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

~Dante~

"My red or blue eye...is it a tough decision? Why keep threatening when there is no real threat of you, Rie? Hmph." I said, sarcastically laughing. I stopped and stood in front of her with my cold, heartless eyes. "Prove to me your a threat at all."

"All you think I am is a weak, little, helpless, girl. Lies!" Rie yelled, drawing back her arrow. "You hurt me when you killed him. He was the only friend I had left." Rie said in rage as she shot the arrow, it piercing Dante's shoulder. "You'll never know my pain..." she mumbled.

~Dante~

Even before she was able to say 'You'll never know my pain...' I responded as time seemingly froze, at least in my eyes. What she saw was me moving at the speed of light. "Heh, maybe not, but you'll know the pain of an arrow." I grabbed the arrow from near by shadow, it barely touchit it, it was practically just a bee sting. I turned the arrow to Rie's arm as time was still seemingly frozen to me. (Even an arrow being flipped around, it'll keep it's velocity. Almost like a ricochet.) I thought as I resumed time normally and it flew straight to the palm of Rie's hand getting stuck in it.

'Shit, just bug off Dante. Get the hell out of here...' Rie thought, yanking the arrow out of her arm, closing her eyes tightly and clenching her teeth to keep herself from screaming. 'Maybe I am weak...' she thought, managing to pry the arrow out of her hand. "Get...out of here." she said, grabbing another arrow with her good arm and barely able to shoot. She shot the arrow towards Dante's face.

~Dante~

Rather than taking my time with another mere arrow, I decided to manipulate the elements, and easily snapped the arrow in half before it reached me. I then shot a small spike of earth under Rie's good arm that now stabbed it. I sighed, "Idiots. I'm surrounded by them." I began walking away now, casting flames all around Rie that didn't burn her, but...I just wanted to remind her of the past.

"Excuse me?" Alissa asked Jinno.

 

 

 

"I found nothing, Miss," Fernado said as he collapsed as a human. V was licking her paw. "Then we'll go inside now," V replied as she locked the door with the keys and left the keys inside. She dragged Fernado into the portal, and she herself went after him.

Rie let herself drop to her knees as she looked at the fire. "Please leave now, you've taught me enough. I'm looking forward to our next fight." she said with a slight smile as she stood up and put her bow over her shoulder, and without a word trailed off, jumping through the fire, sustaining the burns and jumping from tree to tree, finding a rather large oak tree and letting herself collapse on the branch. 'Nobody will find you here Rie...' she thought.

V and Fernado were standing on a pathway. "Hey! I can't become a gecko!" Ferado protested. "You're still a kitten!" "So I broke a rule, who really cares?" V asked him. A horse came charging toward the two. V jumped away, leaving Fernado trampled. 'Oh, Fernado, you're a cute one, to think you can be as powerful as me and Dante," V laughed. "Well, I better go get the boy."

'Nobody's going to find you, your going to have to help yourself.' Rie thought after a couple of minutes of trying to catch her breath. Rie slowly sat up and swallowed hard as she reached and grabbed her bag, now unable to use her right arm, the most injured arm. She grabbed some adhesive tape to wrap her hand up with. She clumisly patched up her hand, then her arm, then her other arm. 'Your lucky you found this Rie.' she thought, laying back down on the tree branch, weakening fast. Her bag was used for a pillow and cloak was wrapped around her, her arrows close and her bow not that far. Rie closed her eyes and layed there, not moving, trying to blend in.

"You happy now I saved you?" V asked. "Yeah," Fernando sighed.

 

 

 

Alissa's Dream

 

 

"I don't want to join the evil!" Alissa screamed. "Come with me!" V shouted back.

 

Alissa's reality

 

 

"What will happen if we fail....?" Alissa began to sleep at the thought.

~Dante~

"So be it, Rie. Mice shouldn't play with their predators..." I mumbled, transforming into a raven and flying off seemingly towards the moon. It was actually almost full.

 

~Jinno~

I clenched my head and the next thing I knew Alissa and Joshua were already here. "Who...are...you two..?" I asked, glaring at Joshua, although not noticeably with the mask on. My breathing grew even heavier than it already was, almost intimidatingly.

 

~Joshua~

I looked up at Jinno, now actually a bit nervous. "I'm Joshua...Joshua Akira." I said as I looked up at him almost stuttering. "What's your name..?"

 

~Jinno~

(Joshua Akira...) I thought to myself. My cybernetic eye saved an image of Joshua quickly and titled it as Joshua Akira. If it were to escape my mind as usual, it would be forever kept on my datascape. "Joshua...: I mumbled. "My name...is unknown to me. I don't know who...I...am..."

-Memory-

"Rie, why are you leaving us?" her little sister asked. Rie looked down at her. "I need to stop this somehow. And plus I was asked to." Rie said, holding up a letter. "Rie, please don't get killed. Ever since your friend died, Luke." Her sister said. Rie came in eye level with her smaller sister. "Don't say his name Scarlet. Its best if you don't, okay?" Rie asked, hugging her sister. "Okay Rie. But don't get killed." Scarlet said. "It's a promise. Go and help mother now." Rie said, standing up. Scarlet nodded and ran off.

 

-Reality-

"Scarlet...occupation: little sister. Luke...occupation...bestfriend." Rie managed as she stared at her bracelet. 'Don't push yourself you idiot, you knew not to fight him...' Rie thought, closing her eyes again.

"I'm sorry, but you cannot pass," a guard said. "And why not?" V demanded, unsheathing her claws. "Okay! You may pass!" The guard cried. "Wuss," V whispered into the guard's ear. "Where do you think the 1st secret is?" Fernado asked. "In the library probably," V told him.

"I'm sorry, but you cannot pass," a guard said. "And why not?" V demanded, unsheathing her claws. "Okay! You may pass!" The guard cried. "Wuss," V whispered into the guard's ear. "Where do you think the 1st secret is?" Fernado asked. "In the library probably," V told him.

"That's a big problem........" Alissa mumbled. She shifted her gaze to Joshua. "What should we do?" she asked.

rekichi sighed and ran at vivaldi slashin gonce he was about an inch from her." you took to long to attack vivaldi if you keep acting lime that you won't have a chance and you'll be stuck with me forever until one of dies or is capturded" he said grinning more.rekichi turnwed into a bat and held his sword with left foot while holding a smoke bomb with his right.he droped the bomb infrotn of vivaldi and droped the sword making it slash her spine alittle.

"I've found a book about hidden secrets!" Ferando exclaimed. "That's too obvious......" V said. "We need an innocent looking book....." "Wouldn't that be too obvious too, so it's really in the hidden secrets book?" Fernado fought back. V picked a book off the shelf with her mouth. The title was old Ma's recipes. "A cook book? That's the least obvious place to look......" V thought aloud. "Let's see if it's..........AHA!" "Aha, what?" Fernado asked tripping behind V, without her knowing, although she might have ignored. "A slip of paper says: If thou wish to have mega muscles, then say Olde several ways. It doesn't rhyme? That's lame. Owld, Ohld, Ald, Ood, Oldie, Oldy, Olday. It should work. I need a test subject...." "NOT ME!" Fernado spoke up. "Oh relax! I won't break your delicate bones!"

(sorry i was gone for the weekend anything interesting happen beside rekichi attacking?)

 

"Hmph"Vivaldi dodged in time and swiveled around to face Rekichi,"It's a no go. Why do such a pointless fight? Go fight someone else if you're that desperate!" Vivaldi threw a blade at him, aiming for his weapon arm.

(Rie and Dante got in a fight and Dante managed to disable one of Rie's arms and then ran off, so Rie's somewhere in the dense woods on a tree branch. Is that interesting? :-D )

rekichi turned around so it hit his other arm." ouch some one needs to calm down i was just fighting like a normal person does i mean god what the firetruck are you trying to kill me" he yelled facing her again.he held the blade if his in his hurt hand and went to grap vivaldi's hair to actually start up a fight with her.tansom woke up slightly and got up covered in spiders which made him scream." get off" he yelled rolling around ina attempt to get the spiders off if him.

(Yes, very )

 

Vivaldi bent down to grab her blade and turned back around to face him. Due to her short hair, Vivaldi only had to move slightly for him to miss grabbing her hair. "Oh? What are you, a lame teenage girl? Only they start fights like that." With that, Vivaldi put one blade away and punched Rekichi in the face,"I think that's a better way to start"

rekichi grabe dhis nose before kicking vivaldi in the stoumack." what the hell is a teenage girl" he asked literally not knowing what one of those were.he laughed alittle be before shrugging it off.he punched at her before going for her hair again.tansom finally getting all the spiders ran off screaming like a wuss as most of the spiders chased him.

"Oof" Vivaldi stepped back a few steps after the blow and couldn't help but chuckle at his question once she stood up straight again,"Something like me, only im not lame, unlike you" She sidestepped his attack and elbowed his neck, kicking his feet to make him fall forward,"Stopping trying to grab my hair would you?"

 

Grey huffed as he walked along the trail he was on, only to sniff out more new scents not far off from where he was walking. At the sound of quick movement, Grey began to pick up his pace, noticing that it sounded like a fight.

rekichi fell almost scraping his head on a tree but missing by centimeter." what your teenager i thought only boys were teenagers" he said.it was what he knew having no other girls near him all his lie but his mom and she was 31.

V tried to pick up a book shelf, but she got nowhere. "This junk must be too old!" she screamed. She smacked her paw against the shelf, and it was pushed two feet back, not exactly impressive. "That's what was missing....a simple repeat of the modern spelling of Olde....." Fernado pushed himself up. "Wow! That's cool!" he exclaimed. "It's a start. Let's bring the not-so-rhyming slip to Eerie Mount," V said. She picked the paper up with her mouth and climbed out a window with extreme agility. Fernado ran out the front door, without putting the Cook Book back. "I hope she knows what she's doing and that she has a back-up plan."

An angry mark appeared on Vivaldi's head as she marched towards Rekichi. She reached down and slammed his head on the ground,"Idiot." She removed her hand from the back of his head and replaced it by putting her heel to his neck, slowly putting pressure. "That is the stupidest thing I have ever heard. Are you going to leave me alone now?"

 

Grey soon arrived at a clearing catching the end of Vivaldi's sentence,"...leave me alone now?" Slowing his pace, he spotted two figures a boy about thirteen and an oddly familiar looking girl about sixteen. He tilted his head to the side curiously as he watched them fight, wondering if he should intervene.
