Destructive: I forgot, I don't own anything so please refrain from suing me! Thank you for the one review I got! This chapter is up quick because tomorrow school ends! I'm celebrating!!!!
I love you all! I made Chief seem like a baby in this one. Hehe...oh I don't own furbies or gremlins either.
It had only been an hour and already the team was becoming restless, the clock had only just struck ten in the morning. Ashei was sleeping spread out on the couch under a decent sized convex mirror shield, her head phones blasting something that sounded like radio Disney. Jinn was sitting across from her on her purple pillow, leaning against an overstuffed chair deeply engrossed in a thick covered book, incense once again twirling around her in thin tendrils. The chair was occupied by a sleeping pair. Tyson with his head back snoring as loud as the thunder outside with Gabby, curled up against his chest, one arm hugging Tyson's arm, the other pulled up close to her mouth where a bruise was beginning to form, drool, trickling from the edge of her mouth. Even Rei was there, sitting at the end of the couch with stitches perched on his lap.
Besides the majority lounging in the living room, the others had busied themselves around the house. Max was sitting in the computer room, emailing his mom just to talk. Kenny was in Ashei's unkempt bedroom typing madly away on Dizzy as they continued examining the blades, and glancing every so often at a discarded pile of clothing in the corner that reeked with the scent of bio-engineered mutated furby look alike.
"Dizzy! I think I just saw it move!" Chief squeaked during one of those time.
"Chief don't worry, gremlins only eat human flesh." Kenny sighed in comfort.
"Thanks dizzy . . . wait . . . HUMAN FLESH!" He started screaming.
"Will you shut up in there! I'm trying to concentrate!" He stopped screaming but allowed his mouth to hang open. He didn't know which he was more afraid of, the gremlins in the clothing pile, or Silver, but he was soon to find out.
Silver had been pacing around her room, looking from her open closet to the many posters cluttering her wall. She didn't know what to do with herself, she felt like an animal trapped in a cage three sizes too small and to top it off the anger from earlier still hadn't subsided, but instead bubbled within her ready to explode at any moment. The kid with no eyes down the hall wasn't helping, whimpering as he typed, the computers annoying voice, everything was setting her off today and she had no idea why!
Growling to her self that she had had enough she wretched open her bedroom door and stormed down the hall, she slowed down as she reached the door, took a deep breath and twisted the knob, which fell into her palm freely. She glared down at it, the up at the door, this was not her day, she pulled back her foot and kicked it open.
"Give me my blade back." She said as calmly as she could as she took two long strides to the side of the bed, and bent down in front of him, palm open expectantly.
"But I haven't finished with it yet." Kenny replied, facing his computer as if it was all there was left in the world. Silver, studied him for a second then glanced down at a cluster of wire she realized as her blade. Without looking at him she lowered her voice threateningly.
"You're done, and you will give it to me." She turned her eyes to him as she heard him gulp. Though anger was pulsing through her veins, she left a second to be pleased with herself. She had scared him, but enough of these games. "Give me my blade."
"I can't." She narrowed her eyes, and grabbed the wires, plucking them off one by one. Kenny gaped at her.
"You can't do that!" He cried and reached out to grab it back, but being taller she held it over her head, rubbing her finger across the cool metal surface, her finger detaching the bindings.
"If im doing it obviously I can." Kenny dropped Dizzy on the bed and jumped to his feet. "Give it back!" He cried, jumping up to reach it, but there was one cord left and Nny was going to get it, she lifted her leg and plopped the bottom of her boot against his forehead.
"Come on Chief!" Dizzy urged. "Get that blade!" He struggled to get her foot away, but only managed to get himself even farther from the blade. She tore the last wire free from her blade, glanced at it and threw it over her shoulder, Kenny jumped up to grab it but missed as she pulled her foot back to her side, he tumbled to the ground with a cry, and lay there while the door closed and her footsteps faded.
"Gremlins have nothing on her, eh chief?" Dizzy laughed while the chief pushed himself up on the bed. "Oh shut up." He muttered slamming down the computer top before bending down to collect the wires.
'Mistress, I grow weary of this containment." Neco growled restlessly, indeed, she could feel it radiating against her palm.
"Me as well Neco, but I have an idea." She whispered as she reentered her room, and knelt before the closet, tossing its contents behind her as she searched through the old clothes and junk, finally finding the object she desired she spun around to face the odd black box in the corner. She dropped to the floor before it and pulled a silver chain out from around her neck and took hold of the small silver left-eye-of-Horus charm, slipping it into a majority of the locks before pulling a key from her pocket and unclasping the rest. Holding her breath she pushed the lid back and stared at its contents. "Is it necessary?"
"Not of yet my mistress, I only wished to make sure it was still there." Silver nodded and closed the box, securing it once again before striding out the door, and leaping down the steps. She rushed into the kitchen, disturbing not the sleepers in the other room as she searched through the upper pantries. "What you seek is to the right my love." The deep voice crooned. She moved her hand and smiled evilly.
With an object in hand she strode out the kitchen once again without waking any in the room, or even drawing the gold and blue eyes of the vigilant. Again she leapt up the stairs, this time passing all the way to the end of the hall where a door stood in the unlit part of the hall. She went to turn the lock only to find it opened already, curious, she thought, tugging at the knob it swung open nothing but a creak. A block of ice slid into her stomach, fear stained her face, and in an instant she sprang up the stairs and kicked open the second door.
"What are you doing here?"
Kai froze, all he had been doing was looking around the room. It was an odd room, an attic with slanted walls, covered with strings where dolls hung, beheaded, mutilated, some in decent condition, staring out with dead eyes and blank faces, yet all had gaping holes where their smiling lips should have been, but soon the plastic bodies came to a stop, and where the walls met hung a line of wind chimes and dream catchers. The walls were covered with pictures of people he had never seen, dotted with well-thrown darts and scribbled on with, what smelt like, black sharpie markers.
The plain, wooden floor lay support for what appeared to be a massacred bedroom set; a torn and thrashed bed, including pillows and blankets, a black couch, now reduced to a wooden frame and deflated cushions, and a desk, covered with what appeared to be shreds of newspaper.
"I will repeat myself, what are you doing up here?" He turned, brown eyes meeting a stunned looking blond as she stood in her odd outfit, a metal dish hanging from her gloved hand, a hand gun from the other. Kai crossed his arms over his chest and smirked.
"It was unlocked." He stated, watching the girl pale, the bags beneath her eyes becoming even more pronounced flames of sudden fear and anger jumping up behind her eyes once again, lingering with a sense of surprise. "You weren't planning on killing yourself where you?"
"No." She whispered as a voice entered her mind."You knew he would be here didn't you?" Kai watched her mutter to herself, a doubtful look on her face. She bit her bottom lip, then turned to him and threw the silver dish to the ground, disturbing a cloud of colorful shreds of fabric and dust. She smiled slyly. "Why would I kill myself up here? All I wish is for a battle."
Dranzer thrashed restlessly from his pocket as the word battle reached his ears. He pulled out his launcher, and loaded his blade. She smiled, and lifting the handgun, placed her black and red blade on the side, holding it as such with the barrel directed inward.
"Four . . . three . . . two . . . one." They paused and sais together. "Let it rip."
The two blades struck the bowl at the same time, the bowl rocked before they flew into the center and collided. Sparks flew as wing like blades leapt out from seclusion, trying to tear away at the blue blade before they jumped apart. Circling once before dropping back in, jumping back a short distance only to run back in and go into a spin, blade on blades as sparks continued to fly, and Silver had to wonder how long the dish itself was going to last, a tornado of fragments form the floor picking up and spinning around the bowl.
"Dranzer finish her off!" His blade began to glow and with a burst of gold and red feathers his phoenix spread its wings, throwing back its head and crying out for the joy of flight. Launching itself upward, it came plunging down instantly. Beak down, fire forming and fringing on its feathers, but as it struck, the black blade dodged and swung back instantly to strike it from the side.
"Neco, if he wishes to finish you off, finish him first." Kai glanced over at Silver, the malice in her voice was almost equal to the hideously demented shadow burning behind her eyes as she commanded her blade, she glanced up at him, and smiled wickedly, almost like she was possessed . . . Dranzer's cry brought his eyes back to the dish where the once black blade was glowing a dark blood red. With a chorus of earth shaking, glass shattering, thunder rumbling roars, a large pair of wings, adulterated by silver chains through the black plume, was thrust from the bitchips, followed by the body of a black scaled dragon. It tossed back its three heads, showing off its razor sharp teeth, golden eyes flashing, and horns lining down its necks to the tip of its strong tail, in the radiance of Dranzer, its scales showed a glint of blood red.
"Dranzer." The bird rallied, as its name was called, flapping its wings as it prepared to take fligh.
"Neco!" The dragon roared and leapt forward, quite agile for such a big beast, closing its powerful jaws on the wings of the beautiful bird, Kai suppressed a cry as a pain shot into his own arm. "Tear it shred it!"
Dranzer struggled furiously, thrashing around its long talons, screeching and beating its free wing violently trying to free itself but the dragon wouldn't let go, and while one mouth held it the free two would snap at him, one chomped down hard on one of its legs. Below the blades were sparking, Dranzer trapped at an odd slant beneath the blades of Silvers as it spun.
"Dranzer?" Kai whispered again, watching the phoenix helplessly, there was nothing he could do but stand there and let his bitbeast be devoured by the horrible creature, and as it was, so would he be too, he shifted his weight to the unaffected leg. "Dranzer!"
"Is that all you say? Your bitbeast's na-"She gave a little cry as her bitbeast threw its heads back, releasing the victim. "What are you doing Neco?" Dranzer shot up into the air, and came plunging back down with not a second to spare. Yet once again, Neco had three heads and while one continued to thrash the other two focused, and from their mouths spilt a dark liquid, and between the jaws an orb of black and red flames began to form.
"Neco, eternal damnation!" She laughed maniacally as the attacks were flung into the air. Dranzer was too close to dodge and the two attacks met head on. At first nothing seemed to happen, but as Kai opened his mouth to question it, they exploded. Both children were thrown back like rag dolls as the room filled with an orb of light and flames, blinding them and burning them as they tried to escape but it only expanded quickly, picking up the dust and fragments from the floor, the wind chimes spun with the dream catchers, and the dolls were pressed against the ceiling, shuddering from the strength of the blast. With a final tremor the light subsided and the wind weakened.
Kai moaned, pushing himself up into a sitting position and quickly regretting it as a pain shot up from his arm. He blinked away the colorful dots of temporary blindness and nearly choked, the air was thick with smoke, and he could feel his eyes begin to water. He could see the flames leaping, he rolled over on his back and pushed himself up on all fours. Coughing once he started crawling around the room.
"Master watch out!" A crack brought his attention to the ceiling as a huge chunk came falling to the floor. He instinctively brought an arm before his eyes as a cloud flew up in his face. He coughed again, his throat dry, his eyes stinging, sweat pouring down his face as the fire licked at his flesh and clothing. "Remind me to kill Silver after this." Kai thought, choking behind his hand as he stood up, and ran, trying to maneuver around the portion as it caught flames as well. "I wonder if hell is anything like this . . . "
"Over Here." Kai, shielding his eyes, staggered out into the flames. Stepping where Dranzer told him was safe until he found the bowl, he grabbed Dranzer and Neco without a second thought, and turned in pursuit of the door. He froze as a thought popped into his head.
"What about Silver?" Kai said aloud.
"She's in her room."
"What?!"
Silver dug through her belongings, ignoring the flames that danced at her back as she searched frantically through her drawers. She growled in frustration, tore the drawer from the body and tossed it behind her, taking the next and quickly shuffling through it, failing once again she split it over her knee and fell to the floor. She fell to the floor doubled over as a pain tore at her chest, as if a hand was crushing it, squeezing the life from her while it tore her heart from her rib cage. She bit at her bottom lip, feeling the heat licking at her form as she lay there in weakness. She opened her eyes and let the tears fall, she had to find it, otherwise she would never leave the house.
She wiped away the tears and began to crawl, wincing in pain every time she moved. Either be suffocated by the smoke, or burnt by the flames. "Remember pain is but a momentary discomfort." She thought spitefully. It was now or never, she jumped clumsily up on her feet and dashed toward the closet, tearing through the clothing, her mind was reeling with curses as tears continued to splash down her face, the pain was unbearable, but she was bitting her bottom lip, determined not to scream. Her eyes fell on the object she was looking for. She grabbed it, when a thought struck her. She turned and stared across the flames, the chest, how could she forget.
"Get it!" A voice hissed, she prepared to dash for it.
"Silver!" She paused, but the voice was yelling. The flames were lapping at the chest. Her heart was paining her more then ever. In a moment of confusion she flew into the flames.
