CHAPTER 5

ACT 7

SCOUTING AROUND & MYSTIC TOWN…

0400 HOURS at Shiny Star City Silver Hawk Base…

So the emerald was a fake, was it?

Yes, General Risa. It looked so real I don't think the one holding the auction knew it was. I'm just glad we have someone on the team whose hubby is a gem enthusiast and taught him a few things.

Not to say Sis blew up the vault as well to prove a point.

Kipper chipped in.

Yes, there was that as well.

Alright then. As I promised you will all be paid. I have already gone and wired your money to your bank accounts as per-requested. I wish you all the best of luck.

Thank you general Risa.

With that, the call ends as Risa turns around in her chair with her chin on her hands thinking.

What now General?

I do not know Staff Sargent Connors. But this does put us in a bit of a pickle. Tell me any word on the other Emeralds yet?

Yes, from what we have gathered, it looks at if Shadow and the rest of only one, why this Trinity person now only has three, thus meaning there are two Chaos Emeralds left now. The green and blue ones.

Very well then. Does our client know we're here at Silver Hawk Base?

Yes, in fact, he has asked to have a video call with you right away Ma'am.

Very well, close and lock the door and I'll get the blinds.

Nodding Conner goes over and locks the door as Risa closes the blinds. After they were done, Risa goes over and hits a hidden panel in the wall and presses a button hidden behind it. The room goes dark and a screen comes out of the eves of the window with a soft buzzing sound. After a moment the screen automatically turns comes on with the sound of static and a click. After which a man's face shows up on the screen.

At the hidden Base on the little island on the coast of SSC…0800hours...

It's about time you called GENERAL Risa. I told you to call me as soon as you got there nearly a WEEK ago!

The man's voice sounded none too happy at being kept waiting.

Yes Mr. Robotnik sir. I'm sorry about that, but as soon we got her we had to play Mrs. Nice guy and clean up the mess you made along with some other things as well. It took longer than I originally thought. So please forgive me, Master.

The man scoffs and waves his hand in front of his face.

Very well, very well. Now tell me what you know.

Right. So from what we gather. This Dark Trinity has three of the seven Chaos Emeralds, why Shadow has one.

What of the other three?

Were still on the hunt for the green and blue one, and as for the yellow one, there is STILL no sign of it let alone a hint of its Chaos energy at all. But we do suspect that the Order has it.

WHAT?! THE ORDER!? HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE! HOW IS IT POSSIBLE THAT THE ORGANIZATION OF THE ANCIENT ORDER OF THE CRIMSON FANG HAS THE YELLOW CHAOS EMERALD!?

I do not know Master Robotnik, but from my understanding, they had it for a time now, and my spies have informed me that they have been training a couple of people for a time now to Join Shadow and his Team.

Growling out, Ivan slams his desk getting annoyed.

Very well Egg Boss Risa. Do try and keep me posted from now on will you?

Yes sir.

Now about our OTHER Egg Bosses? Have you gotten word from them?

Yes, I have. It turns out Egg Boss Corina has been apprehended and taken into custody but the Shinobi village, and that the Emerald she found was taken by this Trinity's followers shortly after the Weasel-Wolf found it. Her second informed me there in the works of trying to bust her out now.

Very well. Let me know when she is out so I can deal with her PERSONALLY.

As your wish Master Robotnik.

Now go, keep me posted. I think it's about time to call him back from his little VACATION.

Sir, you don't mean?

I do Egg Boss Risa, and I think he's gonna enjoy his HOMECOMING very much. Besides, I think he'll get the job done, unlike you lot who have failed me yet again.

Sir, I have not failed you?! I have been nothing but loyal to you!

That may be Risa, but you've yet to obtain even ONE Emerald for me. It's time we upped the game a bit I think. Besides. The job I have in mind will not only ensure me at least one of the Chaos Emeralds BUT a possible allyship with this Trinity person as well.

Sure about this Trinity person, well I think we have an idea on who she is,

OH? Do tell Egg boss Risa.

Well from what I have gathered and what has been told me by the panther and Mandarin Rabbit, I believe it to be my goddaughter Eris.

You don't say, do you? Well, well, well, well. This DOES make the game more instating now doesn't it? Perhaps, just maybe I can use this to my advantage and kill two birds with one stone.

Robotnik lets out a maniacal laugh confusing Risa.

Sir?

ENOUGH RISA! SEND YOUR SPIES OUT NOW TO KEEP AN EYE ON YOUR GODDAUGHTER AT ONCE AND KEEP ME POSTED! I WANT TO KNOW EVERYTHING SHE DOES, AND HAVE HER FOLLOWERS FOLLOWED AS WELL SO I CAN CONTACT THEM TO MEET WITH TRINITY! GO NOW AND DO NOT FAIL ME GENERAL RISA!

Rise blinks a few times in shock till she comes out of it and stands tall and salutes him.

As you wish Master Ivan Robotnik sir!

With that, Ivan ends the call and turns around, and sees his father in his hoverchair.

I take it you have a plan forming in that beautiful mind of yours my son?

Indeed, father, I do, and a right good one.

Oh, do tell.

It's simple father. If I can get ahold of Risa's goddaughter Eris, and if Risa is telling the truth, of her POSSIBLY being this Trinity person, then I'll end up having a very powerful ally in my mist. Meaning if I can control her, then I can get my hands on the emeralds as well, and a new Egg Boss too.

Oh how wonderful, and with the Chaos Emeralds, she has now we can create Eggman Land no problem he he he he…

Oh, even better father. If this goes according to plan, not only can we create your long life dream of Eggman Land but we can take over the World.

YES! THEN THOSE FOOLS WON'T KNOW WHAT HIT THEM! WILL SHOW THEM ALL! OH OH OH OH HA HA HA HA HAAAAAAA!

Ivan joins in his father's laughter as his face turns dark.

Leave me now father, I have a few...CALLS to make. I think my one Egg Boss is in hiding right now and I know JUST where he is.

Very well son. Do keep me posted if you would.

But of course father.

With that, Eggman turns around and floats out of his son's office. Once he was gone Ivan turns the call Screen back on and calls his third Egg Boss.

1100 hours in the down under at a hidden waterfall oasis Egg Boss base…

A man in his early thirties was relaxing his tent with a Vixen on her hands and knees as he takes her from behind. He has a hold of her tail as he rams into her pussy as he has a tight hold on the leash he has around her neck that was attached to a collar. As he rams into her, one of his men comes into his tent but stops at seeing his boss in the process of having sex with one of the local women. The man glances up and growls out yelling at the one who was bothering him.

WHAT IS IT NOW?! I THOUGH I SAID I DIDN'T WANT TO BE BOTHER FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS! CAN'T YOU MORON SEE I'M FUCKING COCK DEEP IN THIS BITCH!?

S-s-sorry boss. But Dr. Eggman Jr. Is on the l-l-line and wishes to s-speak with you right away sir.

Fuck!

Growling out he looks at the man.

Tell him to give me five minutes to finish with this bitch and I'll be right there. I'm almost there with her and I don't plan on leaving here till I'm done.

Y-yes sir. Right away.

With that, the guy leaves as the man finishes with the vixen. After another fifteen minutes, he was done leaving her in a state of pure pleasure as he took a fast shower and puts some pants on, and heads out with a leather vest on. He was a Human. His broad dark tan body was riddled with old scars from fights and animals. He puts his leather vest on, his right cybernetic arm sparkled in the late morning sunlight. His right cybernetic eyes makes a soft buzzing sound as it looks over the campsite. Gifts from his boss to show his loyalty. He was six foot five, had dark tan skin, dirty blond hair that was pulled back into a low ponytail, and his left eye was a deep golden yellow color. He puts on a cowboy hat that was decorated with crocodile teeth. His boots crunch in the hard dirt as he makes his way into another tent.

Well hey, there boss. Sorry to keep you waiting. I had OTHER matters to attend to that couldn't be kept waiting.

Yes, so your messenger said Mr. Solvac, just try not to do it again, please.

Right, I'll try not to. But onto business. What do I owe the pleasure for this call?

I have a job for you Mike, and one I think you will like quite a bit.

Oh? do tell?

How would you like to get reacquainted with an OLD colleague of yours why at the same time helping me gain a new Egg Boss.

Don't know Boss? Who is this old colleague of mine?

I believe he goes by the name Birch Von Roke if I am not mistaken.

Mike's face takes on a dark expression as a smile spreads across his face.

You don't say? Well now, this is very convenient. I've been wanting to get him back for that raid years ago. So what do you wish me to do, and what can I do to him to get back at him?

He is to remain unharmed for now. BUT I wish you to make contact with someone for me he is associated with.

Oh, who is that?

Well as you know I have been seeking out the famed Chaos Emeralds for late to help build my father's dream not to say take over Mobius as well.

Right, right, go on sir.

Mike stands there folding his arms listening to him.

Well, it turns out I'm not the only one after them. It seems that there is a girl out there by the name of Eris…

Do you mean the Crystal Queen?

Yes, the very one. So you have heard of her hmm?

Who hasn't with her rep as a Master Extreme Gear Rider?

Right. Well, it turns out, according to Egg Boss Risa, she has a few of the Chaos emeralds and is part of some kind of prophecy as well. A dark one was about the Black Arms come back to rise once more.

Hmm? So what is it you wish me to do?

One, I want you to come back as soon as possible. Two I wish for you to meet back up with Birch, BUT I want no harm done to him. In due time you can get your revenge on him, but I need him to get to Eris. Three, if things go according to plan I wish for you to offer out an invite to become an Egg Boss. I think with her power, reputation, and more, she will be a very POWERFUL ally to the Eggman Empire. Four, lastly if she declines tell her I know all about the Prophecy and I know how to help gather the remaining Emeralds she needs. Let her know I know of Trinity as well. Address her as Royalty, and do not let her know something is up.

Alright. I think I can do it. But what's in it for me besides getting back at the bear?

Name it and it's yours once the Eggman Land is built and the Empire reigns supreme.

Alright, deal. I'll set out now. I should be there in a day or two.

Good. See you then Mike.

They end the call as Mike chuckles out darkly.

Alright, boys it's I headed out. Where's my second at? I'll need him to watch over the base why I'm gone.

I'm right her boss, just got back from that errand you wanted me to do and heard everything, and I would like to request to come with this time if possible? I wouldn't mind meeting up with my old friend Birch again myself.

Mike looks behind him and smiles as a Doberman Pinscher walks in smiling a toothy smile and chuckles. He had a scar over his left eye and it was whited out. He to had a few cybernetic upgrades himself. His right ear was all cybernetic allowing him to hear things from far away, up to a mile or so. His left leg was cybernetic as well giving him a powerful kick and enhanced abilities. He wore a pair of jeans with a black leather belt and steel-toed leather cowboy boots, and a black tight-fitting tank top.

So you've had your run-in with Birch to huh Zachery?

You could say that yes.

Zachery chuckles out darkly as he looks over at someone and growls out.

YOU GET YOUR SORRY ASS OVER HERE NOW YOU WORTHLESS SLIME!

The one he was yelling at runs over and stands before his higher up.

S-S-Sir?

I and the big boss here are gonna be gone for a few days, we want you to watch over things why we're gone got it?

L-Lord Mike...S-Sir?

You heard him you slime ball. But I think I have someone better in mind for this job than him Zach.

Do you mean her?

Yeah, I do. Go find Tiffa now let her know I got something special for her to do.

R-Right away sir.

Don't bother Mike. I'm right here.

Ah, Tiffa my pet how good of you to join us.

Oh shut it, Mike.

A red female hybrid Bat/Echidna walks into the tent as she folds her wings in she glares at Mike in discus and rolls her eyes at him with a scoff... Her hair was shoulder length and was in a half ponytail. She had black leather spiked fingerless gloves on and tight low rider leather jeans on. With her outfit she had a crop top on and leather high heel boots. In her ears were a few studs and around her neck a spiked collar. She had black silver glitter eye shadow on and pink lip gloss.

Zachery, I got that thing taken care of like you asked of me.

Good. So we need you to watch over the base why were gone. We've been called away by the Big Boss for a mission.

You're joking, right?

Ask looks at Zachery with a raised eyebrow and a folded hand on her hip why jester with the other.

We had a deal, Zachery. You promised me some time off after this job was done and now you're going BACK on it? The hell is wrong with you fleabag?

I know my love, I know. I promised you time off and you will get it soon as we're back.

Tiffa huffs out and turns around annoyed as she folds her arms as Zachery walks over and behind her placing his hands on her arms rubbing them.

Come now my beloved, don't be like this. Had it been any other person I would stay here with you, but I got a score I been wanting to settle with that Grolar bear for a long time. So please. Do it for me my little Cherry Drop?

Growling out she sighs and shakes her head and rolls her eyes as she looks over her shoulder at him till she turns around and points a finely manicured nail at his chest and places a hand back on her hip as her ears fold back annoyed.

Fine you stupid fleabag, but you owe me so big it won't even be funny.

Zachery smiles and wraps his arms around her and pulls her close.

I promise when we get back you can have all the time off you want.

Huffing out, Tiffa pushes away from him and walks off a bit, and folds her arms again. Zachery goes over and wraps his arms around her and rests his chin on her shoulder kissing her cheek and nuzzles it softly.

You're buttering me up and you KNOW I hate when you do that.

Hey, I could make it up to you right now if you like? I mean if you catch my drift.

He chuckles out a bit darkly and she glances at him with a bit of a smirk.

Oh really?

Yeah, I mean we do have time don't we Mike?

I'm sure we could make time for you and Tiffa to have a little fun, sure? To be honest I wouldn't mind fucking the little vixen again since I have a feeling will be gone for a time.

See, my payback is already starting now my sweet Cherry Drop.

Oh, you cute. Both of you are morons you know that?

She looks to the both of them smiling and shakes her head.

As much fun as that sounds, I'm gonna have to take a rain check on that. Unlike you two who get to go on fun" REVENGE" adventures, I have REAL work to be doing. You know these slime balls idiots can't do two things without fucking something up if I'm not there to babysit them. Besides, I think you both should leave right away to not keep the Big Boss waiting. You know he's going to want Monroe on his side ASAP.

So you HAVE been listening in have you?

Tiffa chuckles out and pushes herself away from Zachery with a wink and she gently flaps her wings and lifts off the ground.

Hey, I'm part bat you know? It's my job to ease drop on things. I mean, how else will I find out what you two are up to?

She giggles out and flies off looking over her shoulder and gives a two-finger kiss their way and a wink.

Anyway, I have plans already. I got something I'm doing for the big boss myself and I need to check into it and see how it's going. So till then, I'll see you both later.

With that, she flies out of the tent as mike and Zachery look at one another.

Well, I guess we best go. Besides boss just think? We'll be in Shiny Star City by tomorrow night, and I heard they had some nice clubs there and even more Mobian girls than you can shake a stick at, and I', sure some of these are fresh and new. The kind you like to break in.

Zachery chuckles out darkly as he folds his arms with a wicked smile.

True that Zachery. True that. Alright, let's get packing then, I want to be out of here before nightfall.

Right, I'll get started now and be ready by 1600 hours.

Sounds good to me.

With that Zachery leaves to go get ready.

Oh, Zach before you go?

Yeah, boss?

Pack that one Extreme Gear up as well. Will present it to Monroe as a...GIFT, if you would from the big Boss. I think she will get more use out of it than any of us will.

Right, I'll make sure it gets packed up first.

Good. No, go, you only have three hours till we leave.

Nodding Zachery heads out to get ready, but unbeknownst to him, high in the trees was Tiff listening in. She had heard everything and knew what Gear they were talking about. As she looks down she sees that Zachery talking with one of their men and flies off to meet up with someone herself.

Back in SSC...1615 hours….at Golden Park….

Dax was with the golden-colored feline and her sister once again. It had been a couple of weeks now since they came back from seeing General Risa and even now, Dax felt a bit off-putting bout his and Mayling's meeting with the Sabertooth cat. They were at Golden Park that was close to Mayling's home in the city where she and Dax watched Elisea playing with the wild Chao that lived there.

I don't know Marigold? I mean I felt something was off with her but I couldn't place my finger on it at the time. Even Mayling said she felt something off about the general as well.

Then Maybe something is off with the General? I mean if you both felt it could only mean it to be true right?

Hey, Elisea, stay close by and don't go running off.

Alright Dax I won't go far I just wanna go play with the Wild Chao over by the fountain.

Alright.

Marigold giggles as she watches Dax calls out to her sister. He had been a blessing to both of them in the last couple of weeks since they met. She and Dax had become very close very fast, and he truly loved her little sister a lot. Dax, going against Maylibg's wishes, told her almost everything going on and she told him she believed him and understood. At first, Dax didn't believe her, only thinking she was doing it to make him feel better, but that was till she started to have weird dreams of late. She told him it wasn't his fault in the least, that her family lineage sometimes would get dreams warning them of things yet to come. But they were never very absolute in the end. Dax had found out that Mari and her baby sister were at the hospital the day they met, that she worked there at the child care center. He also learned that she and Elisea were the only members of their family, their parents having passed away when she was only nine and Elisea only four years old. So it had always been them.

It was because of that, he felt some kinship with her in a way.

I know I went with you to meet her, but I stayed outside to wait for you, feeling it was something you had to do on your own.

And I'm now wishing you came in with us just so you could feel for yourself on what I meant.

Maybe in due time, I will. But for now, let's head back home, it's almost dinner time and my stew should be almost ready, and you did promise Elisea that you would stay for dinner tonight till she had to go to bed.

Yeah, I did promise that. HEY ELISEA TIME TO GO!

Awww, but I wanna stay with the Chao and play some more.

Sorry, little snowflake but we need to go, my stew should be done soon.

STEW!? YAY YAY YAY YAY!

Elisea says bye to the Chao and runs to her sister and Dax.

I never knew a kid who loves to eat their veggies as much as she does. I thought all kids hate veggies.

Well, she's not all kids now is she?

True, she's not.

Elisea grabs a hold of Dax's hand and pulls on him making him cry out in surprise as he laughs.

Come on Dax lets go, let's go, let's go! My sis makes the best stew ever!

OK, OK haha.

Marigold giggles out till she cries out as well from Dax grabbing her hand and they head off to her place.

Monroe Cabin, 1845 hours…

Nicely done Snowdrop. You did well on bringing this to me and in such a fast manner too. I'm quite pleased with your work. Tell me did you have any problems?

Nothing I couldn't handle no. I did have a run-in with Birch's old Teammate though?

Which one?

The purple one. I believe her name was…

Micha…

Birch growls out annoyed and scoffs.

Yes her. It looked like she has become his Knight as the Prophecy foretold.

Well, no matter, we already have three of the seven Emeralds we just need the other four now for my accession to power. Now tell me, Birch, will Micha become a problem?

No, I don't think so, not unless she has formed a bond with him and his Emerald she shouldn't be.

That's just it though Master Birch. I think she has.

What do you mean Snowdrop?

What I mean to say is that when I managed to get away from her she looked different. She had wings, and her outfit was different than when I first saw her on the Island. Not only that, but even the Prince has formed a bond with Emeralds Master as well.

What?!

Easy Birch my pet, easy. There is no need to worry, all things come to those who wait. Isn't that right Doctor Issa Long?

Indeed they do, and as promised you Majesty your new mount is growing fast and strong. Your new Black Arms Dragon will be ready come the day of the Blood Red Moon.

Eris smiles at him as she looks to Birch and Snowdrop as she thinks for a moment more.

Tell me how is that OTHER project coming along? You know, the one Skye has been working on?

From what I understand he's been working nonstop on it when he has time. He has assured me it will be ready on time to come to the final race.

Good. What of Shadow?

Last I hear he was heading into the forbidden zone to look for the Organization to get the yellow Emerald. Once he has it I'll take it from you as planned.

no.

Princess?

Mother has informed me to let him keep it for now till the time is right. Let him think he has won for now. She wishes to use it and him to draw out the remaining Knights that will follow him.

Then what?

I am not sure yet. For now, how are the plans coming along for the preliminaries for the World Grand Prix Birch?

So far everything is going according to plan. We just need to wait for Shadow to send me that data he promised for more members.

Right, and from how things are going it looks like it's taking him some time. No matter. Dr.?

Yes, Trinity?

Keep me posted on my mount's condition and let me know if anything goes wrong. It was quick thinking of you to hide that one egg when you did. You have been nothing but faithful and loyal to me during my absents. I am glad I gave you the ability to stay alive for this long. But as my new mount is growing I wish for you to look into something more me that only your expert knowledge can do.

What is it, Princess Trinity?

I want you to look into more of this prophecy if you would please. I want you to find out every detail that could have been left out. Anything hidden within its text and more. Got it?

But of course you Majesty.

Good. Reggie how you doing so far?

As well as I'll ever be. But having my Emerald this close unnerves me. I didn't think it would be found so fast. I know what my role in this must be, but yet, I still feel unsettled by all of this due to knowing the outcome of it all for me, and before you ask, yes I am doubting myself right now. No, I am not turning against you at all. I am loyal to a fault and I intend to stay that way no matter the outcome or consequences of what I must do. The spirits are restless right now and they...PLAGUE... whispering to me telling me it was too soon. But I knew it would be and now it's a new risk factor they fear will show up sooner rather than later.

What sort of risk factor?

I am unsure at this point. But I have a feeling I will know it when I see it.

Very well, just be careful Reggie, you're a key member of this group right now and we will need you for later on as your know?

Yes, I know. But now if you would mind, I would like to get working on those designs for that project you asked me to do. I managed to get a hold of Mr. Ratcliffe and Avery's sister and they agreed to help us out. Why Miss Calico was thrilled to bits at having this opportunity to work with not only you but Asmodeus as well. Said it had always been a dream of her to work with the grate Asmodeus Amadeus Ratcliffe.

Good. Then get to working with them now and see what you can come up with.

Right, I'll be heading out now and will get back to you soon.

Good, then this little get-together is adjourned for now. Everyone, keep me posted on things and how they all go. Dr. Issa do you need help getting out of here without being spotted?

No, no, I have my way of doing things. So no need to worry about me.

Good then get going as well.

Everyone nods and takes their leave. Birch stays behind as Eris walks over to her window overlooking the lake and sighs out.

Is everything alright?

Yes, for now at least. Just trying to make sure everything goes according to plan is not easy. I mean I am living four live pretty much you know. Work, the Team, being the new Black Arms Princess, and just being me….sigh... it's not easy.

Birch comes up behind her and wraps his arms around her. She smiles and places her hands on his arms sighing out as he rests his chin on her shoulder.

You know, I do know away to help relieve that stress you have right now?

Oh?

Sure, and it would be fun too.

He softly purrs out as he slowly reaches down her midsection and goes for the waistband of her yoga pants and starts to slide a hand down them as she kisses her neck. She giggles and stops him as she looks at him over her shoulder.

Not yet big guy. You know I'm not ready for that yet.

Hmm….but well if I can't have that one yet, how about your tail hole at least? You got to at least let me have THAT first? Come on, please? We have been together for nearly three weeks now and I'm dying to take you to your damn room and have my way with you, even if it's by force.

Birch!

Eris giggles out turning around in his arms and wrapping hers around his neck as she grabs a hold of her ass neat her tail base as they share a kiss.

Please baby? Or at most some foreplay?

No, not yet. I want everything to remain in tacked till it's time.

Sighing out he nods.

Then mind if I go have my fun with a twin-tailed fox instead?

You know he won't let you not why he is working.

Birch growls out annoyed letting it out as a sigh.

Yeah, your right.

But if you like, I'll let you go find someone else to fuck to get rid of the sexual frustration. Just don't go turning them or knocking them up got it. But do make sure it's fun for you at most. I could care less if it is for them.

Thanks. I may try that if I can't get Skye to bed with me tonight. But for now you hungry?

To be honest I'm STARVING… I haven't eaten anything at all today and I really could go for something to eat right about now.

Good, then I know just the place. I'll order and have them delivered and we can stay here and cuddle how about it? Maybe get Skye out of his workshop log enough to join us.

Fine, but I get to pick the movie and you both have to suffer through it no matter what I pick.

So help me if it's THAT one again I'll leave you for good and go find another Black Arms Princess to join up with.

Yeah, good luck with that since I'm the only one around. Besides I had a new one in mind. That is if you don't mind ready subtitles since it's in another language. But it looked like a really cute movie.

What's it called?

Kopi and June.

What's it about?

Well from what I saw, it's about a family who takes in a hyperactive stray who is scared of kids till they get a second chance at having kids again and the dog learns that not all kids are bad and she forms a strong bond with the mother and daughter even though she kind of hates the father because he dislikes her even when she tries to befriend him.

Hmm? Sounds too family-friendly if you ask me.

Eris looks at him with a deadpan look.

That's the point, Birch.

Hey, didn't you get to pick LAST time anyway?

OK OK fine… you can pick. But it better be good.

Good, then we're watching Outside The Wire.

What's that once about? I saw it on Flickies, but never really took a look into it yet.

In short, action pact movie about some army guy who goes against his commanding officer's orders and gets himself demoted from drone pilot to being on the field where he is teamed up with some kind of cybernetic robot or whatever thing who ends up going rogue and uses him to try to take some nuclear codes to launch them on another part of the planet to get revenge for his human friends or something. It's one I been wanting to watch for a time and would love to see it.

I have been wanting to see it as well myself.

Eris and Birch look over and see Skye walking in covered from head to tails in oil and dirt and more.

Shit, Skye? You go to an all females wrestling match or something and ended up with a few of them in the after-party?

Eris asks him giggling.

Hope not I would have loved to come with since she STILL won't let me have her.

Birch tells him as Skye giggles.

No, not quite, but close. I just had a bit of an oil spill is all and it landed mostly on me. I did manage to clean up what was on the floor though, but now I need a good bath myself.

Well, hurry up. Birch said he would buy dinner and we could do a movie and cuddle night tonight.

Alright. I could go for something to eat anyway as is. I'm starving.

That's makes two of us now go hurry.

Right.

Skye heads up to go shower as Eris pulls from Birch and heads to go lay down on the sofa in the entertainment room for a bit. Birch heads to go order dinner when his cell rings. Sighing out he takes it out and answers it.

Hello?

Hey Birch it's me, Avery. I was wondering if Eris was about I can't get a hold of her on her cell it keeps going to voice mail.

Yeah, she must have turned it off during our meeting and has yet to turn it back on. So what's going on, is everything alright?

Yeah, everything's cool Birch, I just wanted to ask a few follow-up questions for my blog before I do the final piece was all. Is there any way you could get her for me please? Or at most have her…. Oh, hold a moment I think that's her on Wyvern now…

Hey, Avery sorry about that, I was in a meeting and just got your voice mail so what's up?

Oh hey give me a moment, I have Birch on the phone.

Sure. Oh and tell him if he orders to get chines from that new place that just opened up, and tell him I want extra shrimp and egg rolls, please.

Sure thing. Did you get that Birch?

Yeah, I got it I'll call now and talk to both of you later.

With that, he hangs up and chuckles out as he orders from the new Chinese place in town. After he calls and makes an order for the delivery he heads up to go meet with Eris and as he does he sees her talking with Avery on the big screen TV on Wyvern catching some of their convo.

Hmm… I would have to say my biggest thing would have been when I found out I finally made the top honers in my G.U.N Cadet classes with flying colors, and I made Sargent First Class right then and there. It was the best day ever when….

Eris stops talking for a moment as memories flash in her mind and her old self from before the accident shows herself. Birch catches this and does Avery and birch hurries over to her placing a hand on her shoulder.

"You mean when MY DAD you fucking bitch. He was never your father at all. He was mine and mine alone, and if he was here today I just know he would hate you, hate ME for letting you take over as you did. So just give in and piss off. I want my life back, AND I WANT IT BACK RIGHT NOW! THERE IS NO WAY YOU CAN WIN TRINITY! NOT SO LONG AS I AM IN HERE WITH YOU! SO LONG AS I'M IN HERE WITH YOU, YOU WILL LOSE.

Oh shut it you little nagging cunt! I'm sick of hearing your voice every time something about him comes up. Remember Eris, you and me and one and the same. Have been since the day you were born. So your memories are MY memories. Your triumphs were always mine. Your goals are MY GOALS. Every single one of them.

Not all of them WITCH! UNLIKE YOU I DO NOT WISH TO RULE THE WORLD OR TAKE IT AND IT'S PEOPLE DOWN! THAT'S ALL YOU! NOT ME, AND WHEN SHADOW FIGURES IT OUT HE WILL STOP YOU! I KNOW HE WILL! HE WOULD NEVER LET ANY HARM COME TO ME OR THE PEOPLE OF THIS WORLD!

Don't bet on it girly. I already have a new plan set in motion for him and his little gang, and once it comes full force there will be no stopping it. So just go back to your little crystal cell where you belong and piss off. Unless you wish I put you back in that dark cell once again. Remember Eris, I'm doing this for Reggie.

Reggie?! He knows what's going on, he will stop you I know it!

Don't bet on it, he has already joined up with me since the day of the fashion show, and now we have his Emerald so it is only a matter of time.

I don't think so, Trinity. He told you, you would be your own downfall with my help, and when the time comes I will take you down, you self-loathing BITCH!

THAT IS IT! I HAD ENOUGH OF YOU! THIS TIME I PUTTING YOU SO FAR BACK IN OUR MIND DARKEST REACHES THAT BY THE TIME I AM FREE YOU WILL BE NOTHING MORE THAN A SHELL OF YOUR FORMER SELF THAT NOT EVEN SHADOW CAN SAVE YOU FROM IT, AND BY THEN I WOULD HAVE WON AND THIS PLANET WILL BE MIND! NOW BE GONE YOU TRMAP!"

With that, Trinity uses her powers and pushes Eris and her Crystal prison into the deepest, darkest parts of their mind and locks her way the only sound being that of Eris crying out. When she comes to finally after a soft shake she looks to Birch and narrows her eyes with a smile. At once he could feel something different about her and he nods.

Avery, you think we could pick this up some other time? Eris has had a long day and she's not feeling too good right now.

Huh? Oh, yeah sure no problem. Sorry about that Boss I wasn't thinking. But I think for now I got everything I need for the final draft for the new update to the blog. So rest for now and enjoy your night.

Thanks, Avery, and by the way what are you doing tomorrow?

Not sure yet, I know my sister will need help with getting things ready to meet up with Mr. Ratcliffe, but I think that's it. Why, what did you have in mind?

How about lunch? Just the two of us. There is something I wish to...DISCUS... with you. It's about becoming a full-fledged member of my Team.

Whoa, really Boss?

Yes. So how about we meet up say...oh how about 11 am sharp? There's a place I would like to show you and a few very special people I wish for you to meet as well.

Sure I'll let my sister know will have to be done before then and I'll be book the rest of the day with you.

Good, till then I wish you a lovely night Avery.

With that, she shuts the TV off and gets up stretching out as she looks to Birch.

What happened?

That little good for nothing popped back up when she wasn't needed. So this time I sent her to the deepest, darkest reaches of our minds to the point when and IF that blasted hedgehog DOES saver in time, she will be nothing more than a husk of her former self. For now, I will continue to play as her like I have been doing, in short, I still have a tiny part of her out to keep up the facade but otherwise, that's it. Now come I wish to get started with some us time. Skye should be down soon and I wouldn't mind a little R&R.

What about when he comes back home?

I'll have to tread carefully then. I know Shadow is no fool, and if I underestimate him even ONCE, I know it will end badly. That is if he has yet to realize the truth yet.

Birch softly growls out as he thinks for a moment but nods in agreement.

Good now come. I know just the movie to watch tonight.

It better not be a family-friendly movie.

Oh no I have something better in mind for the three of us.

She winks at him taking him by surprise.

But I thought…

Yes, you thought, but that was before now. You don't have to do it there you know, to get what you want. I mean I do have a nice tight little tail hole you can take advantage of.

She winks at him once more as she heads upstairs herself.

Where are you going?

Well since the day is done I thought I'd head upstairs to my room for a shower before the food gets here and I thought I'd slip into something nice for tonight. So have at the TV and that till I'm back, and no starting the movie without me got it?

I'll make sure we won't start without you.

Good, now I'll be back in fifteen.

With that, she saunters upstairs to get ready for the night leaving Birch to his own.

Back up on Angel Island over the Down under... 05:30 am, in the forbidden zone...

Manik behind you! Don't let your guard!

WHOA! THE HELL THAT COME FROM!

HA! I TOLD YOU NOT TO UNDERESTIMATE ME, YOUR HIGHNESS!

Mallory shoots another round of arrows at Manik as he takes to the air once more. He manages to dodge them this time but he was running on empty now. He banks right and makes a wide u-turn and meets back up with Shadow. He lands next to him panting hard as she stumbles a bit and Shadow catches him.

Easy there Manik. You alright?

Y-yeah...just getting tired is all. They're giving it their all.

Tell me about it. That little brat with the boomerang is really giving it to me. Not to say Regina and the other two as well.

What are we going to do Shadow? Without Micha here to help us were gonna lose for sure.

I don't know, but I do know if we don't step it up we're done for. I don't know what is going on, but this stress can be good for Regina if anyone.

What do you mean?

She's risking a lot right now. Not just her but her unborn child.

WHAT!?

Yeah, she told me a bit ago she was carrying, saying it was something she had to do because she owed Micha's mother a lot.

But that is INSANE… doesn't she know she could end up hurting it and herself?

Just as Shadow was about to say something, Regina calls out an attack.

ARCANE GALE STORM CRIES!

A deadly force of wind shoots at them, it hits both Shadow and Manik dead on with winds like razor blades. It slices through their clothing and skin cutting deep into them. They cry out in pure shock and pain as their blown back. They hit a pile of old run-down cars hard and they gasp out as the air is knocked out of them. They fall to the ground with a hard thud and lay there groaning in pain. Blood starts to pool around them as Shadow slowly gets up, followed by Manik.

So boy's, had enough yet?

HA! That the best you got "TECHNO QUEEN"? More like Techno Freak.

Oh, your cute kid, but don't test me. Just give up already and admit defeat.

Not yet Fox. We can still go on.

Shadow says as he walks up to Manik and places a hand on his shoulder.

Are you sure about that Shadow? I mean you both look ready to fall flat on your faces.

Manik, stand back and let me handle them from here on out.

No way Shadow, forget it, I can take whatever they throw at me.

Manik, I said stand down now.

But Shadow?!

I SAID STAND DOWN MANIK! THAT'S AN ORDER!

He looks at Manik growling out and he backs up sighing out.

Fine. But the moment you look like your in trouble I'm stepping in. I don't care what you say then, I won't let you go down alone.

Nodding, Shadow looks back at Regina and the three Hooligans.

So what's it gonna be Shadow? You gonna back down why you still can or what?

Sorry, but there is too much at risk right now to give up right now.

Shadow you can barely stand let alone fight.

SHUT IT! DON'T TELL ME WHAT I CAN OR CAN NOT DO VIXEN! IF YOU WON'T CONTINUE FIGHTING THEN SO BE IT! I'LL END THE FIGHT HERE AND NOW! I'M TIRED OF PLAYING YOUR LITTLE GAMES! WHETHER IT WAS THIS PATHETIC ORDERS DOING OR NOT I DON'T CARE! NOW...

CHAOS QUANTUM BLAST!

Shadow yells out as he holds up his hand and a fireball starts to slowly form in his hand. Growling out he looks to the three Hooligans and Regina as Manik yells out at him.

SHADOW WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOUR DOING?! YOU USE THAT MOVE YOU'LL KILL US ALL!

Regina, Mallory, Lulu, and Legen look on as they back up a bit. Regina smiles as she calls forth a move.

ARCANE SPHERE!

The Hooligans crowd around Regina as a strong sphere surrounds them as Shadow's attack grows in size. Unsure of what to do Manik looks around for someplace to hide but doesn't find one. Growling out he gets ready to take flight but remembers he would have nowhere to go with Regina's Cage in place.

SHADOW ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR FUCKING MIND?! STOP NOW BEFORE YOU END UP KILLING US ALL!

Shadow barely looks at Manik as he sees the worry on his face. He ignores him as he lets his attack grow even bigger.

Hey ah...Aunty Gigi?…

Just hush Mallory.

But Gigi…

Sis shush….

Mallory gulps as she tries to back away but finds she can't. Already she was starting to regret having this showdown with Shadow and Manik. She was already tired and wearing down much like her sister and Boba, but yet at the same time she was still standing, and from the looks of it so was Shadow and they had clearly pissed him off. She looks over at Manik worried and back at Shadow as his attack continues to grow yet nearly filling the top half of the dome.

Oh shit, this is not good. Gigi, I think we may have overdone it?!

Not yet we haven't. We still have an ace up our sleeve.

Regina stands there with the utmost confidence as she folds her arms and stands her ground.

Last chance Vixen? Give in now or get incinerated. You and those damned kids.

Sorry, but I'm gonna have to pass. So how about I bring out my final attack that should be more than enough for yours?

You don't know who you're messing with Vixen?

Oh, don't I?

Ravers Howling Blast….

With that, Regina starts hitting all the buttons on her digital keyboard and a moon shines in the early morning skies as the howling of a wolf could be heard as a rainbow outline of a wolf could be seen starting to form and becoming whole.

Ooh shit… that does not look like a very nice puppy Shadow.

As if that thing could….

But before he could finish his sentence, there comes the sound of several people yelling….

JADE DRAGON BLAST!

HOWLING FANG BLAST!

CHAOS STARLIGHT BLAST!

ANUBIAL BLAZE!

All four attacks combined into one strong powerful attack and twist together and down onto the dome of the Ravers cage. It hits dead center and for a moment it looks as if the cage was too strong for the combined attacks, but soon it starts to waver and before long a loud sizzling sound could be heard as Regina and everyone else looks up and sees the attack coming. Shadow growls out as he finally readies his attack should something else happen, Manik looks on wondering what to do since he didn't have much in choice powers to truly help but his speed, the three Hooligans look on in aw too stupefied to put two and two together, and Regina just smiles as her final attack was now ready and with narrow eyes, she nods as her attack howls out and starts to power up and unleashes a mighty powerful energy beam Shadows way right at the same time Shadow unleashes his Chaos Quantum Blast and the other four attacks finally brakes threw the dome and they hit all at once. They all combined into one and grow in size where it holds for a moment and soon it explodes in a flash of light sending everyone every which way knocking most out cold.

For a time everything was dead quiet. Not a sound could be heard, but the soft breathing of everyone. The only two that didn't get it full blast were Micha and Maverick due to being high up in the skies and only getting some of the force from it and sent flying back some. They had opened their wings to slow their backlash some and hover in place for a moment. After they steady themselves they fly down to the ground and land in the middle of the dust cloud coughing.

SHADOW, MANIK? ANYONE OUT THERE?

REGINA, LULU, MALLORY, BOBA YOU GUYS ALRIGHT? HEY WERE IS EVERYONE!?

HEY WHO IS THAT? MANIK IS THAT YOU?

HEY, I THINK I FOUND SOMEONE!?

Maverick calls out and Micha goes running towards his voice along with the other two who had managed to barely survive the blast without being knocked out as well.

WHO IS IT MAVERICK?

I think is a fox?

He tells her as she comes running up with the other two.

AUNTY GIGI?!

The one who yelled out goes running to Regina and bends down to hold her and check her over.

HEY BOBA IS SHE ALRIGHT?

The other finally comes up and stops dead in his tracks as he looks over at Micha who in turn gasps out as she sees the other guy with the kid.

M-Mica?

Micha?

Hey, I found three more that look like you, Micha!

What?…

Micha shakes her head and turns around and goes over to where Maverick called out to her, with Mica right behind her. When seeing them he sighs out scratching at the back of his head as he fixes his hat.

Well, I'll be fucked. I think we overdid it? When ma finds out she may not be too happy about it. Though from my understanding they always bounce back harder than the last time, especially with as much trouble they cause Aunt Regina.

What?! H-hold on a second. You're telling me...that...

Micha looks at Mica confused as she looks at them and him a few times.

THERE MY SIBLINGS?!

Yeah, younger siblings to be excited.

What the HELL?!

Listen Micha it's great seeing you again and all but I think we need to find everyone and make sure they're all alright.

What...yeah right, right. I need to find Shadow and Manik fast. If the blast from our attacks did this to them, I can only imagine what it did to them.

Not waiting for a word from anyone else, Micha jumps into the sky and with a powerful beat of her wings she blows the rest of the lingering dust cloud away and flies up higher. It doesn't take her long to spot them both out cold and in really bad shape.

MAVERICK QUICKLY THIS WAY!

Looking up at Micha's call he sees her flying off and he goes after her. In just a few moments they were near them both. As Micha lands, she gaps out at seeing her friends in such bad shape.

Maverick you said you could heal right?

Yeah, I'll start with the blue one he looks the worst of the two.

Nodding at him she heads over to Shadow to make sure he was alright as Maverick went to tend to Manik. He bends down and gently moves him seeing a bit of steel sticking out his right side. Sighing out he braces himself and pulls it out causing the wound to gush out more blood than what should be possible. Thinking quickly he covers the wound with his hands to stop the bleeding as Mica comes over and takes off his vest and pushes him out of the way and holds it in place.

Whatever my sister is talking about you best do it now bat, and do it fast he's losing a lot of blood.

Right.

Standing up he claps his hands together and he calls out his healing move.

Anubis's Healing Blessing….

His hand starts to glow a golden color as his power emanates from them.

O Blessed Father of the night, hear my call and Beseech me now. I ask you to grant me your power of healing so that I may save this one's life.

The moment he says those very words, the sound of a bell tolling sounds off and shimmering like starts to form the shape of something in front of him. Mica at first was taken back by what was going on as he watches. It looked canine in shape, and at the same time almost like Maverick himself. But the features looked more jackal than anything. It had long pointed ears that stood up tall and proud, he had an outfit much like Maverick's in similar form and he held two items in his hand, one being a Crock and the other a Flail. As the shimmering lights take on a more solid form, as it does one could see its eyes were a pure golden color.

I head your call my chosen Warrior and I will do as you ask. But tell me what it is I shall receive in return. For you know that for a life given, one must be taken as you were taught, and therefore I ask for a boon to save this young one's life.

My lord as of right now I have nothing but my own life. But as you know I can not give mind to save another. So therefore I ask...no BEG that you save this young one's life on my behalf. He is needed in something much bigger than we originally thought and his strength will be needed.

You know very well Maverick I can not do so without something in return. Unless something is given for this life I can not do so. If there is no boon then I can not save this one's life.

But what is it you wish? There is great evil at work and darkness looms over all of this Zone. If he is not saved here and now…

ENOUGH MAVERICK!

Maverick shuts up right away bowing his head in respect.

Please forgive my outburst, I should know better. But I beg of you to reconsider this one time to save him. He is losing his life fast and he is needed to help quail the darkness that is coming. I ask you not only as your loyal follower, and Vessel but as your Warrior and friend. So please save him, and any of the others who may be wounded and hurt. I ask this of you as I bend to my knees and beg you my Lordship.

Maverick gets on his hands and knees and bows to Anubis placing his forehead to the ground.

You may beg and grovel all you like my Vessel, but you know I can not do so, even I have rules I must follow, and if I bend them even I could lose my powers as you know. Without a boon to seal the deal I can not save this brave one's life. This is the law of equivalent exchange.

What if I gave you this to save him and all the rest?

Everyone looks over to where the voice was coming from and they see Boba and the Hooligans and Regina walking over to them, all looking worst for wear. Regina had her arm around Boba's shoulders as he holds her up. She looked in bad shape from what they had seen beforehand. Mica looks over and softly gaps out.

Aunty Regina, you can't?!

If it will...help us...I will.

You would give up your unborn child just to save everyone here? Do you know what you're asking of me Vixen?

I do yes, but with that blast that happened it did a number on me and I can feel its life slipping away. So if it can save all the others then please do so. I can always have more children in the future. But they all only get one life to live. So please let them live it. Take my dying child's life and save the Prince's and heal the rest of us.

Aunty...Gigi no….you been waiting for a long time…

I know Mal Mal, I know. But if it saves the Prince and all of you…

Regina starts coughing as she holds her midsection. Boba helps her to the ground as she coughs up blood, it was then that Micha comes over with Shadow his arm around her shoulders as well as she holds him up. She looks over to the Hooligans and sees how bad of shape they were in, everyone holding onto one another. Growling out she looks to Anubis and yells at him.

YOU NEED TO SAVE THEM NOW! THERE ALL HURT AND TWO OF THEM ARE DYING, AND I WON'T ALLOW THAT! IF YOU NEED A LIFE THEN TAKE MINE, BUT LET THE REST OF THEM LIVE! I AM AT FAULT HERE! IF I WAS HERE WHEN I SHOULD HAVE BEEN, THEN NONE OF THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPENED! I AM AT FAULT FOR GETTING NEARLY EVERYONE KILLED! SO YOU WANT A LIFE THEN TAKE MINE AND LET HER AND HER CHILD AND THE REST LIVE! HEAL THEM ALL IF YOU CAN!

You ask much of me. But if it is your wish I will do so.

MICHA NO! YOU CAN'T! NOT AFTER WE JUST FOUND ONE ANOTHER!

Micha...he's right...if anything...I'll be fine on my own...I can heal my own wounds but...it will take a couple of days….

WE NEED TO DO SOMETHING RIGHT NOW! AUNTY GIGI IS LOSING BLOOD FAST, AND SO IS HE?! SO SOMEONE DO SOMETHING RIGHT NOW!

"Maybe I could help in the matter?"

Everyone looks around to see where the new voice was coming from. It sounded close by, yet all around them at the same time.

"Oh right, hold on…"

As they look around a flash of light comes from out of no were as someone steps out of it. At first, no one could see anything but the silhouette of a male. He was tall and slender looking and something told them he would be a sight to behold. The light dies down and it reviles his form. He was a bird. He was tall and slender as they thought, he had long elegant legs and beautiful white feathers with golden tips. His hair was done up in a topknot and had a gold and jeweled Imperial Hair Crown as the rest of his hair cascaded down his back down to his lower back. His talons sparkled a golden color into the early morning sunlight, and his winged arms fluttered out like fans. His Kimono flowed down to the ground in the back and just a few inches off the ground in front and was a bright vibrant red color with golden embroidery dragons on it, and with gold hems. The front of it was left opened and hung off his shoulders. His feet had red and gold silk open-toed foot covers that matched his Kimono. He had a black silk folding fan in his hand, and when opened it had a beautiful embroidery pattern of Sakura flowers on it. His tail rested on his Kimono and when he opened them up to show off one could see he was a Peacock with golden eyes on his tail feather. His beak was sharp and narrow coming to a fine point.

When the Hooligans look over at him and groaned out.

Oh, come on! I would rather DIE than have to put up with Mr. Flashy McFlashy's ass over there.

Mallory moans out.

Same here! I would rather put up with the afterlife than that bulbous windbag of a CHICKEN!

Legen sighs out.

The Peacock looks over at the Hooligans and huffs out.

Just shut it you two, I don't hear anyone else complaining that I'm here to help save your asses, you ungrateful little brats.

He says in a huff as he looks over to Anubis.

Yeah, that's because Boba and Lulu never had to put up with you.

To be honest we have.

Then you know what a bulbous windbag he is, and what a mega DICK he is too.

Listen, just shut the fucking hell up Mallory, I had about enough of you already.

WHAT!?

Mallory looks at her sister in shock blinking a few times. Even the others looking a bit taken back at her reaction to her sister.

Lulu?

Please, Master Riku Asahi, go on if you would. I don't think Regina and the Prince have much time left.

Thank you, Lulu, my dear. I always did like you and your brother Boba best. Now as I was saying. I am here to help.

Riku reaches into his kimono sleeve and pulls out an item. Both Boba and Lulu gasp out in shock as Boba looks at him.

Master Riku, you can't?!

He's right! That's been in your family for a long time, you can give that way. You told us it belonged to your mother.

Yes, it did indeed belong to my mother, children. But if it saves all of you and brings this stupid fighting to an end then so be it. Besides… This will be my punishment for lying to you for so long.

Lying to us?

Yes. I hope you both can forgive me. I hope all four of you can. I never wanted any of this for any one of you at all. But I could not go against the council or your mother, even though I have tried to I could not. Not without risking my raking and banishment from the Order. But I can say that by giving my most beloved and treasured item to save you all, I can hope to at least start making things right and end this fighting and suffering.

But your Jeweled tiger…

Yes, I know Mallory, my dear. I know. At least this way I know it will be with her once more. So please will you take it and save everyone here, even Regina's unborn child?

Are you sure?

I am yes. It hurts having to do this but I know it is for the better. It is but an item and nothing more. It can be replaced a life can not. If this is to your liking and helps full fill the equivalent exchange then take it with my blessing, please.

Very well. I shall take it and therefore the payment has been received. I will now heal all here of their wounds and save the lives who lay at death's door now.

With that, Anubis reaches for the jeweled Tiger and it vanishes in a flash of light. As it vanishes a golden light surrounds the group and within a few moments the light dies down and everyone is fully healed.

The payment has been received and thy blessing done. All are now well once more and I have saved the lives of the three. They should be waking up soon. If there is nothing more for me to do then I shall go now.

No there is nothing more for you to do Master Anubis.

With a nod, Anubis vanishes in a show of golden sparks as everyone now stands on their own.

Riku stands there looking at the place where Anubis was just moments ago as a tear falls from his left eye. Lulu sees this and runs over to him hugging the Peacock. He was taken back but doesn't look down at her but none the less he wraps his feathered arms around her.

Come now everyone, help the Prince and Regina back to Moonlight Dreams, your mother has been informed to have rooms ready should anyone need them and it looks like Regina and the Prince needs some rest, there is no telling how long they will be out. Mica go find the old quack, McFadden and have him come to Moonlight Dreams right away. If he refuses to do so, drag him down here by any means necessary so he can look over Regina and make sure both she and the child are well.

I was hoping to talk with my sister.

You will have plenty of time for that later now go, and hurry Mica.

Sighing out he looks to Micha who nods at him. He nods back and runs off to do as he was told, Taking Regina's Extreme Gear and hopping on it, and flies off.

You Hedgehog. Are you able to carry the fox?

I have a name you know?

Shadow tells him annoyed.

I'm sorry sir it's just I want to get everyone inside as soon as possible. So please would you help carry her in..ah…

The names Shadow.

Right, Shadow. So could you please?

Yeah, I'll take her, Micha you got Manik?

Yeah, I got him.

Here will help you as well.

Thank you, you two.

Micha looks at both Boba and Legen who go to help carry Manik. With everything, and one taken care of, Riku leads the way back to Moonlight Dreams.

Deep in the Jungles of the Scarce Islands… 0845 am…

Good Bitsy keep it up and don't let your guard down. The moment you do is the moment your enemies will attack.

A Grolar bear pants as she was thrown back. She digs her heels and hands into the ground as she looks up at her opponent. A fully grown seven-and-a-half-foot-tall male grizzly bear. She herself was just under a foot and a half shorter than him. She smiles as her bright blue twinkle behind her cream-colored fur. Her hair was up in a high braid as she readies herself. Standing up she brushes herself off and smiles as she tightens her gloves. Her outfit was a black crop top, with matching shorts. Two belts crisis-crossed around her waist and on either side was a combat knife. She had shoulder pads on that wrapped around and under her arms in a comfortable manner. Her shoes were black combat-style boots, with black socks that came up to her knees. In her ears, she had two small silver hoods that sparkled when the sun hit them. Lastly, she had black fingerless gloves on.

Not bad Alexie. But you're holding back, and you know I hate it when you do that. Now either come at me or I'm walking.

Growling out, the one named Alexie glares at her and huffs. His attire was much like Bitsy's. Only he had a skin-tight black tee-shirt on, black cargo pants, black combat-style boots, and he had a belt around his waist that went up and crossed in front and had a multitude of knives in their holders, and the same style of gloves as her and a black beret.

You know better to call me by my true name unless there is reason to Bitsy.

Oh but there IS a reason to.

And what would THAT be, hmm?

To annoy the hell out of you.

She smiles a cute cocky smile as Alexie shakes his head and sighs.

You know, if we weren't together you would regret that.

Hey, far as I can see right now I'm the only one taking this seriously. There is not much time left before the Blood Red Moon shows up and we need to be ready. Not to say we need to Gear up soon after this as well.

Alexie stands up and growls softly at her. Ever since the fall of her Aunt and finding out she would be trained for something big like she had always dreamed of, she had changed a lot, and part of him liked this new her, but he hated it as well, and sometimes he missed the old Bitsy. But he himself had changed quite a bit as well in the last few months since they were brought here to Scarce Islands for training. The moment they started it, everyone found out how much of a natural Bitsy was at it, Alexie as well.

Alright, you want me to get serious then so be it, and this time I won't hold back.

Huffing out. He bangs his fists together and at once they come to life. His gloves were a special pair granted to him by their Master Kiroshi, and when powered up, they could send a near killer shock to anyone around him with one or two punches, or even blast a concrete wall to dust. Kiroshi told him they were used by the Ancient's long ago during the battle. Bitsy smiles seeing he was finally going to get serious at last and takes off her whip that was at her side. She had another form of weapons on her, but she liked her whip the best. It to was another of the Ancient's technology from long ago that still worked, and when she hit a button on the handle, it flared to life with a blue-tinted fire and thorns on it. It was then she hits the button and the thorns come out and it ignites as her whip surrounds her on the ground as she takes a battle stance.

So big boy, we gonna do this?

All she got was a grunt as Alexie runs at her and jumps into the air and pulling back a fist he readies to hit her. She sees it coming and jumps out of the last second as his fist makes contact with the ground, sending dirt and dust up and creates a small crater. Giggling out, Bitsy swings her whip back and sends it flying with a loud CRACK and sends it his way. He manages to block it in time as it wraps around his thick tree trunk arm. He grabs a hold of it and smiles as he looks up and swings her around a couple of times and sends her flying. She goes crashing into a stall making their master facepalm and shake his head.

Why is it you must ALWAYS provoke him during every training session Bitsy?

Someone asks her in an old soft raspy voice. Bitsy groans out and places a hand on her head and shakes it smiling at her Master. He sighs out and rolls his eyes behind closed eyes. Kiroshi was an 89-year-old Mobian wolf, his once beautiful summer black coat now dulled with time and age to a more silvery gray color. His beard was long and he leaned on a cane. Though old and hunched over, he was still a proud and powerful warrior, who still had a lot of kick left in him. Though his fighting days were over with he still loved training the next generation. He had on a long cotton and wool Ancient's cloak and his hood was down. His ears were full of long gray fluff and when he opened his eyes, they were a soft amber color and clouded over with age. The crow's feet at the corner of his eyes would always give away his amusement with his two favorite students.

Because it's fun seeing him get worked up like that. Not to say you did tell us we need to be at our best with the Blood Moon on its way here. So I thought…

You thought you would kill two birds with one stone. Is that it?

Yeah.

She gives him a big smile giggling.

I do wonder how it is I ended up with such a child.

He sighs out as Bitsy gets annoyed.

HEY! I'M SEVENTEEN YOU KNOW! I'M HARDLY A CHILD!

Kiroshi looks over at her and smiles.

Indeed my dear Bitsy. Indeed. I only stated as such with how you tend to act out at times like a little kid just to make things fun. It's hard to believe how far you have come since your grandfather brought you here almost two years ago, and look how far you both come. To think here soon, it will be two years since you bath came to me.

Chuckling out his fluffy ears move about and he smiles as a pretty Biscotti wolf walks up to them. She had a bright cloudy white mask around her eyes, brown muzzle, arms, and body, and a long bushy tail that ends in several tufts of fur sticking out in various directions. She had long pointed ears as well. Her hair was long and always up in a high pony held back with a black hair tie, saver for her bangs that covered her right eye. Her fangs protruded from her mouth which is often in a natural frown.

Her clothing consisted of a cream-colored tube top, light gray leggings, a black and dark gray cloak in which she keeps six Wisp canisters, and had black and dark gray pockets on the shoulders. She also had on dark gray knee sleeves, black knee pads, black elbow pads, dark gray arm sleeves. Dark gray and light gray gloves, black and dark gray and light gray boots, a cream, and light and dark gray mask she used as a sniper scoop and a Wisp communication device, and a light gray eye shadow. Like her grandfather she always kept her eyes closed but when opened, they were a cadet blue. On her back was a Wispon cannon she uses in battle.

Grandfather?

AH Whisper my dear, what brings you here today?

I come for Bitsy and Tank. They have been summoned.

I see, so it's time then?

Yes.

Very well. Bitsy, Tank that's enough now. Time to settle down and to get ready. You've both been called.

Aw so soon, I yet to kick his ass all over. Whisper, why didja have to go and ruin the fun for.

Bitsy sighs out as Whisper giggles. Tank comes over and holds out a hand to Bitsy and she takes it thanking him as he hands her, her whip back. She rolls it up and places it back on her hip.

I would have had you this time you know Tank?

Yes, I'm sure you would have Bitsy. Now let's go. I bet you just about anything that the Elders want to send us on one last mission before we head back.

Sighing out they all leave, allowing Whisper to lead the way.

I wonder how my brother is doing, I miss him. I bet he will be surprised when he sees how much I've changed since last year.

The only thing I'm worried about is this feeling of impending doom I been getting of late. The nightmares don't help either you know?

Your still getting visions as you dream of what is going on Tank?

Bitsy looks up at him as they walk on.

Yeah, and it always ends the same way. Just as I'm about to see who it is that could behind this all and I wake up.

Do not worry about things that have yet to even happen Tank my boy. In time when the Ancient's wish it, they will show you.

Kiroshi tells him as they walk along under a pathway of trees, his cane silent on the old beaten down pathway of grass.

Are you doing well grandfather?

Yes, yes, I'm fine my dear. I may be old, but I can still make the trek up these pathways to the council room. Tell me, my dear, how are your mother and little brother? I have yet to get time to stop by since I was put in charge of these two.

They well. Kota thriving and is always exploring whenever he can when he thinks mother isn't watching.

Kiroshi chuckles out smiling.

That boy is such a hand full. He will make a great warrior one day when his time comes. That's if he still wishes to be one come time. Thankfully he has many years yet before that day comes.

Quite now, we're here.

Nodding they walk up a set of stairs, this time Kirosh's cane making a...tap tap tap… sound as they head up. As they near the top, they come across two huge doors that stood open to them. The council room was huge, almost as big as the Castle of Acorns. It could fit the whole of the Island in it. The floors, walls, and pillars were made from finely crafted marble and gold. The windows were carved into the walls and for some strange reason, were closed at this time of day. As they walk in, even the torches on the pillars were extinguished as well.

Hey..ah Whisper...what's going on?

Bitsy asks.

Shh….

That was all she said.

Tank was on high alert, as was Bitsy some. Ready for anything. Whisper steps back into the shadows followed by her grandfather. They were both so quiet that both Bitsy and Tank didn't know they left them in the center of the room.

Hey, Whisper where is everyone, and why is it so dark?

Tank asks as he looks around and growls out.

Where did they go Tank?

I don't know, but get ready for anything Bitsy, somethings up and I don't like it.

She nods out and takes hold of her whip getting it ready as Tank powers up his Gloves. They stand back to back taking on a fighting stance as their ears flick this way and that trying to pick up any sound at all. All they got was dead silents, that was till something caught Tanks attention and he growls out and he whispers to Bitsy.

Bit, three o'clock, I saw something.

Forget that I saw something at your ten. You don't think that the….

Before she could finish her words someone yells out and both Bitsy and Tank jump out of the way as they feel the air of a slash of a blade just barely miss them. Tank was the first to react as he sends an electrifying punch to where he thought the person who attacked him was only to miss. At the same time, Bitsy sends a roundhouse kick at another person only to miss. She lands back on her feet and at once she and Birch were once again back to back as their eyes move about looking for their next attack.

If I didn't know any better I would think…

That this could be our final test and not a Mission as you had hoped?

Yeah.

Alright then? How about we show these assholes what we been doing for the past almost two years then and let's make this fun?

Fun huh?

Tank glances over his shoulder cocking an eyebrow at her.

What did you have in mind?

Whoever takes down the most wins and the loser has to pay for dinner AND dessert.

Your craving one of them Coastal Berry Cakes aren't you?

You know it, baby. So what do you say?

Fine, but I hope you have your wallet ready cause you know I can eat.

Then shall we?

We shell yes.

With that, and going in LITERALLY blind, they start attacking and engaging in combat with whoever they come across, making sure to keep count. Fifteen minutes in and, not only did their eyes adjust to the darkness of the room, but neither one had broken a sweat, and Bitsy was at twenty opponents in why Tank was at fifteen.

Hey, you best hurry Tank I'm five ahead of you.

Grunting out, Tank ends up throwing six people off him with an electrifying jolt and sending them flying.

Think again Bitsy baby, I'm now at twenty-one.

Oh, cute, but not for long love.

Bitsy ignites her whip and with a loud sizzling CRACK she ends up wrapping the of her opponents up as they scream out from the thorns and flames. She takes ahold of her whips by the base and pulls it taut and hard as she swings it around and around and sends them flying right into four more people who Tank was taking on.

I'm at twenty-seven now so get ready for dinner cause I know where I wanna go.

Growling out annoyed, Tank rams into five more people putting him just one under her twenty-seven.

Somewhere in the room, seven people were high up watching the two of them go. With them were Kiroshi, and Whisper.

They're doing quite well I think.

Better than I would have thought. Though they were Trained by our best after all.

Well, thank you for your kind words, Master Gin.

The one named Gin was a huge black wolf with a white diamond mark on his forehead, and his bright blue eyes shined bright as he watches Tank take on six more of his men.

I'm very pleased with how far Tank has come with his Anger issues as well. I would have never thought he would have gotten over them.

Indeed Gin my son.

Kiroshi stats. Gin was Kiroshi's son and the father to Whisper.

Whisper my dear, are you and your team about ready?

Yes father we are.

And are the Deceivers ready?

Yes, Master Gin, they are. Just say the word and we will step in.

Good, very good, cause I do believe Tank is in the lead now with thirty-five members down why Bitsy is at thirty-two.

You're enjoying this, aren't you son?

Kiroshi looks to his son smiling.

Indeed I am father. But I think it's time to up the game now wouldn't you agree MASTER Shishirory?

The one named Shishirory growls out and opens an eye. He was like Tank, a grizzly bear, his massive tree trunk arms were folded as he stood there watching the two below. His eyes narrow and he growls out softly. Not in anger or annoyance, but in thought. His brown eyes watch as Tank takes down another five members and he gives a slight nod as he speaks in a deep gruff voice.

Tamaru.

Master Shishirory, I am here.

Number one seventy-six.

Sir?!

Do it, now.

A-as you wish.

Well, you all heard him. It's time we intensify their test to near-deadly proportions kiddies.

Remember, your not to kill, just try and knock them out. Oh, and why your all at it, why not test to see just HOW far Tank has come with his anger issues hmm?

Ooooh, does that mean I get to pull one of my favorite tricks on him Sensei?

That it does… Hikimaru.

The one named Hikimaru smiles a toothy smile and locks his lips. He was a hybrid of a crocodile and Kimono Dragon. His skin was in shades of dark, light, and yellow-green, and his eyes were a dark blue, almost black.

Just remember Hikimaru, your not to kill nore Bite. We're counting on these two you know.

Yeah yeah yeah, I know. I know. Get over yourself already Old man.

He rolls his eyes and huffs out.

I know we're counting on them I'm not stupid you know.

That may be, but remember what happened LAST time?

OH COME OFF IT! Your STILL not letting me live that one down are you, you stupid dammed wolf?

No, I'm not. Your lucky it was an accident that day or worst would have happened to you.

Sighing he rolls his eyes and folds his arm.

Sheesh. You go and bite a guy and end up poisoning them on accident and your the new bad guy on the block and marked as lethal and deadly and needed to have a muzzle on at all times because of it. I mean it wasn't my fault it was an accident. I only did it on instinct nothing more.

Whisper comes up to the Hybrid and places a hand on his arm and she looks up at him with her eyes open slightly as she smiles at him. He looks down at her and smiles back and gently pats her hand as they share a few silent words.

Yeah, I know Whisper. I know. But I wish dad would just drop it already and LAY OFF before I go biting him his furry ass.

He swings his head around growling out. Gin shakes his head and rolls his head and sighs.

I'm sorry Hikimaru. I know it was an accident. But the elder…

Sighing out once more, he lets his arms drop and nods.

Yeah, I know. I'm sorry I snapped at you, father.

Hey, it's alright son, no worries. I know it's a touchy subject and all. But hey, if you still have some of that anger in you, you can use it to beat Tank up one last time.

Oh, I have something better this time I have been working on.

Hikimaru laughs as he cracks his knuckles.

So what do you say, sis? Shall we?

Whisper moves her mask down and takes out one of her Wisp containers and takes off her Wispon and loads it up. At once it shines a bright blue in the darkness and forms into a hammer.

Father?

DO IT NOW! OPEN THE WINDOWS AND LIGHT THEY TORCHES! HIKIMARU YOU TAKE THE LEAD, THE REST OF YOU FOLLOW AND REMEMBER WHAT YOUR TO DO! TAKEDOWN OR KNOCK OUT! REMEMBER YOUR TRAINING AND GO ALL OUT!

Gin thrust out his arm and points to the middle of the room as the shutters bang open and mid-morning sunlight fills the room and the torches were lit right away, both Bitsy and Tank shield their eyes from the brightness of the light as they try and gain their ground once more. At once, Hikimaru runs over to the banister of the upper floors and grabs ahold of it, and jumps over it. The rest follow suit and scream out as they head right for Bitsy and Tank catching them off guard and attacking at once why they were still slightly blinded from the light.

Five hours later…

Who...Who would have thought...it would...come down to this?

Right?

Bitsy and Tank were out of breath and panting hard. For the last five hours, they were put through their paces and then some. They both stood back to back, both in some bad shape. Gulping Bitsy looks at Tank over her shoulder as he does the same.

Well, what do you think?

I...I don't know. I mean….I knew Whisper was good...same with Hikimaru...but them together….oh CHAOS….their a force to be reckoned with….kind of fun really.

Tank chuckles out and nods in agreement. He had hoped to go against Hikimaru again soon and now he had his chance. All four stair one another down. Even Hikimaru and Whisper were looking tired and looked ready to fall.

What do you say?

I say if I can take them down on my own I win.

Tank scoffs and rolls his eyes, but smiles at her.

Hey, last I count I was ahead of you by three.

Yeah, that may be so but…..

With a loud cry, she swings her leg around and sends a couple of people who were hidden by their camouflage flying. They hit a wall and slide down it coming out of his camouflage with a groan.

Now I'm only two away from beating you.

Growling out he looks to both Hikimaru and Whisper.

You two are going down. There is no way that I'm gonna lose to Bitsy again this time.

Yeah, I wanna see you try Tank, my friend.

Yes, let's see if you can.

Yelling out, Tank calls on a move…

GAIA'S WRATH!

He jumps into the air and pulls back his arm and he sends it down towards the ground where it makes contact with it and the whole room shakes as mini volcano's erupted and head right for both Whisper and Hikimaru. They see it coming and jump out of the way. Up on the top floors, Gin groans out and facepalms.

I believe you owe me fifty bucks Gin.

Shishirory glances down at him.

He. Was. So. CLOSE….

Slumping down, and grabbing the banister, and banging his head on it he sighs out as he hears his father laughing out.

Bet you wish you didn't make that bet now huh son?

Oh shut it, dad.

Come on Gin, pay up.

Alright, Alright.

Sighing out, he gets up and takes out the money, and gives it to him annoyed.

TANK YOU DAMMED FLEA BRAIN BABOON YOU OWE ME FIFTY BUCKS!

Gin yells out over the banister at him causing Tank and Bitsy to look over their shoulders wondering what he meant. This gave Whisper and Hikimaru the chance they needed and they attack them both why they were distracted. After another two hours, it was now down to Tank and Hikimaru.

CHAOS, those two have some stamina, don't they?

Yes, they do. My brother is very stubborn at times.

How is it he is part of your family again Whisper?

He was an orphan who washed up on the shores. He didn't remember where he came from or where his family was. He was only four years old. I found him when I was just six years old. He was scared and all alone. So I took him home and told my mother and father. They sent out a search party to look for his family. My dad and mom and me were part of that party. We found his parents but they did not make it. From what we and everyone guess, they were out at sea when a storm hit and he was the only surviving member from the ship. We don't know how it was possible but we guessed it was the will of the Ancient's to let him live. So my mom and dad took him in as my new baby brother. I took care of him, looked after him, and helped train him when he turned eight. We share a bond like no other and are the best of friends. He is only one of few, besides my mother, father, baby brother, and grandfather, I allow to invade my personal space. Even then they respect my wishes since I like to live a solitary life.

Wow, he went through all of that at such a young age?

Yes. But every time the Masters and Elders threw something at him he would show his worth more than enough times to make them happy. He trained till he became the best of the best, and before long he was right next to me doing Missions and more. I would trust him with my very life. He means a lot to me since at the time I was an only kid.

What about Issun?

A little annoying brat who has no show or respect for my personal space yet.

Bitsy laughs out at that. She knew Issun was a hyper little kid at the age of four, but she knew she loved her baby brother a lot either way.

So what now? I mean, one of those two has GOT to go down sooner or later.

Yes indeed.

It was then that both boys were locked hand to hand, now trying to force the other one to his knees in submission, but neither one was looking like they were giving in. At least at first…

YOU'RE. GOING. DOWN. HIKIMARU!

With a grunt, Tank takes Hikimaru by surprise and manages to grab a hold of his midsection in a blinding flash of movement and before anyone knew it, Hikimaru was slammed into the floor with such force it left a crater in it. Tank not letting up flips over and sends an elbow into his chest causing him to gasp out as the air was knocked out of him. For a moment everyone watches on in surprise, to see if this was it or not. After two minutes of no one breathing, Tank slowly stands up panting out.

Now...stay the….fuck...down...you chaos dammed….luggage...rack…

Gladly...you...fucking….bear….skin...rug…

Everything and one was quiet for a long time till Tank grunts out and falls to the floor and on his hands and knees. He sits on his knees trying to catch his breath as Bitsy runs yelling at him and jumps on him hugging and kissing him. He grunts out and winces in pain and chuckles as he wraps an arm around her.

WE DID IT! WE DID IT! WE PASSED THE TEST! YOU WERE AMAZING TANK!

He chuckles out and smiles.

Just...so you...know...I won...the bet...he was my ninety-nine takedown.

Bitsy looks at him annoyed and scoffs.

Sorry, but I managed to take down one more before that so I'm in the lead still. So I win.

There is no way you got one more before I took HIM down.

Tank thrust out his chin to Hikimaru.

She did, I saw her take down another of the deceivers. But from what I could see you're both tied.

WHAT!? NO THAT CAN'T BE RIGHT!? I MEAN THERE HAS TO BE AT LEAST ONE MORE! I KNOW IT! THAT CAN'T BE EVERYONE OF THE ORDER'S MERCENARIES!?

It's true. You know I wouldn't like Bitsy.

Bitsy whines out annoyed that she and Tank ended things in a tie. He laughs out as he pulls her into his lap and hugs her.

Hey, don't worry, I'll still take you for one last Slice of Coastal Cake.

But it won't be the same.

He chuckles as he gently pushes Bitsy off him and tries to stand, but nearly falls back down. Both Bitsy and Whisper catch him and he chuckles out.

Thanks, Ladies.

ARE YOU SO SURE THAT THE TEST IS OVER YOU TWO?

Bitsy, Tank, and Whisper look up to the upper floor and see Gin standing there with the other council members.

It's got to….

Before Bitsy could finish her sentence, Tank Pushes both girls out of the way as someone comes up from behind them and he spins around and sends a powerful backhand at the one attacking them and sends them flying right out the opened doors of the Council room where the guy ends up hitting a tree and gasps out as the air was knocked out of him and he falls to the ground with a thud.

I stand corrected. Tank wins.

WHAT!? GOD CHAOS DAMMIT!

Bitsy stomps her foot annoyed, and Whisper giggles.

NOW the test is over with. Nicely done Tank. You all did well. Wouldn't you say Shishirory?

Yes. We put you both through hell and more today, and you both were needless to say outstanding.

We, the council of seven are happy to announce that Bitsy Von Roke, and Alexie Sacha Vandercroft… Tank… Are nowhere by the newest members of The Organization Of The Ancient Order Of The Crimson Fang, and as of right now you both will be sent on a new Mission first thing tomorrow morning. So pack up and make sure you're both ready, for you will be leaving with me tomorrow to go home.

A snow-white Grolar bear steps from the Shadows and smiles down at them both. Bitsy's eyes light up and she smiles brightly. Tank smiles as well nodding to him. The white Grolar bear was in a crisp black Business suite and he held authority as he rests his hands on his cane.

GRANDDADDY!

Hello, Bitsy my dear. It's been far too long since I last saw you.

Grandfather.

Tank my boy. I am very proud of you both. You both have come so far in such a short amount of time. It is surprising really. Take a look around you and remember what you did here today. It takes many years to accomplish something like this, and you both managed to do everything within less than two years. It is remarkable it is, and I couldn't be prouder than I am right now. But sadly the celebration will have to wait. There is darkness afoot and we got word that the time has finally come for your to join up with him.

You mean the Black Knight the prophecy foretold of?

Yes. Now rest why you can, for come tomorrow we start our week-long ship ride home. You can rest on it and recover from your test then. Make sure your ready by first light tomorrow. For now, if you both can still move about, go take a few hours to do as your wish, but make sure you're packed and ready to go before bed tonight.

Yes, Grandfather.

Both Tank and Bitsy say in union.

Good, now off with you both.

They smile up at him and they slowly head out.

Hey Bitsy?

Yeah, Tank?

I win.

What?… TANK YOU ASSHOLE!

Tank laughs out and runs off despite being tired and sore. He steps on Hikimaru making him grunt out as Bitsy runs after him laughing. Whisper stops by her brother and bends down and holds out a hand to him. He takes her hand and she helps him up as she brings his arm around his shoulder.

You alright Hikimaru?

UGH….Yeah, I am. Sore but I'll live. Though there is one problem though.

What is that?

I'm gonna miss that Chaos fucking dammed bear a lot, and you know this is saying something coming from me.

Indeed. This is the first time I truly seen you both get along since they came here, and now your both the best of friends and rivals, if truth be told, I'm going to miss Bitsy. She was a lot of fun.

Well, maybe we could arrange something then?

They look up and sees Henderson and their father and Shishirory before them all with a smile on their face.

AN: Well that was a long time coming wasn't it? I bet you all thought I forgot about Bitsy and Tank huh? Well, you would have all thought wrong. I know this was a long time coming and now that I was where I wanted to be with my other stories I decided to finally add another part to my DES story. There were a lot of different things going on at the time and why I needed to work on other stories. One being I ended up with some super nasty reviews and it broke me when I had gone and put months into everything, that was the BIGGEST reason, the other was I was running out of ideas and more, so I couldn't truly focus on it. So I started my other stories to help me out.

I know I tend to do a little Fun fact thing right about now, but I think I did well at telling things I don't feel there is nothing more to give out, well maybe one thing...

I Used italic to show Whisper is talking, like how she would in the comics. so I hope that got across well enough.

But for now, watch out for the next part I'll try and do it soon.

Till then this is CJ sending you all Peace, Love, and Hugs.
