I do not own any of the characters they belong to diseny.

Prodigal Daughter

The body of EbonyMoss begin twitching and convulsing from the beating it received by JaggedFrost, who laugh victoriously as he has once again defeated his adversary "not so mighty now are yo-" a smoky clawed hand wrap around his throat as a growl reach his ears along with the smell of burning scales, fur and flesh to his nose

"this is starting to bore me" EbonyMoss's low, reared back fist glow and flicker with lightning "hope is that this kill you quickly" she slam her fist into his chest.

JaggedFrost twitch as the charge surge throughout his whole body, a strangled and gurgling howl sound off then suddenly die out as his body goes limp in her grip, EbonyMoss drop him having not felt a pulse, she growl down at him then snort in disgust as she turn away from him "have a nice left in Hell", but just as she in about to walk away a weird wind up and when she look back she end up jumping back from a speeding blur, she then dodge another blur "what the hell..." she back flip "what's going on?"

"JaggedFrost has fully tapped into Dresden's full power, Madam" the blur charge at EbonyMoss, but it disappears again

"dammit where'd he go?"

"Madam Vasilisa, above you" emerald eyes look up to see a black mass with a twelve length wing span,

an interesting glint pass over her gaze "Renate when was the last time I had a inflight-fight"

"when you battled with Oberon before killing him"

Vasilisa chuckle "ahh yes nostalgia...well more like deja vu...oh well" her hands engulf with plasma to its highest level and use them to send her at her opponent, she past him a snuff the flames to land on his back, she then grip the space above the base of the leathery wings while placing her foot firmly between his shoulder blades "time to permanently ground you" she grunt as she began to pull on the appendages.

JaggedFrost began to flying erratically trying to throw her off "no, no don't...don't pull 'em...no don't!" Vasilisa pull harder "no, don't you stupid wench!" that only made her pull even harder, JaggedFrost swoop down towards the ground and turn during his plummet, hitting his back against the ground and letting Vasilisa take the brunt of the impact

she grunt in pain "no use bitch" the wings began peeling off JaggedFrost's back allowing the blood to spray on her

the brunette growl in pain "you disobedient whore!" he wiggle on the ground trying to get up.

On his feet once again, he let the Spirit smoke consume his body causing it to burn Vasilisa, who try ignoring the sensation in order to succeed in her goal, ridding him of the wings, with she does eventually, with a bloodcurdling scream JaggedFrost is wingless and highly pissed off, Vasilisa hop off her prey and toss the wings unceremoniously over her shoulder, she then jump right back on him as he's writhing on the ground "well Dresden this is my official goodbye" her right hand raise in a flexed position and dancing with plasma "I had fun...buh-bye" her hand fly at its

intended target, his chest to rip out his heart, but a soft voice call out to her "Sanai...don't" both hybrid, Lycans look to the stairs, spotting Betty lying on Kim's back, heavily beaten and bruised, but still alive, EbonyMoss hand slowly drop along with the fading of the plasma and

JaggedFrost's jaw "Bets?" EbonyMoss breathe then growl "no, I do...he almost killed me and you too...no one gets away with that" she raise her hand again as the plasma return

"no!..." the one eyed woman scream hoarsely "please...I'm...not asking...you as an...underling...I'm...asking as a...a friend...do anything...but please, don't...don't...kill him"

EbonyMoss roar, before calling over the kunoichi "Renate!"

Yori kneel beside her "yes, Madam?"

"watch him...and if he moves...kill him" she step off the downed and shocked, one eyed male once her lady-in-waiting has her blade aimed at him and start pacing while growling fiercely.

"Kimberly allow me to watch Elizabeth while you go to Sanai and assist her in making a decision"

the fiery Lycan back away from the mystery lady, once she spot her 'uh no I...I have her, I'll jus-'

Betty groan weakly "Madam Goshin...it's...it's alright...hello Dǎoshī Kazane..." she slide off Kim with the Lycan's help "how are you?" hoping her legs have healed some, she try walking over to Kazane, but end up falling to the cold, unforgiving concrete

"I'm marvelous especially after that little bit of fun I had with those fledglings" Kazane tell her with amusement great in her voice, Betty chuckle weakly, while ScarletVixen start to feel upset for not helping the brunette woman, but she's more upset over the fact that the woman claiming to watch Betty, oh she's 'watching' alright, she's not even helping her up from the fall, even while knowing she in pain and even greater pain from falling, her fur stand on end, but it smooth out as she continue watching the two. "What's the deal with you wanting to spare your brother after he did this to you and also nearly killing Sanai?" Betty sigh heavily as Kazane kneel in beside her then roll her gently over to allow Betty to rest her head in her lap as she began telling Kazane, her reasons.

ScarletVixen trot over the her mate 'Sanai?' emerald eyes are turned on her 'whoa Sweetie cool it on the Dragon, I want to see the kind eyes I love' emerald eyes soften 'better, now how about you let him go off easy?'

"are you crazy, I am no-" a bite to her hand stop her

'look I'm not happy about it either, but that is her only brother and she is your closest friend'

EbonyMoss growl "do you have any idea what you're asking of me?!" her mate think on it

'yes I think I do'

the hybrid Alpha snort "okay, but Elizabeth..." both friends look eyes to eye "if your bastard of a brother try this shit again 'which you know he will' I'll punish you along with killing him, you got that?!"

Kazane help Betty to her feet so she can bow respectfully to her Alpha, she grunt in pain "...yes Sanai...thank you"

a growl emanate from the hybrid Alpha's throat, she then slam her foot back on JaggedFrost's chest "Renate..." she raise his left hand up "give him a reminder of today by giving me a trophy" Yori grip her ninjato and slice off his hand at the wrist, he scream in pain, but it goes ignored, as EbonyMoss dig her claws into his bottom jaw and drag him towards the wall "you're lucky Bets still care for family name and I care about her friendship, but since it's you that was saved I don't give a rat's ass about your lineage I don't."

Before flinging him over she raise him up as lighting and plasma light up her other hand and she grab his nuts and castrate him, his bloodcurdling screams echo throughout the territory as the plasma melt his balls and the lightning cauterize the wound, she then toss him over like the sack of garbage he is then disappear to assist her pack in ridding themselves of the Vampire fledgling.

As ShySterling once again rise high into the sky, her children of the RockClaw clan is slowly coming down from their battle high, EbonyMoss crush the skull of a bat-like female and raise her head to the sky, howling for the status of any remaining Vampires that haven't died or fled just yet, the howls that answer back tell her they are Vampire-free, but will continue checking every nook and cranny for any stragglers.

'Sanai I've got something to show you'

the now four-legged hybrid Alpha tilt her head in curiosity as to what her Aunt is wanting to show her 'Kimmie come with me to see what Aunt Zi An has discovered' the two Alphas met on the rooftop above Zi An's location

ScarletVixen sniff the air 'how come that scent is so familiar?'

her mate take a sniff of her own 'motherfucker...' both Lycans drop down on either side of Zi An 'Demenz...how's it hanging' ScarletVixen bump her with her hind paw 'what you wanted to say it too and you know it'

the fiery red shewolf shake her head and look up at the dangling diminutive male then at the ground where a huge male lay, sitting up and split open, by the sword in the brunette's hand "so you two know him?"

EbonyMoss snort in disinterest 'oh yeah we know him, he's known in the Villain Community as Dr. Dementor, but I never figured him to be an ice bastard' Demenz try yelling at them through the gag in his mouth

'uh can I ask what that gag is...uh made of, because it looks like...and smell like...'

two other Duran females nod "it was apart of his buddy's intestinal tract"

ScarletVixen heave once then turn and vomit up bile 'that's disgusting'

'welcome to family Cupcake' olive eyes give her a dirty look, but EbonyMoss dismiss it with a snort 'so what you want with us?' she ask while looking up at Demenz again

"well that's up to you two, I've done my part" Zi An disappear after cutting the down the male

'alright Doc what are you doing here?' a nail cut the gag around his mouth

"I wanted to come here and hurt you bad for going back on your calling!"

emerald eyes roll 'Demenz although I loved the life of a villain, that wasn't what I was meant to do and your old friend Drakken only sped that up'

Dementor scoff "that man is an idiot to do what he done to you, by mere suspicion alone, but still you became a traitor to the Villain Community and it's high time you paid for it!" he break the binds of his hands and attack, but his plans fall short along with him, his corpse lay on the ground at EbonyMoss's paws, unmoving

'uh what just happened?'

'hell if I know...' an ebony paw poke him 'hey Demenz you alive...Demenz?...' she stop poking him 'he's dead...too bad too'

olive eyes give her an incredulous look 'only because you wanted to do it'

'damn straight...nobody invades my territory without paying for it, by me'

her wife rub against her 'it's so cute how you're protective like that'

she rub back against her 'I'm even more so because of you'

the affectionate display on ScarletVixen's part comes to a halt 'me?...what do you mean because of me?'

EbonyMoss lick her neck then bump her nose against her mate's 'you should know by know, but if not I'll tell you in great detail later, for now we need to get to work, getting these corpses a proper burial' she howl and two males appear behind them kneeling 'can you take these two to the pile of Vampires to be burned, thank you' they nod and set to work as the Alpha pair walk off 'oh an not to say your weak, but you may need help lugging big boy.'

Kazane pass Betty off to Zi An then roll out the way of a pounce and aim the business end of her sword at the base of her attacker's neck, she smirk "almost had me Sanai, but almost ain't good enough!" she strain, while jabbing her sword at the hybrid Lycan, who snarl and swat at the sword then fall to her side in submission, how's she going to win against the sword welding woman "giving up already, that's not like yo-" she yelp in surprise, by her granddaughter pouncing on her

'got you, you wrinkly, old bat'

Kazane laugh good-naturedly "that you do you overgrown pup" she give her a hug

'how have you been Nǎinai?'

the white-haired grandmother kiss her cheek and get to her feet "fine now and you?"

a fiery red Lycan rub against EbonyMoss affectionately 'as you can see, just fine'

Kazane smirk "I can see, nice to meet you again Kimberly, I'm Sanai's grandmother"

olive eyes look to the older woman and widen 'you're her...her...Sweetie you never mentioned that your grandmother was in her prime'

emerald eyes look sheepish 'I didn't, oops my bad, but yeah although I thought you'd figure that out after seeing Mommy' her mate snort in disinterest

'it's nice to meet you Mrs...?'

"Kim just call me Kazane or grandma Kay, alright?" the fiery Lycan nod, but as she's about to converse with Kazane again, Yori kneel beside her mate

"Ma'am"

'not to mingle into your affairs, but have you spoke with your boy-toy since the end of the battle?'

Yori tuck into herself "I'm...I'm sorry Madam, but...he won't speak with me"

'what?!' ScarletVixen growl a little 'let me handle him' she bound off

EbonyMoss shudder "Madam are you cold, should I go find you a blanket?"

'no, no I'm plenty warm I can tell you that, but have they rounded up the severely injured and deceased?'

"yes Ma'am only five have perished"

EbonyMoss nod 'can you do one more thing for me?'

Yori bow to her "anything"

'can you retrieve Monique and my son on the edge of the Ritual Grounds, just remove one of the sticks to disband the boundary'

"hai, I shall carry that out as requested" she disappear

"so she was reincarnated this time as well...that's good"

emerald eyes look to her grandmother, but decide not to ask that question, but instead she ask the other "tell me...do you know?"

Kazane smirk "yes Arashi told me after Shuang told him and Xing told him, but what I want to know is how yo-" she stop and chuckle "I don't need to even ask she told you didn't she?"

'as you said you don't need to ask, but yes she told me'

"well I'm happy for you accomplishing what you set out to achieve ever since you were small"

EbonyMoss felt pride from her grandmother's praise 'thanks Nǎinai, but to tell you the truth it's surprising, unnerving and wonderful all at the same time, did you feel the same way then too?'

Kazane beam with pride "yes and I still do even to this day I can never believe how my life became like it is now, especially considering how it was then" a tear slide down her face as she relive her past, while her granddaughter watch on in silence since Duran women hardly ever did the comforting thing as adults.
