Alissa Mays pouted, lost in thought. This'll never work. She thought. "Maybe if I......." She trailed off. "it's hopeless."

"Sacrifice, Sacrifice, Sacrifice. Im ready, come and steal me." Rie sighed, still sharping her arrow.

Fernando aimed the bar towards the sky, and it unleashed blue power. It was like lightning. "Stupid.....Vivina.........." he grumbled.

~Joshua~

"Sorry Fernando, I'll be back! Use this if you can!" I threw one of my plasma daggers to Fernando. "Be careful, it hurts like lightning if you use or hold it wrong!" I yelled and ran as I used my other plasma dagger to open the crack just a tad more. I easily fit through, even without being in my dog form. "Well thank goodness I'm so...sm-small..." I cringed saying that sentence but ran over to Alissa and shocked Vivina slightly with the plasma blade. If I used it too much like an actual dagger I'd kill someone on accident.

Vivina cried in pain. "What's wrong with you, taser boy?" she shouted, keeping Alissa in place. "Hooray, Joshua!" Alissa exclaimed.

 

 

 

 

"Okay........." Fernanod caught the dagger with his free hand.

~Joshua~

"Oh s-sorry Vivina, I really won't kill you or anyone, so it'll probably just be like tasing." I stuttered as I shocked Vivina again and pulled Alissa away.

Alissa began to run out of  the tiny room, leaving her sister.

 

 

 

Vivina laid on the floor, angry, after sustaining that more powerful shock. Fernando came down. "Uh, hey. Ex slash former miss," He stammered. Vivina didn't look at  him, and raised a paw. Fernando nudged closer, when Vivina bolted at him, slamming him into the wall and he hit the floor. "Never. Ever. Come near me again!" she muttered in his ear. She padded toward a dummy who looked exactly like........ She cleared her throat, and made him face her. She sliced the dummy in half, and bashed the head into the wall, barely missing him. "Or you'll regret it," she finished. "Okay, okay. I can take a hint!" Fernando stared at the bar on his arm, and hurried to escape. "Boys. What can you do? Kill them," Vivina curled up to have a short nap, hoping something will pop into her mind.

~Joshua~

I watched as Alissa left, then stabbed my plasma blades into the ground, and sat in front of Vivina. "Maybe this is natural," I began to figuratively explain, "I may only be eleven, but I guess being a dog and a cat its just going to be you after the bird and me after you. Not going to turn out any different anytime soon, Vivina." I said with a sigh. "You know everyone has talents, right? Alissa may beat you in a few things and I'm sure you can beat her in other things, whether used for competition or not. You sure seem to be a better planner than jer..."

"Hold it. What did you just say? I already know I can beat her at fighting...............and, from before, I remember when I could catch things better, and run faster.......In fact, I just might continue to inherit those skills..." Vivina walked slightly closer towards Joshua. "I'll have to pay you. Possibly as a hench-man, perhaps? Maybe a helper?" she offered. "Or what-say to a few bucks in trade for Alissa? If not, bring her here and I just may leave you alone. Or even spare your life? You know, if something were to over power you.....such as......a raven? Or maybe something else. I'm not sure."

~Joshua~

I backed up a step or two, "No no no, I don't need anything. I can bring Alissa here, but I'd have to stay and protect her." I stated, wondering who this raven was that Vivina mentioned.

"Well, you'll figure in good time." Vivina walked away, giving Joshua a final icy stare.

 

 

Alissa sat underneath a Dense Wood tree. "Okay..........so I just escaped by my half-sister from Joshua......."  Alissa reviewed. "Or the other way around?"

~Jinno~

I probably startled Alissa, but I appeared on a tree above and in front of her. "Where's Joshua, Alissa?" I asked.

 

~Joshua~

"Why the confidence, Vivina? Will this raven help you like Fernando?" I asked sarcastically. "Oh, Fernando!" I exclaimed. "I wonder if he broke free yet..." I said to myself, turning into a smaller puppy and lying down in front of Vivina. I only stayed to make sure she wouldn't go out and seek Alissa again without my consent.

"You again? I'm not sure, although he may be back in Eerie Mount." Alissa sighed.

 

 

 

"I'm not confident, to tell you. And---" Vivina was cut off as Fernando came down. "Hello!" he exclaimed. Vivina covered her ears with her front paws. "I warned you, Fernando!" she muttered. "I'm warning you both..........perhaps,, or maybe I'm not!" Vivina continued. "You may be even torturing yourself at this point."

~Jinno~

"Still there? That damn Vivina." I scoffed. "Bye Alissa, I think your name was, I'm going..." I said as I glided out.

 

~Joshua~

"Oh there you are Fernando..!" I said as I looked at Vivina boringly, "Still threatening us? It's getting old, Vivina...you didn't win."

"Actually, you're getting old. Is all you can think of is follow me? Really? There are several other dangerous things. Ever thought a tsunami, flood, or earthquake spree? Yeah.......your magic won't protect you from those natural disasters," Vivina said. "Just go figure out a plan or something. Wouldn't a well-thought-out plan be better than rushing into battle? C'mon. Surely you'd figure that out! Even baby could plan when and what to cry for!" she teased. "Back off Joshua!" Fernando spoke up. "What are you going to do? Trap me in an ice container?" Vivina suggested.

~Joshua~

"I wouldn't go trying to provoke me Vivina. Predictable or not you can't overpower me. Plan or no plan, I still have you away from Alissa. Teasing won't do anything, you haven't grown up since you lost whatever you did to Alissa. Still a stubborn child who makes a fit when they don't win or get what they want." I said. "Trapping you in ice doesn't sound half-bad; It'll shut you up. But I'm sure I won't do anything to risk anyone's life in true danger, even as my enemy I don't want you to be in a life or death situation."

"Hey! Dante are you listing to me you creep! Are you even close to ready. Im ready, 'sacrifice' me at will." Rie yelled, putting her arrow up, standing up carefully and walking the branches

~Dante~

"Ugh Rie, you annoying brat. I'll sacrifice your damn self when I want to. I have to wait for the other two after all." I said to Rie.

"Thanks, I can handle just about everything on my own. I still think you'd make a great side-kick. Much better than Fernando......" Vivina looked at Fernando. "Hey!" he shouted. Vivina began shuffling towards a chest. "And, I wouldn't possibly think of grabbing a smoke bomb out!" she quickly replied as she pulled a smoke bomb out. She aimed it at Fernando and Joshua's feet, although clearly aimed more at Fernando. The smog filled the small black room. Fernando squeezed his eyes closed. Vivina dashed through the crack, Fernando chasing after her. "I'll.....We'll get you for this, rascal!" Fernando stammered. By the time his stomach ached, Vivina was into Dense Forest and crawled into a tree. Watching Fernando trip on his way past, she saw Alissa relaxing. She pounced at her, and Alissa rolled out of the way. "Leave me alone!" Alissa exclaimed. She jumped up and hid behind a tree. Vivina stalked towards Alissa. Alissa, sensing trouble, she began to step away.

~Joshua~

I coughed for a few seconda and ran out the small area, looking for Vivina.

 

~Jinno~

"Far enough for you." I said as I pinned down Vivina to the floor. "Don't hurt Alissa. Don't hurt Fernando. And don't...ever hurt my...son." I said as I put all my steel weight down to keep pinning her down. "Unlike him though, I WILL kill."

"Bah! Get your huge nature-wrecking butt out of here!" Vivina shot back. "Don't make me put another bomb on you, rusty scrap person!" "Vivina! Don't be mean! And Jinno, please don't hurt her. She's my sister. I'd rather die, than see you kill her. Find a way to keep her paralyzed long enough, please," Alissa pleaded. "Are you finally getting used to the side of evil, yet?" Vivina asked her sister. "NO!" "Are you sure?"

 

 

 

Fernando noticed Joshua wasn't with him, so he hurried back. "Josh. Joshua, she's in Dense Wood," he said.

(Take note, since Christmas is up, I shall not be on most of the time, just in small times everyday. )

~Jinno~

"She's not going anywhere unless she decides to put a bomb on me. If that happens, we're BOTH going down!"I exclaimed as my mask was finally overwhelmed with all its damage and broke off completely. My burned face...my cybernetic eye and my regular eye...the machine that let me breathe...it was all exposed. Either way I continued keeping Vivina in my grasp. "How many times would I have to say it? My son is not a tool you can use for your own personal gain. Alissa and Fernando are not yojr ragdolls either."

 

~Dante~

"Damn, look at 'em go." I said to myself, watching Jinno strangle Vivina again. "Looks like the kid's doing pretty good too. I wonder what Rie's deciding to do as well." I said to myself wondering if there's any action I should do for now.

 

~Joshua~

"Okay thanks! Well actually come on Fernando! Sorry it might be a bit quick. Don't vomit on me!" I warned as I grabbed Fernando with wind and quickly dragged him along for the...literally 'magical' ride to Alissa and Vivina.

"Well, could you put her in a very enclosed area only you can enter?" Alissa asked. "I'll keep watch." Vivina growled with rage. "YOU'RE ALL GOING DOWN SOMEDAY!" "Yeah right, sis!" Alissa said.

 

 

"Hey Alissa!" Fernando shouted.

~Jinno~

"Vivina! Shut up or I'll rip out those lungs for you! I can't feel someone in pain with a steel hand anyways." I threatened. "There's nowhere to put her but in my grasp, Alissa. I won't kill her but if she deserves immense pain then I'll deliver."

 

~Joshua~

I pulled Fernando with the wind and stopped suddenly in front of Alissa and the others. Dizzy and nauseous I slowly sat and lied down. "Hold on...I need like...a minute. Maybe five..."

Rie stopped at another tree where she could see the mountains. "Hey...Dante...I have a question." Rie said outloud, it's not like anyone would have heard her.
