She heard what he called her and tried to ignore it. But she couldn't. As she walked away, she felt the rain pound harder on her. Thunder rolled, and she looked up at the sky, furious at Rasi and Will and herself. Furious that she was crying. She wasn't crying about them. She couldn't be. But then her scowl broke into a pained frown, and she gripped her upper arms tightly. Eyes sqeezed tight, she turned her head toward the sky and let a scream of agony and anger ripple from her throat as lightning flashed. When the scream died, her knees buckled and she fell in a heap on the ground. ------------------------------------ Green eyes flashed toward the orange ones that looked at her angrily. Daani scowled. "Tahtrei?" she wondered aloud, the growl in her voice unmistakeable. The last time they had met, Daani had held the machine gun and Trei was the prey with unexperienced powers. This time she was unarmed, and the Xweetok stalking before her was bigger, taller, and looked much more powerful. But Daani stood her ground as Trei approached and stopped three meters away. "Daani." "Tahtrei." "It's been a while. Where's your witch-hunting equipment?" |

Lue spun around, "Yeah..." He said and then saw Cera behind the ruki, "Ummm, 'cuse me." He said and ran past the 'stranger' to the bori. "Cera we have to get out of here... Somethings going wrong." He said grabbing her shoulders and making her look him in the eye.
Cera's eyes grew wide, "No I can't Ara needs me... Please, I catch up with you later..." She said slipping out of his grip and running inside. "Ara!" She yelled, seeing the distressed xweetok at the table and sitting next to her. "What's wrong?" She asked putting and arm around her shoulders to comfort her.
Lue sighed and walked in, following Cera to the table right across from the one they were previously sitting at. He waited till she was done talking and tapped her shoulder. "Cera people are dieing... We NEED to get out of here!" He said pointing out the window at the bodies that where now being looked at by police.
Cera squinted to see what was going on through the rain, "Fine stay here, but I'm not leaving..." She said and turned back to her friend.
Lue sighed out a cloud of smoke and rested his head in his hands, looking out the window in hopes to seeing Rasi.
--------------------------------
Rasi nodded, "Yeah back at Terror mountain..." He said, his voice sour. He looked up when he heard a scream, seeing it was Vi he ignored it. She deserves any agony that she is feeling right now... he thought and turned his attention back go Gorrio, "Yeah she can control water..." He answered.

Arathyne looked up when Cera came in. She quickly hugged her best friend. "Cera! Thank God you're okay!" She let go of her and looked at Lue fearfully. "What do you mean, people are dying?" She looked back outside, afraid. "Y-You mean there's more than just those two?" Her heart was suddenly gripped by fear, fear for Lucy's and even Roni's and Trei's safety. When she found herself afraid for Vi's life, she knew something was wrong with her. ------------------------------------ Zcy noticed the lightning and she heard the scream. She shivered. With the shiver came another lightning bolt, this one bright blue, that lit up the entire sky. Frightened, she looked at the road. A tiny lightning bolt flew from her fingers and a spot on the road exploded, leaving a fifty centimeter in diameter, two inches deep hole in the asphalt. She held up her arms to protect herself against the flying chunks of asphalt. |

Phyn watched him run back inside, and followed behind. At first she stood there, trying to fathom his reaction. He probably doesn't remember me, she thought as she slipped inside. But then.... she figured it out, watching him with Cera. A frown crossed her face. The stupid mutation! She shook her head walking over.
"Look, I know this is a bad time, but you are Lue, right?" she asked the lupe, standing over the table.

((she had been painted so he doesn't really recognize her k?))
Lue looked up at the ruki that had stopped him earlier, "Yeah." he said surprised that she knew his name, "Can I help you?" He asked wondering why she was here in the first place. She looked familiar though, her face maybe...?

((Yeah, I know. I couldn't help it ^^))
"Maybe. I think I've met you before, quite a few years back, in Meridell. You probably wouldn't recognize me now, I beleive i was yellow then." All this she stated, trying to jog his memory. She knew she was hoping. 8 years was quite a bit of time, but it was worth a shot. She brushed some of her wet hair from her eyes.
"My name's Phyn." she finished, her antennae perked hopefully.

Daani smirked. "I haven't got it with me, lucky for you," she said bitterly.
"Is that so?" Trei scowled. "I believe the last words I heard come out of your mouth was your forseeing my eventual doom, am I correct?"
"Very," Daani snarled. "And my premonitions always come true. I am, after all, an Oracle. Or at least I was then."
"Oh, no, big scary Oracle's going to slay me, the demon," Trei said mockingly. "Give it a rest, all right? It ends here. I'm going to kill you and then I'm going to hunt down your successor and then your precious race can die off."
"Ah, ah, ah, don't be so rash there," Daani warned with a wag of her finger. "You wouldn't want the future to completely collapse, would you?"
"Screw the future! Everybody's doomed anyway, what's wrong with an earlier sentence?"
Daani laughed. "You sound just like your murderous sister, Arathyne. Where is the beast, anyway?" she added, looking around.
"Lay a hand on Arathyne and you will see the end of your days."
"Oho, is that a threat? I didn't know you two were so close! Then again, being the demons that you are, I would expect nothing less."

Will could hear her scream. "Vi," he said. He knew he was a hopeless idiot in a hopeless love, and yet he still stood up and ran after her. He kneeled beside her, put a hand on her back, and asked stupidly, "Are you okay?" No she's not you moron, he thought, why else did she scream?

Niko had been sitting in a restaurant, mutually ignoring absolutely everything going around outside. Now he just sat there, still. It had been two hours. His head was filled with thoughts. He had seen Will. He was here, no? Remembering Will reminded him of those days, stranded and alone, first on an iceberg with Will, then shortly afterwards with him again, as well as that amazingly talented pirate and that beautiful, vicious faerie he knew and was ashamed to admit he had fallen in love with... He sighed, looking out at the streets through the sheets of rain pouring against the window. What were the odds he’d ever see her again? And how was it that he’d fallen for a wussy faerie, and not that badass pirate sister of hers? He knew the answer right away: while Vinetaa was definitely badass to the core, she was still pretty readable. Her faerie sister, on the other hand, had no weaknesses that were visible, and quite frankly, he was anxious to know them. He wanted to know her inside and out. Her puzzling demeanor wasn’t the only thing that attracted him to her, of course. She was also maliciously beautiful, inhumanly so. She had not spent a moment on her looks at all those days he’d spent with her, and yet she continued to exist with a radiant beauty that was just impossible to not notice. While Vi was stunning in her own looks, she could never even compare to the extravagant and dangerous beauty that her sister was. She was also not very mysterious at all. He’d figured her out within the first few days he’d known her. But he still knew very little about her sister, even though they’d spent nearly two months on that ruddy island. “Arathyne,” he mumbled under his breath. The very name made him shiver with delight. He loved her. He wanted to meet her again. He wanted to delve into that mysterious shell of hers and crack it, have all her secrets revealed to him and him alone. But still. It would be a challenge. After all, if the display she’d shown on the island was anything to take into consideration, Arathyne hated pirates with a burning passion, and that passion was not about to die down any time soon, if ever. But he wanted her to love him so bad. Playing hard to get was one way to look at it, but she hated him. She despised him with every fiber of her being. And not just him: she hated Vi—her own sister—in the same way. “You pirates are all the same,” she’d said. “She is no sister of mine, and you have no right to talk to me.”It almost made him laugh, in a sad, defeated sort of way. He wouldn’t give up so easily, but she seemed… almost happy to get away from him. And though he wanted her more than any treasure in Neopia, he knew he would leave her alone forever so long as she was happy about it. Her happiness, in the end, was all he could ask for, and he knew it. He knew it very, very well. (heehee my grammar improved just for this  thanks hayley) |

Lue thought for a moment and smiled, remembering a small yellow ruki with a camera following his around. "Phyn!" He said nodding, "Of course I remember you, how have you been? Do you still take pictures?" He asked amazed that he was seeing her after, what, eight years. He laughed slightly, it seemed like everyone was catching up on past relationships today ((xDDDDD))
--------------------
Cera nodded, "Well there was of course that police officer and recently there were two others, they were killed after you left." She said and looked outside where more flashing lights started gathering. "What's wrong with you? Where are your sisters?" She asked remembering Ara's family that she had been introduced to two times over.

She gave a sheepish smile. It was nice to find a friend who wasn't treating her with contempt cause of her mutation.
"I've been pretty well. And yeah, I'm still doing art." she gestured toward her bag, which she had dropped by the table earlier ((which I forgot about XD)). "but my camera was shattered, which is what all this plastic is, if you were wondering." she shook her head, still not quite believing he had remembered her.
"And how've you been? Still traveling?" she asked, knowing that soon they'd have to get out of they're memories and deal with the chaos at hand.

Lue shook his head, "Na, I have found a couple of weirdos that I hang out with." He gestured toward Cera. "How about you?" He asked more memories of her coming back to him. She had grown up so much and changed, she wasn't yellow like she once was but he disregarded that.

The four had elected to split up to search for the others. Nerrone and Checkr headed for the "square" of the market, talking quietly among themselves, while Umber and Drift scanned the outlying shops.
Suddenly Umber's hands lit up with flame, and she was so startled she dropped the umbrella- it landed in a puddle with a splash. Her face was filled with uncharacteristic surprise and astonishment. The fire was not effected by the rain in the slightest bit.
"Umber!" Drift snarled, "Don't do that in public..!"
"I'm not stupid!" she snapped back at him, "I can't help it!" Her face now gained a look of furious concentration as she attempted to control her power- the flames merely twined up around her body, and set a nearby hanging plant on fire, before dissapearing, leaving the lupe shocked.
It's got to be a fluke..., she thought, looking at her hands with hatred,I'm disciplined now... I only lose control when I'm angry.. Without waiting for her brother, the lupe furiously marched into the nearest shop, to get out of the rain, noticing several odd pets - pink bori, mutant ruki, shadow lupe... thing... Ignoring them all she flopped down at a table and began wringing her hair out.
=========
As Vixcy left the store, the green gem on her neck suddenly began pulsing with a bright glow. "Stop it." she muttered, clasping a fist over it. The others trailed behind her, Vann winking and blowing a kiss at the girl he had been talking to.
"Come on guys.. We have to find Checkr and the others.." Vixcy said, before suddenly noticing an enourmous crowd of people gathered on the street, along with a pair of cop cars... crime scene tape...

"I'm still on Mystery Island. I have an art studia there," she replied, glancing at outside. Things only seemed to be getting worse. She sighed, slipping out of her old self and back to the present. She turned to Cera and Ara, figuring she still should be helping the xweetok.
"Ara was it, what does this Lucy look like, I'll go try and find her for you," she said, brushing more of her wet hari from her eyes. She was dripping wet, but knowing she'd have to go back outside she didn't attempt to rid herself of the water.
