Sonic Unleashed

Nice pic. awesome.

Mikenno: *ad been watchng the going-ons silently. then, his ears perk up and his fur spikes out* we just put ourselves in grave danger...........

Lightning: what do you....?

Mikenno: we have to free the others. HURRY!!

*all start heading back to base*

MEANWHILE!!!

Twilight: ECLIPSE!!! where'd he go???

Rosette: I DON'T KNOW!!! AAAHH!!! HE REALLY NEEDS TO STOP DYING LIKE THIS!!!!

meanwhile

Me: um... he's already sorta-dead... :P

Lightning: *runs into the control room* got the code! *sticks it into the computer, overriding cantible's hack, then reaches for the mike for the PA*

MEANWHILE:

Twilight: ok, i am seriously confused.... 'cmon, we gotta get back to where acid is, maybe he somehow ended up there.

Rosette: good idea... <:( *still worried about Eclipse*

meanwhile

Me: RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

Twilight: okay. *grabs rosette and runs to where acid's supposed to be* ACID!
Acid: hmm what?
Twilight: is eclipse here?
Acid: i thought he was with you.
Twilight: he suddendly-----

Lightning: *OVER PA* hey guys, we're back!! we're getting you out, okay?

Rosette: good... now that that problem is solved, we need to find Eclipse...

meanwhile

Me: I know where he is... >_>

*the room goes blank, and the door is in clear sight*

Twilight: let's go. *everyone out*

Lightning: hey where's eclipse?

Acid: not here. critic?

Me: he was brought back to life, then captured by Angel. I don't know what he's gonna do to him.

Rosette: oh no! WHAT IF HE TURNS HIM AGAINST US?????

Me: i think that's what he intends, but not in the normal mind control, or manipulation trick.

Rosette: than what?

Me: brain washing.

Rosette: whaaaa?

Me: Inderretta had a machine that messed up people's memories, originally used to extract the memories of enemy soldiers in an upcoming war that never happened. Unfortunatally, you can also put memories in. FALSE ones.

Rosette: so like KH: COM?

Me: yuppers.

Me: ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh no. we need to rescue him. NOW.

Twilight: *full daemon* with pleasure.
Acid: i DO feel like a good fight right about now.
Lightning: well, what are we waiting for?
Mikenno: what about cantible? she's planning something BIG. we cant leave the base undefended.

Me: half of us will go. Half of us will stay.

Rosette: that's a good plan. I'm going with you guys!

Me: a brave move. Are you up to it?

Rosette: ummmm duh. He means a LOT to me, Critic. You just expect me to step aside and hope for a safe return? I'M NOT PRINCESS PEACH, FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!

Me: oh ok.

Me: I'll stay here. If what I think she's doing is what she's doing, the Mark Five is about to become much more dangerous…

Aria: Then I'll go help with Eclipse. Never know how much a good kick to the head can help…

Me: *Deadpan expression* You're horrible.

Aria: *Wide grin* But you love me anyways.

Me: In a totally platonic fashion. I already have a boyfriend. ((I will get off my lazy @$$ and draw him one day… don't tell my boy though Mish…))

((no problem ^^))

Mikenno: *ear twitches* ..... i'm staying.
Twilight: I'm going!!
Acid: same here.
Lightning: then im staying. mish?

Me: depends on what critic decides.

Me: i dunno. Do you WANT to stay, Lightning?

Rosette: maybe he should accompany Twilly incase something goes arway.

Me: good plan.

Lightning: okay then... does this mean you're staying, critic?

Me: i guess i'll stay. i AM the best shot here. ^^

me: alright... it's risky to let both artists stay, but then again... you guys can take care of yourself. ALRIGHTY THEEEEN! ^^

Rosette: let's go.

Aria: Any idea where he is?? I've never heard of this guy… 

Me: I think he was some sort of doctor once… don't know much more than that though… doesn't like hybrids. Thinks that they're the result of bestiality or some similar s^&*.

Aria: I hate bigots. They all need a good kicking…

Me: you mean Angel? Yeh. Angel kidnapped Eclipse. I like him for looks. He's rather... er... hot... BUT YES!!! He is an extremelly angry christian. Oh my, now THOSE are dangerous XD

Twilight: okay.
Lightning: where to, critic?

Mikenno: .......

Me: *looks at mikki in concern*

Me: to Angel's place... though... I think what needed to be done is done...

Rosette: THEN WE GO! IT DOESN'T MATTER!

Me: WHERE IS IIIIIT?

Me: Angel's place is Newman's place which is Inderretta's place. You got that?

Me: ...what?

Lightning: *nods* got it. twilly? rosette? acid? you ready?
Twilly+Acid: *nod*
Vera: *had been silent the whole time* ...good luck.

me: WOAH. I FORGOT YOU WERE THERE. Also, same as Vera.

Rosette: okay then ^^ thx!

Aria: All right, let's go rescue Clipsy… he's rather danger prone, isn't he??

Me: *Drily, obviously sarcastic* A veritable damsel in distress. Be careful… this is just… too convenient…

Aria: *Laughs* Don't worry!! I doubt even This Angel dude could stomach Cantible's guts…

Me: Nevertheless…

Aria: *Waves it off* All right, let's make like a banana and split!!

Me: we need Twilly to get going though.

Twilight: *truns to her full daemon form and grins* ready when you are!

Half my group: *hops on*

Aria: *Hops on and in a sing-songy voice* I believe I can riiiiiide…

Me: *In sing-songy voice right back* I believe you should shuut up…

Twilight: *laughs, but it comes out sort of like a bark* oops XD

Lightning: LOL. *climbs on*
Acid: you're insane, aria.... *climbs on also*

Twilight: please keep your hands and legs inside the vehicle while the vehicle is in motion. *in elvis imitation* thank ya very much.

Me: XDDDDD

me: just go, Twilly.. XDDD

Rosette: let's be serious about this.

Twilight: okay, sorry. hang on!!! *runs out of the sim room and down the hallway, heading to inderetta's old base*

Me: *glances at mikki, concerned* ......

Mikenno: *looks like he has a really bad headache*

Me: NOOOOO!!! I CAN'T TAKE HIS DEATH AGAIN!!!!! *hugs Mikenno* HOLD ON, MAN!!! IT WAS ONLY A LETHAL BLAST OF LIGHTNESS!!!! YOU CAN MAKE IT!!!

meanwhile

Rosette: *determined*

((gonna let fugue get back on and comment, mkay?))

((m'kay.))

Aria: To pull a page out of Cantible's book, I'm not insane, I'm mentally deranged!! *Laughs in joy as the ride starts* This is awesome!! We're going to have to do this… *Notices Mikenno* Hey, you all right?? You better be… Don't need to give Fugue any more gray hairs, am I right?? *Chuckles nervously*

Me: *Watches them depart, before turning to the others* All right. I think I know what Cantible's done with at least two of the emeralds… and maybe the third… but I think she won't do too much with Acid's besides examine it… she's not stupid. Unfortunately.

Me: goshdarnit.

Mikenno: *suddendly falls to his hands and knees*

Me: oh no!! not here too!!

Vera: what's going on?!

Me: HE'S GONNA DIE!!!!!!!!!!

Meanwhile

Rosette: I SENSE A DISTURBANCE IN THE FORCE

Fugue: *Moves over to Mikenno* Come on, don't go... please...

Aria: *To Rosette* Do you think it was Mikenno?? He was looking a little under the weather when we left...

Mikenno: it's too late now... my fate is set... i have to leave soon....
Vera: ohhhh...... *looks towards the floor* *under her breath* that's seven now....

Me: huh?

Vera: seven deaths, including multiple deaths by the same person.

Me: oh. didnt know you were counting.....

MEANWHILE!!

Twilight: i think it is...... *digs her heels in and screeches to a halt* should we go back?
Lightning: ..........

Rosette: even if we WERE to go back, it would be too late to say our goodbyes... :(

meanwhile

me: MIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIKIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

Aria: Gawd d*%&it... We have to go forward. For Eclipse, and for Mikenno... it's too late now...

Me: *Has fallen silent, and is just staring blankly ahead.*

Twilight: *nods sadly, then continues on her way, a tear rolling down her cheek*

MEANWHILE*

Mikki: ....sorry guys...... *fades into nothing, and is gone*

Me: ohhh...... *cry*

Vera: .......... *bows her head*

Me: i have seen his death too many times now... *sniffle*

meanwhile

Rosette: rrrrgh. We need to get there!

Aria: Don't want to tire Twilight out though in our rush. Might need her...

Me: *Tears up, cries quietly, before quickly stopping myself* We... need to be on guard. Never know what else might happen...

Me: fugue's right. we dont want to be surprised by cantible.

MEANWHILE!!

Twilight: are you kidding me? i'm barely breaking a sweat! *speeds up*

((fuguuuuuue..... you were on the edge...... and they spelled your name wrooooong..... XD))

Rosette: alright... that's good...

Eclipse: *poofs out of nowhere through a portal thingy, gets shot the opposite direction in which everyone was head, and crach-lands on the ground*

Eclipse: owww....

Rosette: WTF?????????????

meanwhile

Me: bam. Paradox.

Twilight: *screeches to a halt* was that eclipse?! *turns back and runs over to him*

Eclipse: ugh... where am i...? *gets up and rubs head*

Rosette: um... Eclipse? You're in GREENHILL CITY... you must've crashed harder than you should have...

((Least I was iiiiiin it. And I had my picture in it too… mwahahaha))

Aria: What The F… ?!?! What the hell is happening?? Didn't Ecplise, you know… bite the bullet??

Rosette: ah... no... he came back... but I don't think we got the whole package, here...

Eclipse: hey, do you guys know where I am? *seems to not reconize them*

Aria: *Anime 'Miffed' mark appears on her forehead* Do not tell me he lost his memory… that is so d%^& cliché…

Rosette: arrrgh.... tell me about it...

Eclipse: *confused*

meanwhile

Me: it seemed like a good idea at the time...

Twilight: *facepalm+anime sweatdrop* oh god, we didnt need another shadow...... god**** that angel......

Lighting: *sighs* well, we're just gonna have to deal with it...... at least until we can get his memory back.

Twilight: should we start heading back?

((Mish got kicked off for failing a test. *Mourns*))

Aria: I guess... Do you suppose that Angel is up to something with this??

Lighting: Well obviously. He wouldn't have taken Eclipse otherwise....

Aria: I meant more along the lines of replicas 'n all that jazz....

Rosette: he already has a clone. Last time we saw Newman, he was with Angel. They, together, were trying to insert false memories into Eclipse, so that they could start building a group of dark mobians. That is a potential future threat.

Me: how do you know all this?

Rosette: I read the other rp's.

Me: ah.

Eclipse: ... ... ... huh? Wait, wait wait wait... STOP. HOLD ON. Can SOMEONE PLEASE explain to me what's going on, why am I here, WHERE am I here, and... er... *embarresed* who am I?

Rosette: THEY DIDN'T EVEN LEAVE YOU WITH YOUR NAME????

Eclipse: who left me with what now?

Rosette: *facepalm*

Aria: *Exasperated, she lets off a string of curses that could make a sailor's ears fall off* Your name is Eclipse. *Looks over at Rosette* So what are we going to do exactly??

Rosette: I don't know... this has never happened to anyone I know before... well, while I was THERE.

Eclipse: so you guys know me?

Aria: This is annoying... do we proceed or head back to HQ??

Twilight: I think we should head back Critic.

Me: agreed.

((so you're rping for Mish now?))

((She's sneaking on under my name. So in a way, yes.. could Cantible have provided the memory device to Angel??))

Twilight: *Reverses direction, heading back to base*

Aria: What a convulted world this is... Cantible must love it... the chaos caused...

((kekekekeke.... im sneeeeeeeeeeeeeaking!! O.O dont tell, fugue!!))

Lighting: it's as if the whole world's falling apart...... i hate this...

((yes to Fugue, and OMGJC RLY??? to Mish.))

Eclipse: confusion.

Me: PARADOX!

Eclipse: *VAMPIRISM*

Me: tis a disease.

Aria: I think… I think Cantible might be in on this. I'm pretty sure they used a machine or something to do this to Eclipse, and she loves Chaos… this would be right up her alley…

((Mish got kicked off for failing a test. *Mourns*))

Aria: I guess... Do you suppose that Angel is up to something with this??

Lighting: Well obviously. He wouldn't have taken Eclipse otherwise....

Aria: I meant more along the lines of replicas 'n all that jazz....

Lightning: well, technically we do........

Me: technically???

Lightning: yes, technically.

SIM ROOM!!

Acid: *sits back down and puts his face in his hands* oh god.... she'd better not.... not now... not here......
Vera: you'll be ok, acid.....
Acid: it's not me i'm worried about....

G Eclipse: <you fear for the saftey of your friends...>

Me: HOW DID YOU KNOW????

G. Eclipse: :|

Me: oh right.

Cantible: Hmmmmm... make it three, and a vial of Eclipse's ectoplasm, and we have a deal. I'll need it within the next week of course. No need to have an open timelime... you'll dither too much, and that's no fun...

Aria: Sadist... Just you wait til the next time we meet face to face...

Fugue: Don't antagonize her...

Lightning: ............

Me: ...lightning?

Lightning: not too sure about this...... critic?

SIM ROOM!!

Acid: he's right, ya know. with cantible in the driver's seat, who KNOWS what she'll do....... she has access to all my files..... she knows EVERYTHING about me....
Vera: not everything......
Twilight: ???

me: It's fine. What can she do with ectoplasm, anyway?

G. Eclipse: <very well...> *removes some, which becomes a green liquid*

Me: ew....

Twilight: now that's just gross.
Vera: tell me about it.....

CONTROL ROOM!

Lightning: ok, cantible, if you want your emeralds and that vial, you need to return control of the sim room to us so we can let the others out.

Cantible: I'll let one out. No need to let all of my rats go before I recieve payment. Choose one to let out... Acid stays in though.

Aria: That's cold...

Cantible: Well, never said I was nice.

Me: Who should we let out?? Lightning do you have any ideas??

Lightning: lets see..... who can help most in negotiations? and who can escape if something goes wrong?

Me: Twilight could run if necessary, but vera's a better negotiator..... critic?

SIM ROOM!!

Twilight: ........
Vera: ........
Acid: ........they betterlet me out soon...i dont think i can take it much longer.....

G. Eclipse: <try to hold in your frustration a little longer, Acid... I'm sure the others will help us out soon...>

Rosette: Eclipse, i have no idea what you just said, but i agree with you fully!! ^^

G. Eclipse: :|

Rosette: ^^

G. Eclipse: :|

Rosette: ^^

G. Eclipse: :|

Rosette: ^^

G. Eclipse: <um... alright...>

menwhial

Me: I thinkit we should be letting Vera out. Cantible seems more reasonable then Eggman. We can use her to our advantage.

Lightning: ok then. CANTIBLE!!! we need you to let vera out, but we need to give her a message first. will you let us do that?

me: oh yeah, we need to tell ger we need acid's emerald....

SIM ROOM!!

Acid: *ear twitch* ....someone wants my emerald........ *crosses his arms tightly* ...........no.
Twilight: ...how does he know that...?
Vera: he sort of knows when someone's talking about it.... its kind of like a built in sonar......
Twilight: coooool.......

*A small box pings up in the corner of the screen*

Cantible: Type in there. Be warned though, I'm monitoring what you're typing, and if you try to do anything else but communicate to Acid, Vera and the rest, then the deal is off.

Aria: *Thinking* What is she up to??

Me: *Worried look on face* All right, looks clear. Let's hurry, before she changes her mind.

G. Eclipse: <Cantible... i understand the emerald part, but what on earth would make you want my ectoplasm?>

Me: Eclipse's ghost has asked you what you want with his ectoplasm, Cantible.

Lightning: okay..... *types into the box* "hey guys, lightning here. you guys are being held hostage right now. dont freak, it wont help. we're only allowed to let one person out right now, so vera, get ready to leave. but first, you need to grab that vial eclipse has and acid's chaos emerald. tell himm not to freak out. if he does, try to calm him down, we need that emerald if you guys wanna get out of that room." *done typing* ok, cantible, im done.

MEANWHILE:

Twilight: ...... *ear twitch* they're letting one of us out. not sure who, though.
Vera: if we're being held hostage, it's definitely not acid.
Acid: ......... *takes something out of the inside pocket of his jacket. it is a shiny black chaos emerald* .........if only they had given me chaos control....... grrrrrr........ *clutches the emerald tightly* the others want this emerald. im sure of it.

((i can't do anything until Fugue replies))

((me knows))

((Sworry… ))

Cantible: *Types in a short code, in the simulation room, Lightning's message appears in Blood Red letters* All right, I've transmitted your message. You have until next Friday, 7 pm. I'll be waiting at the aforementioned drop point then. If you collect the needed items before that… the Kitsune can reach me. *PA clicks off*

Aria: She's gone…

Me: She still here. She's just not speaking.

(everyone in the room reads the message)

Acid: *as soon as he reads "acid's emerald" he yells* I KNEW IT!!
Vera: acid...... if we all wanna get out of here, i need that emerald.
Acid: *clutches it tightly* you know im not giving this up, right?
Twilight: acid, it's out only chance if we all wanna get out alive......
Acid: ......
Vera: ......
Twilight: .......
Acid: .......fine. just fine. *reluctantly gives the emerald to vera* keep it safe, will ya?
Vera: *nods* with my life. eclipse, i need that vial. apparently im the only one allowed to leave.....

MEANWHILE!!!

Lightning: *slumps back in his chair and groans* ugh.... what has this world come to...?
Mikenno: thats life, lightning. there are both triumphs and losses.......

G. Eclipse: *nods and gives Vera the vial with TEH GROTESQUE SLIME*

Me: ew.

Vera: *holds it at arm's length away from her* thats kinda yucky...... lightning? i want out!
Acid: .......
Twilight: good luck, vera.
Vera: thanks, im gonna need it....

MEANWHILE!!

Lightning: looks like vera's ready... *starts typing a code into the computer*

Me: yayz! We get to see Vera again! ^^

G. Eclipse: <good luck...>

Vera: *nods* thanks. *goes to go out through a door that want there before but then---*
Acid: *grabs her free arm to stop her*
Vera: *looks back at him*
Acid: ....come back, ok?
Vera: *smiles at him* i will. *briefly kisses him, then goes out through the door*
Acid: *watches her as she leaves, and when she's gone, he leans against the nearest wall and slides down into a sitting position. he sighs*

CONTROL ROOM!!!

Lightning: and she should come out right... about... now.
Vera: *comes out of the sim room carrying the emerald and the vial* ugh. glad to be out of THERE...... but i hate having to leave acid in that terrible place....

Me: he'll be fine ^^...... maybe.....

Vera: *nods* i'll take your word for it......

SIM ROOM!!!

Acid: *is still sitting against the wall, staring at the floor*
Twilight: *walks over to him and sits down next to him*
Acid: *glances up at her, then resumes staring at the floor*
Twilight: ...... you're really lucky ya know? luckier than most.
Acid: *still staring at the ground* and how is that?
Twilight: you have someone. someone who cares about you. someone who will stand by you no matter what the situation. most people i know arent that lucky.
Acid: *closes his eyes and laughs once* i guess you're right on that one.

G. Eclipse: <she is. She's totally right. I'd have lost all hope while i was alive if it wasn't for Rosette... like Twilly said, you're lucky...>

Me: VERA!!!!!!!! WOOT!!!!

Acid: heh....... *resumes staring at the floor*
Twilight: *looks around*

MEANWHILE!!!

((copied fugue's comment))

fugue: As long as we keep up our end of the bargain, everything will be fine… now, what about the two other emeralds??

Aria: Are we just going to do NOTHING and let her get away with this??

Fugue: *Glares at Aria and mouths* Later.

Aria: *Rolls eyes* Whatever…

Lightning: we have two more. i just gotta go get them. they're in a very secure room.

Me: *phew*

Me: You hear that Cantible??

Cantible: *Practically purrs over PA system.* Of course I did Kitsune. Two hours then. Station square. Arrivederci!!

Aria: Show-off… so who's going to go with to the tower??

Lightning: be back. *runs off somewhere CLASSIFIED*

Me: well, vera's going. i think one of you two should go too. you know cantible better than any of us.

me: total agreement.

G. Ecipse: <raaahhh! I could HELP!!! I could help if i was ALIVE!!! BUT I'M DEAD!!! THIS IS SO ANNOYING!!!>

ME: I'll go. Aria will just lose her head if she goes…

Aria: Will not!! I'll just…!

Me: Want to kick her head off and rip her guts out. And then we'll end up nowhere. I'll go. Aria, you stay here, to ensure she doesn't try anything else. Cantible's bound to bring at least one of the Crystals with, just in case it comes down to something… 

Aria: Fine. Who else then?? I don't want just you and Vera going…

Me: lightning could go. she made the demand to him in the first place.

Lightning: *comes back winth two chaos emeralds, a red and a dark blue* i got em.

me: hey light, will you go with vera and fugue to meet cantible?

Lightning: *nods* definitely.
Mikenno: ....im coming too.
Lightning: ?

SIM ROOM!!

Acid: *still staring at the floor* chill out, eclipse. there's nothing we can do now except wait.
Twilight: ...or we could explore.
Acid: .....what??

G. Eclipse: <what do you mean, Twilly?>

MEANWHILE

Me: errr.... sure. Yeah. I agree. I do.

Twilight: well, i think just sitting here is a complete waste of time. i'd rather go look around than die of boredom. who knows how much of the arc is in this program?
Acid: ....you have a death wish, dont you?

G. Eclipse: <I'm... actually interested myself, Acid... but if you don't want to join us...>

MENWHIAL

Me: LEZ GEDDIT OOOOOONNNNNN!!!!

Acid: ....i think i'll stay... i'd rather not remininsce.
Twilight: well thats it then. *stands up* rosette? eclipse? ready?

Rosette: I think I'd like to explore Shadow and Acid's sorta-home. ^^

G. Eclipse: <same here. I'm just as interested.>

Acid: *under his breath* more like torture chamber....

Twilight: heard that. lets go! *heads down a hallway*

Me: All right. Let's go then. She'll arrive promptly. That's just her style…

Aria: *In Cantible's voice* I'm never early. Nor am I late. A Robotnik arrives precisely when they mean too… *Back in her voice* Be careful Fugue. We'll supervise the sim room.

Me: *Nods and starts to leave*

Lightning: lets go, guys. *leaves the room carrying the two emeralds*
Mikenno: *follows silently*
Vera: *glances back at the sim room monitor, then sighs and follows*

Me: .......she really doesnt wanna leave him there.....

Me: I know it SEEMS cruel to separate them, but this is for the best...

meanwhile

Rosette: *heads down the hallway as well*

g. Eclipse: *silently follows Rosette*

*A little under Two hours later, at the top of the tower*

Me: *Standing around, waiting.* She should be here soon. You guys ready??

*At the Sim Room control area*

Aria: Do you think they're all right in there??

Me: yes :D..... or... no.... maybe?

Me: its highly likely they havent run into any trouble yet.....

SIM ROOM!!

Twilight: *continues down the hallway until she sees a door marked: "experiment room"* hello. what do we have here? hey guys, wanna go in?

TOWER!!

Lightning: *is tapping his foot impatiently* you said she wouldnt be late......
Vera: calm down, lightning, you're getting me agitated.

Me: gahahahaha.... experimentation room... that would be where Acid was... er... "made special" and where Shadow was MADE.

SIM ROOM

G. Eclipse: <i don't know if i want to see the horrors of the experiment room...>

Rosette: let's check it out!

Twilight: eclipse, you've been outvoted. *inspects the door* hmm..... oh! keypad. what could that passcode be? lets see...... think like a robotnik, twilly, think!!

CONTROL ROOM!

Me: you mean think like a total moron? lol.

Eclipse: <wouldn't the password be Maria?>

MEANWHILE

Me: it totally makes sense. He's a moron - of COURSE he'd use the same password for everything!

Twilight: genius, eclipse. *enters the word and the door unlocks* well THAT was oddly easy......too easy. *opens it slightly* im gonna go see if we'll be in any danger. brb. *slips in through the barely opened door*\

Me: OOOOOOOO. shez gonna get eaten or somthing XD

G. Eclipse: <... be careful, Twilly...>

MEANWHILE

Me: oh that would suck XDDDDD

Twilight: *from in the room* whoah..... guys, get in here....

Me: OOOOOOOOh.

G. Eclipse: <hmmm....> *walks in cautiously*

Rosette: ^^ *walks right in*

Twilight: *is staring at a big glass tube in the center of the room* that looks like thats where they put them......

*the rest of teh room is full of unidentifiable equipment, obviously used for experimentation*

G. Eclipse: <all of these tools look cruel to use and painful... poor Acid...>

Rosette: :(

*Flapping is heard. Cantible rises into sight, sitting on the back of one of the larger Crystal models, the mark three. The Crystal mark Five is soaring right beside her. IN Cantible's hand is a computer disk.*

Cantible: Good afternoon. How are you today??

Me: Let's just get this over with.

Cantible: *Laughs* So where are the emeralds and the ectoplasm??

Lightning: they're right here, cantible. *holds out the two emeralds in his hands*

Vera: *holds out the vial and the black emerald* free our friends. NOW.

MEANWHILEZ

Twilight: whoah.......

G. Eclipse: <this is very sad to look at...>

Rosette: I can't imagine Acid having to go through all this...

meanwhile

Me: CANTIBLE!!! What does your name mean? Or is it one of those names that don't mean anything? Are you an OC, or a real Sonic Character?

*Cantible steps off the Mark Three, who landed. Mark Five is stepping right beside her as Cantible walks forward towards Lighting. She extends the hand holding disk*

Cantible: This disk has the code required for their release. My emeralds, and my ectoplasm please.

Me: *Eyes her supsiciously* What do you want with those anyways.

Cantible: You'll find out soon enough....

((Critic... are you talking to me, or to me in the rp?? I'm unsure....)))

((it doesn't matter, so long as i find a freakin' answer XD))

((She's an OC. I have a picture of her and the Crystal Mark five posted online, if you want to see what they look like.))

((luffly :3))

Lightning: *takes the disk and gives her the two emeralds*

Vera: *holds out the black emerald and the vial* here you are cantible.

MEANWHILEZ

Twilight: yeah, seriously...... this is horrible.... im glad acid didnt come, or we'd be mince meat.

G. Eclipse: <well... YOU guys would be...>

Rosette: you don't have to rub it in our faces that you're dead...

G. Eclipse: <WHY DON'T YOU ALL BELIEVE ME WHEN I SAY I HATE BEING DEAD???>

meanwhile

Me: whee! We'll see the others again!

Twilight: well, being a ghost does have it's advantages.... *walks around the room* i wouldnt leave my friends either, eclipse. if i were to die right now, i'd rather spend the rest of eternity as a ghost than go to heaven and never see my friends again...... *laughs once* i probly wouldnt end up there anyways...... *keeps looking around the room*

G. Eclipse: <of COURSE you'd get sent to those big gates Twilly! You wouldn't go to hell... you're not evil enough!>

Rosette: Inderretta is evil enough ^^

meanwhile

Me: I need a hug now...

Twilight: heh. thanks for that one..... *still looking around* i've done things in my life im not proud of.....

MEANWHILEZ

Me: *HUGZ*

Me: oh ok... *hugs back* ^^

meanwhile

G. Eclipse: <like what? I can't imagine you doing something terrible...>

Twilight: not necessarily terrible, just....... not good. i dont wanna talk about it now, maybe later..... *stares at the big glass tube in the middle of the room*

G. Eclipse: <whatcha lookin' at?> *stares also*

Rosette: uhhh.... a big glass tube?

meanwhile

Me: godamnit, Fugue!

Me: i'll get her at school.

MEANWHILEZ

Twilight: im guessing thats where they put them. all 3 of em.

Rosette: ew...

G. Eclipse: <i didn't need to know that little tidbit of info...>

meanwhile

Me: OKAYZ.

Twilight: what? its a giant glass tube, where do you think they'd put them?? sheez. ......wonder whats it would be like in there...... for shad, acid and freya i mean.

G. Eclipse: <wait wait wait, FREYA????>

Rosette: ok, now I'm lost.

meanwhile

Me: I'm lost too @_@

Twilight: you mean you haven't heard of project F.R.E.Y.A.? oy. Freya was the first life form created on the ark, the "lifeform of destruction." she got taken out on a test run and went crazy, leaving her practically dead. gerald, not wanting freya to die, found a girl, barely alive from the carnage. a girl called lynn. he sealed freya inside lynn, saving both of them. but now lynn is tormented by freya, and freya isnt happy with the fact she's sealed into a sixteenyearold. the order they were created was Freya, Acid, then Shadow.

Me: lynn and freya belong to lynn_the_fox.

Me: ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

meanwhile

G. Eclipse: <all this time, and i never knew Freya was an experiment...>

Rosette: I bet after Shadow, Eggman plans to create 623 more experiments.

Stitch: FAKER!

Twilight: not funny.

Me: YA IT WAS!!! XDDD

G. Eclipse: *posseses Stitch, and makes him rip his head off, then flies out of the body*

Rosette: D:

meanwhile

Me: oh lawl.

((I;m sorry!! It wasn't showing any updates!!))

Cantible: Thank you... *Starts walking away* I'll be seeing you... *Takes off on the Mark 3, the Crystal Mark 5 close behind*

Me: I don't think she's done.... She has something up her sleeve...

Lightning: well, OBVIOUSLY. no one asks for a load of chaos emeralds to put them in a museum.

Vera: and knowing robontnik, she's DEFINITELY gonna do something......

MEANWHILEZ

Twilight: oh, thats just gross. to you mind cutting that out, eclipse? especially here of all places?

G. Eclipse: <sorry.>

Sora: omg i KNOW! He's just a big faker! MY DODGE ROLL!!! YOU STOLE MY -

G. Eclipse: *stabbity on Sora*

Sora: squeek *dead*

meanwhile

Me: maybe she'll create a CHAOS PONY!!!!! :D

Me: NOT FUNNY.

Twilight: *sweatdrop*

G. Eclipse: <of course it's funny.>

Rosette: Eclipse...

G. Eclipse: <kidding.>

Rosette: -_-

meanwhile

Me: I LERV PONIEZZZZZ

Twilight: -_-; even as a ghost you still kept your sense of humor.......

me: he won't be a ghost for much longer.

meanwhile

G. Eclipse: <This room is a little fre - AUUUGH!!! OH GOD OWWWW!!! AUGH!! AUUUUUUUUGH!!!! *disappears*

Me: Well... let's head back and get the others out before Cantible goes back on her deal... she does that sometimes...

*On the EggCarrier*

*Cantible is pulling out what used to serve as the Crystal Mark Five's Eyes and replacing them with the chaos emeralds she got as part of the deal with HN. Part of The Ectoplasm has been placed in a machine, which is running tests on it*

Me: As long as we keep up our end of the bargain, everything will be fine… now, what about the two other emeralds??

Aria: Are we just going to do NOTHING and let her get away with this??

Me: *Glares at Aria and mouths* Later.

Aria: *Rolls eyes* Whatever…

comment up there ^^

Cantible: Hmmmmm... make it three, and a vial of Eclipse's ectoplasm, and we have a deal. I'll need it within the next week of course. No need to have an open timelime... you'll dither too much, and that's no fun...

Aria: Sadist... Just you wait til the next time we meet face to face...

Fugue: Don't antagonize her...

Me: *Perks up* Simulation room??? HN has a simulation room??

Aria: *Sighs* Stop drooling Fugue.

Me: Not drooling.

Me: maybe i was wrong... maybe he's not here -

*a shard of broken glass is flung at my head from an unknown source*

Me: oh come ON! I JUST managed to clean my face up from that rabid chao sequence!!

meanwhile

Rosette: there we go! Let's head on out then!

Lightning: awesome. i'll have to go get talon though. he's the one that knows how to work it. twilight?
Twilight: i'll take em there.
Lightning: cool. *runs down the other hallway*
Twilight: this way! *heads in the opposite direction*

Acid: *follows reluctantly*
Vera: *is literally pushing him forwards*

MEAnWHILE!!!!

Mikenno: who's there?? *shows his sharp teeth. show yourself!!!

G. Eclipse: *fades into visibillity (though barely. You have to squint to see him)* <M... Mikenno? And... oh god... CRITIC!! I'm sorry!>

Me: wha huh?

G. Eclipse: <right... you can't understand me... it's just... you guys scared me... I'm a little jumpy right now...>

me: oh. *relaxes* you scared me there for a second, eclipse. dont worry critic, its just eclipse.

Me: HOW DID YOU GET HEEEEERE????? O_O *glass shard falls off* *blooooooood*

G. Eclipse: <I really am sorry... It's been scary around here... I tried asking for help, but no one seems to hear me...>

Mikenno: i see. well, we're here now so you dont need to worry. *smiles, but is feeling a mix of sadness and concern*

G. Eclipse: <Mikenno? Are you ok?>

Me: my blood is seeping from my head... doesn't that cause blaaaack....ooouuu.....ts... *falls over*

Aria: No need to shove…

Me: You'll just kick 'em if they're going too slow…

Aria: *Wide grin*

Me: *Sigh*

Acid: whoa-k. no kicking please. *walks faster*
Twilight: almost there ^^

MEANWHILE!!!

Mikenno: huh? no i'm fine. *sees critic blacked out on the floor* umm..... critic?

Me: Don't worry Acid, I'll stop her before she kicks ya.

Aria: No you can't.

Me: Watch me.

*Glare contest*

Me: ah hurrrrrrrt.................

G. Eclipse: *guilt* <ah jeez...>

menwhrial

Rosette: Come on Acid, you'll be fine...

Acid: errr..... *is now scared of being kicked*
Twilight: we're here!!
*lightning and an orange aviwolf wave from a window in the control room, then point at a door nearby*
Twilight: *opens the door* IN! ^^
*everyone goes in*
Lightning: ok acid, the door to the simulator is over there. *points to a door with a red stop sign on it* just go in there and tell us where you wanna go and what type of enemies ya wanna face.
Acid: .....okay. *goes inside and stands in the seemingly plain room* ........

MEANWHILE!!!

Mikenno: come on, critic, you've had worse than thaaaat... *stands her up*

Me: *Eyes are hearts* It's so lovely…

Aria: *Sniffs in disdain* Cantible would love to get her hands on this…

Me: She already has one of her own…

Aria: *Laughs* She'd love just to see it, if only to figure out how it works, the little b&*(^

*On the EggCarrier*

Cantible: *Sneeze*

Crystal: *Robotically* Are you all right Mistress??

Cantible: Fine. Though I have a speaking suspicion that somebody is talking about me…

Me: owie. Ok... tis all good... *to Eclipse* DON'T CHUCK GLASS AT MY HEAD!!

G. Eclipse: <i SAID i was sorry!>

menwhial

Rosette: *observes every detail of the room*

Lightning: okay acid, we just need to know where you wanna go, and who or what you wanna fight.

Acid: ......the arc. robots. lots and lots of robots.

Me: makes sense, considering that grudge he has against gerald and robotnik.

MEANWHILE!!!

Mikenno: *lets out an involuntary "mrrow" of laughter, then catches himself* jeez, keep forgetting im a flippin' CAT!!

Me: Put in the Crystal Mark 5… that'll be cathartic.

Aria: *Drily* For you maybe.

Me: Might as well kill two birds with one stone…

Aria: *Pinches the bridge of her beak with two fingers* You're incorrigible sometimes…

G. Eclipse: <yeah... why are you like that anyway? Isn't your disguise a hedgehog?>

Me: He switched.

menwhial

Rosette: the ARC... I've heard of it... Shadow would tell us stories of his time there... well... all he could remember of it, that is... it doesn't seem like a very happy place...

Lightning: gotcha, acid. loading arc program now. *lightning and the orange aviwolf type some stuff into a screen, and the seemingly plain room acid was standing in has now become one of the many hallways of the space station ARC*

Acid: *shakes his head* god, how i HATE this place.....

Me: you see, unlike shadow, he was just a plain hedgehog before the arc. the experiments they did on him... *shudders* i dont even wanna begin to think.......

Lightning: loading robot programs...... done. knock yourself out acid!!

Acid: *laughs* i think i'll try not to, thank you very much. *faces the robots that have appeared in the hallway* here goes everything!!


MEANWHILE!!

Mikenno: heheh. i kinda stormed into HNHQ in my demon form. ^^;; so everyone was giving me weird looks. i had to get a new disguise. as soon as everyone stops freaking out, i'll go back to hedgehog. blech. i hate fuzzy....... meow. GODDAMMIT!!! *smacks himself*

Me: rofl. Blaze would dig you if she didn't like Silver, Mikki...

G. Eclipse: <oh... there has been a change in things can come...>

Me: so you sensed your future child?

G. Eclipse: <don't i have to be alive for that?>

Me: we'll find a way. So... Mikki... how good are you with kids?

menwhiarl

Rosette: it's worse then i ever imagined... everything is so bleak and sad...

Mikenno: you're kidding.

MEANWHILE!!!

Vera: yeah, from what he told me, it must have been horrible. *looks at the screen* oh boy. there he goes.

Everyone: *STARE AT SCREEN*

Acid: *his pupils have become snake-slits, and his fang grew somewhat*
*teh robots are all around him, guns pointed*
Acid: heheheheheheheh..... *suddendly leaps forward, then seems to pass right through one of the robots. as he lands on the other side of it, the robot explodes*

Lightning: WHOA. that's SOME power.....
Vera: you haven't seen the half of it.....

Acid: *grabs the next robot and it advanced towards him, then literally rips it in half. he throws the pieces of robot and some other robots nearby, and they explode. all during this, he has been laughing insanely*

Twilight: *wide eyed, she takes a step away from the door to the sim room* i can see why he didnt want to show us at first.......

Rosette: yeah... *backs away as well* truthfully speaking, he's terrifying me... and I have to deal with Condemned...

meanwhile

Me: i kid you not.

G. Eclipse: <we kid you not>

Me: but he's cuuuuuuuuuute...

Me: Go Acid... what?? *Notices something wrong on the screen* Hey guys?? There's something wrong...

Aria: I don't see anything wrong... Fugue, you're imagining things.

*On the Egg Carrier*

Cantible: *Is typing rapidly into a computer. Crystal mark 5 watches silently, hooked up to said computer, to accelerate the process*

((November 18th, It comes out. Sonic Unleashed))

Acid: *has finished emolishing all the robots, and is standing in a middle of robot pieces, panting heavily* heh... heheh........ *falls to his knees, still panting heavily*
Vera: he's done. turn it off.
Lightning: okey. *types some stuff into the computer and the room returns to normal*
Vera: *runs into the room and goes towards acid*
Twilight: whoa, wait!! is he safe??
Vera: if hes on his knees like that, he's expended all his energy. so, yes. *kneels down next to him* acid? hon? you ok?
Acid: huff...yeah...huff.... *looks up towards the control room, and yells* TOLD YA IT WOULDNT BE PRETTY! huff...huff....

MEANWHILE!!!

Mikenno: *is dead serious* eclipse, you know i would never refuse to help you. *puts a hand on eclipse's almost non-existent shoulder* if you want me to take care of your child, i will.

(Sorry Mish, about to interrupt... and sorry for the Godmode...)

*Lines of data start to pop up on the computer screen. They start appearing faster and faster. All of a sudden the Simulator reactivates, however, the coding does not allow those in the control room to see what is going on in the Simulator. In the simulator, a scene from Acid's past is being contructed around the two inside*

Aria: What's going on??

* On the screen, an emblem of two mechanical dragons, curled into the Yin Yang circle, pops up. Underneath the emblem is written: Chaos is the score upon which reality is written.*

Me: It's Cantible! We need to get them out of there!!

*In her room on the Egg Carrier*

Cantible: *Leans back in her chair* The die is cast. Let the fun begin!! *Laughs*

Crystal: Program completion: 57 Percent.

Me: It's not quite yet, Mikenno... if Eclipse lives, though, there will be... er... yeah. Adorable fuzzy thing.

G. Eclipse: <IF i live...>

Me: :(

menwhial

Rosette: WHO THE HELL IS CANTIBLE????

Aria: Eggman's neice!!

Me: A real nutter. We don't get along... she likes chaos too much...

Aria: She's inheirited Eggman's prowess with Robotics too... D%^& we need to get them out of there. *Yells* Guys, can you hear me?? Get OUT!!

Acid: *looks up, and at first is horrified at the scene, but then, horror turns to rage* who the hell put me back in here? what the heck is going on??
Twilight: i dunno!! lightning what are you doing?!
*no response from the control booth*
Twilight: we're being hacked.
Vera: not cool. especially in this place. not good at all.

CONTROL ROOM!!!!

Lightning: WTF is going on???
Talon: the room's being hacked! *frantically starts typing into the computer* this code's gonna take a while to break. hope the program they're in isnt too dangerous....

MEANWHILE!!

Mikenno: i know. and you know, i'll never hesitate to help.

me: awesome ^^

G. Eclipse: <thank you, Mikenno... um... amybe we should head back to the HQ...>

MEANWHILE

Rosette: *falls over and bleeds*

Lightning: ROSETTE!! what the heck happened???

Me: i gotta call mikki, this is getting too outta hand. *presses the red button on her watch and typre in the number 666* come on mikki, git over here....

MEANWHILE!!!

Mikenno: *nods* agreed. *something beeps on his wrist, then metal band on his wrist has a flashing light on it* and not a moment too soon! eclipse! can you fly? *turns demon*

G. Eclipse: *looks at Mikki as if he's crazy* <um... no.>

Me: the ghosts-can-fly thing is a myth. He can only walk through stuff that wasn't built when he died.

Mikenno: crud. *gets on all fours* climb on, then, critic, i have an idea.

MEANWHILE!

Me: someone get neo in here!!!!

Acid: *rage is building* why are we here? why? who put us here?!
Vera: *calm down, acid, you dont wanna lose it.
Acid: *takes a deep breath and tries to calm down*

Me: *eyes shine with delight* I get to ride you again???? *gasp* 8D

G. Eclipse: <um... what?>

menwhiael

Rosette: *iz pretty screwed, man*

Cantible: This is too easy... Time to step it up. *Starts to hack into the other databases in the HN HQ.*

Control Room:

Me: Be careful... Cantible loves to put traps and stuff in her codes.

Aria: It's spreading.

Me: this is not cool.

Lightning: *frantically typing* tell me about it!!
Talon: *urgently* virus is spreading, lightning.

Vera: *checks on rosette* she's not doing well at all. we need to get out. NOW. that one might blow too. *pointing at acid*
Acid: *rage is building, but he'sdoing his best to contain it*
Twilight: rosette's fate isnt up to us.....

MEANWHILE!!!

Mikenno: yes you are, critic. *grabs eclipse by the wrist (which is possible for demons) and takes off* dont let go, eclipse!

G. Eclipse: *looks down nervously* <uh... i don't PLAN to...>

Me: WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

meanwhial

Rosette: *iz still screwed*

Lupe: *is banging on the door to the sim room* HEY!!! WHATCHA GUYS DOIN' IN THERE??? OPEN UP!!!

Me: crud. whaddowedo????

Lightning: you can let him in, but dont let him near the sim door!! *still typing frantically*

Me: okey then..... *lets lupe in*

MEANWHILE!!!!

Mikenno: *is flying as fast as he can back to base*

Me: 8D

G. Eclipse: D8

meanwhile

Lupe: gawd... ya guys really need to unlock tha' door - hey, waz goin' on here?

Me: whatever's goin' on, its bad.

Talon: *typing frantically, does NOT look away from the computer screen* we've been hacked!

Lightning: *also typing frantically* yeah, and vera, acid, twilight, and rosette are trapped inside.

Me: we can't open the door, beacuse if we do, there's a very likely chance that they'll be terminated along with the program.

MEANWHILE!!!!!

Mikenno: *flaps his wings faster* dont worry eclipse, we're almost there.

G. Eclipse: *his ghost-like fur poofs up a bit* <yeah... I hope so...>

Me: 8D

meanwhile

Lupe: well... that dere IS a predicamen'...

Rosette: *is getting better?*

Mikenno: we're here. *lands right in front of the door*

MEANWHILE!!!!

Me: ya go that right. and the place they're in isnt a good one....

SIM ROOM!!!!

Twilight: so now we wait.
Vera: i hope acid doesnt blow... or we'll be fighting for our lives.....
Acid: *is managing to contain his rage* ......

Me: aww... *gets off Mikenno*

G. Eclipse: *falls off Mikenno, then gets up again with haste*

menwhral (i like to butcher it XD)

Rosette: *yay she's better but still unconcious*

Lupe: Then... I'm just an extra guy. Do ya nee' help wit' anythin'?

Lightning: we might need you if acid loses it. *still typing*

Talon: *tying faster* hopefully we wont need you.

Me: and so we wait.

SIM ROOM!

Vera: .......
Twilight: ........
Acid: ......... RRRARGH!! *suddendly stands up and punches a wall, making a dent in it*
Vera+Twilight: O.O
Acid: ...... *sits back down* sorry. needed to get that out of my system ^^;;;;
Vera+Twilight: -_-;
Twilight: you could have warned us, ya know.

MEANWHILE!!!

Mikenno: we need to get to the sim control room. *turns into his cat form*

Vector: FIND THE COMPUTER-----

Mikenno: *kills vector*

Me: THANK YOU! ^^

G. Eclipse: ... <walks in>

MEANWHILE

Lupe: Alright. I'll... uh... try my best.

Lightning: *still typing, hears the THUNK of acid punching the wall on the inside* oh jeez. we gotta get this thing goin'!!

Talon: i'm working as fast as i can!!!

INSIDE!!!

Twilight: .....
Vera: .....
Acid: ...... *stands up*
Vera+Twilight: O.O
Acid: ...what? *starts pacing*
Vera+Twilight: *phew*

Me: dude. Acid's a timebomb.

G. Eclipse: <then we must hurry>

Mikenno: *nods* this way. *heads down a hallway to the right*

MEANWHILE!!!

talon: grr.... THIS CODE WONT CRACK!! *is highly frustrated*
Lightning: thats a robotnik for ya. *still typing*

Me: *taps her foot impatiently* that cantible sure is a sneaky one......

INSIDE!!!

Acid: *still pacing*
Vera: *so quietly only twilly can hear* he's getting nervous. he seems to be controlling himself ok, but he's not sure how long it might last....
Twilight: *nods*

G. Eclipse: *follows Mish*

Me: c'mon Mikki! *follows Mish as well*

meanwhile

Rosette: *wakes up* h-huh? What's going on??

((dude, mikki's the one you're following.... XD))

Twilight+Vera: SHHHHHHHH!!! 8|
Acid: huh? *looks over to the three girls and notices rosette is awake* oh, you're up.

OUTSIDE!!

Me: .... *still tapping my foot*

Talon: *suddendly* THATS IT!!! lightning, we havent tried attacking the source! crash their system before they can overload ours!!
Lightning: that is GENIUS my friend!! *turns back to the computer* let's roll. *both start to type frantically again*

MEANWHILE!!!

Mikenno: we're here. *knocks on the sim room door*

Me: huh? *open the door* mikki! critic!! eclipse!

Me: *annoying kirby voice* hiiiiiiiii!

G. Eclipse: *lightly punches me in the shoulder*

Rosette: Eclipse! :D

G. Eclipse: <Rosette!>

*Rosette and Eclipse try to hug, but Rosette goes through Eclipse and falls down, Eclipse, still not used to the weird feeling of being walked through, falls down as well*

Me: *cough*lol*cough*

Me: whoa wait, eclipse got into the sim room O.O

Mikenno: he's a ghost. the laws of physics dont apply to him.

Lightning: huh. odd. he shouldnt be able to get into where the others were......
Talon: antivirus program, created. launching program now. *typing*

INSIDE!!!

Twilight: eclipse? how did you...? oh.
Vera: so eclipse can get in.
twilight: apparently so.
Acid: ah! you too, eclipse? it's like a freaking reunion in here!

G. Eclipse: <glad to see you too, Acid...> *get's up, then makes his hands solid enough to help Rosette up*

Rosette: thanks, "Clipsey"...

G. Eclipse: *smiles at Rosette*

*Look at top to see my post… you guys missed it. T_T*

((found it, fugue!!! pasted it))

Me: The only way that Cantible will let us get around the code is if breaking the code causes more chaos than letting the code stay online. And if we take too long…

Aria: She'll just start screwing with the computers for a little fun.

Cantible: *Has hacked into the PA system* Am I really that predictable?? How unfortunate… *Simpering giggle* I digress… I wish to speak with whoever is in charge of Hybrid Nation. And the Kitsune.

~~~

Lightning: whoa, hey, talon hold up. what do you want, cantible?? haven't you caused enough trouble already??

MEANWHILE!!!!!!

Acid: *starts pacing again* .........

Vera: ......
Twilight: .......

Cantible: To Be Frank?? No, not nearly… But I digress. I've been hearing all these wonderful rumors about demons and the like… and I know they're true, simply because I've met the Kitsune… anyways, if you wish for your friends to go free, a few simple demands… one, two chaos emeralds, and two, the ghost of Eclipse, the former host of Condemned to be delivered to…hmm… how about Station Square?? At the top of the Savage Skyscraper?

Me: And if we refuse?

Cantible: Acid was one of my Great-Grandfather's experiments. I have the data available to recreate the experiments in the simulator…

Aria: You're such a b^&(^

Cantible: *Laughs* Sticks and Stones love.

G. Eclipse: <you've got to be kidding me! That's cruel!>

Rosette: Why???

Me: because she's evil. Like Ivo.

Acid: *stops in his tracks, and his eyes widen. he looks around frantically for the control room, but it is completely hidden from their sight* she's bluffing!!! she wouldnt!!!

Vera: unfortunately, i dont think she's kidding.....
Twilight: ooh, when i get my hands on that girl..... *her fur fluffs out in anger*

CONTROL ROOM!!!

Lightning: grrr.. that girl's starting to get on my nerves......*thinks* how about another chaos emerald instead of eclipse's ghost? does this sound good?

Mikenno: *thinking* just like lightning to not give up a friend...... but do we even HAVE three emeralds?

Me: .........

G. Eclipse: <uh... do we HAVE three emeralds?...>

Me: idk.

Rosette: omfg.

*comment is up there ^^^^*

Me: The only way that Cantible will let us get around the code is if breaking the code causes more chaos than letting the code stay online. And if we take too long…

Aria: She'll just start screwing with the computers for a little fun.

Cantible: *Has hacked into the PA system* Am I really that predictable?? How unfortunate… *Simpering giggle* I digress… I wish to speak with whoever is in charge of Hybrid Nation. And the Kitsune.

Twilight: *lets out a small gasp, and stops singing, listening in disbelief to the long beep. then, grief overcomes her and she leans agains lightning's shoulder, crying*
Lightning: *puts an arm around her, tears also flowing freely* .....
Mikenno: oh god..... *falls to his knees, unable to hold it in anymore, and sobs*
Me: *bow her head, and falls to her knees next to mikenno, but isnt sobbing as much as mikenno* ....eclipse......

Fria: *tears flow, but the song doesnt stop*

so tired of the straight line
and everywhere you turn
there's vultures and thieves at your back
and the storm keeps on twisting
you keep on building the lie
that you make up for all that you lack
it don't make no difference
escaping one last time

Me: *joins this verse*
it's easier to believe in this sweet madness oh
this glorious sadness that brings me to my knees

*everyone else in the room joins in for the last verse of the songeveryone but mikenno, who hums the melody a few octaves lower. the sound is almost eerie*

in the arms of an angel
fly away from here
from this dark cold hotel room
and the endlessness that you fear
you are pulled from the wreckage
of your silent reverie

*everyone sings louder, almost overcome by grief*

you're in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort there
you're in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort here...........

Me: he won't. He's still here. He still walks among the living... but is not of the living himself... only his closest friends will see him...

Rosette: *tries to calm down* s-so... so he's a GHOST?? *sobs again*

Me: well... yeah. But he's a SMART ghost. He's not the type who is stuck in some time period, or does something over and over. If he tries hard, he'll be able to interact with us...

Me: *looks up hopefully* r-really? who.... who does he consider his closest friends? *looks to mikenno in concern*

Mikenno: ........ *has stopped sobbing out loud, but tears still flow freely*

Me: *a big grin spreads across my face* us. All of us. He became a ghost because he refused to forget us. Even Manny is included (though Eclipse might scare Manny in his ghosty form).

Rosette: where will we find him????

Me: *grin turns into a small frown* I'm not sure...

Mikenno: *looks up as if he was surprised, then starts to cry again*

Me: mikki....... *hugs him* its ok, mikki, we'll be able to see eclipse again...come on, dont be sad.....

Mikenno: *in between sobs* i....i'm not sad. *looks up at mish and critic, eyes brimming with tears and a smile on his face* they're tears of joy......

Me: *realizes* oh my gosh... wait, since mikki's a demon, then.... technically.... he's a ghost, right??? wouldnt he be able to talk to him?????

Me: *Is sobbing silently, a veritable river of tears flowing down her cheeks* You may be gone… but you'll never be forgotten… I'll make sure of that…

Aria: *Is in other room, but can sense Eclipse's passing. She is silent, her beak pressed shut tightly*

((I can't get on during weekdays anymore… officially… I can try to sneak on during school… before school actually, but my ability to participate is going to drop… Mish, if I don't post regularly, feel free to control my characters… I'd really appreciate it…))

Me: Maybe... there could be a chance that it may work.

Rosette: i do hope so...

((got it, fugue. but only if absolutely necessary, m'kay?))

Mikenno: ...i know it will work. *stands up, but wobbles a bit* whoa. jeez. *manages to stand straight* dizzy. not fun. *looks over to critic* im gonna go look for him. will you come with?

Me: ....good luck.

Acid: ..............
Vera: ..............

Fria: *wipes tears away, then tilts her head towards the door* (........i'm gonna go check on my brother. call if you need me....) *walks out of the room*

Me: understood. Mikenno? We should leave now.

Rosette: If i come I'll get in the way. I'll stay here...

Me: good plan, Rosette.

Mikenno: okay. *walks out of the room and shuts the door after critic comes out* do you think he'll be in the HQ? of in greenhill city?

*nameless hybrids stare at him*

Mikenno: ........... looks like they all saw me. time for a new disguise...... brb. stay here. *goes down another hallway*

MEANWHILE!!!!

Me: ......
Lightning: .......
Twilight: ......
Acid: ......
Vera: ........

Me: ok, thats it. i can't take extreme silence!!!!!

Rosette: there's nothing to say...

menwhial

Me: Alright, Mikki. He... he ended up in Greenhill but who knows whether he traveled or not...

Mikenno: *comes back, he now looks like a white and black cat* hope this helps... *looks around, no one stares* good. lets get over to greenhill and search there. *goes outside*

MEANWHILE!!!

Me: grr..... *sits down on a nearby chair with a thump*

Lightning: she hates quiet. it unsettles her.........

Rosette: I'm sorry Mish... there's just... nothing to talk about...

menwhial

Me: alrighty. *follows*

Me: i know, i know.... it's just.... *sigh* i hate quiet. it makes me feel vulnerable... no joke..... i cant even SLEEP without some sort of noise......

MEANWHILE!!!

Mikenno: ....how far is greenhill city from here?

Me: not too far. About a mile or two from here.

menwhial

Rosette: I'm sorry, Mish... it must be hard...

Aria: *Has been released into Fugue's care* Least you can think straight. My head's still pounding from that beating... *To Fugue, very quickly and with a burst of anger* Not a word.

Fugue:*Is leaning against a wall* My lips are sealed. Anyway... what is the state of the rest of Hybrid Nation?? There must have been some fall out...

Me: *thinking* THANK you. I think the rest of HN is fine. the right against ryu was far enough from the base that i think only the outside was damaged. that scuffle with acid may have caused some internal damage though.....

Acid: *hangs his head* .......
Vera: *gives him a hug and snuggles against him*

MEANWHILE!!!!

Mikenno: .......... do you wanna walk? or fly? *grin*

Me: omfgflyplzthx.

MENWHIALLLLL

Rosette: well... the damage seems minor compaired to what USUALLY happens... stupid demons...

Mikenno: okay then ^^ *turns to his full-size demon form (which happens to be around the size of a horse) and gets on all fours* hop on if you dare!

MEANWHILE!!!!

Me: i'll have talon and dio check on the damages. they'll fix it up in no time.

Acid: *still head-hanging*
Vera: *still hugging*

Rosette: <:) it's ok, Acid... you were just angry... it happens...

menwhial

Me: WHEEEE!!! *hops on* giddyup! O3O

Acid: not like that........ i'm just a thief and demolition machine. i have no choice but to do what i do.
Vera: *huggles* that's not true, acid.

MEANWHILE!!

Mikenno: oof! heheh. this is gonna be an interesting takeoff. hang on critic! *crouches down, then leaps into the air, flapping his huge wings to get himself aloft. he seemed to be struggling to stay up, then he caught an updraft and rose up to a dizzying height* ah... finally. *spreads his wings all the way and glides lazily with the updraft* greenhill city, here we come!

Me: yayyyyyyy!!! *throws hands in the air* I'M THE KING - er... QUEEN OF THE WOOOORLD!!!!

Everyone Who's Seen Titanic: FAKER!!!!

meanwhile

Rosette: but you're better now, Acid!

Mikenno: *tries hard to supress a lugh, but fails* hahahaha!!! you enjoying yourself back there?? XD

MEANWHILE!!!!

Acid: i may have control over what i do, but being a thief is in my DNA. i can't stop. it's like an addiction. *to himself* f***ing gerald and his f***ing experiments.......if he was alive i'd f***ing kill him.....

Rosette: *positivly* well every addiction can be broken! ^^

Menwhial

Me: i so totally am. Eclipse never let me fly with him the way he did with Rosette... O_O... ECLIIIIIIIPSSSSE!!!! *sob*

Mikenno: ............. *looks down to the ground* i think we're here. *lands a little bit outside the city, and returns to his cat form* eh. gotta get used to cat....

MEANWHILE!!!!

Acid: *shakes his head* its not as easy as you'd think....... i was MADE to kill. i was made to thieve, to scheme, to destroy. it takes all of my willpower to supress the killing urge..... im just simply not capable of supressing the others as well......

Rosette: *voice turns serious* would you rather be locked up in a dirty little cell, never to see Vera again?

menwhial!

Me: but kittehs are teh r0x0r! Look at Rosette! She can be totally badass sometimes! AND BLAZE! AND - well, not Big...

Mikenno: *laughs* ya got a point there. but im so used to hedgehog...... might take a while to get used to it. come on, we gotta get moving.

MEANWHILE!!!

Acid: WHAT?!? HOW DARE YOU EVEN SUGGEST THAT???? ARE YOU INSANE??? DO YOU-----
Vera: *suddendly puts a finger over his lips, silencing him completely* acid..... a no would have been enough. *enbraces him in a hug*
Acid: !!!

Rosette: *a small smile spreads across her lips* she'll help you...

meanwhile

Me: alrighty. Um... where do we begin...? *looks in a garbage can, only to be attacked by a rabid chao*

Aria: At least try. If you don't try, you're giving up before you start... gah, Fugue you're wearing off on me. I'm saying inspirational s$%^...

Me: *Laughs* Maybe it'll help Aria...* Dodges kick* I'm sure you can do it if you try hard enough ACid...

Acid: *hugs vera back* who's to say im not? you can't see the effort i put into restraining myself. you do NOT wanna see me NOT trying.
Vera: trust him on that one. i've seen it before, and it's not pleasant.

Me:...maybe...... a controlled environment?

Acid+Vera+everyone else: ???

Me: put him in a room with some sort of target!! he can release his control of that part of himself and see what happens.

Acid: .....are you out of you goddamn mind??? thats pure insanity!!!!

MEANWHILE!!!

Mikenno: ......chao. lets see, what places hold the most memories for him?

Me: *face is now a bloody mess* I noticed. Anyway, the place where most of his memories reside are in the old alleyway, two blocks from here. You'll know it when you see it. Dried blood stains the walls, and it has that sad feeling to it...

meanwhile

Rosette: Mish, that's BRILLIANT! :D

Acid: *tunrs on rosette* WHAT???? YOU ALL MUST BE INSANE!!! YOU ACTUALLY WANT ME TO GO CRAZY????

Me: yup ^^

MEANWHILE!!!

Mikenno: ....okay. *walks two blocks down the street with critic, then stops at an alleyway.* is this it?

Me: it is, Mikenno... it definetally is...

*the alleyway is dark, and gives you a depressing feeling. It is also unnaturally cold. Where Eclipse stayed during his childhood, blood has splattered, and dried, neglected of any rain that may have come over the years, for a roof over it blocked any water from washing away the hedgebat's painful memories. There are broken glass shards that were never cleaned*

me: *a shiver is sent down my spine*

meanwhile

Rosette: it will help you vent your needs... please, Acid, just try...

Me: It's actually a good idea. Releasing your rage in a controlled setting is a good way to deal with anger and stress. Professionals use it all the time.

Aria: Professionals do. You don't want amatuers, aka us, trying it on our own. And we don't...

Me: *Raises eyebrows* We don't?

Aria: We are not asking Cantible. We are not... She's Eggman's neice, and if you remember, the last time we talked with her, we ended up running away with our tails between our legs!!

Me: So??

Aria: Ack!!

Me: oh god, not Cantible...... not her and that accursed robot of hers.....

Acid: .......fine. but if i hurt anyone, i blame you.
Vera: you wont. we wont be in the same room.

Lightning: i know the perfect place. follow me pleez!
Twilight: wait, what about......?

MEANWHILE!!!

Mikenno: .......ECLIPSE!!! are you here???

Me: Where are we going??

Aria: Could always use the testing room in the shop. It's safe there.

Lightning: simulation room. the walls there are practically bullet-proof, and acid can release all his energy fighting the simulations while we watch on a screen.

Me: GENIUS!! 8D

Acid: .......bulletproof huh? *grins* i might have fun with that........
Vera: now THATS the acid i know ^^ *hug*

Me: *walks over to where eclipse is lying and sits down next to him* ...... *sigh* what has this world come to.....?

Mikenno: heck yeah! now we're talking!

*teh cloud of steam dissipates, and ryu is standin' there*
Ryu: ....... prepare to meet your fate.

Me: nuh UH! Prepare to meet YOURS! *activates teh powahz*

Rosette: what are you - ?

Me: HADOKENNNNNNN!!!!! *rips off Street Fighter on Ryu*

Ryu: O.O WHAT THE----- *gets pwned* argggh!!!

Mikenno: thats it!! keep hammering her!
Twilight: *rams head-first into ryu*
Mikenno: *tries to get in closer to slash at her*
Lightning: *electric-spinballs right into ryu's back*

Me: *nonstop attacks of lighting and various desserts at Ryu*

Rosette: *shoots at Ryu like CRAZY*

Eclipse: *just.... lays there....* @_@

Me: *looks over at eclipse* *thinking* rest well my friend, you have a long few days ahead of ya....

Ryu: GGGGRRRARGH!!! *is overwhelmed by the sheer number of attacks coming at her, and cant hold her form, she reverts to her original appearance* agh.... *falls to her knees*

Mikenno: *stands over her* not so high and mighty NOW are ya, ryu? *grins*
Ryu: *looks up at him* grrrrr.......

Me: step on her face! STEP ON HER FACE!!!!! >:D

Rosette: ..what???

Eclipse: @_@

Mikenno: naww, im not that mean. i CAN do this however. *turns around and slashes a hole in the air, opening a portal to the demon realm*
Ryu: you will pay for this, mikenno...... ill make sure of it.

Mikenno: who wants to toss her in? *wide grin* any takers?

Me: Mikenno. YOU.

Rosette: I think you deserve to push her back more than any of us.

Eclipse: @_@

Mikenno: *grins HUGELY* fine by me! *grabs ryu by the tail and dangles her in front of the hole* any final words?

Ryu: ......F*** YOU!!!

Mikenno: yeah, i thought so. *tosses her in, then shuts the hole behind her* done ^^

Me: WHEEEEEE!!!!!! *hugs Mikenno* ....

Rosette: ....

Eclipse: @_@


Me: WHEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!! *over-glomps*

Mikenno: okay, i love you too ^^ plutonically of course ^^ *hugs her back*

Twilight: *returns to normal*

Eclipse: @_@

Rosette: *weak smile*

Me: dude. Mikenno. Eclipse is gonna, like, DIE.

Aria: *STill Unconscious. She's been picked up by Fugue, who is carrying her like she's giving the Mockingbird a piggy back*

ME: *Walks over slowly, a pensive look on my face* I wouldn't relax just yet… who knows what'll happen next…

((Thanks Mish))

Mikenno: ....yes, i know. soon as i saw him fall unconcious like that, i knew his end was near. it brought me back to my senses. thats why i wanted to get rid of ryu fast...

Me: so she couldnt take his soul..........

Mikenno: exactly.

Lightning: *his stripes return to their normal color* fugue's right. we can let our guard down yet...... come on, lets head back to HQ......

me: alright. *picks up Eclipse* 0_0...... he's warmer then last time.

Rosette: D8

Eclipse: *breathing has worsened. His weezing has turned raspier (if that's a word), and louder, as if he's struggling with it*

Mikenno: i got it. *grabs eclipse from critic, and flies into the air, heading for the base*

Acid: ....this isnt gonna end well, is it?
Lightning: *shakes his head* we gotta get back. HN! move out! *starts running back to base, the others following*

me: lol, Lightning. You sound like.... Chang? From Mulan....

Rosette: "Chang" is such a stereotypical Chinese name.

Me: is actually "shang."

Lightning: -_-;;; whatever. we just gotta get back to base.

Me: oooohhh... I'm just so used to Chinese people with the "sh" sound spelled "ch". They seem to NEVER use "Sh" except with cities and stuff. Wow. Disney screwed up yet again.

Rosette: come on, Critic! *follows Lightning*

Me: *sigh* coming...

Lightning: *leads them back to the base in silence* *thinking* i hope mikenno made it back with eclipse ok....

MEANWHILE!!!!!

Neo: *is pacing anxiously just outside the base* they shoulde be back by now.....
Mikenno: NEO!
Neo: huh? *looks up at mikenno who is carrying eclipse* whoa, mikki? what in the name of---
Mikenno: no time. medical room. NOW.
Neo: *nods and runs into the base, closely followed by mikenno*

me: Lightning... when Eclipse finally dies... we... well... Condemned needs a new host... do you know how long it took for ECLIPSE to learn to control Condemned? We... we may need to help the new host...

Rosette: a NEW host..? But... doesn't he get one every CENTURY?

Me: not this century. This century is filled with so much hate, war, discrimination, and other problems like that, that Condemned can stay here as long as he wants. It's like his own all-you-can-eat buffet.

Lightning: *nods* we'll do all we can to help. hybrid or not, the new host needs to be assisted.

*they approach the base*

Manny: *runs out of the base right up to lightning* lightning, sir, neo wanted me to tell you that the black and white hedgehog is in medical room umm.... *thinks* OH! D-13!! this way! *runs back into base*

Twilight: come on. *runs in after him*

Me and Rosette: *follows*

Me: The new host... could be a serious issue...

Me: Who is the new host… that's the question. With so many people in the world, it will be both difficult and easy to deduce…

Aria: *Is slowly waking up* Shut up… no phil'sopy… not this… early… gah…

Me: *Glances at Aria* She should be checked out too…

me: Rosette will see to it, yes?

Rosette: of course.

Me: The new host is a hybrid. He used to be a pirate, and has been taught the wrong things. He's been corrupted with evil, but has hope of redemption. The pantherwolf named Lupe...

Aria: Hee hee a Wanther... or a Polf..

Me: We need to get her to a doctor before she says anything stupider...

Twilight: there's an empty room over there *points to another hallway* scorch, you need to go with them.
Scorch: b-but.... why?
Twilight: dude, your arm is bleeding.
Scorch: oh. ow. *goes to the room down the hallway*

Manny: right here! *points to a door marked "critical"* hes not doin' too good......
Lightning: thanks manny.
Manny: no problem, sir!
Lightning: *knocks on the door once, and it is opened from the inside* .....come on. *walks into the room*
*twilight, fria, acid, and vera follow*

Neo: hey guys....... *looks towards a hospital bed, where eclipse is. he has a heart monitor and an IV*
Mikenno: *looks at the others with obvious sadness in his eyes, he knows there is no way to change this* hes not going to last much longer.........

*Aria has been dropped off with a nurse. Fugue has come with the rest to see Eclipse*

Me: *Looks down at him stoically* Is this to be the end then? *The words are quiet, echoing slightly in the room. Fugue herself looks uncomfortable. She is reminded eerily of her grandfather's deathbed scene, and it draws unpleasant memories to mind.*

Me: His breathing just got worse.

Heart Moniter: *slows down*

Rosette: oh god!!!! *sobs*

Me: Condemned will free himself tomorrow. Tomorrow. We will find Lupe on Emerald Street in Greenhill City. If we hurry, we will get to him right before he's possessed... not now, though. Tommorrow. Now we stay with our harmed friends.

Me: *tears come to her eyes* we.... we should focus on the present. we'll worry about condemned when the time comes........

Lightning: *stares blankly at eclipse's deathbed* .....

Mikenno: *an unforseen event occurs, he closes his eyes, and begins to weep*

Me: m-mikki.....? oh, mikki..... *goes over to him and embraces him in a tight hug*

Me: Mikki...... *hugs him also*

Eclipse: hff... hff... hff... *slowly opens his eyes* ow...

Rosette: omg look!

Eclipse: how long... hff... was i out...? Where's... hff... Ryu?

Me: she's been sent back.

Eclipse: *eyes fall upon Mikenno* oh god... hff... is he...?

Me: no.

Eclipse: Mikenno... I'm glad... hff... you're back...

Mikenno: *is too distressed to speak*

Me: he says thanks.......

Eclipse: I feel... hff... like HELL... *hard cough. It looks like it hurt* agh... hff... that was a nasty one... hff

Me: you talk funny.

Eclipse: i'm like like... hff... a fish out of... hff... water... *glares at me*

Me: 'love you too, man.

Eclipse: hff... what's... hff... happening...?

Me:... to you? I'd rather not talk about it... you just sleep...

Eclipse: I'm afraid... hff... if i sleep... hff... I won't wake up again...

Me: are you tired, though?

Eclipse: *weakly* very.

Mikenno: *is still really distressed, he cant talk at all*

Me: he's never felt this much grief since becoming a demon...... its too much for him.....

Twilight: *is trying to supress tears, but is failing*
Lightning: *shakes his head in disbelief* *thinking* this cant be happening.......
Neo: *he bows his head, also trying to supress tears*

Fria: *does something highly unprecedented. she sighs audibly and begins to sing*
Spend all your time waiting for that second chance
For the break that will make it ok
There's always some reason to feel not good enough
Me: *still hugging mikenno tightly, she joins*
Mikenno: *is still unable to speak, but shakily hums the melody*
And it's hard at the end of the day
I need some distraction, oh beautiful release
Memories seep from my veins
They may be empty and weightless, and maybe
I'll find some peace tonight

Twilight: *manages not to cry and joins in*
In the arms of an Angel, fly away from here
From this dark, cold hotel room, and the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage of your silent reverie
You're in the arms of an Angel; may you find some comfort here

Eclipse: i... hff... don't want to die... hff...

Me: oh. You still live in this picture... but for how long?

Eclipse: *annoyed* as long... hff... as i want... I don't want... hff... to leave my... hff... friends...

Me: i know... *holds his hand and rubs it with my thumb*

Eclipse: I won't... hff... leave you... all...

Heart moniter: *slows down even more to a tiny bump in the line every five seconds*

Eclipse: ... not now... please... hff... not now...

Rosette: oh god... no... no...

Eclipse: ... i... hff... i can't do it...

Me: Eclipse?

Eclipse: i see the reaper... *finally closes his eyes, and just lays there*

Heart Moniter: *loses all bumps, and emits the long, always-dreaded "eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...." noise*

Rosette: *tears falls down her cheeks*

Mikenno: damn. illusion didnt work..... stupid hedgefox. *holds his claws up to mish's neck* one more step and she dies.
Me: *desperately shakes her head at critic, breathing heavily with fear, her claws slide out* *thinking* dont do it critic... its not worth it....

Scorch: *grins* i'll only pay if ya git ovah here!!! *hands are covered in flames, and he takes a fighting stance*

Twilight: i have to do something!! *tries to get up, but is still too weak to stand*
Lightning: whoa, there, twilly! you're not all healed up yet!

Me: um... who says I'm taking another step? *stands there for about five minutes* B[ ....... *drops the sword, pulls out a fancy gun, and shoots at Mikenno's head four times in a row, then chucks a potato at his face* POTATO!

Condemned: NRAAAARRRGH!!! *charges at Scorch, ready to strangly his scrawny little neck...*

Scorch: *fancily dodges condemned, literally kicking his butt as he passes* missed me, missed me! >:D
Fria: *rolls eyes* (that boy's gonna get himself killed......)

Mikenno: @#$%!!! *duck in time to miss the bullets, but is hit directly in the FACE by the potato* AAGH! WTF??? *grabs teh potato and crushes it in his claws* allright, thats IT! *turns back to mish and raises his claws, ready to stab her*

Aria: *Collides into Mikenno's back, her claws digging in. With a brisk flap she starts to rise into the air*

Me: *Runs forward and shoves Mish out of the way* Don't make me hurt you Mikenno…

Me: but.... potato.... *is sad* *chucks another potato at Mikenno*

Condemned: GRRAAARRR!! *turns around and slices his claws deep within Scorch's muscle, cutting the nerve system, and slicing some of the muscles in half in a bloody mess* gahahaha... got you...

Me: oy...

Me: *breathing heavily* thanks, fugue.....
Mikenno: grrrr... RARRG! *flips around and claws at aria, trying ti get her off* let me go you little brat!!!

Scorch: AAGH! *clutches his arm* jez.... ya really did get me....
Fria: (okay, intervention time.) *runs up to scorch and puts a hand on his arm, freezing the wound so it wouldnt bleed. then she jumps in between scorch and condemned* (okay you little a--hole, BRING IT ON!!)

Daemontwilight: okay, thats IT!! *reverts no normal form and joins scorch and fria against condemned* NO ONE hurts my big brother and gets away with it!!!!

Lightning: 8sigh* you cant keep that one still for long..... HOLY S---!!! *has to leap out of the way to avoid a shadow rising out of the ground* what the hell??

me: RYU. RYU'S BACK RAR!!!! *gets out a baseball bat*

Condemned: you think you all can defeat ME?? HAHAHAHA!!! I've been supressed much too long by that little b******, Eclipse... I'm ready for some more killing practice... *goes after Twilight, and sends his fangs deep within her shoulder, breaking it, then hops back, away from them, thinking of his next move*

Me: damnit!!! WE CAN'T HANDLE TWO DEAMONS!!

Twilight: AGGH!! grr....... *puts her hand over her shoulder* you forget, condemned..... *lifts her hand off, the wound is gone* i can heal too. RAAARGH!!! *darts at him, clawing at his face, constantly jumping back and forth, becoming an aqua-blue blur*

Ryu: heheheheheh........... *takes the outline of a dragon, looks sorta like a heartless, but a dragon, with big black torn-looking wings and giant claws. the mouth isnt defined, and her eyes are closed* prepare to meet your fate, mobians. i'll meet you all in hell!! *her eyes open, they are blood-red pupilless spheres*
Mikenno: *manages to shake aria off and flies down to ryu's side, grinning toothily*
Lightning: so you just made him your slave. thats really low, ya know??
Ryu: *innocently* i'm not doing anything. he is consciously doing this. look at his arm. the mark isnt glowing.

Me: ....its true. it's all him.......

Mikenno: *stares hungrily at mish* you know, i still wanna have a taste of hedgefox..........

Me: *holds the wrench out in front of her, scared for her life. her claws slide out again*

Me: w-what...? you mean... Mikenno WANTS to do this?

Condemned: *turns to Ryu and Mikenno* What?! Why would that weak demon do that? Has he finally found the truth?

Me: don't turn your back on your enemies, Condemned.

Condemned: ah. So true, Critic. Heheheh... here's something cute... *lets Eclipse come back, but Eclipse's eyes are still pure red, so he's limited to what he can do*

Eclipse: AGH!!! W-what's going on???? G-guys... i didn't know he would do this... i... GODDAMNIT IT FEELS LIKE MY HEAD IS ON FIRE!!! *clutches his head with both hands*

Ryu: somewhat. i let his true personality come through. his demonic side. the one that lusts for power.
Mikenno: *is still staring hungrily at mish*

Me: *cant help but stare into mikenno's eyes, and seeing that her friend isnt there, she trembles in fear, clutching the wrench tightly* ehh........

Twilight: eclipse!!! you're still in there!
Scorch: what the hell, man! ya gotta fight that thing! dont let condemned use you! you're stronger than him. fight him!

??: hey, leave some of that fighting for us!!

Lightning: ??? *turns around to the source of the voice, and gunshots come from the spot, heading towards mikenno and ryu*
Mikenno: *sidesteps the bullets, glancing back at mish*
Ryu: *leaps into the air, avoiding the bullets*

Fria: *grins* well it took ya long enough!!!
*Vera walks out of the shadows holding two smoking guns in her hands, and acid is standing next to her, a grin on his face and a chaos emerald in his hand.*
Vera: *blows the smoke away, then smiles* what did i miss?
Acid: yo, lightning! catch! *tosses a black box towards him* talon told me to give ya that.

Lightning: *looks at the box carefully, then grins* heheh. my thanks to talon.

Eclipse: i... can't fight him... what's wrong with Mikenno...? *losing conciousness*

Me: his demon personality........ kinda broke through.

Eclipse: oh god damnit... *winces*

Me: Mikenno... Mikki... come on... you're better then that...

Mikenno: *tears his sight away from mish and glares at critic* mikki's. not. here.

Twilight: we know you're there, mikki, you have to fight it!!!!

Ryu: he has no choice! as long as i remain in my true form, i will have total control over him!!!!

Lightning: then we'll just have to get ya out of your true form, then! *grasps the box tightly, and electricity crackles around it* thank god for talon's volt boxes.... *starts draining power out of the box, and his stripes start glowing*

Ryu: hahahaaa!!! your attept will be futile, mutt.

*the three wolfidnas growl*

Acid: *looks at mikenno, who is staring at mish again, then at mish, then back again* *whispers to critic* i know that look..........

me: what look is that?

Eclipse: *his red glowing eyes suddenly widen. He throws his head back, hands still clutching it, and screams out a wordless scream of fear and pain. When he's done, he turns into Condemned again*

Condemned: ok. I was fair. What did i miss?

Acid: the looks of a predator eyeing his prey...... she's his target, and he wont stop until he gets her......... i cant tell what he wants with her, though. did you hear him say anything before?

Vera: *aims a gun at condemned* oh nuthin' much. just the fact that we're here, murderer. *glares at him through narrowed eyes, never forgetting what he did*

Mikenno: *stares at mish*

Me: mikenno, stop that..... please.......

Mikenno: *grins, not looking away* why should i?

Me: please, mikki, just dont.......

Mikenno: *stares some more*

Lightning: *is still draining power out of the box, and his stripes glow brighter, brighter......*

Me: he... he said he wanted to taste her, or something...

Condemned: are you still bitter about that killing you thing? You can't blame me... it's my nature...

Me: GODDAMN IT CONDEMNED, STFU, I'M THINKING!!!

Condemned: *razzes me*

Acid: *cant help but laugh at condemned, then looks back at mikenno* well, all i can get from that is that he literally wants to eat her. might mean something else though, one can never be too sure.

Mikenno: *still staring at mish* i hear you.........

Me: *takes a step back*

Mikenno: *takes a step forward*

Me: *steps back again*

Mikenno: *step forward again*
Ryu: patience, mikenno, you'll get your chance......
Mikenno: *whimpers in disagreement, but steps back to join ryu, still staring at mish* grr...

Scorch: *to critic and acid* ya know... that kinda reminds me of that one book twilight.... ya know the one with the vampires and stuff. you know how vampires were always drawn to bella's scent? thought she was the nicest-smellin' thing ever? maybe mikenno feels the same way, sorta.....
Fria: (you know.... thats not such an outlandish conclusion..........)

Vera: *still holding the gun up* oh, yeah, like i'd go, "oh, its ok condemned, you just killed me. i dont mind." pfft. as if. murder is unforgivable, condemned, and you know it.

Condemned: oh. Eclipse would be in deep trouble then. He's murdered quite a bit. *uses a tentical to smack the gun out of Vera's hands*

Me: i leeerrrrv that book... OMIGOSH! Then Mikenno has a taste for artists! DAMNIT!!! MIKENNO!!!! I REALLY LIKE THE OTHER YOU BETTER!!! YOU REMIND ME TOO MUCH OF CONDEMNED RIGHT NOW!!!!!

Vera: *picks up the gun with her tail, but un-cocks it, and doesnt point it at condemned* he didnt kill in cold blood. not like you did.

Mikenno: *grins at critic* then i must be doing something right then. *licks his lips* i'll have you for dessert, maybe........ *grins*

Me: ohhhhhhhhh lord...... *is too scared to look away from mikenno, who has resumed staring at her*

Twilight: this is not good. *looks around* hey, anyone seen lightning?
Ryu: *laughs* HA! he probably abandoned you in f---- ARGH!!! *gets knocked over by a whizzing blue ball of electricity and does a total faceplant* WHAT IN THE NAME OF------???

Lightning: *gets out of his electrical spinball, stripes glowing a bright electric blue* HECK YEAH! OWNAGE!!! run away? pffft. as IF!

Twilight: *laughs, then says to herself* thats my lightning....
Acid: *smiling* is he always like that?
Twilight: *sighs* yes he is, acid, yes he is........

Condemned: yes he did. He definatally kicked that BADGER'S @$$...

Me: oy!! I'M NOT DESSERT!!! *throws ice cream at his face* THIS is dessert.

Condemned: hrrmm... I must hurry with my lust for blood... for in a bit, my host will have some issues with breathing... *rams himself into Vera*

Vera: AAGH! *flies back a bit. while in the air, she rolled her tail into a coil and bounced back up at condemned, slamming into him* what do you mean, you overgrown bug??

Mikenno: *ducks, completely avoiding the ice cream*
Ryu: *gets hit in the face by the ice cream* HEYY!!!! *glares at mikenno* grrrr.....
Mikenno: pfffft......... *is trying to hold back a laugh*

Twilight: well, he still has his personality XD

Me: *still not looking away from mikki* umm... critic? what does condemned mean by breathing issues??

Condmened: agh... i... i need to retreat this time... *turns back into Eclipse*

Eclipse: it's... it's hard to focus now... *suddenly has a coughing fit* ah! *cough* when did i... *cough* get this... *hack* SICK?

Me: ... that...

Me: ...crap.

Mikenno:*looks at eclipse when he coughs and blinks slowly*
Ryu: well, thats one problem down. *grins* do what you will with the hedgefox.
Mikenno: *his grin slowly gets wider, and he turns to mish* diiiinner..........

Me: O.O oh god..... *takes a step back* help......

Twilight: mikki, dont!!!

Me: MIKENNO!!!!!!!!! STOP!!!!!!!

Eclipse: Mikenno! Nnnn....n.. *weakly* no.... *falls down, blacked out*

Me: omigosh....

Mikenno: *looks over at eclipse on the floor and shakes his head* mortals and their strange ways..... now. where was i? ohhhhh yessss...... dinner. *slowly turns his face to mish, a wide grin spreading across his face*

Me: *eyes widen, and i hold my wrench up in defense* d-dont come any closer!!!!

Mikenno: *laughs once* sorry mish, but i havent had a decent meal in centuries..... *stares her down*

Me: !!!!!! *is totally freaking out, then calms down and stares back at mikenno* fine. if im gonna go down, im goin' down fighting.

Mikenno: a decent answer. *grins widely*

*both of them just stand there, staring at each other, waiting to see who would move first.......... then:*

Mikenno: *leaps into the air and dives down towards mish claws-first, like a hawk catching prey*

Me: *holds the wrench in front of her and leaps up to meet him. she comes off worst*

Mikenno: *barrels straight into mish, driving her to the ground. before she can even scream for help, he bites into her throat*

*everyone else, even ryu, watches in stunned silence*

me: i think I'm going to be sick...

Eclipse: @_@

Rosette: *iz teh BACK* oh... my... god...

Mikenno: *looks up at the others, his teeth and mouth covered in blood* what? never seen a demon eat?

Ryu: *grins* *to herself* thats my boy.......

Mikenno: *snorts and retunrs to mish, draining the blood out of her body like a vampire*
Twilight: *staring, stunned* he.... he didnt.........
Lightning: he did...............

Mikenno: *slurps, then gets up, licking his lips* ahhh.... that was good............ *returns to ryu's side, teeth still covered in blood*
Ryu: *puts a hand on his head as if he was an obedient dog* nice job mikenno. you have your rank back.
Mikenno: well, thanks, ryu, buti dont think i NEED THAT!!! *attacks her*
Ryu: what in the name of---??? *is knocked over by mikenno*

me: wait... what? Oh.. um.. MIIIIIISH!!!! *runs to her* oh my god. oh my god. OH MY GOD. Are you ok?????? SPEEAAAAK TOOOOO MEEEEEHHHHH!!!!!

Eclipse: @_@

Rosette: but... she's an artist...

((copied fugue's comment))

Aria: *Was knocked unconscious*

Fugue: *Has been staring around in confusion for a little bit, but goes into shock after Mikkenno bites Mish. The next words come out hurt… lost, like a young child's((Which she is, in demon terms))* Mikenno… why?

------

Mikenno: JUST SHUT UP AND HELP ME KILL HER!!!! *is trying to claw at ryu, but gets blasted off by a surge of black flames*
Ryu: FOOL!!! you had your post secured!!! why this sudden change of heart?

Twilight: *follows critic to mish and puts a hand on her shoulder, after a second or so, she lowers her head* ....... she's dead.

meh: WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?????????????????????????

Rosette: BUT ARTISTS CAN'T DIE!!!! NOT IN OUR REALM!!!! NOT PERMANANTLY!!!!!!

Eclipse: @_@

Mikenno: *gets knocked really hard against a wall* umm, guys?? HELP! *dodges a blast of flame from a really pissed ryu* TRUST ME!!!

Twilight: ........ *stands up* im helping mikki. *goes daemon*
Lightning: but how can you help him after what he did????
Twilight: .... i have a feeling he has a plan....... *dashes off to join mikenno against ryu*

Mikenno: heh. glad to see ya joinin' up.
Twilight: mikki, i have NO idea what you're doin, but whatever it is, it better be good!!!!

Lightning: .....................

Rosette: Lightning? Is everything all good with you?

Eclipse: @_@

Rosette: uh...

Eclipse: @_@

Rosette: what's wrong with him?

Me: RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!! *strikes Ryu with lightning*

Ryu: WTF??? *sizzles* grrr.... cursed artists and their artist powers....... *shoots a burst of flames at critic and the others*

Twilight: HELL no. *jumps in front of the blast and counters with a huge waterblast. it all explodes in a big cloud of steam.* aghhh!! i HATE steam! *backs out of teh steam cloud*
Mikenno: got it. *flaps his wings hard and blows the steam cloud towards ryu*
Ryu: *is in teh steam cloud* grrr.... you clever little fiends...

Lightning: im just.... confused..... if mikenno was planning to rebel, why did he.... *words get caught in his throat* kill mish?

???: kill? huh?

*everyone's heads turn at once*

Me: *seems perfectly fine, except for tiny pricks in her neck that are still bleeding* ...what? *grins* ya didnt think mikki REALLY killed me, now didja? ^^

Everyone else: O.O????

me: faking your death. Brilliant ^^

Eclipse: @_@

Rosette: um... I need to be caught up...

Me: mikki's a master illusionist! he can make it seem like you fall off the edge of the planet and make it seem so real, you believe it. until you dont die, then you're all like, wtf.

Twilight: estimated time of defeat, mikki?
Mikenno: if we can get lightning and a few others in here, not long. GUYS?

Lightning: ......... ok, now my head hurts.... *holds his head* owwww... im gonna need a tylenol... fine i'll go. *stripes glow a freakishly bright blue, and he runs over to join the fight*

Me: rosette? critic? wanna join the fight? im too freaked right now to fight...ehh.... i think im just gonna fall over any second now....

me: uhhh.... ok! *joins*

Rosette: *silently gets out her gun*

Eclipse: @_@

((All right… I have had no update alerts… my apologies…))

Aria: *Was knocked unconscious*

Me: *Has been staring around in confusion for a little bit, but goes into shock after Mikkenno bites Mish. The next words come out hurt… lost, like a young child's((Which she is, in demon terms))* Mikenno… why?

Me: yeah, seriously. we dont need you in the medical wing again....

DaemonTwilight: *double voice* well, mikenno? are you going to fight us or not?
Mikenno: .......... grrrr...... *leaps into the air and tried to dive at her back*
DaemonTwilight: *flips around at lightning-fast speeds and smacks him away with one paw*

Lightning: whoa. thats the same move she used on condemned in the base......

Mikenno: *falls to the floor with a thud* ow. nice shot.... *gets up*
Daemontwilight: *double voice* did you think that was nice? you have seen nothing yet...... *her colors waver again, and she becomes mostly ice-blue* heheheh.... *her front paws become covered in ice and the air around her is suddendly very cold*
Mikenno: *thinking* whats is she DOING?? *looks around, and makes eye-contact with fria*
Fria: *starestare* (what?)
Mikenno: *starestare, is conveying a message*
Fria: *stares, then nods* (i gotcha.)

Scorch: *whispers to critic and rosette* do you think i should attack ryu? both of us use fire... maybe i could distract her for a while......

Ryu: *thinking* that girl Twilight has more power than i thought......... she really IS a Daemon...... *grins* she might be useful........

Me: I wish not that you join in, Scorch. Tipping the scale even a little bit could end up with one of them killed.

Eclipse: No..... No we can't let this happen! *winces*

Scorch: w-whaddaya mean?

Daemontwilight: *rears up on her back legs and slams her front paws onto the ground. giant ice spikes shoot out of the ground towards mikenno*
Mikenno: @#$%!!!! *leaps into the air, dodging the ice spikes*
daemontwilight: grrr..... *colors change again, this time to mostly crimson red. smoke comes out of her mouth and her paws become covered in bright flames* *double voice* dodge THIS! *breathes a wide stream of flames towards mikenno*
Mikenno: AAGH!!! *lands and shields himself with his wings, which are then burned*
Daemontwilight: *colors return to normal and she stumbles a bit* agh... that was fuuun.......
Mikenno: are you kidding!!! you BURNED ME!!
DaemonTwilight: huh? *notces mikki's burned wings* AAAH!!! FIRA, YOU RETARD!!! *slaps herself across the face*

Ryu: *thinking* so she still doesnt have full control.......... hmmm........

Eclipse: *thinking* Ryu's too distracted to defend herself now.... this is my chance! *sneaks around the fight, and is now behind Ryu, ready to snap her neck if needed*

Me: *whispering to Mish* Oh. Eclipse is being an idiot again. Check it out, you can see him trying to sneak up on a DEMON.... heh.... he's gonna get hurt....

Ryu: *sighs, then, without turning around, she wraps her tail around eclipse's neck, lifting him a few feet off the ground* teenagers and their reckless antics...... *turns around to face him* trying to kill me, eclipse? i must tsay that was very..... unwise.

Mikenno: *ear twitch* *thinking* Ryu's hurting eclipse..... and i cant do anything about it!! WHOA! *ducks to avoid a paw swipe from twilly* JEEZ TWILIGHT, RIP MY FREAKING HEAD OFF!!!!
Daemontwilight: sorry mikki, but i have to!! *tries to swipe again, but misses*
Mikenno: *thinking* grrrr.... fira burned my wings... i cant fly! *looks at fria*

Fria: *nods, then goes to over to mish, fugue, critic and rosette are* (mikenno wants me to tell you why he's doing what he's doing. do you want to hear it?)

Me: well why wouldn't we?

Eclipse: *ack* i'm pretty used to... *choke* stupid antics... *gack* it's who i am. *manages a sly grin*

Rosette: i can't believe Eclipse would do that... AND HE'S NOT EVEN PANICKING!

Me: I'm pretty sure that on the inside, he is.

Fria: ......*blink* (ryu threatened him... with us. she said that if he didnt at least try to kill us, she would, and would make sure we suffered in hell......)

Me: O.O thats why.... he's rather kill us and let us spend the afterlife in a good place than have ryu kill us and have us suffer...........

Ryu: i see that. *puts a hand on his forehead* i know everything about you. everything. and i think i know an excellent place for you....... *puts her hand on his shoulder*

Me: OMFG STOP HER!!! SHE'S GONNA BRAND HIM!!!!

Me: *Pulls bomb out, walking forward* Please tell me she's not fireproof…

Aria: Tch. *Jumps into air and flys closer to Ryu* You do that… and your throat will be crying blood. *Gestures with a foot*

((pasted critic's comment so it wouldnt end up all the way down there XP))

Critic: OMIGAWD!!!!!
Rosette: *freaks out, and fumbles around for her gun*
Eclipse: SHE'S GONNA - ACK! - SHE'S GONNA WHAT????

Me: *takes out the wrench* she's gonna do the same thing she did to mikki!! *runs towards ryu, wrench in hand*

Ryu: mikki?

Mikenno: RRRHGH!!! *leaps in front of mish, blocking her path and causing her to fall backwards*
Me: EEP! *holds wrench in front of her as a shled and tries to scramble back*
Mikenno: *raises a hand as if to slash her*
DaemonTwilight: RAAAAAARGH!!!! *crashes head-first into mikenno, knocking him sideways*

Ryu: hmph. *faces eclipse again, and puts a single claw on his shoulder* this will only hurt a little bit. *stabs her claw into his arm and starts scratching in the same symbol on mikenno's shoulder*

Me: STOP HER!!!

Eclipse: aarrrgh!! Stop!! *struggles to get away*

Me: so THIS is how she did it...

Rosette: LEAVE HIM ALONE!!! *quickly whips out her gun and shoots at Ryu*

Aria: *Flys very fast at Ryu, her feet colliding with the demon's torso in an attempt to break her grip on Eclispe*

Me: Stay your hand!! *Runs forward, tails streaming out behind her*

Ryu: *stops scratching the marking and swats away rosette's bullet when it comes, then grabs aria's foot and throws her back* fools. you cannot defeat me! *still holding eclipse tightly with her tail, she creates a wall of black fire blocking everyone's path* that should keep ya back.
DaemonTwilight: grrrrr..... *fur turns red* not for long...... rrrrrrrrrrrrrrAGH!! *charges right through the wall of fire, dissipating it, then charges straight at ryu* LET HIM GO!!!
Mikenno: AGH!! *gets in front of twilight and grabs her snout* stay. *he flips her over onto her back*
DaemonTwilight: *yelps loudly*

Ryu: heheheheh........

Me: STOP HER!! *throws her wrench at ryu*

me: you @$$ demon!!! *is going to strike Ryu with a bolt of lightning*

Rosette: stop! It'll hit Eclipse too!

Me: awww...

Eclipse: *turns into Condemned form* LET ME GO, YOU (other f word)

Me: you don't even say that on television..... :O

Sonic: MY EEEEEAAAAARRRSS!!!! *holds them down*

Ryu: *deflects the wrench* heh. three words for all of you. PA. THE. TIC. surely you can do better than this? *turns back to eclipse* come now, clipsy, wont you calm down? *puts her hand back on his shoulder* how 'bout i finish this okay? ^^ *continues to scratch the mark onto his arm*

Mikenno: *glances back and sees what ryu's doing* *thinking* damn, i feel horrible right now...... grrrr.... i gotta do something---WHOA!! *has to jump up from a tail-swipe from twilight*
Daemontwilight: RAAAA!!! *stands up*

Me: *seriously freaking out* WE GOTTA FREAKIN' DO SOMETHING!!!!

Me: *Runs up, bomb in her hand. The bomb is lit, about to go off. I shove it at Ryu, and chomp down on her arm to make her release Eclispe*

Aria: *Grunts, and is sent flying back. She recovers quickly, and returns to grab Eclispe to pull him away*

Ryu: *grins widely, then suddendly grabs fugue and aria, not letting them go* trying to get in close was a big mistake. *sly grin*

Me: O.O F***!!! I KNOW WHAT SHE's DOING!!! GET OUTTA THERE!!!

Ryu: *suddendly melts into the ground, leaving aria fugue and eclipse a few inches away from the armed bomb*

DaemonTwilight: NO!!! *bashes into the three of them to knock them away, but is then caught in the full force of the bomb* ARGHHH!!

Lightning: TWILIGHT!!!!!!!!!!

Everyone: OMFGTWILLY!!!!!!!

Eclipse: *runs back to Twilight* are you ok???

Me: of COURSE she's ok... that bomb did NOTHING....

Eclipse: this is no time for sarcasm. *growls at Twilly* WHY DID YOU DO THAT???

Daemontwilight: *has serious burns on her side, front paws and face* aghh...... i had to, eclipse. i couldnt let that b**** hurt you....... agh....
Lightning: *is already at twilight's side* shhh..... dont overexert yourself twilly........

Ryu: *reappears a little ways off* awww, how sweet. *grins* how i LOVE chaos.

Me: grrrr.... i hate you, ryu. you're the only one i hate.

Mikenno: *would be beating himself against a wall if it wasnt for ryu's hold on him* grrrr......

Eclipse: *to Ryu, in a quiet, scary voice* you b*****...

Me: you got him angry.

Eclipse: you will PAY for your evil...

Me: you shouldn't have done that.

Eclipse: *suddenly uses Condemned claws to pierce his skull, and rip out something small, square, and drenched in blood. He cries out in pain at first, and blood gushes from his head, but suddenly, his groans and whimpers siece, and his eyes slowly turn red*

Me: he's LETTING Condemned take full control.... he's doing the one thing he promised Sonic he would never again do... letting his anger control him... and he's willing to endure major brain damage in order to do so... that idiot.

Me: *Pissed* Twilight, do you realize that as a Kitsune, I have a certain amount of FIRE-PROOFNESS!!!

Aria: Is that even a word?? *Moving towards Ryu*

Me: *Snaps* Whatever. The point is, I would have been fine. Aria would have been fine, we've had worse things go off in our faces. Why'd you have to let your stupid hero complex take over… gah! *turns to Eclipse* Don't you dare do that… We have enough people with damaging Hero Complexes here!

Aria: *Under her breathe* Including you… *Is close to Ryu now*

Twilight: agh..... hey,here i thought having a fire demon would help me too....... heheh. guess not.....

Mikenno: *horrified* eclipse, NO!
Ryu: *grin* finally......... *is surrounded by black flames* a worthy opponent. prepare to face my true power. RAAAH!!! *the flames rise up in an inmense column, and ryu's outline becomes distorted*
Mikenno: GET OUT OF HERE NOW!!! GO! NOW----- ARGGGHHH!! *falls to the ground clutching his shoulder* aggh.... LEAVE! or we will all die!!!

Eclipse: *eyes still red* w-wha - AUGH!!! *falls to his knees clutching his head, and shaking*

Me: he's out of practice. We're doomed.

Rosette: everything's going wrong...

Eclipse: *tenticals wrap around his body, and turn him into Condemned* no... NO!!!..... n...

Condemned: freedom.... YES!!! *looks at Ryu* bah. Tis another demon... this will be fun... *stretches his claws out bit*

Me: aaaaaand he's gone.

Me: *To Mikenno* Don't Push yourself… *Sighs* We can't win this battle by force alone… we need to think this out…

Aria: *Has hidden herself*

Mikenno: get out.... before you get hurt......
Lightning: *angrily* im not scared of that demon!
Mikenno: im not...talking... about her......

Me: O.O f***.

Ryu: *insane monstrous roar* RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!!! *the flaming column suddendly fizzles out, and ryu is gone*

Scorch: where the hell--- WHOA!! *jumps back as a black shadow seems to leap out of the ground under him* WHAT THE HELL???
Mikenno: *suddendly writhes in pain, the red flame mark burning intensly* RUN!!!!!
Me: and so it starts.... the beginning of the end..... for one side or the other.......

Condemned: HAHAHAHAHAH!!! YOU WILL ALL SUFFER FROM MY WRATH!!! *goes after Scorch first*

me: WHERE'S RYU?????

Rosette: *paradox is gone*

Scorch: gimme all ya got!!! *is ready to face condemned*

Fria: *is frantically searching the ground for ryu* (SHES IN THE GROUND!!!)
everyone else: *is watching the ground carefully*

Me: mikki?? *runs over to mikki and tries to comfort him* stay with us, mikki, dont let her take ya over like that.... come on mikki, stay with me!
Mikenno: *is writhing in pain, the suddendly stops and stares up at mish. his eyes are bloodshot* i told you to run. *suddendly jumps up at mish*
Me: S***!!! *cant dodge fast enough and is pinned down by mikenno*

*an evil laugh is heard emanating from the ground*

Me: *Stated Calmly* Only cowards hide, Ryu. Leave my friend alone…

Aria: *Is hiding waiting for her chance*

Ryu: *voice from the ground* why should i? he's mine. i do whatever i want with him.

Mikenno: *gives mish a fanged grin*
Me: oh lord...... mikenno... dont do this....
Mikenno: why not? always wanted to know what hedgefox tastes like......
me: O.O fugue...... help.......

Me: it's true... everything is going wrong... EVERYTHING... *gets out a sword* sorry Mikki... *charges at Mikenno*

Condemned: *preforms a downward slash at Scorch, then hammer-fists him to the ground, and steps on him, pressing down on his chest, grinning maliciously*

Me: no! dont hurt him!!!
Mikenno: *still pinning mish down, he looks up at critic* watch out for that trench there. *a big trench suddendly appears out of nowhere in front of critic, and mikenno grins*
Me: walk through it, critic. you wont fall. just walk----
Mikenno: *puts a hand over mish's mouth, silencing her* shut it.

Scorch: *gets the wind knocked out of him* RAAGH!! grrrrr.... *puts both hands on condemned's leg and sets them on fire, burning his leg*

Twilight: what the hell is going on lightning?? *is almost fully healed by the daemons*
Lightning: umm... you dont wanna know.......

me: i didn't say i would hurt him... *walks through the "trench"

Condemned: *snarls in pain, and bats out the flames. He looks up and bares his teeth at Scorch* you will pay for that...

Me: OMIGAWD!!!!!

Rosette: *freaks out, and fumbles around for her gun*

Eclipse: SHE'S GONNA - ACK! - SHE'S GONNA WHAT????

Me: m'kay. so she essentially made him her slave. the mark she put on him burned whenever he would disobey, and apparently the pain is so much he had no choice but to obey.

Fang: so he was pretty much her servant?

Me: correct. he did all the dirty work. but after a long while, he got tired of it. he left. he told me that the pain was so extreme it was almost unbearable. but he made it out of hell into our world, thus attaining the status of "fiend" or escaped demon.

Meanwhile:

Mikenno: *eyes narrow* what are you thinking.......?
Ryu: heheheheheh.......... your friends are coming. i want you to fight them. as if they were your enemies.
Mikenno: no. i wont. i refuse to---AGH!!! *falls to his knees again, holding his shoulder*

Me: that's not nice.

Eclipse: so it's like a sex offender? You're marked with that title forever?

Me: uh.... maybe....?

Eclipse: we need to help him.

Me: well, technically, if he was taken back to hell he would be known as a demon again. we know him as a demon, but demons would know him as a fiend. so apparently ryu wants him back..............

Twilight: we cant let this Ryu take our friend away just like that!!

Me: thats why we're flying over there. to get mikki back.

MEANWHILE!!!

Mikenno: augh!!! *the red flame on his shoulder burns for a bit, then fades* uuurgh......... *glares up at ryu* have i ever told you how much i hate you?
Ryu: yeah, about three times today. *grins* so.... *puts her still-hooded face right in front of his* you'll do that for me will you?

me: i think we should hurry.

Eclipse: yes. We must help him before it's too late... i wonder what will happen to our friend, Mikenno...

Me: we'll only know when we get there.

Me: yeah..... wonder where fira and scorch are at.....? *something blips on the radar* whoa, there. it seems like we're here......... *dips the nose of the jet and lands the plane a bit away from where ryu and mikki are*

MEANWHILE!!!!

Ryu: *laughs* looks like we have some company come out here hybrids!
Mikenno: *ear twitches, then he shakes his head* you two are idiots......
*fria and Scorch emerge frm their hiding place*
Scorch: we heard everything ryu. let mikenno go! you're outnumbered!!
Fria: *crosses her arms and nods* (the rest of HN is coming. you have no chance.)
Ryu: *grins* thats where you're wrong, Fria.
Fria: *ear twitches at the sound of her name and she narrows her eyes* (how do you know my name, demon?)
Ryu: i know everything about you, fria. i know your ability is ice, and your weakness is fire. I also know scorch can control fire and is weak against ice.
Scorch: whoa there. how do you......?

Me: Mikenno!!! *runs into the clearing, wrench in hand* dont worry buddy we came for ya!
*everyone else follows*

Me: LEAVE HIM ALONE, RYU!!!

((Eclipse is still wearing his trenchcoat))

Eclipse: you're outnumbered. If you walk away now, we won't kill you... *dark aura emits from his body*

Rosette: I don't think she's going to leave, Eclipse...

Ryu: oh i might leave, if i can take dear Mikki with me. *she grins, her teeth gleaming from under her hood*
Mikenno: *quietly* let me go, guys. i dont want you get hurt.....
Ryu: awwww, isnt that cute. tring to portect your friends, eh Mikki?
Lightning: we're not leaving you Mikenno. not in a million years! *charges up power so that his stripes glow*
Ryu: you must be lightning. leader of Hybrid Nation. i must say, i expected you to be a wee bit, older......
Lightning: heh. ryu, huh? thought you'd be taller. oh well.

Me: pwn.

Me: totally. XD

Eclipse: Ryu, I'm going to kick your scrawny demon @$$. Free Mikenno, or things will get... *goes Condemned form* ugly...

Ryu: ah, so you are eclipse. i've been DYING to meet you....... *flings the cloak off* things will get very ugly indeed....... *grin*
Mikenno: dont do it, eclipse!!! AGH!! *clutches his shoulder*
Ryu: stay, mikki. no need to get involved.....

Me: he's already involved!!! let him go!

Eclipse/Condemned: you let him go, Ryu!! I'm not afraid to use Condemned! *flexes his claws*

Rosette: oh god... this is going to end up with someone getting hurt...

Me: The chip in Eclipse's head is still there.... if he gets angry enough, there's no stopping him from killing Ryu - if that's possible...

Eclipse/Condemned: NRRAAAARRRGH!!!!

Ryu: heheh... you'd make a good slave. i'll enjoy fighting you, condemned. *extends her wings fully and flashes her claws*

Me: and so it begins....the battle for mikkeno's freedom.......

Me: tis a demon versus a demon. O_O

Condemned: *shoves his hand into the dirt, and has tenticals burst from the ground all around Ryu. They wrap around her, and squeeze, choking the life out of her*

Me: wait, can Ryu even die?

Rosette: uh oh. What if she CAN'T??

Ryu: NOPE!!! *black flames burst out from her, singing condemned's tentacles* you think i'd be taken down by a fewtentacles? PAH! *flies up and laughs, then charges up a big black fireball in her mouth*

Condemned: *howls in pain, for the tenticals ARE still attached to him. He takes his hand out of the ground, and grows wings out of his back. He flies at Ryu, and barrels into her before she can fully charge her fireball*

Me: little known to people who look at Condemned at first glance, his wings are actually razor sharp. If he flies past you, and hits you with his wings, you WILL get sliced.

Rosette: what does THAT have to do with anything???

Me: um.... it's sport commentary?

Rosette: THIS ISN'T A GAME!!!

Sonic and Shadow: *look at each other*

Me: *notices sonic and shaodw* WHOA!! where the freak did YOU come from!!!????

Ryu: *releases the unfinished fireball towards the ground, causing some of the others to have to leap back a bit* grr... annoying demekarr. *eyes glow red, and her claws grow three times their original size. she speeds towards condemned and slashes one of his wings*
Mikenno: *stands and runs over to the others* she's too busy to watch me. do we have a plan?
Twilight: umm.. we were hoping you knew what to do, mikki...
Mikenno: *sad head hang* she block my vision. im powerless around her.

both Shadow and Sonic: eep! *poof gone*

Condemned: RAAAAARRRGH!!! *wing gets slices off. It's broken contents fall to the ground. Eclipse struggles to keep in the air, but falls. His wing cannot regenerate in time* I HATE FLYIIIIIING - *crash. He lands on his own razor sharp wing, and is impaled through the chest, arms, and legs* damn it.

Rosette: OMIGOSH!!!!!!!!! *runs over to him* are you alright????

Condemned: *grunts a bit when he tries to move* ow. Yeah, i guess. It's just a little cut. I'll get her...

Black Knight: it's only a flesh wound!

Rosette: JUST A CUT???? ARE YOU KIDDING ME???!!!!!!

Condemned: hey. I'll get better. i ALWAYS get better. *gets up, now dripping in his blood* ok, you cheap demon SCUM... LET'S SEE WHAT YOU GOT ON THE GROUND! *his wing folds back up and turns into his spike again. The other spike tarts to regenerate*

Ryu: have it your way. *lands and folds her wings in tightly* bring it on, Clipsy. *flashes her elongated claws*

Me: this will NOT end well............
Mikenno: *is feeling completely useless and HATES it*

Me: Mikky.... if you want to fight, then FIGHT....

Condemned: *slashes at Ryu, then preforms an uppercut to her face*

Rosette: i hate it when he fights... i really really hate it....

Ryu: GAH! *flies back a bit, but flips around and lands on her feet* not, bad, not bad!
Mikenno: i cant!
Lightning: why cant you fight her??
Mikenno: you'll see....... *turns to his demon form and jumps into the air, then immediately dives down towards ryu, claws first*
Ryu: no ya dont. *holds one hand out towards him, and the red flame burns on his shoulder. one of his wings suddendly folds in, and he falls to the ground with a heavy thump*
Mikenno: agh...... thats why........

Ryu: i told you not to get involved, dear mikki. *turns back to eclipse, her hands become covered in black flames* let's see how you deal with this one.... *puts her hands together and then brings them apart, creating what looks like a small wyvern out of the flame. she launches it up in the air, her hands still covered in flames, and the dragon-flame grows, until it is twice eclipse's size* heheheh... dodge THIS, big guy. *aims both her hands towards eclipse, the dragon flame immediatelly dives down to where he is, jaws agape and wings open fully*

Me: it's going a little slowly. Enough for Eclipse to dodge it, but if he does, the people BEHIND him will get hit. This includes Rosette, Twilight, Lightning, and us artists. If he DOES take the hit, however, he will be too weak to continue fighting, and be vurnerable to further attack. What will he do?

Condemned: I've let them suffer enough... *takes the hit, then falls onto his hands and knees, panting like a dog, and wincing. He is now terribly burnt and weak. Other elements wouldn't be a problem, but Condemned can't take fire, and sonics, plus he was already hurt from impalement*

Ryu: *brings her firecovered hands up and the flame-dragon flies up behind her* aww... so the demekarr wants to be the hero, eh? fine. i will end this now. *lets her hands fall to her sides, and the flame-dragon disappears, as does the dragon-flame* lets see....... a quick death? or a painful one? *ponders this* hmmm........
Mikenno: *slowly gets up* ryu... dont........
Ryu: *turns her head to mikenno* oh? does dear mikki have something to add?
Mikenno: dont kill him... please.
Ryu: *thinks about it* well......... ok. just because you asked nicely. ^^
Mikenno: *breathes a sigh of relief*
Ryu: i'll let you kill him.
*everyone turns to ryu wide-eyed*
Mikenno: ARE YOU INSANE!? I WONT KILL HIM!!! hurt me all you want, but i wont touch him!!!
Ryu: oh, i'm not giving you any options, mikenno. *stares right into his eyes, as if conveying a mental message*
Mikenno: *the mark on his shoulder glows brightly, but doesnt seem to hurt him. instead, his eyes widen, and he stares at ryu in disbelief. then, he hangs his head, closes his eyes, and turns to the others. a tear rolls down his face* i'm sorry, guys...... i hope you'll forgive me. *turns to his full demon form and looks around the group, then, leaps towards eclipse, claws-first*

Me: NO!!!

Mikenno: *is about to sink his claws into eclipse when something barrels into his side, knocking him away* rrrg.... *he snarls at eclipse's defender*
DaemonTwilight: i hope you'll forgive me mikki..... RAAAR!!! *pounces towards mikenno, claws unsheathed*

Condemned: Twi.....light...? D-don't... kill.... him.... *falls down with a thud, but is still barely concious*

Rosette: Twilly!!! Be careful!

Me: I can't believe he seriously did that... and then Mikenno... and Twilight.... wooooooaaaaaaah....

Rosette: *can't help but weakly giggle* don't break, Critic...

Me: i think we should leave this to twilly, 'k critic?

Lightning: grrr.... i just cant stand here and do NOTHING!!
Scorch: you have to!! look at what happened to eclipse! how do you think twilight would feel if you ended up like that??
Lightning: ...........
Fria: *puts a hand on his shoulder* (twilight will be fine. you have to trust us.)
Lightning: ....okay. i trust you.

Mikenno: *ducks under twilight's attack, and stands up* i dont want you Twilight!!!
Daemontwilight: well, you're not taking eclipse, so DEAL WITH IT!! *slashes at him*
Mikenno: *barely dodges it, then counters with a slash of his own, which hits*
Daemontwilight: *now has a large slash mark across her face* ARRGH!!! *backs away, a paw over her face, eyes closed* grrrrrr.....
Mikenno: *looks ashamed of himself, then composes himself* i told you. i dont want you.
Daemontwilight: *puts her blood-covered paw back on the ground* sorry to disappoint you, mikki. *crouches down and if she was gonna pounce, then suddendly puts her head back and* AWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Mikenno: ??? *takes a few steps back, wary of her next move* *thinking* damn!! i cant read her!!

Me: aaaaaaah!!! What's going on!?

Rosette: Mikki can't read Twilly! She's blocking out her thoughts with a louder noise!

Eclipse: *pants a little, and tries to get up, but falls back down halfway* *still panting* damn.... it....

((Honestly guys… leave me behind why don't you… T_T))

Me: *Glaring at Ryu. She is standing apart from the others, and away from the fight* Leave him alone!! Mikenno belongs to himself, not a half-wit like you!!

Aria: Don't egg her on… *Whispers* She's out of your league… you're only a six-tail. Maybe in a few years you could take her, when you reach nine, but…

Me: *Shrugs it off* I don't care. *eyes narrow* I won't let her treat Mikenno like this…

((sorry, fugue ^^;;;;))

me: *puts a hand on fugue's shoulder* hold it. we gotta let twilly do her thing.

DaemonTwilight: *still howling, her- aqua-blue color becomes distorted, and it seems to grow darker in some places and lighter in others. Parts of her fur is turning crimson red, the other, light blue. she stops howling, and she opens her eyes. both have turned completely black, except for the irises: one has turned red, the other, almost white. there are no pupils* *grins, than speaks in an eerie double voice* Do you still want eclipse rather than us, mikenno?

ME: *In a disgruntled manner* I don't want to wait… Mikenno's my friend… and I don't want him hurt… I hate that b*&^%. *Glares at Ryu*

Aria: Listen to Mish, honest to God, please don't do anything rash, Please Fugue.

Me: *Scowl deepens* Hurry up Twilight. I'll only wait for so long…

Rosette: No! This is what Ryu wants! Don't you get it???

Me: methinks they are too much into the battle to listen now.... I still wonder how Eclipse could have gone down so fast... i also wonder why he's not regenerating as fast, either... maybe Ryu seems to have some sort of affect on ALL demons.... it's odd....

Eclipse: stop... stop fighting......... please just stop.... *manages to get up, but struggles a LOT in the process. When he's on his feet again, his legs wobble, and his knees are bent*

Me: *still watching the fight* don't over-exert yourself, Eclipse.
