, while Momo and Nina were getting a fire started to cook the meet from the animals they had caught earlier that day.
The mood of the group was rather bleak; having lost the other members of the group in such a difficult way was not easy for any of them.
Rei had put on a big show of bravado earlier on when they had caught the desert animals for their dinner. He talked like he was really charged up.
However, Momo figured that he was just putting on a brave face for the others, but figured that he was really hurting deep down. When that purple- haired kid showed up and started telling Ryu that the Brood were evil and had to be destroyed. It must have broken his heart to have the Teepo, who was like a brother to him, to be twisted up inside with guilt and self- loathing. It was horrible when they were all forced to kill him.
Worse yet, Garr turned into a statue and then the final blow was dealt when Peco left them to go communicate with nature and try to save the world from the desert.
The idea of killing a "family" member was terrible to Momo, she'd lost her mom first and then her dad, so she understood what is like to feel so very alone. She guessed that it was hard on Ryu as well, but not nearly as hard as it was for Rei- who had known (and raised) him for much longer. So, she decided to take it easy on him for a while. at least till he was feeling better.
In a rather fitting surprise, Rei sat down across from her, not making eye contact with her as he did, though.
Rei looked at the ground with a somber expression on his face.
No words passed between them as Rei cut and prepared the animal meat for roasting.
Ryu and Nina walked over and sat down between them and began eating with them.

Drakkus descended upon the sleeping foursome in the night like an arrant thief. He looked around and glided towards the closed door of the tent. The wind blew hard against him in the darkness, but it had now effect on him do to the fact that his strong inner-darkness rapped around him like a cloak, concealing his true form from mortal eyes.
He easily slipped in through the gap between the flaps of the tent. He floated in and looked around at the sleeping "heroes".
"Unworthy scum, death's too good for you." He thought to himself. He then scanned air for distinctive energies in the room that were emitted by their negative emotions and inner thought and memories.
He smiled as he quickly picked up countless "threads" and "links" to dark secrets and long lost regrets.
"Hmm, yes, this will do nicely. I could make an epic nightmare with all of their despairs and regrets. There's so much material at my disposal." He commented to himself. "It is a pity that I must be expeditious in my preparations. but no matter, I'll break them completely and destroy their wills." He added, still thinking to himself.
Drakkus began building up his power while his victims slept. He noticed that the cat-like man and the woman with the rabbit ears both had such similar "threads of hardship" that almost seemed to lead to the same points. He could almost swear that they shared a common. thread. He ALMOST regretted that they would never find each other. almost. He rather liked the idea that they had just the right kinds of mutual energy to heal the distinctive emotional wounds they suffered. Such a pity!
~End of Chapter 01~
Just a short chapter for now, but the next four of them will be longer and more in-depth. Thanks for reading.
P.s. You might be able to tell that I blatantly favor Rei/Momo fics, well, that aspect may play into the story later.
