Someone told me my story telling skills were diminutive at best. I'd usually ignore reviews like that, but I'm not so sure whether or not their right. This isn't the first time I got a review like that and I've been looking over my fics and am in serious doubt about their quality. So I need everyone's honest opinion on how good you think my stories are. If they really do suck, I see no reason to keep them on That is all.

Chapter 25

B5 POV

Am I dead? I open my eyes and notice I'm floating in some weird substance. My scanners indicate that I'm in some sort of glass container filled with...honey? I hear voices coming in my direction.

"This one appears to be awake, doctor."

So much for that dead theory.

"Good thing we removed that metal arm."

They did what?! I look down at my arm, or where it was supposed to be. Now, it was only a stump.

"So, what should we do with it?"

"Let it out. I want to study it and I doubt it's any threat without that arm."

The honey was drained out and the lid was removed. a gloved hand picked me up by the scruff of the neck and carried me over to a tub of water. The hand dropped me into the tub and the honey was scrubbed out of my fur. The word "gentle" must be foreign to these people because my poor fur was continually yanked and pulled and I resisted the urge to scream. After my "bath" was over and done with I was dumped onto a table.

"Do you mind? I don't like my fur tugged at!"

The room went ghastly quiet as everyone turned and stared at me.

"You can talk?"

B6 POV

'Not again. Look, Lady, I'm not 552, I'm not some mass murderer, I'm just an experiment disguised as a raccoon-dog thing living in this house with some human and her son, Jake.'

"I know who you are, B6, child of darkness. I was designed to kill you and 552."

'That's quite an undertaking, even if you are the child of light. Even if you manage to take my life, I doubt you would last five seconds against 552.'

"Enough! I shall waist no more time."

To glowing swords appeared in her hands and she slashed at me, I was not fast enough to completely dodge herand the result was a burning scar across my cheek. I winced at the pain and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't heal myself. She advanced and slashed at me again and again only I was more careful and managed to avoid her blades. I summoned my dark energy and knocked the swords out her hands with two swift blasts. Once out of her grasp, the swords disappeared.

'You may have the power of light, but it's clear that you have yet to master your abilities. You are but a novice, while I have experience on my side.'

The sky went dark and the sun was nowhere to be seen. B7 shivered as she backed away from me. My red eyes glowed as I commanded the very darkness to attack her soul. But her face grew determined and she formed a small ball of light energy in her hand. The ball exploded and light went everywhere, canceling out the darkness. The sky went back to normal. B7 began panting slightly.

'you use too much energy, B7. An experienced child of the light could have done that without even blinking.'

With a dark aura surrounding me I struck B7 with punch after punch. she grabbed my last one and kicked me in the stomach. I dropped to the ground and sweeped my foot under hers, causing her to collapse as well. I got up first and placed my foot against her throat.

'Leave, now!'

A blast of water knocked me off of her and the fish creature ran up to us. B7 glared at him.

"I told you not to follow me!"

"It's a good thing I did. He was wiping the ground with you!

'And you are?'

"B1, son of water! It's not a pleasure to meet you!"

'Well take your girlfriend and your corny jokesand leave.'

"I am not his girlfriend!"

"My jokes aren't corny!"

'GO!'

They ran off faster than they probably should've been able to. And of course, 552 chose this moment to make his presence.
