Authors Notes: My Gods, an update! and two chaps at that! I'm actually still alive! However, my muses are almost maxed out. I guess it's time I introduced them, before letting them go on break.
Kalliope the Mewthree: Hi. I'm the muse for this fic and a few others. Bye.
Bakura Wolfie: Grrr?
Eh... Guess they don't wanna talk... any way, usual disclaimers apply. Sorry to Ran and Myst Lady for not getting that AshxHotaru fic started, but my poor muses can't think right now.
Disclaimers.: Usual ones apply.
Isis no Mugen

Brock looked from the gaggle of absolutely gorgeous girls, to Ash, to the dagger Ket had just pushed in front of him, and made a decision. He grabbed the dagger and shoved it in a pocket, then stood up and bowed formally to the girls. "My name is Brock, ladies, and I'm honored to meet you."
Ash's eyes widened, and Pikachu theartically clutched his heart and keeled over on top of Eris, who, not being used to Pikachu's, chomped down on Pikachu's tail.
"OWW! PI! KA! CHU!"
The only ones who escaped the Thunder attack were Luna, Aretemis, Salsa, Ket, and Serena's unnamed Clefairy. Eris momentarily resembled a ball of blackened fur and enlarged eyes before toppling over with all four legs straight up in the air. Pikachu smirked, then looked at the downed population of the room and sweatdropped.
"I think I got overexcited..."
Ket rolled her eyes, then waited for everybody to get up. Salsa, not being used to Pokemon of any type, simply made sure Taketo was still alive.
Ash stood up slowly, automatically checking to make sure the thunder hadn't killed anyone. He recalled Eris, then walked over and knelt next to Taketo, placing two fingers on the smaller boy's forehead, and concentrated.
Salsa scrambled back with a yelp as Ash's hand glowed a pale, silvery purple, the energy flowing over Taketo gently, undoing the burns and muscle paralysis. Ash stood up a bit shakily, moving over to Gary to repeat the procedure. Hotaru, who had already recovered, started working on the senshi, keeping her eye on Ash. If he collapsed, they'd have to move the meeting elsewhere. Karma allowed the senshi to meet in her place, but she might kick them out if Ash fainted.

Lily flipped her thick ropes of hair over her shoulderws and scowled up at one of her helpers. Neith scowled back down at her, his bottle glass green eyes furious. They might be on the same side, and lovers on occasion, but that did not preclude their absolute loathing of each other.
"I am not, I repeat, NOT, going to go grab Isis as bait, Lilith." Neith grumbled, his voie sharp and cold as his eyes. He had the talent of warping space, as well as paralyzing his opponenets with a blast from his hunting horn.
Miranda, a Renegade who agreed with Lily about humanity's worth in the Universe, wathed the lover's latest quarrel with amusement. How the two had ever come together for something other than fighting about Isis and Duma, fo Miranda refused to think of him as Ash or Hyperion, was truely beyond Miranda. Still, try to cut in and they'd both rip you to shreds.
"Neith, she's just a beginner with no real power." Lily was cajoling now.
"No. If I kidnap her, I'll have to kill her, as she's the only one who can draw Hyperion out of Duma. She did it once, she'll do it again. And you know I've sworn never to kill a woman." Neith was doing the stony face bit, not giving an inch to Lily's pleas. He was good at that.
"Then I'll kill her, or Miranda can do it."
"Hey!" Miranda objected to being suddenly brought into the plan simply as a convient executioner. She didn't like killing.
Especially when it was family.

Gary stood shakily, still reeling from seeing Ash heal someone like those crackpot messiah's were supposed to do. Only Ash's healings were real, and Gary'd been the recipiant.
Misty also stood, less shakily because she was used to being thundershocked. She looked over at Ash, annoyed.
"Ash, you never answered me. Who is Duma, and what does he have to do with you?"
Ash sighed, his words ringing like crystal into the suddenly silent room.
"Misty, I AM Duma, or at least his prison.
