Karl's View

I smile not only do I get to kill a world-class witch hunter. But fighting with him is a mage. "Oh the irony a mage a user of the mystical arts. Working along side the humans that kill his kind. It almost makes you wonder about the goals and motives of some of you humans. Tell me Mr. Mage why are you helping these little humans?" Mage "I have my own reason for trying not to be grouped in with bastards like you. I maybe a Cryptide but I know what it means to show compassion to others. Be they're like me or not. And you are definitely a Cryptide that doesn't deserve my sympathy." I turn seeing several humans take position around me. "Little humans and their toys always waving them to try and show their dominance. It's all apart of the illusions of control... Tell me humans will you also shoot the mage here? They will and we all know it too. That's how humans are mage they care only for themselves. Not caring about who or what gets in their way. They call us monsters when they're emptier inside then we are. Join me mage I'm sure the Dun-peels with reward you for your help." I see the mage raise his hand but the shoves it in my direction. Feeling a rush I'm throw across the room and into a pillar.

I look up to the mage as he walks to me. Mage "I'll handle him Mr. Witch hunter. You stay back and protect your own." I rise with the aid of one arm "Why you know once either of us dies they'll kill the victory. Why do you continue to help them mage? Does he have someone you care about locked away?" Mage exhales "Cause I believe that if you fight ignorance and misunderstand it'll just get worse. Being who you are always shows to be better for everyone. Even if some choose to stay with their fears. And often both sides have a fight to because being afraid and fearing someone you don't understand. That's the secret of war and pain. That's why human history is more bloody then Cryptides." I start to laugh and clap at his words. "Splendid words yes but you forget we're all monsters mage. No matter how hard we try we are all the same deep down. It's just the foolish that listen to those fears and try to destroy what they do not understand. It's the rare few that choose to help the other side, which leads to their deaths as well. So at the end of the day we are all alone inside no." Mage "We are which is why I fight. For my wives, my community, and my home. I fight anyone who tries to take those I care for from me. Even if it means my life will be nothing but one hollow victory after another... I will fight."

A smile slides across my lips "Wait you said wives as in more then one? Mr. Mage are you cheating on the ladies in your life?" Mage chuckles "No they are all sisters that raised me into the man I am now. They expressed their love for me and I did not want to break their hearts choosing one over the others. I was going to just be a close friend to not hurt them but at the end they made me agree to being with all of them. But I'm sorry to say but this will be your end." He raises his hand and I lift off the ground. I soon feel the pressure of his power press and squeeze my body. A chunk off my head falls past my eyes but I'm not worried. The mage turns to stop Erma from attack him. Erma's tail sharpened to a blade bounces off his mental shield. As Erma bounces off I sprint forward trying to jab him. But my hands stop short of his fact by a good eight inches. The mage cool and as ease turns his head back to me. Placing his hand on my chest he flings me through the churches column. Rolling free of the dust I catch Erma as she sails straight at my head.

Transforming her into a large mallet I charge the mage. The mage back peddles a few steps telling me that his shields can be broken. "Come no mage you seem to be weakening very quickly." Mage "No I just want this to be an interesting fight." Sliding to my side he bashes my head with his knuckles. But flesh did not connect with my skill its was clearly his powers. Erma transformed once more and I straight to slide through his arm. But he spins jabbing into my stomach followed by a jab to my to cheek. Then a strong kick to my shoulder to finish off with an elbow to my skull. Even disarmed he's got a clear advantage. Spinning like a coin I kicked both my legs to him only for him to stop them with a hand. Angling my body I have Erma turn into a spear and train it right at his face. He can only use one hand at a time that's his fighting pattern. Smiling as the spear inches close to piercing his eye. A sharp crack and then what sounds like porcelain rings off close to my ear. I blink a few times to see my arm no long attached. And Erma with my arm lying on the floor with shards of my bicep. I stare at the mage is shock to chuckle. In a flash I throw a fist of silver dust into his face.

Distracted and trying to rub the silver from his face. I scale the column and get out of sight. Using the beams I run up to the next floor. The little humans shouting an a few trying to shoot me with their toys. "Come then mage lets see if you're as skilled as your appear." Looking around Erma appears from a large hole and jumps to me with my arm. But a tug at my feet pulls me through the floor. Turning Erma to a crowbar I catch a beam and look down. "Well mage I see you've still got a lot to show me. But how are you handling that silver in you?" The mage growls in his throat his face showing the irritation that silver causing to our kind. Feeling another strong pull I'm slam into the floor bellow. Changing Erma I have her form into a chain and pike. Using my teeth I hurl Erma only for her to stops short of hitting the mage. But the attempt shows that the silver has affect on him. Rushing forward I wrap the chain around him but he trips me up. Rolling I tug him off his feet and throw the pike at his left collarbone. However several shots ring off four stopping the pike from hitting. I feel another three shots hit my side. I turn seeing the Witch hunter shot me. "So you want to play too Mr. Witch hunter? Very well then!" I reform Erma but I feel a hand on my shoulder. Turning I see the mage gripping my shoulder causing it to crack within his grip.

He then fling me backwards into a wall. Landing hard on a table I peek up to see the mage and the witch hunter exchange words. Mage "Stay out of this Red hunter." Witch hunter "I'm not going to standby and let you fight on your own." Mage "This isn't a debate that you will win. So just stay out of my way." Examining them more it finally clicks how did I not notice it sooner. "I see it now... The father and his wayward son. I take it after so many years apart you still don't see eye to eye." Mage "He's not my father a real father doesn't abandon their children. Nor do they leave without bothering to look for their wife." Witch hunter "Dante no we'll talk about this..." In a charge I sprint to a side door only to be slammed into the glass window closest to me. Mage "Give up you can't get away from me. Nor are you a threat when you're so close to me. And don't bother running back to the Dun-peels in the sewers. I'll deal with them once your immobilized." Signaling Erma I have her snake around his leg and pull him to one side. Freed I crash smash through the window and run off into an alley. Hearing the odd whoosh of the mage's magic. Rolling from his magic causes a building exposed siding to almost land on me. Coming to a stop I smirk to look down at my feet. "Well my boot is ruined now too. I know but why tell them about the mage. It'll be more fun if he's focused elsewhere."

Ginger's View

As I stare at my son I can tell he doesn't trust me. And his clearly still trying to rub the silver from his skin. He won't even listen to me as I try to explain what happened four years ago. Dante "So all those relocated Cryptides ended up just wondering in the open ocean huh? Goes to show how little the Number's cared. And a cleat example of what happens to the innocent when they listen without a choose." "It wasn't like that Dante." Dante glares to me "Then what was it then? A vote by the crew to just jump ship not caring about the lives they left to starve or jump as to not be eaten alive? You said that those who went with you would be treated fair. At the end of the day its human nature to want to kill what's different from you right? How many did you use to push the idea that you wanted to help Cryptides? Only to lie and watch them die." His words are no lie some of the workers that was to escort the Cryptides to the secluded island chain. Abandoned the ships causing damage to the ships controls as they jumped overboard. We found seven of the first ten ships floating with near dead Cryptides still onboard.

"What do you want me to say?" Dante "That you're wrong in trying to believe separating our worlds is for the best. We lived by human rules, we did as you asked, and we killed an rained in our own so that ignorant human can live on. And what do you do when you say you'll help us. Throw us away like we're the problem. When you're the problem just as we are!" A man walks over and stops short of Dante "My brother ran off with a Yeti he said he was heading to a haven for your kind. Is that placing real?" Dante nods "Republic city is a haven for humans, Cryptids, and animals to live together. Everyone has a voice and we protect our own. I heard of a young guy who married a female Yeti sometime ago. They and like everyone else is very happy with how their lives are. And the peace of no one judging them for wanting to live as they believe." The man nods to look at his feet. Man "When my brother ran off he left me a letter I was angry I thought all you Cryptides are monsters...

"But to know that some of you fought to keep you're kind in check for humans to live without knowing. I don't know what's real from my old life. I don't think its right to persecute races of beings that clearly try to stay away from us. Even follow what we ask to end up throw under the bus it's all fucked up." Dante "Your free to hate anyone its up to you. Free will is everyone right all I want to tell is that even though so much separates us. We all still breathe, we still think, and we still feel. It's just up to us to find out how we want to show. And how much we want to divide ourselves still its human nature to divide each other. Just a few hundred years ago light skinned humans enslaves dark skinned ones. And even now a few still linger to keep that division going. Makes you wonder how long a grudge can last when ignorance takes the wheel." Dante moves past us and picks up the bag with his weapons. Dante "I killed two packs of infected hounds on my way into the city. There are eight Dun-peels in the sewers by the city square access tunnels. The ghouls are still wandering around aimlessly. And before you ask I told you all this because I may not like the ignorance that some of you show. But I will not let innocent people be killed by those who would see us all as slaves or food."

Dante walks out the church doors and gets to his bike. As Dante gets to his bike the mother and daughter he helped jogs to him. Mother "Mr. mage does your Republic allow anyone in?" Dante "Yes our doors are open so long as you throw away the ideas of hate and ignorance to being seen or socializing with Cryptides." Mother "I can learn no I want to learn how to live in a world without judging others who are different then me." Dante "You want a learn but all you really need to do is open your eyes. I can help you meet up with a convey heading back to Republic city. But you'll need to do everything your escort tells you or you'll get hurt before getting there." The mother thanks Dante while a few people tried to protest. But two shots ring out. I turn to see three militia soldiers walking over. Militia woman "We're coming too. After what I heard today and all things that you've said today sir. I don't think I can stand with the ideals of the government." Soon a few arguments began to break out but Dante ended the arguments. He slams his foot into the ground causing a sizable crack to form under his foot. As the small group began to leave with Dante a small horde of ghouls began to come in from the churches right flank.

Dante pulls his rifle to fire off three shots kill all the ghouls that were approaching. Dante "Goodbye Red hunter hopefully your help comes for you and your allies." As Dante leaves he pushes his bike as the group walks with him. Militia man "Sir are you just going to let this happen? They're traitors we need to do something." "There's nothing any of us can do corporal. That young man is the mental mage himself. The Catholic Churches crusaders have sent a whole battalion to kill him and destroy the city that he talked about. But after two years only under a hundred survived the combined forces that fought with and still live with Dante. Sure we may kill him but it'll spark another war that I don't think we can win. That mage is an ideal now and ideal that some of us will fight against. Or grow to understand and be apart of. Soon corporal the world will enter another change all it needs is time."

Third person's View

SFr "What do you mean I have to escort them back? Dante this isn't a good idea." SB "And would you rather they get hurt? Just go with them Fred it won't take long to get to that patrol. Plus you'll be able to get to us no problem once your finish." Shadow Freddy sighs agreeing to the plan and Dante moves to tell the small group. Militia man "So you're not coming with us?" Dante "I can't I came out here to meet a contact. If I return to Republic city it'll look as if I failed to find this new ally. But not to worry Shadow Freddy here is my personal friend. He'll escort you all the way to the patrol that's closest to us. It'll take some time but don't worry he'll stay with you the whole time." Militia guy "Sir who are you by the way? I'm sorry the whole time we've been so rude we didn't get your name." Dante "It's ok my name is Dante Fazbear. I'm one of the official well official figureheads in Republic city. For the most part I just defend the city and help train tour task force and police force." Once again the small group thanks Dante and they walk off with Shadow Freddy in the lead.

Back in the city sewer Steven is pissed. His masters enemy better know as Ginger smoked them out of a portion of the sewer. They threw incendiary grenades and smoke bombs to get them to back off. Steven also hated the fact that Karl told him that a strong human fought him off with little worry. Resulting in the various damages he accumulated. Steven looks over the vampires with him sick at the sigh. Steven "All of you release the last of the hounds and ghouls to attack the weak wall on there left flank. Karl will take the front while the rest of us will attack from the holes he made in the church roof. Karl I'll leave that strong human to you if you capture him. Master would be pleased to snack on a strong human instead of the weak and frail ones." As the vampire prepare for their last chance at dealing with Ginger and his forces. Ginger is talking things over with the militia captain with him. Militia captain "Sir what about the mage and the group that left with him? Are you sure we shouldn't at least track where they go?" Ginger "The last thing we need is to lower our defenses captain. We'll report what happened yes but trust me that Statue will be back.

"And when he returns we must be ready." The captain nods and walks off to prepare for the coming fight. Way over in Republic city Harley Fazbear is smiling at the cool night air of the mountain city. Harley smiles as Duke lies at her feet age finally getting to the large dog. Poor Boxer passed on some time ago but with Dante's help the old dog went in peace. Smiling Harley looks up seeing his sons sweet wives came onto her porch. Tammy "Hey Harley we stopped by with pie from the Benjamin's bakery. Ms. Ben says Todd forgot to give it to the delivery girl. She said to tell you sorry also." Harley "Its ok so long as she whips Todd good. That lazy Satar has been messing up orders for the last month now and its getting old." Chica laughs as Freddia bumps into the small tray next to the Harley. Foxy "Freddia you need to go on a diet your gaining a few extra rolls to your waist line." Freddia growls arguing with her sister that its cause of her weird cravings. Harley surprised as ever looks at her sons wives darting over their bodies. Harley suspensions grow as Bonnie tells Moxy she needs to lie down soon or she'll throw up again.

Harley looks over her son's wives wondering for a moment. To then chuckle as they continue to argue with one another. Bon gives Harley as slice or pie to give the older woman an questioning gaze. Bon "Harley is seeing my sisters arguing really that funny? It's nothing new if you ask me." Harley "No my dear what I find funny is that you all haven't fully realized Freddia, Bonnie, and Cindy's condition." Moxy looks at her sisters after what Harley says still not understanding the joke. Yet alone why the trio has been eating such odd combinations or so much food. After a few minutes Harley breaks the news. Harley "Girls your pregnant." Cindy eyes widen as she slumps to her side. While Bonnie faints backwards into Chica and Tammy. Freddia stands in shock to rub her hand over her stomach. Freddia "A baby's inside me..." Harley sighs wonder how this whole thing will work. Better yet how her son will handle the notion that his wives go pregnant.
