People screamed and ran from him. People were terrified of him. Black paws rose up and with machine like precision he shot people one by one. People begged for mercy but he didn't listen, he couldn't stop firing and tearing people apart with his physic blasts…
"Ahh!" Odd woke sitting up in his bed. "That can't be real! That CAN'T be real!" he held his hands in his paws, "I've killed people."
In Raul's tent he couldn't sleep. His mind kept on thinking back to Odd. Odd had gone through so much in his young life, way much more than him. Also Odd was so cheery when he first came to them, always making a joke to lighten the mood, but since that first battle even, Odd became more quiet, his smiles more forced, more tired, and he seemed to be making more and more nightly trips to the top of the pile of rubble. Raul peered outside; it was 3:00 am. The moon was full and he spotted a familiar figure hopping up the rubble.
Raul frowned, "That's it. This has gone on long enough." Raul left his tent determined to get to the bottom of Odd's problems.
On the top of the pile of rubble Odd just sat there, crying, that's all he did. He had killed people, took lives! Every night he dreamt of what he did. He felt so rotten, and guilt ridden, but his thoughts were interrupted by a noise behind him.
"Raul", Thought Odd.
Raul climbing up, "Odd…"
"Go away!" Odd had his back turned to Raul.
"Not gonna happen" said Raul. "Not till I know what's wrong with you" thought Raul determined.
"Nothings wrong with me now go away!"
"What?"
"I can read minds."
"I'm still not going away." Raul sat down next to Odd and put his hand on Odd's shoulder, "Now tell me what's wrong."
Odd tilted his head down, "Nothing's wro… " Odd's eyes suddenly glowed purple, he saw himself controlled by X.A.N.A. attacking a soldier, then he saw Raul running to him.
Raul screamed, "MIGUEL NO!" but then Odd saw himself snarl and shoot an arrow straight at Miguel.
"Odd?" Raul shook Odd's shoulder.
Odd turned looked at Raul face to face with his face silhouetted by the moon and his feral eyes ginseng with tears…
"I've killed people Raul, I've killed people and I killed your friend Miguel."
Raul was shocked he thought and hoped that Odd's memories were erased when he broke free from X.A.N.A.
Odd cried, "I've done horrible things and I can never be forgiven."
"Your right you can never be forgiven." Odd looked at Raul in shock. "You can't be forgiven because you never did anything. X.A.N.A. used your body to kill, you didn't kill anyone. You didn't kill my friend Miguel." Raul's voice cracked a little. "If the victim's families saw you now; saw your remorse, they would forgive you. They even probably couldn't believe that it was you that killed their loved ones. The thing that killed all those people is now gone and we have you to thank for it. You never hurt anyone you only hurt X.A.N.A.
"Th… Thank you. You don't know what that means to me." Said Odd speechless
Raul smiled, "As I said I should be thanking you for what you did. Now let's get back to bed X.A.N.A's sure to attack tomorrow."
The Next Day
"Come on pallie!" Odd took out a blok
"Looks like he's feeling better." Stated the Commander
"Yeah we had a talk." Raul shouted as he destroyed a blok.
"What ever you talked about I'm great full you did talk."
With Odd
Three kankraknots sp? fired at Odd, but with cat like grace Odd flipped upside down and all Matrix style took out two of the three kankraknots. The remaining kankraknot looked from side to side noticing it was one on one.
Odd grinned, "Boo!"
The lone Kankraknot jumped up and ran away.
"Heh." Suddenly Odd's ears were filled with a familiar shrill shriek. "Oh… My… GOD! It CAN'T be! Board appear!" The over board appeared and Odd hopped on and headed towards the shriek.
With the Shrieker
"Oh! What have you gotten yourself into now!"
She was now being stared down by a kankraknot, her back was against rubble, and she was cornered on three sides by walls of ruin. The kankraknot fired on her and out of pure instinct to live she managed to doge the blast. She couldn't die, she didn't want to die. Her eyes darted around her prison and by the grace of God she spotted a metal rod on the ground. The kankraknot fired at her as she went for the rod, but luckily the kankraknot missed and she was able to snack up the rod.
"Now die you creep!"
She went into a frenzy swinging the rod around blindly in shear terror and by the grace of God once more the metal rod connected with the kankroknot and the little monster exploded, causing her to fall on her bum.
She opened her eyes and saw the burn ring that the kankraknot left when it exploded, "Huh?" She crept over and poked the burn ring with the metal rod, "It's gone… Ha! Ha! It's gone! Yeah!"
"Roooooar!"
She stopped dead and slowly turned her head around, "Ahhhh!" behind her a creeper had crawled down the rubble she had her back against before and was staring her down.
"No…" she began to back up terrified but fell on her bum once more.
The creeper roared, she closed her eyes in terror and the creeper began to fire…
"LAZER ARROW!"
She opened her eyes to see the creeper explode in a sick sounding explosion and the back of her savior.
"Oh thank you! You…" Her savior turned around, "Ahhh!"
"Ahhh! Sissy don't yell!" Odd gripped his big cat ears.
"Odd?" Sissy looked him over, "What happened to you?"
Odd looked Sissy over, "I should ask you the same question."
Sissy was a mess her hair was tousled, her clothes were dirty and ripped and torn in several places, and several cuts and bruises lined her body.
Sissy stomped her foot, "My cuts and burses are nothing to you becoming a kitty boy!"
"There's a war going on and she's still the same old Sissy" thought Odd
"Well there's time for that later. Right now I need to get you some where safe." Stated Odd.
"How! There's a war going on!"
Odd only slowly turned to face Sissy with a cheasure cat grin on his face.
"Ahhhhhhhhh!"
Odd now had him and her on the overboard and they were currently flying through a pack of hornets.
"Sissy" Odd shot a hornet, "I swear if you" shoots another hornet, "don't shut up I'll drop you!"
With that Sissy clamped her mouth shut.
"Good..." gets hit by a laser and hisses like a cat, "That's it!" Odd crossed his arms over his chest, "Shield!" A Purple sphere encircled them both.
"Wow…" Sissy gasped.
Odd smirked but then his eyes glowed purple… a vision! Odd saw what the monsters were sent to destroy. It was a very large refugee camp.
"Hold on!" Odd ignited the engines on the overboard and they took off. Sissy gave a sound of surprise as they rocketed towards the camp.
The camp eventually came into view. Odd and Sissy flew down into the middle of the camp.
Odd hopped off the board, "Sissy you might wanna back up." Sissy then wisely hopped of the board and ran a good distance away.
Odd stood very still and concentrated on the monsters, in his mind he saw each one and their weak spots. Energy built up inside of him, and it grew and grew until it radiated a purple glow from his body, then when he couldn't hold anymore he released it in a fury of purple sparks. Monster after monster was hit, and taken out, until they were all gone.
"My gosh… I can't believe that I'm saying this but that was so cool." Said Sissy in awe.
Odd breathed heavily, "That better of got them all…"
Odd felt himself fall, and when everything was about to go black he heard Sissy scream his name.
Two days later
Sissy sat in an old army tent near a bed, waiting. The one sleeping, Odd, was the only way she could find out what happened to Ulrich. She thought back to the day, the creatures first came, and when she saw Ulrich.
"Ulrich my sweet, what happened to you?"
"Ulrich loves Yumi."
"Wha?" Sissy turned to find that Odd had awoken, "Grr! You just don't get it! You don't know what it's like to have to love someone from a far!" Sissy teard up.
Odd, even though deep down he didn't want to admit it, felt bad for Sissy. He did kinda knew how she really was under her rough exterior due to their internet dating and the stories Ulrich told him about the times she helped save the day.
"Well you'd be surprised." Odd said looking away.
"Wha!" Sissy looked at Odd in shock
Suddenly Odd was overcome by another vision, he saw his friends in strange metal pod like machines… INMOBLE! Something inside Odd just knew that this was his chance to save them. He threw off his covers and dashed out of the tent.
"Where are you going!"
"To save our friends!"
"Our friends?" Sissy questioned then it hit her, "I'm a part of their group." Sissy couldn't help but smile.
