Bartok Xiaoyu
By Shad_Lüv & Somic
"So, you and Blade are sisters," said Somic.
"NO! She was just saying that to create a cliff hanger from the last chapter, what do you think?!" cried Shad_Lüv.
Lynx bowed her head and curled into a small tight ball. There was a bright flash and a dragon exactly the same size and height of Blade Xiaoyu, except pink and green instead of purple and green stood where Lynx had once been.
"I always did like big girls," said Somic.
"Will you shut up!" cried Shad_Lüv. He placed a hand on his glowing heart and morphed into a Tyrannosaurus Rex, except his was green with blue stripes, and a dark blue glowing heart on his chest.
"Well, Somic," said Lynx, gazing down at him.
"Well what?" said Somic.
"MORPH!" cried Shad_Lüv and Lynx together.
"Oh right," said Somic, looking extremely pathetic. He curled into a ball which grew three times in size, when he uncoiled himself he was a long blue snake-looking thing with yellow spikes leading down to his tail which was made up of thin feathers that swished about, he had two dark brown horns on his head, two beady yellow eyes with small black slits. And he had long thin arms and legs, with sharp white claws.
"Now, follow me and if you make one noise, you're cooking your own tea tonight," hissed Lynx.
Lynx crept slowly and cautiously, around the black and blood red dragon, she slowly moved out of the bushes and up behind the dark one. She was about to attack him from behind, when something as black as the night swooped down at her from the trees. She dodged to miss it but collided with the black dragon. It slowly turned it's head to her, raised it's claws and was about to swipe her when Somic coiled his long snake-like body around it's chest and squeezed hard, suffocating the animal. Somic continued to hold him, until the darker dragon swooped down again and sank its teeth into Somic. Somic uncoiled himself in pain. He looked up to see what looked like a small dragon, black as the night sky, with long skinny arms and legs, a long tail which was exactly like a lion's tail, it's wings were arched and pointed, bones stuck out of it's wings. It had two sharp pointing deadly looking horns too; it spotted Somic, and flew down in an attack position. Lynx dodged out the way, Blade was still trying to fight off the other creature. Shad_Lüv morphed into a Demon Bat, took aim and flew towards the other one; he collided with him bringing him down to the ground. The Demon Bat called to the large dragon.
"Bartok! Get out of here, we need to return," it cried.
The other Dragon Demon-like thing morphed back into his Echidna form and walked away, as if he had just strolled in through the park. And walked away with the Demon Bat.
Lynx, Somic and Shad_Lüv all morphed back to their standard formation.
"Somic! You alright?" cried Lynx. She rushed over to him and knelt beside him. The Demon Bat had bitten him in the arm, two fang marks were left.
"I feel Grrrrreat!" cried Somic leaping into the air; he walked a few paces, and then fainted.
"SOMIC!" squealed Lynx. "Blade! Shad_Lüv! Get over here!"
Shad_Lüv helped Lynx to lift Somic onto Blade's back, Lynx climbed up too and laid Somic against her chest, Blade began to walk back towards there home. Shad_Lüv turned away from them as they walked away. He looked back to where they were, they had gone. He glanced around, and then walked in the same direction as Bartok and whom he thought might be Shadowbite.
Lynx carried the unconscious Somic into the living room, and laid him on the floor near the warm fire.
"Okay I need someone to do mouth to mouth with him," she said, after she'd checked him over using her first aid book, which Myzt had bought her for Christmas. "Myzt?"
"No way!" she cried.
"Lola?"
"I only kiss Sonar,"
Soniv Xeroi starts waving his arms around in the air. "ME! ME! PICK ME!"
"Julia?"
"I only kiss other gothic bunnies,"
"Ed?"
"I ain't gay,"
"Shadow?"
"What would Sonia think?"
"Shadow?"
"I'm a Rabbit, he's a Hedgehog. You get what I'm saying?"
"LYNX I'M HIS BOYFRIEND I SHOULD DO IT!" cried Soniv jumping around.
"Sanic?"
"I'm going out,"
"Aurorai?"
"Echidna's don't go well with Hedgehogs,"
"Sonar!?"
"I'm busy doing some work!"
"Well, someone needs to do it!" cried Lynx.
"Why don't you do it?" asked Sharleen.
"I did his bandage," said Rouge.
"I checked his mouth for obstructions," said Lynx.
"Ladies, Ladies, Don't argue please!" cried Jin.
"You do it!" cried Myzt.
"I'd rather kiss a donkeys ass than him," said Jin.
"LET ME FUCKING KISS HIM!" screamed Soniv, grabbing Lynx and shaking her, angrily.
"Alright, alright!" cried Lynx, stepping away from him.
Soniv lay down on top of Somic, and connected his lips to his. He stayed there for a few moments, whilst everyone was throwing up, enjoying every bit of it. He moved his tongue into Somic's mouth, and began exploring through his mouth. Not that there was anything to explore, he's done it twenty odd times already. He put his hands on the back of Somic's head and pulled him slightly closer to him, whilst he smothered him with his tongue. He finally let his mouth disconnect, and sat back. Nobody moved.
"Well don't stop now! I was enjoying it!" cried Somic.
"YOU BASTARD!" screamed Lynx. "You had me worried that you were dead,"
"Sorry, I was taking a nap," said Somic.
"GGGGGRRRRR!!!!!" growled Lynx, not at all happy.
Shad_Lüv crept slowly and steadily round the corner and watched as the Demon Bat and Echidna walked into a very normal looking house on a very normal street, on a very normal day. It didn't look too, suspicious. Well, not to the naked eye. But maybe if you weren't looking through the naked eye, it might look completely different. He thought for a moment. 'Should I go back to our place, or should I go check it out. I can morph into anything, so if I morphed into a fly, they wouldn't notice me. But if they don't see through the naked eye. Who knows what they see.' He thought a little longer. Then morphed into a Demon Bat, and walked up to the house.
Later, Lynx, Soniv Xeroi, Sonar and Myzt, are all playing scrabble. Jin, Aurorai, Sanic, Ed, Shadow, Julia, Lola, Sharleen and Sydney have gone for a long walk. And Somic's, ummm, somewhere in the house. He's wanking himself in bed.
It was Lynx's move still. And Soniv was beginning to get impatient.
"Oh c'mon Lynx, It's been seven minutes since the last move!" he moaned.
"Don't rush me, I'm trying to concentrate," Lynx picked one of her letters and placed it on the board. Making the word 'at'
"Is that it?" asked Soniv.
"No that's at," said Lynx.
"Seven minutes for at?" said Soniv.
"That's what happens when you try to hurry me," said Lynx, taking another letter out of the bag and putting it with the rest of them.
"Okay, let's count it up shall we. A one point, T one point. That's two points," Soniv gazed at Lynx in his most annoying way.
"Sonar, pay attention, it's your turn," said Lynx, moving the board round for him to see. He looked at where Lynx had moved then began to put all his letters on the board. He began counting up his points, and then turned to Soniv. "Soniv, it makes three hundred and two," he said. Soniv looked at Sonar's word. "What kind of word is Q-A-T?" he asked. "Qat," said Sonar. "Arabic noun that comes from our noun cat. A shrub that is found in Asia and East Africa, it's leaves are used for decoration or are taken and used in tea for the stimulate effect," "Qat," said Soniv. Sonar nodded. Soniv spotted the dictionary near Lynx. "Pass me the dictionary will you Lynx," he said. "Why bother you know he's always right," said Lynx. "PASS ME THE DAMN DICTIONARY!" cried Soniv. Lynx sighed and threw it at him. Soniv started flicking through the pages. "I'll give you Qat, in a minute Sonar. This time I'll prove you wrong, bunny boy. You'll see," he had reached the 'Q' section in the book. He stared at the page for a moment. Before throwing it behind him, crossing his arms over his chest and growling. "Stupid dictionary," "Does that mean the game's over then?" cried Myzt, grinning from ear-to- ear. "No," said Lynx sharply. "Then I give up," said Myzt, turning her grin upside down into a half- frown. "You can't give up," growled Lynx. "Is it so wrong to do something together for once?" "Yeah, we've been doing things like this for more than five years now," growled Soniv, still annoyed that he hadn't proved a nine-year-old rabbit, with bigger brains than Albert Einstein and Thomas Edison's put together, wrong yet, when it came to playing simple ordinary games together. "Yeah, suffering," growled Myzt. "You won't know what suffering is unless you put down your tiles," Lynx growled back at her. Giving Myzt one of her, if you don't do it, I'll kick crap outta you looks. Myzt looked at her tiles. "Okay," She took her foot off the corner of the table, leaned over to the table and arranged her tiles on the board. "B-O-R- I-N-G. Boring! That's nine points, your turn Soniv," she moved the board round for Soniv, then leaned back in her chair, and replaced her foot on the corner of the table. Soniv looked at his letters and started humming the Japanese theme tune for Sonic X. "Oh hurry up Soniv," said Lynx. "Entire galaxies have formed and died in the time it took you to spell, 'at'," he growled back. "I had bad letters," said Lynx. "A bad workman blames his tools," said Soniv. "Just remember that for later today then," said Lynx. Somic walks into the kitchen moving in slow motion. "What's he doing I'm trying to concentrate," growled Soniv. "I'm moving in slow motion. Reckon I'll live longer this way," he said. "Don't count on it," said Soniv. "Hang on. Why didn't you tell me you were playing scrabble?" asked Somic. "Because you cheat," said Soniv. "Me?" "Yes you. The last time you played scrabble you put down seven blanks, there's only two blanks in a game of scrabble, so how d'ya explain that?" "Tip-ex!" cried Somic. "Soniv, you're only saying all this, because you're stuck," said Lynx. "I'm not stuck," said Soniv, about to place a letter on the board. "No don't put that there," said Somic. "Stop it, go away," said Soniv. "Som, stop bothering Son," said Lynx. "Okay," said Somic, and walks in slow motion to Lynx. "What letters does he have?" she asked. "And here we have the famous, Soniv Xeroi," said Somic, mimicking an annoying commentator at a sports match. "Ooooh, battling violently against the worst rack of letters I've seen in my life!" Soniv is about to put down a letter on the board. "He lines up another go. Oh dear he seems tense. I think I can detect a vein throbbing in his head he appears to be turning red," "OH FUCK OFF SOMIC YOU'RE DOING BY FUCKING HEAD IN!!" Soniv screamed at him, then stormed out of the room. "Where are you going, we're having fun," Lynx ran after him. "You always do this when I'm winning!" cried Sonar, and flounced out of the room. "Thanks Som! I owe ya," said Myzt. "Yeah, £5 wasn't it?" Somic held out his hand, and Myzt gave him a fiver.
Shad_Lüv knocked three times on the door of the house, which the Echidna and the Demon Bat had gone into. No answer. He knocked again. This time the door opened. Shad_Lüv peered inside to see a large room. To his left and right, were large wooden doors. In front of him a grand staircase leading up, then turning off left and right leading upstairs. He stepped inside. The door suddenly slammed shut, making him jump.
"Hello?" he called. No answer. Maybe this wasn't such a good idea. He walked back over to the front door. He turned the handle. It wouldn't budge. He tried the other way. Nope. The door had been locked. He heard something swish by him. He put his back up against the door and looked around him. Nothing. The house looked so small from outside. But inside it was humongous. Shad_Lüv began taking notes on his surroundings. Well, the wallpaper wasn't exactly in perfect condition, they were peeling and you could see moss growing in some places. He decided to search the place for clues, to whether or not, there was anything actually happening there. He walked towards the stairway, and slowly began to walk up them. He turned around when he reached the top to see opposite him on the wall above the front door, the heads of different Echidnas. He walked up the staircase leading to the right. More heads of Echidnas. What was this leading too? Was he really here? Was this all fake? He looked behind him at the walls. The Echidna heads were all gone. He turned back the way he was walking and jumped back as he saw a mirror. It was no ordinary mirror either. It was gold with pink warps inside. He looked into the mirror to see Demon Bats inside it. He leaned forwards to touch the surface of the mirror. He reached out with his hand, he touched the glass. There was a bright flash of green, he felt himself being sucked in. Like the time when Soniv sucked his tail into the vacuum cleaner. He tried to stop himself going in, but it was too late. He was sucked into the mirror, within thirty seconds. The mirror remained where it was for a few seconds. Then in a puff of grey smoke it vanished.
"Okay," said Lola Bunny. "Us bunnies and rabbits, will go shopping, and you guys go to the arcade, and have fun. Meet you back at the green statue of Sonic in three hours. Lola, Julia, Ed, Shadow and Sharleen (Who is actually a squirrel but there you go) went shopping. Whilst Jin Ishikawa, Aurorai, Sanic and Sydney went to the arcade.
Sydney was playing on the latest video game installation. Tekken Force. A game where you create your own character, then use it to battle. It was always fun when Soniv Xeroi played it. He created characters like; Deformed tit girl, Fat assed mug man, Soniv the sexiest hedgehog in the world and Deformed dick man. (The guy with the biggest ever cock) Sanic, was at the latest make-up stall, they were always outside arcades, so the guys could have fun whilst the girls checked out make-up. She was currently purchasing the latest red lipstick, which could last a week before it came off. Jin looked around for Aurorai. He spotted her standing on a low wall, her crossbow in her right hand, an arrow in her left. She was looking towards the sunset. Jin walked towards her. He climbed onto the wall beside her. He looked in the same direction. "So," he said, trying to start a conversation. "What ya looking at?" "The sunset," she said. Aurorai never really talked much. "Wanna, come with me on a walk?" asked Jin. "Sure," she said. She put the arrow back with the rest of them in a small, long, thin basket that hung on some kind of belt over her shoulder. Then placed her bow, over her shoulder, so she could still hold it with one hand. She took Jin's hand and they began to walk down the street. Jin began trying to make a conversation once more. "So, do you like sunsets?" he asked. "Yes," "Like going for long walks?" "Yes," "Like talking a lot?" "No," "So, where d'ya wanna go?" "To the beach, to watch the sunset, sit beside you," "Want an ice cream?" "I don't have any money with me," "I'll buy you one," "Okay," she said shyly, blushing. They walked for about another half an hour, before arriving on the beach. Aurorai found a nice rock to sit on; she sat and waited for Jin to come back. He came back shortly after with two ice creams. "Wasn't sure what flavour you liked, so I got you white strawberry," he said giving it to Aurorai. "White strawberry's my favourite," she said. Jin sat beside her, licking his ice cream. He put his arm around her. They sat there licking their ice creams, happily watching a beautiful sunset together. Jin turned to Aurorai. "Ummm, Aurorai?" he asked. "Yes Jin?" "Would you go out with me?" She nodded, slowly. "Can we book a hotel room tonight?" "Sure," said Jin. She obviously didn't want the others to know about something. Something she only wanted him for. "Shall I call Lynx and tell her first?" "Let me," she said. Jin gave her his Cell/Mobile phone. She dialled in their home number. It began to ring. Someone picked up the phone. "Hey, this is Soniv Xeroi speaking, how may I divert your call?" "Can I speak to Lynx please?" asked Aurorai. "Sure, stay tuned," there was some noise in the background. A door slamming, a moaning sound as if someone was screwing someone else. And then Soniv's voice. "Lynx, phone!" A bit more shuffling about. Then Lynx had the phone. "Hello?" she asked. "Hi Lynx, it's me. Aurorai," "Oh, hi Aurorai. What's up?" "Is it okay if I stay at a hotel tonight?" "Sure! Which hotel are you staying in?" "Seaside Resort," "I'll send Shad_Lüv down with some money, okay?" "Okay," "See you," "Bye Lynx!" "See ya!" She put down the phone. "Well? Are ya allowed?" asked Jin. "Yeah," said Aurorai. "Okay, let's go," Jin linked arms with Aurorai, and the duo set off to the Seaside Resort.
Lynx walked into the living room and put the phone back. She went back into the lounge and sat on Soniv.
"Hey, Somic was there first!"
"Have you seen Shad_Lüv?"
"No,"
Lynx got off him and went upstairs to find Myzt. She walked into Myzt's bedroom without knocking, to find her shoving a dildo up her shag hole. She looked relaxed for once. But when she spotted Lynx in the doorway, she jumped, flinging the dildo somewhere, and started being her usually pissed off self.
"Can't you knock you stupid twat!" she cried.
"Have you seen Shad_Lüv?"
"No, now get out my fucking room! NOW!!" she screamed at the top of her lungs as Lynx shut the door.
Lynx went back downstairs and into the living room, to see Somic watching Queer as Folk, a video of gay boys having gay sex. She sat down beside him, and put her leg over his.
"You seen Shad_Lüv?" she asked.
"No, but can I have sex sometime with you?"
"I'll think about that," she said.
She went to get the phone. Then walked into the Kitchen. She sat on the counter and typed in a few numbers. Then pressed the dial button. It started ringing.
Sydney was still in the arcade, chatting up a yellow hedgehog. When his mobile started ringing. He told the yellow hedgehog to hold on a minute. He turned his back to her, pulled out his Mobile/Cell phone and answered his call.
"Hello?"
"Sydney! Have you seen Shad_Lüv?" it was Lynx.
"No," said Sydney.
She hung up.
Sydney turned back to the yellow hedgehog.
"As I was saying, my babe,"
"You snotty green piece of shit!" she cried and walked off. She thought Lynx was Syd's girlfriend, and he was trying to two-time her. Lynx dialled another number. Sanic picked up her phone. "Hello?" "Sanic, you seen Shad_Lüv?" "No," Lynx hung up and dialled another number. Lola, Julia, Ed, Shadow and Sharleen were all at the checkouts when Julia's phone started ringing. She picked up the caller. "Hello?" "Julia, it's Lynx. Get back here A-S-A-P, it's an emergency," she hung up. "You guys, we've gotta get back," she helped get together the rest of the shopping, and then began to walk back home.
About half an hour later, Lola, Julia, Ed, Sonar, Sharleen, Shadow, Somic, Soniv, Myzt, Sanic and Sydney. Were gathered in the living room with Lynx.
"So what's the big deal?" asked Lola.
"None of us have seen Shad_Lüv," said Lynx.
"So?" said Myzt.
"He might be in danger!" cried Lynx.
Myzt shrugged her shoulders.
"Okay. Lola, when did you last see Shad_Lüv?" asked Lynx.
"This morning,"
"Julia?"
"This morning,"
"I remember!" squealed Myzt.
"Where?" asked Lynx.
"Remember, Jin was being beaten to death by another Echidna. We went to go and save him. And so did Shad_Lüv,"
"Hey, I remember that too. We rescued Jin and Myzt and I took him back here," said Soniv.
"Shad_Lüv, you and I morphed into dragons to fight off the other Echidna who had morphed into a version of Blade, who was fighting him off. We saved Blade Xiaoyu and I got injured,"
Blade Xiaoyu poked her head through the open window of the living room. "And then Somic fainted, after he morphed back. You and Shad_Lüv morphed back too. You and Shad_Lüv lifted Somic onto my back, and then you climbed onto my back as well. And the last thing I remember of Shad_Lüv was that he was looking in the direction that the Demon Bat and the black Echidna had gone. I thought he followed us back behind me,"
"HE'S GONE OFF AND FOLLOWED THEM TWO!" screamed Lynx. "Blade! We've got to find him! He could be in danger!"
"Hey, you ain't going by yourself sister," cried Somic.
"If he goes, I go too," said Soniv.
"He's my best buddy, I gotta come too," cried Sonar.
"The rest of you stay here, he might come back, if he does call me," said Lynx. She, Sonar, Somic and Soniv jumped onto Blade's back, and set off to find Shad_Lûv
Shad_Lüv landed on something soft, and squishy. He looked around him. He was in a totally different room. Or a different planet. He was right, to the naked eye the house was like any other normal one. But through the eyes of a Demon Bat, it was very, very, different. He stood up on his hind legs and dusted himself off. There was a long passageway, leading to a small light at the end. He began to walk down the passage. He could feel cold air blowing through his Demon Bat fur. Why did he come here, he could have just gone back home with Lynx, Somic and Blade. What if he was stuck here forever? He heard a low grunting noise; he walked a little faster to the light. A voice inside his head was speaking to him. 'Step away from the light, don't go into the light' It was like that movie he saw a while ago, called Poltergeist. The little girl in it was sucked into the television screen, and spirits and stuff came out of the television screen. Shad_Lüv sometimes wished that their TV would suck Soniv and Myzt inside it, and spit out a million pounds from who wants to be a millionaire in exchange. But that could only happen in fairy tales. He reached the door. And knocked three times.
This time, someone came to the door. It was the Demon Bat that was with the black Echidna, trying to kill Jin.
"Yes? How may I help you?" he asked.
"Ummm, I'm a Demon Bat,"
"I can see that. What do you want?"
"Well, I was looking for a job, and someone recommended I try here,"
"Who told you to come here?"
"A brown hedgehog,"
"There are no such thing as brown hedgehogs,"
"Did I say brown? I meant to say, ummm, I meant to say,"
"You meant to say, what?"
"The hedgehog was a red one,"
"Very well. What's your name?"
"My name?"
"No stupid. Your parents' names. What d'ya think?"
Now he was in for it, he hadn't thought of a name yet. If he said Shadow Lüve, they'd know who he was.
"C'mon, c'mon. Would you hurry up! I have business to do,"
"It's Balthazar," Shad_Lüv said quickly.
"You'll do," the other Demon Bat led Shad_Lüv through, and into a small chamber. The black Echidna was there so were two other Demon Bats, both black, one had a face like a Draik, and the other looked more like a cross between a Scorchio and a Shoyru. There was a blue and purple one, it looked like a female. And a red lava looking one.
The Demon Bat that he was being led by bowed before the black Echidna that he had met earlier.
"Bartok," he said. "Balthazar wishes to become one of us,"
The black Echidna gazed down at Shad_Lüv.
"Balthazar, eh?" He looked Shad_Lüv up and down. "Not a normal colour are you?" he said. "I haven't seen many Demon Bats that are green with blue stripes. And blue glowing hearts," he reached out to touch Shad_Lüv's heart.
"Sorry, you can't touch that," said Shad_Lüv, covering it up with his black vest.
"Why not? Bat, you can sit back down now,"
The Demon Bat, that had led Shad_Lüv here, morphed into a jet black Echidna, and took his seat, beside Bartok.
"Because, if you touch it, you lose your memory, and then within a week, you'll die," Shad_Lüv said off the top of his head. He was going to mess up somewhere.
"You're hired," a seat appeared behind Shad_Lüv, who reluctantly sat down, it moved so he was at the table with the rest of them.
"Now, back to today's event," said Bartok. "It has come to me that this Echidna with robot features should be destroyed. All animals on this planet should not be robotical in any way. A more powerful force may be controlling them. If we don't treat it soon, we could all be eliminated. So I have gathered you all here to come up with ideas to destroy robot animals. If not, we will surely die,"
They were talking about Jin Ishikawa. An Echidna with a metal arm. He had to do something to save his friend.
"Excuse me, Bartok sir?" he asked.
"Stand Balthazar, and tell us what you think,"
Shad_Lüv stood up. "Maybe, we could invent some kind of chip and insert it into J- ummm, this robot Echidna. Then we could take control of him, and our enemies would lose control. Therefore we could use him against the others who are using him against us. And if we make more of these chips, and he makes more robot animals, we can put more chips into them, and eventually the enemy will back down, and flee,"
"I like you style," said Bartok. "Any questions?"
The blue and purple Demon Bat raised its hand.
"Blade-slasher?" said Bartok.
"What if the enemy has some kind of chip in the bots already that stops us from getting them onto our side?"
"Then we'll have to create a force field of some kind around the chip, that can destroy other chips, in a matter of seconds, the quicker they are destroyed the quicker we gain power, the quicker he loses his bots,"
The Draik-faced Demon Bat and the Scorchio/Shoyru faced Demon Bat, began applauding Shad_Lüv.
Will Shad_Lüv find a way of getting out? What is the special thing Aurorai wants to do with Jin Ishikawa? Will Lynx, Blade, Somic, Soniv and Sonar find Shad_Lüv?
By Shad_Lüv & Somic
"So, you and Blade are sisters," said Somic.
"NO! She was just saying that to create a cliff hanger from the last chapter, what do you think?!" cried Shad_Lüv.
Lynx bowed her head and curled into a small tight ball. There was a bright flash and a dragon exactly the same size and height of Blade Xiaoyu, except pink and green instead of purple and green stood where Lynx had once been.
"I always did like big girls," said Somic.
"Will you shut up!" cried Shad_Lüv. He placed a hand on his glowing heart and morphed into a Tyrannosaurus Rex, except his was green with blue stripes, and a dark blue glowing heart on his chest.
"Well, Somic," said Lynx, gazing down at him.
"Well what?" said Somic.
"MORPH!" cried Shad_Lüv and Lynx together.
"Oh right," said Somic, looking extremely pathetic. He curled into a ball which grew three times in size, when he uncoiled himself he was a long blue snake-looking thing with yellow spikes leading down to his tail which was made up of thin feathers that swished about, he had two dark brown horns on his head, two beady yellow eyes with small black slits. And he had long thin arms and legs, with sharp white claws.
"Now, follow me and if you make one noise, you're cooking your own tea tonight," hissed Lynx.
Lynx crept slowly and cautiously, around the black and blood red dragon, she slowly moved out of the bushes and up behind the dark one. She was about to attack him from behind, when something as black as the night swooped down at her from the trees. She dodged to miss it but collided with the black dragon. It slowly turned it's head to her, raised it's claws and was about to swipe her when Somic coiled his long snake-like body around it's chest and squeezed hard, suffocating the animal. Somic continued to hold him, until the darker dragon swooped down again and sank its teeth into Somic. Somic uncoiled himself in pain. He looked up to see what looked like a small dragon, black as the night sky, with long skinny arms and legs, a long tail which was exactly like a lion's tail, it's wings were arched and pointed, bones stuck out of it's wings. It had two sharp pointing deadly looking horns too; it spotted Somic, and flew down in an attack position. Lynx dodged out the way, Blade was still trying to fight off the other creature. Shad_Lüv morphed into a Demon Bat, took aim and flew towards the other one; he collided with him bringing him down to the ground. The Demon Bat called to the large dragon.
"Bartok! Get out of here, we need to return," it cried.
The other Dragon Demon-like thing morphed back into his Echidna form and walked away, as if he had just strolled in through the park. And walked away with the Demon Bat.
Lynx, Somic and Shad_Lüv all morphed back to their standard formation.
"Somic! You alright?" cried Lynx. She rushed over to him and knelt beside him. The Demon Bat had bitten him in the arm, two fang marks were left.
"I feel Grrrrreat!" cried Somic leaping into the air; he walked a few paces, and then fainted.
"SOMIC!" squealed Lynx. "Blade! Shad_Lüv! Get over here!"
Shad_Lüv helped Lynx to lift Somic onto Blade's back, Lynx climbed up too and laid Somic against her chest, Blade began to walk back towards there home. Shad_Lüv turned away from them as they walked away. He looked back to where they were, they had gone. He glanced around, and then walked in the same direction as Bartok and whom he thought might be Shadowbite.
Lynx carried the unconscious Somic into the living room, and laid him on the floor near the warm fire.
"Okay I need someone to do mouth to mouth with him," she said, after she'd checked him over using her first aid book, which Myzt had bought her for Christmas. "Myzt?"
"No way!" she cried.
"Lola?"
"I only kiss Sonar,"
Soniv Xeroi starts waving his arms around in the air. "ME! ME! PICK ME!"
"Julia?"
"I only kiss other gothic bunnies,"
"Ed?"
"I ain't gay,"
"Shadow?"
"What would Sonia think?"
"Shadow?"
"I'm a Rabbit, he's a Hedgehog. You get what I'm saying?"
"LYNX I'M HIS BOYFRIEND I SHOULD DO IT!" cried Soniv jumping around.
"Sanic?"
"I'm going out,"
"Aurorai?"
"Echidna's don't go well with Hedgehogs,"
"Sonar!?"
"I'm busy doing some work!"
"Well, someone needs to do it!" cried Lynx.
"Why don't you do it?" asked Sharleen.
"I did his bandage," said Rouge.
"I checked his mouth for obstructions," said Lynx.
"Ladies, Ladies, Don't argue please!" cried Jin.
"You do it!" cried Myzt.
"I'd rather kiss a donkeys ass than him," said Jin.
"LET ME FUCKING KISS HIM!" screamed Soniv, grabbing Lynx and shaking her, angrily.
"Alright, alright!" cried Lynx, stepping away from him.
Soniv lay down on top of Somic, and connected his lips to his. He stayed there for a few moments, whilst everyone was throwing up, enjoying every bit of it. He moved his tongue into Somic's mouth, and began exploring through his mouth. Not that there was anything to explore, he's done it twenty odd times already. He put his hands on the back of Somic's head and pulled him slightly closer to him, whilst he smothered him with his tongue. He finally let his mouth disconnect, and sat back. Nobody moved.
"Well don't stop now! I was enjoying it!" cried Somic.
"YOU BASTARD!" screamed Lynx. "You had me worried that you were dead,"
"Sorry, I was taking a nap," said Somic.
"GGGGGRRRRR!!!!!" growled Lynx, not at all happy.
Shad_Lüv crept slowly and steadily round the corner and watched as the Demon Bat and Echidna walked into a very normal looking house on a very normal street, on a very normal day. It didn't look too, suspicious. Well, not to the naked eye. But maybe if you weren't looking through the naked eye, it might look completely different. He thought for a moment. 'Should I go back to our place, or should I go check it out. I can morph into anything, so if I morphed into a fly, they wouldn't notice me. But if they don't see through the naked eye. Who knows what they see.' He thought a little longer. Then morphed into a Demon Bat, and walked up to the house.
Later, Lynx, Soniv Xeroi, Sonar and Myzt, are all playing scrabble. Jin, Aurorai, Sanic, Ed, Shadow, Julia, Lola, Sharleen and Sydney have gone for a long walk. And Somic's, ummm, somewhere in the house. He's wanking himself in bed.
It was Lynx's move still. And Soniv was beginning to get impatient.
"Oh c'mon Lynx, It's been seven minutes since the last move!" he moaned.
"Don't rush me, I'm trying to concentrate," Lynx picked one of her letters and placed it on the board. Making the word 'at'
"Is that it?" asked Soniv.
"No that's at," said Lynx.
"Seven minutes for at?" said Soniv.
"That's what happens when you try to hurry me," said Lynx, taking another letter out of the bag and putting it with the rest of them.
"Okay, let's count it up shall we. A one point, T one point. That's two points," Soniv gazed at Lynx in his most annoying way.
"Sonar, pay attention, it's your turn," said Lynx, moving the board round for him to see. He looked at where Lynx had moved then began to put all his letters on the board. He began counting up his points, and then turned to Soniv. "Soniv, it makes three hundred and two," he said. Soniv looked at Sonar's word. "What kind of word is Q-A-T?" he asked. "Qat," said Sonar. "Arabic noun that comes from our noun cat. A shrub that is found in Asia and East Africa, it's leaves are used for decoration or are taken and used in tea for the stimulate effect," "Qat," said Soniv. Sonar nodded. Soniv spotted the dictionary near Lynx. "Pass me the dictionary will you Lynx," he said. "Why bother you know he's always right," said Lynx. "PASS ME THE DAMN DICTIONARY!" cried Soniv. Lynx sighed and threw it at him. Soniv started flicking through the pages. "I'll give you Qat, in a minute Sonar. This time I'll prove you wrong, bunny boy. You'll see," he had reached the 'Q' section in the book. He stared at the page for a moment. Before throwing it behind him, crossing his arms over his chest and growling. "Stupid dictionary," "Does that mean the game's over then?" cried Myzt, grinning from ear-to- ear. "No," said Lynx sharply. "Then I give up," said Myzt, turning her grin upside down into a half- frown. "You can't give up," growled Lynx. "Is it so wrong to do something together for once?" "Yeah, we've been doing things like this for more than five years now," growled Soniv, still annoyed that he hadn't proved a nine-year-old rabbit, with bigger brains than Albert Einstein and Thomas Edison's put together, wrong yet, when it came to playing simple ordinary games together. "Yeah, suffering," growled Myzt. "You won't know what suffering is unless you put down your tiles," Lynx growled back at her. Giving Myzt one of her, if you don't do it, I'll kick crap outta you looks. Myzt looked at her tiles. "Okay," She took her foot off the corner of the table, leaned over to the table and arranged her tiles on the board. "B-O-R- I-N-G. Boring! That's nine points, your turn Soniv," she moved the board round for Soniv, then leaned back in her chair, and replaced her foot on the corner of the table. Soniv looked at his letters and started humming the Japanese theme tune for Sonic X. "Oh hurry up Soniv," said Lynx. "Entire galaxies have formed and died in the time it took you to spell, 'at'," he growled back. "I had bad letters," said Lynx. "A bad workman blames his tools," said Soniv. "Just remember that for later today then," said Lynx. Somic walks into the kitchen moving in slow motion. "What's he doing I'm trying to concentrate," growled Soniv. "I'm moving in slow motion. Reckon I'll live longer this way," he said. "Don't count on it," said Soniv. "Hang on. Why didn't you tell me you were playing scrabble?" asked Somic. "Because you cheat," said Soniv. "Me?" "Yes you. The last time you played scrabble you put down seven blanks, there's only two blanks in a game of scrabble, so how d'ya explain that?" "Tip-ex!" cried Somic. "Soniv, you're only saying all this, because you're stuck," said Lynx. "I'm not stuck," said Soniv, about to place a letter on the board. "No don't put that there," said Somic. "Stop it, go away," said Soniv. "Som, stop bothering Son," said Lynx. "Okay," said Somic, and walks in slow motion to Lynx. "What letters does he have?" she asked. "And here we have the famous, Soniv Xeroi," said Somic, mimicking an annoying commentator at a sports match. "Ooooh, battling violently against the worst rack of letters I've seen in my life!" Soniv is about to put down a letter on the board. "He lines up another go. Oh dear he seems tense. I think I can detect a vein throbbing in his head he appears to be turning red," "OH FUCK OFF SOMIC YOU'RE DOING BY FUCKING HEAD IN!!" Soniv screamed at him, then stormed out of the room. "Where are you going, we're having fun," Lynx ran after him. "You always do this when I'm winning!" cried Sonar, and flounced out of the room. "Thanks Som! I owe ya," said Myzt. "Yeah, £5 wasn't it?" Somic held out his hand, and Myzt gave him a fiver.
Shad_Lüv knocked three times on the door of the house, which the Echidna and the Demon Bat had gone into. No answer. He knocked again. This time the door opened. Shad_Lüv peered inside to see a large room. To his left and right, were large wooden doors. In front of him a grand staircase leading up, then turning off left and right leading upstairs. He stepped inside. The door suddenly slammed shut, making him jump.
"Hello?" he called. No answer. Maybe this wasn't such a good idea. He walked back over to the front door. He turned the handle. It wouldn't budge. He tried the other way. Nope. The door had been locked. He heard something swish by him. He put his back up against the door and looked around him. Nothing. The house looked so small from outside. But inside it was humongous. Shad_Lüv began taking notes on his surroundings. Well, the wallpaper wasn't exactly in perfect condition, they were peeling and you could see moss growing in some places. He decided to search the place for clues, to whether or not, there was anything actually happening there. He walked towards the stairway, and slowly began to walk up them. He turned around when he reached the top to see opposite him on the wall above the front door, the heads of different Echidnas. He walked up the staircase leading to the right. More heads of Echidnas. What was this leading too? Was he really here? Was this all fake? He looked behind him at the walls. The Echidna heads were all gone. He turned back the way he was walking and jumped back as he saw a mirror. It was no ordinary mirror either. It was gold with pink warps inside. He looked into the mirror to see Demon Bats inside it. He leaned forwards to touch the surface of the mirror. He reached out with his hand, he touched the glass. There was a bright flash of green, he felt himself being sucked in. Like the time when Soniv sucked his tail into the vacuum cleaner. He tried to stop himself going in, but it was too late. He was sucked into the mirror, within thirty seconds. The mirror remained where it was for a few seconds. Then in a puff of grey smoke it vanished.
"Okay," said Lola Bunny. "Us bunnies and rabbits, will go shopping, and you guys go to the arcade, and have fun. Meet you back at the green statue of Sonic in three hours. Lola, Julia, Ed, Shadow and Sharleen (Who is actually a squirrel but there you go) went shopping. Whilst Jin Ishikawa, Aurorai, Sanic and Sydney went to the arcade.
Sydney was playing on the latest video game installation. Tekken Force. A game where you create your own character, then use it to battle. It was always fun when Soniv Xeroi played it. He created characters like; Deformed tit girl, Fat assed mug man, Soniv the sexiest hedgehog in the world and Deformed dick man. (The guy with the biggest ever cock) Sanic, was at the latest make-up stall, they were always outside arcades, so the guys could have fun whilst the girls checked out make-up. She was currently purchasing the latest red lipstick, which could last a week before it came off. Jin looked around for Aurorai. He spotted her standing on a low wall, her crossbow in her right hand, an arrow in her left. She was looking towards the sunset. Jin walked towards her. He climbed onto the wall beside her. He looked in the same direction. "So," he said, trying to start a conversation. "What ya looking at?" "The sunset," she said. Aurorai never really talked much. "Wanna, come with me on a walk?" asked Jin. "Sure," she said. She put the arrow back with the rest of them in a small, long, thin basket that hung on some kind of belt over her shoulder. Then placed her bow, over her shoulder, so she could still hold it with one hand. She took Jin's hand and they began to walk down the street. Jin began trying to make a conversation once more. "So, do you like sunsets?" he asked. "Yes," "Like going for long walks?" "Yes," "Like talking a lot?" "No," "So, where d'ya wanna go?" "To the beach, to watch the sunset, sit beside you," "Want an ice cream?" "I don't have any money with me," "I'll buy you one," "Okay," she said shyly, blushing. They walked for about another half an hour, before arriving on the beach. Aurorai found a nice rock to sit on; she sat and waited for Jin to come back. He came back shortly after with two ice creams. "Wasn't sure what flavour you liked, so I got you white strawberry," he said giving it to Aurorai. "White strawberry's my favourite," she said. Jin sat beside her, licking his ice cream. He put his arm around her. They sat there licking their ice creams, happily watching a beautiful sunset together. Jin turned to Aurorai. "Ummm, Aurorai?" he asked. "Yes Jin?" "Would you go out with me?" She nodded, slowly. "Can we book a hotel room tonight?" "Sure," said Jin. She obviously didn't want the others to know about something. Something she only wanted him for. "Shall I call Lynx and tell her first?" "Let me," she said. Jin gave her his Cell/Mobile phone. She dialled in their home number. It began to ring. Someone picked up the phone. "Hey, this is Soniv Xeroi speaking, how may I divert your call?" "Can I speak to Lynx please?" asked Aurorai. "Sure, stay tuned," there was some noise in the background. A door slamming, a moaning sound as if someone was screwing someone else. And then Soniv's voice. "Lynx, phone!" A bit more shuffling about. Then Lynx had the phone. "Hello?" she asked. "Hi Lynx, it's me. Aurorai," "Oh, hi Aurorai. What's up?" "Is it okay if I stay at a hotel tonight?" "Sure! Which hotel are you staying in?" "Seaside Resort," "I'll send Shad_Lüv down with some money, okay?" "Okay," "See you," "Bye Lynx!" "See ya!" She put down the phone. "Well? Are ya allowed?" asked Jin. "Yeah," said Aurorai. "Okay, let's go," Jin linked arms with Aurorai, and the duo set off to the Seaside Resort.
Lynx walked into the living room and put the phone back. She went back into the lounge and sat on Soniv.
"Hey, Somic was there first!"
"Have you seen Shad_Lüv?"
"No,"
Lynx got off him and went upstairs to find Myzt. She walked into Myzt's bedroom without knocking, to find her shoving a dildo up her shag hole. She looked relaxed for once. But when she spotted Lynx in the doorway, she jumped, flinging the dildo somewhere, and started being her usually pissed off self.
"Can't you knock you stupid twat!" she cried.
"Have you seen Shad_Lüv?"
"No, now get out my fucking room! NOW!!" she screamed at the top of her lungs as Lynx shut the door.
Lynx went back downstairs and into the living room, to see Somic watching Queer as Folk, a video of gay boys having gay sex. She sat down beside him, and put her leg over his.
"You seen Shad_Lüv?" she asked.
"No, but can I have sex sometime with you?"
"I'll think about that," she said.
She went to get the phone. Then walked into the Kitchen. She sat on the counter and typed in a few numbers. Then pressed the dial button. It started ringing.
Sydney was still in the arcade, chatting up a yellow hedgehog. When his mobile started ringing. He told the yellow hedgehog to hold on a minute. He turned his back to her, pulled out his Mobile/Cell phone and answered his call.
"Hello?"
"Sydney! Have you seen Shad_Lüv?" it was Lynx.
"No," said Sydney.
She hung up.
Sydney turned back to the yellow hedgehog.
"As I was saying, my babe,"
"You snotty green piece of shit!" she cried and walked off. She thought Lynx was Syd's girlfriend, and he was trying to two-time her. Lynx dialled another number. Sanic picked up her phone. "Hello?" "Sanic, you seen Shad_Lüv?" "No," Lynx hung up and dialled another number. Lola, Julia, Ed, Shadow and Sharleen were all at the checkouts when Julia's phone started ringing. She picked up the caller. "Hello?" "Julia, it's Lynx. Get back here A-S-A-P, it's an emergency," she hung up. "You guys, we've gotta get back," she helped get together the rest of the shopping, and then began to walk back home.
About half an hour later, Lola, Julia, Ed, Sonar, Sharleen, Shadow, Somic, Soniv, Myzt, Sanic and Sydney. Were gathered in the living room with Lynx.
"So what's the big deal?" asked Lola.
"None of us have seen Shad_Lüv," said Lynx.
"So?" said Myzt.
"He might be in danger!" cried Lynx.
Myzt shrugged her shoulders.
"Okay. Lola, when did you last see Shad_Lüv?" asked Lynx.
"This morning,"
"Julia?"
"This morning,"
"I remember!" squealed Myzt.
"Where?" asked Lynx.
"Remember, Jin was being beaten to death by another Echidna. We went to go and save him. And so did Shad_Lüv,"
"Hey, I remember that too. We rescued Jin and Myzt and I took him back here," said Soniv.
"Shad_Lüv, you and I morphed into dragons to fight off the other Echidna who had morphed into a version of Blade, who was fighting him off. We saved Blade Xiaoyu and I got injured,"
Blade Xiaoyu poked her head through the open window of the living room. "And then Somic fainted, after he morphed back. You and Shad_Lüv morphed back too. You and Shad_Lüv lifted Somic onto my back, and then you climbed onto my back as well. And the last thing I remember of Shad_Lüv was that he was looking in the direction that the Demon Bat and the black Echidna had gone. I thought he followed us back behind me,"
"HE'S GONE OFF AND FOLLOWED THEM TWO!" screamed Lynx. "Blade! We've got to find him! He could be in danger!"
"Hey, you ain't going by yourself sister," cried Somic.
"If he goes, I go too," said Soniv.
"He's my best buddy, I gotta come too," cried Sonar.
"The rest of you stay here, he might come back, if he does call me," said Lynx. She, Sonar, Somic and Soniv jumped onto Blade's back, and set off to find Shad_Lûv
Shad_Lüv landed on something soft, and squishy. He looked around him. He was in a totally different room. Or a different planet. He was right, to the naked eye the house was like any other normal one. But through the eyes of a Demon Bat, it was very, very, different. He stood up on his hind legs and dusted himself off. There was a long passageway, leading to a small light at the end. He began to walk down the passage. He could feel cold air blowing through his Demon Bat fur. Why did he come here, he could have just gone back home with Lynx, Somic and Blade. What if he was stuck here forever? He heard a low grunting noise; he walked a little faster to the light. A voice inside his head was speaking to him. 'Step away from the light, don't go into the light' It was like that movie he saw a while ago, called Poltergeist. The little girl in it was sucked into the television screen, and spirits and stuff came out of the television screen. Shad_Lüv sometimes wished that their TV would suck Soniv and Myzt inside it, and spit out a million pounds from who wants to be a millionaire in exchange. But that could only happen in fairy tales. He reached the door. And knocked three times.
This time, someone came to the door. It was the Demon Bat that was with the black Echidna, trying to kill Jin.
"Yes? How may I help you?" he asked.
"Ummm, I'm a Demon Bat,"
"I can see that. What do you want?"
"Well, I was looking for a job, and someone recommended I try here,"
"Who told you to come here?"
"A brown hedgehog,"
"There are no such thing as brown hedgehogs,"
"Did I say brown? I meant to say, ummm, I meant to say,"
"You meant to say, what?"
"The hedgehog was a red one,"
"Very well. What's your name?"
"My name?"
"No stupid. Your parents' names. What d'ya think?"
Now he was in for it, he hadn't thought of a name yet. If he said Shadow Lüve, they'd know who he was.
"C'mon, c'mon. Would you hurry up! I have business to do,"
"It's Balthazar," Shad_Lüv said quickly.
"You'll do," the other Demon Bat led Shad_Lüv through, and into a small chamber. The black Echidna was there so were two other Demon Bats, both black, one had a face like a Draik, and the other looked more like a cross between a Scorchio and a Shoyru. There was a blue and purple one, it looked like a female. And a red lava looking one.
The Demon Bat that he was being led by bowed before the black Echidna that he had met earlier.
"Bartok," he said. "Balthazar wishes to become one of us,"
The black Echidna gazed down at Shad_Lüv.
"Balthazar, eh?" He looked Shad_Lüv up and down. "Not a normal colour are you?" he said. "I haven't seen many Demon Bats that are green with blue stripes. And blue glowing hearts," he reached out to touch Shad_Lüv's heart.
"Sorry, you can't touch that," said Shad_Lüv, covering it up with his black vest.
"Why not? Bat, you can sit back down now,"
The Demon Bat, that had led Shad_Lüv here, morphed into a jet black Echidna, and took his seat, beside Bartok.
"Because, if you touch it, you lose your memory, and then within a week, you'll die," Shad_Lüv said off the top of his head. He was going to mess up somewhere.
"You're hired," a seat appeared behind Shad_Lüv, who reluctantly sat down, it moved so he was at the table with the rest of them.
"Now, back to today's event," said Bartok. "It has come to me that this Echidna with robot features should be destroyed. All animals on this planet should not be robotical in any way. A more powerful force may be controlling them. If we don't treat it soon, we could all be eliminated. So I have gathered you all here to come up with ideas to destroy robot animals. If not, we will surely die,"
They were talking about Jin Ishikawa. An Echidna with a metal arm. He had to do something to save his friend.
"Excuse me, Bartok sir?" he asked.
"Stand Balthazar, and tell us what you think,"
Shad_Lüv stood up. "Maybe, we could invent some kind of chip and insert it into J- ummm, this robot Echidna. Then we could take control of him, and our enemies would lose control. Therefore we could use him against the others who are using him against us. And if we make more of these chips, and he makes more robot animals, we can put more chips into them, and eventually the enemy will back down, and flee,"
"I like you style," said Bartok. "Any questions?"
The blue and purple Demon Bat raised its hand.
"Blade-slasher?" said Bartok.
"What if the enemy has some kind of chip in the bots already that stops us from getting them onto our side?"
"Then we'll have to create a force field of some kind around the chip, that can destroy other chips, in a matter of seconds, the quicker they are destroyed the quicker we gain power, the quicker he loses his bots,"
The Draik-faced Demon Bat and the Scorchio/Shoyru faced Demon Bat, began applauding Shad_Lüv.
Will Shad_Lüv find a way of getting out? What is the special thing Aurorai wants to do with Jin Ishikawa? Will Lynx, Blade, Somic, Soniv and Sonar find Shad_Lüv?
