2007. The world is much as it is today. Save with one, major differance. The planet is populated with anthropomorphic Dinosaurs. They live like we do, though some can only eat meat, and some can only eat plants. There is also crime. Massive underground crime sydicates run rampant in large cities. This has spawned numerous vigilantes and assasins. A new crime syndicate has appeared on the horizon. Called The Eyes, they are believed to be a cult dedicated to an ancient deity known to them as "The Watcher". They practice sacrifice, kiddnapping vigilantes, assasins, cops, and civilians alike. A number of vigilantes have banded together to stop this, and many assasins have been hired by the Cult. But threw it all, something is very wrong. Graffiti of the Watcher, made by cultists, seems to be moving when looked out at from the corner of the eye.
Could the Watcher be real?

IC: Jerek:
It was cold. Not that that was unusual, standing on the top of a very tall building in mid fall is understadibly cold. But it was really the only place we could have any peace at the moment. "So, any new news on the Eyes?" I said to my sister, Jaina Anderson. "A Trike kid went missing, but that's it so far." I shook my head and tapped my toe claws. "Damn, they're good at covering their tracks." Jaina looked out over the side of the building, and waved me over. "Jerek, come look at this." I ran over, and saw what she was pointing at. A young Dryosaurus couple was exiting the theater, and an Allosaurus was waiting for them. He lept out at them, brandishing a knife, and yelling something indistinct. I looked at Jaina, and she nodded. I swung over the side of the building, and grabbed onto a window ledge. I dropped to the one below it, then to the one below that. I'd done this enough times to do it quickly, and arrived at the bottom. Both of us did. I pulled a pistol out of the pocket of my jacket and said "Drop the knife, step away from the Dryos, and I might not shoot you."
-
Suddenly, the Allosaurus collapsed, and the two Raptors saw Dante standing there, his staff in his hand...
-
I looked down at the unconsious, possibly dead Allosaurus. "Well, that works." I said, and Jaina nodded. The Dryos ran off, panicing. "So, is he dead, or alive enough to leave for the police?" Jaina asked. I added "I'm hoping alive, but dead works too."

_____
She was Jogging home from her kung fu class. She lived close enough that she thought it healthier to jog home instead of taking a car or motorcycle. She jogged along at an even pace, it was not tiring, to jog the short distance. Her true jogging she had done earlier in the day. She was glad she was of the type that could see well at night and didn't really need a flashlight like some did.
-
Dante smirked, as he stepped lightly over the body.
"He's still plenty alive. Only unconcious. Might I inquire who you are?"
-
I considered for a moment, and decided on "I'd like to be called Mr. A." Jaina nodded. "I'd prefer Miss A, if you don't mind." I raised an eye ridge "And, who, might I add, are you?"
-
Marsa was looking around, she saw a group of folks talking, she didn't look very close as she continued going by. They were on a side street and she didn't look very close anyway since they were standing there and not coming at her or anything that would make her look at them closer.
-
Jaina:
There was a chik-chik noise, that of a shotgun. Jerek pulled out bothe pistols. I pulled out mine, as well. "Who's there?" I asked.
-
Hunter stepped out of the shadows with her shotgun held at chest level...then she smiled sheepishly and said "Sorry for the intrusion...I just need to know the fastest way back to the nearby High school." She then lowered her shotgun, and asked "If I may ask, what are your names?"
OOC: I hope this is an okay post..
-
Marsa saw the new figure out of the corner of her eye when she was around half the way across the side street. She continued and stopped in a nearby dark area to see what they were up to. Some of them were carrying odd weapons to be folks who just met. She would wait a moment and see what they were up to.
((OOC: Seems an ok post to me. ))
-
"I'm... Miss A." I said. "And I'm Mr. A." Said Jerek. He clacked his claws nervously. I said "Uh, the cops might be on the way soon. They don't like vigilantes, so I think we should all go home." Jerek added "The High School? Over the rooftops. If you're not the best climber, try the alleyway over there, then take a right turn." I was a little more suspicous. "Why do you have that shotgun if your just going to a High School?" Jerek rolled his eyes and clacked his claws. "Sis, why do you think she has a shotgun. Why do we have pistols? She's obviously a vigilante, unless she's not, an if that's the case, she better start running."
-
Hunter groaned as she said to herself 'Nuts!' But she none-the-less said "Thanks." And started climbing the wall and reached the rooftops as she said "And by the way Mr. and Mrs. A....I'm not a vigilante..." she coked the shotgun and said "I'm just a teacher who looks after herself!"
-
Jerek:
"Mrs. A? Ew. He's my brother, lady!" Jaina said. I added "Well, as long as you don't plan on killing anyone with that thing, well, without provocation, we're okay with ya!" The teacher was quickly ascending the building, and was nearly out of sight.
-
As she finally climbed up onto the rooftop above the alley Hunter tuned around and have a nervous grin at her mistake and shouted down "Sorry!" And with that she turned around once more and sprinted in the direction of the High school.
-
Dante looked after Hunter as she left, then turned to face Mr. A.
"My name's Dante. I'm a bounty hunter, so you can call me Sword Dancer."
-
"Bounty Hunter, eh?" I said. "Well, you're not paid to kill us, are you?"
-
"No. I currently have no missions, so I'm hunting these... cultists. They have been... elusive, though..."
Dante replied, nimbly twirling his staff out of boredom...
-
OOC: Starfall, please, can you try to stretch your posts out a bit longer?
-
Hunter had finally made it to the High school, only to realize that the school itself had been vandalized! Hunter squeezed the shotgun so hard she accidently bent the barrel. "Oops." she said with a grin looking at her mistake. 'Oh well, at least I still have my Tai-chi to fall back on.' she said mentally. She then proceeded inside to see if any one had been hurt.
-
Marsa continued to watch, guessing the group was vigilantes since they seemed to come across each other and didn't start fighting. They seemed like ordinary people. Not that she expected anyone like those in the comics who could fly, shoot lasers from their eyes, or use their hair like fingers. She thought she should go, no telling how they would feel about a normal person who wasn't a vigilante seeing them. She heard some of them were rather nasty types.
-
Upon stepping into the main school building Hunter wished she hadn't. The floors were covered with puddles of water...(From where she really didn't want to know) The walls were stained with graffiti, and what looked like blood! "Oh no!" She then began to run through the hallway hoping to see someone she recognized.
-
(OOC: Enter Sieg. My other RP chara)
As Hunter ran into one of the rooms of the High School, she saw a... was that a man? Or a saurian? The hood made it impossible to tell, but the corpses around him were very apparent. The blade he was holding in his right hand was crackling with energy, and the tip still dripped blood.
"Who are you? Another Cultist, come to bring me back?"
Sieg asked as he wheeled around, pointing his blade at Hunter...
"Or a vigilante?"
-
After several seconds Hunter finally found her voice and said "Uhhhhh.....no...I'm just a school teacher trying to figure out what in the world happened here." Then a smirk crossed her face as she asked "But now the question is who....or what are you?"
-
OOC: I'm going to be using a special type IC to describe things my characters are not near. Called
OIC(Omniscientiant In Character):
The Graffiti, at least what was not covered in blood, was of a hideous thing. It was mostly cloaked, except for its face, which was one, large eye with a slit pupil.
IC: Jaina:
"Well, that's good, at least." Then, inches from my snout, a bullet passed. It lodged itself in the alley wall behind us. "What the hell?!" I exclaimed. Jerek swung both his pistols up to aim at a figure on top of a nearby building. "****!" He yelled. I swung my own pistol up to aim at the figure, who quickly ducked.
OOC: There are no humans here, just to get it straight, and magic still has to be introduced(possibly on.. say, the tenth page?)
-
Hunter then smirked as she thought 'Sword or no sward, if this person attacks me...I've got my Tai-chi...he or she won't know what hit'em!'
-
Marsa moved closer to the building, she was about to go the rest of the way home, but when the shot went off she got closer to the building on the side street not far away, maybe a block, if that. She decided to remain for a short time to be sure what was going on.
-
"It must be an Assasin hired by those damn Eyes!" I said, keeping my own eyes trained on the rooftops. Jerek, one the other hand, kept his guns trained on the roof. "This is why I hate snipers." He said.
-
Dante had rolled away from where the shot was aimed, and had drawn his pistols, scanning the rooftops near where the shot had come from for the assassin.
"Any sight of him?"
He asked Jaina and Jerek...
____________________________________________________________________
Sieg looked at Hunter, warily lowering his sword.
"My name's Sieg. Sieg Warheit, and I came here because the cultists were planning to take more prisoners. I know, because I used to be one of them. But anyways, the area is safe. At least for now."
He said, as he looked at the corpses around him...
-
Hunter didn't look at all convinced as she replied "Area is safe?! Are you crazy!!! This school building is in shambles!!! Covered with graffiti and blood, and even if you are a former cultist why did they track you into a school?" she then looked at the floor and asked "Can you at least help me get these bodies out of this classroom?" As she hefted one of the bodies off the ground.
-
"I... see your point. All I meant was that there weren't any cultists around. I apologize. Besides, I was pursuing them, not the other way around. And yea, I'll help. Where do you want them?"
Sieg said, hefting a pair of the bodies with one arm...
-
Hunter looked around for a moment and looked over to a broom/storage closet near the back wall. "How about that closet?" asked Hunter waiting for a response.
-
"That would be alright, I suppose. "
Sieg said, moving to put the two in the closet, and then he turned around.
Looking right at Hunter he calmly asked
"So, might I be so rude as to ask you your name? You don't have to tell me, if you don't want to..."
-
Hunter mentally kicked herself as she realized her was right..."My name is Hunter, a pleasure to meet you...Sieg was it?" she said with a kind open voice.
-
Jerek:
"Nope. Not a very good Assasin. At least the other ones had the guts to hang around a little while after they shot at us." I scanned the rooftops, as did Jaina. "Well, he must've fled pretty damn fast, because I can't see him." She said.
-
(And enters Killer!)
IC: He couldn't believe his luck...the one shot he was supposed to take and he missed!! 'Darn...that was reckless...I should've aimed more precise than that! Next time won't miss this I swear!' "Now I need a place to lay low for a while..." Then he spotted the high school...
'Perfect!' he thought with an evil gleam in his eyes.
-
Dante caught a flash of movement out of the corner of his eye as Killer sped off...
"Jerek, Jaina! The assassin is headed this way! Come on!"
And he sped off to pursue the unknown figure...
____________________________________________________________________
"That's right. I'm Sieg and... !!!!"
Sieg tensed momentarily as he thought he heard something...
"Miss Hunter, We need to be careful. Something's coming this way... and I don't think it's an ally..."
-
We ran off to the highschool, taking the quicker roof path to get there as fast as possible. The Assasin's shape was slowly coming into a more defined view, but he was almost to the college. "Dammit, we need to get some more speed on!" Said Jaina. "Well, if you've got any ideas, now's the time to tell us!" I said.
-
Killer had made it into the high school and was heading towards the cafeteria. With his sniper still clinging to his back he laughed to himself as he said "I can't believe I got away from those fools! Now to just hide in here until everything is clear."
_______________________
Hunter had only been called Miss by her students and saw the gesture as a form of respect. As she turned around she responded by saying "How can you tell?" then her powerful nose picked up a scent...and she commented "You may be right..." She then clenches her fist and tenses her body as well preparing for an attack...only to see a shadow run past the door rather quickly at that.
'I'll bet that's him!' thought Hunter as she ran towards the door willing to chase down whoever it was!
-
Dante tensed up momentarily, as he sensed another strong presence nearby...
"You guys! There's something...or someone strong nearby! We'd better be careful..."
As they continued towards the school...
____________________________________________________________________
Sieg grabbed his sword and ran after Hunter, pursuing the mysterious figure that had run past...
-
Killer was passing the doorway to an English class when the door burst open and sent him into the parallel wall knocking the gun off of his back. He looked up and saw the one person he didn't expect to see again..."HUNTER!"
And she was also just as surprised "KILLER!" Then the Pteranodon smiled and said with a quip "So you survived that bullet wound to your.." Hunter however abruptly cut him off "SHUT UP! Now you're going to get what you deserve!" Hunter then flexed her claws and got ready for a fight!
-
Jaina:
I swung in an open window, and so did Jerek. "He has to be around here somewhere..." I said, looking around. I saw a figure disappear around a corner, and went off to chase it. "Jaina! Wait! You might get yourself hurt!" I heard Jerek call after me.
-
Sieg heard someone running after him, and turned, pointing his blade at Jaina, eyes narrowed as he said...
"Drop your weapons, and identify yourself! I won't hesitate to kill you!"
The blade glinted in the light as he continued...
"Are you another cultist like the one we're chasing? Or a vigilante?"
-
Here's mine.
Name: Gene Vond(callsign Bloodhound)
Gender: Male
Age: 38
Species: Raptor
Occupation: USAF F-35 pilot/Flight instructer Rank Major.
Apperance: Tall,scar across left side of the face from a fierce AntiAircraftArtillery burst near his the cockpit of his plane,brown eyes,wears a jet black flight suit while not piloting his plane he wears a brown leather flight jacket,black pants and a baseball cap with his plane on it.
Personality: Adventerous,can be cold at heart sometimes but is usually kind,stubborn,some what crazy,fiercly loyal.
-
"Cultist? No way." I kept a grip on my weapons. "I'm... Miss A. I'd prefer no to give my real name. I'm a vigilante." I lifted my hand up to my neck, and pushed the blade down. "Don't you know? It's not nice to stick sharp objects aganst a girl's neck." Jerek caught up. "Jaina, are you alright?" He said. "Yeah, I'm fine." I replied.
-
Marsa saw the oddly dressed folks run off, she shrugged and thought it best to continue home. She jogged the rest of the way home and went inside.
-
Hunter and Killer jumped at each other and started throwing punches and kicks, but with each move came a counter, and then a counter attack, only to blocked again....it seemed the two fighters were evenly matched. That is until Killer picked up his semi-loaded sniper rifle, and aimed it at Hunter only to be staring down the barrel of a Colt .45 Magnum.
'Crap.' thought the two. It was a western showdown at point blank range and while neither one of them wanted to die, they certainly wanted to kill the other. So with seat dripping down their heads, they stood frozen in place waiting for something to tip the scales in one of their favors.
-
"My name's Sieg. Sorry about pointing the sword at you, but I can't be too careful. The cult doesn't let people escape often, and so..."
Sieg heard the sound of combat from where he had been headed, and he turned to Jerek and Jaina and said
"Been a blast meeting you, but I have to go help someone!"
A couple of seconds later, he ran to find the pair of Hunter and Killer at the standoff, and he decided to do something. That something came in the form of his blade slicing the barrel of Killer's rifle off, then being leveled at his throat...
"Give up. There are more people on the way, so struggling will just get you killed..."
-
All Killer saw was a flash of light and a second later his sniper was half of what it used to be. Then he could feel cold steel against his neck and he realized with a start that he had lost the fight....so he did the smart thing by dropping the useless sniper and raised his hands into the air.
Hunter was surprised to say the least and to show her gratitude she said "Thanks alot Sieg!" Then pulled a roundhouse kick on Killer knocking him to the floor and into unconsciousness. "This will end it!" Hunter said with a grin as he pointed her magnum at the sleeping Pteranodon praying nothing would be able to stop her from pulling the trigger.
-
"Hold it, Miss Hunter. If you kill him, we won't be able to get any information from him. Tempting though it is, we should question him before we kill him..."
Sieg said, looking at the body, then his blade repeatedly...
-
Hunter's trigger finger shook with anticipation at the chance for revenge but Seig was right...they needed information, but she wanted this guy dead! She began to sweat and finally she put the magnum down and sighed. "I guess you are right Seig...we need information....but the moment he even breathes the wrong way I will end his life!"
-
Jerek:
Jaina and I catch up to the others. "Wow, he fell pretty easily." I said, looking at the downed Pterodactyl. "So, who is he?" Jaina asked.
-
Hunter sighed and simply said "His name is Killer and he is utterly insane! He has to be killed as soon as possible!" Hunter then aimed her magnum at his head once more and tried to pull the trigger.
-
"Whoa there, as much as I want to kill him too, it would be better if if we left him alive a bit longer, just to get some information on the Cultists." I said. Jaina looked at him, grumbled a bit, and nodded, slowly and grudgingly. "But after that, we have to kill him." She said.
-
Just as Killer was regaining conciousness, one of the windows into the room shattered as a balck-clad figure charged through it. In one fluid movement, he cut the barrel off of Hunter's pistol, and almost instantly after that, the other's guns were disabled too. He stopped near the fallen Killer, and grabbed him before looking up a Sieg and saying...
"Sieg. Why? Why did you kill Siela?"
A dark smile then crossed his face as he looked at Hunter and said...
"Not that it matters. I'm going to make you suffer the same pain as I have... If you want to stop me..."
His last words as he ran off were
"Come and Get me!"
-
Jaina:
"Good thing I wasn't holding my gun out." I swung my pistol up to aim at the figure, as did Jerek with his pitols, but the figure vanished all to quickly. "Damn!" I said. "Who the hell was that?" Said Jerek.
-
Sieg sighed, looked at the ceiling, and ran his claws through his hair before answering....
"His name is Victor Delacroix. He used to be my superior in the cult... he's now got a desire for revenge by destroying the world. He's strong, make no mistake..."
And he sighed...
-
Hunter was a bit confused and really pissed that her magnum had been destroyed as she said to Sieg "What did he mean by make me suffer?! What did I ever do to him?" And then she sighed as she realized "I'm going to have to after them eventually....I still have to kill that psycho pteranodon!"
-
I sighed. "I think he thinks you two," I pointed at Seig and Hunter. "Are boyfriend and girlfriend, or something. Not exactly the wisest decision on his part, is it?" I finished. Jerek simply raised the scaly ridges above his eyes. After a few moments, I add "Well, it looks like we're all caught up in this dammed cult buisiness."
-
Sieg blushed as he realized that that was what Delacroix had probably meant, and he managed to stammer...
"Y-Yeah... That's probably what he thought..."
and then looked at Hunter, blushed more, and looked at the ground.
"We should probably stick together." Dante said, looking at the group.
"That way, the cult will have a harder time attacking us."
-
Hunter let a small blush creep onto her face, and she looked down at the ground and said "Y-yeah we should stick together...." She then looked at Sieg and blushed harder and said "...Well come on...le's get after them...we still have a job to do!"
-
Jaina:
I craned my neck. "Heads up, looks like you buddy Victor wasn't the only bad guy around here." I said, spinning. Jerek swung both his pistols up. I swung my pistol up. However, it wasn't a bad guy. "Oh, look who it is, Jaina." Said Jerek with a grin. I stood, stared, and blushed. "Uh... Dan.. uh huh... this really isn't the time." The Protoceratops raised an eye ridge. "Why not, baby?" He said. I sighed. "Hello, do you see who I'm with?" I said. Dan looked around. "Oh... not the time... I was hoping.." He started. "Shut it, Dan." I said. Dan looked around, started to leave, and said "Uh, you look really hot to-" I intterupted him. "Dan!" "Right, I'm leaving." I tapped my toe claw until he left, gritting my sharp teeth. As soon as he was gone, I parted my jaws and sighed once more. "Jaina, why exactly do you go out with him?" Asked Jerek, still grinning. I shot him a look. "You shut up too!"
-
"And I thought that this cult thing was bad. I'd say that he was even more irritating, eh, Miss Hunter?" Sieg said, a small grin on his face...
"Agreed. Where should we set up our base?" Dante said to the group, as it seemed...
-
"I don't even know how he finds me!" I said, rolling my eyes. "I repeat, why do you go out with him?" I spun. "Shut the hell up!" I balled my claws into a fists and flung one towards Jerek's face. He only just blocked. "Jeez, sis, little bit of overeacting, eh?" He stepped out of the line of fire and released my fist. I began to breath heavily. "Sorry... all this fighting.. my nerves are a little freyed." I leaned back against a wall. "I haven't exactly be sleeping well." Jerek grinned again. "I can imagine. Sharing the be-" "Jerek, what did I tell you?" Jerek sighed, and said "To shut up..." I smiled, and turned back to the others. "Base. Sorry, we don't do bases. Having one fixed meeting spot? Sure. Base? No-go."
-
Hunter smiled and said "Now that is a shame...I happen to know this place that severs some of the best around!" She continued to smile as she thought about how she was going replace her magnum and get her revenge as she waited for an answer from the others.
-
Jerek gave a blank stare. My own was equaly blank. "Uh... serves what?" I said. Jerek shrugged. "Maybe she means a blace for a base... uh... that's what you mean, right?"
-
Hunter grinned and replyed "Food? What else would I mean." She then answered Jaina's question "Yeah something like that!"
-
"Okay..." I said. I had gotten so wrapped up in my own predicament anything else sound odd and off-topic. "So, where is this place?" Asked Jerek. I looked thoughtful. "Might make a good meeting point."
-
Hunter smiled again and said "It's only a few blocks from here, and easy to spot. Come on let's get going!" she then headed towards the front doors to the school knowing the others would keep up.
-
I shrugged, aand me and Jerek ran off after Hunter.
-
"Right. Let's go! Lead the way, Miss Hunter!" Sieg said brightly, running up to join her. Dante hung back for a moment, and seemingly to himself, intoned...
"Fascinating group... I think I'll stick around for a while..."
-
After walking for several quiet and uneventful minutes Hunter could see the diner up ahead and smiled as she thought of ordering her favorite chessecake surprise...she could taste it on her lips already, obvious as she began to drool. However she quickly caught herself and wiped it off and said "Well there it is. Let's hope nobody was smart enough to follow us."
Hunter then thought to herself 'I probably just jinxed all of us. If I did, this day will offically meet the number ten on the suckage meter.'
-
I smiled when I looked around the resturant. "Looks like a nice place. I'll be right back." I headed off to the Ladies Room, and went into one of the stalls. I removed my clothing, then stood on the toilet and detached part of the cieling. I pulled down a strapless red dress, grinned, and slipped it on. I put my other clothing in the cieling compartment, placed the section of the cieling back on, then walked out of the bathroom. I looked around, and noticed several differant saurians with various differant guns. "Aw, crap." I swung a pistol up. Jerek pulled both pistols out. And, in an instant, everything went to hell.
-
When Hunter heard the hammers clicking back on multiple guns...she just groaned and said "Yep...top ten on the suckage meter." She then saw something that caught her eye...one of the saurians had ordered a Cheesecake surprise and he had a magnum to boot! 'This day just became sweet!' thought Hunter as she drop kicked the poor saurian in the face while simutaniously grabbing his gun and his food.
She then accidently shot the gun off hitting a guy in the arm and causing a small amount of blood to spill into the air just as Jaina stepped out of the bathroom.
-
"Damn.. these blood stains will never come out... and I liked this dress." I said, looking down at the red dress. Then, a Thierzenosaurus lunged for me. I shot him in the chest, and he fell and grabbed the end of my dress, shredding three long slashes in it. "Aw, that's even worse." I pulled away, shredding the bottom of my dress further, and back-handed a saurian who had attacked from behind. I shot another from the front.
-
"Well, this is officially a drag." Sieg commented as he dodged another attack, quickly slashing the foe with his blade as a response.
"Don't you agree... Look out, Miss Hunter!"
He leapt over her, prepared to take down the raptor behind her, but was hit in the leg while doing so. He stumbled as he landed, but managed to take his foe down in another swift stroke. Dante was silent, his blade easily slaying any within reach...
-
I looked up, and noticed Jerak shoot two enemy Saurians at once. I grinend, and lept up, landing on a Triceratops' shoulders. I hooked my legs around his neck as he tried to pull me off, and stabbed him in the small of his back. He fell forward, and I lept off of him. I shot a Troodon in the head, and suddenly felt a hand around my tail. Whoever grabbed me pulled me back, while saying in a sort of bulky, british accent "My, you're a pretty little thing, hard to believe you're causing so much trouble. Maybe I won't kill you. I'm always looking for something to-" I shut up when I put a bullet in his head. He was a Carnotaurus, so as he fell, one of his small horns struck another Saurian, this one an Oviraptor.
-
As Hunter looked at what the misfiring bullet had caused for her friend Hunter screamed "NOOOOOOOO!" She then turned around and shot a Tyrannosaur inthe gut. And although Hunter had a fully loaded gun in her hand she prefered to beat the stuffing out of these fools and said "Thank you Sieg....that's two I owe you!" as she dogded another shot and punched a Velociraptor in the face, while at the same time eating the Cheesecake surprise she had stolen. But as she went to block another attack the gun in her hand went off and the bullet richoceted all over the diner finally coming to a stop in the head a suarian behind her. "Wow I'm good." Hunter said with a smirk.
-
I did not look good. My dress was slipping down, and I had to straighten it. A large piece of my dress was gone, and there was blood stained on my scales and on my dress, mostly from my enemies. Jerek was faring better, but still was stained with blood, food, and soda. I shot another saurian, and took a pause to reload.
-
Hunter hated to admit it but her favorite overcoat was now stained with a fair amount of blood, and she had to remove it, forcing her to reveal the all red Gi she had on underneith with a black belt around her waist showing she meant buisness.
-
I had to admit, I was jealous of Hunter for a second. At least she was wearing something under her overcoat. I wasn't wearing anything under this dress, so I couldn't do anything about being covered in blood without embaressing myself. I finished reloading and shot an Oviraptor in the head. Then I punched a Ornitholestes in the face.
-
Hunter moaned and shouted "We are not getting any where! I've eaten what I came to eat, can we leave now?!" she then punched a Triceratops in the chin, forcing him down to the ground and pistol whipping another Pterodactyl in the face knocking him unconscious as well.
-
I puched a Stegosaurus in the gut, but as he falls, he rips another hole in my dress. "Great, I'm basicly wearing the swiss cheese outfit." I said, a irritable tone to my voice. I shot another Stegosaurus, then bashed a Pterodactyl over the head with my pistol.
-
Hunter then did Jaina a favor as she tossed her bloody but intact over coat to her and said "This should keep you decent until we get to a better hide out." as she shot another saurian in the head.
-
I smiled, and swung the overcoat on, covering all the holes. Then, I proceeded to shoot a Troodon in the leg. "Thanks Hunter!I said. I kicked an Allosaurus in the stomach, using my toe claw to stab him. "When should we make our exit?!" Yelled Jerek, over the gunshots. "God knows, whenever there's a break in fighting!" I replied.
-
Hunter simply smiled as she jumped over and oncoming attack and then proceeded with little difficulty to kick a hole in the ceiling of the Diner, and called out "ALL ABOARD FOR GETTING OUTTA HERE! FOLLOW ME!" and with that she landed on the ground, punched out another Triceratops and jumped up and out of the freshly made hole in the ceiling.
-
I was the first to leap out of the cieling. Jerek stayed behind a little longer, shooting with both pistols untill he was out of ammo. Then, he followed us.
-
Dante leapt up into the hole, but Sieg was struggling with his leg wound.
"You guys go! I'll stay here and... hold them off for you!"
He said as he cut another pair down easily and looked up at the group...
"I'm glad I met you...Miss Hunter..." He thought as he prepared for his incoming death...
-
Without realizing she had thought it, or let alone done it Hunters body went into auto pilot as she backflipped through the hole, landed behind Sieg, roundhouse kicked several saruians, grabbed Sieg by his neck, and jumped back through the hole, and as she landed back on the roof of the diner, a grenade fell from her Gi and landed inside and she ducked as it went off sending a fountain of rock and fire out of the hole. She then looked down at Sieg and replied "We're a team, and I won't risk losing you." While her face was serious she was still blushing knowing her last sentence had a double meaning.
-
"Thanks. I... guess this makes us even, huh Miss Hunter?"
Sieg said, blushing...
-
Sieg's next comment only served to make Hunter blush even harder, as she stuttered out "Y-Yeah....I guess so...Sieg."
-
I looked out at them. "Yeah, real cute. Can we find somewhere with clean clothing?" I said, guestering to the blood-stained overcoat I was wearing, and then to the discarded, hole-riddled red dress lieing in a dumpster. "Because if the wind blows to hard, I'm screwed." I added. Jerek supressed laughter.
-
That comment snapped Hunter out of her daze as she replied "Yeah we can head back to my place....it's a little ways from here, but we can take a shortcut if you would like Jaina."
-
"I would like that very, very much." I said. Jerek started to snicker. "You've got no cloths on!" He said in a sing-song voice. "Yes I do!" I snapped. "I'm wearing this overcoat." Jerek rolled his eyes. "Like that matters." I sighed. "Please Hunter, just show us the short cut."
-
Hunter gave a nervous smile as she said "Okay, but it's through a sewer...." she snikered at a previous memory she thought about as she continued "But I do have a shower at my place, so I think the trade off is worth it. Come on follow me." She started walking and quickly found a manhole with which she pulled off like a glove and she slide in effortlessly.
-
Jerek ran ahead and went down, but I was a little more hesitant. "Uh.. well she does have a shower..." I said. I ran to the sewer and climbed down the ladder leading to the abyss.
OOC: Let's not be attacked while in the sewers, okay?
-
Hunter waited for the others to enter the sewers before walking on ahead and she spoke as she waited "Hey guys don't worry about being attacked down here, I helped build these sewers so the security system should still be active. Let me check." she then walked over to a panel and put her paw against it, and a light went green and she said
"Okay we're safe! Lets get going!"
-
Jerek, again, was the first to follow. I sighed, straightened out the overcoat, which had slipped down one shoulder, and followed. "So, you built a security system for this place?" Jerek said conversationaly. I was too busy just looking around at the dark water.
-
Hunter nodded as she said "Yes I felt that if I ever needed a quick getaway the sewers would be the perfect place, not to many enemies are stupid enough to come down here....well not since I installed that Rocket Launching Chaingun up ahead...with a small cloaking device to boot." She then noticed Jaina looking at the dark water and she said to quell her fears "Don't worry nothing lives down here...just don't fall in or you will never get the smell out of your scales." Hunter said putting emphasis on the word never.
-
"Don't worry, I wasn't intending to." I said. I pulled the overcoat tight around me. "Don't tell me there's a breeze down here." I said, pulling the overcoat even tighter. Jerek said "Don't worry, sis. Everyone saw everything when you were stuck in the swiss cheese dress, so it doesn't matter." I shot a glare at him, but said nothing.
-
Hunter sighed explosivly and slowed her walk till she was walking next to Jaina and took her black belt off of her Gi and tied it around Jaina's waist like a belt, and then said at a whisper "You two are brother and sister...are you sure about that...and don't worry most of us were too busy fighting to see anything too revealing." then a breeze did just happen to blow through the sewers, and blew off the top of her Gi, and it fell into the water.
Although now topless, with her arms crossed her chest and a small blush creeping up on her face she said to Jerek "Make one joke and you will be in that water. Do we understand each other...." Then she remembered Sieg and Dante...and she blushed harder as she turned to them and said "I'm staying up at the head of the line if you need me for anything...well just don't need me." and with that she picked up the pace and was again in front of the pack.
-
Jerek simply grinned widly, and supressed laughter. In a partialy cracked voice, he said "No worries, I won't crack a... jrack a coke." He messed up his speech stifling the laughter. I rolled my eyes. "Oh please." I said, turning away from my brother. I whispered to Hunter "Yes we are, unfortunatly." Jerek was still stifling laughter.
OOC: This is getting weird...
-
Sieg limped up to Hunter, walking beside her as he tossed her his long coat, which mercifully had buttons up the front.
"Here. Put this on... or... you'll catch something... right?" He said, an intense blush covering his face as he said this.
A few seconds passed before he said quietly...
"Hey Miss Hunter? H- Have you ever been in love before?"
-
Hunter took the long coat and nodded her thanks for it and then listened to what Sieg said and replied "Well catching a cold or illness down here is kinda hard, but thank you...and no....I've never been in love before...." what she said next was almost at a whisper and mostly to herself as she said "Until I met you that is." but she was sure with the lack of sound in the sewers he had heard her.
-
I looked up. "Hey, lovebirds, this our stop?" I said, pointing up to the cieling. There was a ladder leading up to a manhole cover. There was the breeze again, which nearly caused the top of the overcoat to fall off. But I pulled it tighter. "Because I'd like to get outta here."
OOC: She didn't hear what they said, she's just remarking on what she's pretty sure is happening.
-
Hunter once more pulled out of her selfinduced day dream snapped her head up at the manhole cover smiled and said "Yep we have arrived! I'll head up first so in case any trouble crops up I can be the welcome wagon, but we should still be pretty safe this is my home after all."
-
Sieg smiled faintly as he heard Hunter's words and he said back...
"That makes two of us then..."
He looked up at the exit and said...
"I'm with you, Miss Hunter. I'll go second."
-
As Hunter went up and opened the manhole cover, I noticed a distinct whistling. "Oh, crap, I recongnize that whistle!" I exclaimed. "No way I'm letting Dan see me wearing just an overcoat!" I shrunk back. Jerek started laughing. I turned bright red through my normaly brown scales, and said "You shut up, Jerek!"
-
Hunter was already halfway up the ladder when she called back down "Anyone else coming, I have hot food and cold drinks...I could use a beer about now." Hunter then saw Jaina retreating, and asked "Are you okay?"
-
"I'm staying down here until Dan passes!" I said. "I am sooooo not letting him see me like this!" Jerek was still laughing. "I said shut up, Jer!" I shouted to him.
-
Hunter happened at that moment to poke her head back through the hole and said "You mean this guy?" and her head was replaced by Dan's who happened to have a blindfold on his face covering his eyes. "Don't worry I won't see a thing!" said Hunter as she smiled.
-
Sieg grinned, and he replied...
"Sounds good, but... I think I'll pass on the Beer."
Dante smirked, and he said...
"Sweet! Been a while since I had a cold one! Count me in!"
As the pair of them joined her on the ladder.
-
REDACTED
-
By the time Jaina, Jerek and Dante were up and out of the manhole Hunter had her front door wide open and the smell of hot food was riding on the wind as Hunter held the door and said "Welcome, and please enjoy!" As she pushed Dan inside first.
-
Dante was smirking slightly after what he had just gotten to see and was about to say soemthing when a look from Sieg shut him up.
"R-right. Let's get moving."
-
I walked in second, an Jerek in third. "Hunter, I really need to take a shower, or at least change into something else." I said. "I really don't want to be stuck in this overcoat for much longer."
-
Hunter laughed as she lead Jaina into her room and locked the door. She then said "The shower is though that door to your left, and you can choose any outfit you like, but bear in mind I am a school teacher, so you may have a very small selection. " Then a thought crossed her mind as she then added "If you find any weapons with a special mark on them...just leave them be....it would be best if those wern't fired indoors." She then stepped out of her room and left Jaina in peace, and grabbed a beer from her refridgrator and sat down on stool in the kicthen.
-
REDACTED
-
Sieg hung back, unsure if he belonged with these people. He had been a cultist, one of their sworn enemies, in the past. As he doubted hismelf, he saw that Hunter was looking at him, and he decided to come inside. He seated himself next to her, and Dante asked the group
"Anyone up for telling us where you came from? Or about your pasts?"
-
"Me? I got born, Jaina got born, we grew up, father was a banker, who got shot in a robbery." I started. "Took revenge on shooter, shot tons of bad people, and that pretty much brings us up to date." I popped the top off the soda and took a sip.
-
Hunter finished sipping her beer and said "Its okay I just need something to unwind after such a day like today." "And killing for me is kinda like second nature anyway." as she sipped her beer
-
I shuddered when Hunter mentioned killing as a second nature. It reminded me of something..
*Flashback*
I walk down a road, a few days after I had killed the one who shot my father. Jaina runs up to me with a note saying:
Mr. A and Miss A,
I know why the shooter killed your father.
Meet me in the abandoned wearhouse on Parker's.
Enigma
*End Flashback*
I took a deep breath, shook my head, and sipped my soda.
-
Hunter looked over when Jarak shuddered and asked "You too cold...I could turn up the heat in here. Or is something bothering you?"
-
Sieg looked at Jaina, concerned about what was troubling her. He looked at Hunter then, before looking at the cieling.
"Me? Don't really know much about what happened before, but the first memory I have is joining the Knights. Then they were all killed, and I was taken prisoner by the Cult. Joined them, saw the evil that they represented, ran off, and then... met Miss Hunter and you guys. To me, death is... nothing new..."
-
Hunter then patted Sieg on the back and said "Well you should feel lucky...aside from you guys and my students, most people just naturally hate my guts...and I can think of several reasons why if you all are willing to hear em."
-
I shook my head. "No... it's nothing.. just something I remembered from a while ago." I said. I brightened up, and said "So, what do you have to eat around here? I didn't exactly get to eat much at the resturant." There was suddenly the sound of very loud cursing from the direction of Hunter's room, more specificly, the shower. "Oh, I think Jaina dropped the soap."
-
Hunter laughed a little as she replied "Yeah the soap only seems to work for me...I don't know why." and then she said "Yeah I've got plenty here help yourself...just don't go near the cheesecake it's booby trapped."
-
"Why is the cheescake booby trapped? ....Nevermind." I got off the stool and wlaked over to the fridge. Swinging it open, the first thing I noticed was a container of swiss cheese. I broke into a wide grin, and started to snicker. I looked away from the swiss cheese(reminding myself to tell Jaina that she could make a dress out of it to replace the old one), and noticed a container of left-over tuna. I pulled it out, and asked Hunter "Where's the bread?"
-
"Booby Trapped? Guess you really like Cheescake, huh? Not that I blame you, though..." Dante snickered. Sieg sat there and looked at the cieling before asking...
"Mr. A? What was it that was troubling you? Not that you have to tell me..."
-
REDACTED
-
Dante had run towards the sound too, and practically ran Jerek over in his haste. Then he saw Jaina, and promptly fainted dead away.
Sieg however, hadn't moved. He looked at Hunter, smiled faintly and said...
"Well... I guess this means Delacroix was right. But... don't worry. I'll never let him or anyone else hurt you, alright Miss Hunter?"
-
Jaina:
I blinked when I noticed Dante faint. I laid the pistol gentaly on a table next to the shower. "Wow... I never knew you had that effect on people, sis!" Said Jerek. I glared at him. "Shut up, Jerek." Then, looking back to Dante, I said "I hope he's okay.." I pulled the towel tighter around myself. I walked closer to Dante's prone form, and shook him. Jerek stepped closer, too. "Sis.. why do you think that'll work?" I rolled my eyes.
-
Hunter still sitting at her stool in the kitchen said loud enough for everyone to hear "Ya know if you hadn't shot him Jaina he would have died a much worse death....he should be thanking you." She then stood up and walked into her room walked over the dead body grabbing his bag in the process and said "Hey he has clothes in here...and they are a lot better than mine....Jaina you may wanna go try these on in the bathroom." she then handed the bag to Jaina and then walked over to the prone Dante, with a glass of water, and whispered in his ear as she splashed the cups contents on his face "Wake up, or you are going to feel pain that made you wish you were dead."
-
REDACTED
-
Dante woke up, shaking his head.
"Ugggh... what happened... oh..."
He said, remembering what had just taken place...
"Heh. If only you could see the look on your face right now, Dante"
Sieg laughed from his place next to Hunter.
"It's just Priceless!"
-
Hunter nudged Sieg in the side with her elbow and said "Be nice. Last I remember you told me something in the sewers that was rather private." She then looked over at the dead body and said "Hey, he does look kinda familiar to me too."
-
REDACTED
-
Hunter then said aloud "I served in the marines for quite a while, and in that time I've made many enemies that would most likely want me dead...but this guy is just too familiar like I know I've seen him somewhere before." then Hunter remembered the bowl of tuna sitting upside down on the kitchen floor. She sighed and said "I have to clean up a mess someone made in my kitchen...I'll be right back."
As she walked past the others she grabbed a tank top that read 'If you fight, then I get to bite' across it. But in order to put it on Hunter had to remove the overcoat that was given to her, exposing her back to the door frame of her room, which would've been fine if the sound of someone clearing their throats directly behind her didn't make her freeze in alarm.
-
Delacroix stood there, a menacing grin on his face. He looked at Hunter appraisingly before saying...
"I cannot see what Sieg finds appealing about you. No matter. You're coming with me!"
He yelled as he drew his longsword and charged her, only to be stopped by the blades of Sieg and Dante.
"Sieg. Are you so weak as to need another's help? Or are you afraid?"
Sieg looked at him, hatred blazing in his eyes.
"Delacroix. You won't lay a hand on her!"
Delacroix however replied casually, paralyzing both Sieg and Dante before turning to leave.
"Rest assured, Sieg. You will suffer..."
As he leapt out the window and vanished from sight...
-
Jaina:
Me and Jerek had our pistols trained on Delacroix, and I only narrowly missed shooting him as he lept out the window. "Damn!" Jerek said. "Why'd I hesitate?" I looked over to Hunter. "Hunter! Are you okay?" Jerek was leaning out the window, watching to see if he could see Delacroix. Nothing. Suddenly, memories flooded back. The corpse... I know where I saw him before! He had been in the resturant!
-
Hunter was still blushing from the fact she had been caught topless in front of the enemy as she screamed "EVERYBODY IN MY ROOM NOW!!!!" She then immediately added "Everyone except Sieg....I need to talk to you." as she slid the shirt over her body and replaced the overcoat once the shirt was on.
-
I ran back to Hunter's room, with Jerek and Dante following me. Once there, I casualy glanced out the window, and saw something that nearly gave me a heart attack. A massive Eye painted on the building across the street. I nearly screamed, but it came out as "Eep!" Jerek looked out the window. "That was at the college... it's so creepy." I said, still breathing heavily. "You're right, Jaina, that thing's creepy."
-
Just as Hunter was about to tell Sieg something she considered important there was a knock on her front door. 'I wonder who that could be?' she thought to herself...as she opened the door she was greeted with a fist to the face.
-
Name: Jae Garrick
Gender: Female
Age: early 20's
Species: Gallimimus
Occupation: Vigilante
Appearance: dark blue scales with yellow stripes on her back, green eyes. She has a slender build with wide hips. Her muscular build is slender and slight since due to her having a normal female level of testosterone in her blood stream her muscular tissue will not develop unlike a male's can.
When not in her costume she usually dresses casually in short sleeved shirts, and usually shorts if the weather is warm enough.
Gear carried: flat black leather costume, body armor, gun with silencer and subsonic ammo, ninja throwing spikes and climbing claws, wears a voice modulator to disguise her voice. Gas Mask. Has a mike that ties into the voice modulator so her voice is not muffled if she needs to speak.
Personality: focused, friendly, curious, level headed, laid back, likes to exercise including run, with light to medium weights focused on endurance instead of strength. Her running is both sprinting to increase her speed and a few miles also, mixing between the two for each running exercise.
Jae stood there, "I knew when I heard about the cult being in town and with all the gunfire I heard you'd be nearby and likely behind that." She said, her voice modulated, but not muffled. She had also put no real force behind her punch, since they were likely not true enemies, though she did keep some ninja throwing spikes handy near her other hand in case other not so pleasant folks were behind her.
-
In an instant, we were at the door, with our guns trained on the female newcomer. I kept my gun trained on her, but Jerek hesitated, nearly lower his gun. He shook his head, and aimed the gun once more. "Who are you, and why did you punch her?" I said. I kept my gun trained on the Gallimimus. Jerek was still hesitant.
-
Hunter uncovered her nose as she replied "Guys it's okay! Put the guns down, she's a friend...kinda." Hunter then looked at Jae and said with a smirk "You know that last one was weak...I know you are stronger than that!"
-
Jae shrugs, "I didn't want to mess up what natural good looks you have left." She said in the usual banter, relaxing a bit since it appeared the others were friends of hers. She looked briefly at the others then back at Hunter, "I didn't know you had sidekicks." She said, pausing a moment before continuing, "Most usually have just the one sidekick."
-
"We're not sidekicks!" I yelled, swinging my gun up on impulse. Jerek grabbed my arm and forced it down. "Sis, you can't shoot her just for mistaking us for sidekicks. I think that's a little... extreme." I slowly alowed him to lower my arm all the way. I holstered the pistol, then I placed my hands on my hips, and said "Well, still, who is she?"
-
Hunter gave a light laugh at Jaina's reaction and said "This is Jae. She and I were in the marines together until one day she just disappeared...seemingly into thin air." Hunter smiled and continued by saying "But I tracked her down and found her....but she did not make it easy. I had to kill alot of people to get to her, but I gotta say it was worth it."
-
"If you say so." I said, still eyeing Jae suspsciously. I looked away for one second, out the window that you could see the eye graffti from, and froze. "Jerek... the eye graffti's gone." I said. Jerek turned. "How the hell could someone wash something that big off so fast?" He said, walking over to the window. I turned back to Hunter. "There was a huge painting of an eye on the building across the street. And now it's gone.."
-
Hunters body froze in place and after several seconds she turned around and said "We have to leave now!" She turned to Jaina and said "Do you remember those weapons I told you not to touch in my room....well now we need them! There is a duffle bag under my bed load it up with the guns and I'll get the ammo!"
-
I nodded, then ran back to Hunter's room. I bent down and reached under her bed. I pulled the duffle bag out, and ran back to the others. "What exactly are these for?" I said, distributing guns to the others. Jerek took a look his gun. "What do you think, sis? Shooting people."
-
Hunter sighed at Jerek's remark and said "Well he's half right...each gun fires a unique kind of bullet...like the one I'm carrying happens to shoot bullets with an explosive tip. If you really wanna find out what the others do...well I guess we gotta get outta here first!"
-
"Can't argue with that." Said Jerek. I looked back, and noticed, faintly, on one of the walls, the shape of an eye forming. I shot it with my ordainary pistol, splintering the effigy of the eye. "Is it normal for eye to randomly appear on walls at your house, Hunter?" I said, keeping my gun pointed at the wall that the eye had appeared on.
-
Hunter stared at the wall were the eye was forming and said "Yeah that's it....I'm outta here!" she turned walked past Jae, out the front door and said "If anyone doesn't want to get burnt to a cindery crisp I suggest you follow me!"
-
"Let's get going, in that case!" I ran out the door, followed by Jerek. The Eye was reforming, and getting larger, nearly overtaking the entire wall. It was vast and bloodshot, hanging on a optic nerve. The pupil, disturbingly like my own, was a slit. But this slit seemed to contain the the deepest, darkest evil.
-
Jae accepts a pistol if one is offered. She nods to what Hunter said. "Best not say where we are going, not yet anyway, that eye may be able to hear or read lips." She said. She drew a gun from one of her concealed holsters. The other had ether the pistol offered to her or was empty, but keeping it hear where some of her ninja throwing spikes were.
-
OOC: A new character. He leads the cult!
Name: Damien Heartwood
Gender: Male
Age: Unknown
Species: A Therapod, but exact species is unknown
Occupation: High Priest of the Watcher(Leader of the Eyes)
Apperance: Damien Heartwood's appearance is mainly concealed, save the very tip of his snout protruding from a dark hood. The rest of his body is cloaked, save his tail. Damien wields a scythe and a pistol. He appears to be extremely thin, but can break a Triceratops' neck in one hand.
Personality: Damien Heartwood is cold, detached, and uncaring. He does not care what happens to the people who he commands, as long as the job he assigned them two is completed. He appears to display sadistic characteristics, but this is largely unknown.
-
Hunter walked two blocks away from her house and then asked "Is everyone here and out of the house?" She waited for the others to answer before she said "I will miss this house....but I've got four more where that came from!"
-
"Four more? All I have is a crappy appartment.." I said. Jerek said "That's because you spend to much time shooting bad guys." I eyed him irratibly. "You live in an appartment too." I shot back. Jerek grinned. "But I live in one with style."
-
"I'm here." Jae said as she looked behind her to see who else had made it, hoping they all had, as well as looking around to see if any danger presented itself. "In our like of work loosing homes is to be expected, though disliked."
-
Sieg and Dante stood back-to-back, panting...
"What was that? Aside from bad?" Sieg asked.
"And just how the heck do you have four homes?" Dante added, questioningly...
As they walked off, Sieg stepped up next to Hunter and asked
"What was it that you had to talk to me about?"
____________________________________________________________________
"Lord Damien. I have returned."
Delacroix stepped forwards and bowed to the lord of the cult.
"I have placed the mark as directed, and will await your next command..."
-
Before she responded to Sieg Hunter spoke into the watch on her wrist and said "Black Dust." and her house exploded in a fireball of ash and debris. She then turned to Dante and said "Well working for the marines is a pretty sweet gig....and they pay well!" Hunter then turned to Sieg and said "So we know we like each other, so where do we go from here?"
-
Jae looked at the explosion, "Good idea." She said, then after Hunter spoke. "Maybe someplace good to hide and plan, as well as rest and heal if any need to heal or restock ammo or other supplies." She said, keeping as alert as she could.
-
Sieg blinked a few times, and then he said
"Well... I really don't know. We're both new at this so..."
Here he sighed a little, then looked at her, before saying
"We should probably take it one step at a time..."
-
REDACTED
IC: Damien:
Damien Heartwood, High Priest to the Watcher, sat on a small, wooden chair. In one hand, he gripped his scythe, which gleamed menacingly. "It is most fortuitus that you have succeeded, for both yourself, and for the cult. For, if you had failed in a mission of this importance, you may very well have found certain body parts missing." Damien's head, as always, was held down, allowing his entire face, muzzle and all, to be covered by his hood. "What news do you bring of the Key? Who is it?"
OOC: As opposed to Jerek and Jaina, Damien will be RPed in third person, makes him feel more detached. Also, if any of you can guess which Graphic Novel villian Damien Heartwood is based off of, you get a cookie!
-
"Well, that sounds like a start. Oh, by the way. There's a gun supplier around here that I have a thing with. We could stop by there and get some guns upgraded, or get some new firepower." Dante said, grinning at the group.
____________________________________________________________________
"My lord, there has been no news yet of the key. However... I have sent out some of my strongest demons to search for it. It wll be found soon..."
Delacroix responded, bowing deeper to the high priest...
-
Damien:
"I see. For your sake, may it be found soon." Said Damien. "Now, those known as Jaina Anderson, Jerek Anderson, Dante S. Starfall, Hunter, Sieg Warheit, and Jae Garrick must be tailed. Do not directly interfere with them until I give order to do so, or the punishment shall be.... most painful." There was no indication of emotion in Damien's voice, only a hollow sound, that seemed to keep going even when the cloaked figure had finished talking.
-
Dante saw Jaina blush, and he smirked a little to himself as he responded
"So, right then. To Ms. A's apartment then!"
Sieg nodded, and the group set off.
____________________________________________________________________
"As my lord wishes it. It will be done."
Delacroix said, standing up and vanishing into the darkness of the cult's base...
-
REDACTED
-
"Cool. That's near his place. I'll show you guys after we get to Ms. A's place. And I agree. Let's go!" Dante said, nimbly beginning to scale the roof to get started on the trip...
-
I followed, then Jerek clambered up after me. "There's a very cheap security system on my door. In all likelyhood, it'll go off despite the code being entered into it." I said. "So don't freak if it starts going off. I'd shoot it, but that'd be kinda suspicsous." I added. Jerek remarked "Gunshots always raise suspiscions, sis."
-
Jae nods, "It sounds like as good a plan as any." She said and was ready to travel with the others, while keeping as alert as she usually did for danger and any following as well as she could.
-
Hunter looked at Sieg and said "Yeah one step at a time sounds good." As the group started walking she shuddered and asked "Is anyone else cold or is it just me?" To reasure herself Hunter checked the ammo in her gun twice. She then looked over to Sieg again and suddenly she felt safe for some reason...she couldn't wxplain it, but she knew she and the others would be okay.
-
Soon, we arrived at the apartment building. I swung open the door, passed a couple of Dromaeosaurus kids playing in the hall, past someone arguing with the landlord, and came to my room. I entered a code into a panel near the door, and Jerek said "Alright, everyone cover your ear slits!" Surpisingly enough, the alarm did not go off. I grinned smugly, stepped through the door, and annouced "Welcome to my apartment, make yourself at home." I walked in, revealing one room with two smaller rooms. I pointed to one of the smaller rooms. "My bedroom, don't touch the second dresser." I blushed slightly at the last part of the setence. I pointed to the other. "The bathroom." I sat down on the lumpy couch, which was ripped in a few spots. The fridge was in one corner of the room, and was about hip-height. I crossed my legs and said "The ammo's under the bed, but don't take any of the guns.
-
Hunter whistled as she said "Hey this aparment looks like the one I have in Australia!" She sat down next to Jaina on the counch and said "This place is really kinda homey....I like it!" Then she had to stand back up and walked into the bathroom.
-
REDACTED
-
Hunter stepped inside the bathroom and said "I wonder where that window leads?" Hunter then quickly opened the window and backflipped onto a scaffold and looked up knowing that it lead to the roof of the building and started walking up the stairs. Once she reached the top she pulled out a set of binoculars and looked over the city-scape.
-
REDACTED
-
Jae followed the others to the apartment. She said nothing at first looking around the insides. She went over to sit down on the couch and nodded at the explanation of the rips on the sofa. "Those would be hard to avoid for some." She said. She looked around, "Nice place, could be far worst." She said.
-
Suddenly, Hunter found Sieg standing there next to her. He looked at her for a moment, and then he smiled and said...
"See anything of interest?"
Dante, meanwhile had turned around at the shattering sound, but he couldn't place it. He decided to go check on Jaina. For some reason, he had found himself increasingly interested in her. He knoced on her door and called
"You ok, Ms. A?"
-
Hunter blushed and said to Sieg "Right now I only see one thing...and I'm staring right at it." as she smiled. Then Hunter frowned as she said "Did you hear something?" But even if Sieg had answered Hunter didn't hear it as she was too busy staring into his eyes.
-
Sieg smiled as he wrapped his arms around Hunter, marvelling at how well she fit into his embrace. He brought his face close to hers, and whispered...
"I'm glad I met you, Miss Hunter...My love..."
-
Hunter smiled back and said "Well then...my love...are we going to kiss or not?" Still bringing her face ever closer to his getting ready for her first real kiss, by someone she truly loved....and she couldn't be happier.
-
Jae stood up nodding, "I heard something as well." She said as she went over to where the door was, beside Dante. "I hope it's nothing." She said as she drew her pistol.
-
"We are." Sieg said, bringing his lips to meet hers in his first true kiss from someone who he loved with all his being...
"Heh. If you knew us, then you'd know that that wasn't nothing. We seem to attract too much trouble for that." Dante said to Jae, tightening his grip on his sword...
-
Jae nods, "Expect the worst, hope for the best." She said. She held her pistol ready to wait and see what would happen.
-
Hunter was in heaven she wanted this one moment to never ever end...the only feeling she had right now was the kiss taking place and nothing else mattered to her. She was in total bliss, and almost nothing could ruin this moment as she thought to herself 'This is the day I've dreamed about...I can't believe this is really happening and to me....a simple ex-marine and school teacher...although knowing my luck...something bad is going to transpire while were up here....but....I-I just don't care anymore...I just want to be with Sieg and enjoy this.'
-
I was still distracted.. Who was that out there? The scythe... When I heard the knock and Dante's voice, I blushed and said "I-I'm fine.. there was someone out there..." Now I heard Jerek's voice "You sure you're okay, sis? You sound frightened..." I replied "I'm fine, I'll tell you when I come out." I slipped nto the tank top, and got into the jeans. I kneeled down, took a pistol out from under the bed, but it in my pocket, then opened the door, and stepped out of my room.
-
Jae looks her over, "You sure you are ok?" She says then glances into the room to see if anyone else is in there.
-
Sieg was in paradise. It was as though his whole world had been removed, and all that there was was Hunter and he. He loved it, and he wished with all his heart that they could stay like that forever.
This is... unbelievable. That someone... like me... could find love. I... hope that we can stay together like this forever...
Dante looked at Jaina, and grinned.
"Glad to see that you're alright, Ms. A. I'd hate for something to happen to you."
Then he looked her over again, and said...
"Though with a body like that, I can see why he was looking..."
-
Hunter honestly didn't want this moment to end, but she knew the others would start to worry about them if they didn't come back and after several more seconds she finally broke the passionate kiss between them. She then decided to speak up and say "T-that was wonderful...but I think we should be getting back to the others now...okay...sweetie?"
-
I blushed whith Dante's comment, and said "Th-th-thanks.. Dante.." Jerek, on the other hand, had stepped into my room, and looked out the window. "I don't see anyone... What did he look like, sis?" I took a deep breath, and replied "I didn't see his face.. he had a hood pulled over his muzzle, I don't even know what species he was.. but he had a scythe." Jerek blinked. "A scythe? What was he, the Grim Reaper or something?" I frowned. "Jerek! It really scared me!" I yelled. Jerek sighed. "Sorry, sis, couldn't resist."
-
At that moment Hunter came back out through the bathroom door, quickly followed by Sieg, and Hunter still had a blush on her face as she turned to see what happened. She looked puzzled and asked "What happened in here? I'm gone for a few minutes and someone breaks a window?"
-
"When I was in my bedroom, I wasn't wearing anything.." I blushed at this moment, despite being fully clothed. "This hooded guy leaned in the window and started threatening me. He had a scythe, and the hood was pulled down over his face..." I shivered slightly at recalling his words.
-
Hunter's face immediately became serious as she asked "Wait this scythe did it have a symbol or marking on it? Like the ones on my specialized guns?"
-
"N-no... I don't think so... but what he said.." I shivered again. "Well what did he say? Something like 'let's make out' or 'DIE!'?" Said Jerek. I glared at him, but then recalling the hooded figure's words, I shivered, and replied. "He said... he said he wanted my soul..."
-
Jae hisses a bit, "Sounds like more of these cult folks. They may be either following us, have some sort of way of tracking us or know where our various homes."Jae said.
-
"Delacroix..." Seig muttered under his breath, looking at the glass on the floor...
"Hey guys? This isn't good. That wasn't a cultist, but rather one of Delacroix's summons. It must have been searching for something, and it found it... We'd better be careful."
Dante looked for a second, then said...
"It was looking for the Key. That's what the Cultists are looking for, right? Well, he must have found that. Seig's right. We'd better be on guard..."
____________________________________________________________________
Delacroix stepped into the central citadel of the cult's base, kneeling before Damien.
"My lord, I bring news of the key. It has been broken into four parts, two of which have been found and retrieved. The other two, however, will be more difficult. They are with Jaina Anderson and Sieg Warheit. My searchers have discovered that Sieg's piece is in his gauntlet on his left arm, and Jaina's is located inside her. Requesting permission to go after them, my liege."
-
Damien:
"You think..... I did not already know?" Damien said. "If I had waited for your pathetic underlings to bring me the news.... we would all grow old listening to the silence. I went there myself, and viewed Jaina Anderson. She is indeed, the one who holds the last piece of the key. Now.... leave me." Damien stood up, and turned to the darkness. He stepped into it, and a dark glow lit the blackness.
"My lord... with the aid of my minions, we have dicovered the final pieces of the Key... you will soon be free." Said Damien.
"This is good." A voice from everywhere said.
"When do you.... wish for us to retrive the pieces?" Damien asked the voice.
"Soon.. soon.. We desire to know where the pieces are." The voice from everywhere said.
"One.... Is within the gauntlet of the Traitor Warheit. The other is within the body of Jaina Anderson." Replied Damien.
"We wish you to go in the night." Said the voice from everywhere.
"It.... shall be done, lord." Damien turned and stepped out of the darkness.
"Delacroix.... attack tonight.... kill them all... but bring Jaina Anderson to me..."
OOC: That's right, the hooded figure was Damien himself.
IC: Jaina:
"The Key? But it was talking to me... I'm no key." Jaina was still shivering from the encounter with the figure. I fingered the gun in my hip pocket, and my tail swished from side to side nervously. Jerek frowned. "Sis... I've never seen you so worked up before." He said. I glared at him. "What? I'm not allowed to be scared?!" I snapped. Jerek looked suprised. "Sis... I was just trying to help.." He said. I blinked, suprised at my own words. "I'm sorry... this whole thing has gotten me worked up..."
-
"As you wish, my lord. They will be dead, and the girl brought to you, by morning."
As Delacroix left, he walked to a common training hall, where two others waited. Killer, and Dante's older brother Virgil.
"Come. We have orders to kill those who oppose us. We strike tonight...."
____________________________________________________________________
"Don't feel bad, Ms. A. We're all afraid. There's a storm coming, we've all felt it, and we all know that something is going to happen. But don't worry, I'll protect you, 'K?"
Dante looked at her with gentle eye, and smiled...
-
I blushed when Dante smiled at me. "Th-thanks.. Dante.. I feel a little better now.." I moved closer to him. "Who will they send, or should I say what will they send?" Jerek cut in, guestering with his gun to the window, then to me. "And what exactly do they want with my sister?" I smiled. Only when Jerek was really serious about something would he call me his sister. Usualy, it was 'sis' or just Jaina. "Why are they interested in me, though?" I asked, frowning.
-
"Could be you, or something you carry or know, it's hard to say without knowing what they want. As for who they'll send it'll likely be among their best if not their best. They know where we are, and we don't know when they will strike so we have to be ready." Jae said looking around a bit as she kept her pistol handy.
-
Seig nodded grimly, saying...
"That will probably include Delacroix and that Killer fellow from before..."
He then drew his sword, twisting it in his hands before thinking about what he would need to do.
I need to beat Delacroix. That's obvious... but with that assassin after Hunter...
Dante looke nervous, saying...
"My brother will probably be there, too. He's strong."
Sieg looke at Jaina for a moment then, and said
"The reason they are after you is that you must have the Key, or at least part of it. They'll likely be trying to take take you alive..."
-
"But I don't have a piece of the key! I don't even know what it looks like!" I said, frusterated. I found myself placing my head on Dante's shoulder. "I just want to sleep... and forget about that hooded figure, and go back to normal..." My nerves were fried. I started to cry on Dante's shoulder. Jerek sighed. "Maybe we should let her get some rest..." He said.
-
Hunter's heart beat was speeding up considerably as this news of some unknown object was starting to scare her....she was beginning to remember a bed time story that her mother used to tell her whenever she did something bad....it sounded almost like this. Hunter hugged herself and shuddered as she said "That bedtime story is was too much like this to be coincidence....it just can't be."
Hunter shuddered again as she whispered to herself 'This is dangerous, the others know this too...' She gripped her gun and hard too as she said "I think I can kinda explain what's going on around here....but first Jaina needs her rest."
-
Dante nodded, and he picked Jaina up and carried her to her bed. He placed her gently down, and pulled up the covers.
"Rest well, Ms. A. I'll protect you..."
He said...
Sieg looked at Hunter, smiled, and said...
"Whatever you miss, I think I'll be able to cover... Miss Hunter..."
-
********************************************************************
I run through the forest, in a simple grey gown. There are noises all around me, all projecting a threatening air about them. As I ran, I heard a voice. "Don't be afraid.... child.... I am here..." I stopped, and the cloaked figure from the day approached me. "I will not hurt you... child..." It lifted up its hood, and revealed a face. Dante's face. "Touch me... child..." Said the figure.
********************************************************************
I woke up with an involuntary scream. The sheets slid partway down my body. I breathed heavily, as the door opened.
-
Hunter smiled at Sieg's comment and said "Thanks...but now the rest of you need to hear something important." As she sat down on the couch once more she shuddered again and hugged herself harder than before as she thought about what she was about to tell the others.
-
I stood up, and realized that Dante must have put me in bed. I had already gotten hot under the sheets, so I stripped down, taking off the tank top and pants, exposing my body, and then got back into bed. Some sweat was sliding down the scales of my muzzle, so I wiped it off. Maybe the heat had influenced that dream... I fell back to sleep, hoping that was the answer.
Jerek:
I sat down on a chair, placed my hands on either side of my muzzle, and sighed. "Uhhhh.... This is going to be a long night." I said, recalling when Jaina was only four. She had been afraid of the dark, and on night I had stayed up all night to assure her the monsters wouldn't get her... If I mentioned that today, I would be slapped.
-
Hunter looked over to Sieg and then Jerek and said "I'm sorry this had to happen, but now this story my mom told is more real than I ever imagined....I don't know....I'm not sure if I should tell it or not..." She looked over to Sieg, and found a ray of strength she didn't know she had as she continued with the story...
"This is a story I've heard since I was a child but toinght it seems to be more real than I hoped....it talks about a key and how it should bring about the ultimate darkness....but I just hope this isn't what this is all about." Hunter moved closer to Sieg and hugged him trying to feel better about this.
-
Dante had been waiting outside Jaina's doorway while she slept, and when he heard her scream, he opened the door, only to see her on the bed, with no clothes on. He blushed, turned around, and stammered...
"Uh.. S-sorry Miss A. Just wanted to see if you were alright... Um... yeah..."
Sieg sat next to Hunter, placing his arm around her gently, reassuringly. He smiled at her and whispered...
"Shh.. It'll be ok... I'll be right here..."
____________________________________________________________________
Delacroix and the others had drawn close to the apartment by now, and were discussing the plan to attack.
"Remember, Lord Damien wants Jaina Anderson alive Kill her and I kill you. Understand?"
-
Jaina:
I blinked my eyes open. "D-Dante?" Despite my exhaustion, I blushed at him having seen me with no clothes on. "I-I-I'm, I just had a bad dream..." I stood up. "Ca... can you close the door?" I was blushing harder now. "I want to talk to you about something."
-
Jae nods, "We are all here. You only need to continue if you really want to. But any bit of information may help." She said as she sat down as well, to try to get some rest while she could since who knows when things may really heat up.
-
Jerek:
I got up, and moved closer to Jae. I liked her. "So, you think the key in the story, and the key the cultists are searching for is one and the same?" I asked Hunter.
-
Sieg nodded, and as he looked at the group, he said...
"What these Cultists call the Watcher has another name. I first hear it called Azrael, the angel of Unification. You see, this world is composed of three planes. The first is the Celestial plane. That is where just and righteous souls are rewarded. Next, the Middle plane. That's where we are. Finally there is the Demon Plane. The evil souls are sent there, and most become hideous monsters. What the darkness Hunter mentioned is, that is what will happen when all three worlds meet. The darkness will subsume all, and demons will once again rule."
Dante looked at Jaina, nodded, and said...
"Alright. What is it that you wanted to ask me?"
-
Hutner looked up and sighed as she continued the story "The story says that long ago the key was broken into four parts and scattered across the planet, wiether those peices have been found or not remains to be seen....but if they are ever peiced back together..." She thought about back at her home as she continued "That eye you guys saw on my wall has someting to do with the story but I don't know what....this is bad...if they are after one of us then they may be coming after any one of us next!"
Hunter looked over to Sieg and said "I'm not going to lose you....I will fight to the very last to make sure whatever happens dosent' hurt you." But at that outburst she blushed as she realized she had said that within earshot of the others sitting around her...but this only served to make her hug Sieg harder, as she faintly smiled.
-
"They could be after more then just one of you folks, it could be anywhere from 2-4." She said. "We need to try to find out we can thwart their plan somehow. Then everyone who has a happy ending can go ahead with it." She said.
-
Jaina:
"Well..." I found myself unable to speak. I was blushing even harder, and kept thinking about making out with Dante. I shook my head, and said "I-I had this dream... you were in it.." I took a deep breath, still blushing. "But it wasn't you. It was that hooded figure again.. but it had your face." I blushed harder, then stepped forward and hugged Dante. "I don't know what it was... but it was evil.." I hugged him tighter.
-
Dante looked at her, then he suddenly seemed to grow even more agitated.
"My brother... he may have had something to do with it. He has a strange power over dreams. He can mold them into anything he wants... but that means that he must be close. Or else he couldn't influence your dream..."
As he said this, Dante slid his hand to the hilt of his blade, looking around...
Sieg hugged Hunter back, as he said...
"I promise that you will be safe. No matter what happens I... won't lose you again. No matter what."
-
I hugged tighter. "That might b-b-be it..." I was turning redder. I didn't want to let go. Part of me thought this was unsual, I normally fended for myself. The rest of me thought this was right, and didn't want to let go. "Please don't leave, Dante... I-I feel safer with you here." I said, my muzzle now bright red.
-
Dante relaxed his grip on his blade, and wrapped both his arms around Jaina. He held her close for a moment, then said...
"It's gonna be fine. I'll stay here with you. If you don't mind putting on some clothes, that is..."
-
"Err.. Would going under the sheets be okay? I can't sleep on a warmer day like this if I get too hot." I said, disintangling myself from Dante. I felt warm all over. I noticed that even my tail had wrapped itself around. I walked back to the bed, and got under the sheets. "Maybe I'll sleep better now that you're here..." I closed my eyes.
OOC: Que violent attack by cultists.
-
Hunter still hugging Sieg shuddered and she couldn't stop shaking for some reason...and then it hit her as her eyes shot open in fear. "We need to leave now! This place isn't safe anymore!" Just as those words left her mouth the sound of glass breaking could be heard as one window in the kitchen shattered into fragments.
Another window shattered as well and a net was thrown thorught the opening...just as Hunter was standing to investigate, the net wrapped around her body and shocked her with 2,000 volts of electircity and Hutner fell to the floor unconsious.
OOC: Que means start right?
-
OOC: Yep.
IC: Jaina:
I sat bolt upright, swung off the bed, swung on an overcoat, and pulled a gun off from the bedside table. Any self-consciousness of being seen wearing only an overcoat vanished, as a I flung the door open and pointed the gun to the broken window. Then, I turned red, remembering my situation. Jerek stared at me in shock for a few seconds, then pointed his guns back at the window.
-
Jae shot at a cultist as she pulled out a second gun, glad she had left herself holding one pistol in her hand. When she shot the gun made almost no sound due to both the silencer and the sub sonic ammo being used. She continued shooting, depending on what sort of clothing or body armor they appeared to wear either in the vitals, a head shot, the face, or other vulnerable place of their body.
-
Sieg watched Hunter fall, and he roared in anger. He lunged into the culitsts, blade slashing away. After felling several, he jumped back, cursing in anger.
"Damn! This isn't working... we need backup!"
The armor on his left arm began glowing, and he placed his hand on the ground, intoning...
"Sin of the darkness, anguish of all, I summon thee, now heed my call. Guilt! Come forth!"
Several sword-wielding demons formed around him, and he gestured to have them attack the enemies. Dante meanwhile, was supporting Jaina, his two pistols roaring as he shot at the cultists coming through the window...
-
Hunter was slowly regaining her senses as she heard cursing and gunfire...but it took her a moment to remember what had happened and then it came back to her in a flash! The cultist had attacked, and she was the first to go down...her eyes rotated upward and saw a blade coming down upon her head and thought 'This is it for me....I wish I had more time with Sieg...I'll never forget him!'
-
Steel clashed upon steel as Sieg's blade stopped the attack. Letting out a feral growl, he sent the cultist flying with a kick to the torso, then one of his demons appeared and stabbed the flying foe. He turned to Hunter and said...
"Thank goodness that you're OK. I couldn't stand the thought of losing you..."
-
Hunter blushed as she said "Thanks...I owe you another one." She then struggled to get out of the net to no avail. She blushed again as she asked Sieg, "Uhh...can I get a little help here...I'm kinda stuck in this silly net...and I would love to repay the jerk who put me in this thing to begin with!"
-
"Right. Here you go." Sieg smiled as he cut the net with his blade before returning his attention to the oncoming cultists.
"Geez! There's no end to them."
-
Hunter smiled as she was finally free of that accursed net and she replied to Sieg...
"There will be in about ten seconds!" She then let loose a scream and flipped over one cultist and drop kicked another then brought her fist around to punch another one in the face, and just as she was about to strike another one with her right arm, she suddenly felt a jolt of pain, it was cold and red hot at the same time....it actually stopped her from screaming in pain...for about twenty seconds then she did scream!
:AHHHH!" She then ripped the sword....(for that's what it obviously had to be to cause this kind of pain) out of her arm and with her left hand snapped another cultist neck dropping his body to the floor before she asked "W-where are w-we going to go now?" The pain and blood loss was starting to get to her. 'Dang I'm losing too much blood, but if I hadn't pulled that sword out of my arm....he would've taken my whole arm off!' thought Hunter as her vision began to blur
-
Jae continued to shoot the cultists. She continued to shoot with one hard as she pressed the button to drop the magazine from one pistol and put it into her mouth sideways to hold as she took out another magazine to put into the pistol, which she cocked using same mouth and hand before she continued shooting.
-
Sieg raced over to Hunter's side, placing his hand on the wound. He tore a strip of cloth off of a dead cultist, making sure that there was no blood on it. He quickly bandaged up Hunter's wound, placed his hand on it and recited a basic healing doggerel. He then picked up his sword again, and leapt into the fray again.
Dante, meanwhile, had run out of ammo in his pistol magazines. He holstered them both deftly, then drew his sword, swiping at any cultists near him.
-
I kicked a Cultist. Now was not the time to be self-conscious. I shot another in the head, but I felt someone step on my tail. They ground their foot in. I winced in pain, and turned one gun back and shot randomly. The pressure was instantly taken off my tail. Some tears had appeared in my overcoat, but I didn't really care. Jerek was facing off against several cultists. I was about to give him some help, when I suddenly felt a hand around my neck, and something heavy bash into my head. My vision swam, and I blacked out...
OOC: Que end of battle, and raid on the Cultist base, and epic battle with Heartwood himself.
-
Dante turned around, just in time to see Virgil knock Jaina out. As he picked up her unconcious form, Dante yelled out!
"Jaina! No!" Then he focused on Virgil, growling...
"Virgil... let her go. Now, or I kill you..."
Virgil simply grinned, and taunted...
"I'd love to see you try. But you have to reach me first..."
And he turned around and left, leaving several cultists surrounding Dante. He tried his best to fend them off, but a strike from behind him sent him to the floor, out cold...
Sieg was faring little better. Cut in several places, and bleeding from a wound to the arm, he was barely holding his own against the tide. As another strike was aimed at him, he parried it but was hit by a stunning shot from an unseen opponent. Delacroix stepped in, and pried the gauntlet off of Sieg, dispelling the Sword demons as he did so, and calmly left again...
-
Jerek:
"Jaina!" I shouted. Everything went red. I swung one of my pistols, and caved in the muzzel of a Ceolophysis. I shot two Cultists at once, and shot more, forging a path to where Dante's brother had left with my sister. But to no avail. Suddenly, a figure appeared, massive and hulking, and swatted me aside like a fly. I crashed into a wall. The figure vanished, as the cultists began to retreat. As I lay there, temporarly paralized, I recalled my father's last words. "Take care of your sister, Jerek, keep her safe." I guess I failed.
Jaina:
My vision swam again. I looked around, my vision still blurry. I was in the back of a car... my vision darkened again, and I once again fell unconsious.
-
Jae continued shooting, using the same method to shoot while loading her other pistol. She continued doing so as long as the cultists came and she could, focusing on attempting to keep the cultists off of the other folks since they were more important then she was to the overall safety of the city, if not the world, and she put the safety of others before her own.
-
Damien:
"Yessssss..." Damien said, as he heard the car stop. It was all coming together. Soon, his master would be free, and the world would be his. When the figures exited the car, one carrying Jaina Anderson's unconsious figure, Damien said "Good.... for once, you are sucsessful... I must congratulate you... now, tie the girl down, so the ritual may begin."
-
Hunter blinked and couldn't fix her vision it was still too blurry 'I've lost way too much blood...this...can't be...' She then passes out hitting the floor still grasping her right arm with her left hand and a tear running down her cheek as she mutters in her subconscious state,"I'm....sorry...I...couldn't....help"
-
REDACTED
-
A voice then called out from the shadows "As much as I would love to see the world come to an end I still have one loose end to tie up and if she dies then I can't have my vengeance!" A hooded figure walked into eyesight and removed the hood and it was none other than Killer himself! He smiled as he said "Sorry about this...but Jaina happens to be my collateral now...." he pulled out a sword but the blade was leaf green, and he replied
"Don't make me ask twice you fool! Give me Jaina or die like the weakling you are!" He then took a battle stance and prepared for whatever Damien had planned.
-
Damien:
"Fool....? Weakling...?" Damien said. His scythe glinted. "You believe that pathetic blade.... can slay me....?" Damien stepped forward. He extended a hand, and suddenly, Killer flew back. Damien turned back to Jaina. "Now.... where were we..." He raised his scythe...
Jaina:
I closed my eyes, and hoped someone would come soon.
-
Although he was flying backwards he had enough sense to throw his sword forward towards the scythe and knocked it out of Damien's hands before it could strike Jaina. Killer then smiled as he came charging at Damien with his fist balled and ready for a real fist to fist fight! And he started it with a right uppercut...and missed! 'Damn that's twice...my aim is slipping!'
-
Jae wanted to go right with Jerek but she stayed to go to where the medical kit was. She ran into the bathroom and came out with it. She set it down near where Hunter was and opened it and started to doctor her wounds with the things inside as fast as she could.
-
REDACTED
-
As killer landed on his feet he sniffed the air a few times and replied "Ya know some air freshener or maybe a nice smelling candle might make this place a little more pleasant..." he then smiled and said "For me to kick your butt in!" as he charged again, knowing his enemy had the scythe back in this hands.

Killer lowered his fist and looked like someone had drained the blood out of his body he was just that pale. He then found his voice as he said "NO! Money won't be enough! I also want Hunter brought to me alive with the money and that will be payment enough!" He then looked over to Jaina, whistled and said "You just coming from a costume party....or do you always dress like that?" as he eyed her body.
-
REDACTED
-
Although Damien was still standing with a bullet wound in his chest out of the air came a scream in the form of a foot striking the same bullet wound, followed by a lighting bullet fired from a specialized pistol. Hunter stood next to Jaina and said "You really need to put some clothes on." She then winced in pain as she remembered her right arm was still not at 100% yet.
She sighed and said to herself 'That's one I owe Jae now too! I gotta stop collecting these...a few more and I'll start to lose count!'
-
"Hunter!" I exclaimed. "These guys are insane!" I struggled with the binds. Jerek lept down, and began to untie me. Damien reeled for a few seconds, then regained balance. "Hunter...? Ah.... Don't you remember me?" Damien Heartwood lifted his hood, and grinned.
OOC: Have it be someone really, really, really old, but have Hunter recongnize him!
-
As Damien revealed himself...Hunter's reaction was not what Killer was expecting. The Alimon fell to her knees, with tears running down her muzzle, as her eyes widened in shock, her breathing became erratic and swift, her whole body was shaking she couldn't believe it he was alive....after all these years...he was still alive and well...it didn't matter that he was a cultist he was alive and that is the sole reason Hunter spoke the following sentence...
"D-D-Damien...…is...it really...I mean....how...why...you....I-I can't...i don't want....to fight....not you." Hunter then slumped forward and broke her fall with her left hand and still shed tears, not understanding how he had survived.
Killer looked over to Damien and asked "Do you know her....cause I still get to kill her!"
-
Damien grinned, and flung Killer aside. "Not... yet..." He hissed. One of my hands was free, so I started to untie the ropes with it. "Hunter, who is he?!" Jerek said, stepping back and aiming both guns at the figure. "Do not be sad, Hunter.... you have nothing to fear.... we will make it all better..." I shivered. "Hunter! Who ever that was, it's not him anymore! Listen to his voice!"
OOC: Hunter has to make it through this, because I've got just a bit more to reveal about Damien Heartwood.
-
Hunter's body was still shaking heavily as all of a sudden Damien received an open palm strike to his chest, with both hands belonging to Hunter! She winced in more pain as she grabbed her right arm and said "Jaina are you free yet? We need to leave!"
She then picked up Killers sword, which from her wounds was way to heavy, but of course this didn't stop her from throwing it with pinpoint accuracy into Damien's hood and held him in place as she spat on the ground and with tears sill flowing from her eyes she turned to run!
-
"I'm out, let's go!" I lept off the table, not caring what anyone saw, and ran. Jerek followed after us, taking a few shots at presuing cultists.
Damien:
Damien yanked the blade from his hood and tossed it aside. He looke up at the cieling and said "No.. Master... I have failed you..." Suddenly, he shuddered. "Please! I can try again! I- Noooooooooo!" Damien fell in two halves, each half with clothing tied off to cover the ending of each half.
Jaina:
We ran from the temple, which was glowing brightly, and shaking. "Do you guys have a car or something?" Jerek nodded, and we all ran towrds where he indicated. It was his car, alright. A black sports car. At the moment, I didn't care what the transportation was, as long as we got out of here and I found some clothes.
OOC: Damien may be in two halves, but do not count him of of the RPG yet...
-
Hunter slowed her pace as she and Jerek and Jaina reached the car. She took several deep breaths trying to calm herself down and got into the rear passenger seat behind the driver and slumped forward and cried again as the car pulled off.
OOC: Ahh...good! BTW Kor, and Starfall I have an idea of where your characters can be at this time...in case you feel left out...don't worry I have plans! B)
-
The car rumbled up the road. I hadn't got my seat belf on yet, and was flung head over heels, untill I was upside down in the back seat. What remained of the overcoat fell down. I sighed, then straightened. I looked out the back window, and called to Jerek. "As much as I hate to say it, you've gotta speed up, Jerek!" There were cultists on motorcycles following us.
-
(OOC: thanks, looks like our 2 characters were not involved in the last part of this rp. The posting seemed pretty fast, Not sure if you even need Jae in any future rp since it seems all covered. It's why I left one of the other rp threads here.))
-
(OOC. Sieg and Dante are unconcious at the time.)
-
OOC: It's not over just yet...
-
OOC: This post is for Kor to reply too okay? ;)
IC: Hunter was shaking, but that could be in fact due to the car bumping down the road. She still had tears running down her muzzle, but as she looked up she screamed at Jerek "STOP THE CAR!" Of course she had a reason for shouting that out, as she looked out the window there was Jae fighting several cultist in a alleyway.
-
The tires squealed, as Jerek slammed his foot down on the brakes. I still hadn't secured myself to the seat, so my head smacked into the window as the car screeched to a halt. Jerek swung the door open. "Jae! Get in!" He yelled.
-
Just as a pair of Cultists closed in on the car, Dante and Sieg leapt off of a nearby rooftop, slicing them down.
"Sorry we're late, Miss Hunter" Sieg said, grinning from ear to ear...
-
REDACTED
-
Hunter looked up at Sieg and for a moment the smallest smile could be seen on her face, but then she immediately set her gaze back on he floor and sighed as Dante and Sieg entered the car.
-
(ooc: to far past for Jae to suddenly appear after doing nothing for so long and not helping anyone. oh well. Guess she was just a fifth wheel really and not needed. )
-
(ooc: Come on....dont' leave! :( Trust me the same thing has happened to me on this site severa times....that's why I hate going to bed at night....I may miss something vital to the rp, that involes my char. but then I remember my rule...adapt and enjoy it!)
-
OOC: No, Jae was fighting cultists and trying to get to the Cultist base, that's what the post meant.
-
(ooc: I guess she fighting cultists off camera the whole time, guess she teleported magically into a mass of them while hunter teleported to the last battle area. Maybe I should have done doctor strange or doctor fate, their better at teleportation. I"m way to confused to know what to even do, besides the fact it seems some folks can teleport like hunter and certain others, apparently Jae can too, but is very bad at it. I'm way confused since I didn't think any char could teleport, let alone some are good at it and some are very bad at it.)
-
OOC: Just have Jae get in the car, so Jerek can drive away and get away from the Cultists.
-
(ooc I have no idea what is going on or why folks can suddently teleport, some are masters even with lots of blood loss and others are very bad at it. guess jae is better at summonong ir throwing around lighting, ice speaers, or maybe force lighting. That is the only thing that can even start to make sense to me as to why everyone was together and jae was way way over here by herself. If I post now no one will ike it since I've not the faintest idea what is going on and will have to do a post around that and everyone, especially the gm, will be pissed at the post.)
-
OOC: I'm really sorry, we're all getting confused here. There was no teleporting, we were just trying to make it so your character didn't get left out of the fight with the cultists. The reason it seemed like Hunter teleported was just suppost to be for dramatic effect, she didn't really teleport(I think... I'm going to have the ask TGVG about this).
-
((ooc if I post now you folks will not like it. just a warning since it'll involve a lot of weirdness and stuff that is not cannon with the world likely, but its the only wya to explain why jae was here all by herself while everyone else was off at the final battle. I have no idea where the original jae was after she pathed up hunter, guess she either died or went home. Like I said I can post but I"m warning you you'll not like it since it'll likely be very likely contain at least one element that is not cannon with this universe. I"m so confused I've no other idea whawt to do.))
-
OOC: Alright, I'll let you re-read the posts and try to work things out.
-
((OOC: I have read them several times, I"m as confused as before.))
-
OOC: Maybe if you just let us help you out a bit, you'll be able to think of a way to gey Jae to where she is now without the odd post you PMed me.
-
((OOC: up to you, I"ve re read them and I have not the faitnest idea how folks got to where they are unless some can teleport and some like jae are verybad at it, and some are masters at it.))
-
OOC: My thought is that while the chaos at the cultist base was going on, Jae was searching for the others, and got attacked. Kinda like how Sieg and Dante got there. They ran.
Dante smiled, and hugged Jaina back before attacking a pair of cultists with his pistols...
-
(OOc: I guess hunter teleported from the appartment to the cult base with the other 2, and jay teleported into a mass of cultists walking down the street and miles from the cultist base. I know I"m very stupid but that is the closest thing I can figure out as to what the [cencored] is going on. with my stupidity I"m totally last after my post about Jae getting the first aid kit and seeing to Hunter's wounds. )
-

(OOC: Okay... this I can actually explain Kor...
As Jae finished bandaging Hunters wounds Hunter finally regains consciousness and the two of them decided on the most logical course of action would be to split up to find Jaina...Jae followed one group of cultist and Hunter followed the other set of cultist. Both were led to a cult base, but the one Jae arrived at was a fake...meant to be a diversion...and just as Jae is finishing the cultist at the fake base Jerek, Jaina and Hunter arrive along with Sieg and Dante....so the whole group is reunited besides Jae needs to help Hunter through her dramatic experience! ;) )
-
OOC: There! Does that answer your question, Kor?
-
((OOC: how could hte have come acrooss 2 seperate groups of cultists at the same time. And if they are at teh fake headquarters they'd be inside and not outside on the street so i' m still confused ))
-
((OOC: as the cultist ran from Jaina's apartment Jae and Hunter followed...the cultist split up, and Hunter and Jae followed suit...not wanting the cultist get away! And just as Jae is finishing fighting the cultist at the fake base everyone else arrives to lend a hand...or a sword!))
-
((OOC: I'm even more confused. One of the dead cultists came back to life, didn't take the chance to kill 2 easy targets, one very injured and unconscious perhaps, the other one distracted. It ran away then split into more then one person? I didn't know they had those sorts of powers. ))
-
((OOC: Dont worry Kor, I'll PM you and make sure to explain everything in detail...so you know what happened...however I would like to continue this story!))
-
(ooc: if you folks want to, I doubt I will ever understand what the [cencored] has been going on since Jae stayed back to deal with Hunter's injuries. It's not like Jae is really needed nor is she really adding anything to the rp. ))
-
OOC: Kor, TGVG is PMing you what happened, hold tight.
-
ooc: ... okay, guy's... I'm about to close this RP due to some sort of situation going on between Raptor, GVGuardian and Kor,,, GVGuardian, I ask that you get on MSN so I can talk to you... this RP will not be reopened until I get an understanding on what the bloody heck is going on here....
-
OOC: Let's put this all behind us.
IC: Jaina:
I shot a cultist who had been sneaking up behind Dante. "Get in the car! There's even more of them coming!" Jerek yelled franticly.
-
Hunter balled her hands into fists and after hearing Jerek tell Dante to get in the car, she forcibly pulled both Dante and Sieg into the car by their tails, all the while with tears streaming down her face.
ooc: I'm gonna wait for Starfall to reply before I post again!
-
"Ow! What gives, Hunter?!" Dante cried indignantly, holding his tail.
"Sorry, Miss Hunter. Should've listened, huh?"
Sieg said, smiling sheepishly...
-
Jerek slammed his foot down on the gas as the doors shut, and sped off. There were still more cultists following. I looked back. "Are you sure you can't go any faster?!" I yelled to him. He grinned, and suddenly, the car lurched forward even faster. The side of my upper jaw made contact with the back of my seat. "Ow!" I said, rubbing my muzzle. I looked back up, and we brust out into the dawn.
Damien Heartwood:
The halved corpse of Damien Heartwood lay next to the altar. Slowly, jerkily, the upper half rose grotesquely. "Are... you free... master....?" He asked, his voice even slower and quieter then before.
"No." Said the voice from everywhere.
"Then... I have failed..." Said Damien Heartwood.
"Yes, but we still have use for you." Said the voice from everywhere.
"You... do?" Said Damien Heartwood.
"Yes. Now return to us, Damien Heartwood, return to us..." Said the voice from everywhere.
There seemed to be a flow of energy, a darkness, to Damien's body. He looked down at it. "Yessss... return to me..." He stood straight, and grasped his scythe, pulling his hood over his muzzle. "This time... I will not fail...."
OOC: Un dun duuuuun!
-
Hunter looked back to the floor even as Sieg and Dante spoke to her and she replied "Yeah...I guess you should have." Her voice was shallow and several more tears fell from her eyes as she finally looked up to meet Siegs eyes,and almost immediately she was beginning to feel a little better.
She then turned her head towards the front of the car and asked Jerek and Jaina "Do you really want to know who that was back there?"
-
Jaina:
"Err... If it's not to hard, Hunter... it could help..." Jerek said. I shot a glare at him, but realized he was right. It could help to know who that was back there... I sighed, and added "You don't have to tell if you really don't want to."
-
Hunter looked over to Sieg once more and a smile appeared on her muzzle as s he felt strength retuning to her...just by looking at Sieg. She sighed and said "Okay....that guy...well thing now...is...was....someone very close to me." Hunter paused as she looked at Sieg and said to him "But not as close as you are." She then continued her story...
"His...his name was....Damien Heartwood...and he was.....m...m...my grandfather!: She shut her eyes after that....and didn't want to speak after that, but she reached over and hugged Sieg...hard holding onto him like a live preserver in a sea.
-
"You grandfather?" I said. I sighed, and looked down at my feet. "I had looked back at one moment... he had fallen in two halves... How did your grandfather die?" Jerek asked. I shot him a glare. "Jerek! This clearly is not the time to ask her something like that!"
-
Sieg looked at Hunter and wrapped his arms around her, comforting her gently...
Dante ahd bees silent for a while, but he finally spoke up...
"Jaina... I'm sorry... I said I would protect you.. but I couldn't. I'm Sorry..."
-
I sighed. Then, quietly, I said "It's alright, Dante. You couldn't have saved me in time. Besides, I'm safe." I looked back. The cultists had broken off. "I'm going to take an alley path." Said Jerek.
-
Hunter blinked several times after hearing Jereks question of how her grandfather had died, and while still hugging Sieg she replied "I really don't know....he said one day when I was still little that he was going to make a difference in the world...I thought he was going to join the marines which is why I did to begin with....but after seeing that....that thing...I'm confused..." Hunter then paused as she finally admitted to herself "...and scared."
She then looked at Sieg in the eyes and whispered into his ear "As soon as this is all over, you and I are starting a family!" and then quickly fell asleep on Sieg's shoulder.
-
Sieg smiled at Hunter, whispering to her...
"Yeah... That'd be nice, Miss Hunter..."
Then he himself fell into a gentle sleep...
Dante, however, wasn't tired. He was sitting there next to Jaina, watching her, then he said...
"Did something happen at that base?"
-
Hunter was dreaming now...about the sun coming over the horizon with Sieg at her side...a bottle of Rootbeer and cheesecake between them. She smiled she smiled as she looked at him wondering to herself 'Why do I always feel safe around you...it's almost a reflex action now so calm and collected....and you know you are...'
A bump made Hunter blink a few times and she remembered where she really was...'Aww...crap!' she then laid her head back down and fell asleep once more..
-
"There was... there was this voice... it was talking to Heartwood..." I shudder at recalling the sound. "It sounded like it came from everywhere...." I hugged myself and shivered again. "It wasn't Saurian...." My voice dropped to a whisper. "Heartwood said.. he needed me for something.. and then the voice came.." I closed my eyes and looked back down at my feet.
-
Hunter now realizing she couldn't get back to sleep quietly sighed to herself and listened to what the others were saying, and she suddenly had a reason to speak up..."That was the same voice that was speaking through Damien...it was the only thing that made realize something was wrong....and it gave me the strength to fight back...just barely."
-
OOC: So everyone knows, there will be a nice big explanation post near the end explaining Damien's plans. Also, Damien is not possesed, nor is he dead, and being controlled. Well, he is dead, but he's not being controlled. He's just, currently, really messed up. No IC post for now, just an update.
-
Hunters eyes then popped open as she screamed "STOP THIS CAR NOW!!!" As the car came to a screeching halt...Hunter sniffed the air several times and said "Yeah...I've got you now!"
-
"What?" I said. "Wait wait wait, I smell something to." Jerek piped up. I looked around. "You're right.. what is that?" I sat up higher, and pulled what was left of the overcoat around me tighter.
-
(ooc: Come on....dont' leave! Trust me the same thing has happened to me on this site severa times....that's why I hate going to bed at night....I may miss something vital to the rp, that involes my char. but then I remember my rule...adapt and enjoy it!)
If this rp is going to continue, this problem right here needs to be addressed by the role play starter (that's you Raptor).
-
OOC: I have been trying to come up with a compromise that will resolve the situation without limiting the number of posts too much. It will be tough, but I'm trying.
-
"Did this voice sound like several?" Dante aske...
"Or Just the one?"
Sieg meanwhile, was happily dreaming of his future life with Hunter...
-
"Well.. it sounded like thousands of voices... all speaking in unison.." I shivered again, and hugged myself tighter. "And Heartwood's voice mixed with its voice for a few moments..."
-
Hunter nodded and whispered "Yeah...that's what made me realize that wasn't the Damien I remember...and it gave me the influence I needed to fight back...but we really need a place to rest for a while...." Then she remembered why they stopped the car...and as fast as a natural bolt of lighting she opened the car door and jumped into the nearest trash can...searching its contents for something...then after a moment she retreated from the garbage can and she shouted with a plate in her left hand...
"AH!!! CHEESECAKE!"
-
I blinked, momentarily shocked by Hunter's... decision to root through the trash. But then, I broke into a wide grin, parted my jaws, and laughed. Jerek joined in laughing . Perhaps that was what we needed, a good laugh.
-
Hunter downed the cheesecake in one bite and threw the plate back in the trash and as she headed towards the car, she could hear the others laughing, and as she stepped in she asked "What...I just really like my cheesecake!"
-
Dante smirked at Hunter for a moment, then became grave as he turned to look at Jaina.
"That voice... That means that the bad feeling I got while I was out was right. Mundus. The demon that my father sealed away, is gaining back power. We may have to fight it..."
Sieg smiled at Hunter as he said...
"Hungry?"
-
Hunter smiled as Sieg asked his question and she quickly replied "No...I just can't turn down cheesecake...it's just too good!" She then whispered in his ear "Just like you." Then her smile faded as she heard what Dante said "Wait...Mundus...I recongize that name...this is very very bad."
-
Jerek sighed. "I remember that." I looked at him, then back at Dante. "I do too. We broke up a smaller cult base a while back, and they mentioned that the Watcher was also known by several differant names, on of them Mundas." I said.
-
Hunter looked over to Sieg and asked "What do we do now...we can't hide in this ally way forever. We need a new safe house." She then thought about someone...and she said "I think I may know someone who can help us!" She pulled a calling card out of her pocket and looked at for a moment and then said "Well this is convenient, she's close by as well!"
-
"Who?" I asked. "Yeah, who's close by?" Jerek asked. "Doesn't matter, I guess, as long as it's safe." I said, shrugging.
-
Hunter sat back in her seat looking at Sieg and said "My old military friend...she was the only other one to make it...and she owes me one, so we need to head to 755 Apple Road." Hunter looked out the window and sighed wondering what had become of her friend after all this time. She then looked to Sieg and smiled...knowing that they would protect each other no matter what.
She then leaned over and gave him a small kiss on his cheek.
-
Dante sat for a moment, thinking, and then said out loud...
"Wait. Apple Road? That's the same road as the Old Man lives on! Tell ya what. I'll meet you guys there!"
Sieg looked back at Hunter, smiling faintly, as he agreed...
"Yeah. Let's go there. I think we could all use some... rest..."
-
Hunter smiled as she whispered in Sieg's ear 'I don't think rest is the first thing on my mind, or yours...'
-
"I know I need some rest." I said wearily. "Being nearly impaled on a massive scythe is a tiring experiance." Jerek snickered at this, but quickly added "Right, some rest. But we should keep an eye out for Cultists.."
-
Sieg shot a sly glance at Hunter as he said in an undertone...
"Right you are, Miss Hunter..."
Dante looked at Jaina, and with great resolve, said...
"Yeah. Don't you worry, Ms. A. I'll keep an eye out for anymore cultists.
-
I looked at Dante, blushed, smiled, and said "Thanks Dante." I lloked to the side, and noticed Jerek breaking into a broad grin. He seemed to be supressing laughter, but only so much could be discerned from a mirror. I sighed, and finally heard Jerek ask "So, where's Apple street?"
-
Hunter then blinked as she heard Jaina's question and said "How do you not know where Apple street is...it's the same street I took you to that diner, that I blew up with a grenade...boy was that a bad idea." She looked over to Sieg and continued speaking. "Well my friends apartment is just around the corner from the diner, or what's left of it. So lets go!"
-
Jerek nodded. "Ohhh, that place. Shouldn't be too hard to find, the Diner's probably still smoking a bit." He said, grinning. I just rolled my eyes and leaned back against the seat.
OOC: The passage of time is up to you guys. Whenever you decide to get to Apple Street is fine by me.
-
Dante smiled, and he ran a hand through his hair, sighing as he said...
"Well, I suppose we should get moving, shouldn't we?"
Sieg nodded in agreement, commenting...
"Well, I suppose we should, but we should be careful... There may be cultists around."
(OOC: Let's get a little bit of a break from all the combat, and focus on the charas.)
-
REDACTED
-
Dante seemed rather distant for a time, but finally he spoke up...
"Uhm... Guys? I have something to tell you all... I'm... not entirely saurian. My father... was a demon. His name was Sparda. He was a demon that rebelled against hell, and he came here, where he met my mom, Eva. That's why I have such strange powers..." He trailed off into silence as he said this...
-
REDACTED
-
Hunter stayed quite as she listened to what Dante was saying and when he was done she sighed and said "That is one amazing story...and I wonder if the my old friend has any connections?" She then looked out the window and said "Hey guys take this next right turn." She then said "I really am going to miss that diner I blew up...they served the best food."
-
Sieg looked at Hunter, sighing at the loss of her favorite resturaunt.
"Yeah... That's too bad. I'd have liked to have gone there with you..."
Dante sighed, looking at Jaina...
"Sorry I didn't tell you sooner. I guess I was afraid of what your responses would be..."
-
REDACTED
-
Hunter was now getting curious as she leaned forward and whispered in her ear...'what do you keep in there?" She then looked to Sieg and blushed she didn't know why she was blushing, but it made her feel better. Hunter then began to think about the various number of things Jaina could keep in that dresser.
-
REDACTED
-
Dante leaned in close to Jerek, whispering conspiratorially...
"So what exactly does she keep in there?"
Sieg was smiling as he thought about his future with Hunter.
"We can be so happy..."
-
REDACTED
-
"Oh...Nothing Important. Just what you keep in the second drawer..."
Dante smirked at Jaina...
-
Hutner who was beginning to nod off to sleep forced her eyes open and as a reflex action reached out and slapped Jerek in the back of his head as she shouted "STOP! We're here!" Hunter looked out the window and her thoughts suddenly wondered over to Sieg and their possible future together.
'I wonder how he'll be in...' Hunter immediately stopped those thoughts as she screamed to herself... 'Now is NOT the time...maybe later...when were alone.' A sly smile came across her face as she looked over to Sieg.
-
REDACTED
-
Hunter said "Yeah...my friend never did like to be all flashy, but she is here! Apartment 5 floor 50, and if nothing has changed then the elevator is still busted, and the stairs are missing the banister and still have that coat of varnish that makes you slip and break your neck."
She then smiled at the thought of the first time she walked up those stairs.
-
Dante smirked at Jaina, and he casually replied...
"Don't worry, Ms. Anderson. I won't tell. Unless you do, that is..."
Sieg smiled at Hunter, and he thought quietly...
"She's so beautiful... and... I wonder how she...WHOA. Not going there right now... but maybe..."
-
REDACTED
-
Hunter smiled as she replied to Jerek's question..."Yep, but that's what makes getting to the 50th floor so much fun!" She then giggled and stepped out of the car and took a deep whiff of the air and gaged on it.
"Uhhh...air quality has died since I was here last as well...ewww. I think I smell rotten fish somewhere!"
-
Jerek:
I looked around the building as I stepped out of the car. "Oh god what's that smell." I looked over and saw a garbage can full of fish. "Oh... well that makes sense."
Jaina:
I stepped out of the car, and was instantly hit with a wave of stench. I covered my mouth and coughed several times. "Hunter, are you sure this is the right place?" I asked, wincing. My eyes were tearing up from the horrible odor.
-
Sieg blinked a couple of times as he stepped out of the car, gathering his wits.
"Ummm... this place seems... nice..."
He said, not wanting to appear rude...
Dante was, however, less subtle.
"Dang! What is that Smell!... This place reeks!
-
Hunter gaged once more on the air and said "Yes...this is the place...ugh...smells so bad though!" She then walked to the front door...and it was locked! "She never leaves this door locked...something is wrong!" Hunter then took it upon herself to go ahead and round-house kick the door in.
As the dust began to settle Hunter cautiously stepped forward into the building expecting the worst...
-
Jerek:
I listened. There was a buzzing of flies. "Okay, you're right. Something really is wrong here."
Jaina:
I looked to the side, and noticed a square of paper pinned to a wall. "Hey, Hunter, look at this. I think it might be a note."
-
Hunter looked over to where the pecie of paper was sitting, and she began to read it:
Dear Hunter,
If you are reading this, then please put your right paw against the red scanner on the wall...if you are anybody besides Hunter....prepare to suck so much lead that when youo hit the ground you go clang!
Love, Tex.
Hunter immediately complied and put her hand against the scanner and it hummed and beeped and then some text rolled across...
Hunter, jump...
At first she was confused and just did as she was told and jumped in place, only to crash trough the floor screaming swear words as she fell down what had to be a slide as she wasn't falling straight down.
-
Sieg saw Hunter start sliding down, and he quickly jumped after her, reaching for his sword. Dante followed soon after, pistols drawn and ready.
-
I sighed, and lept down the slide. Jerek followed soon after.
-
Hunter landed with a large and loud "Ohm!" as she hit the bottom of the slide and looked around, and the very first thing she noticed was the large computers taking up much of the space on the several walls in this place. She then heard a voice call out to her saying...
"Well did you enjoy the slide my old friend?" And at that moment Hunter wanted to strangle whoever that was sitting in the big leather chair at the other end of the room. But she stopped as the chair turned around to reveal a pink female stegosaur wearing a dull grey lab coat and clearly visible were several guns on her belts and around her arms.
"Quite the collection you have here....isn't it...Tex?" The stegosaur nodded and said "Right again! You never could be fooled."
Hunter then jumped out of the way of the slide as she heard others coming down the slide.
-
Sieg slid down next, landing delicately on his feet, hands up in a gesture of good intent.
"Apologies for intruding, M'am, but I was just..."
He was cut off by Dante sliding into him at high speed, knocking him flat...
"Ummm... Yeah, Hi."
Dante smiled as he greeted Tex...
-
Tex giggled at the sight of Sieg being knocked to the floor by Dante, while Hunter on the other hand sighed and walked over to the two still lying on the floor and she extended both her hands as she said "Care to move boys...unless you want to the cushion for whoever else is coming down that slide?"
-
I rose, brushed myself off, and looked around. "Hey... so... why are we here?" Jerek said. "Weapons? Equipment? Information? Some much-needed rest?" I smiled, and shrugged. Who knew why we were here? Well, Hunter did.
-
(Nice to have you back Raptor...I was beginning to miss you!)
Tex smiled at the small group and said "No doubt you've all had a run in with the cultist...and are in need of some rest." She pointed towards several doors behind her as she said "The three doors with the eye holes are your rooms, you five may bunk however you wish...but I implore you...should you partake in any...'dirty dancing' try not to disturb me or anyone else....then again those walls a two inches of solid reinforced steel and soundproofing material....so have fun!"
Hunter smiled at Tex and replied "So how have you been, and care to tell me why you moved from the 50th floor down to the basement....I was hoping to walk up those stairs again!" Tex giggled and said "Well you are welcome to try...if you want..or you and whoever in your group your dating can...uhh...have some private fun." she smirked at her last comment as Hunter looked over at Sieg with a blush and a sly grin on her face.

REDACTED
-
Dante shook his head, looking around before his eyes fixed on Jaina.
"Yeah... A little rest would be... nice..."
A voice from nearby shocked Dante out of his little daydream, as another female stepped out from one of the many shadows in the room...
"Thought you'd never get here, Dante. Took you long enough..."
Sieg was startled as well by a young struthiomimus girl standing near Tex, twirling her handguns easily about her hands.
"Hey Sieg. Glad to see you."
-
Hunter looked confused as she studied the young struthiomimus girl, and then Tex spoke, "This is my new assistant...although her name escapes me at the moment..." She gave the struthiomimus girl a nervous grin. Hunter however looked over to Sieg and Dante and asked "You two know her...cause she seems to know you two pretty well?"
-
"Yeah... who is she?" I said, hastily and slightly angrily. I was confused, seconds later, as to why I had said it so angrily. Was I afraid she'd try to... Jerek asked the Struthiomimus "What is with the rotting fish?" I sighed.
-
Tex smiled and said "Actually the real reason for the rotting fish is an experimental drug...and seeing as how you five are the first to receive the extra strength dose the results will be interesting..."
-
Sieg smiled faintly as he looked at the girl and said to her...
"Hello Arcia. Long time no see."
Dante looked at the woman who had approached him, slightly irritated
"Trish. Didn't think you'd be here."
-
Tex smiled and said "Actually the real reason for the rotting fish is an experimental drug...and seeing as how you five are the first to receive the extra strength dose the results will be interesting..."
"Experimental drug." Jerek said flatly. "What the hell does it do?" I Wasn't to focused on that, though. "Dante, who is she?" I said, in a certain tone of voice i never thought I'd use. "How do you know her?"
-
Dante blinked, slightly worried about Jaina's response to Trish.
"Her name's Trish. She's someone who occasionally helps me out as a Hunter. Don't worry. I don't know her like that. "
Sieg looke at Tex, commenting...
"Agreed. What does this... drug... do?"
-
I sighed with slight relief, but still folded my arms with extremely sligh suspicion. When I noticed talk about some sort of drug, I turned around. Jerek looked slightly hysterical. "What kind of drug is it? I don't want to pass out on the floor or something!" He shouted. I blinked. I had begun to feel slightly light-headed.. but I thought it was just because I was tired.
-
Arcia smirked, then she began to laugh...
"Don't worry. It's not a knockout drug. You'll see what it does soon..."
Trish looked at Jaina, a smug smirk crossing her face.
"Why're you so concerned? You his girlfriend or something?"
-
REDACTED
-
Dante looke at Jaina, but he turned back to Trish, sternly declaring...
"Trish. That's enough. If you came here for a reason, get to it. I don't have time to waste."
Trish sighed, and replied to him...
"Well, since Mundus is awakening again, I thought that some... nostalgic gear would help. Here."
She tossed him a red bundle, turned on her heel, and left.
-
"Dante... what is that?" I asked, folding my arms over my chest. Jerek still seemed worried about the drug.
-
Dante looked at the bundle, unrolled the red cloth, and out fell a great two-handed sword with a skull at it's guard, as well as a red coat.
"Hey! This is my old hunter gear! Good to have this back."
He then looked at Jaina, smiled, and said...
"Don't worry. I still like you best, Ms. A"
-
I smiled, and blushed slightly. "Seriously though, when does this drug take effect? What the hell does it do?" Jerek said, the tone of his voice definatly worried. "If it does anything to my sister, you're going to be in a whole lot of pain." I felt kinda good that Jerek was concerned about me again. I turned back to Dante, and replied "I know... I just.. got a little defensive..."
-
Dante smiled at Jaina, and he said
"Let's go get some rest, eh, Ms. A?"
Sieg nodded, his eyes turning to Hunter, as he said
"Agreed. Some rest... sounds exceptionally nice."
-
Hunter smiled and said "If I know you Tex...it's probably some kind of sex drug or something..." then Hunter realized something "Oh....it is some sort of sex drug isn't it?" Tex simply smiled and said "Yeah...if you happen to have a crush...or be dating...then this is your lucky night..."
Hunters' only response was..."This is why I hate you...you are such a blackmailer!" Hunter then began to feel light headed...and just happened to look over at Sieg as the drug started to take effect, and Tex pointed towards the several doors and said "Well nows your only chance if you want some privacy...cause you have about thirty seconds before...well. you'll see..."
-
REDACTED
-
Hunter was opening one of the doors that lead to a bed room as she turned around and said "This is why I stopped being her assistant, she was always forcing me to taste test her latest sex drug....and then she'd try to blackmail me with tapes."
-
REDACTED
-
Hunter grinned and said "Ya know...I've never really tried to think about it...Why do you make nothing but sex drugs Tex?"
Tex smiled and said "Simply because seeing peoples reaction to the drug and then blackmailing them is fun work!" Hunter rubbed her head and said "Yeah...always with the blackmailing huh?"
"Yep." was Tex only reply.
-
Jerek:
"What exactly is in this stuff, anyways? An aphrodisiac?" I said. I began thinking that, since I didn't have a date, I wouldn't have any bizzare situations. I noticed that Jaina had ran into one of the rooms, and shut the door. "Alright... crap, I'm starting to feel slightly light-headed..."
-
Hunter looked over to Sieg and gave him a seductive look and just winked at him and walked into the room...
-
Sieg smiled faintly, and he followed Hunter into the room, eagerly...
Dante too, blushed, then ran after Jaina...
-
Tex smiled and looked at Jerek and said "You've been affected too, you may want to choose a room, and just do what comes natrual."
Hunter on the other hand had removed most of her upper clothing and was just sitting on the edge of the bed waiting for Sieg to make the first move.
(Don't worry Starfall, Raptor and I have a system set up...If you want specifics PM Raptor...he'll do the explination far more justice! :D )
-
Jerek:
I blinked nervously. "I don't feel anything..." Then, I fell to his knees and vomited. Coughing, I wiped my jaws and asked, still coughing "Was there any sort of herbs or something in the mixture?" I said, holding down more vomit.
-
Tex frowned at Jerek's reaction as she answered his question. "Well I've been trying to stray away from using any real herbs, but for some reason the Night Life potion won't work without an organic herb, I have the antidote, here drink this and hurry!" Tex then handed a blue bottle to Jerek and motioned for him to drink...
-
"Th...aaaanks..." I managed to gurgle through drinking the formula. "I'm really allergic to certain herbs. They're pretty rare, though, so I don't usually come into contact with them. Ugh... that stuff tasted awful.." I winced, and wiped my mouth again.
-
Yeah...again they'd taste better if I didn't need to use real herbs, Tex turned to face the doors that held everyone else and listened for a moment before saying "Well, I don't hear anything, I guess it's working...Oh crap..."
-
"What?!" I said, instantly concerned about my sister's wellbeing. "Is something wrong?"
-
Tex heard the concern in Jerek's voice and she immediately said "Don't worry your sister and the others are fine...the computer just froze up...uhh...I hate rebooting this thing it takes like forever to come back on...and that's if I'm lucky!" She began pushing several buttons and when nothing else worked she sighed, stood up out of the chair and pulled out the main power plug.
"That should do it..." said Tex as the entire basement went dark from the loss of power. She then tossed jerek a pair of night vision goggles and said "Even after I put this plug back in it may take a while for the computer to come back on...so now we wait!"
-
REDACTED
-
Tex frowned at Jereks question as she replied "The last subject....uhhh...died." She didn't want to sugar coat it, but it was the truth, but then she added "Don't worry though...I found what caused it and changed the formula, although before the last subject expired she went on for about ten hours straight without a break....which may have been what did her in."
-
My hand flew to my pistol, and grabbed the hilt. "You BETTER have changed it, or I will blow your ******* brains out the side of your head!" My hands were trembling. I blinked, sighed, and took my hand away from my pistol. "Who was she, this girl who you made take this drug? Who was she?"
-
First Tex was shocked to see Jerek's reaction, but sighed as she said "First of all I did change the formula, they should only be in there for about an hour at the most." A tear then slid down her face as she replied "The other test subject was....my.....sister...my baby sister..."
Tex then bent over and vomited on the floor herself...she then grabbed a cloth and wiped her mouth with it. She then quietly but visibly sobbed and cried her eyes out at the memory...
-
My eyes widened. I hadn't realized... I was so used to persecuting those who killed for no reason.. "I'm.. sorry for you lose..." I said quietly. "But why did you use it on her? I'll understand.. if you don't want to talk about it..." I extended a hand to help Tex up.
-
Tex looked up and took Jereks hand, and she sighed as she said "No...I want to talk about it...it..it's been far too long...I want this pressure off my chest. If you're willing to listen..."
-
"I'll listen.... don't worry..." I said quitely. For some reason, I began to think of my father's death... but I didn't truely know why...
-
Tex nodded and said "Thank you...it started like this, she and I were trying to create the ultimate sex potion and sell it to make a fortune...but all of our friends wanted nothing to do with it, so for the first fifty test we tested it on our selfs...but while trying to refine the product, my sister tried to combine two different formulas, and...while it seemed to work at first...I became worried when she didn't stop...so...I canceled the experiment, but my little sis locked the door and I....all...I could do....was watch.....it....it tore me up inside.....and it still does..."
-
When I heard of great tragedy, I always tried to make a joke. I always hoped it would make someone feel better. But I couldn't think of a joke. "I'm so sorry, Tex, I really, and truely am." I said, staring down at the ground.
-
Tex gave a small smile and said "Thanks...I just need someone...to...help..." she then looked up to Jerek and said "Maybe comfort...me."
-
I patted Tex on the back. "I'll be here all night, so-" Just then, and odd noise cut through everything else. I knew is couldn't have been... the stuff happening in the other rooms, because that normally doesn't sound like shattering glass.
OOC: It's a certain ancient, scythe-wielding, hooded guy we all know.
-
(I'm going to wait for Starfall to respond...)
-
OOC: Me too.. if he doesn't respond by tomarrow night, we have to PM him.
-
Sieg had been passionately kissing Hunter, quickly removing his jacket as he did so. Somehow, his hands instinctively found Hunter, and he began caressing her, savoring the softness of her skin. He was eager to continue, and he began to move his hands higher...
Dante had joined Jaina in the room where she was, stripping off his jacket and shirt as he did so...
-
Hunter could feel Sieg's hands caressing her body, and in truth...she would swear she could hear her heartbeat in her ears. She was in heaven and honestly she was too busy enjoying Sieg's company to care what else may be happening as she ran her hands across his body as well...
Meanwhile Tex had drawn her personal sawed off shotgun from behind her chair and said to Jerek "We may need to keep whoever that is out of those rooms until the potion wears off!"
-
Jerek:
I swung both my pistols up. I could hear whoever it was moving through the shards of broken glass. Then, the was a horrid sawing sound. The cieling broke, and a cloaked figure fell through the hole. "Hello... Jerek Anderson..." Damien Heartwood said. I stared in shock. "But.. but you're dead... I saw you in two halves." Damien's face and muzzle were hidden, but I could tell he was grinning. "I am... you can't kill... what is already dead..."
-
Tex looked stunned and raised the shotgun in Damien's direction and said "Don't move, or, you'll be dead again, and again!"
Hunter was smiling and kissing Sieg at the same time...which was harder than it looked. But she managed anyhow. She then whispered in his ear "I love you, and I'm glad we met."
-
"Hahahaha....." Heartwood laughed, softly. "You can't kill me... no more then you could kill time.... or air... or water... or death...." Heartwood raised his scythe. I dove forwards and knocked Tex out of the way, as Heartwood's scytheblade came to strike where she had just been standing.
OOC: Shooting Heartwood, no matter where it is, will just make him stagger a bit.
-
Tex gave a sheepish smile as she said "Thanks Jerek...I owe you one!" she then turned her gun on Damien and fired off a shot, making him stagger backwards, and still Tex smiled as she cocked the shotgun once again...ready for another shot...hoping this Damien guy wouldn't get another swing with that scythe of his.
-
Damien simply clenched his fist. "Hah, is that all you can-" Tex's shotgun compressed into a bent, mettallic ball. I tossed her one of my pistols. "Looks like that does do something." I said, shooting Heartwood in the chest. He simply laughed and took a step forward. Heartwood's scythe glinted malevolently. "And now.. it is time for all your deaths... and my master's release...."
-
"Somehow...someway...I'm going to blame Hunter for this!" said Tex aloud as she aimed the pistol Jerek gave her, at Damien's head and fired, but realizing that the bullet did nothing, she decided the next best course of action was to get that scythe out of Damien's hands, and she fired the remaining pistol shots at the scythe hoping to knock it from Heartwoods grasp.
-
Arcia had joined in the fight, both pistols roaring with fire as she sent two special bullets flying at Damien, then rolled to avoid a counter attack...
"I'm glad... I met you too, Miss Hunter..."
Sieg whispered back, caressing her, letting his hands gradually move lower...
Dante smirked, looking Jaina over...
"Heh. I love a fast woman, Ms. A."
As he walked over to her, placing a kiss on her cheek...
-
The bullets struck the cold steel of Heartwood's blade. "I know... what those bullets do... and while I cannot die... I will not be shot again..." He said. I stuck my tounge out at him, and shot him. He spun his scythe and deflected the bullet with ease. "Alright... ****. What are we going to do now?" I said, backing away as Heartwood advanced further.
-
Arcia thought, looked at the other two with her, then decided on a potentially suicidal idea. She lunged forwards, grappling Damien's scythe, attempting to wrest it from his grasp...
-
Tex saw the move Arcia was trying to pull, and almost immediately dropped the pistol and joined her in trying to wrestle the scythe out of Heartwoods hands! 'This is crazy, one wrong swing and we both die...but protecting everyone else is kinda worth it!' Tex said to herself with a grin.
-
Arcia finally had an Idea, and she spun around, sweeping her leg towards Heartwood's attempting to trip him...
-
Hunter was lost to her senses, she could feel everything around her...but the one thing she knew she felt stronger than anything was her love for Sieg, and at that very moment she wanted to spend the rest of her days with him by her side.
-
I grabbed Heartwood from behind. The cloaked figure did not not react for a few moments, and then, flung his arms out. Simultaneously, we were all flung back. Heartwood looked over to the doors. "And now... I seal their fate... and unleash the Watcher..." He started towards the doors, but I charged him, and just managed to knock him into a nearby closet. I shut and locked the door. "Yeah, you can't do that, you bastard." I said. There was no sounds from the closet, which unnerved me. I opened the door, prepared to shoot him if the need be, but he was gone.
OOC: Heartwood s gone, so he won't be coming back untill the final conflict... which will be in seven pages.
-
Sieg, too was lost to everything but Hunter's body pressed up against him. All he wanted was to stay there forever...
Arcia stood up, blinking, as she said out loud...
"Ok... That was wierd... who was that? and why was he after us?"
-
Tex rubbed her head as she stood up, wondering what had just happened as she looked over and notice Jerek standing in front of an empty closet. The saurian picked herself up and just as she did the computer returned to life casting a blue glow throughout the room...and blinding Tex for a moment as she still had her goggles on...
"AHHH! S*** that hurts!" She blinked several times and then when her eyesight cleared she looked at the watch on her arm and laughed out loud as she said "Hey, guess what...you are never going to believe this Jerek..."
-
I sighed. "That was Damien Heartwood. He's the leader of a cult that's trying to ressurect something called the Watcher. He nearly killed my sister, and for some reason thinks she's a key of some sort." I said. I sighed again, and asked Tex "What is it?"
-
Tex laughed and laughed hard as she replied "The potion wore off about thirty seconds ago...so if they stay in there any longer....well....that's really all on them...YES, the cameras are finally working time for some blackmail!" Tex then began to work the camera angles to get the best shots...
-
Sieg had noticed that his thoughts had cleared somewhat, but he didn't care at all. He was in heaven, and he didn't want to leave...
Dante noticed this too, but he also declined to comment. He was enjoying this too much...
-
Hunter was finally able to think abit more clearly...but she was still staring into Sieg's eyes and she didn't want to move at all...she just smiled and kissed him on the cheek.
______________
Tex meanwhile was having a feild day with the cameras finally working...she could finally have true blackmailing footage of Hunter, and her new friends... "Jerek I don't know about you but this is the second best day of my life!"
-
Arcia cracked up as well, actually falling over from laughing so hard...
"Oh, if this is the second best day of your life, then I gotta hear the best day!"
-
Tex turned the chair around and smiled as she said "The best day of my life...honestly had to be the day I met Hunter...and beat the her senseless...with my favorite CD cover!"
-
Arcia laughed even harder at this, laughing so hard that she couldn't breathe for a while.
"That must've been PRICELESS!"
She guffawed...
-
Tex grinned and muttered to herself "I've gotta get an automatic floor clearner when I get the chance!" She then sighed and using a mop and a bucket to clean up the goo. She then looked at the doors containing her friends and said "I wonder how much longer they'll be in there?"
~~~~~
Hunter was lying next to Sieg and was simply trying to breath and not laugh....this was the greatest night of her life, and it made her giddy with laughter. She continued to giggle as she looked at Sieg and gave him another kiss on the cheek.
-
Arcia looked at the doors as well, and she seemed to think about it for a moment.
"Who knows? I really don't care..."
____________________________________________________________________
Sieg lay next to Hunter, and when she kissed him on the cheek, he leaned over, placing his lips fully against hers....
____________________________________________________________________
Delacroix was pacing the halls of the central chamber of the cult's base, anxiously awaiting his master's return.
When Damien appeared, Delacroix knelt before him, bowing his head and asking...
"My lord, what news of your mission? Are you well?"
-
OOC: Damien was Raptor's character right?
___________________
Tex shrugged her shoulders and walked over to the far wall and asked Jerek and Arcia "Would either of you like some coffee or tea. We may be here a while."
_____________________
Hunter kissed Sieg back with more passion then she thought she had left in her body...she was tired, but wanted to speak with Tex, so as the two sets of lips parted she whispered to Sieg "Let's get dressed and get some food...I'm hungry!
-
(OOC: Yep.)
Sieg nodded, standing up to grab his scattered items of clothing.
"Yeah, that sounds... like a good idea, Miss Hunter..."
He said, smiling at her...
____________________________________________________________________
Arcia looked back at Tex, then nodded
"Tea would be nice..."
-
Damien sat back. "It was... unsucessful. I was forced.... to abort... at the last moment..."
-
"Ah. I apologize, my lord. If I had been there, I could have aided you. I'm sorry..."
Delacroix bowed his head, apologizing to his master...
____________________________________________________________________
Arcia noticed Jerek's sigh, walked over to him, and whispered in his ear...
"If you're looking for the disks, then I suppose I could help you..."
-
Tex gave a wry smile as she spoke up "Yeah I know you guys are going to try and find the CD's I use..but do I have a surprise for you two." She then pushed several buttons and said "Yeah right after you became my assistant Arcia I decided to start uploading directly to the internet but I also added a security feature...so don't worry if anyone even wants to click on the link to these live feeds it has to go through me!"
___________
At that moment Hunter stepped out of the room clad in a pink velvet robe smiling as she said "Tex...you are in so much trouble...after I get my tea of course."
-
"Uh-Oh. Miss Hunter's mad at you guys, isn't she?" Sieg said, follosing Hunter out of the room, wearing his usual outfit...
-
Tex grinned and said "Aww...little Hunter is upset...Too bad, you fell for my trap and it worked...so HA!" Hunter however just scowled at her old friend and walked over to a tea kettle sitting on an already lit burner, she then turned to Tex and said
"Thanks for the tea, but you know you're still in trouble right?" Tex just continued to grin and said "Yeah...I know."
-
Sieg walked over to the kettle, and as he passed Arcia, he whispered...
"Any way you can help out with that?"
Arcia looked at him, shook her head, and replied...
"Sorry. She's got us outwitted."
Sieg blinked twice, but then proceeded to grab a cup of tea and seated himself next to Hunter.
-
Hunter smiled as Sieg sat next to her and said "Hey Tex, if I find out you recorded anything in those rooms, I'll make you pay." Tex just pushed several more buttons on the computer console. Suddenly she spoke up and said "Ya know I laced the tea too."
Hunters face showed a heavy scowl as she replied "You are so going to die for this. So what's in the tea this time?" Tex just grinned and said "Now now Hunter, if you have to ask...you'll never know! And wheres the fun in just telling you?"
"Well then do I have a surprise for you too Tex!" said Hunter as she stood up. She pulled a thin piece of paper out of one of the robe pockets and said "Ya...I know now...so this is how blackmail feels...it's fun!"
"Oh crap." was all Tex could mutter as she looked at what Hunter had in her hands.
-
Sieg laughed out loud, his eyes lighting up as he did so.
"Arcia... What did she put in the tea?"
Then he looked at Hunter, asking...
"What is that? Whatever it is, it must be good if Tex is actually reacting to it..."
-
Hunter smiled at Sieg's question and said "This is a pregnancy test..." She then smiled and said In a sing song voice "And it's posssitive! Some one's having a baby!"
Tex immediately blushed and said "Yeah...so what if I am! Not like you weren't trying in that bedroom a few moments ago!" And now it was Hunters turn to blush as she looked at Sieg and gave him a small smile.
-
Sieg smiled at Hunter, though he was also blushing bright crimson, and then turned his attention to Tex...
"So... Who's the father?" he asked, raising one eyebrow as he looked at her...
Arcia laughed, looking first at Sieg and Hunter, then at Tex, then said...
"Sorry Sieg, but I don't think I'm at liberty to tell you the contents of the tea. Unless Tex wants me to, that is... Oh, and speaking of Tex..." She turned and looked at her employer...
"Why didn't you tell me you were pregnant?"
____________________________________________________________________
In the cultist base, Delacroix was agiatatedly walking towards the common hall, where he found Killer and Virgil waiting.
"Our master has failed to retrieve the key. Let's move, and we'll bring it to him..."
-
Tex first said "It's okay Arcia, I'll tell them what's in the tea...it's a truth serum...and I was only going to dose Hunter with it, but seeing as how Sieg took some too, it looks like we'll get some interesting results." But upon Arcia's next question, she blushed bright red again and said "Well...it was before you joined my team...and...the...father...is..."
Hunter grinned as she thought about who it might be...and then a thought crossed her mind as she shouted "YOU DIDN"T! NOT HIM!" Tex just looked at the floor, and then after several moments of silence looked back up to the others and said
"Yes...Hunter I did...the father of my child...is Killer!"
OOC: Bet you didn't see that coming! :lol
-
Arcia looked puzzled as she looked from Tex to Hunter and back again.
"Who's this Killer guy?" She asked them...
Sieg looked at Hunter, and he turned his attention to Tex as he asked the pair of them...
"So, does this mean that Killer wasn't always evil and psycho?"
-
REDACTED
-
Hunter was now torn between comforting Tex, and ringing her sorry little neck! Hunter's breathing was slowing down almost as if she were just finishing a tough work out. Her fist clenched and she stood up and didn't move.
Tex on the other hand looked ashamed of herself, and decided to answer Seig's question "No...he was always crazy and pyschotic, but one night when he had been contracted to kill me I slipped him a pacifier drug, and it worked, but then things went just a bit too far."
Before she knew it Hunter was standing before her, and she tired to make herself as small as possible as Hunter raised her fist. Tex awaited the strike, but it never came....instead she felt Hunter hugging her...and to her suprise...crying!
Tex looked over at everyone else and was waiting for them to say something.
-
Dante joined everyone, wearing a new black shirt under a red vest, with his red coat slung over his shoulder.
"So...Killer, huh? Wonder how that'll work out..."
Dante said, thoughtful for a moment...
"Tex... Ummmm... If you ever need any help, I'd be happy to do what I could...
Arcia said, patting her employer on the back,
"And...If Miss Hunter's willing to, we will too..."
Sieg added, wrapping an arm around Hunter and smiling boradly...
"Which I think she would be..."
Dante quipped calmly...
-
Tex smiled as she realized that everyone here was going to help her no matter what. She then looked to Hunter and asked "What about you..."
Hunter however smiled and said "Well you know majority rules, so we help you any way you can...which means you'll have to come with us when we leave." Tex smiled and said "If that's true then you may want to change your clothes so the enemy can't uhhh..."
Hunter blushed and said "Okay I'll go change." And she walked into the room she and Sieg had been sharing, and after several moments she came out wearing a pair of black leather jeans a velvet red tank top, and a leather jacket to match.
Tex was impressed as she replied "So, you found my stash of leather clothing huh?" Hunter nodded and said "Oh yeah!"
-
Sieg cast an appraising eye over Hunter, smiled, and said...
"You look nice, Miss Hunter."
Arcia nodded, grabbed a coat from the wall, and said...
"Well, are we just gonna sit here and wait to be attacked again, or are we gonna move to another location?"
-
Tex smiled and said "That sounds like a good idea...now if you will excuse me...I'm going to change." Said Tex as she stood up, and took off her lab coat revealing a a pair of blue jean pants, and a matching violet shrit and she smiled as she pulled a 9 mm pistol and said "Let's go!"
-
Dante smirked, slung his coat on, laughed, and said...
"Sweet! We can hit up my place, I think. It's not too far, and I think I'll have room for all of us. Heads up though, NOBODY touches the Strawberry Sundaes I keep in the freezer, dig?"
-
"Alright, I'm up for that." I said.
Jaina:
I nodded with a slight smile. Jerek nearly said something, but I shot him a quick glare. "So, which way to your house?"
-
Dante thought for a moment, then pointed to the north.
"Let's see...It's that way. There is one problem, though. How do we get out of here?"
Sieg looked at him, then replied...
"Um...Yeah. Tex? How do we leave here?"
-
Tex sighed and said "Well there is only one way out of here...actually there are two, but the second one is a little on the risky side...but if it works...emphasis on if we can get to your house without a problem Dante."
Hunter smiled and said "I know I'm not going to like what you're about to tell us."
Tex smiled and said "Well who's up for some experimental teleportation?"
-
"Um...I like the sound of the first option. I think. Is it safer than the teleporter?"
Dante asked, looking at Tex with a faint smirk...
"Can anything ever be simple with you, Tex?"
Sieg added, raising an eye ridge...
-
Tex smiled and replied "no..not really. The bigger the better I always say!"
Hunter smiled and said "Wow...Tex...just answer me this..if we do use the teleport...will we at least arrive with all our organs and limbs intact?"
Tex just stood up and pushed a button and said "Let's hope you're right!"
Hunter then disappeared in a flash of white light. Text then said "Gods speed."
-
"<Sigh> I'll go next. Here goes nothing. Ready, Tex!"
Dante yelled, shutting his eyes as the light enveloped him...
"My turn. Here goes. Let's go!"
Sieg, too shut his eyes as he vanished...
-
"As much fun as this is...I'm starting to get worried..." said Tex as she waited for Jerek and Jaina to say they were ready for transport.
~~~~
For a moment Hunter couldn't tell which way was up or down...that was until Dante landed next to her and Sieg landed on her rear. "Ow." was the first word she was able to mutter. She then blinked and asked "Who ever is sitting on my tail, please stand up..."then a question formed across her mind as she asked "Is that shag carpet I'm feeling?"
-
"Mmm? Oh, sorry Miss Hunter!"
Sieg said, rising quickly to his feet and offering a hand to Hunter...
"Yeah. That's the shag carpet alright. We're in my place. That actually didn't work half bad, you know?"
Dante asked, rising to his feet and looking around before saying...
"Welcome to Dragon's Tears. My shop."
-
Hunter smiled and took Siegs hand. She then looked down and frowned as she said "My pants are on backwards...and..." She then blushed as she replied "so...is my bra...this is embarrassing."
-
"Yeah. My boots are on the wrong feet, and...my belt's on backwards. At least we're intact, right Miss Hunter?"
He then blushed, and said...
"Need any help with the backwards articles?"
Dante looked around, then calmly stated...
"Hmmmm... My shirt's on backwards. So that was a little bit of a side effect. No biggie, right?"
He said, wondering where Jaina was...
-
Hunter stood up...blushing at Sieg's remark. She was nodding her head in response when she felt something on the end of her tail. She picked off whatever it was, and held it in front of her face to get a better look...and only caused herself to blush a deeper shade of red as she realized what she was looking at...
She then stuffed the item into her pocket and turned to ask Dante "Which way is the bathroom...I gotta fix this backwards issue of mine, and quick!"
-
REDACTED
-
Tex was the last one to step through the portal and smiled as she said "Well...it seems the portal only likes me...I came through with all my clothes on right, and...oh crap."
-
Dante smirked, then pointed behind himself with his thumb.
"Bathroom's back there. Make sure that the door shuts, 'cause sometimes it swings open, and you'd end up giving us quite a view."
He grinned.
Sieg blushed, whispering to Hunter...
"We'll both go fix the problem. I need to get my pants back on the right way, too."
Dante then walked over to his desk, swinging himself into his chair and asked...
"So. Tex. What was the 'oh crap' about?"
He said, tossing his jacket onto a nearby coathanger and starting to remove his shirt, so that he could put it back on the right way...
-
Hunter smiled and said "Y-yeah...that sounds good Sieg. I'll be sure to keep the door closed...don't worry about that." She then turned to walk to the bathroom and smiled at Tex as she whispered "You got lucky...that we all came through in one piece...don't do that again!"
Tex chuckled and replied "Deal Hunter." She then looked to Dante as he asked his question and said in response "Yeah....apparently when I came through the portal...the energy turned the controller into a bag full of cheeseburgers, french fries, and at least twenty different milkshakes..." She looked up and said "At least five of them are strawberry...if you want one."
-
"Right. Come on then, Miss Hunter..."
Sieg said, heading towards the door that Dante had indicated...
"Strawberry? Sure thing, Tex. I'll take one."
Dante said, walking over to Tex, still without his shirt, and grabbed one of the shakes.
-
Hunter smiled and walked behind Sieg and entered the bathroom. After letting Sieg in she closed the door tightly and leaned against it. She then blushed and said "Well...should we get started?"
Tex however was having a hard time as well as she felt her face flush with color. She head Dante say he wanted a shake, but she couldn't take her eyes off his chest. 'hand him the shake stupid' her subconscious seemed to scream and it worked.
Tex blinked and still blushing pulled out a strawberry shake and handed it to Dante with a smile.
-
Dante smirked at Tex's reaction, but simply accepted the shake, saying...
"Hey thanks, Tex. I mean it. And if anybody wants to get some sleep, the rooms are down that hall to the left. I've got two beds with enough room for two each, and there's the sofa in here. I can sleep at the desk." He concluded, checking things off with his fingers...
Sieg, meanwhile, was standing in the bathroom with Hunter, blushing as he asked...
"So...Miss Hunter...Who goes first? You or me?"
He said, an embarrassed grin on his face...
-
Hunters entire face felt warm, but she managed to stutter out "W-well...I guess I'll...go first...this bra is killing me." She then reached inside her top and popped the bra strap and sighed as she said "now that's better..." She then blushed as the loose clothing fell to the floor and she blushed when she realized she couldn't reach her backside.
She looked to the floor and asked Dante "C-could...you unbuckle...my pants for me?"
Tex smiled and said "Well, a bed does sound nice, but after all those years in the apartment I've grown fond of sitting up while I sleep..I'll just take the couch."
-
Sieg smiled a little as he reached over to Hunter, his fingers deftly undoing the buckle.
"There we are, Miss Hunter. Um...Could you get that button on the back of my pants, please? I can't quite reach it..."
He said, smiling sheepishly at Hunter...
Dante, meanwhile, was grinning at Jaina and Jerek, asking...
"So, you two sharing a bed, or sleeping separately?"
Then he turned towards the bathroom door, asking, more to himself than anyone...
"Wonder what's taking them so long?"
-
Hunter couldn't help but smile at Sieg's request and she did just as he asked...it was rather quick as she only remembered reaching around his waist and pulling backwards. She smiled and said "Well...that's done...now what?"
Tex walked up next to Dante and whispered "I don't know, but I'd love some more blackmail material on Hunter."
-
REDACTED
-
Dante laughed.
"Hey, just kidding Jaina. I know you, right?"
Sieg looked at Hunter, as he pulled his pants back on the right way, and he smiled...
"Well, are you ready to go out there again, Miss Hunter?"
-
Hunter nodded her head and said "Yep, let's go! I'm getting hungry." Her stomach agrred with her as ti rumbled in response.
Tex said "Well I don't know what those two in there are up to but I'm going to find out!" She then reached for the door handle and yanked the door open and shouted "GOT YOU!"
-
Sieg looked up casually, smirking at Tex
"Got us what?"
He laughed...
-
Tex groaned and said "Ugh..nothing...You guys hungry? I've got-"
Tex never got to finish that sentence as Hunter all but ran her over and dragging Tex with her over to the couch where she'd left the bag of food. Hunter not bothering to sit down took out three burgers and downed them all in a single bite!
Tex smiled and said to Sieg and Dante "Nothing comes between Hunter and her food."
-
Sieg smiled at Tex, nodding.
"Yeah. I've kind of noticed that. After all, she was still able to eat during a battle."
He said, laughing slightly...
Dante was, meanwhile sitting at his desk, feet propped up, and enjoying his shake.
"Well, the food's good, after all. You should really try some, guys."
He said, taking another slurp of his shake...
-
Tex smiled and said "Yeah sure..." She walked over to where Hunter sat and said "Now Hunter I would like some food too...and a shake...so I'm only going to say this once...get out of the way."
Hunters response was of course to scream "NO!!! IT'S ALL MINE!!!"
Tex sighed and replied "And you wonder why I never buy you food..."
-
Sieg smiled at Hunter, asking...
"You really won't share? Not even with me?"
He said, sighing faintly...
-
At hearing Sieg's question Hunter frowned, then smiled and said "Yes I'll share...on one condition...Dante which bedroom is bigger? Sieg and I have an eating contest to begin!"
-
Dante grinned, then said...
"The first door on the left's probably the bigger of the two rooms. And an eating contest? This I gotta see!"
He concluded, laughing...
Sieg, meanwhile, was able to stammer...
"A-an eating contest? Oh boy..."
-
Hunter smiled wildly as she said "Oh no Dante...this contest is private...Don't worry, you'll know who wins in the end...trust me!"
Tex smiled too...she wanted a chance to blackmail Hunter, but her plans quickly changed as she set a hand against her stomach and she felt dizzy and sat down saying "Uhhh...I'm really tired...Dante, do you have anything to settle an upset stomach?"
-
Sieg looked around for a moment before asking...
"Umm...You're not letting me get out of this, are you, Miss Hunter?"
He said nervously...
Dante, meanwhile, had heard Tex ask, and he got up to look in the medicine cabinet.
After a moment, he turned around and tossed a bottle of Pepto-Bismol towards her, saying...
"There ya go. That should help, right?"
-
Hunter continued to smile and said "Nope...not a chance!" She then walked over to the door Dante had mentioned and opened it. SHe liked what she saw. She stepped in and set the food down for a moment before feeling the fabric of the bed...silk covers..."Very nice." she said.
Tex meanwhile caught the bottle and said facing Dante "I hope so...of course if an hour goes by and nothing has changed then we may have a problem....I hope for once I'm wrong."
-
Sieg looked around the room, smiling as he said...
"Alright Hunter. So... you really are challenging me to an eating contest?"
Dante, meanwhile, was laughing.
"Tex. If that doesn't work, then do me a favor. Stay near the bathroom!"
He said, grinning broadly...
-
Hunter smiled back and replied "Oh yes...now are you ready? I'm the champion around this town...most notably for downing several entire cheesecakes in under two minutes!"
Tex at that moment had a sour look on her face as she stood up and ran towards the bathroom saying in a rush "that's not a bad idea!" A moment later the sound of guffawing could be heard... and after a moment it stopped and Tex said...
"Yeah...I think we have a problem!"
-
Sieg smirked at Hunter's confidence
"Your holding the record as far as cheesecake is concerned doesn't really surprise me. So, are we going to get started?"
Dante, meanwhile, looked at Tex.
"Problem? Besides you barfing your guts out?"
He said...
-
Hunter smiled and tossed Sieg a burger and said "It. Starts. NOW!" And started scarfing down two burgers at a time. 'Poor Seig dosen't stand a chance!' thought Hunter with a smile.
~~~~
Tex on the other hand was lucky she'd made it to the bathroom as she replied in a stranned voice "I...really need....help..." she could then see blood along with everything else coming out of her stomach.
She then squealed to Dante "P-please...help...me!" She was scared and wasn't afraid to admit it!
-
Sieg looked over at Hunter, four cheeseburgers stuffed into his mouth.
"Ready to lose, Miss Hunter?"
He asked, barely understandable around the food in his mouth...
Dante, however, had more pressing things on his mind.
"Oh. Crap! Are you OK, Tex? Why is this... Sonofa! I...what should I do?..."
Dante cried, sinking to his knees...
-
Hunter smiled and said "Not yet...I don't plan on losing!" However her mouth was full of six more burgers and her voice was clearly muffled.
~~~~
Tex meanwhile was crying as she finally stopped throwing up....she was crying as she said "D-dante...call the...hospital....h-hurry! P-please!" She slipped down onto the floor and continued to cry.
-
Dante was galvanized into action when he heard Tex's voice. He raced to the phone on his desk, dialing the number with shaking hands...
"H-Hello? 911? This is Dante S. Starfall, at 2100 Maple Lane. We have an emergency here. Send help as quickly as you can!"
He then went over to Tex, placing his arm around her, whispering gently...
"It'll be OK, Tex. Just...Stay calm..."
Sieg simply responded to Hunter by grabbing more food and consuming it as fast as he could...
-
Staying calm was not something Tex was able to do right now. She was gasping for air, and shaking almost to the point of going into convulsions. She then stuttered out "D-d-dante...d-don't...le-leave me....p-please. I-I love you..."
~~~~
Hunter on the other hand was doing well until she dropped a burger and started to cough. It only got worse, as her coughing became louder and harder to do. 'Oh crap...this sucks...' thought Hunter to herself, hoping Sieg would sense there was a problem.
-
Dante tried his best to restrain his shaking, but found himself failing miserably at that goal.
Crap....This is...NO! I won't lose anyone else! Not again..."
He thought, shaking violently, but staying by Tex's side, saying...
"Help will be here soon, Tex. Just hold on...because I...love you too..."
Sieg, too noticed Hunter's coughing fit, and he moved closer to her, asking...
"Miss Hunter? Are you....Gah!"
Sieg cried out, as his entire body began to burn as though engulfed in flames...
"No! Not now! Why is the curse seal activating now? Ngh... I have to keep strong. Hunter needs me...Come on body...Move!"
Sieg managed to struggle to his feet, and he got to Hunter, placing an arm around her, saying...
"Miss Hunter...What's wrong? Don't worry. I'm here...I won't let anything happen to you..."
Unbeknownst to all of them, a third figure was rapidly approaching, her motorcycle engine roaring...
-
Despite the pain Tex was in, no matter how hard it hurt...her mind was surprisingly calm...as it was processing only three words that Dante had said 'he...said he...loved me...' then against all odds a smiled spread across her face in spite of the pain she was in. 'I...can't die...not yet....Dante...needs me.' that was her last thought before everything around her went black.
Her body stopped convulsing, her breathing became shallower, and she closed her eyes, but that smile, the kind that said 'everything would be alright' was still on her face. She then whispered out one word to Dante...
"love."
~~~~
Hunter took one last final inhale of breath and finally coughed out whatever was clogging her air ways and gasped as she took several large inhales of air, as she body shook from the shock of almost suffocating. She looked down at what the cause of her problems were and almost laughed as she said "A...bone...there..was a..bone in my burger...typical!"
Her eyes locked with Sige's and she kissed him on impulse knowing it would calm him and herself down.
-
Sieg couldn't help but laugh a little as Hunter coughed out the bone, and he managed to quip...
"So... I guess the contest's over? How many burgers did you manage to eat?"
Dante, meanwhile, was staying by Tex's side, holding her close to himself to remind himself that she was still alive.
"Please...whoever is coming to help...get here soon..."
He whispered, as a knock on the door startled him.
"Y-Yeah? Who is it?"
He asked, looking towards the noise...
The door opened, revealing another young lady raptor, clad in a white sweater and red pants, with a red leather jacket on.
"Dante. When are you going to pay off the...oh."
She looked at Tex's unconscious form, and whatever she was going to say was forgotten.
"Lady. Please, not now. She's in trouble. Can...Can you give us a hand? Please. I'll add this to the tab that I owe you, but...please help me save her." Dante asked, his voice genuinely pleading...
"Don't worry about it Dante. Here. Let me help you get her to the bike. I'll let you drive. And...I'll do what I can to help, too." Lady added, moving to help Dante move Tex...
-
Hunter giggled a little as she said "I got down...around thirty. So how many did you get Sieg?" She was waiting for his answer...because win or lose, she was going to Sieg a prize.
~~~~
Tex was only able to speak one word as the duo lifted her off the ground..."Love." she tried to open her eyes, but she was so tired...she wanted to sleep, but she knew that was a bad idea. She needed something to focus on and she managed in that moment to call out "D-dante...talk...I-I need....to..stay...a-awake."
-
Sieg laughed.
"Thirty, mm? I tied you, then. What now?"
He said, smirking...
_________________________________________________________________________
Dante, meanwhile was looking at Tex.
"Right. You haven't met Lady yet, have you? She's an old friend of mine. Though... the first time we met, she up and shot me in the head..."
Dante continued to talk, reliving every adventure he had yet had...
-
Hunter smiled and said "Well, for tying in first place with me, you get this!" She then stepped forward and kissed Sieg for several moments and then stepped back to catch her breath and said "The second part of your prize, is going to be a shocker!" She then pulled a box out of her pants pocket and sat down on the bed.
She then asked in pleasant voice "Would you come open this for me you big strong hunk you?"
~~~~
Tex moaned as she slurred "S-shot...in the h-head...that...must've hurt..."
-
Sieg nodded, then reached into his own coat pocket, pulling out a small box of his own.
"Of course I will, Miss Hunter. That is, if you'll open this box, beautiful."
He said caringly...
____________________________________________________________________
"Yeah. Hurt like nothing else, I'll tell ya. C'mon. We're getting you to the hospital...love."
Dante said, holding Tex against himself as he started the motorcycle...
-
Hunter blushed and said "Of course Sieg, but let's open them together..." She then handed him the box in her hands and took the one he was offering her, and said "Okay together now...on three....
She then counted down "One...two...THREE!"
____________________________________________
Tex tried to smile, but she was far too tired as she mumbled "H-hunter....S-s-sieg...they....need to......know."
-
Sieg's jaw dropped, and he was speechless.
For the moment, all he could hope was that Siela's pendant and ring would be able to measure up to Hunter's gift.
Dante sped towards the hospital, and he nodded to Tex, responding...
"Yeah. Well, you better make it through this. Then we can tell them together. I guess... I wonder if they'll be surprised."
He chuckled a little as he saw the picture in his mind...
-
Hunter's lip was quivering...
She was expecting a ring, but a pendant to boot...that was the one thing she didn't see coming...she was struck speechless as she stuttered "S-sieg...i-i-it's....beautiful..." She then raced forward and grabbed him in a bear hug of emotions as she stared at the pendant and ring combo and prayed that her 24K gold ring with a quartz stone would be enough.
______________________
Tex faintly smiled as she finally slipped into unconsciousness. Although she was out of it Tex was still happier than she'd ever been in her live...she was in love for the first time...and as far as she knew, she was still going to have a child...she just hoped nothing was wrong when she awakened.
-
Sieg smiled at Hunter, hugging her back.
"So. It's official. We're engaged now. This is the most wonderful day of my life!"
He laughed, sliding the ring onto his finger and kissing Hunter on the cheek....
Dante revved the cycle's engine, silently cursing at it to go faster. He wove through the traffic expertly, dodging cars as he raced desperately towards the Hospital...
-
Hunter was so happy that for a moment after Sieg kissed her she was frozen in place, and then she smiled brightly and kissed Sieg back. She then slid the ring onto her finger and asked "Would you mind putting the pendant around my neck and clasping it please...my mate."
She then said aloud "I've only been this happy once in my entire life ya know?"
______________________________________________
A doctor working at the nearby hospital was walking out to his car mumbling something about interns being completely retarded when he heard the sound of a motorcycle coming down the street. He squinted his eyes to try and see the driver, and he cried "OH CRAP! D-DANTE!!!! Gotta hide!"
He then ran back inside praying that Dante hadn't seen him. But then something caught his mind as he said "I thought I saw someone on his bike just now with him?"
-
Sieg took the pendant, which was in the shape of a Forget-Me-Not, with a single sparking sapphire at the center, and lovingly clasped it around Hunter's neck.
"I can imagine. It's not every day that you find someone who you love more than anything, is it?"
He said quietly , wrapping his arms around her as he did so...
Dante, meanwhile, skidded the cycle to a stop, and ran towards the door, holding Tex in his arms.
"Doc! Let me in! Please! I don't know what's wrong with my...with my mate, but she was vomiting blood and she's unconcious! Please, let me in!"
He yelled, looking at the door...
-
Hunter smiled as Sieg wrapped his arms around her, and said "No...this type of day is one that should be remembered for years to come..." she sighed as she said "I love you so much Sieg...I always feel safe when I'm near you...no matter what's happening."
________________________________________________
The doctor looked at Dante, then at Tex and shouted "TEX?!" he then looked back up at Dante and said "Why didn't you say her name before? Let's get her to the ER NOW! FOLLOW ME!" the doc. then began running down the hall knowing just where to go, and hoping Dante would be right behind him.
-
Sieg leaned in closer to Hunter, letting his face rest next to hers.
"And I know I will never forget today."
He then brought one arm up to the back of Hunter's head as he whispered...
"When I'm with you...it's like I can see, and feel, the goodness of people again. It's...wonderful..."
Dante raced after the doctor, his boots clicking on the floor as he raced her towards the ER...
-
Hunter blushed deeply as she heard what Sieg had said and she responded by saying "When I'm with you...I can feel....the love of all my old friends who...died...that day....shining through you...I know they will never forget me, and neither will you...and for that...I thank you...my mate."
Hunter then reached around and kissed Sieg's cheek.
________________________________________________
At that moment Tex moaned in pain. She then stuttered out "W-water....broke...coming..."
Luckily for her the doctor heard her confession and said "Now we have even less time!" As if a silent prayer had been answered they reached the ER with a full staff standing by for moments like this. He then gave them the situation.
"We have a pregnant female whose water just broke...we have no time! Let's move people!" Seconds later the ER became a hive of activity as the doctor called Dante over and said "Place Tex down on the bed here."
He then looked Dante in the eyes and asked "You don't remember me do you Dante?"
-
Sieg grinned as Hunter kissed him, and he said in return..
"And having you here...makes me think that Siela is still watching out for me."
He said, kissing her on the lips...
_________________________________________________________________________
Dante looked the doctor over. Something told him that they had met before, but the exact memory escaped him.
"Sorry. I don't. But I do know we've met before. I just can't remember where..."
Dante replied, trying to recall...
-
Hunter felt Sieg kissing her lips and she didn't even think to pull away. In fact she only pressed harder, as she opened her eyes and smiled. As they broke the kiss, she asked a question that had been on her mind for a while...
"D-do you think...about having...children of our own...someday?"
__________________________________________________________________
The Doctor smiled nervously as he said "Yeah...uhhh...I suppose being shot in the head would cause some memory loss, but uhh...I was the guy who closed that hole in your head...and accidently gave you that scar above your eye...but it's nice to see that after all this time its almost healed."
He then noticed Tex was smiling...even though she was technically unconscious and going into labor. he then said
"Well would you look at that...she's smiling...I think she's either really in love, or she's crazy."
-
Sieg thought for a moment, then nodded,saying...
"Yeah. I do. And I think that when we do have them, they'll be just as beautiful as their mother..."
_________________________________________________________________________
Dante looked at the Doctor, then touched the scar before responding...
"Oh. I never thanked you properly for that, did I? Now this is two I owe you."
Then he looked at Tex, who was indeed smiling, and added...
"In love or crazy? Aren't those kinda similar? Besides, this is Tex. I think it's a little of both, regardless."
-
Hunter blushed and smiled as she listened to Dante speak and she replied "If there as beautiful as I am...then they may just as stubborn as you are...that'll be an interesting time to see when they become teenagers." She then began to laugh at the thought.
______________________________________________________________________
The doctor sheepishly smiled and said "yeah, you can pay me back for those later, right now your mate is going into surgery." He then smiled and said aloud, "Ya know, this IS Tex, she may just be both...like you said. But I gotta ask, who is she in love with...it couldn't be you. You said you'd never settle down..."
The doctor then laughed and said "Ya know, for all the wounded you bring in here Dante, I should start paying you a commission check."
-
"That will be... interesting, to say the least. But for now, we should focus on beating the cultists, right? A world with them around isn't the kind of world where our children can be happy, is it?"
Sieg asked, laughing along with Hunter...
_________________________________________________________________________
"Look, just because I said I wouldn't ever settle down, that doesn't mean that I haven't given any thought to it. And when I'm with her... Well, let's just say that I may eventually decide to."
Dante smirked, then added...
"And I bring in all those people because I don't like the concept of being a killer. Strange, huh?"
He asked, looking at the surgery room door anxiously...
-
Hunter smiled and said "Yeah...the cultist have to be the first to go down...and then several others that I have on my hit list." She then stood up and said "Well I guess we should go tell Dante and Tex the winner of the eating contest huh?"
________________________________________________________________
The doc smiled and said "Yeah, you not a killer that's just funny. I seem to remeber that one patient you brought in with you that almost had their limb cut clean through...your lucky that sword of yours was red hot and burned most of the wound closed or they might have bled to death."
The doc then turned his head as a nurse came out of the ER, with a sad smile on her face. She was trembling as she stuttered "I-I think...both of you...will want to come..and see this."
The doctor looked over to Dante and ran towards the door wondering what the nurse meant.
-
"Yeah. I guess that the pair of them would want to know, wouldn't they? That, and we should make our...other announcement..."
Sieg said, turning towards the door to the room...
_________________________________________________________________________
Dante almost trampled both the doctor and the announcing nurse as he raced towards the ER door...
-
Hunter reached for the door handle, and noticed something. "Hey...it's too quiet out there...you don't think...something happened to them do you?"
_____________________________________________________________
Tex was laying on the table, covered in a fair amount of blood, but she was smiling with her eyes wide open looking at the ceiling. As she noticed the door burst open to show Dante and the Doc...she smiled brighter and said in a weak voice...
"D-Dante...he's...all ours...t-to raise...and....take care of."
At that moment the nurse walked towards Tex and said to Dante "If you had let me finish this earlier I would've shown you this sooner." She then unwarpped a baby.
This baby looked like her mother, but in place of pink skin it was a dull grey, and along her belly was the pink coloring of her mother. The baby was sleeping, and looked so peaceful.
Tex shed a tear and said "I...havent' named her...yet....I thought we should...ya know...do it together..."
-
Sieg shook his head, unsure.
"We'd best be careful. Something may have happened to them. But I hope not. In any case, let's at least find out..."
He said, reaching for the hilt of his sword...
_________________________________________________________________________
Dante stammered, looking at the newborn child...
"Tex...She's beautiful."
He finally managed to say, then regained some of his composure and said...
"I dunno about a name. The only one I can think of is Eva. What about you, love?"
He asked, looking her in the eyes...
-
Hunter creaked open the door and stumbled back as her nose was hit with a sour and sicking smell and she cried out "Holy! What the heck is that stench?! It's horrible..."
But after several seconds decided that finding Tex and Dante was more important she stepped out into the hallway and noticed the smell getting stronger the closer she got to the bathroom.
She looked inside and almost fainted from the sight of the bathroom...but she knew immeditaely as well that something was wrong and said to Sieg "I think they may be hurt...we have to find out where they are!"
_________________________________________________________________
Tex smiled as she slowly sat up, and was given the baby. She smiled brighter as she replied to Dante "I think I have a better one...Deva...in honor of her new father...Dante."
-
"If you're looking for Dante, he's not here. He took that other girl and headed to the hospital. I don't entirely know what was wrong with her, but she looked like she was in a bad way..."
Lady stepped out from behind the stairs, addressing Sieg and Hunter.
"Which hospital? And who are you?"
Sieg asked, drawing his blade warily...
_________________________________________________________________________
"Deva..."
Dante said the name aloud, thinking for a moment before beaming and saying...
"That's a great name, Tex. I'm sure that she'll grow up to be as wonderful a person as you are."
Then he brought his face next to Tex's, adding...
"And I'll always be there as he father...my love..."
-
Hunter smiled as she put a hand on Sieg's shoulder and addressed Lady by saying "Long time no see, Lady...so you still being the oppressive, over charging, and critical landlord I remember? Or did you take my present as a warning?"
Then she realized that Lady had said the word hospital...and she said a little more worried..."You said Tex was in a bad way...Is she okay...what happened?"
______________________________________________________________________________
Doc smiled at the scene before him but noticed Tex yawning. He then put his doctoral degree to work by saying "I'm sorry Dante, but Tex does need her rest, the baby will stay with her for now, and unless she says otherwise, you will have to leave."
Upon that moment Tex reached out and grabbed Doc by the pants and said "Dante leaves...and you won't be having anymore children....am I clear?!"
Doc stuttered out "P-perfectly ma'am!"
-
Sieg looked at Lady, then sighed, shook his head, and put his blade away, saying...
"Good to meet you. Where were the two of them headed, again?"
Lady thought for a moment, then responded by saying...
"They were headed towards the Aspen hospital. You know where that is right? All I know is that the Stego was unconscious when Dante left. Oh, and Hunter? I left that job a while ago. I'm a vigilante now, like Dante and the others that are against the cult..."
_________________________________________________________________________
Dante pulled up a chair, seating himself next to Tex, placing a kiss on her cheek.
"Thanks Tex. I'll stay here as long as you want me to. Because I love you, and I love our new daughter. Our Deva..."
-
Hunter sighed as she heard which hospital they were heading to. She then sat down on the floor and said "You should go after them Sieg...I can't set foot in that hospital...for personal and financial reasons."
She then looked to Lady and said "A vigilante huh...just like me...I knew we always had something in common. Care to show me what you've learned while we've been away?"
_______________________________________________________________________________
Tex smiled at Dante and said "Thank you for being here with me and Deva. It means so much to me. I'll bet Hunter and Sieg will be delighted to hear the news." She looked over to Doc who was standing on a nearby wall and asked him...
"When will be getting out of here?"
Doc responded by saying "Only until we are sure that the last major episode in that apartment wasn't something serious."
"So days then?" asked Tex with a frown
"yep." said Doc
"Crap." Was the only word Tex could think of to describe her feelings.
Doc then smiled and said "Don't worry so much, you'll be treated to the best gourmet meals this hospital has to offer, and all the wild Cherry ice cream you can eat."
Tex smiled, kissed Dante on the lips and said "Now that's a compromise.
-
"Mm? Personal Reasons? Care to tell me them? I'd like to know about them, Miss Hunter."
Sieg said, sounding concerned...
"Show you what I've learned? Sure thing, Hunter. You're on!"
Lady said, reaching behind herself and pulling a large rocket launcher with a blade under the barrel.
"Ready for this?"
_________________________________________________________________________
"Yeah. I bet they'll be over the moon when we tell 'em. For now, though, you need rest. Don't worry about anything. I'll be right here beside you..."
Dante smiled at his new mate, new child, and at his new future...
-
Hunter smiled and said "Maybe later darling..." She then giggled and replied "You can also stop calling me Miss...we are married now right dear?"
Hunter then looked up to Lady and said "Wow...upgraded your toy huh? Well...I think my mastery of Tai-Chi can beat that silly thing!" She then stood up and said to Sieg, "You may wanna stand back, this could be interesting."
_______________________________________________________________________________
Tex nodded and said "Yes...I am tired, so rest would be good." She closed her eyes and drifted quietly to sleep.
Doc smiled and said "Ya know, that whole gourmet food thing also applies to you too. So if you get hungry you can get something to eat."
-
"Alright...My love. Mind if I join in this little sparring bout? Oh, and Hunter...Here's a gift for you."
Sieg reached back behind himself, producing a delicately engraved tai-chi sword, with the word love carved on one side, and the word forever on the other side, as well as both their names on the guard.
"So...Is everyone ready?"
_________________________________________________________________________
"Thanks, Doc. Could you tell me your name again? It kinda stinks owing someone when you don't even know their name. Sorry..."
Dante said, half-smiling...
-
Hunter smiled and started crying as she took the sword from Sieg. She nodded her head and replied "This...is the...g-greatest gift...I-I've ever gotten...thank you Sieg!" She then gave him a kiss on the cheek and said "Yeah, you can join this fight...on one condition. If you accept this gift from me."
Hunter then reached behind her and in her hand as she pulled it back around was a gold plated revolver six shooter with the words Love and Heaven engraved on the handle, and both their names engraved on the barrel.
"I hope you like it." she said with a tear still in her eye.
_____________________________________________________________________________
Doc then smiled and Dante and said "Ya know...I guess you're right...well better now then never! My name Rocker...and in case you couldn't tell...I..am...ugh...this is never easy."
Rocker sighed and continued "I'm Killer's cousin."
-
Sieg gently took the weapon, placing it into one of his coat's inner pockets. The closest pocket to his heart, in fact. He kissed Hunter on the cheek, then said...
"Thank you...Hunter... I'll treasure this for the rest of my days. Now then..."
He turned to face Lady, drawing his blade as he did so, the katana's edge gleaming in the light.
"Are we ready to get started?"
_________________________________________________________________________
"Oh? So that means that you're related to Deva. And don't worry, I won't judge you based on your family. After all, my bro's one of the cultists too. It's all cool, Rocker."
Dante said, leaning back in his chair and shutting his eyes lightly...
-
Hunter placed the newly given sword on her back and into a sheath that she had recently bought. 'Never thought I'd get a chance to use this thing.' She then took up a battle stance and said "Okay let's get this star-"
She stopped mid sentence as she said "Perhaps it would be wiser to have our little test outside of Dante's apartment. I mean I'd be pissed if I came home and saw it in pieces."
________________________________________________________________________________
Rocker smiled and said sounding rather shocked "Wh-what?! What are you talking about...related to Deva?"
He then added a "Thank you." to Dante for not showing any hostility towards him. He wasn't sure Tex would feel the same way when she awakened, but he would have to wait for that to happen.
-
"Yeah, probably. After all, he's had to rebuild the place at least twice. We'll take this outside."
Lady said, heading for the door...
"That's not a problem for me."
Sieg nodded, following the others...
_________________________________________________________________________
"Yeah. Technically, Deva isn't really my daughter. She's Tex's and Killers. So, really, you are related to her."
Dante explained, never opening his eyes...
-
Hunter was confused as she walked outside with Lady and Sieg as she asked "Wait...why twice? And for what reason?"
__________________________________________________________
Rocker turned around after hearing the news and punched a hole in the wall with his fist and started shaking. He then walked outside the room to let Dante, Tex and the baby get some rest while he thought about what he'd just heard.
-
Lady laughed, then replied to Hunter.
"Well, the first time was because his brother attacked and totaled the place. The second one, though, was Dante trying to modify one of his motorcycles, with...explosive results, to say the least..."
_________________________________________________________________________
Dante looked at the hole in the wall, then sighed and thought to himself...
"Wonder what's eating him? I'll have to ask about it later..."
Before he leaned his head to rest on Tex's shoulder and dozed off...
-
Hunter smiled and started laughing at Lady's answers to her question. She then asked as she took a battle stance "What kind of materials was he using to blow up his motorcycle and apartment?"
__________________________________________________________________
Rocker was standing in the hallway just punching holes into the walls. He was pissed and anyone walking by could see that. He then said to himself 'I hate him...I want to see him dead...If I ever find my brother...I'm going to KILL HIM!'
"He wasted so much of our families life and spirit. Killer...you waste of space. And now you did this?! I swear by the gods I will kill you myself, and if I fail in that task...I'll find you in the afterlife and send you down below myself!"
-
Lady thought for a second, then replied...
"The nut was trying to attach two nitro tanks to his bike. The results were...unexpected to say the least..." Lady laughed...
_________________________________________________________________________
Dante opened one eye as he heard the commotion that Rocker was making outside.
"Wow. Whatever he's got on his mind's got him pretty PO'ed. He needs to mellow out..." Dante thought...
-
Hunter burst out laughing as she heard Lady talking about the experience and she asked "So how did you find out about the happy fire hour in Dante's apartment?"
She then looked to Sieg and blushed as she waited for her answer.
________________________________________________________________________
Rocker's vision was going blurry from his anger. He took several deep breaths and started to walk back to where Tex and Dante were staying, while at the same time removing a syringe from his pocket.
He then said "It's a good thing I keep this things in heavy supply for times like this!" And just as he opened the door to Tex's room, he shoved the syringe in his arm and sighed deeply as he collapsed on the floor fully sedated and quickly going unconscious.
-
Lady kept laughing, struggling to breathe as she responded...
"Well, you try missing a huge explosion that rocks almost half a mile sometime, and then tell me about it. And by the way, was that explosion from around here your work?"
She then looked at the pair of them looking at each other and blushing, and added...
"Oh, and you two have got to tell me how you ended up together. Have ya...y'know...yet?"
Sieg turned even redder as she said this. and his mouth worked soundlessly, at a loss for words...
_________________________________________________________________________
Dante saw Rocker inject himself, and quickly and silently stood, moving over to the unconscious doctor. With one arm, Dante heaved him onto his shoulder and dropped him in a chair before returning to his spot next to Tex. Before dozing off again, he said one word, to himself...
"Idiot..."
-
Hunter blushed as she nodded her head and said "Yeah...it was...that diner I love...I kinda tossed a hand grenade inside it, sorry. They served some tail kicking cheesecake though." She then caught what Lady had said and turned purple from blushing and several moments of not breathing.
Hunter then took a deep breath and stuttered out "N-no...well...yes...b-but..it...well...I umm...well thats to say...oh..." She was still blushing and her scales were only getting redder by the moment as she tried to explain and then she turned to Sieg and asked
"Maybe we should wait for Tex to come back to explain it?"
____________________________________________________________
His internal clock was ringing, but thanks to the drugs Rocker wasn't feeling or hearing a thing. He smiled in his sleep as his hands clenched together and he started to laugh lightly...he was dreaming of his vengance against Killer, and he was enjoying every minuet of it.
Until Deva began to cry that is. Her soft yet loud cries were enough to just barely bring Rocker out of his drug enduced sleep...barely!
Tex however was up in a heart beat cradling the baby in her arms and making cooing sounds. She then turned to Dante and asked "Is there anything for the baby to drink?" She then turned to Rocker and asked "Is he okay?"
-
Sieg nodded, still at a loss for words, as he agreed...
"Y-yeah, Tex should probably be..the one to...explain all of this..."
_________________________________________________________________________
Dante looked over at Rocker.
"Oh, him? He just injected himself with a sedative right in the dang doorway. He'll live."
He then moved towards the door, saying...
"They probably have something around here. After all, it is a hospital..."
And smiled as he headed outside the room...
-
Hunter nodded and said "S-so Lady, why did you ask about the explsion around here? Did you work at that diner or something?"
_________________________________________________________________
At that moment Rocker threw his right hand into the air and pointed at Tex as he slurred "W-why...not no you...feed breast feed....baby...milk....of fire...haha."
Tex was confused...very confused.
"What's he stammering about Dante?" She then turned to Rocker and asked "What's one plus one?"
His answer was less than perfect.
"FINLAND!"
Tex laughed and said "Yeah, he'll be fine."
-
Lady shook her head.
"No. Just curious, that's all. When I heard something exploding, I thought it might be you."
_________________________________________________________________________
Dante looked over at Rocker for a moment, then walked over to Tex and whispered in her ear...
"I think that captain Drugged-up over there asked why you don't just breast-feed her."
-
Hunter smiled and said "It almost was me getting blown up...but I had to rescue Sieg over here. Poor guy can't take a bullet to the leg apparently." She then giggled at the memory.
______________________________________________________________________________
Tex blushed at the thought. Yet it surprised her that she hadn't thought of that...she was wondering if she should try it. She looked down at Deva who was still crying, and sighed as she said to Dante
"Okay...I'll try."
She shifted her weight on the bed and placed Deva under her shirt and blushed. This was embarrassing, but enjoyable to her. She then looked at Dante and blushed harder as she said "keep an eye on Captn' Druggie over there...if he gets a boner...he's a dead man!"
-
"Don't forget, Hunter. I took that hit saving your life. But still...Thanks."
Sieg said, blushing and smiling at his new mate...
_________________________________________________________________________
Dante walked back over to Rocker, casually using his thumb to hit a pressure point. Rocker promptly dropped back unconscious, mostly thanks to the sedative in his system.
"Problem solved, Tex..."
Dante chuckled...
-
Hunter smiled at Sieg and said "Yeah...that's true too...but even then I had a crush on you...so I was hoping I'd get to save you sometime...and I'm glad I did."
She then blushed and asked "Did you take that bullet for me by accident or were you trying to win my heart?"
_________________________________________________________________________________
Tex smiled and said "Thanks...ya know...this feels kinda nice...breast feeding and all." She blushed as she continued "This is one of the happiest moments in my life...I have a family...a real family, and...."
She begins to cry and laughing at the same time she says "Even if Killer is crazy....I have to thank him for this wonderful gift...and you for sticking by me until the end Dante."
-
"Really, it was a little of both. But mostly... I was trying to win your heart. I really thought that you were something special from the moment we met, and the longer I was with you, the more I liked you. So I was trying to save you. Getting shot in the leg was... unexpected."
Sieg smiled...
_________________________________________________________________________
Dante smiled back at Tex, giving her a kiss on the cheek.
"You know I could never leave you. Not when I love you as much as I do. Not to mention that...yeah, it is nice to have...a real family."
He said, leaning his face next to hers to look at Deva...
-
Hunter smiled and blushed at Sieg and said "Well...that's nice to know. So...fate does exists after all...well...and here I was going to give my theory on fate being a load of b.s. to the city council...guess that plan's out the window."
Hunter then asked Lady, "Do you know my personal motto?"
____________________________________________________________________________
Tex blushed as Dante kissed her. She then said "Yeah...a family...is nice to have...when they love each other."
And although he was out cold from the medication and the recent pressure point hit from Dante...it didn't mean Rocker still couldn't have a nightmare.
"GET BACK!" He shouted as he continued saying "You've disgraced this family...you've let mom, dad and even me down...now...leave...or stay and die by my hand..."
He then said something that caught Tex by surprise...
"And now you have to nerve to pull this....don't lie to me...she told me herself...after what you did...this is going to be soooo much fun!" He then made several stabbing motions with his left hand laughing while he did it.
-
"Do Tell. This ought to be interesting..."
Lady chuckled...
____________________________________________________________________
"What is his issue?"
Dante said, shaking his head faintly...
"Oh, and Tex? Ya think that we should call the others? They'll probably want to hear about the news, don't you think?"
-
Hunter giggled and said "I have two personal mottos. Here is the first: Eat cheesecake or die.
"...and my really personal favorite: Every Hunter needs a killer. Although to be truely honest...I'm going to change that killer part to lover....and you can guess why." She then looked to Sieg and smiled slyly.
______________________________________________________________________________
Tex sighed and whispered to Dante "He must feel betrayed. I can't imagine what's he's had to deal with when the subject of his family comes up."
She then smiled at Dante's second remark and replied "No...I want this to be a surprise...a big surprise. Hunter is never going to believe this!"
-
"Oh, I can guess, Hunter. And my personal motto... has always been to defend those dearest to me. And that is you..."
Sieg replied, smiling at her...
____________________________________________________________________
"Yeah. Probably. I can kinda get what he's feeling. After all, my father was a demon who rebelled against hell, and my brother is a cultist. Not exactly the model family, huh?"
Dante smirked, then added...
"Yeah. I bet Sieg and Lady'll be surprised all to heck and gone, too."
Then he beamed...
-
Hunter blushed as she then had a confused look on her face as she asked "What were we doing again?" She then looked at Sieg and said "Well whatever the reason is I'm sure I'm going to have to save you again."
___________________________________________________________________
Tex frowned as she said "I-I didn't know that...i'm sorry for you." But then as she looked into his eyes while holding a now sleeping Deva she smiled too and then said, "First thing I'm teaching Deva to do....is talk back to Hunter and steal her cheesecake." She then giggled at that last thought.
-
"We were going to spar. And, I'm sure that I'll have to save you at least once, too, love."
Sieg laughed...
"And on that note... ready?"
____________________________________________________________________
"Don't worry about it, Tex. There was nothing that you could have done, right?"
Dante said, then laughed at Tex's plan...
"That ought to be pretty funny. I can't wait until she's old enough to do both!"
-
Hunter smiled and replied to Sieg, "Yeah, we'll just see wont we?"
She then took her battle stance now remembering she had the personalized sword on her back from her mate. She smiled as she was getting giddy with excitement. "This should be quite interesting...ready Lady, I'm not holding back!"
____________________________________________________________________________
Tex turned her head as she heard a crash sound from behind her. She then saw the cause...Rocker was walking around on his hands.
"Okay, this is weird...first the stabbing, and now this...I wonder what his deal is...I think he needs a vacation."
Rocker meanwhile was dreaming about doing a hi-wire act in a circus...just like when he was a kid. He was having fun too...that is until he bumped into a wall that happened to have a defibrillator on it.
And it was fully charged. He found out as 20,000 volts of lighting surged through his butt and he screamed like a little girl for several long minutes.
He then fell over his coat smoking from the discharge. He blinked and croaked "O-ow...."
Hunter had to admit...she felt bad for him, but the light show was a good one.
-
"Neither am I. Let's go!"
Sieg said, shifting to a combat stance...
"Here goes. This is for real!"
Lady yelled, aiming at Hunter and Sieg...
____________________________________________________________________
"Ouch. That probably woke him up just a little. I hope..."
Dante smirked...
-
Hunter ducked under Lady's first move, and smiled. "Just like old times." She said aloud throwing a punch towards Lady's face. "Dodge this!" She shouted.
_______________________
Tex smiled and replied, "Yeah, I'll bet he's up now!" Even Deva found that funny as she laughed and clapped her hands causing Tex to smile brighter. "There may be hope for you yet little Deva!" she said as she giggled at her daughters antics.
-
"Okay. I will!" Lady yelled, dodging back by planting her rocket launcher's blade in the ground and backflipping over the handle, aiming a kick at Hunter in retaliation.
Sieg had jumped directly up to dodge the first attack, and now aimed himself at Lady with a dive kick...
____________________________________________________________________
Dante was also laughing at Deva's response to Rocker's...mishap.
"Heh. Seems she got your sense of humor, Tex!"
He said, doubled over from laughing so hard...
-
Hunter didn't move fast enough to dodge the kick and was caught in her jaw.
She stepped back and shook her head clear and said "That was a cheap trick. Now for a real fight!" She then used her tail to try and trip Lady while at the same time throwing a punch for good measure.
_______________________
Tex laughed as well. She was glad that her daughter had found that funny. She then looked over as Rocker finally started to get up.
He was still smoking and shaking as he said "W-what....happened?" but then he looked down and frowned at the machine on the floor and said "Awww....crap. Not again!"
Tex just giggled more and said "Well you were kinda asking for it walking on your hands."
Rocker just sat back down in the chair and smiled. "You two are the perfect couple." he said with a grin.
Tex blushed in reply looking at Dante
-
Sieg landed next to Hunter, adding a roundhouse kick at Lady's legs.
"Take this!" He said as the kick swept towards her...
"Two on one? That hardly seems fair!"
Lady yelled, blocking Sieg's kick with a forearm, but then falling over Hunter's sweep
____________________________________________________________________
"Yeah. You do that often?"
Dante asked, looking at Rocker and chuckling. Then he looked at Tex and started blushing as he added...
"Thanks for saying that, Rocker."
-
"I don't recall you saying this HAD to be fair..." Said Hunter with a sly smile on her face as she threw a punch towards Lady while she was still on the ground.
Hunter knew that kind of move was dishonest but right now she was into the fight, and almost nothing was going to stop her.
___________________________________
Rocker smiled at Dante's question and said "Yeah I do...since I was seven. Don't know why either. I remember a circus and the ring leader asking for a volunteer but then everything gets blurry."
He then chuckled as he replied "I wouldn't say it if it weren't true." He then looked at Tex and said "I can pull a few strings and get you out of here tomorrow morning if you'd like."
Tex smiled brightly and said "You can...that would be great!"
Then Rocker got a confused look on his face as he asked "Do you have a sister Tex?"
Tex face fell as she said "I had...a sister...she...she died many years ago. i think at this very hospital." She then began to cry.
That wasn't the reaction he was expecting as he said "I know this is hard for you, but was your sisters name by any chance Halley 'Hex' Southpaw would it?" He looked to Dante as Tex was now hysterical and didn't answer. He then asked "Do you know her sister?"
-
"Good. That means I can do...this!"
Lady rolled to her feet, kicking Sieg in the chest and throwing him backwards before aiming her weapon's bayonet at Hunter's head...
____________________________________________________________________
"I...yeah. I think I met her once. She came by my office once, asked if I was interested in a job. You can probably guess what it was, right Tex? I...I think that was a few days before...well before she...died..."
Dante trailed off...
-
Hunter barely saw the blade coming...but threw her head back just in time. As she did, the balde chipped a scale off her nose and she went cross eyed trying to see it all happen. She then landed flat on her back and rolled away from Lady to try and get her thoughts straight.
'That...was too close....almost lost my head. But if she wants to play...then I'll be happy to play!'
She then retreved the blade from her back and let the street light shiine off it...as she said "This is going to be fun!"
Just then the blade began to glow.
_________________________________________
Tex took a deep breath as she said "Y-yes....Dante. I remember..." She then took another breath and gave Rocker a death glare.
"If you....EVER bring up my sister again....I'll crush you!"
Rocker however had a rather confident smile on his face as he then said "Oh...what a shame...I'm sure you'd like to see her one last time right?"
Tex was now shaking with a mixture of rage and sorrow as she said "M-m-maybe...just...once."
Rockers smile boradened as he said "Good...we can put Deva in the nursery and you two can follow me."
Tex was still scowling as she said "Dante...could you help me...out of this bed?" She then said "Deva stays with me!"
-
Sieg flipped through the air, landing heavily on his feet.
"So...Now we can fight for real, hm?"
He said, drawing his blade, facing the others...
_________________________________________________________________________
"Right. Up you go, Tex."
Dante said, helping his mate stand up...
-
Hunter smiled and replied "Oh yeah...now the fight really begins!" She then swept the sword towards Lady attempting to get her to jump. 'I hope this move works...I still haven't gotten it down yet. Best case Lady gets winded....Worst case...I get impaled....wow...the latter option sucks...oh well no time now!'
She was hoping against hope that this move of hers didn't hurt her or Lady too badly, but one could never be sure.
____________________
Tex was surprised at how well she could stand after just giving birth. However she pushed that thought aside as she smiled at Dante and said "Thanks."
She then turned to Rocker and said "Show us. NOW!"
Rocker nodded his head and walked out the door without a word, with Tex and Deva right on his tail.
-
Lady did indeed jump, then swung her rocket launcher in front of herself, quickly parrying a strike from Sieg.
"Nice try you two!"
She laughed, ready for the next attack to come...
_________________________________________________________________________
Dante walked quietly next to Tex, eyes focused on Rocker...
"He's getting weird. Better be careful..."
He thought to himself...
-
Hunter for a moment looked at her sword before she attacked again. It was still shining...but she wasn't facing the light anymore. The light almost looked...pink? Okay this is getting just a little weird...but maybe..Sieg.'
At the mere thought of her mate she blushed again, and to her surprise the sword's 'light trick' followed suit and became a darker shade of pink. Then Hunter realized what it meant. "It responds to my emotions. Cool." she said aloud
She then looked up at Sieg still blushing and said "This sword is great Sieg...thank you."
____________________________
Tex wasn't aware that Dante was starting to get edgy towards Rocker, but she was becoming giddy with anticipation of what was coming. However after several minutes of walking she was starting to get bored and said "Where are we going anyway?"
Rocker turned to face her as he stopped in front of a door that read "Cryo storage"
"And we've arrived." as Rocker opened the door he smiled a toothy almost arrogant grin as he said "Tex say hello to your baby sister...again." And there in a room covered in ice and steam was a tube holding none other than Tex's little sister.
Tex was beside herself with joy. She immediately became teary eyed and started crying again.
-
Sieg smiled at Hunter, saying...
"You're very welcome, Hunter. I made the enchantments myself. It'll never break either, so you don't have to worry about that..."
____________________________________________________________________
Dante looked at Halley, and smiled...
"So...she's been in cryo this whole time? That's...well, I guess that's a good thing, hu, Tex?"
-
"What did you use to make the sword glow like this?" asked Hunter with curiosity in her voice. "It seems to respond to my emotions...and...I'm feeling kinda good right now."
_____________
Tex stopped sobbing for a moment and squeaked "I-is she...still..."
Rocker cut her off by saying "Alive...technically no..." But then his face brightened as he continued.
"We've developed a new serum that is supposed to bring the dead, or comatose back to the world of the living...and so far Halley has been the only subject we've had. And the only way for this to work is if we had a small sample of your or Deva's blood."
Hunter for a moment looked confused, then horrified and finally her face just became stock as she held Deva in her arms thinking about what she was doing.
'This is nuts. For so long I thought my sister had died...but here she is...and all they need to bring her back is a drop of my blood. But he said Deva too...maybe her blood...NO! She' a newborn...I won't let them near her...my blood will have to do!'
She then stuck her arm out and said "Okay take my blood...and you'd better pray this works."
-
"It's a basic light-bending spell. Though..getting it to react to your emotions took some tampering."
Sieg replied, seeming rather pleased with himself...
____________________________________________________________________
"A...amazing. She can be brought back? This is really...great news."
Dante finally stammered...
-
Hunter smiled lovingly into Sieg's eyes and said "I'm sure it did...now would you like to help me take down Lady over here, so she can stop waving that rocket launcher in my face!"
Hunter then raised the sword and swung it down with all her might towards Lady.
______________________
"Now Dante I never said this would be a 100% guarentee, but it should work for the most part."
Tex handed Deva over to Dante and stuck her arm out again as she replied "It had better work...or you WILL become sterile!"
Rocker gulped and said "I will do my best." He then pulled out a syringe and stuck into Tex's arm and they both winced in response.
Tex frowned as she saw her blood being drawn, but after a moment or two it was done.
Rocker pulled the syringe out, covered Tex's wound with some gauze and walked over to a computer terminal and inserted the blood sample into the computer.
And then several lights began to shine from the console and the stasis tube as well.
Then something happened inside the tube..something only Tex saw...Halley opened her eyes...
-
"Sure thing, Hunter!"
Sieg agreed, lunging with his own blade ready...
____________________________________________________________________
Dante shielded his eyes the best he could while holding Deva, nearly blinded by the lights.
"Is-Is it working?"
He asked...
-
Hunter smiled and said "Hey Lady, try to dodge this!" She then used her feet to jump into the air and swung her sword towards Lady with several quick movments.
__________________________
Hunter was too stunned and although she heard Dante she was in no position to respond. She was still staring into the cryo tube that held her sister.
Rocker was confused as he wathced the screen in front of him. Then the computer made a sound he was hoping for...a loud and ear pericing ping.
At that point the door to the tube opened and a cold mist filled the room.
Hunter took a step back as she stuttered "H-h-h..."
The ted and pink Stegasuarus stepped out and smiled despite being in the nude and said "Hi sis...long time no see."
-
Lady easily dodged and weaved through Hunter's strikes, though several slashed rents into her shirt.
"Darn it, Hunter! You messed up my favorite shirt. Ok, no more Ms. Nice Lady!"
She yelled, firing a rocket at Hunter, knowing that she couldn't stop it form where she was.
That is, until a bullet struck the rocket and detonated it a few feet out of the barrel. Sieg stood to the side, holding Hunter's gift revolver...
____________________________________________________________________
"It has been a long time...Hex. Remeber me? Dante. Nice to see you again."
Dante said, stepping forward, still cradling Deva in his arms, and smiling...
-
Hunter was stunned...she couldn't believe that Lady had actually tried to shoot her with a rocket! She looked over and smiled as she saw Sieg holding the pistol she'd brought him and she smiled.
"Good timing as usual dear." she called out as she threw the sword with all her might towards Lady's rocket.

Halley smiled and said "Well, if it isn't Dante. Nice to see you again."
She then looked down at the baby in his hands and asked "Ohh, what a sweet little baby, is she yours?"
Tex however was now on her knees crying as Deva smiled and giggled at the new face.
Rocker then said "Hello Hex...welcome back."
-
"I learned from the best, my love."
Sieg quipped back, grinning...
Lady dodged the sword just in time, but her rocket launcher was cleanly sliced in two.
"Gah! Hunter! That was so uncalled for!"
She yelled rolling out of the way and grabbing a short dagger from her boot...
____________________________________________________________________
"Yeah. Well, she's Tex's, at least. Her name's Deva."
Dante said, still amazed to see someone who was recently thought dead in front of him...
-
Hunter giggled and said "Well, at least the fight is now fair..to a degree!" she then took up a battle stance and said "Come on Lady, try to move a little bit faster this time, so I can actually break a sweat!"
'I'll have to go back and get that sword later.' Thought Hunter to herself not wanting to forget it.
________________
Deva smiled again and giggled.
Rocker smiled and said "Well glad to see it worked." But before he continued he walked over to Tex, and picked her up by her wrists and said "Stop crying. Right now. You may be shocked and that's fine, but don't go getting a mental breakdown now!"
He let Tex go and she slumped to her knees and still continued to cry. Rocker stepped back and said "Buff it...I tried." He then looked over to Hex and Dante as he said "I'm going for coffee and food, can I get you two anything?"
Hex smiled and said "Well, if you can get me a cheeseburger I'll be grateful! Oh and a root beer!"
-
Sieg grinned, and made a simple beckoning motion with his hand, then pointed at Hunter. The blade hovered up and returned to it's scabbard with a soft whooshing sound.
"Don't worry about losing it either. You can simply call it back to yourself. Just beckon with your hand, and it'll return to you if it can."
He said, grinning...
____________________________________________________________________
"C'mon Tex. You don't want your sister to think you've lost it, do you?"
Dante walked over to Tex, kneeling next to her...
-
Hunter stood still for a moment digesting what Sieg had just told her....and she gave a devious, child like smile as she giggled and said "Is there anything that you DIDN'T do to this sword Sieg? I'm going to have so much fun with this thing!"
____________________
Tex was still sobbing as she nodded her head to Sieg, and she opened her eyes to look upon Hex once again. She with slow stumbling steps walked over to her sister and clung to her like a life raft.
'S-she's....warm...she...she's really...really here...' thought Tex
Halley smiled and said "Its okay Tex. I'm not mad at you...you're my sister...I'll always stand beside you. No matter what happens. Okay?"
Tex smiled and nodded her head again, not yet having the will to speak. Hex then said "I'm glad to see you started a family. Little Deva is yours huh?"
Tex then said "Y-yeah...halley...I...I thought...I'd never see you again. I promise to take better care of you from now on little sis."
Tex then looked at Dante and blushed as she stood up. "Thanks. I needed the help Dante. How is Deva?"
-
Sieg thought for a moment, then grinned rougishly and replied...
"Well, let's see. I didn't seal a soul into the blade, and I didn't make it have a bloodlust, but other than those, it has every enchantment I know how to do. Not easy, I'll tell you..."
He said, smiling at Hunter...
"Yeah. Real cute. If you two are done flirting, we are still fighting, right?"
Lady asked, lunging towards Sieg...
____________________________________________________________________
"It's no problem...Tex"
Dante said, then offered their daughter to her.
"Deva's fine. See for yourself..."
-
Hunter smiled and giggled as she heard Sieg speak. "Every single enchantment...that must be what like a thousand?"
But she then jumped forward pulling her sword out of its sheith and blocking Lady's knife as she retorted "Sorry, but no we're not done flirting, and besides, you need a real hobby!"
________________________
Tex took Deva in her hands and immediately the baby clung to her mothers neck and started to cry.
At that moment Rocker came through the door with a fully cooked cheeseburger a mug of Root Beer and a baby bottle. He smiled and said "Yeah, I thought Deva might need this."
He handed the food off to Halley and gave the bottle to Tex and she put the bottle near Deva's mouth and she started feeding.
Inbetween a bite Hex asked "Where did you get that milk anyway?"
Rocker immediately blushed and said "w-we keep a s-storage unit here full of nursing milk."
Hex smiled and said "You're lying." She turned to Dante and said "Go ask him where he really got that milk."
-
"Oh, I have a hobby alright! Mind you, that hobby is fighting, but still, It's a hobby!"
Lady quipped, swinging her leg towards Hunter, only to have it blocked by Sieg...
____________________________________________________________________
"Rocker..."
Dante said, narrowing his eyes dangerously...
-
Hunter smiled and said "That's not a hobby..that's just something you do for fun!"
She then threw a punch at Lady aiming for her face.
________________
Rocker shifted nervously on both his feet before saying "Okay..if I tell you all...you have to promise that my wounds will heal in a few days? Deal?"
Tex and Hex giggled and said at the same time "Yes, we promise."
"Okay...well...uhhh...while you were...in a coma Hex...I-I uhh...hehe...I've been using your breast milk."
Hex blushed...for the first time actually looking herself over and realizing she was nude.
Tex smiled and said "You're lucky I'm holding Deva or I would've slapped you by now!"
Rocker however wasn't done. "I mean I did it for a good cause...Hex your body was still functioning and ....why...let all that...good milk go to waste, as we do have two nurseries here almost full at any given time." He blushed as he said "And...the staff said they...wanted REAL milk...so...heh...sorry."
-
"Whoa! That was too close!"
Lady said, dodging back nimbly...
____________________________________________________________________
"You...What?"
Dante stammered...
-
Hunter smiled as she watched Lady move out of the way. She then said "Oh come on Lady, fight like you have some spirit left in ya! I'm getting bored already!"
________________________
Rocker just blushed and stared at the ground. He felt bad, but knew what he had done was the right call. Then he heard laughter.
It was coming from Hex! She was laughing so hard she was crying...it was an odd sight.
She then stood up and said "Okay, fair enough Rocker. I understand where you're coming from. Besides..." she then walked over and raised Rockers head so they were eye level, and said "...those babies are probably thanking you right now..."
Hex then turned to show off her cleavage and said "Someone had to do the hard work right?"
Tex then giggled at her sister and said "I missed your passive demeanor ya know?"
Hex nodded and replied "I know...now how about some clothes....a girl could catch a clod in here?"
-
"You wanna see spirit? Ok, here you go!"
Lady spun low to the ground, bringing her leg up to trip Hunter while simeltaneously aiming a punch at her head...
____________________________________________________________________
"Here. Put this on, at least..."
Dante sid, tossing his red coat to Hex...
-
Hunter knew she couldn't dodge both attacks so she did the smart thing...she let Lady sweep her legs out from under her, but at the same time, she grabbed Ladys' hand with her left and braced on the ground with her right hand.
She then used her momentum to lash her tail out at Lady's head...
_____________________________________
Hex caught the coat in one deft move and slipped it on. Thanks to Dante it was warm, which in contrast to the room temperature was a welcome change.
She turned and asked "Well now for some catch up..." She turned to Tex and Dante as she asked "What have I missed these last few years? I remember what put me here, but what's happened since then?"
-
Lady saw the attack coming, but took the hit and landed on the ground.
"Ok, Ok... I give..."
She muttered sullenly...
____________________________________________________________________
"Let's see...You've missed out on a group of psych cultists attempting to revive a really bad entity, your sister having her kid, and...anything else important, Tex?"
Dante said...
-
Hunter smiled and sighed as she sat on the ground and stuttered "G-good...I was getting worn out. You're stronger than I remember....what's your secret Lady?"
Hunter then looked at Sieg still gasping for air and asked "You alright dear?"
_______________________________
Hex smiled...she'd apparently missed more than she thought.
Tex however blushed and said with a sly smile "I'd say you missed something important...REALLY important...like the fact that we're mates!"
She then held Deva out to her sister who picked her up and Deva giggled and smiled.
Tex then smiled as well and replied "Looks like Deva knows who's family around here."
-
"Just Fine. Starting to get a little worried about Tex and Dante, though, my love..."
Sieg said, panting slightly...
"I haven't had a good fight in ages. Thanks, Lady"
____________________________________________________________________
"Oh yeah. How careless of me. Sorry, Tex. Yeah, Tex and I have become mates now, and... I must say I've never been happier."
Dante said, smiling...
-
Hunter smiled and said "Yeah...me too.."
She then looked over at Lady and asked "You mentioned that they were going to a hospital? Can you take us there?"
_____________________________________
Tex smiled as well, as Hex grabbed her sister and gave her a loving bear hug and said "Oh Tex...I'm so proud of you! You've finally done it...and without any of our 'products'. So when's the wedding?"
Tex stuttered and muttered "W-w-wedding? Well...we...uhh...well...we havne't set a date yet...ya know...stopping the cultist and all..."
Rocker laughed and said "Well...I say this calls for a celebration...what do you guys say?"
-
"Sure thing. Though, you said you didn't want to go there before..."
Lady smirked...
____________________________________________________________________
"A party? Sounds like a blast. Count me in. Tex, Hex, What about you guys?"
Dante chuckled...
-
Hunter smiled and said "Yeah, well before I wasn't as concerned for them as I am now...it's been a while, and I'm starting to worry about Tex...she is my friend after all. You going to help us get there or not Lady?"
________________________________________________
Both girls looked at each other and the back to Dante and Rocker and said together "Like you have to ask! Of course we're in! Bring it on!"
-
"Yeah. C'mon we'll...Darn it, Dante!"
Lady looked around, then muttered...
"Just like him...taking my motorcycle...he better not have wrecked it..."
___________________________________________________________________
"Cool. I'll go get us some grub. Rocker, come give me a hand!"
Dante said, a smile illuminationg his face...
-
Hunter giggled and said "Knowing him Lady...you'd better have insurance on that thing." She then looked to Sieg and asked "Do you happen to know how we can hitch a ride?"
___________________________
Rocker nodded and said "I'd be happy to...come on I'll lead you to the cafeteria for the food...it's better than most TV shows make it out to be!"
-
Sieg thought for a moment, then grinned as he said...
"Well...I can use a teleport spell. It works much better than Tex's version, I can assure you..."
He chuckled....
____________________________________________________________________
"Well, it had better be. Hey, do you guys have Strawberry Sundaes? 'Cause it's not a party without them!"
Dante laughed, glad to see everyone so happy...
-
Hunter chuckled and said "Well the faster you get us there...the better your reward will be." She then gave him a sly smile and looked over to Lady and asked
"If this spell of his works...wanna come along?"
-
Lady nodded quickly, then said...
"Here goes... Sieg, if this doesn't work... I swear you'll regret it."
Sieg nodded, then placed his hand on Hunters, and his other hand on Lady's shoulder.
"Ready then? Here goes nothing..."
He then began to chant in a strange, arcane tongue, and a warm light began to swirl around the group, a gentle wind rising around them...
-
During the spell, Hunter couldn't help but giggle....the spell was tickling her belly and she just couldn't stop laughing as she stuttered "S-Sieg...h-hurry up! This is torture...hahahah...."
____________________________
Rocker was just pushing open the door to the cafeteria when he stopped and looked ahead.
He then asked "Dante...what...is THAT?!" as he pointed to a wall of white light forming in front of them.
-
A moment later, the trio disappeared, the light where they were standing fading...
____________________________________________________________________
Dante looked at the wall of light, then grinned.
"Rocker, you're about to meet my friends, I think. They'll be here...now."
As he said the last word, Sieg, Hunter, and Lady appeared, stepping out of the light.
"Hello Dante."
Sieg said, grinning, still holding Hunter's hand...
-
Hunter had to admit...while she was glad the teleportation worked as she reappeared inside the hospital, but she had to voice her opinion "that was the weirdest trips I've ever been on...my outsides are freezing, but my insides are burning up....like I've been microwaved or something!"
Rocker was indeed impressed. Of course as the light faded he put on a generous smile and said "Welcome, welcome, we are about to have a party, would you three like to help us set up? We've got several types of cake, and ice cream!"
-
Sieg nodded.
"Yeah, that seems to be a side effect of the transfer spell. Oh, and...um...Why is there a party?"
He then walked over to Rocker, extended his hand, and asked...
"My name's Sieg Warheit. You are?"
-
Hunter smiled and said "Well that's alright as long as you feel it too."
Rocker took Siegs hand and replied "The names Rocker Stonetooth." He then said in his mind 'related to that sicko killer...I hate him!' However his eyes narrowed as he finished his thought without realizing it.
Hunter then asked "Yeah, a party..I can defiantly get down with that!"
-
Sieg nodded, then turned towards Dante.
"You never answered my original question. What's this party for?"
Dante opened his mouth to speak, but Lady cut him off, asking...
"Dante! Did you total my cycle again? If you did, then it's going on your tab. Which I do expect you to pay up on soon..."
-
Rocker laughed as he said "Well it's not completely totaled miss. I did managed to get my friends in the parking garage to take care of it and fix it up, I can take you there after the party is over!"
Rocker then said "Well the party is for a revival...Don't worry, you'll all see what I mean once the party starts! Now come on...the others must be getting tired of waiting."
In the Cyro room
Tex frowned and said "This is taking way too long...I'm thinking of storming up there and getting the food myself!"
Hex on the other hand chuckled and said "Slow down sis...they said they'd be right back...just give them a few more minutes...I'm sure all that food is heavy for just the two of them."
-
"Well then, let's not keep Tex's sister waiting!"
Sieg said, moving to go pick up some food...
-
Hunter who was caught off guard by what Sieg had just said and asked "Wait...what are you talking about? I thought her sister died in some accident...how would you know about her? I haven't told you?"
-
Sieg sighed, then looked at the ground.
"To be honest, I knew because the cult was planning to...invite the two of them to join us. Then Hex disappeared, presumed dead, and no trace could be found of Tex, either. That was shortly before I left them."
He said, looking away...
-
Hunter was a little bit upset, but that was only because he used to work for the enemy, she then reached over and kissed Sieg and said "Well, I'm glad to see that you kept your knowledge of the enemy intact...that could prove useful when we have to fight again."
Rocker then tried to stifle a laugh as he watched Hunter kissing Sieg, but failed as he continued walking over to the refrigerator and grabbing two barrels full of ice cream. He then asked "When you two lovebirds are done, could you grab a cake or something and help out." He then continued laughing.
-
Sieg grinned, then nodded, kissed Hunter back, and grabbed a cake and a bottle of soda.
"Right. So, Dante? What was wrong with Tex?"
-
Before Dante could answer Rocker said "Heh...you'll see when we get back to the room, but I gotta say, you WILL be surprised! All of you!"
He then walked out the door and back towards the room with his two barrels of ice cream.
-
Sieg looked at Hunter, shrugged, then grabbed a cake and followed Rocker. Dante grabbed a couple of bottles of root beer, and one bottle of strawberry soda before following the others...
-
Hunter just shrugged her shoulders and picked up another cake and a bottle of milk and followed the others out of the doors.
Rocker who was ahead shouted back "We're going into the next room on the right, thrid door down the hall."
-
Dante nodded, following Rockers direction to the room, then slid the door open, seeing...
"Tex?"
He gasped...
-
Tex smiled lightly as she noticed Dante walking into the room, as she was still holding her baby in her arms she simply said "Hi. how ya doing?"
-
Dante smirked.
"Better, now that I'm back with you, babe."
He quipped, grinning.
"Oh, and Hunter and Sieg are here too, and they're anxious to see you."
He said, almost teasingly to his mate...
-
Tex smiled brightly and looked shocked as she said "So, they made it here huh?! Cool, they get to meet the new addition to our family!"
Hex on the other hand growled as she walked over and snatched some of the food Dante was carrying and shouted "It's about time! I'm starving over here! I didn't spend five years in cryo so you could make me wait for some real food!"
-
Dante put the food down on a nearby table, then shrugged and said.
"Calm down, Hex. It's not everyday you see a group of friends teleporting into a building right in front of you. Besides, I got the good stuff, right?"
Sieg stepped into the room next, placed his food on the table, and then walked over to Hex, extending his hand warmly.
"You must be Hex, right? It's good to finally get to meet you in person."
He looked over at Tex next, and then his jaw dropped...
-
Tex looked over and asked "What, you act like you've never seen a baby before Sieg. And before you ask....yes this little bundle of joy is mine...well, ours." She said looking over to Dante.
Hunter walked in next and seeing Sieg's face she looked over and did the same motion, as he jaw dropped. She then stuttered "W-wow....I knew you were due...but well...that's just sweet." Hunter puts down her food and drinks and coos at the Diva and Diva in return giggles and grips Hunters finger and squeezes until a faint pop is heard.
Tex just giggled and said "Well, she likes you...but you may want Rocker check that out."
Hunter nodded just as Rocker walked into the room and he smiled as he said "Well I see you two met the newest addition to your family...so how does it feel?"
Hex had her mouth full of cake as she mumbled something along the lines of yes, but then she coughed and sputtered out "Wait...what...they teleported?!"
-
Sieg grinned at Hex, then nodded.
"We did. Might I add that the spell technique I used worked slightly better than Tex's invention. Oh, and congratulations you two. What's her name?"
He asked Tex.
Dante just walked over to Tex, wrapping an arm around her shoulders and beaming...
-
Tex was blushing with pride and joy as she stuttered "Her name...is...is Diva. And Dante and I are going to raise her right."
Rocker was happy that the party was about to begin, but he couldn't shake the feeling that he was going to be paid a family visit very soon.
Hex then came out of the bathroom as pale as ice as she said "I...I think someone is here...I don't know him, but he....was looking through the window at me....and..." She paused for a moment as she noticed Rocker...."He looked like you Rocker!"
"Oh crap." muttered Rocker as he knew who she was talking about.
-
Dante swore quietly under his breath, reaching for his handguns. Sieg too took up a ready stance, his hand sliding to the grip of his revolver as he looked towards the bathroom door.
"Killer. If he's here...Then...there might be even more cultists around. Be on guard, everyone..."
Sieg said, eyes narrowing...
-
Hex blushed as she said "No! He's alone...don't ask how I know...just call it women's intuition...but he's alone...and I think he wants to see you Rocker...and me."
Rocker looked over and said "Why you? He wouldn't even know who you are."
Hex shrugged and said "I don't know, but the way he was looking at me just said come."
Rocker turned to Dante and Sieg and asked "What do you two think?"
-
Sieg shook his head.
"Well...I suppose we can at least give him the benefit of the doubt. But I still don't trust him."
Dante, on the other hand, was vhemently against the idea.
"Helloo? He's tried to kill us, remember? I say we shoot him and be done with it. But that's just me. Do what you want."
-
Hex thought it over for a moment and sighed as she said "I don't think it's a good idea either, but right now we don't have a choice...I say we do it."
Rocker thought about it...and sighed as he said "Alright we'll do it...but if he so much as looks at you the wrong way Hex, I'll kill him myself!" He then slammed his fist into his open palm for emphasis.
-
Sieg and Dante both nodded, and they walked into the bathroom with the others. Sieg narrowed his eyes faintly, asking...
"Killer. Why are you here? What exactly do you want?"
Dante, however, reacted less calmly. He drew one of his pistols and placed it squarely against Killer's head.
"Start talking. Now, before I decide to make your head have some new ventilation"
Sieg stepped over to Dante, pushing the barrel of his gun down, giving him a warning glare...
-
Killer didn't answer at first...he just continued to stare at Hex and Rocker. he then gave his brother a wicked smile and said "Well brother still trying to help the weak and useless huh?"
Hex however stepped forward and slapped Killer across the face as she replied "I'm not weak! I should slap you again for pepping at me!"
Killer just smiled again and said "So you'd give me another show?"
Hex at that moment punched Killer in the face and pushed his head down into a toilet and held it there for several seconds before pushing the flush handle and draining the water.
"Had enough?" asked Hex with a smirk.
-
Dante and Sieg looked at each other, startled at Hex's outburst, then Dante shook his head and said...
"Okay, that's it. I'm gonna shoot him. Any objections?"
-
Hex looked behind her and said "Don't even think of wasting your ammo! I've got this one covered!"
She then reached behind the toilet and pulled forth a .45 Colt magnum and held it to Killers head. She then said "Are you really ready to die fool?"
Killer just smirked and decided to drop a bomb shell..."That baby your sister is holding Hex...is my daughter too! Kill me and she losses her biological father!"
Hex however just scowled and said "YOU LIE!!!" She readied the gun by pulling back on the hammer and putter her finger around the trigger.
Rocker at that point said "Hex wait....he's telling the truth...I delivered little Diva, Killer really is the father."
-
Dante looked at Killer, his eyes narrowed, his knuckles white on his pistol grips.
"You sonofa...You had better be grateful I'm not going to take Deva's real father from her, or you'd be dead right now."
Sieg had drawn his revolver as well, steadying it towards Killer.
"Why are you here? You haven't answered the question yet."
He said, eyes narrowed faintly...
-
Killer's face became pale pretty quick as he said "Look...I'm on the wrong end of way too much fire power...I'd rather not piss any of you off...so I'm here...to see the family...I always knew it was only a matter of time before Tex gave birth...I just didn't know when...and now that she has...I want to see my child...is that really so hard to ask for?"
Hex then fired a bullet into the floor and said "Maybe it is...maybe I just don't like you!"
Rocker then muttered under his breath "Wouldn't be the first time..."
-
Dante simply looked at him, doubtful, but slowly relaxed his grip on his guns.
"Alright, fine. Just don't try anything funny, and I won't have to use these."
he said, wary about trusting a cultists with his new family...
Sieg looked at Killer, then asked a question that he had been turning over in his mind for some time.
"Killer...Are you planning to go back to the cult? After all, you have your daughter and her family to think about now. It's not too late, if you choose..."
-
Almost without thinking Killer blurted out "Oh please like you losers could ever get me to join your little rag tag group...I'm getting paid after all. I'm here to see my daugher...can I see her please?"
However just as Hex was about to remove the gun from Killers head she frowned and asked "Wait...this is way too easy..." she then looked around and noticed something..."Where's Hunter?!"
-
Dante glared at Killer, his hand curling into a fist, as he had holstered his pistols.
"So you're saying that money is more important to you then your own family? You really are messed up in the head, you monster..."
Sieg, when he heard Hex's question, begun looking around in a panic.
"Wha? She was here not a moment ago, I swear! Where'd she go..."
His eyes narrowed, and he raised his gun at Killer.
"What happened to Hunter?"
-
Hex then muttered "Everyone quiet!" As she listened footsteps could be heard and suddenly Hunter appeared in the doorway with a stunned look on her face as she said "I go the bathroom for two minutes and you guys decided to have a gun battle with Killers face....cool!"
Hex breathed a sigh of relieve as Tex joined behind Hunter with Deva in her hands sleeping soundly. "My my....quite the party you have here."
-
Sieg relaxed his grip on the pistol, lowering it as hey eyed Killer.
"Hey, Hunter. Yeah, Killer here was giving us some...trouble, so we're just making sure he doesn't cause any more."
Dante muttered under his breath...
"Speak for yourself. I really wish he could just die and be done with it..."
-
((OOC: Killer is about to pull a Darth Vader...just read and see! ;) ))
As killer's eyes set on his daughter Deva, he couldn't help but let a smile cross his face. He then let a tear slide down his cheek, as he stepped towards Tex and Deva.
Hex stepped aside, but didn't lower her gun which was still trained on Killers head.
Killer stopped in front of Tex and looked her in the eyes and said "I...I can't explain..."
Tex just sighed and said "here...hold her for a moment." handing over with great reluctance Deva who was still sleeping soundly. But the moment she was shifted into her biological fathers arms she opened her eyes and blinked as she looked upon Killers face.
She the spit up in his face and laughed.
Tex smiled and said "well...she doesn't hate you...at least not yet."
Just then a gunshot rang out amongst the goup...and immediately Hunter, Tex, Hex and Killer all looked down to see Deva's hand on the trigger of Killer's pistol.
While the gun had discharged where the bullet struck was more importatnt, as a gaping red hole could be seen in both Killer and Hunter's chest.
Killer then handed Deva back to Tex, who was crying as she checked over her child and gave a sigh when she was found unharmed.
But then Hunter and Killer both fell to the ground still bleeding.
-
Sieg panicked when he saw Hunter fall, and he immediately was at her side, ripping of his gloves as he knelt beside her. He turned towards Rocker, looking at him for a moment before he said...
"Alright... Do you trust me? I can heal Hunter, and maybe even Killer, but I'm going to need your help afterwards. So again, do you trust me?"
Dante had gone between Hunter and Killer, and knelt, again feeling waves of helplessness overwhelm him...
-
Rocker would've responded but his mouth was filled with a medical case, and three more in each hand. He chose to muffle out a "Mhguhg"
Tex only held Deva tighter to her and cried harder seeing one of her friends in pain on the floor. Deva apparently getting the subconscious message that something was wrong began to cry as well.
Hunter groaned in pain...as it was she hadn't slipped into unconsciousness yet...and she muttered out..."S-Sieg...k-k-kill...that...bastard....AFTER...y...you heal....us....both..." It was then that she passed out from the pain.
Tex immediately put her pistol down and asked Sieg and Rocker "What can I do to help?"
-
Sieg grimly shook his head.
"Right now, you'll have to ask Rocker. Just keep an eye on me and the others. This might drain more of my energy than I hope, and if it does, try to move my hands off of them, alright"
He then reached into a pocket of his coat, drawing a thin dagger. He cut both of his thumbs, using the blood to draw a line down his arm. Placing one hand on Hunter, and the other on Rocker, he began to chant...
Dante had joined in the attempt to help, grabbing one of the medical kits from Rocker and tending to the wounds...
-
Hex looked at Rocker and Dante as she knelt beside them both and helped covering the wounds as well. After several moments both bullet wounds were covered, but had yet to stop bleeding and as a result Tex sat Deva in the bathtub, then ran over to the toilet and guffawed.
Hex would've joined her but her need to help and aide her friends made losing her lunch all but impossible. She then put pressure on Hunter's wound as Rocker did the same with Killer, and then Hex asked "Are you gonna heal them or what Sieg? Any day now would be great!"
-
Sieg nodded again, not breaking his chant.
"Here goes...Healing Art! Grand Reviving Blood!"
The blood marks on his arms glowed as he laid his hands on Hunter and Killer's wounds. Almost immediately, blood started returning to the wounds, slowly sealing them...
-
Hex and Tex were amazed...and they were momentarly blinded by the bright light. Tex then smiled and said "Lood Dante...it's amazing. Hunter's going to be okay!"
Hex then asked "What about Killer?" Tex looked irritated as she commented "Yeah..him too."
-
Dante nodded at Tex, eyes brightening.
"Yeah. It's...wonderful. I like this group how it is, and...I don't wanna lose anyone. Not as long as there's any way I can keep it from happening..."
Just as the wounds sealed fully, Sieg's body seemed to give an involuntary shudder, then he collapsed on the floor, his breathing labored as his arms started to bleed and a strange mark appeared over the side of his face...
-
As Sige fell and almost as a reflex action Hunter reached out and grasped Siegs hand in her own and began to cry even while she was still asleep from her wounds. Tex and Hex ran over as Rocker asked "Waht is that weird mark on his face?"
Tex shook her head and replied "I don't know, but i don't like it."
-
With his last vestiges of consciousness, Sieg managed to grip Hunter's hand as he fell into the abyss...
Dante looked at the new mark on Sieg's face, eyes narrowing.
"This is...This is a curse-type seal. I'm not sure what it does, or why it showed up, but it sure as heck isn't a good sign."
-
Tex sighed and said "Then what can we do...I'm sure he'd have to be awake to make that go away...as far as I can remember about Crused seals."
Rocker sighed and said "I do have some medicine that should get that mark to dissipate, but it might not work...it's over two decades old."
-
Dante nodded.
"It's worth a shot. We have to keep Sieg with us!"
-
Rocker smiled and said "Well luckily for us...every med kit is equipped with one vial of the stuff...but I think I should be the one to administer it." He then pulled out one of the syringes that held the concotion, and looked at it for a moment lost in it's golden, amber color. He then pushed the needle directly into Sieg's wounds and pushed down injecting the syrum into him...he then stood and said "We need to get him onto a bed in the other room."
Hex and Tex were already picking him and Hunter off the floor, as Rocker walked over and picked up killer as well, while still holding Deva in his arms.
-
Dante walked over to Rocker, casually picking up Killer with his right hand.
"Watch it Rocker. That's my girl you're holding there. I'll take this guy off your hands, alright?"
-
Rocker smiled and said "Sure...thanks for the help. You really will make a good father...although...after seeing the look in his eyes...I do wonder what Killer will want to do with Deva as well."
-
Dante smiled a little.
"Thanks pal. And if I know Killer, he probably has nothing good in mind for Deva."
He chuckled...
-
Rocker smiled but then said "I wouldn't be laughing if I were you...if Killer really is serious about being with his biological daughter....then...there isn't anything I can do about it. He may go so far as to deny you AND Tex the right to see Deva. It's not likely...but still better safe than sorry right?"
Outside the bathroom Hunter was starting to come around...she again squeezed Sieg's hand and gave a small smile before taking a deep breath.
-
Dante nodded.
"If he does, I'll kill him myself. Deva means to much to me to let go of that easily."
Sieg felt Hunter's hand squeeze his, as his mind slowly regained conciousness...
-
Tex smiled as she saw Hunter squeezing Sieg's hand. She then looked over to Killer and frowned wondering just what he was really doing here.
Almost as if reading her thoughts Hex placed a hand on her sisters shoulder and said "Don't worry I'm sure everything will work out for the best. You'll see!"
Tex laughed and replied "Always the optimist arent' you sis?"
"Yep." was Hex's only reply.
Rocker then smiled and said "But for all we know he may join our little...uhh...unique family." he then chuckled at his words.
-
Dante smirked at Hex, Rocker, and Tex.
"Who knows? If he does, that's alright...I guess..."
-
Rocker was about to respond to Dante when he noticed something impressive...
Hunter out of fear, and mostly adrenaline shot up in her bed, her eyes wide, and her forehead dripping with sweat, and her breathing was slightly labored. But after a few seconds it returned to normal and she looked around before asking, "W-what happened?"
Tex smiled as she said "Welcome back to the world of the living." Hunter then looked shocked as she said "Was...was I dead?!"
Hex giggled and said "No..but you sure gave me a scare! Actually if you need to blame anyone...blame Killer, and Deva...Killer left the safety on his gun off, and Deva kinda pulled the trigger."
Hunter looked over to see Killer in an opposite bed and smiled as she asked, "Is he dead yet?"
-
Sieg sat up next, the black markings fading as he stirred.
"What just happened? Last I remember, I was using a healing spell on Hunter and Killer, and now I'm here? How did that happen?"
He asked, groggily shaking his head...
-
Hunter smiled and kissed Sieg on the cheek as she whispered into his ear, "You saved me...again. I believe that is deserving of a much better reward, than just a kiss. Once we're able to walk...let's find a private room..shall we?"
Rocker was laughing as he heard Sieg's question and just said "Well, yeah you healed them alright...but this black marking showed up on your face...it was weird, but we happen to have medicine to counteract that particular curse...I could give you some if you'd like for free."
Killer then at that point began to stir as well and he opened one of his eyes to see Tex holding Deva and again he just smiled as it seemed Deva was the only one looking in his direction.
-
Sieg nodded.
"The cultists curse mark. They knew that I was a specialist in healing arts, and so they made the seal to activate every time I used such an art. It... Well, let's just say that I'm glad you got that serum to me."
He then turned to Hunter, kissing her back and whispering...
"That sounds...wonderful, my love..."
-
Rocker nodded understanding what Sieg meant. "A tracker. Should've know, Stupid cultist gotta ruin everything...even medicine...bastards." He then smiled and said, "You and Hunter can have my office suit... its on the fifth floor, with a butt load of security measures...for those...'extra special' moments." He winked at the pair and said "Good luck."
Deva then giggled and laughed as Killer made another face at her getting everyones attention. Rocker sighed and said, "I'll check him...I'm the doctor after all."
-
Sieg grinned at Hunter, a mischevious sparkle in his eyes.
"What do you say...Hunter? Should we wait a moment so we're in a little better shape, or just go now and have our...fun?"
Dante looked over at Killer, raising an eye ridge.
"So, you're still among the living. Glad to see it, Killer..."
-
Hunter being the even implusive one...grabbed Sieg by the arm, and took the key to the suit off the nearby table and slipped out of the room as quietly as possible and as soon as she was sure they were alone, Hunter took off running...towards the elevator and she giggled as she pressed the button calling the elevator down to the first floor.
Killer smiled and said "thanks, glad to be alive...oh yeah almost forgot." He reached for his pistol, and before anyone could stop him...he threw it out the open window. He gave a sigh of releive that said a great weight had been lifted from his heart. He then looked over to Dante and said "I'd be honored if you watched after Deva for me."
Tex and Hex both looked stunned as they saw and heard what Killer had just said. Tex then commented "Rocker check him...does he have a fever or a concussion?"
Rocker put a hand to Killers forehead and smiled as he replied, "Nopt he's just fine...thinking clearly I would say."
Killer then nodded his head and asked "I know I've made some mistakes, but...well I was hoping...to..join...you guys?"
-
Sieg followed Hunter's lead with nearly as much energy as she had, catching her in a passionate kiss when he caught up to her by the elevator...
Dante walked over to Killer, a faint smile on his face.
"Y'know... I thought you'd say something like that. Sieg said that there was still something redeemable about you, so...Welcome to the group."
Just then, a small knock at the door startled them...
-
Hunter blushed violently as Sieg kissed her, but she smiled anyway as the Elevator door opened she stepped inside she noticed an open box of Cheesecake sitting on a cart. She smiled brighter and said "So, we get some good food to boot...I like this place!"
~~~~
Killer smiled and said "Thanks." Tex and Hex both scowled at Killer and Hex once more pointed her pistol at his head. "Don't even think about it."
Killer looked stunned and asked "What did I do?"
Hex grinned and said "Well, considering you did try to kill me you think I'm just going to let you sit here and...join us...yeah right!"
-
Sieg smiled mischieviously at Hunter.
"Oh. Is that so? Well, I think you'll like what I have in store for you even better..."
Dante placed his hand on Hex's pistol, pointing it away from Killer.
"Look, Hex. I know you're angry at him but... Wait, he tried to kill you?"
He asked, looking at her curiously...
-
Hunter was looking at the cheesecake with a quizical look, almost as if there was something wrong. She looked at Sieg and asked "Does this seem almost too good? I mean...that cheesecake is just...wrong...I can't explain it."
~~~~
Hex glared and said "yeah...but the keyword in that sentence was TRY. He tried to kill me...once...he missed...and I broke his arm. But now it's time for some vengance!" She then put her pistol down and pulled out a hunting knife and let it gleam in the light.
-
Sieg nodded.
"Yeah. It does seem rather...odd that it would just be sitting here. Not suspicious in the least."
He chuckled...
Dante looked at Hex, then turned his gaze towards his mate, asking...
"Should we be doing something right about now, Tex?"
-
Hunter was tempted to eat the cake just to see what would happen, but she couldn't place a finger on it...like this had happened before. She then smiled and said "Tex...rhymes with sex....cute." With that she plunged her hand into the dessert ripping out a huge chunk and smiled as she gave it a small lick...and when she figured she wasn't dead...moved on to eating it.
"Yummy." was her response, of course she wasn't going to say that there was a bad cheesecake in the world...not yet.
~~~~
Tex smiled and whispered to Dante "Don't worry watch."
At that moment Hex raised the knife above her head...and stopped as she began to shake...and dropped the knife to the floor. She then turned around and hugged Tex who returned the loving embrace.
Hex then cried "Why...why can't I ever do it...I can never finish the job..." Tex smiled and said 'Because you're stronger than I am...and I'm proud of you for it."
-
Sieg grinned as Hunter tore into the cheesecake. He looked at it a second longer, than grabbed a small piece and took a bite.
"Wow. This is good..."
He said, sounding awed...
_________________________________________________________________________
Dante nodded.
"Tex's right. It takes more strength to forgive someone and to let them live than it does to give in to your anger and kill them."
He said, as the door to the room suddenly opened...
"You would know that, wouldn't you...Brother. You showed me that...the last time we dueled. I've done some thinking, and...well, like Killer...I would be honored to aid your cause however I can. To make amends for my past sins..."
Virgil said, standing in the doorframe...
Now it was Dante's turn to react poorly. In a flash, he drew his sword, levelling it at Virgil, eyes narrowed.
"Why should we trust you? You've never exactly given me any reason to, nor have you given me any reason to not run you through right now..."
He said coldly...
-
Hunter after eating the first bite of her piece of cheesecake, she felt...lightheaded, but in a good way. She smiled as placed her hand over where her bullet wound was and kissed Sieg with a passion she didn't even know she had.
~~~~
Rocker gave a sigh and said aloud..
"I'd like to point out that I'm a doctor...not a surgeon so if anything happens to get hacked off...like an arm...chances are...it ain't going back on."
Tex gave a glare at a Virgil, however as she was about to reply, Killer spoke up. "Uhhh...you really shouldn't kill him...he's the whole reason I'm here...he..kinda gave me a lift."
Hex then broke the hug with her sister and while still shedding tears ran over and hugged Virgil as she said "I...don't know...but...I feel as if...I just know you somehow...like from a dream or something."
-
Sieg had eaten less of the cheesecake than Hunter, so he was slightly less affected, but his head was also buzzing pleasantly. He retruned her kiss with equal passion, wrapping his one arm around her head, drawing her closer.
_________________________________________________________________________
Dante slowly lowered his sword, looking at Virgil.
"Well, I guess this is what they'd call irony, huh? We're brothers, and we both brought one of Deva's parents to the hospital. Funny, in a way..."
Dante said, sounding almost confused...
Virgil, however, paid him little heed. He was hugging Hex back, though he could scarcely explain why. It was, as she had said, like he had seen her before in a dream.
"Shhh...it's okay. There's no need to cry now..."
He whispered gently...
-
Hunter after several moments broke the kiss, finally realizing she needed air to breath. She smiled as the doors to the elevator opened and down the hall was a bright red door with a heart and a syringe through it.
"Well...everything is going to be good now!" said Hunter with a laugh
~~~~
Hexsobbed once more and then looked up as she heard Tex laughing her head off at Dante's comment. Hex while still embraced in Virgils arms asked "What is so funny sis?"
Tex smiled and said "Yes...that comment was funny!" She turned to Dante and asked "Have you ever though of being a comidian? You'd be great at it."
Rocker just sighed, and held his head as he said "Oh dear lord...I'm grouped with a bunch of lovesick and un funny people...one of whom who is addicted to cheesecake."
-
"Indeed they will. Shall we, my love?"
Sieg said, offering her his arm gently...
_________________________________________________________________________
"Hey! What do you mean, 'un funny?' You know that was a good joke!"
Dante spluttered...
-
Hunter smiled and took Sieg's arms in hers and slowly led them towards the door when she felt warm...really warm. the kind that meant only two things...one she was crazy in love...or something was wrong....and it seemed to be both as she kissed Sieg and then slumped against the door as she said, "I want what Tex has...I want a child." and fell into a sleep.
~~~~
Rocker said "Oh yeah...you guys are SO not funny."
Tex smiled and said "Well Deva seems to think we're funny!"
Hex smiled back at Virgil and asked "Why do you look so familiar to me...I can't seem to place why." She then blushed as she asked "Do you know me?"
-
Sieg nodded.
"Yeah...That'll be nice...Hunter?"
He noticed that she had fallen asleep, and he smiled a little as he picked her up in his arms...
"<Sigh> Hunter..."
He murmured as he carried her inside the door...
_________________________________________________________________________
Virgil nodded at Hex, seemingly lost in thought for a moment.
"I...Now I remember. You saved my life once. I had fought a man, named Arkham, and lost. Badly. I was lying in the street bleeding, and you came and managed to patch me up enough that I lived... That's why I know you, Hex..."
He said, at length...
-
Hunter smiled and giggled as Sieg carried her over the door way. She then said in her sleep "Let's go on the tunnle of love...it looks like fun. My love."
~~~~~
Hex thought about it for a moment and then it returned in a flash.
"It....it was raining that night. I remember...I wasn't sure I was able to help you....but...to my surprise you pulled through....and here we are again."
Hex then smiled and asked "So you wanna join our group huh?? I guess that'd be okay."
Tex then stepped forward and said "Now wait just a minute Hex...if Dante says he can't trust Virgil here then we cant trust him!"
Hex immediately backed up and drew her pistol as Tex did the same thing...and just like that the two loving sisters were in an old fashioned face off.
Rocker just sighed aloud and sat in a chair waiting for this new development to end.
-
Sieg smiled at Hunter, placing her gently on a sofa in the room as he kissed her on her lips gently.
_________________________________________________________________________
Dante looked at Virgil, then sighed and said...
"Well, I guess I better ask why you came here. Before these two end up shooting each other. What prompted you and Killer's sudden changes of heart?"
Virgil looked over at the two sisters pointing guns at each other, then back at Dante, calmly responding...
"It was a coup. Delacroix recruited Arkham and another being to usurp Damien from the power of the cult, and killed him. I knew, as do you, what Arkham wants, and he cannot be allowed to obtain it. I also saw the true face of the honorless cult. That is my reason."
He then looked at Hex and Tex again, a small grin on his face.
"They remind me of us, back then, don't they you, Dante?"
He asked...
-
Hunter smiled as she felt Sieg kissing her, and she opened her eyes and slowly wrapped her arms around her one true love. She then held broke the kiss and said "Hey...so what have I missed? Besides your handsome face?"
~~~~
Tex and Hex were still standing in their face off when a hissing sound could be heard in the room. Both sisters looked over to see Rocker with a face mask on and what looked like a handle in his hand.
The handle was blowing out a pink mist, while Rocker was laughing. Hex then asked "What is that?"
Tex however didn't stick around to find out, as she dropped her gun and gave Rocker a roundhouse kick to the face, knocking the dr. out cold. "Idoit." commented Tex under her breath.
Hex looked confused as she put her gun down and asked "And the purpose of that was....what?"
-
Sieg smiled back at Hunter.
"You didn't miss much. Just me bringing you in here...my love."
_________________________________________________________________________
Dante shook his head.
"Either Rocker was getting high on something else, or he was trying to gas us. Either way, good thing Tex knocked him out."
Virgil nodded.
"Oh. I get it."
-
Hunter smiled and said "Well then...let's not let this room go to waist. Shall we?" She then nodded her head towards the door that led to the bedroom and gave Sieg a sly smile.
~~~~
A moan came from the floor as Rocker said "I was trying to see if I could combine knockout gas with water...I didn't think it would get me kicked in the head though."
Hex just smiled and said "You should've said something...we might not have done it then."
Tex just smile and asked "What are you talking about 'we' I was the one doing the kicking." Both Tex and Hex just giggled as did Deva.
Then Killer asked while sitting up "What do we do now?"
-
Sieg nodded.
"We shall..."
He said, following her towards the bedroom...
_________________________________________________________________________
Dante sighed, rolling his eyes somewhat.
"Now...We wait for Hunter and Sieg to get...umm...finished up, up there..."
-
Hunter only being in a hospital gown smiled as she slid off the sofa and opened the door to the bedroom, only to gasp at the site: A fully integrated mirrored ceiling, a mini fridge, and a King size bed...easily five times it's normal size.
Hunter gave a low whistle as she said "i don't know who paid for this...but's its going to good use now!"
She then untied the knot holding the gown closed and slipped under the covers before sliding the gown off her body and smiled.
~~~~
Killer looked confused as he asked "Wait...for what? What could they possibly be doing?"
Tex and Hex just laughed harder at the comment and said "Some one wanna...explain...."
-
Sieg quickly removed his jacket, then slid into the bed beside Hunter, undoing his shirt and trousers as he did so...
_________________________________________________________________________
Dante looked at Tex.
"Umm...You wanna take this one? If not, I guess I can..."
Virgil had a look on his face of someone who had just realized something unpleasant, as he said...
"Please tell me it's not what I think it is..."
-
Tex smiled as she said "Well..what do you think it is?"
Hex just continued to giggle, while Killer sighed with a blush on his face as he figured it out.
Rocker smiled and said "Well...I'll tell you this much...if they Sieg and Hunter pull it off...they may just wind up like Tex and Dante over here."
-
Virgil shook his head.
"What do you...Dante?"
He said, giving his brother a look...
"What? I didn't do anything...well, not on my own will...at least not yet..."
Dante stammered...
-
Hunter smiled as Sieg climbed into the bed, she then said "So, remind me again...which gender is supposed to 'dominate' the boy or the girl?"
~~~~~~~
Tex smiled and said "Don't worry Virgil, Dante hasn't gotten that far yet."
Hex then walked over to Virgil and poked him as she whispered in his ear "I'd like to see how far you're willing to go though." She then walked away laughing at how much fun she was having.
Killer just sighed and held Deva while she slept in his arms. "Ya know...I'm really lucky. I never thought I'd live long enough to have son or daughter, I should be thanking you Tex."
Rocker sighed as he sat down once more and bit into one of the many cookies still sitting on the plate. He then asked "I thought we were going to have a party...ya know to celebrate Deva?"
-
Sieg smiled back at her as he replied...
"Well, I guess that depends on what we want to do, doesn't it, Hunter?"
_________________________________________________________________________
Virgil had begun blushing a deep crimson at Hex's comment, his thoughts traveling in an entirely unwanted direction.
Dante noticed Virgil's reaction and he chuckled a little before he turned towards Rocker and said...
"Well, we were, but then there was this whole reunion thing and then Sieg and Hunter took off. Should we just start without them?"
-
Hunter giggled and said "Oh I think you know what I want to do....hehe.."
~~~~~~~
Rocker grinned and said "Now that's an idea!" He then jumped up and ran over to the cake and ice cream and started shoveling the stuff in his face with his hands not bothering with a spoon or bowl.
"Now this is the stuff!" said Rocker with a smile
Tex began to laugh at the ridiculous stunt before her. It was just priceless.
Hex had to laugh to...after giving Virgil a quick and soft peck on the cheek.
Killer was still preouccupied with Deva to join in on the laughter.
-
Sieg just kissed her on the cheek before responding...
"Oh...You know I do, my love..."
_________________________________________________________________________
Dante looked at Tex, then laughed, saying...
"Well, should we grab some, before Rocker over there eats it all or what?"
Virgil walked over to Killer's side and he placed a hand on his friends shoulder as he asked...
"Strange, isn't it? To go from shadow and darkness to this laughter, to this hope. Do you think... we can ever truly atone for our sins?"
-
Hunter giggled and slid further under the covers and began tickling Sieg's stomach to see if he was ticklish.
~~~~~~
Killer looked up from Deva's face and gave a bright smile as he said "Seeing my daughters eyes, and knowing she's safe...is all the redemption I'll ever need. I didn't think it was possible to feel so...happy in all my life...even the money I'm getting paid I still don't think is worth as much anymore."
He sighed again and said "She needs to grow up in a world without this cult...and it's up to all of us to make it happen."
Tex laughed and said "Yeah, that sounds like a very good idea. Let's get some cake and ice cream." She then walked over to where Rocker was still stuffing his face and pushed him aside and replied:
"I'm sorry, but others would like some food to ya know!"
-
Sieg laughed a little, then he started returning the tickling on Hunter.
_________________________________________________________________________
Virgil nodded.
"Indeed. We cannot allow our future to be marred by such evil as these cultists. From this day forth, I will dedicate my soul to their elimination. I suppose that, then we will stay with my brother and the others?"
Dante casually nudged past Rocker, quickly grabbing a bite of food for himself.
"Well...I guess this is to...To new beginnings!"
He said exuberantly, raising a cup of root beer in a toast...
-
Hunter however was far more ticklish then Sieg was and burst into a fit of laughter and began rolling around trying to get Sieg to stop, but she was too busy laughing and trying to breath to say anything. She only laughed harder as Sieg sped up tickling her belly.
~~~~~
Rocker laughed and said "That I can drink to!" he then picked up an unopened bottle of Root Beer, twisted the cap off and drank straight from the bottle.
Hex giggled and said "Having a little too much fun aren't you Rocker?"
The Dr, smiled and said "maybe I am...but last time I checked my wife told me to enjoy myself to death....and I think I'm doing a pretty good job!" He then shoved more cake into his mouth.
Killer smiled up at Virgil and said "No...we don't join their group...." He paused then then smiled even brighter than before as he said 'We join their family!"
-
Sieg was smiling as he teasingly asked Hunter...
"Had enough now, my love?"
_________________________________________________________________________
Dante laughed at Rocker's comment, then replied.
"Well, don't go and party to death too soon! We still haven't won yet!"
Virgil looked at Killer, then broke out into a smile, responding...
"Well, if that's the case...Shall we join the festivites?"
-
Hunter stopped for a moment to catch her breath and then said "Yes...i give...dear...Just let me catch my breath!" She took several moments to breath and then said "well...let's get started...shall we...after all we are already under the covers."
~~~~~~
Killer smiled and said "Yes, that sounds like a wonderful idea." he was careful when standing as he still had Deva in his hands. He then walked over to the others and asked "Does anyone know where I can find some warm milk for Deva, she may be-"
He was cut off however as Deva began to cry rather loudly.
Rocker laughed and said "Well...Tex...care for another demonstration?"
That question however got Rocker a quick smack across the face which brought a laugh out of Deva before she started crying again.
-
Sieg nuzzled Hunter affectionately, whispering in her ear...
"I was hoping you'd say that..."
_________________________________________________________________________
Dante looked at Rocker and sighed.
"Dude...By now you'd think you'd have learned your lesson. Guess some things aren't gonna change so easily..."
He said, a faint laugh coloring his speech...
Virgil sighed, then looked at Killer and spoke again.
"I'll go see about getting my...niece, I suppose...some milk. Can someone who knows this hospital show me where it is?"
He asked, in higher spirits then ever...
-
OOC: So do we just leave Sieg and Hunter to do their job...???
~~~~~~~~
Rocker smiled even while still on the floor and said "Ya got that right!"
He then laughed as well.
Tex however smiled and said "I've thought ahead and bottled some milk from the last time I fed her." She reached into a bag sitting on the floor and retrieved a baby bottle filled with milk, and Tex smiled as she felt the contents of Deva's bottle.
"Yep! Still warm awesome!"
Killer smiled and said "No need apparently. Tex is the smart one after all."
-
OOC: Probably a better idea. Don't wanna get in trouble, do we?
_________________________________________________________________________
Dante grinned at Rocker.
"Well, that might mean you wanna get used to getting smacked in the head then, pal!"
He laughed...
Virgil nodded.
"She certainly is prepared, at least. What do you say we let her take Deva for a moment while we get some food?"
Virgil asked Killer, grinning...
-
OOC: Works for me!
~~~~~~
"Yeah...I'm already getting lots of practice." said Rocker in reply as he laughed once more. He then stood up and smiled at the group around him.
Killer nodded as well.
He then handed over Deva to Tex who still held the bottle in her hand as she said "thank you."
Killer just smiled and said "Now for some of that cake and Root Beer!" just as he was walking away however Deva in a moment of childlike wonder bit down on Killers tail and refused to let go.
Killer was now screaming like a little girl as he tried slowly and carefully to get his daughter to let go of his tail.
-
Dante laughed, walking over to Deva and picking her up, gently nudging her mouth open, letting Killer's tail fall out.
"You better be careful. I think she has a taste for you!"
He laughed, holding his daughter...
Virgil couldn't help but laugh as Killer screamed in pain over such a small bite.
"Honestly, Killer. I've seen you take bullets, slashes and god knows what else, but you're screaming from a little one biting your tail? How things change..."
He smirked...
-
Killer sighed as he felt Deva's mouth letting go of his tail. He then smirked as he replied. "Yeah well...she has teeth in that mouth of hers...I'm just lucky she didn't put any force behind that bite, or I'd be in real trouble."
Tex nodded and said "Well...he is the biological father, maybe Deva is just evened the score."
Hex giggled as she tried taking a sip of punch and had to quickly spit it out from laughing too hard.
-
Dante let out a merry laugh, bringing Deva up to nuzzle her affectionately, but she instead clamped her mouth onto his nose.
"Ah. Ow...Owowowow! Help? Please?!"
Dante said, tugging gently on the little bundle of joy that was now attached firmly to his nose...
-
Tex couldnt' help but laugh at Dante and Deva.
She walked over to them and poked Deva on the head as she held out the bottle. Deva immediately turned around and clampped down on the bottle and began drinking. Tex replied "Well see, she just wanted some food. Too bad she was aiming in all the wrong places."
Hex giggled as she picked up a brownie and bit into it as she watched...her gaze shifted over to Virgil, and she found herself blushing.
-
Dante grinned at Tex.
"Wow...She already has teeth. And strong jaws, too."
He laughed...
Virgil saw Hex looking at him, and he returned the glance, blushing somewhat as well...
-
Tex laughed and said "Yeah, now she's something to be feared!"
Deva then burped as she finished her bottle and she giggled.
Hex blush deepened as she walked over and asked Virgil "Uhh...want to split...a root beer float?"
-
Dante chuckled.
"She may be, but it's kinda hard to take someone that adorable seriously."
Virgil grinned blushingly back at Hex, then he responded...
"Share a float...with you? I'd...love to."
He said...
-
Deva then tried in vain to struggle out of Tex's hands, but Tex did get the message and put the baby on the floor and watched as Deva crawled across the floor with joy.
"I always thought having a child would be burden, but with everyone here, and happy I think my life may just be perfect." said Tex aloud.
Hex stared at the floor for a moment and then said "well then, lets go. I've got the Root Beer if you get the ice cream Virgil."
-
Dante looked in awe as Deva crawled along the floor.
"She's learning pretty fast, huh Tex? Already crawling and all that..."
He said proudly...
Virgil grinned.
"All right. Let's go..."
He said, grabbing a small tub of Ice Cream from a nearby table...
-
Tex smiled and repleid...
"Yeah, she is. I couldn't be anymore proud than I am right now."
As Hex grabbed a bottle of Root Beer and one really big coffee mug she glanced over and noticed Rocker acting rather strange. She then asked:
"Hey doc, you okay? You look kinda nervous during a party like this...what's up?"
Rocker who for the last ten minutes had been pacing back and forth, with sweat beading down his face turned and said...
"Oh it's...ya know...business as usual."
Hex didn't look the least bit convinced as Rocker sighed and said
"Okay...I'm expecting a friend of mine...and if I've learned anything from you guys...my friend is going to probably come in through the window in about three seconds."
Sure enough three seconds later, the glass window next to the bathroom door exploded into shards and flew across the floor.
In place of the window was a cloaked figure, but the figure was horribly short...too short to be an adult by any standards, stood up and removed the hood covering their heads only for Rocker to go running over and picking up the apparent child in his arms and saying:
"Welcome back kiddo!"
-
From below the windowsill, a girl's voice called out...
"Hey! Y'know it's not cool to just leave me out here! Sieg? Tex? Anybody gonna see about giving me a hand?"
Arcia yelled, irritated that the kid that she had just brought there had just ditched her...
Virgil and Dante both looked at Rocker curiously.
"Um...Who is that exactly?"
The pair asked in unison...
-
Rocker turned with a shy smile on his face and said "Heh...this..is my daughter!"
The child in his arms said with a smile:
"Just call me Kiddo! I'm cool with that." Then as an after thought she said "Its nice to meet everyone!"
After hearing the voice from outside Kiddo bounded from Rockers arms and ran to the window and giggled as she replied:
"oops...sorry! Here grab the rope!"
A pink and rather recent looking rope was dropped from Kiddo's robe and she smiled as she turned and asked:
"Can I get some help here?"
-
Dante grabbed the rope, then pulled up as soon as he felt Arcia tug on it. A moment later, she stood in the room, a small smile on her face.
"Well, it's good to see everyone! Where are Sieg and...Oh. Let me guess. They're having some private fun, huh?"
She then smiled at Kiddo.
"Thanks for helping me get here! I don't know where I'd've been if you hadn't!"
She then jumped slightly in place, asking...
"So, um...what're we all doing?"
-
Rocker the picks up Kiddo who giggled as she said:
"Well it looks like a party! I love parties!"
Rocker laughed and said "Yep thats right we are having a party, but I do have one question Kiddo, why did you feel the need to come through the window? You know that was dangerous."
Kiddo smiled sheepishly as she said "Yeah I know, but it was fun!" She then turned to Arcia and said "No problem...besides you're the one with all the fighting experience, that and you've been training me...so I kinda owe you one!"
Hex smiled and said "So is there anyone else in this room with a family secret...cause I don't know how many more interruptions I can take...now if you'll excuse me...Virgil and I have a Root Beer float to share!" She then sat down and smiled at Virgil.
-
Arcia nodded.
"It's not a biggie! I'm just glad we found everyone!"
Virgil smiled at Hex, sliding down into his own seat, and he said...
"Well, I have one, but...that doesn't really matter now. Does it, Dante?"
He asked his brother, smiling...
-
Tex smiled at Virgils comment and said "I guess not."
Kiddo smiled and cried:
"Uncle K!" She then all but bulldozed Killer to the ground and gave him a bear hug.
Killer was smiling even as he was having a hard time breathing...apparently Kiddo had quite the iron grip. "Uhhh...Kiddo...can't...breath."
She then let go and stuttered "Sorry Uncle K."
Hex looked over and asked "Uncle K?"
Killer smiled and said "Another conversation for another day."
Kiddo then squealed as she ran over the table holding the ice cream and cake, and swiftly took a bowl and gathered what she wanted.
-
Dante smiled at Kiddo's enthusiasm.
"Well, it's good to meet the daughter of the guy who saved my life! Name's Dante. Dante S. Starfall. And that over there is..."
Virgil cut him off, introducing himself.
"And I'm his older brother, Virgil. It's good to meet you."
-
Kiddo smiled with a piece of cake in her mouth as she turned and tried to say hello, but all that came out was the chunk of cake that was in her mouth. She giggled nervously as Rocker stared at her.
Kiddo quickly picked up the cake she'd dropped and said "It's nice to meet you both!" She then looked over to Dante and asked "DId my dad really save your life?"
-
Dante nodded, pointing to the small scar above his right eye.
"Yep. See this? Someone I know shot me in the head, and your dad managed to get the bullet out. Left a bit of a scar, but, hey. I'm still alive, right?"
Virgil nodded.
"This someone wouldn't happen to be Arkham's daughter Mary, would it?"
The door popped open with some force, Lady having just kicked it open.
"Never. Say. That. Name. Around. Me!"
She fumed at Virgil, eye twitching somewhat...
-
After the 'greeting' if it could be called that by Lady. Everyone was a bit perpexed at what had just happened, and Hex was the first to ask:
"What...what's wrong with the name Mary...I think it's cute!"
Kiddo having no idea who Lady was immediately ran over to Dante and hid behind him in case something went wrong.
Tex just sighed and tired to quiet down Deva who had begun to cry after the door was 'gently' opened. Deva cried for a few moments but settled down when the room became quiet.
-
Dante shook his head.
"Good grief. Can you at least try for not scaring the living daylights out of everyone for once, Lady?"
Virgil looked a bit afraid as he mumbled an indistinct apology, before Lady spoke.
"Sorry about that. It's just that...that was the name my father gave me. My father, who happens to be with the Cult. Speaking of which..."
She drew two pistols, aiming at Virgil and Killer.
"What the hell are you two doing here?"
She menaced...
-
Kiddo, now being angry that her new friends were getting guns pointed at them, she ran forward and tackled Lady's legs hoping to bring her down. She then said "They are my friends...don't hurt them!"
Killer did the smart thing and backed up as he waited for a response from someone else in the room.
-
Lady fell heavily, guns sliding across the floor. Dante looked at the one next to his foot, then kicked it away, looking at Lady.
"Y'know, it's kinda rude to point guns at people you barely even know, Lady. I think you should be apologizing right about now..."
Lady gave an irritated growl, then muttered that she was sorry through clenched teeth.
Virgil looked at her, then shook his head.
"Still have the temper, eh, Lady?"
He asked, eye ridge raised...
Arcia looked around, then shook her head at the group and went to grab a bite of cake...
-
Just as Hex was going to reply Tex smiled and said:
"Well then Lady, I suggest you be a little nicer to the newest members of our team."
Kiddo smiled as she joined Arcia for more cake. She just couldnt' get enough!
Deva was sleeping soundly when Killer walked over and gently took her from Tex and held her close.
~~~~~
Hunter was still wide awake...she couldn't sleep after such strenuous 'exercises'. She just smiled and waited for Sieg to say something...or wake up..which ever came first.
-
Lady sputtered incoherently for a moment, then finally managed to say
"These two? What makes you think that they can be trusted? Helloooooo... they tried to kill you!"
She yelled at them, eyes expressing disbelief...
_________________________________________________________________________
Sieg cracked one eye open and smiled at Hunter.
"That...was amazing...my love..."
He said, planting a small kiss on her cheek...
-
Hex sighed and said "Yeah, Lady the key word in your sentence just like mine was the word TRY. They tried, they failed, oh yeah...and Killer is the father of Deva over there." She then pointed to Killer who still held Deva in his arms and was smiling while doing so.
Killer looked up for a moment and his eyes showed nothing but peace and love for his daughter and as he locked eyes with Lady his eyes still showed only compassion for everyone in the room.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Hunter blushed as she felt Sieg kiss her. She then stated:
"Perhaps it would be best if we got back to the others...besides...I wanna give someone else a slice of that cheese cake we left in the elevator."
She then gave a sly smile as she stepped out of bed with the covers over her body and stepped into the bathroom. She then stated "I need to clean up for a moment."
-
Virgil nodded.
"I, too...have my reasons for joining the side of the light. Let's just say that it is because I...realized the gravity of my sins."
Dante nodded.
"Admit it, bro. You just got lonely, didn't you?"
Virgil looked at Hex for a moment, then nodded, blushing.
"I guess...that I was. I didn't know it until now, though."
_________________________________________________________________________
Sieg nodded.
"Alright. I'll wait here, Hunter."
He said, smiling at her...
-
Hex saw Virgil looking at her and she blushed in response as she said "So Lady, you gonna get that bug out of your butt?"
Tex laughed at her little sisters comment. She then said to Virgil "Well I suppose being lonely without anyone to care for you after a while...will make you see things...and others...in a new light."
Tex then looked over at Dante and smiled.
~~~~
Hunter stepped into the bathroom and smiled as she started to wash herself clean. After a few minutes she stepped out with a towel around her and said said:
"Okay bathrooms all yours."
-
Dante nodded, and walked over to Tex, placing an arm around her shoulders.
"She's right, Virgil. Finding people that you get close to can change your entire life."
Virgil looked over at Hex, smiled and said, in an almost dreamy tone...
"Yeah...I think I see that now..."
Lady blushed a little, then turned to Hex.
"L-Look. Just because I don't trust every single ex-assassin that walks in here doesn't mean I have a bug up my butt. The rest of you are just too darn soft, that's all."
_________________________________________________________________________
Sieg smiled at Hunter, then got up, wearing his trousers with the button undone.
"Thanks, Hunter. Just give me a moment, then we can be on our way back."
He said, walking into the bathroom and shutting the door...
-
Tex smiled as she felt Dante's arm around her shoulder. She then said:
"Change your life in more ways then one."
Hex smiled at the tone in Virigls voice and giggled as she took another sip of the Root Beer float in her hands.
Hex then turned to Lady and said "If we're so soft then why have we...and more importantly ME survived so darn long...huh?"
Kiddo smiled as she bit into some more cake and ice cream.
~~~~~~~
Hunter sat on the bed as she waited for Sieg and put on some fresh clothes found in the draws. She went with a pair of pair of leather pants, a red vest and black golves. She then looked in the closet and gave a girly scream as she picked up a dark red overcoat.
"Sweet." Was her only response.
-
Dante gave Tex a mischevous smirk.
"You're telling me. And to think how this whole thing started..."
He laughed.
Lady shot a cocky smirk at Hex.
"Knowing you guys, you all probably just got pretty freakin lucky."
Arcia hummed a little to herself around the bite of cake in her mouth, trying her best to ignore the repartee going on around her, then suddenly asked.
"Hey Tex? Um...What exactly was your original plan for when your little bundle of joy was going to come? I mean, were you just gonna have her in the bunker?"
She said, somewhat muffled because of the food in her mouth...
Virgil just smiled as he took a sip of his float, letting his tail brush against Hex's...
_________________________________________________________________________
Sieg popped his head out of the bathroom, a towel draped around his neck.
"Find something good, Hunter?"
He chuckled, seeing the coat in her hands...
-
Tex giggled as well at the thought of how their adventure started. She the looked to Dante and Killer and then Deva, and she smiled and wiped a tear away from her eye as she said "To think when this all started I was down in the basement of an apartment building working on computers by myself."
She then said to Arcia:
"I knew I was pregnant but...I just hadn't really thought about it...up until tonight I was pretty disconnected with the world around me. I would've come out eventually when the baby was due, so no worries there. But I didn't know then that I was going to have such...a...loving experience."
Hex poked Lady in the shoulder and said "They got lucky...I was still cryogenically frozen in this hospital. But I guess all things considered I was pretty lucky." Hex then blushed as she felt Virgil's tail brush against hers.
~~~~
Hunter smiled as Sieg poked his head out and asked "Well how do I look?"
-
"And I was wandering around rooftops, looking for something to kill the time."
Dante laughed, a bright smile on his face...
"Looks like I found that, huh?"
He then smiled at Tex, kissing her on the cheek lightly...
Arcia made a quiet choking noise, then gave Tex an incredulous stare.
"Y-You didn't think about it? Seriously?"
She spluttered...
Lady looked at Hex, eyebrow raised.
"So, that would explain why you weren't there when I gave Dante my cycle to get him to this hospital, huh?"
She then turned to Kiddo.
"Hey, I've been wondering this for a while. Where's your mom at? She's probably worried sick about you!"
_________________________________________________________________________
Sieg walked out of the bathroom, smiling at her.
"You look absolutely beautiful, my beloved Hunter."
He said, kissing her on the cheek lightly...
-
Tex smiled at Dante for a moment and blushed as she replied to Arcia "No...not really. But, if you're thinking I was going to abandon little Deva, you're dead wrong...i love children. Ones that share my blood especially!"
Tex then looked to Dante and said "Yeah...you found it and a whole lot more!"
Hex nodded and said "Yep..that's about it."
Kiddo turned around her mouth full of milk as she spit it out and almost in the same moment started crying and wailing as Rocker came over and picked her up while saying "Oh real nice Lady, go and upset my kid...yeah that's how you spark a conversation...I'm sure somebody here knows about my past..." He looked to Killer "Yo killer...educate Lady here while I calm my daughter down."
Killer smiled with Deva in his paws and said "Well...okay as it turns out...I was...well...sighned...long ago...to kill...Rockers mate...for not paying protection money...and I carried it out in less than an hour...but I also got this scar for trying to use a little too much TNT on the house." He then shed a tear as he said "I regret it every single day."
~~~~
Hunter giggled in Sieg's embrace and kiss as she said.
"Well...I'm glad you approve. Now let's get downstairs...something tells me somebody just made a little girl cry."
-
Dante shook his head.
"Seriously, Lady. You need to figure out a little something called tact. Honestly. What were you thinking."
He sighed...
Lady glared at Dante.
"How was I supposed to know? It's not like anyone ever told me!"
She snapped back at him...
Arcia nodded.
"I know you wouldn't. Just worried about how out of sorts you were. I mean, what had you so frazzled, anyway?"
She asked curiously...
Virgil nodded.
"Oh. I remember that night. That was the first mission I was working with you. They had sent me as a closer if you had backed out. I suppose that all of us... who served the cult... have our things we regret, don't we?"
He said, shaking his head glumly...
_________________________________________________________________________
Sieg nodded, grabbing his coat and pulling it on.
"I get the feeling that it's that friend of Dante's. Lady, if I'm not mistaken. She just seems like she has just the lack of subtlety that would lend itself to that."
-
Killer sighed and said to Lady "That's not the point...you could've asked any one of us here. Instead you go and ask the little girl who's father is standing in the very same room." He then nodded to Virgil and said, "Yeah...but i don't back down from anything...ever..but I do carry my fair share of guilt."
Tex sighed at Arcia and replied, "Well I suppose it was just the lack of contact. I was down in a basement all alone, I thought my only sister was dead and I hadn't seen my friend Hunter in several years...I hate to admit it...but I was starting to go a little crazy. Even hacking into government security profiles gets dull after a while."
Rocker then came back into the room still holding Kiddo in his arms, but she was now sound asleep. He was smiling as he watched her. He then said:
"She's not upset at you Lady...she was just caught off guard by the question is all...and...I'm not mad either. My daughter has a way of making me forgive people...even when I don't want to."
~~~~
Hunter then grabbed Sieg by the hand and giggled as she said, "Hey...lets make a really dramatic entrance. Say through a window...with that cheesecake in the elevator? Sound like a good idea?"
-
Dante nodded, then he looked at the ground.
"Well, I guess not everyone always remember their manners, huh Lady?"
He said rather sarcastically, giving her a slightly irritated look...
Virgil nodded to Killer.
"I think we all do. I think that...every one of us has something that will haunt us for eternity. But at the least, we can escape those ghosts by destroying the cult. That is what I believe..."
Lady gave Dante a venomous glare, then turned around when Rocker walked back into the room.
"I-I'm sorry. I shouldn't have asked her about that."
She said, bowing slightly...
Arcia looked over at Tex.
"You were hacking Government security profiles? Any reason for that?"
She asked, a mischievous grin on her face...
_________________________________________________________________________
Sieg nodded.
"Well now...that sounds like it would be rather fun..."
He chuckled, the nodded.
"Count me in."
-
Tex sighed and said to Dante "Clam down. Kiddo has a forgiving heart and wa all should too. Now come here and kiss me ya big softy!"
Hex smiled at her sisters words and pulled Virgil into a hug and then planted a kiss on his cheek.
Killer sighed and held Deva close as he said, "I can't wait to teach you so many new things...like how to walk and talk, and even draw on the walls...as long as you don't draw any really weird eyeballs." He then laughed at his own joke, and Deva joined in as well.
Rocker sighed and sat down in a chair as he said "I wish I could've been there for Kiddo...when...her mom...I'm sorry Kiddo, can you forgive me?" He then asked "I'm beginning to wonder if I can ever forgive myself for not being there."
~~~~~~~
Hunter giggled.
"Okay you go get the cheesecake from the elevator and I'll find us a way down two floors and a window to go through!"
-
Dante smiled at Tex, then nodded.
"Yeah. Guess you're right. I let my temper get ahead of myself. My bad. Thanks, love."
He said as he leaned in to kiss her on the lips...
Virgil blushed at Hex's kiss, and he slowly leaned over and returned the kiss...
Lady just sat and looked at Kiddo, letting a small smile cross her lips.
"She's so lucky. Having a father like you must be so great..."
She said quietly to Rocker...
_________________________________________________________________________
Sieg smiled at Hunter.
"That will work just fine, love. I'll be back in a heartbeat."
He said, walking out of the room and giving her a smile...
-
Tex blushed at the kiss, but returned it as she said, "No problem, you hot headed stud."
Hex held Virgil in the kiss for as long as she could, which turned out to be several minutes, but eventually even she had to let go and take a deep breath of air. She then smiled and said "I think that's the longest I've ever kissed anyone before!"
Rocker smiled and replied "Yeah, I guess she is. I do love her though...I'd do anything to protect her."
~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Cool" was Hunters only response as she forced the window open and finding a fire escape she climbed out onto the metal casing. "Alright...Sieg...you ready yet?"
-
Dante smirked at Tex.
"Hey, I wonder... When are Sieg and Hunter gonna get back, you think? 'Cause maybe we can...y'know, have the room next or something..."
He said, a rougeish grin on his face...
Virgil sat there panting for a moment, then finally said...
"I can honestly say that's been the longest...and just about the first kiss I've had... Hex..."
Lady smiled at Rocker.
"I guess I'll help too. It's the least I can do for having hurt her feelings..."
Then she turned to Tex.
"Oh, and when Dante was getting you here, Hunter told me to ask you about if she and Sieg had done it yet. Did you have something to do with something about that?"
She asked, grinning...
_________________________________________________________________________
Sieg stood in the door, cheesecake in hand.
"Ready, Hunter. Let's give them a bit of a surprise, shall we?"
-
(Please Don't let this die...)
-
OOC: :oops Heh...sorry bout that!
Tex smiled and said,"Knowing those two, they are probably on their way down here now, but if Hunter is the same as I think she is, they are going to make a grand entrance, that will end in something getting broken!"
She then turned to Lady and said "Uhh...maybe...what do you think?" She then chuckled and gave a sly smile.
Hex blushed a deep red as she replied "Well...it was my first kiss too. It...it was wonderful. Thank you Virgil."
Rocker sighed and looked up at Lady as he said, "That's good. If anything happens to me...I don't know who'd look after her."
_____________________________
Hunter cralwed over to the window she planned to use, but suddenly realized that the window was already busted open. She frowned, but decided it would still be fun as she gave a scream of joy and drop kicked through the window and onto the floor, hoping Sieg would be right behind her.
-
Dante nodded.
"Yep. And knowing her, she's got Sieg with her."
Lady smiled at Rocker, then said quietly...
"Nothing will happen to you. I won't let it."
In an even quieter whisper, she added...
"Handsome..."
Then she turned towards Tex, raising an eye ridge.
"So, what did you do? And did you get videos or something? 'Cause if you did, I wanna see."
She said, chuckling slightly...
Virgil smiled, then wrapped his tail around Hex's.
"Hopefully...that'll be the first of many...Hex..."
He said warmly, smiling at her with a blush on his face...
_________________________________________________________________________
Sieg was right behind Hunter, and he flipped adroitly into the room, grinning broadly...
-
Everyone looked up at the sound of Hunter scream. Rocker was the first to speak.
"Well...we were wondering when you two would be done up there...now could you keep it down...my daughter is trying to sleep." He then blushed at Ladys comment and replied "Thanks...cutie."
Tex smiled deviously and said, "Well as a matter of fact, yes I did. And now that Hunter and Sieg are here, we can watch on a private screen if Rocker can find one here that is."
Hex blushed at Virgil and wrapped her tail as well as she said, "I do hope my next kiss...is..just as memorable as the first."
Hunter smiled as she replied to Rocker "Who wants some cake??" then a sly grin crossed her face as she noticed Kiddo waking up at the mention of cake and said "Me Please!"
-
Lady shook her head.
"What's gotten into everyone. I mean, why are we all acting so...mushy. And why am I liking it?"
She said quietly...
Sieg looked at Tex.
"Let me guess what you're talking about. The videos you got of us when we were at your place?"
Virgil smiled back at Hex
"Depends on what you mean by interesting. More interesting than just being with you?"
He asked, smiling...
Dante looked over at Virgil and Hex, then laughed.
"This is so weird. Two brothers who've fallen for two sisters. Who'd've thought?"
When Kiddo woke up, Arcia smiled, then walked over, holding a slice of cake.
"I was thinking you'd say that, Kiddo. Here you go."
She said, smiling warmly...
-
Rocker smiled at Lady and said, "When we realised that a hospital makes a great pick up spot!"
Tex smiled.
"Yep, the very same! Still wanna watch?"
Hex blushed and replied, "How about more memorable than this." She then leaned in and kissed him again.
Rocker looked over to Dante and replied, "I sure didn't see that coming."
Hunter however stepped in front of Arcia and said, "Perhaps Seig should give Kiddo a slice of Cheesecake?"
Kiddo's immediate response was to jump out of her fathers arms and shout "YAY!!! Cheesecake! Gimme!!!"
-
Lady shrugged.
"I guess so. Now, what would you say to a kiss?"
She said, smiling flirtatiously at Rocker...
Sieg blushed somewhat, then gave Hunter an embarassed smile.
"Well, If you wouldn't mind, Hunter, I guess we could watch..."
He then turned to Kiddo, offering her the box.
"Here you go. Enjoy."
He said, smiling warmly...
Arcia gave Hunter a small grin, then put the cake down.
"You called that one pretty well. And where'd you get the cheesecake?"
Dante smiled.
"Well, whatever. I couldn't be happier. And I don't think Virgil could be, either."
He said, grinning at Tex...
Virgil smiled as Hex kissed him again. He allowed himself to melt into her kiss, forgetting everything but her for a moment...
-
Rocker cleared his throat and smiled opting to say nothing, but leaned in and began to kiss Lady on the lips.
Hunter giggled and said "Sure, I wouldn't mind, as long as I had some popcorn to eat along with it!"
Kiddo took the box with a squeal of joy and walked just outside the door frame and began eating the cheesecake with her hands not bothering to slow down.
Hunter's face then took on a look of pure accidental horror as she stuttered "In...in the...elevator...oh crap!" She turned to Dante, still too stunned by her mistake to move and said "Get that cheesecake away from her!"
Tex just grinned back and held Dante closer.
Hex sighed as the kiss ended and she had this dreamy, spaced out look upon her face as she said, "Well...this relationship is off to a wonderful start!"
-
Sieg nodded, then seemed to disappear as he darted over to Kiddo, retrieved the cheescake, and in a flash was next to Hunter, holding the box.
"Got it."
He said simply, a small grin on his face...
"Well, do we have a video screen around here? 'Cause I think it's time to see that blackmail footage you got of Sieg and...me... Oh..."
Dante stuttered, then chuckled a little...
Virgil nodded, a similar look on his face.
"I agree. But I guess we shouldn't be surprised. I think that your saving me was a sign..."
He said wistfully, smiling at Hex...
Lady stiffened for a moment, unprepared for Rocker's response, but just as quickly relaxed, enjoying the kiss immensely...
-
Hunter sighed and kissed Sieg on the nose for acting so fast. "Great job."
Kiddo who was now baffled as to where the cheesecake went came back into the room, and said, "Yeah, There is a TV in the room just down the hall with a 22" screen, and surround sound."
Hex blushed and replied "Yeah, I think so too."
Rocker broke the kiss, and said to Lady, "So ready for a movie?"
-
Lady grinned, panting slightly.
"A chance to see some dirt on Sieg and Dante? I'm all for it..."
She said to Rocker, giving him a mischievous grin, then leaning in close and whispering...
"Maybe we can do something like it later..."
Dante gave Tex an embarrassed grin.
"Oh boy...This is gonna be a little awkward..."
Sieg smiled at Hunter, returning her kiss.
"Anything for you, Hunter..."
Virgil gave Hex a cheerful smirk, and he said...
"Want to go see some footage of my brother that, if I'm not mistaken, is gonna make us laugh our butts off at him?"
-
Rocker gave a sly smile and whispered back...
"That sounds like a wonderful idea...I'm sure my daughter woulnd't mind staying here with our friends." He then chuckled and said, "After the movie of course!"
Tex giggled as she said, "Why, you werne't in any of the rooms...you and I were never on camera..but everyone else was!"
Hunter settled for just hugging and holding Seig in her arms.
Kiddo however was livid as she said, "Where did my cheesecake go! I wasn't done with it! Give it back whoever took it now!!!"
Hex giggled and replied, "You've got a deal!"
-
"Well, Rocker...Shall we?"
Lady asked, giving him a small grin as she stood up...
"Ah-hah... Um... Actually, I was, remember?"
Dante said, blushing a deep red...
"That was...just after we met... and..."
Sieg grinned, sliding the cheesecake under a nearby bed and hiding it, while holding Hunter.
Virgil grinned.
"So...Ready to go see this?"
He asked Hex, offering her his hand...
-
Rocker smiled and replied...
"Sure...let's...disappear for a while."
Tex blushed and said, "Oh...yeah..heh..kinda forgot about that...this...is going to be awkward."
Kiddo wasn't one to be fooled so easily...and she noticed Sieg moving his foot, and she quickly dived under the bed aiming for the cheesecake. "MINE!!!!"
Hex smiled and took Virgils hand in hers and stood up.
"Sure Virgil let's go."
Hunter sighed and said, "Oh...I'm sure Rocker is going to give me grief for this...but give Kiddo the cheesecake Sieg." She then whispered to him...
"If she eats alot of it...we'll just write it off as the common cold."
-
Lady grinned.
"Of course. Where do we...disapear to?"
Dante looked around.
"We could...um...fast-forward through the parts with me..."
Sieg nodded to Hunter.
"Right. I agree."
He whispered back...
-
Rocker smiled and said, "Well there is a swimming pool on the second floor above us. How about there."
Tex smiled and replied, "Not a chance stud. We are going to see all of it."
Hunter smiled and let Kiddo dig into the cheesecake. She watched for several more moments before Kiddo stopped eating and held her belly as she looked around, momentarily confused and then asked, "Uhh...I feel funny...what was that cheesecake made out of?"
Hunter giggled and said, "You don't want to know Kiddo. Trust me...uhh...is there anything you need to do?"
Kiddo then replied "Uhh...yeah...bathroom would be good."
Hunter smiled and said, "Okay I'll go with you."
-
Lady smiled.
"Sounds...fun. Well, what are we waiting for?"
She said, holding out her hand to Rocker...
Dante sighed.
"Somehow, I knew you were going to say that. Fine...Just don't laugh too hard at me, okay?"
Sieg nodded.
"See you when you get back, Hunter."
Arcia walked over to Killer.
"Hey. You haven't said much for a while. You thinking about something?"
She asked, sitting beside him...
-
Rocker smiled and took Ladys hand and replied, "Okay...follow me Miss Lady."
Tex giggled and replied,
"Don't worry, I'll be sure to be...committed to keeping an eye on you, and the movie of course."
Hunter smiled and took Kiddo by the hand and led her into the bathroom softly closing the door behind her.
Killer was startled when Arcia spoke to him. He looked around for a moment and sighed as he said, "Sorry...I was thinking actually. About my whole life...and what I've done. My daughter here in my arms...just makes me wonder...if what I did was right?"
-
Post deleted!
-
Lady smiled.
"Of course."
She said, following Rocker's lead...
Dante smiled.
"Thanks, Tex. Well, let's get this...show on the road..."
He chuckled...
Arcia shook her head.
"Well, I don't know if it was...right, per se, but it led you here. So there must have been some reason you were put in the places you were, dontcha think?"
She said, quietly smiling at Deva.
"Y'know, she got some of her good looks from you. She's just so beautiful..."

Rocker stepped into the hall and said, "Don't worry, the pool is self heated, and the door only opens and locks with my voice command, so we can be as alone as we want."
Tex couldn't help but giggle as Dante chuckled and she said, "Okay, come on everyone, the TV is in the other room, lets go there and watch these videos."
Killer then said, "Well, Tex does deserve most of the credit...she was the one who carried Deva for so long." He was about to ask Arcia a question when a squeal came from the bathroom, followed by several fits of laughter and another squeal.
Killer looked confused as he asked...
"What's going on in there? And where did Hunter go?"
-
Lady giggled a little.
"Then we may be a while, then..."
She said mischeviously...
Dante nodded.
"Yep. Let's not waste anymore time!"
He said, smiling at Tex...
Arcia shook her head.
"I haven't got the faintest clue what's going on in there. I think Hunter's in there, though..."
-
Rocker just gave a sly smile and nodded his head and kept walking.
Hunter then leaned her head out of the bathroom door and asked, "Does anyone have a towel...we...uhh..spilled some water on the floor, and we don't want anyone to slip and fall." Kiddo then giggled in the background and said, "Yeah! A really big towel!"
Killer laughed and said, "Well that answers my question." He then looked over and replied "Who mentioned a movie...I've got popcorn in my pockets!"
Tex smiled back at Dante as she spoke up "Yeah, just follow us..you'll see what the movie is once we're all there!"
-
Arcia laughed.
"Somehow, I doubt that it's water that you spilled on the floor. There's a linens closet down one of these halls, I'm pretty sure, so could someone go get the towels?"
Sieg nodded, opening the door and nodding to the others.
"Be right back."
He said calmly, though he seemed to be holding back laughter...
Dante chuckled.
"Well, that was interesting. Anyhow, let's go get this show on."
Arcia looked back over at Killer.
"Why are you carrying popcorn in you pockets, exactly?"
-
Hutner gave a sly smile at the accusation that was going around about the water on the floor, and she giggled in response. She then said, "i'll thank Sieg when he gets back!"
Tex smiled.
"Of course let us begin, Hunter can catch up to us when she's done playing around."
Hex smiled as she said...
"Okay, that was just weird. I don't want to know what's going on in there, do I?"
Killer laughed and replied, "Probably not. And as for why I keep popcorn in my pockets....well ya never know when you're going to get a good show like this again. Oh that reminds me, do we have a microwave in here?" he then pulled out several bags of unpopped popcorn.
-
Sieg popped his head back into the room, carrying several towels.
"You'll thank me for what? Is it really that bad?"
He said, carrying several towels as he nudged his way inside...
Dante grinned.
"If what I'm hearing is any indication, that might take a while."
He chuckled, wrapping an arm around Tex...
Virgil shook his head.
"Probably not. Sounds like a bit of a chaotic event."
Arcia laughed, then looked over to the mini-refrigerator and microwave near the beds.
"Well, there's one. And hey, for all we know, we may have a show here... And besides, anywhere's fine...if I'm with you..."
-
Hunter smiled and said..
"Thank you for getting the towels for us." She then blushed as she pulled her head back inside the bathroom for a moment and whispered something to Kiddo. She then poked her head out the door once more and replied...
"Uhh...seeing as how Rocker is missing now...uhh...Tex could you come in here and help us out for a minute?"
Tex blushed as she felt Dante's arm around her, and then nodded when she head Hunters question. She turned to Dante and winked as she said...
"This will only be for a moment. I'll be right back!"
Hex giggled at the idea floating around in her head at what was going on in the bathroom. and she nodded to Virgil's response about this event being chaotic.
Killer smiled...and then blushed as he heard her comment. He then said "Oh really...well then..I'll go start this popcorn, and maybe, we'll...have some fun..."
-
Sieg smirked.
"Need any more help? I'd be glad to do what I could."
Dante nodded.
"Yeah. We all might be able to help you out, that way we'd be more comfortable."
Arcia grinned.
"Fun sounds...good..."
-
Kiddo then squealed again as she could hear the voices outside the door.
"NO! No boys are coming in here! I won't allow it!"
Hunter chuckled at that and said,
"Well boys, you have your answer. Tex if you would please..."
Tex grinned and stepped into the bathroom and then screamed "Ewww! Which one of you two did this?! And how did it get on the ceiling?!"
Kiddo could then be heard laughing as Hunter closed the door with the towels in hand.
Killer just laughed and pushed the power button on microwave while holding Deva with his other arm, then said to Arcia...
"Good...that's what I like to hear!"
Hex smiled and just held Virgil closer to her.
-
Sieg grinned a little, then muttered a brief incantation, layering his eyes with a spell that would allow him to see past the wall. He couldn't help but chuckle a little at what he saw...
Dante looked over at Sieg.
"Spying, hm? Lemme see."
He said, then chuckled as Sieg performed the same spell on him...
Arcia smiled at Killer
"Well, I don't know about everyone else, but...I'm sure glad you're here now..."
-
*Through the closed door, Hunter was cleaning the floor and ceiling, while Tex was checking up on Kiddo, although the door was closed Sieg and Dante could also hear what could be said*
"What the heck possesed you to let kiddo eata cheesecake full of Aphrodisiac?!" asked Tex in a whispered voice
Hunter scoffed and said "Oh please...she wanted the cake...I wasn't about to deny the poor kid her favoirte food!"
Kiddo then piped up by saying "Miss Hunter taught me a new game with my tail and a toothbrush! Wanna see Miss Tex?"
"NO!" shouted Tex a little too loud.
Killer smiled and replied, "Thank you...Arcia, you are a gem among diamonds."
-
Sieg laughed a little at the sight, then burst out laughing when he heard Tex's outburst.
He exchanged a playful glance with Dante, who was likewise chuckling merrily.
"Hey, Tex? Need any help or anything in there?"
He said, trying hard to restrain his laughter...
Arcia gave Killer a blushing grin.
"And you... are the most handsome guy I've ever met..."
-
Tex glared at the door as if she could see Sieg though it and said, "Unless you want an unnecessary anatomy lesson from an eight year old, I suggest you stay on that side of the door!" She then shouted to Hunter...
"I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE YOU DID THAT!!!"
Hunter groaned as she finished cleaning the floor. She then turned and said, "Whatever look the floor is clean now, can the guys come in yet...they could at least move these wet towels for us."
Killer smiled and blushed as he heard the microwave ping to signal it was done...he stared into Arcia's eyes a little longer and then said, "I'll carry the popcorn if you think you can handle a sleeping Deva."
Hex then walked over and said, "I can take her...so you two can...well...befriend each other." She then giggled as Killer handed over Deva without a word of protest.
-
Sieg popped the door open, holding his eyes shut, though he could still see a little through his fingers, and the spell placed on his eyes enhanced that view, so he got quite an eyeful of Kiddo. He tried to conceal this fact, but the stream of blood that started dripping from his nose was not helping...
"Umm...Need a hand with the towels?"
Dante laughed.
"An anatomy lesson from an eight-year-old? This should be interesting..."
He said, then stopped, his jaw going slack as he saw Kiddo...
Arcia grinned.
"Thanks, Hex. This may be a while..."
She chuckled...
-
Kiddo suddenly realized she was in a rather compromising position as she was currently sitting on the toilet with her hand...well she'd rather not say, but instead of reacting as she normally would have she asked Dante and Sieg...
"Wanna see a trick I can do?" Inadvertendly flashing her eyes at the two of them.
Tex immediately stood up and pushed Dante and Sieg out of the door as she commented: "Kiddo is still under the effects of that blasted Cheesecake, and...."
But before she could continue Hunter cut her off.
"You two put a spell over your eyes so you could see through the walls didn't you?! TELL THE TRUTH! Then again...Sieg that nosebleed was more than enough telltale evidence for you, and Dante, try not to leave your mouth open!"
Tex then picked up Kiddo and stepped into the walk-in shower and closed the door. Refusing to come out until Dante and Sieg had disabled the spell.
Killer nodded his head in thanks and kissed Arcia on the cheek as he took the popcorn and walked into the hall.
~~~~
Rocker was now in the pool wearing only a loose pair of swimming shorts and he chuckled as Lady refused to get in. "Come on its' warm!"
-
Sieg gave Hunter a small, embarrassed grin.
"Sorry. I just had to see what was the cause of all the commotion in here. My apologies."
He said, dispelling the enchantment on his eyes...
Dante gave a small grin too.
"Heheh...Umm...I'm in trouble, aren't I?
He said, looking over to the door where Tex was...
Arcia grinned at the kiss, and followed Killer into the hall, practically skipping...
_________________________________________________________________________
Lady blushed.
"Umm...well, I don't have a swimsuit, so...we kinda have two options here..."
She said, then her blush deepened.
"Either I swim in my underwear, or I swim...Naked..."
She trailed off...
-
Hunter stood stern looking at Sieg and once the spell was undone she strolled over and said...
"Finally!" She then leaned in and gave Sieg a hard kiss holding him in place.
Tex however shouted through the open shower top "What do you think..." And again she was cut off...but this time by Kiddo as she stated:
"Can I please show my trick to them...please...it feels good!"
Even during her kiss, that statement made Hunter frown, and if Tex's sighing was any indication things were going to get messy...again! She immediately broke the kiss with Sieg and asked.
"Could you be a dear, and go get some more towels, we are SO going to need them!"
Just as those words were said, Tex sighed once more and finally gave in to the eight year old and said "Sure Kiddo, if it'll get you to stop!"
Kiddo nodded eagerly and said "YAY!!! I get to show my trick!"
Hex turned around and frowned at what she heard as she looked at Virgil and asked, "Should we even see what they are talking about in there?"
_________________________
Rocker sat in the pool treading water for several seconds before throwing his arms into the air and shouting "ALRIGHT!! I haven't been skinny dipping since I was six!" In a matter of 0.02 seconds he had his swimming shorts off and said "Feeling better now Lady?"
-
Sieg blushed as Hunter kissed him, but he returned the kiss with passion.
When he heard Hunter ask him to go get fresh towels, he smirked.
"Well, it seems like Kiddo wants to show us something first. Don't worry. I can go get the towels in a flash if I need to..."
Dante just smirked at hearing Tex give in to an Eight-Year-Old with a currently perverted streak...
Virgil shook his head.
"From what it sounds like, Kiddo's planning on giving everyone quite a show... If you want to, we can go take a look..."
____________________________________________________________________
Lady grinned, then her clothes went flying as she leapt into the pool with Rocker.
"Ahh...That's sooo much better, wouldn't you say, Handsome"
She said seductively, wrapping her arms around him...
-
Hunter smiled and replied, "Yeah in a flash would be nice. Dear."
Tex stepped out of the shower and Kiddo ran past her grabbing the toothbrush she'd used earlier and she giggled as she started to sweat. Tex however grabbed her arm and told her...
"Wait, we need some new towels first, and then you can start."
Kiddo nodded her head, but seemed to bounce with nearly uncontrolled energy. Tex sighed as she stepped back into the shower stall and motioned with her hands for Dante to follow her.
Hex giggled and replied, "Well I guess we could go see...it couldn't hurt right?"
__________________________________________
Rocker couldn't help but grin even as Lady held him, he could see her body through the steam that rose off the water and he leaned in and gave Lady a kiss, letting the water pull him under.
-
Sieg grinned, then raced off, disappearing for about ten seconds before returning, holding a stack of fresh towels.
"Somebody ask for towels?"
Dante saw Tex's gesture, and he nodded, following her...
Virgil nodded.
"I guess not. So...shall we?"
_________________________________________________________________________
Lady chuckled as she followed Rocker under the water...
-
Hunter smiled at how fast Sieg was and said, "Thanks for the quick moves. Now we need to set them here...here and here." As she pointed to the three different places where she was sure it was going to get messy again.
Tex closed the door once again when she was sure Dante was inside as well. She then turned to him and whispered...
"Things are going to get...awkward...really awkward. Just try not to look to surprised when the time comes okay?"
Hex stepped into the bathroom and asked, "I heard Kiddo is going to put on a show for us? What could she possibly do?"
Killer stopped in front of a door that had the words A/V Room on it. "This must be the room they spoke of....oh well, at least Tex was nice enough to give me the tape before Hunter called her into the bathroom....ready for a good show?" he asked Arcia
________________________________________________________
Rocker was now fully submerged and still kissing Lady, and the water only made it feel far more then just a normal kiss...it felt...surreal. Almost like it was a dream within a dream. 'please....don't let this moment end... he thought to himself.
-
Sieg nodded.
"Right. I'm on it, my love. Umm..Why will we need the towels? What did you teach her to do, exactly?"
He said, placing the towels where indicated...
"Right. How wierd are we talking here? What exactly is she going to do?"
Dante asked, raising an eye ridge curiously...
Virgil's head popped in too.
"Agreed. What exactly is the youngling planning?"
He asked...
Arcia smiled.
"Always...Especially in the present company..."
She said, giving Killer a small hug...
____________________________________________________________________
Lady smiled as she and Rocker kissed under the water.
"This is...amazing...He's so wonderful...I hope we can stay here forever..."
-
Both Hunter and Tex were currently at a loss for words as their mates asked them exactly what was supposed to be happening.
Hunter sighed and replied, "Just trust me. Its going to be a jaw dropping stunt."
Tex just smiled a sly smile and said...
"Oh you'll see. And understand why hunter is never allowed near aphrodisiac's ever again!"
Hex giggled as she stepped inside and asked "Now where is the fun in them telling us Virgil...why don't we just sit down and wait to see."
_____________________________________
Rocker was in paradise...until he suddenly realized that neither he nor Lady had taken a breath in several minutes, and his eyesight was getting blurry. He unfortunately broke the kiss, and immediately took Lady's hand and swam up to the surface gasping for air.
-
Sieg smirked.
"It's that good, huh? Well, I guess we should let her get on with the show, before she loses her mind..."
He said, laughing at the look on Kiddo's face...
Dante laughed a little.
"She got that affected by it? Then I can't wait to see her little trick..."
He chuckled, reaching for the door...
Virgil chuckled.
"Right, Hex. We probably shouldn't sit too close, if the towels and the earlier commotion are any indication..."
_________________________________________________________________________
Lady popped up next to Rocker, taking a deep breath.
"Well, that was fun, my love..."
She chuckled...
-
And the look on Kiddo's face was one of joy and bliss as her left and right hands flexed open and closed while her tail held an ordinary tooth brush. She was beginning to tremble out of joy for her new trick.
Hunter merely sat down on the closed toilet seat and sighed as she waited for the 'show' to start.
Tex did likewise and sat on the edge of the bathtube that ran the length of the wall. She then asked, "Is everyone ready?"
Hex closed the door behind them and nodded her head to say she was.
Then for a brief moment Hunter and Tex exchanged glances with each other and said as one: "Okay Kiddo...GO!"
((For the sake of my sanity and possibly my status as a member here, I'm not actually going to describe what Kiddo does or how she does it...she's a kid hopped up on Aphrodisiacs, and has a 'trick' to show...well..just use your imagination. :smile ))
Killer had finally set up all the video equipment they would need to watch the incriminating evidence. Killer then sat down next to Arcia and gave her the bowl of popcorn first and said...
"And here...it goes!" As he pushed play on the controller.
________________________________________________
Rocker grinned at Lady's sentence and said, "Right back at cha! My mate." He then turned around in a circle as if looking for something...he then sighed and said, "Something bad is about to happen...I just know it...not dangerous...just bad."
-
Sieg blinked as he watched Kiddo's performance.
"Hunter... Did you teach her that? And if so, where did you learn it?"
He asked, raising an eye ridge...
Dante sat next to Tex, quietly observing.
"Dang...Didn't even know you could do that with a toothbrush..."
He muttered, shaking his head...
Virgil just sat, eyes wide at the sight...
____________________________________________________________
Arcia snuggled up to Killer
"Who needs popcorn, when I've got you..."
She said happily...
____________________________________________________________________
Lady nodded.
"You too, huh?"
she asked, shaking her head...
-
Hunter suddenly blushed as Sieg asked his question and didn't bother to respond as her blush only darkened across her face. She just sat there watching Kiddo do her thing.
Tex sighed as a blush settled across her face too. She then said, "oh its not over...not by a long shot..just give Kiddo a few more minutes and you'll know when it's over."
Hex raised an eye ridge at what she was seeing, but found it strangely amusing that this eight year old child could do this...and so well. "I wonder if she can teach me that." She then covered her mouth hoping Virgil hadnt' heard her outburst.
____________________________
Killer snuggled up against Arcia as the movie continued to play, and then he said, "Hey here we go...there's Tex giving the others some kind of drink...I think this is where the fun begins."
____________________________
Rocker sighed and said, "Well I don't want to spoil such a great time, but...I've got to go check on Kiddo...I'm sorry would you like to come with me, or stay here in the warm waters?"
-
Sieg gave Hunter a sly grin.
"You did teach her that, didn't you? Care to tell us where you picked it up, love?"
He chuckled...
Dante shook his head.
"It gets weirder? I find it hard to imagine that... Though the towels kinda unsettle me..."
He said, shaking his head...
Virgil looked over at Hex.
"Really, Hex? Never thought you'd be into this sort of thing, beautiful. Though, I must admit...If it's this exciting to see an eight-year-old do it, I can't begin to imagine seeing you do it..."
_________________________________________________________________________
Arcia grinned at Killer.
"Yeah...You'll love what comes next. Let's just say that Sieg, Hunter, Dante, and that girl Jaina get to have some fun..."
She chuckled, then leaned in close to him and whispered seductively...
"Like we can do later, maybe..."
_________________________________________________________________________
Lady grinned.
"I'll tag along. That is, if we get to have a little bit more fun later..."
She chuckled...
-
Hunter mumbled "M-maybe...I did...but well...one day I was bored, and after coming home from a long day...I was going to..brush...my teeth but then I decided I wasn't ready for bed just yet, and well one thing lead to another...and the trick was born."
Tex smiled at Dante's nervousness about the Towels on the floor and said, "Well dear, it will get better, the ending is going to be fun...at least for me it is..."
Hex blushed and giggled at the comment and thought of her doing that same trick. She then looked to Virgil and blushed a deeper red as she said...
"I'd be glad...to..to try...and do that trick...for you when...this...is over...my love."
______________________________
Killer watched and could barely contain his laughter. He then said, "wow...this is...impressive...even for them. I knew Tex was a wizard at mixing...love potions, but these are amazing. I gotta get a sample of this from her. Wouldn't you agree Arcia?"
_______________________________
Rocker donned a fresh towel and smiled as he held his hand out for Lady. "You ready to go?"
-
Sieg smiled.
"Well...maybe...just maybe...I've done something similar...My love..."
He chuckled...
Dante gave Tex a nervous smile.
"If it's fun for you...that means it'll be really...odd, won't it?"
He said, grinning, though blushing...
Virgil smiled.
"Maybe some time soon...gorgeous..."
He said, blushing a little...
_________________________________________________________________________
Arcia grinned at Killer.
"Well, I could do that for you..."
She said, grinning...
_________________________________________________________________________
Lady hopped out of the pool, grabbing a nearby towel to wrap around herself and grabbing her clothes.
"Yep. All set..."
She said teasingly...
-
Hunter gave a startled look at Sieg and asked...
"May I ask how...or is it better that you tell me in private?"
Tex giggled and replied, "Odd...yes, but apparently all of my research has paid off...I'm the one who seasoned the cake with the powdered aphrodisiac, and it worked...although I didn't intend for Kiddo to eat the whole cake."
Hex smiled and held Virgil close as she said, "And it'll be soon I promise!"
_____________________________
Killer grinned as he paused the tape and asked "Seriously you can do that...then it's a good thing we like each other...this potion seems like it could be a lot of fun to use."
____________________________
Rocker smiled back at Lady and said...
"Oh you're ready huh...well then we'll be taking the express elevator just to save time...okay?"
((I had planned on Rocker and Lady returning just as Kiddo is about to preform her big finish...is that okay?))
-
(OOC: That's exactly what I was thinking was gonna happen. Weird.)
Sieg grinned.
"I'll tell you in private..."
He said, giving Hunter a small kiss on the cheek...
Dante looked at Tex.
"Still with the drugs, huh Tex? Wait...Did you plan for Kiddo to even get to the cheesecake?"
He asked, raising an eyebrow...
Virgil gave Hex a grin as he held her.
"That's what I was hoping for..."
He whispered in her ear...
_________________________________________________________________________
Arcia nodded.
"That's the only way that it'll work like it's supposed to... otherwise you just get...yeah..."
She said, grinning mischievously...
_________________________________________________________________________
"Right. That's fine. So...where's the express elevator?"
Lady asked, taking Rocker's hand with a small grin...
-
Hunter smiled as she received her kiss from Sieg and heard what he said. She then giggled as she went back to watching Kiddo do her...'trick'. "This is so wrong, but she's enjoying it...so I can't complain."
Tex sighed and whispered into Dante's ear: "No...not really, but at least now I know it works. I didn't want to test the drugs on a child for moral and ethical reasons, but her love of Cheesecake didn't seem to stop her from eating it."
Hex giggled and said, "Lets just watch Kiddo, so when I try it...I'll know just what to do..."'
___________________________
Killer raised an eye ridge as he asked, "What would happen if we were just two random saurians passing by with this stuff in us?" He was just curious.
___________________________
Rocker smiled as he stepped into the elevator which was also warm...not as warm as the pool water but enough to keep the riders dry. He then pushed a button and said to Lady, "Uhh..you may want to hold on to your towel...this is the 'express' elevator...it goes kinda fast."
He then pushed a button and the elevator dropped at a rapid pace.
-
Sieg chuckled.
"She certainly has gotten...'into' it."
He said, laughing merrily at his little joke...
"So...who was the drug meant for?"
Dante asked Tex, a rougish grin on his face...
Virgil gave Hex a small kiss.
"I'm sure you'll do fine no matter what, Hex."
He said gently...
_________________________________________________________________________
Arcia gave Killer a small grin.
"Well, let's just say that you wouldn't be...coming down for quite a while..."
She said, thinking about when she had tested it...
_________________________________________________________________________
Lady caught the edge of her towel just in time, as the elevator dropped.
"Express...doesn't even begin to cover this thing..."
She said, giddily...
-
Hunter blushed as she grinned and blushed and said "Yes, she certainly has."
Tex smiled and replied, "that drug was meant to be for Hunter and Sieg, and they got a taste of it, but didn't get too far into the cake like kiddo did...it's just ashame that now when her father finds out...he's gonna wanna take someones tail...and it might be mine."
Hex blushed a deep red and replied "Y-you really think so..."
__________________
Killer's eyes widened as he realized what Arcia meant and he said..."Well...that explains a lot. No wonder these guys are so in love with each other..."
___________________
Rocker grinned as he glanced at Lady barely holding on to her towel and said, "this is why I put my pants back on."
-
Sieg smirked at Hunter, then turned back to watch the show.
Dante gave Tex a small grin.
"Don't worry. I won't let him get you too bad.."
He said, tapping her tail lightly...
"After all, that's my lovely tail..."
He chuckled...
Virgil nodded.
"Yeah. I know you will."
He said to her, grinning...
_________________________________________________________________________
Arcia gave Killer a small smile.
"Well, we might get that...close...later..."
She said, letting her hand stray across his lap...
_________________________________________________________________________
Lady looked at Rocker.
"Don't look. I'm getting my clothes back on. You look, I may have to...punish you."
She said, giving him a small wink...
-
Hunter was getting fustrated if only for the fact that Kiddo was still doing her trick...the first time she'd done this, it was only a few moments in...now it was boardering on ten minutes...and she thought to herself
'If Rocker comes back and finds his daughter doing this...I am so going to get it.' she for a moment looked worriedly over to Sieg and sighed as she watched.
Tex blushed and said, "Awww...well...that manly body of yours should be far more than enough to stop a silly doctor."
Hex giggled and gave Virgil a peck on the cheek as she blushed.
_______________________
Killer felt himself blush as Arcia's hand cross his lap. He then reached out to hug her...and 'misplaced' his hand across her chest. He then pretended it was an accident and said..
"heh...sorry." but didn't bother to move his hand.
_________________
Rocker nodded his head in compliance...but couldn't help as he used a mirror on his wrist and blushed as he watched. "What...beauty...and it's a shame it's being covered." he said with a sly grin.
-
Sieg heard Hunter sigh, and he turned to look at her.
"Penny for your thoughts?"
He asked, placing his hand gently on her leg...
Dante grinned.
"It shouldn't be a problem. Not when it's for your sake, Tex..."
He said, smiling at her...
Virgil grinned at Hex's kiss, smiling back at her...
_________________________________________________________________________
Arcia smiled at Killer.
"Ohh...so you want to play?"
She asked, teasing moving closer to him...
_________________________________________________________________________
Lady grinned.
"Subtle, genius..."
She teased...
-
Hunter looked over at Sieg and frowned as she said, "Well I could use some advice right about now. Thanks."
Tex blushed and said, "Thank you...I feel so safe with you."
Hex smiled as she and Virgil stared at each other.
_____________________________
Killer smiled back and said as he slid closer "Yeah, I wanna play a game..."
___________________________
Rocker grinned as he replied, "I thought it was. So may I turn around now?"
-
Sieg nodded.
"Sure. What is it that you need advice on?"
He asked, tilting his head...
Dante grinned.
"And that's a surprise how?"
He teased, smiling at Tex...
____________________________________________________________________
Arcia grinned.
"Then...let's play..."
She whispered, as she leaned in to kiss Killer..."
____________________________________________________________________
Lady grinned.
"Sure thing, handsome..."
She said, lightly patting his tail...
-
Hunter sighed and whispered to Sieg "What if..Rocker wants revenge or something for exposing his eight year old daughter like this? I may be the first one he comes down on...and who knows what kind of death he has in those syringes he carries."
Tex couldn't help but smile at Dante as he comforted her fears. She merely blushed and kissed him again.
_______________________
Killer leaned into the kiss coming and held Arcias head close as their lips met. Silence filled the room as Killer savored the moment.
_______________________
Rocker then turned around and took Lady's hands in his own as the doors to the elevator opened up and he smiled as he said, "Well the room we left the others in is literally right around the coner...shall we?" He then lead her to the door and slowly began to turn the knob.
-
Sieg grinned.
"If it comes to that, I have ways of...subduing someone in a rage. If that fails, I can just knock him out, anyways."
He said comfortingly...
Dante accepted Tex's kiss, returning it with equal love...
_________________________________________________________________________
Arcia was in heaven. Killer's lips pressed against hers was the only thing she could feel, and all she cared about was that one moment...
_________________________________________________________________________
Lady buttoned up the last button on her jacket.
"Yep. We shall."
She replied, a smile on her face...
-
Hunter, Tex breaking her kiss with Dante and Hex all looked up as they heard a noise coming from the other side of the bathroom door and the three girls realized that the door was slightly ajar. With a startled yelp they all jumped up and slammed the door closed and kept their backs to it as they all stared at one another and then Hunter and Tex both shouted "He's coming for you!" and made it a point to literally point at the other girl holding the door shut.
Kiddo was close to her big finish as she stated: "Ohhh...this is almost the end!" her body then began shaking as if trying to warm itself up after being in the cold of winter.
______________________
Killer couldn't think of anything else at that moment...it was pure bliss, and nothing was going to end it...he could stay there forever.
_____________________
Rocker had turned the door knob completely and pushed the door to the room open in just enough time to see the bathroom door slam shut. He frowned when he realized that no-one was in the room, but also saw several shadows coming from inside the bathroom. "What is going on around here...and where is Kiddo?"
-
Sieg stood, and in a moment, muttered a simple charm under his breath.
"Malthinae!"
He uttered, creating a glowing sigil over the door...
Dante and Virgil had leapt up too, each adding a hand in keeping the door shut...
_________________________________________________________________________
Arcia broke the kiss, leaning back for air, and whispering seductively...
"Do you...want this as much as I do?"
To Killer...
_________________________________________________________________________
Lady cocked an eyebrow.
"What are they all doing in the bathroom?"
She asked, moving towards the door...
-
Hunter and Tex were now sweating bullets as they waited for something to happen.
Hex sighed as she knew whatever was about to happen it wasn't going to be good...
___________
Rocker sighed and reached into his pants pocket and pulled out a syringe. He then took careful aim and jammed it into the door, and pushed on the plunger ejecting the contents of the needle right into the door.
Rocker waited for several heartbeats and the door seemed to just melt away into dust. He then saw several things and the one that stood out was his eight year old daughter. "KIDDO!!!" he yelled as he pushed past Hunter Tex, Hex, Dante, and Virgil.
Kiddo then cried out "Ohhh...and now the....big...finish!" ((The room fades out to white for several seconds and all is silent))
After the silence is broken a dripping sound can be heard...
Kiddo then said, "Ahhh...and that...is my famous....cleaning the basement act." She then sat on the floor and fell asleep with her back against the bathtub.
Rocker for his part couldn't move, partially because he was stuck to the floor...literally! The other reason was because of what his daughter had just done.
____________________
Killer didn't even respond to Arcia's question as he kissed her again, this time twisting his body and falling to the floor bringing Arcia with him, but held her firmly but loosely enough that she wouldn't be hurt. He then began to undo his belt buckle.
__________________
-
As Rocker stood there, Sieg simply looked at him, an embarrassed grin on his face...
"Ah...Hello, Rocker..."
He said, trying to sound calm...
Dante and Virgil both had stepped back as the door melted.
"I swear, this isn't what it looks like! Really!"
They both said in unison, then looked at each other.
Lady just stood there, looking at the mess, seeing as she couldn't move either.
"What the seven hells did you guys do?!"
She yelled at Dante and the others.
_________________________________________________________________________
Arcia had already started slipping out of her shirt, a soft murr escaping her lips...
-
Rocker was torn between screaming his head off at his friends and grounding Kiddo for going along with whatever the others had gotten her into. He finally freed his feet and stepped forward and picked up his daughter in his arms. He then sighed and turned around and said, "I don't know who's at fault here...but when I find out....oh you can all bet everyone in this room is going to pay for it!"
Rocker then started to step out of the bathroom and shot a dark look to both Hunter and Tex knowing that the duo had some help in this. He then said loud enough for everyone to hear: "Clean up this mess NOW!"
~~~~~~~~~
Hunter sighed as she heard what Rocker had said. She then stepped forward and said, "Well he is kinda right, we gotta clean this up. Tex, Dante, Virgil, would you guys like to help?"
______________________
Killer sighed as he slid his undershirt off and was now only in his boxers a soft moan leaving his throat.
-
Sieg sighed, and shook his head.
"Well, I guess that could have gone worse, couldn't if have?"
He asked, trying to remain calm...
Dante shook his head.
"Not Bad? He's on a rampage..."
He said, grimly...
Virgil nodded.
"That could prove to be a problem..."
All three guys looked over at the girls, and nodded.
"We'll give you a hand."
They said...
Sieg then decided to talk to all the others in...private.
"Can you hear me? I'm projecting my thoughts into your minds. Don't answer out loud, just think of what you want to say, and I'll hear it."
He sent, to everyone except Lady, Rocker, and Kiddo.
Lady just stood there, awestruck, then turned to follow Rocker...
______________________________________________________________________
Arcia let a muffled moan escape her lips. Somehow, she had managed to entirely strip her upper body, and had her shorts off as she continued to kiss Killer...
-
Rocker walked outside the room and sighed again as his feet continued to stick to the ground. He then reached into a closet and grabbed a blakent and wrapped Kiddo up as he set her down inside another room with a bed. "i'm going back in there...and I'm going to raise hell until I know what they did!" He then turned to Lady and said, "Can you stay here and watch Kiddo?"
____________________
Hunter sighed and thought, 'I know he's going to come back and yell some more...so, who's taking the first nuclear blast of anger?'
Tex gave a sad grin and thought 'I think maybe I should be the one to tell him what happened? I mean it was Hunters fault for letting Kiddo eat the cake, but I did add in the drug...but...I didn't mean for Kiddo to get it.'
Hex giggled herself and thought 'This is going to be funny to see!'
______________________
Killer groaned as he felt Arcia lowering his boxers and smiled as he rubbed her back lovingly and with passion.
-
Lady nodded.
"Sure thing, Rocker. Umm...That was sorta...wierd, but I gotta say...it was rather...excting..."
She said, blushing...
_________________________________________________________________________
Dante shook his head.
" I think it's more Hunter and Sieg's fault than anyone's. After all, you didn't expect Kiddo to get her hands on it. If those two hadn't..."
Sieg cut him off, snapping...
"That's enough, Dante! We're all pretty much equally guilty here, so we should all take the blame..."
Virgil looked over at Hex.
"Funny...doesn't seem like quite the right word, Love..."
_________________________________________________________________________
Arcia began to giggle somewhat as the last barrier between her and Killer slid down, her excitement mounting...
(OOC: Censor bar time?)
-
Hunter visibly shuddered as she thought about what was going to happen. She then thought, 'Ugh...it doesnt' matter who Rocker comes down on we're all gonna fry...I just wanna know, what he's going to do when he finds out what was in that cheesecake.'
Tex sat back down and sighed, but couldn't think of anything to say.
Hex frowned as she thought 'Well I said funny cause I Virgil and I didn't do anything wrong.'
Rocker stopped walking and turned his head slowly as he asked, "Wait...what?! Thats my eight year old daughter, she shouldn't even know how to do that!" He then sighed and said, "I'm sorry...I just wasn't expecting that to happen. Now if you'll excuse me...I've got some tails to fry!"
____________________________________
((OOC: You know IT!!!!!))
Killer smiled as he felt his boxers reach his feet, and in response he simply reached up and kissed Arcia again and again.
-
Sieg nodded.
"That's what I'm worried about. Ohh...We're in for it now..."
He thought, shaking his head...
Dante walked over to Tex, patting her on the shoulder gently.
"It's okay, T. I'm here. And... I'd suggest standing up. Remember what you're sitting in?"
He said to her, smiling slightly...
Virgil sighed.
"The main problem there is that Rocker doesn't know that. Plus, we were in here..."
He trailed off...
Lady smiled.
"Right. Leave some for me, okay?"
She said, grinning...
_________________________________________________________________________
Arcia giggled as she felt something brush her thigh.
"Ohh...Someone's excited..."
She teased...
(OOC: We have a lot of these, huh? ;) )
-
Rocker smiled at Lady and stepped back towards the other room, and sighed as he reached the door, not bothering to look for at the knob of the door Rocker just kicked it in, breaking one of the three hinges keeping the door in place and just stared at the group in the bathroom with a death glare.
Hunter at this point was so nervous that she actually shed a tear our of fright. she then thought 'Oh my...he looks pissed! I'm so gonna get it!'
Tex gasped both as Rocker kicked in the door, and at the realization that Dante was right about what she was sitting in. "Oh...eww...it's all over my pants now...gross."
Hex sighed as she knew that Virgil was right. She then thought Oh crud...then the both of us are still in hot water?
___________________________
Killer smiled at Arcia's comment and sighed as he watched her tail sliding back and forth across the floor.
((Yeah, we do...and it's funny! :lol ))
-
Sieg blanched as the door was kicked in.
"Oh...dear. This is not gonna end well. For anyone."
He thought, shaking his head...
Dante let out a small chuckle, then turned to Rocker...
"Oh..."
Was all he managed to say...
Virgil nodded.
"We are, indeed, Hex...<Sigh> We are so in for it now..."
He thought, his hand reaching for his hip instinctively...
_________________________________________________________________________
(OOC: That it is. Though, anyone who reads this must think we're pretty weird :p )
-
Rocker stormed into the bathroom one anger induced step at a time, and just as he was opening his mouth to shout at everyone there he slipped on the wet floor and banged his head against the counter and fell unconsiouss to the floor.
Hunter was tempted to laugh but held it in as she sighed and went to pick Rocker up only to hear a ripping sound coming from her pants, and then she had the misfortune of slipping on the floor as well and landed on her tail. "Ow!" was the cry that Hunter gave.
Tex could only laugh aloud at the turn of events happening before her as she said, "Well..as long as Rocker is out cold, were all off the hook! Sweet deal!"
Hex giggled and held Virgils hand as she said, "Well then if were' free for the moment I say we get out of here before he wakes up."
__________________________________
Killer sighed as he held Arcia in his arms, just looking into her eyes and wondering where he'd ever gotten so luck to meet a girl like her.
(OOC: Ahhh...let 'em read and watch their heads spin! :DD :lol )
-
Sieg walked over to Hunter, offering her his hand.
"You okay, Hunter? That was some fall you took, love. Need a hand up?"
He said, smiling at her...
Dante shook his head at Tex.
"Yeah...not quite. We can't get out of here, since Lady's outside the door. But yeah, let's enjoy the break we've got, huh?"
He chuckled...
Virgil nodded.
"We can only hope his little...nap will calm him down somewhat."
He said, smirking...
_________________________________________________________________________
Arcia leaned in, kissing Killer deeply.
"You are...the most amazing person...I've ever met..."
She said in a near-whisper, smiling at him.
(OOC: Does that mean we keep these two a little more active? :angel ;) )
-
Hunter scoffed although took the helping hand, and as she stood up she muttered, "What I really need is a good seamstress, or another pair of pants." She lifted her tail to emphasis what was wrong, and indeed a large rip was placed right at the start of her tail.
Tex sighed as she said, "Ya know..we could just gang up on her...sure she's strong, but she can't take all of us."
Hex giggled and said, "I hope he doesnt' wake up anytime soon then."
__________________________
Killer couldn't help but smile as he locked lips with Arcia again. He mured in response, and said with a muffled voice: "I can't begin to tell you how...wonderful, and beautiful you are...my love."
-
Sieg couldn't help but chuckle at Hunter.
"Well, I could try to repair those for you, if you'd like me to..."
He said smiling at her...
Dante thought for a moment, then raised an eye ridge, giving Tex a rougish smile.
"Well now, that might just be a good plan, Tex. But she is holding Kiddo..."
He said, grinning...
Virgil smiled at Hex.
"Somehow, I doubt he will..."
He said, calmly...
_________________________________________________________________________
Arcia giggled.
"You're too kind...Killer..."
She said brightly, letting her hands roam over his chest...
-
Hunter blushed as she asked, "Will I have to be wearing the pants when you 'repair' them dear?"
Tex giggled in reply as she said to Dante: "Ya know, there is a reason we girls carry around two way mirrors in our pockets." She then pulled one out and shined the mirror in the doorway and smiled as she could see that Lady was actually standing next to the bed that was holding Kiddo. "See...easy."
Hex sighed and said, "Then I say we take our chances!"
________________________
Killer sighed and said, "I may be kind, but...you must be a goddess...with a body like this." As he continued to run his hands down her back and across her tail.
-
Sieg smiled at Hunter.
"Well, that's entirely up to you, isn't it, Hunter?"
He said, grinning merrily...
Dante laughed.
"I'm impressed, Tex. Do you think we have any way to sneak past her?"
He asked, a mischievous expression on his face...
Virgil nodded.
"I agree with Hex. We probably should be...somewhere else until Rocker calms himself down..."
He said, nodding wisely...
_________________________________________________________________________
Arcia smiled, then gave a small shiver of excitement as Killer ran his hands along her tail...
"If I'm a goddess, then what does that make you... A God?"
She said, kissing him softly on the neck...
-
Hunter giggled and said in reply:
"I suppose that is."
Tex grinned at Dante.
"Do I have a way' he asks. What a silly question...We go out the window. Simple enough...just try not to step on Rocker on our way out."
Hex then asked, "Uhh...what about Kiddo? When she wakes up, won't she tell her father everything?"
_____________________________
Killer smiled broadly and said, "Maybe, only if you'll be my goddess. you beautiful creature you."
-
Sieg smiled at Hunter.
"Well, which one would you prefer?"
He said, smiling roguishly...
Dante laughed.
"Right. I'll try to avoid stepping on him."
He grinned...
Virgil paused.
"Hmm...Maybe that will be a problem..."
He muttered, shaking his head for a second...
_________________________________________________________________________
Arcia smiled happily.
"That can be arranged...Killer"
-
Hunter giggled as she said, "As long as you don't poke me...I think I'l keep them on dear."
Tex sighed as she heard something coming from the floor and she squealed as she said:
"Oh crap...he's waking up...again. RUN!" At which point she bolted out of the door and headed for the window.
Hex blinked as her sister ran out of the room and she said, "Well...it seems we're going to be having to tell Rocker ourselves now."
At that moment Rocker did indeed wake up and sat up as much as he could without slipping on the floor.
_______________________
Killer sighed and replied, "Ugh...I hate that name...that's just my nick name for that crazy guild I was a part of. My true name...is...hehe...well...you'll just have to force it out of me."
-
Sieg laughed, then reached inside his coat, pulling out a small sewing kit.
"Right. Hold still, then, Hunter..."
He said as he threaded a needle...
Dante bolted after Tex, following her out the window.
"H-Hey! Wait up!"
He said, joining her...
Virgil looked over at Rocker.
"This...will be unpleasant, I think..."
He trailed off...
_________________________________________________________________________
"Oh? That I can do, I think..."
Arcia teased, kissing him again on the lips...
-
Hunter giggled as she rested her hands on the bathtube to steady her body and raised her tail so Sieg would have a clear view of the hole he was patching.
Tex in a moment of youth jumped through the window, placing her hands on the railing and swinging herself over in one deft move, let go of the fire escape and landed feet first on a convinetly placed mattress below.
Rocker groaned as he finally came to. He then sighed as he asked, "I'm still a little dizzy but I'm not stupid...you guys are still in trouble...now help me up so I can at least try to think of a suitable and peaceful punishment for you all.
____________________________________
Killer smiled as Arcia kissed him and he replied "Oh you think so...it won't be easy!"
-
Sieg had just leaned over to fix Hunter's pants when he heard Rocker stir.
"Oh...heh. Hello, Rocker..."
He said, smiling nervously...
Dante followed Tex, leaping out the window and landing next to her.
"Well, we dodged that bullet, I guess..."
He chuckled...
Virgil held up his hands.
"I honestly had nothing to do with this, Rocker."
He said, trying to placate Rocker...
_____________________________________
Arcia let a giddy laugh escape her as she playfully reached lower down Killer's body.
"Oh, I have my ways..."
She said seductively...
-
Hunter blushed as she noticed Rocker getting to his feet, but she didn't have the guts to actually say anything so she just gave a exasperated sigh.
Tex giggled and replied, "I do feel kinda bad about leaving the others up there, but hey I say we go somewhere private and as far away from Rocker for the moment as possible.
Hex was kinda scared as she stuttered "Y-yeah...me neither...we just got...caught up in the spirit of things."
________________________
Killer grinned and moved his hand up Arcia's body and said, "Well I have ways to make you stop."
-
Sieg looked at Hunter, then placed his hand on hers.
"Relax. We'll be fine..."
He whispered to her...
Dante smirked.
"When you say private, do you mean what I think you mean?"
He teased...
Virgil wrapped his arm around Hex.
"I'm here for you, my love..."
He whispered, assuaging her fears...
_________________________________________________________________________
Arcia shuddered.
"Well, I guess it comes down to which one of us will...give first..."
She whispered huskily...
-
Hunter smiled at Sieg's words and whispered back "Thanks."
Tex giggled and winked as she replied "I don't know...what do you think? Actually i'm kinda hungry...lets find some food."
Hex sighed and nodded her head at Virgil and wrapped her tail around his leg.
Rocker stood up finally and said aloud "I want to know what happened in here and to my daughter from each of you one at a time...and after I've heard everything only then will I make my desision on what to do."
_______________________________________
Killer grinned and replied, "I'm sure it will be you who gives...cause no woman can resist my...charm."
-
Sieg looked at the ground for a moment, finally managing to begin his explanation.
"Right...What happened was...Hunter and I brought the cheesecake down here, and Kiddo managed to get her hands on it and eat the whole thing. She got sorta weird after that, and we all ended up watching her do a...'trick...'
He trailed off, not wanting to implicate Hunter...
Dante laughed at Tex.
"Right. What do you wanna eat?"
He said, smirking...
Virgil nodded, wrapping his tail around Hex's...
_________________________________________________________________________
Arcia smiled.
"Well...I'm not...most...women...am I?"
She said, kissing Killer's neck...
-
Hunter sighed knowing that Sieg was trying to protect her. She then spoke up and said, "It was...my idea, to bring the cheesecake down with us. B-but I swear if I'd know Kiddo was addicted to cheesecake...I-I would have never done it!"
Tex giggled and said, "I don't know...do you happen to know where we can get a decent bite to eat around here?"
Hex audibly gulped and sighed, "I am...so sorry Rocker. Virgil and I....were...going to stop them...but...well...Kiddo, she said...wanted an audience."
Rocker remained silent as he listened to the others speak.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Killer grinned and replied, "No I....guess not...but you will still give in before I do." he then moved his hands up to her face and stroked her nose.
-
Sieg nodded.
"Also, we didn't know she would react the way she did."
He added, a serious look on his face...
Dante shook his head.
"Not any ideas where we could go to get food. Shall we go for a stroll?"
He asked, romantically offering Tex his arm...
Virgil nodded.
"That's right. We apologize, but your daughter insisted.'
He said, bowing his head slightly...
_________________________________________________________________________
"Heehee. We'll see about that..."
Arcia said, giggling at the contact along her nose...
-
Hunter at that moment couldn't think of anything else to say so she waited for Rocker to respond however he may.
Tex smiled and wrapped her arm around Dantes and said, "Sure handsome a stroll sounds nice! Lets get going."
Hex sighed and quietly asked, "How much trouble are we in?"
Rocker for a moment just stood silent and thought about what he'd just heard. He then gave a forceful sigh and said, "I'm going to question Kiddo when she wakes up...if anything you guys just said doesn't add up to her story....you can bet someone here is going to need a blood transfusion." with that he turned and walked out of the room and rejoined Lady.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Killer smiled and replied, "Oh ticklish are we?" He began to tickle Arcia around her neck and belly hoping to aim for her toes if he got the chance.
-
Sieg blinked twice in rapid succession, then uttered a curse under his breath.
"Oh... Dear..."
He uttered softly, so that only Hunter could hear him...
Dante smiled.
"Of course, my love."
He said warmly...
Virgil looked at Hex, and sighed.
"If what he said was any indication, we're in pretty big trouble..."
He said, shaking his head...
________________________________
Arcia smiled a little at Killer.
"Maybe I am, maybe I'm not..."
She said, using her toes to tickle at the bottoms of his feet...
-
Hunter sighed and wanted to hug Sieg, but remembered that he still had a job to do and said, "I-I think you need to finish that hole in my pants before something else happens."
Tex giggled Dante and began walking instep with him. "This is wonderful...I do wonder why we didn't hear any yelling from Rocker though?"
Hex's body shuddered.
"I don't know what he has in store for us...but I swear if Kiddo screws us over, I'm going to be the one going on a rampage."
__________________________________
Killer was now trying his hardest not to laugh...as his feet were ticklish and he failed miserably as he said, "O-okay...you...you've got to....stop!" Between fits of laughter.
-
Sieg turned, looking at Hunter, then nodded, taking the needle with thread.
"Right. I'm on it, beautiful."
He said, quickly starting to repair thy hole...
Dante nodded, smiling mischievously at Tex.
"That's almost scaring me. For all we know, he hasn't started telling ,cause he's wait for us..."
He chuckled...
Virgil nodded at Hex.
"Agreed. I'm with you on that one."
He stated, half-grinning...
____________________________________
Arcia smiled teasingly.
"Do you give? Will you tell me your real name?"
She asked, a laugh in her voice...
-
Hunter gave a small giggle as Sieg went back to work ,but she was still worried about Kiddo. "I wonder if we did the right thing giving her that cake?"
Tex smiled.
"Oh now don't tell me one single doctor scares you? Big guy?"
Hex gave a small smile of her own.
"Well I suppose we should at least try to get this floor cleaned up before it starts to get sticky and smelly."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Killer was still laughing as he replied.
"No...not a....chance!" He then ran his hand across Arcia's backside in an attempt to get her to stop.
-
Sieg shook his head, a small hum escaping his lips.
"I can't say for sure, but I doubt we had much choice."
He said, then stood up.
"And... That's done."
He said, smiling at Hunter...
Dante shook his head.
"It's not him I'm scared of. Remember what he did to the door?"
He asked, sounding more amused than worried...
Virgil nodded.
"Right. I guess we should, huh?"
He said, picking up a towel...
_____________________________________
Arcia giggled, wrapping her tail around Killer's hand.
"Then...I guess I'll just have to keep tickling you..."
She laughed, kissing him on the lips...
-
Hunter smiled as she stood up and felt the seam in her pants.
"Good job Sieg, where did you learn to sew like that?" She then giggled and replied, "I suppose you're right though...we did have very little choice."
Tex shuddered as she thought about what Rocker had done to the door. "That was creepy...and he did it with a syringe too. I'd hate to see what that stuff would do to one of us."
Hex following Virgil's lead picked up a towel as well and began to try and clean the floor of the bathroom.
______________________________________
Killer grinned as he felt Arcia's lips grace his. He then murmured "Well..I'm not going to tell you out right...so why don't you try to guess beautiful?"
-
Sieg smiled.
"Well, when you're on your own, you pick up some things."
He smirked...
Dante nodded.
"That's what worries me..."
He said, thoughtfully...
Virgil said nothing, focused on the task at hand...
________________________ ____________
Arcia nodded...
"Not a clue. Care to tell me?"
She asked, flirtily...
"If you do, I'll tell you a little secret of my own..."
-
Hunter frowned and said, "well..I'm glad I found you...being on your won is a lonely ting...ya know?"
Tex stopped walking for a moment.
"We need to go back...and face Rocker. The others all faced his wrath...or lack of as it may be. I want to fess up to him...show him we have courage too!"
Hex continued to clean the floor as well, and looked up to Hunter and Sieg as she grumbled, "Hey...love dinos...wanna help out here?"
________________________
Killer grinned and replied, "How 'bout you tell me your secret first then I'll tell you my real name....no fooling around!"
-
Sieg nodded his head, taking Hunter's hand lovingly.
"I can definitely agree to that... My love..."
He said quietly, nuzzling her, then turned towards Virgil and Hex.
"Right. Sorry. I guess we should help."
He said, grinning...
Dante nodded.
"I guessed you would say that, somehow... Let's go, then."
He chuckled, a smile playing on his face.
Virgil nodded.
"About time you decided to help, lover boy..."
He teased, a smile on his face...
_____________________________________
Arcia blushed, then at last said...
"Okay, you can't tell anyone else this, but... Well, I still sleep with a Teddy bear, and also... My full name is Arcia Katherina Marie Rinslett... Now you gotta tell me your real name is!"
She said, her blush visible despite the darkness.
-
Hunter frowned but nodded her head as she picked up a towel and began to clean the floor too thankful to Seig for patching the hole in her pants.
"I don't want Rocker mad at us, but that little trick that Kiddo demonstrated, (no thanks to me) was fun to watch." she said in sudden need to speak.
Tex giggled as well and asked, "Whats so funny huh hot stuff?"
Hex giggled and said, "It wasn't just fun to watch...it gave me a few ideas." She then winked to Virgil and smiled.
Rocker placed his hand on Lady's shoulder and asked, "How is Kiddo? She still sleeping?"
_______________________________
Killer leaned forward and kissed Acria.
"Thanks for the truth telling moment...I suppose I gotta fess up now. My full name is Kilimanjaro Heartless Darkwing." he then frowned at saying his full name again after so long.
"It makes me sound...evil...I hate my name."
-
Sieg nodded.
"I have to agree. I found it rather fun. And I'd love to see the...originator of that trick try it sometime..."
He said, so that only Hunter could hear...
Dante grinned.
"Oh, just thinking of the look on Rocker's face when he sees us. Should be pretty funny for a second, huh?"
He said, kissing Tex on the cheek...
Virgil winked back at Hex, then leaned in close and whispered...
"That will be some show. If Kiddo's was this interesting, I can't imagine yours..."
He said, smiling back at her...
Lady looked up at Rocker.
"Yeah. She's still sleeping. I doubt that she's gonna be for much longer, though."
She said, smiling at him...
_________________________________________________________________________
Arcia smiled at Killer.
"Actually, I think that your name's rather nice. I don't think it makes you sound evil. In fact it just sounds rather...alluringly mysterious..."
She said, grinning...
-
???
-
OOC: I've got to admit, this topic really got away from me. It also got a bit buried in teenaged hormones, if you understand me. I contributed alot to that, however.... You can continue it, if you like, and I may jump back in.
-
OMG! Raptor! You're...You're Back! We've missed you!
-
Hunters face turned cherry red at the comment Sieg had just made. She snickered as she whispered back to him "I'm sure you'd love to see that wouldn't you? You big flirt you."
Tex giggled and said "Maybe for a second it will be funny...and then we can just mess with him for a while." she then returned the kiss on Dantes' cheek.
Hex blushed as she said, "Oh don't worry, this show will be...'interactive' if you catch my drift.
Rocker smiled as well, and rested his arm across her back and asked, "I know they didn't mean any harm by it, but do you think I was too hard on the others? I mean Kiddo did, willing go along with the idea...I don't know...I'm confused."
_____________________________
"Mysterious huh? Well then, I thinks its time for me to reveal another, mysterious thing about me." he said in a seductive voice.
-
Sieg gave Hunter a blushing smile.
"You know I would, love."
He whispered, kissing her lightly on the lips...
Dante nodded.
"Yeah, we can have a little fun, but let's not push our luck, okay?"
He laughed, wrapping an arm around Hunter...
Virgil blushed at Hex's comment.
"That...certainly sound interesting..."
He said, smiling at her...
Lady shook her head.
"I don't think you were being too harsh on them. I think they should've at least tried to stop her, y'know?"
She stated, putting an arm around Rocker's shoulders...
_________________________________________________________________________
Arcia giggled.
"Oh really? What might it be...handsome?"
She asked, kissing Killer on the lips passionately...
-
Hunter blsuhed but returned the kiss from Sieg as she was enjoying the moment.
Tex gave a light giggle.
"Yeah, I hear ya. I suppose we should all apologize huh?" she asked with a hint of seriousness in her voice.
Hex waved her tail seductively.
"Oh...it will be dear...it will be."
She then gave him a kiss to show she was serious.
Rocker sighed.
"Ya know...Kiddo was probably aware of what was going to happen...she just likes being the center of attention. She would've done it anyway." he said with a warm smile.
_______________________________________
"I can do this..." said Killer as he lifted himself off the floor with only his tail.

Sieg smiled at Hunter with a little blush.
Dante looked over at Tex, lightly kissing her cheek.
"As much as I hate to admit it, yeah. We do. "
He said, an embarrased grin on his face...
Virgil smiled.
"Then.... I can't wait, love."
He whispered in her ear...
Lady giggled.
"Attention hog, huh? We have a little something in common, then."
She chuckled...
______________
Arcia dropped her jaw.
"Hmm... That is pretty impressive."
She said, awestruck...
-
(i'm back now, so we can keep going!)
-
Hunter just held Sieg closer and stared into his eyes.
Tex giggled and looked at the floor for a moment and then faced Dante again. "I suppose we go find Rocker...I hope he still isn't too mad at us."
Hex giggled at that remark.
"Oh really? well then, after we're done here...I say I show you how much fun I can be." she said with a wink.
Rocker raised an eye ridge and asked, "What are you talking about?"
~~~~~
Killer smiled.
"Thanks...now what can you do?" he asked with a sly wink.
-
Sieg smiled at Hunter, kissing her nose lightly.
Dante shrugged.
"I certainly hope he isn't."
He said, then smiled a little.
"But what's the worst he could do, right?"
Virgil smiled.
"That sounds like a plan, my love..."
He replied, lightly pinching Hex's butt...
Lady smiled at Rocker.
"Trust me, I'd do anything to be at the center of the stage. And I mean anything."
She said with a seductive wink...
_________________________________________________________________________
Arcia blushed.
"Compared to that, I don't think I can do much..."
She said, embarrassed...
-
Hunter giggled as she felt Sieg kiss her nose and she smiled.
"Well...thank you. My mate." she said lovingly.
Tex smiled and then whispered into his ear, "He could put us in the morgue and leave us there...but I don't think he'll go that far..."
Hex blushed lightly, as she kissed Virgil on the lips.
Rocker gave his own sly smile at the insuinuation Lady was giving.
"So...anything...Lady?" he asked coyly as he wrapped his arms around her.
~~~
Killer stepped forward and hugged Arcia a moment and whispered to her,
"I'm sure you have a talent...you just have to find it...and bring it to the surface."
-
Sieg smiled happily, resting the tip of his nose on Hunter's.
"You're very, very welcome, my dearest..."
He whispered back...
Dante chuckled.
"If he did, he'd be needing a new door, beautiful"
Dante teased, grinning mischievously...
Virgil blushed too, but he returned Hex's kiss lovingly...
Lady smiled at Rocker with a wink.
"Yep. Anything."
She said teasingly...

Arcia blushed.
"R-Really? That's so sweet of you to think that, Killer!"
She said, hugging him again...
