I'm back, sorry for the wait everybody, but I had some rough times trying to get the basic idea of I wanted to happen in this chapter since I decided to change my basics of my original storyline. This is what I've managed to come up with.

Hope you all enjoy!

Chapter 5: Niveena's POV

Okay, seriously what in the name of the Cothica above is going on around here? Little Kaz was acting odder then normal and that's saying something given how she reacted to everything when I first met her.

She was somewhat recovering from her time as Von Bloot's prisoner, so was Tom, but the boy didn't show any medical problems aside from the slight starvation. It just didn't make any sense why she was still so sick. I know she tries to hide it, but I can tell something was truly troubling her.

Her eyes just weren't the same and I knew it wasn't just from the experience. They eventually regained that bright shine she'd always have when speaking, but they lacked a certain…warmth, for lack of better word and she'd always get distracted and worried over something she wouldn't even confide to H'earring about. So this had to be serious.

Of course, it was obvious now, after watching the strange human boy on Kaz's scanner announce what had happened about the whole incident. I never seen her eyes so full of pure fear before. Kaz, she had this wit about her, this bite that just came naturally, fear, it just didn't suit her in my opinion.

"Okay Kazlyn," Tom bit out very cross and very loss, something no one liked to feel, the latter more so then the former, "What is going on and so help me Mother Earth, I better not hear 'it's nothing' or I'll…"

"Tom, Tom!" She interrupted motioning for him to calm down, "I can explain this but…" She faltered, biting her lip, clearly unsure about what to say, "It's…going to be really difficult and…painful to explain…"

Worry and a bit of confusion flared in my chest, and upon sharing glance with the other humans, I could tell they were also confused. But the redhead, Lulu, had a bit of a suspicious look on her face, biting her lip as if trying to keep something in. I was willing to bet my week's pay she had a guess about what was going on.

"Does it have something to do with what happened with…?" CJ asked pensively discretely motioning to Tom, who looked guilty at the guess of what the older male meant. "Actually…" Kaz said as her began to grow quiet and I could've sworn I heard it crack a little, "Yes…"

"I knew it," Tom muttered dejectedly and ashamed, "Kaz…what did I do?"

"I…well…ugh…" She stammered wringing her skirt nervously, "I'm…you…"

However, before she could get more out, the doors suddenly swung open with such force they actually banged against the walls, making a very loud sound that crossed between a boom and a cracking sound.

It was so sudden and loud, it made everyone jump and turn just in time to see Peyton rushing in like Dad was at his heels, a very terrified and panicked look on his face as he yelled, "WE'RE UNDER ATTACK!" Right behind him were several of Von Bloots' soldiers.

(Couple of minutes…or hours prior, Peyton's POV)

I groaned tiredly as I wondered down the near endless long, twisting halls of Chaor's castle. The lack of decor and near identical doors didn't make it any easier to tell where I'm going.

Honestly, after spending a great many years in the canal-like tunnels under father's theater you'd think I'd be used to this sort of scene, but still even after literally God knows how many decades I still get lost and I live there! I really need to ask dad his tricks or at least ask someone for a freaking map!

Just as I turned another corner into a different hall, beginning to get the idea I'm going in circles, I spotted Sarah and Wamma at the end of the hall. They looked over and waved, I began to wave back only to my eyes to widen with horrified shock as a familiar living skeleton with wings quietly snuck up on them. I yelled as loud as I could to them, "LOOK OUT!"

But it was too late, Von Bloot struck Sarah out cold with a well-placed blow to the head. "Sarah!" Wamma cried before immediately attacking the harpy as dozens of Von Bloot's goons began attacking him from all sides, quickly out-numbering and out-powering him.

I growled in frustration at the unfairness of the situation as well as anger at Von Bloot for hurting yet another of my first few, genuine friends. Being raised with a mentally unstable father, an aloof sister and enstranged mother, you don't get much social interaction. So I got my people skills from interacting with the theater staff while maintaining our family secrets. But my relationship with Tom, Sarah and Kaz...it didn't feel as fake as it did with the actors and stage mangement...it felt so real.

This...was the last...straw...family secrets be damned!

"Hey!" I shouted angrily when they made a move to grab Sarah and was beginning to subdue Wamma, a familiar southern-touch from my mom began to slip from my voice as I felt my power flow, "Two on one ain't fair!"

Taking a deep breath as Wamma shouted at me two run and two goons came at me, I let out a haunting tune I often hear my sister use when she haunted a few rehearsals, keeping the pitch low, "Aaaaah...!" Almost instantly, a stream of sonic waves surged forth, unlike my sister, whose sonic screams were a pinkish-red, mine was a jade green color to match my eyes.

As soon as it hit, the goons were sent flying backwards into a wall so hard, they made a a web pattern. "WHAT?" Von Bloot shouted in disbelief and I don't really blame him.

Cracking up the my pitch and volume, I belt out another sonic scream at the group attacking Wamma, giving him a fighting chance. Despite the intital shock of seeing one of my powers, Wamma called out to me, "Go get the others!"

I nodded to him and quickly took off, but not before Von Bloot practically screamed, "GET HIM!" Dammit, where's Retta when I need her?

(Present No One's POV)

The leaders and their parties rushed out of the dinning hall at hearing Peyton's near scream of attack and Takinom and Chaor acted instantly, Aszil and her guards right behind them, before Intress, Aiveena, Niveena and Maxxor followed suit. An all out brawl began and to be franke, no ever thought Von Bloot could have this many followers. It made a few creatures worry for the humans.

Suddenly, CJ was grabbed from behind and thrown into a wall making Kaz nearly scream in alarmed-concern, "CJ!" After seeing he was okay, she let out a very angry sound as she turned to glare at an incoming baddie, "THAT'S IT!" She was now yelling, startling her friends, "NO MORE MISS NICE HEROINE!" With an enraged scream, she grabbed the incoming goon by the arm with both hands and with an amazing feat of strength, lifted him up and over her head like he weighed nothing and slammed him into the floor with such for, bits of rock flew into the air.

Seeing this made a few people (human and creature) jaw-drop, dumbfounded while CJ raised an eyebrow at her in question. When she nodded at him, CJ grinned ferally before grabbing another two of Von Bloot's men and with an equally amazing strength, flung the two up above his head, causing them to collide before swinging them down hard into the ground with the same amount of force. Kaz saw another about to attack her brother from behind and held out a hand towards a large vase as her eyes glowed icy blue. A matching aura surrounded it before it was lifted off the ground.

"CJ duck!" She shouted as she swung her arm, sending the vase hurtling towards him. CJ did so, causing it to hit the solider instead.

Tom, while shocked at first, smirked ferally as well as he spoke maliciously, "Well, if all gloves are coming off..."

That said, Tom crouched down a little, much like Tigress would do, while closing his eyes as three of Von Bloot's soldiers ran at him, attacks ready. Tom suddenly opened his eyes, revealing they were now paler and glowing, pupils slit and narrow like a cat's. Tom pulled her lips back in a snarl as a very tiger-like sound came out instead of a human one, before he lunged forward. In what was almost like slow-motion, pure black fur grew out of his bare skin as his ears grew, also gaining fur, pointing up against the top of his head in black cat ears as a matching tail grew. Nails turned into dangerous, sharp claws and flat teeth turned into a powerful maw full of razor sharp teeth.

Taking advantage of the sudden shock of his transformation, Tom did a cartwheel before pushing himself up on his hands and did a spin on them, kicking the goons before flipping onto his feet gracefully. He grabbed onto the nearest solider, who howled in pain as his claws sank into his skin like knives, before beginning to kick him repeatedly in a pattern with the inside of his leg; up, down, up, down, repeat at a rapid pace for at least a minute and a half, before doing a roundhouse kick, sending him into another solider.

Lulu shrugged, "Well, if everyone's going all out..." She knelt down and placed her palms on the ground, closing her eyes, she shivered as her own power coursed through her. Her entire body, clothes and all, turned into the same solid granite as the floor. She opened her eyes, smirking as they flashed maliciously before throwing a punch at an incoming solider, who howled and clutched his bleeding nose, before she grabbed him and threw at another on-coming goon. Taking out her dual swords, she rushed in to join the battle.

Peyton yelped as a stray fireball came hurtling at him before becoming becoming transparent, allowing the fireball to phase right through him. Turning, he looked at the singed wall and sighed in relief, before literally floating up into the air to avoid any collision. He scanned the battle below before seeing Chaor was beginning to be out-numbered.

Frowning, he looked around for ideas before spying a large spike growing out of the ceiling. Looking down, he yelled, "Chaor, get out of the way!"

Feeling a bit insulted, Chaor punched one of Von Bloot's followers before glaring up at the odd human as he shouted back, "Excuse me?" He watched with wide eyes as jade-green eyes glowed before the human let out a strange, yet eeriely-haunting tune, creating some kind of sonic scream, "Aaaaah...!". Looking up he saw the staglimite (or however you call them) shaking above. Eyes wide, he uttered, "Oh." Before he quickly high-tailed it out of the way just in time to avoid getting flattened, the three goons that tried to follow...weren't as lucky.

After levitating a battered enemy and chucking him at another group for Takinom to pounce on, Kaz froze up as a voice said, "Well, well...if it isn't Lord Von Bloot's little incubator," She turned to see it was Skithia, who was smirking evilly at her, "I have to admit, I was expecting you to have such...valuable skills, I wonder if the test subject will have them."

Kaz snarled angrily, eyes flashing blue before she launched herself at the smirking woman, who easily parried with her, matching her strike for strike. "Shut up!" Kaz almost yelled aiming a blow to the creature's face, but she dodged and glanced wickedly at the still fighting Tom, who was almost dancing through his enemies with both swipes of his claws and his material art-skills.

"Didn't expect the sire to be more then human," Skithia added hauntingly which made a few creatures stop now that they were retreating and look at the battling females, confused by Skithia's words, "But I must admit, it adds to the anticipation."

"Sire?" Maxxor and a few guards echoed in confusion, though a somewhat horrified look crossed Lulu, Intress and Takinom's faces. "Kaz, what is she talking about?" Tom asked confused though he had a sinking feeling he already knew the answer.

Kaz didn't answer, she never got the chance. Just as she threw another punch at Skithia, the female creature slid back and with only one arm locked both of Kaz's arms above her head, trapping her. Chaor and Takinom tensed up, moving forward out of reflex, while Niveena gasped in worry for her 'little sister', and Peyton, Lulu, CJ and Tom's eyes widened with alarm.

Skithia just laughed at their faces as her captive squirmed violently in her grasp, "Oh don't worry, I'm not going to hurt her...not now, anyway," They relaxed only just a little, "She's carrying a very...precious cargo, can't let it get damaged, Von Bloot would have my hide."

"Cargo?" Peyton said very confused. 'What...did Von Bloot do?' Was the common thought between all of Kaz's friends and loved ones.

Kaz gave a soft sound of defeated-agony hanging her head, knowing her time was up. Skithia noticed and smirked, "Oh, you never told any of them? I'm surprised, why don't I elaborate for you?" Kaz thrashed in vain to stop her but it was no use, "Let's just say that your little...daughter, Chaor, is carrying something very precious for Lord Von Bloot," She glanced mischievously at the still cat-human male, "And you can thank Tom here for putting it there."

"What are you talking about?" Tom said confused, yet he was still glaring at her, his eyes searching for Kazlyn's, but she refused to meet anyone's eyes, "I didn't do anything expect..." He faltered a little, grimacing at the memory, however hazy it was, "Hurt her..." He shook his head to shake the guilt off.

"You really haven't got a clue, do you?" Skithia snickered at how clueless they were, "The bruises mostly around her legs, the sickness, the change in mood? Maybe a change in her appetite perhaps?" Slowly, one by one, the creatures, Peyton, Lulu and CJ's eyes widened in horror, a few looking sick to their stomach.

Tom was the only one who didn't seem to fully catch on, most likely needing a vocal or visual declaration at what Skithia was tap-dancing around. He then began to connect the dots, how she looked at him when they were rescued, how she flinched and gave cries, her following sickness. His eyes widened the most as it hit him like a mountain dropping on him. Kaz whimpered at the broken look that seemed to slowly mold into his face as he shook his head in denial, feline ears flattening against his head in distress as he said, "No...no..."

"Need proof, here," Skithia said flippantly and without warning, gripped the a bit of Kazlyn's skirt and rose it up to reveal her sizable (remember she's only about three months along), round stomach. Kaz gasped out in shock, trying to cross her legs to hide her underwear as Chaor and CJ let out roars of anger at Skithia's actions, while everyone else gasped and almost every male looked away as the girls all gasped. The only one who didn't do anything...was Tom, who was too froze from shock to react.

"Fall back, we already have what we want," Skithia said to her troops who were almost out of the hall, before letting go the skirt, only to press her hand on the girl's stomach as she leaned in to whisper in her ear, "I can't wait to help Von Bloot cut that baby out of you..." Kaz's eyes widened before she let out a cry as she was shoved to the ground. With that, Skithia was gone, following her troops as the guards and the twins followed.

Peyton shook himself out of his shock when he remembered something and called out in horror as he pointed out a window, "They have Sarah and Wamma!"

Sure enough, as they looked out the window, Von Bloot was carrying the unconscious girl as his troops carried an equally out cold Wamma.

(In the Port Court, still no one's POV)

During all this, arguements and near fist-fights had broken out nearly everywhere within the Port Court as everyone tried frantically to keep track of their friends and family as more players ported in from either Earth or Perim to make sure their loved ones were okay. Everyone was talking at once and clear panic and fear topped anything else they were feeling.

"And I'm telling you there's just no way MajorTom would do such a thing to anyone!" A random guy yelled at another, "It just isn't possible, especially not to KidChaor!"

"And I'm telling you that it is possible if their under a Perim drug or whatever it is!" The other guy yelled back, "Who knows just how badly he hurt her!"

"Maria!" A blonde teen called out a picture of a little blonde girl on her scanner, worry clear on her face as she searched the large crowd, "Has anyone seen my little sister?"

"Who knows what Von Bloot's going to do next, I think we should stay out of Perim for a while," Another girl said to her friends. "But then what's the point to playing Chaotic?" A boy said, "Isn't it about taking risks?"

"Yeah, but I don't wanna be experimented on like a guinea pig!" Another girl nearly wailed in fear looking ready to cry. "There's no need to panic," Another guy said trying to keep a level-head, "MajorTom and KidChaor got away and their alive, what's the worse that can happen?"

As if on cue, Reggie came back on the screens, looking a bit alarmed, his hair was a bit messy and his papers were out of place. "I've just been updated on the situation in the Underworld," He announced for all to hear as the whole court fell into a dreadful silence, "Another player has been taken!" Everyone gasped as the picture of a familiar blonde Greek appeared beneath him, "I repeat another player, Sarah Beth Cornwall, has been taken! Please stay tuned for more information!" And with that, instant panic ensued as people either increased their vocal worries and fears or made a beeline for the porters.

Buha-buna-bah...! Or however that goes! LOL;)!

Kaz's secret has been revealed! By Skithia no less! Tom knows! Everyone knows!

What's going to happen? Sarah and Wamma's been taken! Will Kaz be Von Bloot's only reproduction victim?

How's Tom going to take that he not only raped his best friend, but got her pregnant too?...how's CJ going to take it?

And what do you guys think of everyone's newfound powers and little light on Peyton's past? Didn't see that coming huh? I'll be elaborating more on that in the next chapter.

And now, to my viewers who made contact!

To ColorGuardSweetHeartHottieFury: Don't feel very bad about going on like that, I tend to do it too in my own reviews, I actually appreciate it since you feel comfortable enough to tell me that and I like how you put your name together. Anyways, in terms to what you said in the review, I'm glad you like how I gave more information about Klay and Krystella, I just didn't like how they didn't give them much in terms of why they do what they do or just make them look bad and that's it. And yeah, I do feel bad for the kids, but hey, I'm writing this as a reflection that the world isn't all butterflies and rainbows, people out there have done much worse, I'm just trying to be realistic with the darker side to life. And yeah, you did say that, LOL! And yeah, Von Bloot and Skithia are pretty sick characters, huh?

And shucks, you're making me blush, I'm not that good at writing, I just like doing it and these things just come to me, nothing special...

I'm glad you agree with me about Reggie, yeah, its just too bad they didn't give him more appearances, but what can ya do? Same for Bud Sr. and Jr.

What else did you comment on...? Oh yeah! I'm pretty sure that the whole M'arillian thing warranted a big announcement, though if it happened or not by a news anchor or the Code Masters, I have no clue! LOL! I'm glad you like everything so far, I hope this clear any confusion up and, yeah, I feel kinda bad for Sarah too! Hope you comment again!

Well, that's all for now folks! Till next time!
