Really Really Cute

geckodon: *stichs an IV in his had that knocks him out, so they can get to work.* we'll do our best, sir.
Mikenno: ...i'll leave you to it, then... *walks out of the room, and closes the door behind him*

Me: iiiiiiii'm not gonna get into all the gruesome details of teh operation, m'kay? ^^; just ate lunch XD

Skye: *feels the weight come off her, and opens her eyes again, and sits up. at hearing vorace's remark, she scoots over towards him and looks at him straight in the eyes* vorace......... you know it wasn't you.

Vorace: does not matter... I still did it... *begins to sob, and drool leaks from his mouth*

meanwhile

Eclipse: *knocked out*

Me: oh ok XD

Skye: *facepalm* oh don't you start acting like eclipse now, please spare us ALL from that... one Mr. Grumpy McEmoness, is ENOUGH..... come on vorace, you SAID you couldn't ignore condemned's commands. it's like how demonio can't ignore ryu. he has to do EVERYTHING she tells him, no matter what it is... *shudders* if condemned made you do it, then i don't blame you.

Vorace: *glomps/hugs Skye tightly, whilst still in sobbing mode* father wanted me to kill Eclipse so that he can be released and merge with ME... he wants us to become one super-powerful demekarr...

meanwhile

Eclipse: *in the middle of the surgery, his heart starts failing* HNNNGH!

Skye: *hugs him tightly* i promise you, i'll never let that happen...... ever......

Me: would a defibrillator hurt eclipse too bad?

Heart-rate machine: *starts spazzing out*
Geckodon: *!!!!* get the defibrillator!

Me: i dunno I forgot what that was... not good with medical terms ^^;

Vorace: thanks you... *closes his eyes and smiles in gratitude*

meanwhile

Doctors: *get the defibrillator*

Eclipse: *breathing is labored, and he's in pain*

(wait, you mean the electrical pads?)

Me: YES.

SKye: *kisses him on the cheek, and smiles at him* you're welcome. <:)

Me: oooooooohhh

Vorace: *eyes snap wide open, and his face is now flushed from the kiss*

meanwhile

Doctor: *rubs them together until they make a high pitched noise* CLEAR! *presses them down on the hedgebat*

Eclipse: *nothing*

Doctor: MOTHERF***ER!! *rubs them again*

Mikenno: ....... *eclipse's immediate future is hazy... he is not sure of the outcome.......* goddammit, eclipse, don't do this..........

meanwhile

Skye: *laughs quietly and blushes, not as much at vorace though* heehee...... you're so twitchyyyyyyy XDDDDDD

Vorace: *since you can't control when you stop blushing, Vorace has no choice but to wait for it to cool down* Am I?

meanwhile

Doctor: *rubs them again* CLEAR!! *presses them down on Eclipse*

Eclipse: *inhales deeply, and his breathing and heart rate slowly return to normal*

Doctor: :D

Geckodon: *breathes a sigh of relief* phew.... good work..... *continues surgery-ing

Mikenno: *realizes he had been holding his breath, and breathes in* oh god...... that had been much too close.....

meanwhile

Skye: well, whenever i get near you you get all nervous...... *gets close enough so that their noses touch, and she blushes redder*

Eclipse: *continues being unconcious*

meanwhile

Vorace: O-oh... I... never noticed...

Doctors: *continue working*

Mikenno: *sits down, reassured of eclipse's future. he will live*

meanwhile

Skye: *giggles, and swiftly kisses him, then draws back a few inches* ^////////^

Vorace: *dazed and happy* heee...

meanwhile

Eclipse: *...*

Skye: *can't help but laugh loudly* hahaha! you like that, huh? X///D

Me: ♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫
life is a road and i want to keep going
love is a river i wanna keep flowing
life is a road now and forever
wonderful journey~
i'll be there when the world stops turning,
i'll be there when the storm is through,

♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫

Vorace: ... ... huh? Wha?

meanwhile

Doctors: *stilla workin'*

Eclipse: *suddenly twitches violently, because there's now tenticles coming ouyt of him and stabbing him* aaAAAUUURGH!! *Condemned wants him to DIEEEEE*

Doctors: *freak out* AAAAH! WTF?!

Mikenno: !!!! *BAM slams the door open and runs to the table, putting both hands on eclipse's head, mentally attacking condemned* STAY... IN!!!!

(and I'm listening to Shrouded Forest XD)

Eclipse: AUUURRRAGH!! *spazzing out - a screeching is behind his voice. Blood is now spilling out of his mouth*

Mikenno: *strengthens his attack against condemned* YOU WON'T TAKE HIM TOO!!!! RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!

meanwhile

Me: lol forgot XD

Skye: heehee ^^ *stands up and pulls him into a standing position* feelin' any better? ^^

Vorace: *smiling warmly* yes. Yes I am. Thank you, Skye.

meanwhile

Eclipse: *is twitching irraticaly, when finally, he fully slumps over, and stops. The tenicles go back into his body, which means, for now, Mikenno has stopped Condemned*

Mikenno: *is breathing heavily from the effort, and doesnt move*
Geckodon: ....would you like to stay there? ^^;
Mikenno: *nods*

meanwhile

Skye: *bows* at your service, good sir. ^^

Vorace: *playfully smacks Skye* oh, you stop that... >:D

meanwhile

Eclipse: *...*

Me: time jump...?

Me: yes please. ^^ go right ahead XD my GOD this whole voraceXskye thing is TOO CUTE!!! it makes me hurt. and that's a good thing for the rp XDDDDDDDD .....ow.

*time juuuuuuuump*

*it has been a few hours. Eclipse's surgery has been completed, and if you took off his bandages, it would like like he was being attacked by stitches. He is now asleep in his bed in the medical ward*

Eclipse: *he looks so helpless like that SQUEEEEE :P*

Vorace: *has come to visit his half-father* ...

Ghost: I'm in no mood mood for jokes, hybrid... let's end this quickly... *gets out his katana*

Vorace: *watches*

Me: MY BAD!!! DX

SKye: ooh, look, a shiny toothpick! >:) *in a very dark voice that is very NOT skye-like* i'll be needing one. *WAAH! is right behind him, and she kicks him. HARD. VERY HARD*

Ghost: *you can hear the crackle, and collapse of Ghost's spine. He howls in pain, and swipes his katana behind him, before falling down to the ground in the pain, and lack of back support*

Vorace: DDDD8 (lol, Luminos)

Skye: *barely jumps back in time, and only gets a shallow scratch across her stomach* heh. *leans down to talk into his ear* don't say i didn't warn you..... *stands back up and looks towards eclipse* still think vorace is an animal, eclipse?!

Eclipse: *glares at Skye*

Vorace: *even though she was only scratched* Are you alright???

Skye: *her claws retract, and she steps away from the broken raven* ...i'm fine, vorace....... just a scratch. *touches the cut of her snout, and looks at the blood on it* .........

Vorace: are you sure...?

Eclipse: if she's fine, she's fine, Mr.I-can't-use-contractions

Vorace: DO NOT MAKE FUN OF HOW I SPEAK!

Eclipse: oh but IT'S just so easy to!

Vorace: *snarls at Eclipse

Skye: *is almopst back to normal, her eyes are still messed up* MY GOD YOU TWO, CALM DOWN! can you NOT be at each other's throats all the time?? sheesh!!! you'd think you guys would get ALONG! *shakes her head*

Eclipse: Vorace isn't my son... my son is dead... I don't have a son... I don't have a wife, either... when Rosette was killed in the war, that really tore me up...I want people to stop thinking I'm automatically going to like this demon that claiims to be different from GENERATIONS of uncontrollable instinct!

Vorace: D:>

Skye: *still hadn't fully reverted when he said this, and suddenly returns to her daemonic form, and jumps on eclipse faster than you can say "huh?!" pinning him to the ground* DON'T YOU DARE SAY THAT!

Eclipse: I WILL SAY THAT BECAUSE IT'S TRUE!! I WON'T LET YOU DEFEND HIM ANYMORE! I DON'T CARE THAT YOU'RE LIGHTNING AND TWILIGHT'S SON, I WON'T STAND FOR THIS!! *eyes glow red, and he goes Condemned*

Vorace: STOP!!

C. Eclipse: *throws Skye off*

Me: i think he means "daughter" ^^;

Skye: *lands on her back, but flips back up* you're killing your own point eclipse! you're making yourself seem like as much of an animal you say he is. did i ever say how much i hate hypocrites? *bares her teeth, ready for a fight* don't try to stop us, vorace. you'll only get yourself in MONDO trouble.

Me: WHOOPS! My bad ^^;;

C. Eclipse: I'm not a hypocrite!! I'm just getting sick and tired of this crap HE pulls, and YOU defend!!

Vorace: I cannot sit here and simply watch D:

Skye: well you're gonna have to, vorace. don't wantcha getting hurt, you know. *to eclipse* i dont see him doing anything wrong, eclipse. only thing i see you disagreeing with is his mere existence. if he were some kind of animal, i'd be DEAD right now. a bloody mess on the roof.

Eclipse: FOOL! That's what he WANTS you to think!! He's gaining you're trust so that he can kill all of us one by one! HE'S SMARTER THAN CONDEMNED!!! HE HAS NO HEART!!

Vorace: *looks hurt*

Skye: *with total sincerity in her eyes, that are more like the nice Skye we all love* .....if he was meaning to do that...... he would have killed me already. if he was gaining my trust so he could kill me, then fine. *looks towards Vorace* he could kill me right now, and I'd let him. So go ahead, Vorace. Do it. Show Eclipse your "evil plan."

Vorace: wh... what??

Eclipse: too much of a goody two-shoes right? Thought so...

Vorace: ... well... actually, father sent a command into my head... a command that i cannot ignore... over the course of my time with you... this command has driven me to the brink of insanity... it is now that i must comply...

Eclipse: I KNEW IT!

Vorace: forgive me, Eclipse...

Eclipse: wait - what?

Vorace: *IMPALES ECLIPSE*

Eclipse: GUAK?!

Skye: ECLIPSE! *rams into vorace, making sure she doesn't un-impale eclipse so blood doesn't start flying everywhere. she pins vorace's arm to the ground, so he can't move it, using the daemon's strength to hold him down* *almost shrieking* MIKKI!!! HELP!!!

Mikenno: *had been nearby. he had been feeling a need to watch the three of them, for he knew ONE of them was in danger. his suspicions are proved right, and he runs to the library*

Vorace: *snarls and bites at Skye* Raawwrgh!!

Eclipse: *down for the count, on the floor, eyes wide* K - k - k...

Me: omg

Skye: *cringes, almost getting bitten. he eyes are brimming with tears* vorace, please!! don't prove eclipse right!! don't!!! PLEASE!!

Mikenno: *runs into the library at full speed and screeches to a halt next to them. he has a decision to make. if he tries to take eclipse he might bleed out before he gets to the closest med room AND gets him medical attention. if he tries to take vorace with him, he could wound eclipse further, and leave no chance of survival for him* ........

Vorace: RRAAWWGH!! *lashes at Skye again, this time clamping down on her arm*

Eclipse: *now wheezing. he can't think straight, and his vision has blurred*

Skye: *snarls from the bite, but doesn't attack him back*
Mikenno: skye, get vorace's claw out of eclipse.
Skye: what?!
Mikenno: DO IT NOW!
Skye: grrrrah! *rolls over, yanking his arm out of eclipse, but ending up with vorace on top of her*
Mikenno: *wings* *grabs eclipse and flies out of the room at max speed* stay with me, eclipse, stay with me.....

Me: i swear, critic, if you kill eclipse, i'll come down there and kill YOU.

Eclipse: *there is a hole in his chest that goes almost all the way through him. His breathing is now faint and he's losing a lot of blood. His vision switches between fuzzy and normal*

meanwhile

Vorace: *aims his jaws at Skye's throat*

me: wasn't planning to XD

Skye: *closes her eyes tightly and looks away* so... so you proved him right, then....... *a single shiny tear rolls down her face. she reverts from her daemon form back to her normal form, ready to meet her death* *thinking* see ya in the next life....

meanwhile

Mikenno: *senses his condition and pushes himself to his limit, barely making sharp corners*

Vorace: *is hesitating. Drool leaks through his bared fangs which... are only SLIGHTLY bared now*

meanwhile

Eclipse: *ehh... dying*

Mikenno: goddammit.... *whoosh flies into a med room and puts him down on the hospital bed, then smashes the "assistance button, and a doctor ran in almost immediately*
Geckodon doctor: what? what is it? *sees eclipse* AAAH! what happened to him?! *runs around rummaging for his doctory things, face mask, gloves, that kind of stuff. another doctor hurries in, followed by a couple of nurses*
Mikenno: that's not important doc, what's important now is that he's bleeding out, and if you don't do something fast, he'll die. *looks down at himself, he's covered in blood* i think i'm proof enough >:(
Geckodon: *nods*

meanwhile

Skye: *is still frozen in place, waiting for the death blow* .........

Vorace: *in a voice that is practically a whisper* I cannot... *he crawls off of Skye* i am... so sorry... i have caused you so much pain... *looks like he's gong to just break down*

meanwhile

Eclipse: *his breathing has gotten much worse, and you can tell by his grimacing face that he's suffering*

Skye: eclipse!! *stands vorace up and spindashes at ghost, WHAMMING into him and knocking him to the floor* WHAT. DID. YOU. DO?!

Me: holy shoot, a brown-and-white predatory bird flew over my head while coming back from school. RAPTOR'S STALKING MEEEE! O_O

Ghost: nothing special, just injected him with the ceremonial whatever liquid. *kicks himself back up, and roundhouse kicks Skye in the back of the head (XD Shadow)*

Eclipse: WHAT THE F***???

Vorace: *snarls angrily after Skye is kicked, fur bristling, and slams into Ghost, pinning him down*

Skye: *falls on her face, her snout hitting the ground hard, her nose is bleeding when she gets back up* why you little... *her eyes glow ice-blue*
Frigitt: i will help you.
Skye: *nods to seemingly nobody, then BAM her big daemony claws come out. they look kinda like vorace's claws, but smoother and black* lets see now, will this be a real hunt or a wild raven chase? *grins creepily, her fangs elongated by the daemon* i'll enjoy hurting you. it's what you get for hurting my friends.

Ghost: *pushes Vorace off* we'll see...

Vorace: *snarling gets louder, and he bares his fangs menacingly*

Skye: vorace, go help your dad. i'll deal with him. i always liked chasing birds anyway. *grins wider, then pounces on him*

Vorace: ... ... *snorts, then runs a little to Eclipse* Skye has told me to help you.

Eclipse: yeah yeah, I know... not like I need help anyway...

Vorace: Are you sure?

Eclipse: yeah, I'm fine...

Vorace: *tries to help him up anyway*

Eclipse: *slaps his hand away* I don't need your help... *gets up on his own*

Skye: *growls at vorace and eclipse* now now, boys, can't we all get along? *turns back to ghost and starls at him, then jumps on him, pinning him to the floor*

me: ♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫
forfeit the game,
before somebody else
takes you out of the frame,
and puts your name to shame;
cover up your face,
you can't run a race
the pace is too fast,
ya just won't last!!
♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫

Me: that's rap, isn't it...?

Ghost: *kicks her off, then takes off his gloves to reveal sharp talons* Vinice said not to hurt the innocent. Guess what? I don't care.

Skye: *flips around and lands on her feet, and her daemon tails come out* well, you shouldn't have a problem then, *now in double voice* because there's NOTHING innocent about me. *runs ah him on all fours then leaps into the air*

Me: it's linkin park. me likes linkin park. song was stuck in my head ALL DAY. yes that part is rap. just that part, i think....

Ghost: *back flips away, and throws ninja stars at her in the air*

Vorace: Skye!!

Skye: *blocks them individually with her claws in a very ninja-ish style, but misses on and it cuts her cheek. she lands on all fours and growls* nice moves. i guess i was right when i picked ninjas over pirates >:)

me: *dies* XDDDDDDD

Skye: *in an eerily innocent but still double voice* but i'm afraid i'll just have to kick your @$$ into next month; is that ok with you mr demon hunter sir?

Me: FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF!!!!!

Skye: *lets go of his hand and starts to walk back to her own room, which is a floor below* see ya, vorace.

MEANWHILE

Raptor: oh it was horrible!! the only thing we looked forward to was going to battle, and trust me, that wasnt very much fun either!

Vorace: *smiles warmly at her* ... bye... *goes inside his room*

meanwhile

Jacob: that seems horrible...

Skye: *laughs inwardly, then notices* my god, i'm SOAKED! *LOLs and runs off to her room*

meanwhiles

Raptor: oh it was.. *looks outside* huh. look like the rain let up.

Jacob: All riiiiiight! Let's gooooooo! *runs off to the roof* AHAHA! HAHA! I'M IMPRESSING HIM! HAHA! (XD)

meanwhile

Vorace: :) *goes into his room* this was Luminosidade's room. It belonged to my host... and his body... I feel at ease here... and yet... not.

Mysterious Echidna Who Was There the Whole Time in the Shadows: and why is that?

Vorace: *jumps, then pounces at the shadowy figure*

M.E: *jumps out of the way* seriously, Vorace? SERIOUSLY??

Vorace: how is it you know me??

M.E: I know your father... I've known your father for... a VERY long time...

Vorace: Eclipse?

M.E: no, Vorace... your REAL father...

Skye: *has changed out of her rain-soaked clothes into her normal clothes, and walks back out of her room* aah... much better.
Frigitt: *feels uneasy* .....
Skye: .... Frigitt? what's up?
Frigitt: something's wrong.....

MEANWHILE

Raptor: *followz* okeyyyy we're here! *looks around* where'd he go?

M.E.: my name is Vinice. I decsend from the same clan your father DESTROYED...

Vorace: I... I am sorry... I really cannot help -

Vinice: you can help me. You can help me with the location of your father so I may smite him for the backstabbing little pile of s*** he is...

Vorace: such language... but it is used all in vain. I apoligies, but I cannot betray my own father.

Vinice: figures a filthy demon like you would -

Vorace: RAAAAAAGH!! *attacks him*

meanwhile

Jacob: oh.

Frigitt: !!!
Skye: *urgently* what is it?!
Frigitt: a presence... here! vorace! hurry!
Skye: *doesn't need any more persuading and RUNS LIKE HELL to lumi's room*

meanwhile

Raptor: hmm... he must have gone back inside....?

Jacob: *facepalm*

meanwhile

Vorace: *bites down on Vinice's wrist*

Vinice: *smacks him with his staff*

Vorace: *winces, but bites harder, making the horrible mistake of DRAWING BLOOD FROM VINICE WHICH ACTIVATES A BLOOD FRENZY!!*

Raptor: whoops. he must've JUST gone in though....

MEANWHILE

Frigitt: hurry!
Skye: I'M TRYING! *pushes herself to her limit, and blasts through the door, screeching to a halt in the room* VORACE!

Vorace: *has blood stained all over his mouth, and dribbling down his chin. He's twitching horribly, and hhis breathing is ragged. He looks like a wild animal* RRRRRRRR...

Vinice: D:>

meanwhile

Jacob: NSS!!

Frigitt: do what you must...
Skye: *eyes turn icy, and she grabs vorace, trying to pull him off* honestly, vorace, i leave you alone for five minutes, FIVE MINUTES, and you go and make a big mess!!

meanwhilez

Raptor: heheh ^^;

Vorace: *slashes at Skye. He is still in his blood rage*

Vinice: my GOD!! *stands up, twirls his staff, then slams it down on Vorace's head*

Vorace: YARF! *drops down, unconcious*

Vinice: no hurting the missus.

Skye: *stands up, still holding vorace and scowls* i had this under control. *her ice-blue eyes fade back to dark noticably*

Vinice: I can't take any chances. I will make sure no one dies today.

Vorace: *...*

Skye: oh, i can take care of myself, thank you very much. *looks down worriedly at vorace* he'll be ok, right?

(whoops, i forgot, lets make everything worse ^^)

Frigitt: i do believe he'll be fine, skye.

Skye: *a little cloud escapes skye's mouth, as if the room was cold* huh...

(oh god, not a DANNY PHANTOM REFERENCE!! D8)

Vorace: *...*

Vinice: *confirms Frigitt's statement* he will be fine.

(it wasnt supposed to be like thaaaaaaaat!! he's supposed to notice that skye has a demonnnnnnnnnnn DX)

Skye: good to hear..... *pets vorace*

(oh ok. BTW, I want to write on how much Danny Phantom sucks :D)

Vinice: something is up with you, hybrid... something DARK...

Vorace: *...*

(it's an OK show if you ask me....... it's a little monotonous, though.)

Skye: *looks up* hmm? what, just because i worry about others doesn't mean something's wrong with me.
Frigitt: *in her head* he knows.
Skye: *thinking* about what?
Frigitt: about US!!
Skye: *hadn't expected it, and an involuntary but quiet gasp escapes her lips. she puts a hand over her mouth, but is too late and only makes it even more obvious*

Vinice: let me tell you something now, Hybrid... I am a demon hunter. I have banded together a group of misfits called The Mist, and searched all over the globe to destroy demons... but there is one demon that I still want to destroy more than any other... *through clenched teeth* I... WANT... HAINE... AL... ALAR. You probabally know him as Condemned...

A Raven: *coming through the window. He has a latin accent, and is ressed as a ninja* did you find him yet, boss?

Vinice: not yet, Ghost. Not yet.

Ghost: I am starting to doubt your placement as our leader...

Vinice: don't. We are close.

(note: Ghost was put in the story "Condemned" in my story collection, and was created before the War Story Arc came up)

(aah! i forgot to keep reading that!! *runs over there*)

Skye: *narrows her eyes and hugs vorace tighter* you do know i'll never talk, echidna. *tilts her head to one side* i was hoping you'd respect another echidna... even if she WAS a hybrid. must've asked for too much, huh?
Frigitt: you aren't helping the situation, skye. control yourself.

Vinice: I'm trying to put out an evil in this world, and you're trying to STOP me?

Ghost: this is painful to watch... Vinice, this girl only is a barrier on our way to the destruction of Condemned... let's kill her! No one will care if we just -

Vinice: NO! We do NOT slaughter innocence! You know that!

Ghost: *glares* ... ...

(wait, where are these stories? they're not in the "condemned" stories)

Skye: *scoffs* innocence? heh. besides, i never said i was going to stop you. I'm just not gonna help you. why do you want this "condemned" anyway? *hugs vorace tighter, petting his head comfortingly* hurt someone you love? *narrows eyes*

(they're not in "Control" they're a story thingy all on their own!)

Vorace: *weak purring*

Vinice: he is my ancestor. An ancestor who destroyed his own clan by murdering his brother - the chief.

Ghost: Condemned is Vinice's great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great grandfather.

Vinice: thank you, Ghost, I'm sure that was completelly neccessary... -_-;;

Skye: *nods and speaks sarcastically* oh no, that was EXTREMELY helpful, sirs. now if you'll excuse me--- *WHOOSH is out the door before anyone can say WAIT! she took vorace with her* i gotta warn eclipse!!

Vinice: she must be in league with the demon... GHOST! Go after her!

Ghost: yes, "master"... *darts off*

meanwhile

Eclipse: *is in the library that totally exsists reading a book called "Supernatural Interviews Book 1"*

Skye: *opens the door to eclipse's room* eclipse!!! *looks around* huh. not here..... *closes the door and runs to the main floor* where could he---
Frigitt: library.
Skye: how do you--
Frigitt: i asked mikenno. hurry!
Skye: *runs, still carrying vorace*

Ghost: *follows silently, and quickly, darted through the shadows, unseen by the others*

meanwhile

Eclipse: *pageturn*

Skye: *runs into the library STILL dragging vorace around* ECLIPSE!!

Eclipse: *suprised, he jumps, and drops his book* WHAT?? WHAT DO YOU WANT??

Vorace: *ear twitches*

Ghost: *IS OMG THISCLOSE TO THE LIBRARY*

Skye: *hers him coming* oh my gosh, eclipse, you have to RUN! there's these guys here looking for you, for condemned!!! this eclidna guy, and a bird named Ghost! they hurt vorace, and now they want to kill you!
Frigitt: he is here!!
Skye: *freaking out* you have to GO eclipse!! run!!

Me: dude, i can't find the stories. i know they're not in control, are they in "condemned"?

Me: yes.

Eclipse: run? From a FIGHT? Are you MAD? That's cowardly. I'll stay. I'll stay and kick those guys' asses.

Ghost: *drops from the ceiling, right in front of Eclipse* will you, now? You'll kick my @$$? *tries to roundhouse kick him in the face*

Eclipse: *grabs his foot, and chucks him across the room, into a stone bookshelf* Yeah. I will.

Vorace: *finally wakes up* ...my head... it is hurting...

Skye: *notices he's awake* aah! vorace! *turns him around so she can look at him* you're awake! how are you feeling? *is also worried about eclipse*

Vorace: I am fine... just fine... got a bump on my head, though... stupid echidna... stupid staff...

Ghost: *runs at Eclipse at full speed, then stops abruptly, and throws a few darts at him*

Eclipse: *is hit* AGH!!

Raptor: ..... have you walked around here at all? this place looks huge.

MEANWHILE

Skye: *shakes her head* it wouldn't be the same...... *a tear rolls down her face, but is indistinguishable from the now-pouring rain*

Me: ♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫
i used to be my own protection...but not now

Vorace: ... ... *moves his claws slowly towards Skye's hand, and holds it gently, and look of pity on his face*

meanwhile

Jacob: maybe... maybe when I was Angel... but I just don't remember now...

Jacob: was that the name of your demon-thing? Angel? that's rather ironic.....

MEANWHILE

Skye: *looks up at him, eyes watering noticeably, and she just stares up at him*

Me: you mean Raptor? XD

Vorace: *stares down at her. He does not mention her watering eyes, but definetally notices it. Understandable, considering Luminosidade's death was just recently. Remarkably to him, he finds himself extremelly close to Skye... and wishing to be the same way to her*

meanwhile

Jacob: yeah... now that I think about it... it was.

Me: goshdangit, i keep finding myself typing jacob instead of raptor XP

Raptor: heh. know the names of anyone else's demons?

MEANWHILE

Skye: *looks into his eyes, and has a sudden urge to just break down and start bawling, but she remains strong and doesn't cry. she stands up, not letting go of vorace's hand*

Vorace: *stands up with her* are you alright, Skye?

meanwhile

Jacob: uhhh... well, I've been studying this demon named "Condemned" before... I guess that's what got me into my mess...

Me: RAAWGH I ALMOST TYPED JACOB AGAIN DX

Raptor: condemned? why does that sound familiar....?

MEANWHILE

Skye: *looks down* i.. i honestly don't know, vorace. i'm not sure what to do....... whether to forget lumi or to keep mourning.....

Vorace: pardon my demonic lack of full understanding for mobian emotions... but... why would you keep mourning if it only makes you upset?

meanwhile

Jacob: hmm... well... I have a small recollation of hearing that the host was in this army...

Raptor: *remembers* aha! that hedgehog! or hybrid, i'm not sure... he had a demon that looked JUST LIKE the boy...... could they be at all related??

MEANWHILE

Skye: we keep mourning because we don't want that person to go away....... because we miss them....... *looks up at the still-dark sky* we don't want to let them go.

Vorace: oh... I am. so sorry... although I cannot bring Luminosidade back... perhaps I can fill that void... with... with my friendship?

meanwhile

Jacob: No. I'm pretty sure they're not related. Demons can take on the shape of the host - only distorted, and grotesque. If Condemned were to possess you, he would look like a demonic version of you.

Raptor: .......well, it that's how it works, then my case is even more valid. the demon's outlines were IDENTICAL, and the hedgehog stopped in his tracks when he saw the boy....

MEANWHILE

Skye: *looks up at him, surprised* i.... *is slightly disappointed, but smiles* i would really appreciate that. *hugs him tightly with her free arm, her other hand still in his* thank you, vorace.

Jacob: I believe that the boy was a special case. Have you ever heard of demon spawning?

meanwhile

Vorace: *hugs her back, smiling warmly, happy to have cheered Skye up at least a little bit*

Raptor: demon spawning?

Me: lol couldn't figure out what else to say XDDD

MEANWHILE

Skye: *doesnt let go of him, but hugs him tighter. she holds his hand tighter*

Me: oh OK... XD

Jacob: When the host of a demon, and his or her mate... uh... make love... the demon is forced to inject a smaller bit of itself into the mate as well, causing a demon-host child. This is how demons spread. I think that one kid was a demon spawn.

meanwhile

Vorace: *allows her to do so* I am sorry... so sorry... I feel as if I remind you of... of HIM... as if I am hurting you more... cutting your wound deeper...

Me: he's so poetic... <3

Raptor: ...ohhh.... well that makes a whole lot more sense...........

MEANWHILE

Skye: *laughs quietly* actually...... *she turns kinda red, and hides her face under her bangs* y-you kinda help.......... heheh.......

Vorace: <:) ... ... then I am glad.

meanwhile

Jacob: good thing I've been studying them, eh?

Raptor: it kinda helps to have an expert on our side, huh? XD

meanwhile!

Skye: *snuggles against him* you're cold...

Vorace: I... do not have real body heat, Skye... *blushes from the cuddling, and EVEN STARTS TO PURR*

meanwhile

Jacob: GODDAMN RAIN! GODDAMN IT!

Raptor: PATIENCE, HEDGEHOG! gawd...

meanwhile

Skye: i thought so... *feels the purring through his chest, and blushes even more* heheh.... ^///^

Me: i want so squee so badly, but my mom's in the room and she'll look at me funny DX

Jacob: ARE YOU TRULY A KNIGHT? YOU SEEM MORE LIKE A COURT JESTER!

meanwhile

Vorace: *the purring does not cease* ...we should head inside...

Raptor: save the hugs and kisses for later!! XDDDDDDDD

MEANWHILE

Skye: nyeh... *closes her eyes and snuggles some more* do we have to?

Me: *is doing her best to hold back the squees, and it comes out as a stupid-looking grin* <:S

Jacob: XDD

meanwhile

Vorace: *purring gets louder, despite Vorace trying to cease it. Getting somewhat nervous, though, very VERY happy* oh... uh... Skye... you... you are... s'little close...

Raptor: *is also cracking up* XDDDDD

meanwhilezzzzzzz 8D

Skye: hmm? didnt catch that.... *sees him blushing out of the corner of her eye and turns even more red herself, and hides her face in his chest fluff* nyehh....

Me: *can't help but squee out loud, getting odd stares from the rest of my family* .........umm.. cute youtube video? ^^;

Vorace: c-come on, Skye... really, let us go inside... the rain will make you ill...

meanwhile

Jacob: *wipes a tear from his eye* heheh... woo...

Raptor: *trying to catch his breath* heheh... that was a good laugh! i needed that!!!!

MEANWHILE

Skye: ...okay. *reluctantly lets go of vorace, still holding his hand, and pulls him towards a roof-access door*

Jacob: yeah... guess it was ^^

meanwhile

Vorace: *goes back into the room*

Skye: *silent and soaked, she leads him down the stairs to the sixth floor, where his room is. she stops in front of the door* well.... here's your room, vorace. you'll have anything ya need in there. if you need something, let one of us know, okay? *smiles at him*

MEANWHILE

Raptor: heh... we never got to do this back at base... rules to strict, you know. that and my being a third rank general means i don't get to have much fun...

Jacob: heh ^^ well that's just SAD...

meanwhile

Vorace: *smiles back* very well.

(must go eat dinner. I can't go back on because my dad has a draft)

Raptor: *nods* if he was any crueler, he'd be the devil....

MEANWHILE

Skye: *pokes him* aww, come on... as long as no one smeaks up on ya, you're fiiiiine.... :D

Mikenno: *tilts his head towards eclipse in the "SEE? what did i tell ya? you're paranoid" way*

Jacob: let's track him down.

meanwhile

Eclipse: ... *reluctantly* FINE. I will, for now, trust you... but if you do ANYTHING, you're DEAD.

Vorace: yes... er... half-father -

Eclipse: DON'T call me that... EVER... *walks out*

Vorace: :(

Mikenno: *shakes his head* saw that one coming too.....
Skye: but.... he'll get over it, right?
Mikenno: he might need convincing.
Skye: ...... *lets go of vorace and runs after eclipse* hey!

MEANWHILE

Raptor: *is taken aback by the sudden offer* you... you can't be serious?

Eclipse: *glances behind him for a second, then keeps walking*

meanwhile

Vorace: *somewhat depressed now*

meanwhile

Jacob: I am.

Raptor: but... but that would be SUICIDE!

MEANWHILE

Mikenno: .... don't worry, vorace, she'll try her best to change his mind. she'll be back.

MEANWHILE

Skye: *gets annoyed* hmph. *runs in front of eclipse, blocking his path* look eclipse, you could at least listen to me, ok?

Eclipse: No. No I don't think I will. *pushed her out of the way, and keeps walking*

meanwhile

Vorace: what if she does not? Is he to hate me forever?

meanwhile

Jacob: not if it's an assasination. Not if we use someone with fantastic skills to do so... someone... ironic. In a sense. Something to come back to haunt Wreed... make him feel guilty before he dies... hmmm...

Raptor: you mean... the demon boy?

MEANWHILE

Skye: *is determined to reason with him* honestly, i like the younger you better. at least you listened. *has a strange glint in her eye, looking much like her mother 25 years ago. she sounds very harsh. she's not joking around* guess that eclipse just faded with the time, huh? figures.

MEANWHILE

Mikenno: hmm... her methods are... unorthodox. if she fails, eclipse may end up disliking her as well.....

Jacob: yes... yes, that's exactly who I mean...

meanwhile

Eclipse: *notices the difference in Skye's tone and eyes. He raises an eyebrow, and stops walking* Skye... before you say anything, I'll tell you that you cannot convince me to like Vorace. He is a predetor. Designed to kill. As for changing over time... I think you, too, have done that, Skye...

meanwhile

Vorace: well, then... let us hope she convinces him...

Skye: *is sort of taken aback by the truth in eclipse's words, and a look of hurt flashes across her face, quickly replaced by her previous stubbornness. her ears flatten against her head* i'm not the little kid you used to know, eclipse. i've been through more in the last six years of my life than most of the mobians here have gone through in their entire lives. don't start comparing me to you, 'cause i know you're a way different case. i was just trying to talk. you could have at least stopped and listened. *turns her back to him and starts off in the opposite direction, but instead of her usual run, she merely walks off, leaving eclipse to ponder her words* ...

MEANWHILE

Mikenno: *sighs* should have seen that one coming.....

MEANWHILE

Raptor: ....do you think the leadership here would let us? do you think the boy would be willing to do something like that?

Jacob: Not sure, but if we can have him assasinated, then the war would end in the hybrid's favor. Are you willing to commit treason?

meanwhile

Vorace: it did not go well?

meanwhile

Eclipse: ... ... *just stand there, watching Skye walk off, and his ears slowly droop - eyes slowly go from angry, to guilty for treating Skye so badly*

Raptor: ........ deserting the army is already treason. i've already got a target painted on my back. if it helps end the war, i will do it.

MEANWHILE

Mikenno: .......apparently not. there's guilt flying EVERYWHERE though....

MEANWHILE

Skye: *just keeps walking, her ears still flat against her head, and she bites her lip to keep herself from turning around and apologizing* ......

Jacob: good. All we need now is to get that one demon to help...

meanwhile

Vorace: Guilt? Was there the calling of names? (XD)

meanwhile

Eclipse: *thinks about going after Skye, then continues walking* ...

Raptor: *nods* mhmm. now we just need to find him....

MEANWHILE

Mikenno: there was none. it was a short exchange, but it was pretty personal. They're both hurt, and feel guilty for hurting the other.

MEANWHILE

Skye: *hears him start walking and stops. she clenches her fists, and turns around. she yells after him* I' know you're feeling like crap because lumi's dead, but you should know that vorace isn't the monster you think he is! *she turns back around and runs off at full speed, never looking back again*

Jacob: that should be easy.

meanwhile

Vorace: oh... that is still not a good thing...

meanwhile

Eclipse: *ears flatten, and he only speeds up his pace, quietly talking to himself* Vorace is probabally just as evil as Condemned, and will wait when we're unprepared to do something... you never trust his kind... never... never!

Skye: *just keeps running, and goes outside. she jumps onto a tree, jumps up again, grabbing on to a windowsill. she pulls herself up, and continues up to the roof*

MEANWHILE

Raptor: how so? there's ten floors we have to look in.

MEANWHILE

Mikenno: Eclipse still doesn't trust you. Skye's angry for having failed you......she's up on the roof. *stops and thinks* i think you should go up there.

Vorace: *nods* that would be best. *opens the window, and climbes out*

meanwhile

Jacob: well... all we really need to do is ask... as a demon, he'll probabally stick out like a sore thumb. We need to walk up to be and go; 'hey, have you seen a blue, red-eyed monster?'

meanwhile

Eclipse: *goes to his room, slams the door, sits on his bed, and stares at the wall*

Mikenno: good luck... *walks out of the room and just wanders around*

MEANWHILE

Raptor: .......i knew that.

MEANWHILE

Skye: *is now up on the roof, and is sitting on the edge, staring out at the city. thunder rumbles in the sky, and she looks up. dark clouds had filled the sky, and they looked fit to burst. she sighs* don't feel like going back in...... *it starts to drizzle*

Vorace: *from behind her* you will catch a cold if you do not.

meanwhile

Eclipse: *weeps*

meanwhile

Jacob: *smug grin*

Raptor: it's not funny. *looks around and spots a big black and white mobian* hey! hold up! *runs over*
Manny: yeah?
Raptor: have you seen a weird-looking blue mobian with bright red eyes?

MEANWHILE

Skye: *ears twitch at the voice and she immediately recognizes him, but doesn't turn around* mmmff.

Vorace: come now, Skye... I do not wish you to be ill... or is something bothering you? My half-fa -- ECLIPSE'S stubborness?

meanwhile

Jacob: Yes, have you? He's blue. Big ears? Red around the waist?

Skye: *huffs* that. and the fact that i couldn't get him to trust you. why couldn't he see that you're not like he thinks you are?! i.. i just feel like i let you down..... *the rain comes down harder. a lightning bolt flashes across the sky*

MEANWHILE

Manny: huh. come to think of it, i saw someone blue and red outside. it's pouring out there, though. you might wanna wait until the rain lets up.

Jacob: *shrugs* a'ight.

meanwhile

Vorace: *shivers at the lightning* you did not let me down, Skye... the hedgebat must be upset right now... give him time, THEN reason with him... even still... you don't have to do this for me...

Skye: .......i'm doing it 'cause i want to, vorace. i feel like... like it'd make lumi happy, ya know? i dont think he appreciates eclipse treating you like... like... like an animal. *thunder rumbles again*

MEANWHILE

Raptor: *shudders at the thunder* yeahhhh.. that's good idea.
Manny: heh.

Me: lol... manny's 34 now... and he's HUGE.....

Me: huge as in muscular, or huge as iiinnnn... <('')>

Vorace: I personally don't think you could ever make Luminosidade unhappy. *gives her a sweet smile*

meanwhile

Jacob: ... ...

Me: MUSCLES, baby MUSCLES. and tall too XD he's a BADGERWOLF, what can you expect? add heterosis into the equation and BAM! giant mobian ^^

Manny: ^^ *walks off*
Raptor: and now we wait.

MEANWHILE

Skye: *smiles inwardly, but doesn't budge from the ledge* *sighs* i just wish i could, you know...... talk to him. at least one more time.....

Me: ♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫
my insides are turned to ash...so slow
and the weight inside collapsed...so cold
a black wind took them away...from sight
and now the darkness over day...that night
and the clouds above move closer
looking so dissatisfied
but the heartless wind kept blowing, blowing....
♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫

Me: NIIIICE

Vorace: I could... control the body from INSIDE... so that it looks like you are talking to Luminosidade... I would still have my eyes, though

meanwhile

Jacob: *waiting*

Mikenno: .......letting it out helps. *sits down next to him. tears are now streaming freely from his eyes. he wipes some away*

MEANWHILE

Raptor: pleasure to meet you, Jacob. so...... i told you MY story. you don't seem to be a hybrid. what brought you here?

MEANWHILE

Skye: *can't take it anymore and starts sobbing*

Vorace: D: *frantically goes to comfort her*

meanwhile

Eclipse: *sobs some more*

meanwhile

Jacob: oh, y'know... a bloodthirsty demon conjured up in an experiment-gone-wrong, and it tricking me into thinking it was god, and I was it's messenger.

Raptor: i...see...... well that's interesting.

MEANWHILE

Skye: *still sobbing, overcome with grief, and loneliness*

MEANWHILE

Mikenno: *puts an arm around his shoulders, tears still streaming from his eyes* ....

Eclipse: *between sobs* my son... was... MURDERED! ...MURDERED!!

meanwhile

Jacob: freaked you out, didn't I?

meanwhile

Vorace: please, Skye... please do not cry... it will be alright... it will get better...

Mikenno: *managing to control his sobbing* i was there... i saw him die..... it was horrible. in all the years of my life, i never felt more grief... or hate!

MEANWHILE

Raptor: no it's not you, jake, its just that well.... half the hybrids here seen to have some kind of unholy problem! like that hedgetigerat......... *remembering what had transpired earlier that day, he hangs his head in shame* i let them do that to him.........

MEANWHILE

Skye: *nods, still crying, then she takes a deep breath to steady herself. then, almost inaudibly, she sings:* good times and bad times i can count on being with you..... i thank you for staying so true....... my life will go on a long time, have to catch up when i see you....... and you are my reason i can make it through.......

Eclipse: *hugs Mikenno, still sobbing*

meanwhile

Vorace: :( *hugs Skye. His embrace is warm... and yet not*

meanwhile

Jacob: well... that could be what brings the hybrids together... because... maybe they support each other, and help themselves with their problems... ... what DID they do to that... er... "hedgetigerat" was it?

Raptor: they killed him. they MURDERED him. in the worst way possible. i didn't give the order. they did it on their own. i swear, when this war is over, i will have them PUNISHED!! *was yelling by the time he got to the last sentence, and a couple of hybrids look at him funny* ......

MEANWHILE

Mikenno: *hugs him back in silence* .....

MEANWHILE

Skye: *hugs him back, grateful for his presence*

Jacob: perhaps the order was given from a higher rank? Possibly the Commander?

meanwhile

Eclipse: *still... sobs*

meanwhile

Vorace: do you feel happiness yet, Skye?

Skye: *says nothing, but hugs him tigher*

MEANWHILE

Mikenno: *sits with him in silence, quietly mourning*

MEANWHILE

Raptor: no... army law requires them to alert me if they want to do such a thing. he WAS one of MY soldiers.

Jacob: but wouldn't he just have been another hybrid soldier? Perhaps it was a secret command.

meanwhile

Vorace: I am guessing that is a 'no'.

meanwhile

Eclipse: *sniffles, then lets go of Mikenno* well... life basically sucks, doesn't it?

Mikenno: if i've learned one thing in my life, it's that life isn't fair. ever.

MEANWHILE

Raptor: it could have been. but the only person who could do that would be.....

Me: i need a name to throw out here, critic ^^;

MEANWHILE

SKye: *shakes her head, and just hugs him even tighter*

Vorace: *hugs her tighter, but makes sure not to crush Skye with his super duper strength :D*

meanwhile

Eclipse: ... I believe it.

Me: howsabooouuut... errrr... Victor Wreed? Wreed, in Dutch, means cruel. So then it would (insert ranking) Wreed.

Me: sounds good ^^

Raptor: *lightbulb* *through gritted teeth* Wreed.......

MEANWHILE

Mikenno: *smiles* then again... he's in a better place now.

MEANWHILE

Skye: ....... *buries her face in his chest fur and loosens the hug*

Vorace: please, Skye... seeing you cry makes myself upset...

meanwhile

Jacob: Wreed?

meanwhile

Eclipse: yeah... I guess...

Skye: i know..... i-i'm sorry.......

MEANWHILE

Mikenno: *stands up* .....do you wanna go see vorace? there's something... different.... about him.

MEANWHILE

Raptor: Commander Victor Wreed..... he was known for his cruelty, especially to hybrids... but even the pureblood soldiers often were punished by him.

Me: what IS wreed? like, species.

Me: Wreed iisssssssssss aaaaaaaaa....... Thylacine. Here's a pic. http://www.abc.net.au/reslib/200706/r155076_558915.jpg

Eclipse: I... I don't know... changed HOW?

meanwhile

Jacob: oh...

meanwhile

Vorace: You do not have to be sorry...

Me: yipes.

Raptor: ...... i never liked him. he's the one who promoted me, though......

MEANWHILE

Mikenno: ......he's not.... let's say, evil. he has more of a kind heart than condemned. much more. *senses the goings-on of the med room and smiles* i'm sure of it.

MEANWHILE

Skye: i know... but still. *looks up at him with her deep blue eyes* thank you.

Jacob: what makes a mobian be so full of spite...?

meanwhile

Eclipse: kind? KIND? *can't wrap his mind around this idea*

meanwhile

Vorace: *smiles at her, looking her in the eyes with his glowing red ones*

Skye: *laughs awkwardly, his eyes are something she's not used to, even though she hangs around with mikki a lot. they're somehow...... different*

MEANWHILE

Mikenno: i know it's hard to believe, but...... here, i'll show you.

MEANWHILE

Raptor: i guess it's the same way a mobian can be selfless... it's a choice they make, i guess. *still remembering skye and how she protected lumi*

Jacob: well... you know... it's a sin to kill a mockingbird.

meanwhile

Eclipse: *stands up* alright*

meanwhile

Vorace: *smiles softly at her - worried he may have freaked Skye out a bit, he nervously chuckles as well*

Me: *kills self* AAARGGHGHGHGH!!! THAT BOOOOK!!! was actually not that bad. *lives* you had to read for class too?

Raptor: it's too true. *sighs* they do nothing but sing.

MEANWHILE

Mikenno: *leads him down the corridor+stairs to the med room*

MEANWHILE

Skye: *still staring* what's so funny?

Vorace: you... eh... you seem rather uncomfortable with my eyes...

meanwhile

Eclipse: *follows*

meanwhile

Jacob: I would consider... this... "hedgetigerat" a mockingbird.

Me: I liked that book.

Me: i thought the first 3 chapters were deathly boring, but after that, i rather enjoyed it. lord of the flies is creeping the HELL out of me, though.

Raptor: *nods* i agree. he was drafted against his will... i know that much. i now know that he left his whole life behind. family... friends.... a love... *sniffles*

MEANWHILE

Skye: *smiles* i think they're kinda pretty. in a way, at least. <:)

MEANWHILE

Mikenno: *reaches the room and reaches for the doorknob, then stops and smiles* would you like to go in first? :)

Eclipse: *rather hesitant* n-no... I'm fine.

meanwhile

Vorace: ... ... ... "pretty"?

meanwhile

Jacob: oh geez... hey... er... don't feel bad about that... it's not like YOU were the one who drafted him...

Raptor: ... you're right.

MEANWHILE

Skye: yeah. *laughs* i know you havent heard a comment like that, meaybe, EVER, but. yeah. they're different. i like different. ^^

MEANWHILE

Mikenno: suit yourself. *opens the door*

Vorace: *in an act of primal instinct, he immedietally lunges for Mikenno, and tackles him to the ground*

Eclipse: HEY!! *rams into Vorace, knocking him off*

Vorace: topples over, gets up, shakes his head, and looks at the pair again, squinting as if his vision was foggy, but is getting clearer* oh... I am sorry... I did not realize it was you...

Eclipse: >:(

Vorace: <:(

meanwhile

Jacob: it could have been that Victor Wreed fellow that you mentioned before...

Raptor: if it was anyone, it would have been hem.

MEANWHILE

Mikenno: *stands back up and dusts himself off* oh, it's ok, vorace. i suspected that would happen. ^^

Skye: doesn't anybody knock anymore? *laughs, then hugs vorace again, to show eclipse that nothing's wrong*

Me: dont make anything go wrong, eclipse needs some consolation. >:(

Me: <;D

Eclipse: fff... I still don't trust him...

Vorace: I understand that, hedgebat - after all, even I consider myself a monster...

meanwhile

Jacob: then he's really that cruel...

Mikenno: *holds his hand more tightly* that's it, vorace, fight it! *tries to transfer some of his energy to vorace*

Skye: *screeches to a halt in front of the room, leaving a 10-foot black mark on the floor* whoops. *lets go of jacob* sorry ^^; *hears the commotion in the room and is immediately concerned* ...wait here, ok? *goes into the room, leaving the door partly open*

Jacob: *can't help but peek in*

Vorace: RRRRrrRRRrrRRRRRGH!! *more tenticles come back to Vorace's body. His claws clench and unclench from the pressure and pain*

Skye: oh my god!!! *runs to vorace's side, opposite from mikki* vorace, i dont know what that demekarr's doing to you, but you can't let it take over you!! fight it!!

Jacob: O_O

Vorace: HrrrnnRRR...rrr... *all the tenticals go back in, and Vorace fully slumps onto the bed/slab of steel/gurney/whatever he's on, unconcious*

Skye: *had been holding her breath, and lets it out* oh god.... did... did that demekarr do that to him?
Mikenno: *nods* yeah..... it tried to take over him, and it was causing him a great deal of pain...... *notices jacob* ....i'm sorry you had to see that jacob. you can come in if you want to.

Neon: ...... *shakes his head, sighing* i'm never gonnaunderstand all this demon-demekarr stuff.....

Me: omg should i have them call eclipse?

Me: errr... uhhh... errr... idk. He might be upset.

Vorace: hff... hff... *his hearbeat if somewhat irregular*

Me: fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine.......

Skye: *holds his hand* .......
Mikenno: *closes the door to the room*

Neon: he'll be fine now, hopefully. i'm guessing he just needs some rest now. *stripes turn into a more middle-green color*

Jacob: perhaps... I can help? I'm a doctor...

Vorace: *purrs as Skye holds his hand*

Neon: well, so am i, sort of, but if you know something i don't, then go right ahead.

Skye: *a smile tugs at the corners of her mouth*
Mikenno: *can't help but chuckle* heh....

Jacob: *examines Vorace* oh! Well... he's fine. His heartbeat's a little irregular, but he's fine... huh.

Vorace: *still sleeps*

Neon: huh?

Skye: *thinking* i knew you were strong enough, vorace. you always were....
Mikenno: *hears the thought and smiles* <:).....

Jacob: yes. Huh. He was through that much trauma... and yet... he's fine. Weird.

Vorace: *sleep*

Me: time jump? Like, a few hours later?

Me: sure!! ^^ go ahead ^^

LATER.

Vorace: *somewhat sort of waking up* nrrrrf...

Jacob: *has left the room, but doesn't exactly know where to go*

MEANWHILE

Eclipse: *in his room* grumblegrumblegrumble

Skye: *is sitting by the bed where vorace had been laying, sleeping* ......

MEANWHILE

Mikenno: *was headed to eclipse's room*

MEANWHILE

Raptor: *also somewhat lost, and is getting threatening looks from some of the hybrids. he was still wearing his armor, which had the pureblood insignia on it* well, this is nice.... *takes his helmet off and starts scratching at the insignia, trying to rub off as much as he could of it* stupid helmet...

Jacob: *looks at Raptor* HALP.

meanwhile

Eclipse: maybe I should consider doing that interview with that one supernatural-book-author... *scratches behind his ear*

meanwhile

Vorace: *wakes up more* Skye...?

Skye: *ear twitches and she wakes up too* vorace...? *yawns widely* yawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwn.... ugh, i'm sorry.....

MEANWHILE

Raptor: hey, i need help too. feels like half the hybrids in here wanna kill me. i don't blame 'em, though.

MEANWHILE

Mikenno: *stops outside eclipse's door* ...... *knocks* hey, eclipse. it's mikki.

Eclipse: Mikenno...? Nrgh... Come in...

meanwhile

Jacob: What did you do?

meanwhile

Vorace: no need to be sorry... it was time to awaken anyway...

Mikenno: ....if you don't want to talk, i'll go....

MEANWHILE

Raptor: well.... you know the war that's going on right now, right?

MEANWHILE

Skye: *stretches* when you say awaken, you just mean, "wake up", right?

Vorace: I speak differently from the other mobians. Surly you have figured this out by now, yes?

meanwhile

Eclipse: no... no... you can come in...

meanwhile

Jacob: I've missed the last thirty years of my life.

Skye: yeah i know.... just a little woozy right now, that's all. *stumbles to her feet* you were out for quite a while. that demekarr must've put up quite a fight.

MEANWHILE

Raptor: *eyebrow raise* okay then... well, lets just say, i caused the deaths of a lot of people that called this place home. i dont think they appreciate me being here.

MEANWHILE

Mikenno: ..... *goes into the room* hey.

Eclipse: *looks pained* hey.

meanwhile

Jacob: You WHAT??

meanwhile

Vorace: *hisses, conferming Skye's statement* disgusting demekarr... at least my own body will destroy, or absorb it... ... ... *is thoughtful*

Mikenno: *avoids reading eclipse's mind* ...what's wrong, eclipse?

MEANWHILE

Skye: *is now fully awake* yeahhh...... *notices his silence* ...what's up?

MEANWHILE

Raptor: if you haven't noticed, there's a war going on. i was a high-ranking general on the other side--- *points to the half-rubbed-off insignia on this helmet* three stars. one of their highest ranks. *gets back to scratching at the helmet*

Jacob: aaaand... you left?

meanwhile

Eclipse: ... ... *bites his bottom lip*

meanwhile

Vorace: many times, Skye... many times you have mistaken me for Luminosidade...

Raptor: ....yes. for many years, i thought hybrids were just dirty mutts. but just a couple of hours or so ago, an echidhog girl proved me wrong. everyone else in this room is more of a mobian than i will ever be. that is why i left.

MEANWHILE

Mikenno: .......eclipse......

MEANWHILE

Skye: .......... *looks away* i know i have. it's just that.... well...... i just can't believe he's really gone..... after all these years, i though we'd finally be together, you know? *a single tear rolls down her face. she doesn't notice.*

Jacob: well... at least you know your mistake. Joining HN may allow you to repent for your mistakes...

meanwhile

Eclipse:... ... ...he's really gone... isn't he...? *tears stream down his face. He holds back a sob*

meanwhile

Vorace: *leans over, and wipes away the tear with a claw* I am a part of him, Skye... and that part says to you that you should not feel remorse over his passing... he is in a better place now... one with no death and war... a happy place...

Skye: *smiles, eyes still watering* i know. at least, now i'm sure. we'll miss him....

MEANWHILE

Mikenno: ..........i'm sorry eclipse..... you can cry if you want to. i know i do. *a tear rolls down his face* huh. looks like i already am.....

MEANWHILE

Raptor: i hope so. i really hope so. *has managed to completely rub off the insignia and puts his helmet back on, keeping his visor up* i never introduced myself. I am Raptor. Raptor the Osprey.

Jacob: it's a pleasure to meet you, Raptor. My name is Jacob the Hedgehog.

meanwhile

Vorace: I know you all will... *smiles sweetly at her like Luminos did*

meanwhile

Eclipse: *despite reassurance from Mikki, he tries holding back the sobs... and fails*

Skye: *barely avoids getting slashed in half, but gets cut on the ear* yeowch!! AAAH! *backs off of angel when the tentagles fly in* whoa there, vorace!!

Mikenno: *growling, he speaks through his teeth* move, vorace. *stalks towards angel, waiting for vorace to get out of his way*

Vorace: *hesitates, then steps out of the way*

Angel: *slumps to the floor, eyes wide, and seemingly lifeless*

Mikenno: *goes up to angel, keeping his distance. he finds it hard to read his thoughts, but is suspicious of his quick defeat, and doesn't believe he's dead* ....... *the black flames grow in his mouth* if you're still alive, angel, i suggest you end this act and leave if you know what's good for you. *is ready to loose the flames onto angel at moment's notice*

Skye: *eyes narrow* ya ok, vorace?

Vorace: *grunts* demon nature. Hard not to tear your own species to bitty bits. Fun. Violent.

Angel: *wheezes*

Vorace: *twitches, then suddenly pounces on Angel. He bites into his face, and pulls something silvery-blue, and transparent out*

Demakarr: SCREEEEEEEE!!

Angel: *turns back into a loin-cloth wearing, rather awkward, normal Jacob the Hedgehog. Who is unconcious*

Vorace: *eats the demakarr, and shudders*

Skye: O_o.... was that what i think it was....?

Mikenno: ...... that was not expected. *sort of swallows the flames, and a low growl escapes his mouth, almost like a burp XD*

Skye: *tries to hold in a laugh (at mikki)* did you just eat a demekarr?

Vorace: NRRRRRRGH.... YESSSSSSS...!! *falls down, twitching, and generally spazzing out*

Jacob: *still unconcious*

Skye: !! AAAH! spit out out!! cough it up!!! GET IT OUT!

Mikenno: >:( *growls* vorace, you have to get rid of it!!

Vorace: CAN'T... ALREADY... IN... grrRRRRRRR!!

Jacob: *still... yeah.*

Me: CRITC WHADDOWEDO??? will it kill him?!

Skye: NO! vorace, you cant let that thing stay in there, it might end up killing you!! I WON'T LOSE YOU AGAIN!!

Mikenno: *sadness wells up in him, but he fights it off* that was a foolish thing to do vorace!! a demekarr is dangerous enough outside it's host, and you just go and eat it!?

Skye: stop yelling at him, mikki, you're not helpinG!!!

Vorace: *Shudders some more, then collapses - though he's still breathing, it's shaky and rhaspy*

Jacob: *...*

Skye: vorace? VORACE!

Mikenno: *glances at the unconscious hedgehog, then looks back at vorace* ..... we need to take a look. get neon. *turns back to normal and picks up vorace* we'll be needing an xray.

Skye: *nods silently, then runs off*

Mikenno: .....hang on, vorace....

Vorace: *hoarse whispering* other... demakarr... trying to take... over... stupid stupid... demakarr... too weak to take over... only hurt us both...

Jacob: *groans a bit*

Me: btw, Jacob is brown, and looks like a normal hedgehog. One that looks like a porcupine. He wears glasses, and he's very bookish. He was a professor at Mobotropolis Univerity before becoming Angel, and killing his students and co-workers. Oh, and he killed his fiance.

Mikenno: *stops so he can listen better* is there any way to remove the demekarr without hurting you permanently?

Skye: NEOOOOON!!
Neon: hmm? *hasn't changed all that much because he was already from the future, and is only a couple (coughsixcough) years older* what's the rush, skye?
Skye: vorace is hurt!
Neon: wait, isnt vorace----
Skye: long long story! we need a med room. NOW.
Neon: *nods and goes down a hallway, with skye right on his heels*

Vorace: Dunno... body... needs to... absorb weaker... demon... get stronger... more powerful... more... *voice lowers* more vicious sometimes...

Jacob: *eyes open* wh... where am... I?

Mikenno: *looks over his shoulder at jacob* you're in a safe place, jacob. dont be afraid. *to vorace* do you have enough energy to absorb the demekarr?

Neon: *is seting up the med room* go get them i'll be done when you get back.
Skye: *nods and runs back in a flash* mikki, he's done.

Mikenno: *nods*

Vorace: *groans* maybe... need time...

Jacob: wh-what's going on??

Mikenno: we're having a bit of a situation, but you're fine.
Skye: .....do you want me to stay with him?
Mikenno: i think that would be best.
Skye: *nods*
Mikenno: *runs off to teh med room*
Skye: *walks over to jacob* well hiya there. i'm skye. *holds her hand out to help him up* welcome to Hybrid Nation. <:)

Jacob: *starts remembering things* Oh god - OH GOD!! I killed them!! I killed them all!! My students... my... my fiance... DEAD!! All DEAD!! *sobs* 'All in the name of God' my @$$...

meanwhile

Vorace: *is twitching a bit*

Skye: *sits down next to him* yeah, so i hear..... but i know you didn't mean it, jacob. and trust me, i learned the hard way.....

Mikenno: *concern starts to show in his eyes and he runs faster, dashing into the med room*
Neon: i'm ready for you. put him down.
Mikenno: *puts him down on the examination table* ....
Neon: ..wow...... i havent seen this kid in a long time.....
Mikenno: ...don't get your hopes up.......

Jacob: *just sobs as he buries his head in his arms*

Vorace: D-DEAD... L-LUMINOSIDADE... IS... DEAD... *violent twitch* *howls in pain*

Neon: ..... *shakes his head* god i'd hoped i'd get to see that kid again....
Mikenno: he needs pain medication. he swallowed another demekarr and it's trying to take over his body.
Neon: *nods* i'll see what i can do.

Skye: ....*gives him a hug*

Jacob: *sniffles* thank you, Miss...

Vorace: *is quivering and twitching madly. He has a short seizure, and tenticals rip out of his back. He howls in pain again*

Skye: skye. my name's skye. *stands up, and helps jacob up* and you're very welcome.

Neon: hang on, vorace. *pulls out a syringe* *urgently* will an anesthetic affect him negatively?

Mikenno: i dont know.

Me: WILL IT??!?!?!

Me: nope

Jacob: well, then... thank you, Skye...

meanwhile

Vorace: AAAUUUUURRRGH!! *more seizure*

Neon: okay. *carefully injects him with teh anesthetic* hopefully this will reduce the pain. there doesnt seem to be much i can do, except numb the pain.
Mikenno: ......skye. *sticks his head out of the door and hollers* SKYE!

Skye: *super hearing picks up the distant call* mikki. *to jacob* i gotta go. do you want to come along?

Jacob: I don't know... I guess...

meanwhile

Vorace: HHHNNNRRRRRGH.... RRRRGH..!! *though the pain has died down, it's still... uh... painful. The tenticals on his back flail everywhere*

Neon: WHOA! *barely avoids getting hit by a tentacle. his stripes turn a weird greenish yellow color in distress* too close....
Mikenno: *grabs one of vorace's hands (claws?)* come one vorace. i know you have great strength in you. fight it. you have defeated worse, fight it!!!

Skye: ok then! *grabs him by the wrist* hang on! *runs real fast*

Jacob: OMIGAWDTHISISREALLYFASTMAKEITSTOPAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!

meanwhile

Vorace: TRYING... NRRRFFF... D...DON'T KNOW... IF I... RRRRGH!! CAN... *drool leaks from his mouth, which means that he's stressed out, or something. His breathing becomes rougher, when finally, he snarls out, and forces a tentical back in*

Skye: .....i want to ask you if.... if you would come back to Hybrid Nation with us.

Raptor: *JAW DROP* D8>?!?!?!?
Strike: !!!!!!
Twilight: *expected it, but is still sort of surprised* !!
Lightning: *had not seen that coming* !!!!!

Mikenno: *obviously knew what was going to happen and just laughs at everyone else's expression* hahahaa!!

Skye: *tries not to laugh with mikenno* <:)

Vorace: I... I don't know...

Eclipse: *finally speaks up* y-you'll be accepted - you'll be one of us... please consider it...

Vorace: *silent* ...

Me: *waits*

Everyone: *waits for an answer*

Vorace: alright. I will join you.

Me: YAAAAYYY!

Skye: *ears perk up and a new light enters her eyes* thank you, Vorace. i promise you, you wont be treated any differently than anyone else. <:)

Strike: <:)
Lightning: well... well, why're we just standing around? lets go home.

Everyone: *follows lightning towards the door*
Raptor: *follows too*
Strike: who, whoa, whoa, WAIT. where are YOU going?
Raptor: prisoner of war, kid. you guys got me. *grins*

Eclipse: heh. *starts walking to HQ*

Vorace: *follows Eclipse*

Me: *follows both of them*

Me: followin' the leader, the leader, the leader...

Lightning: heh. come along then.

Everyone: *WALKS*

Me: HULLO HQ!

HQ: hullo.

Me: :O

Eclipse: alright. Here we are.

Vorace: I remember now... I remember this place...

Skye: *sighs* that was more than six years ago....

twilight: *enters teh code into teh back door and the door opens* everyone in ^^

Everyone: *in ^^*

Vorace: *as he walks down the halls, he gazes at the inside of the building, facinated by the technology, and shininess, and the other such things*

Eclipse: right. Now that we're home, I'll be in my room. Someone show Vorace where he'll stay, please. *marches off*

Twilight: *sighs* sometimes i wonder what happened to the old eclipse....

Mikenno: ...he has a lot on his mind right now. i think we should leave him alone for a while.

Lightning: *thinks* room 61366 is open. *looks at skye* it's his old room. maybe he might feel better.

Skye: *nods* okay. *to vorace* we need an elevator. *pauses* ...unless you wanna take the stairs....?

Vorace: It matters not to me. I am fine either way.

Me: And then... things happen.

Angel: *hides somewhere and spies*

Me: goshdangit.

Skye: *sighs* elevator it is, then. *leads vorace to the elevator* ....

Mikenno: *senses something unusual nearby and narrows his eyes. he knows it is someone he loathes, but is not sure which of the five it is* ....

Me: just so you know, the only five people he hates in the entire universe are: Ryu, Angel, Mephiles, Demonio, and Darkie. ^^ from most hated to least hated ^^ lol

Me: Wow! Darkie isn't that bad, then! <3 OH! What about Inderretta?

Vorace: *goes into the elevator* ... ... *stares blankly at the steel wall across from him as he has moved to a tight corner in the elevator. He seems upset with his reflection*

Me: right under darkie. but its not hate, it's more of a strong dislike. but if he ever goes after eclipse, again he'll add him to the list ^^

Mikenno: *is still unsettled by the presence and just leans against the wall, pinpointing it's location* ......

Elevator: DING! *passed teh first floor (note, we are headed for floor #6)*
Skye: vorace? are you okay? *notices him looking at the reflection* ......

Vorace: I don't know... I just don't like how I look... I'm so ugly and frightening compared to other demons like Mikenno...

The room of the elevator: *SKREEEEEEEEE FALLS DOWN WITH A LOUD 'CLANK!'*

Vorace: *jumps out of the way*

Angel: *drops down* DEMON SPAWN!! *unsheathes his sword, and points it at Vorace's neck, threatening to stab it*

Vorace: *snarls at Angel, and IS SUDDENLY BEHIND HIM, WHUT? DEMON SP33D!!!*

Angel: ???

Vorace: *slams him into the elevator wall*

Skye: aah!!! you!! *manages to get the elevator door open and grabs vorace* OUT!! NOW! we can't fight in that tiny space!!

Mikenno: *eyes snap open, and he realizes that one of his most hated enemies is inside* *through his teeth* angel... *turns DRAGON, freaking out a couple of people, and heads towards the big stairs, rushing up*

Me: OH DANG OH DANG OH DANG!!!!

Vorace: ... ... hmph. *runs out*

Angel: *follows them both* COWARDS!! COME FACE HELL LIKE THE SINNERS YOU ARE!!

Mikenno: *bursts out of the stairs and roars in angel's face* I'VE BEEN TO HELL AND BACK, ANGEL. TIME FOR YOU TO TRY IT YOURSELF!!! *swats angel away with one paw*

Skye: nice save there >:)

Mikenno: i've been wanting to do that for twenty-five years, kid.

Skye: let mikki deal with him, it's a bit more personal than it is for us... if he needs help, we'll help him.

Vorace: *snarls at Angel, thinks, then finally agrees by nodding his head*

Angel: *counters the swipe bye slashing his sword across Mikenno's hand* BE SILENT, FOOL! BE SILENT, AND ACCEPT YOUR FATE TO BE DAMNED WITH THE DEVIL!! NO LONGER SHALL YOU TREAD EARTH!!

Mikenno: *snarls when his paw gets cut, and carefully puts it down on the ground, leaving a spot of blood. the would slowly heals* oops. i tread earth. >:)

Skye: oh, how i love you, mikki. not that way. ^^;

Mikenno: i know ^^ *whirls around, swinging his tail at angel, aiming to knock his sword out of his hand*

Angel: *holds his sword firmly, sticking it in front of him, and letting Mikenno's tail cut itself on the sword*

Vorace: *snarls in anger*

Mikenno: *his scaly tail does not cut itslef on the sword, but it slides across the edge painfully* *snarls* goddammit, angel! *whirls around and shoots a black fireball-looking thing at angel, following it up with a slash*

Skye: calm down, vorace. we'll know when it's time.

Angel: *blocks both the fireball, and the slash, sidesteps, and slams his sword down on Mikenno's head, adding holy fire to his attack* I've been training.

Vorace: *growls*

Mikenno: *his horns literally save his neck, blocking the sword. catching him off-guard, he flips over and WHACKS angel on the side of the head* so have i. you guys can come in now >:)

Skye: *grins* thanks. *JUMPS INTO TEH FIGHT* lets go, vorace!

Angel: oof! *gets hit, and takes a step back, but does not drop his sword*

Vorace: NNNRRRAAAAARRRGH!! *spit flies everywhere as he pounces upon Angel, and rakes his claws across his face*

Angel: GAAAAHHH!! *slashes Vorace off*

Vorage: NRRGH! *now has a long gash across his body*

Skye+Mikki: VORACE!

Skye: don't you TOUCH HIM!! *spinballs into angel, driving him into a wall*

Mikenno: rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr....... *smake comes out of his nostrils, which doesnt happen often. black flames grow in his mouth*

Angel: RRGH! *slashes at Skye*

Vorace: *bends over, wincing, clutching his wound*

Wound: *heals*

Vorace: keh... *tentical-attacks Angel*

Angel: *IMPALED* guak!! *blood flies from his mouth*
