The Junkyōsha Party



The Junkyōsha Party is a Huma-Mytho collaboration organization/shelter. They house humans who have all but feel abandoned and have lost their place in the world and also house Myths who only want to reach Fantasy or try to escape from human oppression. The organization is resourceful due to the collaboration of humans and myths teamwork. They also specialize covert ops and recon to take down political groups and gangs who threaten the safety and health of myths and humans.

History
No one knows the exact time for when the organization was founded, but it was estimated the have been founded after the war. The founder of the organization is unknown.

Welcome to The Party!
Reveryn: *takes Kado to the building he was resting upon at one point* Ok, this is where we enter. I'm gonna have to introduce you to my boss and such and there will also be humans and myths togehter, so if your not used to seeing humans than....try to control that.

"I'm not bothered by humans. I'm not one of those human-hater Mythos. I am a bit more of a personal hate sort of person."

Reveryn: Ok then. *goes through a small, but large enough crack leading the super computers* This way please. Look around you to make sure now one is around.

Kado nods silently. "Understood." He follows Reveryn.

Reveryn: *walks through the door out the computer room and into a bricks hall with poor and sick people being taken care of by myths. Above them are gated floors.*

Kado silently observes the place. "A lot of rather downtrodden people. ....Reminds me a bit of home, probably not in a great way..."

Reveryn: we house those who are sick and poor and those who struggle to keep up with their lives or have no life at all. *makes it down the hallway and there lies a dystopian village across from them is sewage water. Crosses the dock and gets into the boat* Come on in.

He gets in. "Sewers huh? Well it's a noble cause, even if the conditions are poor."

Reveryn: The world isn't really that fond of us. Some former political groups hang around here too. *begins to row* We can't be that open, even if it is a Party. *smiles* "I see. Surprised to know there's another organization besides my former one that gives a damn about others."

Reveryn: Here in this world, not many people do. That's why most of them are outcasts or look-overs. And when they come here they have something in common that brings them to a family. *docks on the otherside*

"I've noticed."

Both get off

Reveryn: *walks over to a hut* Tht there is The Hut of The Slums. Only place here that you will get food. If you live in this part of the area.

"I see. Original name. I believe fairly direct names is the way of things, seems to be a fairly common theme. Your boss doesn't even like nicknames."

Reveryn: Well, those people have.

"I see the point. Where's your boss at?"

Reveryn: Almost there. Hold up. *goes into the hut* What's good, suckers?

Everyone greets Reverynand some look at Kado and wonder who he is

Cook: What's good, Reveryn?

Reveryn: Not much.

Cook: Who's the hunky lookin' dude?

Reveryn: Save this dude from the Mythzonian.

Everyone stares at him in awe

Cook: you know that part is....well...you know....prohibited?

Reveryn: Yea.....I know....

Cook: So...you do know what Big O is gonna do to ya, right?

Reveryn: *swallows* I'll stomach it. *smiles and walks by*

Kado blinks in faint surprise, then follows Reveryn. "....You're going to be in trouble for that?"

Reveryn: *slouches over* Sadly, yes...

"I owe you one at least. Thanks for the help." He puts a hand on Reveryn's shoulder.

Reveryn: Hey man, no thanks needed. We're all brothers here. *sees a guys leaning against the doorway* What's good, Segura?

Segura: Bored right now. Wish there was a good mission right now. The smell of The Slums it getting to my head.

Reveryn: *shrugs* You gotta stomach the smell, man. Hey Avo, this Cloud Strife lookin' motherfucker is Segura.

Segura: Really? You just had to call me a motherfucker?

Reveryn: Yea. It sounded hilarious.

Kado sighs. "Avo was only funny the first time. ....Though I admit it would make a good name. On guard duty, Segura?"

Segura: Nah, just chillin right now. No good missions have come up and I don't feel like going to the Roundhouse Club neither.

Reveryn: I might go down there later on.

Segura: If Dad doesn't cut ya' down first.

Reveryn: Yea...right...well it shouldn't be that bad, right?

Segura: *scratches the back of his head and looks away*

Reveryn: Damn...Ok then, well let's get goin'. Good seein' ya', Segura.

Segura: Whatever happened to Cloud Strife?

Reveryn: You just look like a Segura to me.

Segura: That guy, I swear.

"I wonder how you guys haven't managed to drive each other insane yet..."

Reveryn: We have each other. That's how we keep sane. The boss lives deep down within the basement levels where the power is. We gotta walk down some steps and hallways though. *walks across some bridges and allies until they make it to the door*

''They travel down numerous levels of the basement. Until the reach a door with a girl standing in front of it. The girl has short shady blue hair and stern blue eyes with black leather-looking spandex, wheres white-top gloves and has angel wing tattoos on both her shoulders and arms.''

Reveryn: What's good, Torem?

Torem: Doing what I do best: Guarding the damn door.

Reveryn: Is Dad in there?

Torem: I don't know. I'm not in the room with him, am I?

Reveryn: No, no you're not.

Torem: *looks at Kado* Who's this guy?

Reveryn: A dude I saved.

Torem: From what?

Reveryn: Ummmmm.....The Mythzonian...

Torem:.....Oh man, Rev. Dad is gonna tear you up for that.

Reveryn: I had too, Torry. Exima was gonna kill him and some other dude. I mean I couldn't have that.

Torem: But I still don't even know why you were all the way out there.

Reveryn: Saw a suspicious dude with an oni mask put a body unto his four wheeler. I assumed it was a myth. So I followed. He knew I was unto him and an epic fight ensued, which ended up with me being stranded in the desert.

Torem: Well Im just....glad your alright.....for the time being

Reveryn: Atleast it was worth it. Had some fun.

Torem: But you could have killed yourself!

Reveryn: Every martyr dies in the end, Torem. Whether I put myself in that position or not, I die for my brothers.

"Someone deep fry my brain now.... ....oni mask huh? I remember a guy in a red one knocked me out.... hmmm. Doubtless it wasn't a coincidence."

Reveryn: *shrugs* Mmmhmmm. So can we see the boss?

Torem: *steps out of the way and there is a sign that says 'Step in at your own time, at your own risk. HAHAHAHAHA!!!*

Reveryn: Remember what I told you. Tell him your real name. And when ever he mocks you about anything, just say ok, do not mumble under you breath and if he make you uncomfortable or pokes you irritably, do not retaliate. Keep your cool and whenever he is having one of his...moemnts. Do not look at him crazy. Got it?

Kado nods. "Alright. I've dealt with plenty of odd ones before. .....like Noriko."

Reveryn: Ok then. Whenever your ready. Good miracles.

"I've been ready.... let's go."

Reveryn: Sorry. I can't go in. Just you, man.

Kado sighs. "Oooooh boy. Just me and crazy man. This'll be awesome." He starts walking in cautiously.

''Inside it is almost completely dark. There is only a single hole of light beam down into the room. He sees numerous posters on the walls as well as wall paintings and their is a huge withered looking tree coming out from the bottom of the floor.''

"Who goes there? Is it someone new?

"...Yeah. I guess you could say that." His eyes glow faintly in the dark, his pupils growing white to allow him to see clearer, and he proceeds to look about the room scanning for the owner of the voice.

"I'm told you're the boss of this operation, 'The Party', the guy named Reveryn told me to speak to you."

A shadow passes by Kado

"I'm sure he has. Why do you come here per-say?"

"Well I'm here cause he brought me here after I had a rather... dicey situation with some humans a while back. I went and followed him cause I really don't have much of a place of my own anyway." His eyes try to track where the shadow is going.

"Where di he find you? No one just knows where The Party is."

"....I don't know where exactly. ....An arena, that's all I know. I don't know how long I was there."

''In a split second a man is up in his face with a small Faberware knife pointing at him. The man looks vaguely like Exima, only his skin is a grayish brown and has more detail in his face. He is shirtless and has torn pants that look like torn shorts. He has numerous scars and wounds all over his abdominal and stomach area.''

"He did...*grabs Kado's face and pulls it closer to his* WHAAAAAT!!!!"

Kado is surprised enough to pale slightly. "......Don't kill me?" He almost squeaks. ".....it's as I said..." He says in a more nervous voice.

" That son of a bitch! *pushes Kado to the floor and and turns to think* Wait...but he's my son...but I'm not a bitch...Whichever, i ain't his biological daddy, but I'm gonna kill 'em! Gonna hack his body off until he begs for me to kill 'em! Where's my ax? *looks over the place* Wait just one moment. *moves everywhere in amazing speed and agility, like that of a monkey. He finds a plane ax* Ahhhhh. Here it is. *feels the rim of the blade* Ohhhhhh, he's in for it now. *looks back at Kado and speaks in a gentlemanly voice* Can I help you?

"....I have no idea. I think my brain just self destructed." He glances at the axe, then back at the man. "....Would you mind if I joined you? Don't really have anything else nowadays. ....And please tell me you aren't going to hit me with that?"

"Hm?" *looks at the axe* Oh this ain't for you. It's for that douchebag elf out there for disobeying me and doing whatever the hell he wants! I KNOW YOU CAN HEAR ME! YOU'RE A DEAD MOTHER FUCKER, YOU HEAR ME?! SO DEAD, ONCE YOU'RE DEAD, IMMA SELL YOUR BODY AT PRODUCE MARKET! YOU BETTER NOT RUN AWAY NEITHER! I DIDN'T RAISE NO PUSSIES! I RAISED SOME MARTYRS, SO YOU GONNA BE PUNISHED LIKE ONE! *turns back to Kado* So what's your specialty?

He controls his reaction this time. "First off," He changes to his usual form. "I am a shapeshifter, and I'd rather keep my name as not disclosed. I'd rather keep my true existence secret. I'm not the most popular guy on the streets, I'm hoping to put my past behind me. Start over. I don't want to risk people finding out about me and ruining that. As for skills, I have many, ranging from high class all out attacks to subtlty such as thievery, espionage and assassination. I was raised as a ninja and taught heavily martial arts and swordplay."

" Uh huh. That acutally sounds good. So it looks like you wanna be apart of the Frontliners. Sounds like your one of the guys we need. That's a good."

"Ok then. If you promise to keep my name secret, I have no problems working for you, whatever you need, as long as it doesn't stray too far from.... basic morality. I ain't gonna butcher a child for instance. But I can delve into some dirty work if it really needs done."

"Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa.....whoa. No secrets here sadly. Here we're family, but unlike every other douchebag family, we don't keep secrets down here, well atleast from the father of the household."

"Reveyn knows my name already. If someone finds out, they find out. I just rather would not have it as common knowledge. ....It would be bad if one of my enemies learned I'm here. .....Really, really, really bad."

"Oh..I'm good with keeping secrets...almost as good as I am with persuasion. *bats his hand with the ax*

"My name is Kado, and well, I've had a rather eventful life and lately it's completely dumped me at an all time low point."

"Man dude, who hasn't had that happen to them? Glad we can have you, but since your new, I'll have to have a close eye on you...*is all up in Kado's face, eyeballing him and begins to circle around him*

"I understand. I won't be a problem. Just as long as I can be of help."

"Sure thing. I'll have....anyone but Reveryn introduce the the theme to you. So...you know.. you can go. And tell Rev that Dad would like to talk to 'em...*displays a very menacing facial expression*

"I understand." He changes back to his disguise. "Thank you for having me aboard. I won't disappoint." He briefly bows his head, before beginning to walk out.

"Bye! Come again!" *waves*

He pauses. "Kinda late to ask, but I have a friend who I promised a person very close to me that I'd protect her from any more of the fighting I've had to go through. May I ask that she live here, or if you'd rather put her to use, she would be willing, but she is a bit too kind hearted for battle. ...She shouldn't have had to have been a warrior in the first place. I can bring her here right now if you'd like to meet her first."

"First things first, send the boy in here and I'll think about it, while I hack him." *smiles*

"Very well. Go a bit easy on him will you? Kinda owe the guy my life." He leaves.

' Psssh. You can owe him your life once he joins the after life."

Kado leaves the room, looking at Reveryn. "I believe Death Row is calling."

Reveryn: Yep. Sure is...

"GET DA' FUCK IN HERE, BOY!"

Reveryn: *looks up, touches his head, then his left shoulder, then his right shoulder, then he goes in and closes the door*

Kado looks over at Torem and sighs. "Well, I guess I'm in. He said for me to go find someone to explain to me the 'theme'. You know what he means?"

Torem: He probably wants someone to tell you what it's all about here. Either that or meant 'team'.

"Both sounds likely. Anyone in particular you'd suggest talking to? Or are you available to show me the ropes or what not? I really don't know this place that well."

Torem: I coul--

"YOU STAY YOUR ASS RIGHT THERE, TOREM. OR IMMA HACK YOUR ASS TOO!"

Torem: *cringes abit from the yelling* Not show you the ropes, but I know someone that might. find Segura and he '' l show you.

Kado nods. "I will see you later I guess." He starts walking off in the direction he remembered meeting Segura, eventually finding him.

"Hello again. The boss let me join up for the time being, so I guess that means I'm officially the new guy. The guy said to ask someone about 'the theme' or something, maybe meant team, no idea. ....Is that guy seriously going to axe the guy? Reveryn?"

A noise can be heard followed by a loud scream. "What I tell you about going out there?! What I tell you?! Another shink noise can be heard followed by another scream

Segura: *turns his head away*

"....Ok then. Let's get away from the Axe Murder scene then. So about the other thing I asked?"

Segura: He probably mean't team or he wants us to tell you what it means to be a martyr. But I know someone who can better explain that. Go through that alley, go straight, then take two lefts then a right. And you'll find that person at the Roundhouse Club.

"Oh great. More walking. Awesome..." He heads off to where Segura indicated. "I swear... if I ever get a straight answer around here I could probably sing hallelujah."

Kado is lead to an open building where there is a crows cheering for what seems be a fight going on.

He watches what's going on from a distance, quietly analyzing the scene. "Is this where they train then? Hmmm...."

''There are 5 people surroundng a beautiful girl with an oriental dragon style clothing and hairsyle an gauntlets with girant emeralds in the middle of them. They rush her but are instantly getting beat up in epic refelxes and combo flurries.''

''Hmmm... not as good as White certainly not, but it would certainly put a nasty dent in my face if I weren't too careful... she's good. ''He watches the match with greater interest, studying how she moves. He remains out of the way towards the exit, not wishing to mingle with the crowd, rather just observe.

''The people come at her with machetes. She dodges their attacks and maneuvers around them in swiftness and release almost bone breaking blows in even greater swiftness and in 10 seconds flat those 5 people are on the ground and everyone cheers for her.''

He can no longer help himself and begins to clap, making his presence known, a sly smile on his face. ''Amazing work indeed. She's quite talented. Wonder where she gets it?''

Girl: Anyone else?

Kado silently walks into the area in full, moving in with the crowd. ''Hmmmm.... might be fun.... ....but rearranging one's face isn't.''

Girl: *looks at Kado* Never seen your face here before.*points at Kado* You wanna go?

Kado shrugs. "Might as well." He slowly walks into the area where she is.

He observes her for a moment, before smiling. "I saw the last fight, pretty talented one you are. Not everyone has that kinda moves. Mind telling me your name lady? ...Assuming you don't mind, of course. Don't want to pry into business that ain't mine to pry open."

gril: Oh no, It's all good. but if you want my name, last 5 minutes against me in fight.

Kado smiles again. "Very well. Just to warn you... I'm not a pushover." He gets into a stance she recognizes as a martial arts ready stance.

''The girl instantly rushes him and punches him so hard in the gut that everybody can see her hand coming through his back, she then pulls back, spins around and elbows Kado directly in the middle of the face. Making him fall flat on his back. Everyone looks in amazement.''

Girl: Then why are you on the ground? Get up.

His form suddenly flickers and a finger taps her shoulder and she turns just in time to be punched in the face hard enough to be sent flying into the nearest wall and crack it.

"Actually I wasn't." He says with a smile.

''The girl tomes back and punches him out of the building into a troth of water and there is a bearded guy looking at him. ''

Man: Mind gettin' out, buddy?

He silently walks back through the hole, the wall repairing itself as he enters. He dusts himself off and looks at her, his smile now much more forced.

"That it?" The next time she comes at hit, she goes right through him, and gets her arm stuck in the wall.

"A word of advice. Don't charge me so recklessly. All fun and games until you're the one knocking yourself out from falling on your face."

Her next attacks he doesn't go intangible for, but instead responds with expert blocks, and when she goes for a kick he suddenly speeds up and trips her.

She lands on her hands and swing kicks Kado in the face then trips then jumps up and lands on his back

Everyone boos at Kado

Girl: Not sure anyone told ya, mister. But no powers here, just our fist. *kicks Kado into the troth*

Man: Do you mind not landing in my troth again?

Kado lets out a dark growl. He gets up and slowly enters the hole and closes it again.

He glances at the girl with blood red eyes, before they dim and return to normal, though an air of anger about him is obvious.

"I came looking for someone to give me answers, but it seems everyone and their dog wants to try and lead me on a wild goose chase. Forget it.... I've got better things to do with my time...."

He irritably begins to walk back the way he came. "I've got no time for this...."

Girl: Hey man, your the one who stepped up. Also, you never said one thing about finding answers. You said something about knowing my name. So what is you it you want to know?

He stops, but doesn't turn around. "There's a difference between friendly spar and brutal violence. The arena was enough, thank you very much, Ryu Girl, so if you don't mind unless you can tell me what the point of this 'martyr' and 'team' crap is, I'm going to go and try to avoid anymore psychos to talk to. Cause frankly," His voice is a little more hostile, "I'm kinda tired of people beating around the damn bush."

Girl: Then I guess you wouldn't be best friends with yourself. Come with me.

"....Whatever....." He runs his hand through his hair and sighs, before reluctantly coming back into the area. "Where are we going?" He says, trying not to show any more irritation.

Girl: You ask what it means to be a martyr. Here everyone cares for one another. Humans and Myth working together in unison. The world up there isn't oh so crazy about it. We believe things don't have to be the way they are now. There is no need for the hate r the One-man-standing. We believe in something better and this community reminds us of that. So much that we're willing to die for it.

"I see. That's what I thought it meant to begin with. But go on."

Girl: This dream is looked down upon, because they don't want to share with the myths. They think they dont belong and only man should remain. Those people want to destroy the myths and even humans who will act as their allies.

He sighs. "I've already had plenty of first hand experience with that. Certainly a admirable dream."

Girl: It's only admirable as the people who risk it.

''They walk through a door and somewhere they are outside and the sky is setting, though there are is a green tint in the sky. It appears to be in a place with immensely huge torn structures and pipes.''

Kado frowns at the sunset, then looks around. "What is this?" He asks.

''They walk a few more kilometers and before him lays a mile or two of people-man and myth, crucified on X-shaped crosses. Their all being held up by barbwire by the wrists and by the ankles. They all have claymores speared through their chest.''

Girl: These are those who died believing in that dream.

He silently looks at them. "I'm not afraid to die fighting for a cause. But understand that my entire life, not once have I had something that life didn't take. ...As of now, I don't really have anything. I may smile, but it is a lie. I'm not sure if you could have noticed. I'm a good liar. Sometimes." There is no smile on the man's face now. Just a solemn empty look in his eyes.

"There was once I time I fought side by side with an organization like this. A time where I believed in the future, a time I was content with my life. But it was an illusion, built upon a fragile networks of desperate belief. Sure, I believed, but the foundation of that belief was nothing but gravel. That foundation is gone, and everything I built myself on destroyed. I lost the thing that gave me that belief. I've done nothing but try to find myself again since. To die for something, I'd have no regrets. That's why I offered to join. Because in reality, I don't see myself having anything to lose except my life, and that itself isn't worth much. Ideals like this are worth more than a guy like me."

Girl: This isn't and ideal. It's the truth. The real truth. These people died for the dream, but we will not let their deaths stop us from believing that we can reach out to the world and it's many generations to come.

He looks at her. "I do understand. I have to ask how this organization does operations, is there a team, because I have heard of such a thing suggested, but as I said earlier, people were most..... ....frustrating with beating around the bush. I don't care what work I'm assigned, as long as I don't have to worry about morality issues."

Girl: Yea, there's a team that takes care of everything from assassinations, to espionage, to recon, to covert. All that.

"I see. Is there anything needed of me? I'd rather not waste my time if I'm not needed around at the present time, or is there something else I need to know or understand?"

Girl: Do whatever the boss tells and treat everyone here with care.

Kado sighs. "I'll take that as 'No'." He turns and begins walking back. "See you later, Ryu."

Girl: Do I look like a boy to you? Name's Akami.

Kado turns and has a rather unholy smirk that immediately tells her she's in for it.

"Whatever you say, ''Ryu." ''He simply walks off.

Akami: Eh, whatever....*looks back over the graveyard then back up at the Sun*

''Speakers come on. '' 'Hello, Oh snap I think it works heheh. Never used this thing before in a while. everyone who lives int the seweres and are not sick or has not been around a sick person, gather around the Iso-Pedestal. And please at least fast walk. Believe it or not, we got as schedule to keep."

Everyone begins to make their way into the underground tunnels, until they make it to a rocky platform surrounded with sharpened iron bars.

Kado sighs. "Well I can't wait to hear this...."

''The boss come out from a hole and jumps nuto a lardge rick so that everyone can see him. ''Ok everyone's here. Well, everyone who ain't sick. Let me speak into the speakers o the sickies can hear on all this to. Sorry they couldn't be here everyone cause you know...can't have everyone gettin' too sick. What's good, fools? I hope you guys are doin' good. I called you all here today because, we're all gonna die.

Everyone begins to silently panic

"All because the Sun is about to give birth to a baby...A baby that will destroy us all. Well, maybe all of you, but i ain't dyin'. Heheh Sucks for y'all. But mmmhhhmmm lets not forget that we're not going to just sit back and just let that baby kill us. We're gonna survive this and hope for the very best. The Frontliners come forth and present yo' selves to your fellow brothers.

''Segura, Akami, Torem come forth. Reveryn limps to the front. He had torn his shirt up to make into bandages for his scars. A girl with light green hair and purple eyes walk up too. She appears to be shorter than the rest.''

" You too, blonde. Get your mighty morphin' ass up here."

"Mighty morphin' ass.... there's one I've never heard before... I'll have to keep that one in the record books...." He walks up as well, a slightly amused smile on his face.

"We are gonna confront this hellish baby and possibly save the world. Quote, we have never done this before, but that doesn't mean we ain't gonna give it a try. So please do not get discouraged. We are obligated to help save this planet so the human race can see that both man and myth can be allies and can do great things if we work as one. We are that example and we aren't gonna let this world end before we can show them the value of teamwork. Now as for everyone elses survival, you all take refuge down into 5 the basement levles. NO ONE is to go into ma' dang room! If anyone of y'all step into my room and and as much less even touches anything in my room. Everyone one standing before me is gonna feel. My. Wrath. That's right. Clip, clip. *turns his hand into scissors*

''Ok then, so you can cut paper.... fantastic. You should open up a business... ''He thinks sarcastically.

Jumps of the rock and is in Kado's face." No blonde...I don't cut paper..ask your new comrades what I mean, when I say...Clip.Clip."

"My apologies. I shall repent my errors. I will refrain from further jokes." He says dully.

''Manuevers around Kado, pulls to where he's bend backwards, has him in in choke hold and has a knife against his knife. ''" You gonna do better than reframe from my jokes, boy. You're gonna reframe from your attitude." ''turns to The Frontliners. ''"Advert yo' eyes! Everyone! Tell them my motto for whoever enters my room uninvited!"

''Everyone in unison. ''"Anyone who enters the boss' room and if he finds anything touched or ripped, they will be punished by having their nuts clipped."

"One person...One..person..." ''*puts his foot on Kado's chest, then lets go of Kado then forces him down on his back. ''"Try not to be smart next time...Aaaand try not to think out loud." ''Jumps back up unto his rock. "Frontliners, get ready. We're gonna show them haters what happens when the party stops. jumps of the rock and into the hole he cam from. ''" That'll be all."

Segura: *helps Kado* Man dude, worst first impression ever. Just be glad he doesn't use scissors often.

Kado closes his eyes and sighs, then opens an eye and looks at Segura. "....Thanks."

''Mindreader huh....? Or maybe what Reveryn mentioned earlier is less far fetched and has some sort of truth to it.... ....doesn't matter. I've got other things to worry about than that.''

He looks at the girl with green hair and purple eyes for a moment, then looks away, then sticks his hands in his pockets, and waits for the team to get ready.

''Pretty sure I got what I need. I have a feeling that the various daggers and shit I have won't do any good, so I might as well just wait. ''He slowly makes calculations on various strategies, while occasionally looking at the other Frontliners, somewhat curious as to what they are.

''I know that Ryu over there has a pretty nasty punch/kick... and Reveryn is not half bad at archery... these other ones though.... hmmm.''

Reveryn: *yells* I'll have you know Imma badass when it comes to archery! Agh! *holds his body* It hurts to move...hurts to move...It really does...*whimpers abit*

"What.....? .....Waaaaiiiiiiiiiiiit....." He closes his eyes. "Sonovabitch... well.... that's the first time someone snuck a mind link on me..." He muses. "My complements, to whoever's behind the link that is. Not even my.... ......old partner...... ....could pull something like that on me...." *At the mention of 'partner', his face has a slight shadow, though his mind becomes blurry to anyone who investigates it, as though he was blocking them from viewing what was upsetting him.

Akami: Frontliners! Let's go! *walks away*

Everyone else except the green haired girl follow

Kado follows the others, ending up behind everyone, a series of katanas appearing on his back.

''Everyone wishes the good miracles as they make their way unto the surface. Once they've made it out they stare up at the Sun as the greend strands fill the sky and the Sun glows orange red.''

Akami: We make our way to the Sun.

"Onward, fools!"

The Frontliners look to their side to see their boss untop of some debris pointing toward their destination.

Akmai: You're coming with us, Father.

"Hells yea, man. Don't see why I should send my own children to their deaths like that. I mean by all means, that's basically what a martyr does. But besides the point, I too have the power to help save this world. And I'm not always gonna be their to fight for or with them. So consider this an occasion. Also consider that since I am helping you, that that maybe is gonna be hard to handle."

Akami: Wo-

"Don't thank me. Let's go." Unlike the others, he is walking on all fours.

The others follow behind him

Kado silently takes Dark Slayer off of its strap, and holds the blade, sheath and sword. ''A blade of chaos... ....well, fitting as my life has been neovtehring short of a trainwreck... plenty chaotic if you'd ask me... ....I hate thi.n sword....''

Reveryn: *whistles while limping* Well, this is you r first sort of mission. Hope you get to enjoy it as much as you can.

Kado shrugs his shoulders. "A fight is a fight. I never enjoy it. Against a god, I have never been in that sort of fight, true. But to say I've never been in a fight where the odds weren't in my favor? Story of my life right there."

Reveryn: Heh. Pretty funny for a dull guy. Try to see the bright side for once and maybe we'll might save the world. not to mention, you having a gloomy attitude might affect how we work as a team so try to stay positive.

"No worries, I'll be sure to project so much gloom upon our enemies they'll keel over faster than someone after eating too much sushi at a all you can eat buffet."

Reverym: HAHAHAHA! Ow. ow crap. *feel his side* Forgot all about that. Ow...

Kado looks at the boss. "Question, are we gonna leave him that way? Might be a problem if he's hurt while fighting the enemy."

" He'll tought it out. He's got no one to blame but himself for the pain he's feeling."

Reveryn: It was worth it, right? Atleast you're here now with us. I'll be fine. Just several huge gashes.

"Alright.... ...let's just hurry. ....I got a bad vibe about today."

"Why wouldn't you? The Sun is about to give birth and its child is gonna destroy the world!"

Semi-Victory
The Frontliners make it back to The Slums where everybody is waiting there for them.

" Well, everyone. We sucked badly, but we did something, right? And what is our motto here?"

"Something is better than nothing."

"Yuuuulp, that's right. But we did somethin', right? And that counts for something. Thoguh I know we could've done better." Steals a look at The Frontliners who bow their heads in shame. "I still say we didn't do half bad."

Everyone claps and welcome them back

"Now let's get some chocolate malts up in this bitch! WOOOOOO!"

Cook serves everyone chocolate malts and hands one to each of the Frontliners

Kado sighs, propping himself against the wall, too tired to be in his disguise. In one hand he has a malt, but the other he has his mask, looking at it glumly.

Akami: *is looking down on Kado* Still pissed or are you just tired?

"Tired.... and pissed at myself. I tend to be that way when I feel I've failed myself."

Akami: I see. You're beating yourself up. We're all gonna fail at some point, but you learn from you're failures and you become something better. You keep lamenting on your failure now, you'll never learn. You fail once and you know how you failed, then you don't do it again. Basically simple as that.

He looks at the chocolate malt. "....What is this stuff anyway?"

Akami: Ugghhh...chocolate ice cream with cream untop

Kado shrugs. "Hey, I'm not really from around here. My world isn't exactly a well structured place. ....I also don't know what people keep ratting on about when they say T.V. shows and movies..."

Akami:...T.V.?

Kado sighs. "Don't know what it is either? Apparently they can visualize some sort of stories and.... no, might as well not try. I don't know what it is. I can't explain it. Damn humans and their complected entertainment....."

Akami: Sounds weird? I never heard of anything like that. But he man, stop beating yourself up and enjoy yourself. Today, you practically saved the world. Though this might not change anything between man and myth, we can sure keep trying.

Kado sighs, ending it with a slight laugh. "I guess so." He tastes the malt. "....Hmmm.... another thing this world seems to have. Simple pleasures. At home it's just your basic foods like meat and fruits...."

Akami: You gotta have a little bit of sweets in between. If you're not in the mood to celebrate, we can start your training.

Kado quietly eats the malt. "I need some time to think. In solitude or otherwise, I don't care which. Hmmm... where did you come from before you came to The Party?"

Akami: I don't know...

Kado looks away for a moment. "....I see..... Sorry."

Akami: Nah. It's alright.

He looks at everyone else. "....I feel.... so empty right now.... when I look at everyone else. I don't know how to feel right now. Relief? Happy? ....It feels as though everyone else is detached, even though they're there, I don't feel a part of anything right now. ....I don't know how to explain it."

Akami: I say it's normal. *takes a sip of her malt* Everyone feels like one day or another, then the next they feel they're untop of the world. The reason you feel that way is because you're over here all by yourself and not being apart of the family. Give it try, man. It be alot better for you to be in there than all the way over here.

Kado laughs. "I guess you're right."

''Maybe I'll figure out how to live again.... ....I guess everything deserves a chance.''

Torem: *wraps bandages around Reveryn's face* There you go, Rev. Give it a week or 2 and you'll be ok.

Reveryn: Does the bandages make look me cool...?

Torem: *slightly smiles* It makes you look very cool.

Reveryn: Thanks Torry...you're the best...

Torem: *slightly blushes* Thanks, Rev.

Kado walks up to the others, a bit tired but no longer limping.

"You guys doing ok?"

Torem: We're doin' fine.

Revery: Hey Avo. Does the bandages make me look cool?

"Yep. I mean it from the bottom of my heart. My cold, dark, dismal heart."

Reveryn: *weakly laughs* Ow...it hurts to move my mouth. Speaking of which, how am I supposed to drink ma' malt?

"We could give you a straw." Kado smirks.

Reveryn: Yea...that can work...*gets a straw and puts it in his malt. Puts the straw through his bandages and begins to sip* Mmmmmm relaxing. Totally gets my mind off my aching face.

Kado just shakes his head smiling. "You can forget about what I said before about my name and all, Reveryn. Call me what you like, it's no concern to me anymore. You all know what I look like now, I suppose it doesn't matter now."

Reveryn: Ok then. Let's re-introduce ourselves. *puts out his hand for a hand-shake* Hello good sir, My name is Reveryn. You can call me 'the guy who done saved your ass'. And you are?

Kado has a slight exasperated look on his face. "....You can just tell them that my name is Kado you know."

Reveryn: Sure thing. Hey everyone! I want you all to meet Kado!

Everyone says 'hi' to Kado, shake his hand and pats him on the back for helping save the world.

Kado has a weary smile on his face as he tries his best to relax and enjoy himself a bit.

''Never was much for parties... though this is somewhat nice...''

Reveryn: Come one man. Enjoy your malt. *continue to sip his malt* I'm tellin' you it's awesome.

Kado faintly smiles. "It's certainly good. Just gotta understand one does not simply shed the 'doom and gloom' style so easily. At some point I need to discuss some things with the boss, though I think that can wait for the moment."

Reveryn:That would be best. The boss,you know when he's out.Tends to get too...

''The boss is at another table with a little girl eating McDonald's. H slaps he meal off the table. ''"Bitch! Did I just catch you eating McDonald's? What the f-." Proceeds toput the beat down on the little girl from across the table.

Reveryn:...Temperamental...

Kado sighs. "Talking about protecting the weak and then beating a little girl up....? ....That kind of thing gets on my nerves. I'd be half tempted to beat the snot out of him for that.... ....uggh." He places a hand over his face in agitation.

Reveryn: It's called discipline. Maybe advanced discipline. Obi's rule: If you have fast food when Obi's around, share it with him first. Which she didn't do soooo...yea. *sips his malt* Spare the rod, spoil the child, man.

Kado's eyes turn blood red in Reveryn's direction, and he suddenly looks officially cross. "Hitting a child is not discipline. It's child abuse. A swat to the rear end is one thing. That." He looks over towards Obi. "Is quite another."

He turns and starts walking off.

''Girl with the green hair. Inform the boss that I have personal buisness to attend to. If he needs me, my mind is open for communication. I'll return as soon as I'm needed, if I'm not already in the middle of something.''

Segura: Goin' somewhere, New guy?

Kado turns his head, the red glow of his eyes apparent. "Yes. I am. I have things that require my personal attention. It's personal."

Segura: Nothing is personal with us. No one goes out unless atleast one person accompanying him or her.

"I see, so now you're stalkers. Normally I would not care, but this is a sentimental trip. Tell me, would I or should I stop you from going to honor and mourn your dead?"'

Segura: Those guys have been dead for decades. And I have mourned over them more times than I prayed to God. Besides, you can't loose me by making a half-attempted getaway like that.

Kado's eyes glow even stronger as the air around him blackens until only his eyes are shown, and a large shadow hand grabs him and pulls him toward Kado, who then grabs him by the shoulders, his canine teeth elongated.

"''Half-attempted fucking getaway?! FUCK YOU! I lost the man I called my father, and the love of my life to this fucking war! You have no idea what I've lost!" ''He all but yells, and punches him away in anger.

Segura: *catches his punch* And I lost all i had when I joined the Party. Whe everyone dies because of one belief. I ask myself why not quite so I don't have to see the people I call my family die? It's because it's not supposed to be easy. Everyone loose someone, New guy. It's just that, not everything can be about you or me. At the end of the day, those people mean something, but I'm not gonna let their deaths effect me or my life.

Kado stares him down. "Is this what you call family? Not trusting one another to simply grieve, or do anything for that matter? Hitting children over not getting your way over something almost childish? Trying to murder one another with an axe? Threatening each other with violence to get what you want? Intruding on each other's private thoughts without care or respect for their own feelings? Discrediting or undervaluing the emotions of your 'comrades'?

Listen. None of you have the right to lecture or talk to me about any of this. Self sacrifice, dying for a cause? I've already traversed the whole road. I was once like all of you. On the streets, alone. I came together with a band of people just like me who had no future. We looked out and protected each other, and dreamed of a future of fairness and equality. Seven years. In seven years, I accomplished what you guys claim to be fighting for now. Peace between man and Mythos, equality and justice. We took down tyrants and created freedom. We endured war and policy brutality and gang violence. Seven years, Segura. I've been on this same road as you. I lost many comrades and friends, I was betrayed and hated. I know what this, and what that is like."

He face furrows deeply. "So maybe instead of treating me like this, maybe you should fucking give me the benefit of the doubt for once. If we're going to be comrades, then I expect you to show me trust, the same trust I showed my underlings and my followers, and my peers. Are we not supposed to be a family? If so, then honor my request and allow me to close on the past chapter of my life. Otherwise, I cannot trust you either. With my life on the battlefield, nor trust you with friendship. I need to do this. I need to pay my last respects. I need to honor the promise of the man I called father, the promise he demanded of me before his death. He taught me everything I know. I owe him. Everything."

Kado's face of anger melts, replaced with deep sorrow. "Please. I need to go."

Segura: Always remember, there is no doubt. Only belief. And it's not that I don't trust you. It's that I don't want to loose another addition to our family.

Kado silently turns his back on Segura and creates a portal, and walks through it. The portal doesn't close.

Segura: *stands their looking at the portal for a moment, then walks through*

Back from The Tombstone
Kado, Naomi, and Segura are outside the entrance to The Slums

Segura: Wait there. We have to clarify with Obi right quick and see if he'll let you in. Come on, New guy. *slides down the hole*

"You can't remember Kado?! It means freaking CARD! It's not that hard!" He yells after Segura as he jumps down.

Segura: Dude, shut up! You'll give us away! For a ninja, you suck at stealth.

Kado sighs when they reach the Slums. "Don't worry about it. I'm not that careless... no one was around. I can sense anything in the darkness. The rats crawling around in the walls, the spiders, and the mouse inside your hair."

Segura: *takes the rat out his hair and holds it* Doesn't mean Obi still wont be listening.

''Make it back to the Hut of The Slums. The boss is sitting on the floor with little children sitting around him listening. The girl he had beaten up is sitting in his lap with an ice pack over her head and in another hand she has Burger King fries. ''"And I was all like..*makes gun shot sounds* and i was like " Come at me, you fire-breathin' bastard and...*looks at Kado and Segura* You two! Why are you out in the night? I done told you the night time is bad!

Segura: Sorry, Dad.

Bitch! ''slaps Segura. ''"What did I say about sayin' that?"

Segura: I apologize, Dad.

"Good, now where da fuck were you?"

Kado says firmly, "I was taking care of unfinished business. I was saying my last farewells to the man who raised me. His tombstone, at least... ...I also was making sure the last promise I gave him was fulfilled. Besides. The night is my territory more or less."

''The boss looks at him funny. ''"Ugghh, no it ain't."

Kado looks off in the distance towards the surface, and then begins to count in extreme detail every single thing moving around, to the point of insanity. He finally finishes with, "Oh yeah, there's someone flying towards this direction as well."

He crosses his arms somewhat. "Can't tell if they're coming towards the Slums just yet. Also," He looks towards Obi, relaxing his arms again, "I mentioned before I have a friend that I'd like to have brought under the Party's protection. I was wondering if we might discuss that. If it's not ok with you, then I'll have to make a trip to find somewhere safe for her, and check on her periodically afterwards."

The night is not your territory. It is the territory of criminals and punks. Like rats behind the walls. You are but one, who relies too much on his power and not upon his own senses. Has the rat is in hand.

Segura: *looks at his hand and finds the rat gone*

The rat. It scurries. It scavenges. You think you can kill them all? Once they taste the blood, they slowly peck at you away, they will over run you and tear you apart until you're all bone. The only solution: Eat them before they eat you. ''Shoves the rat in his mouth, eats on it and swallows. ''That's my solution anyway. What is you're friend capable of? If she is good at atleast one thing that we can do with, she can stay.

"She is a Shapeshifter-Yokai hybrid. Kitsune variety. She can defend herself, but she's not strong willed. Slightly gullible, she used to think I was the enemy or something, but our fight cleared her eyes. She's good with various kinds of fire magic, I even learned how to create instantaneous explosions from her. She wields a Slayer called Firehawk, and can turn into a five tailed fox. Last I heard White was training her in the art of Plasma Manipulation before I left the organization, so by now I assume she can use it much more efficiently. She's really kind as well. Not sure if any of that works for you."

Explosions..perfect. Actually 99.9% perfect. And plasma. Love some glowy shit. Oh so glowy...Heheheheh. Alright, she can stay. She can tend to the disabled.

Kado closes his eyes, and eventually they hear a yelp as Naomi tumbles haphazardly down the hole, yet somehow manages to land on her feet at the end. She shakes herself, causing dust to fly off her, specifically her five fox tails.

Kado sighs, and shakes his head. "Still a little bit of a klutz, aren't ya?"

She sees Obi and bows nervously. "M-M-my name is N-Naomi, sir!" She stutters nervously.

Kado sighs again. "Anyway, this is Naomi, my friend."

Naomi, but that aint a...wait..hold..act- waitt...sort of sure ok. Welcome to The Party, Little Wolf Girl. Ma' name is Obidiah Storman most people call me Obi, The boss, Dad, The Loopy One, Tarzan, and some people call me Exima for some reason...it's awkard. But whatever.

Naomi's fox ears flatten a bit. "Actually I'm a fox...."

Kado looks at Obi. "Well I could see why.... you look like him. He was some guy from the Arena. Exima was the last guy I had to fight before Reveryn got us out of there."

"That's what the fox said. OHHHHHHH! What Now? But I heard he's pretty tough, never seen'em. sounds like the type of I would like to bust up in the face."

"Yeah...." Kado rubs his forehead. "Is there anywhere to sleep here? I haven't slept in a good while."

"Segura, show him the quarters."

Segura: Sure thing. Come on. *walks out the Hut*

Kado follows, and Naomi looks at Obi, before following Kado.

A beutiful angelic woman falls out of the sky, landing gracefully before Kado. She bows. "Hello, young warrior."

"Da fuck!" ''*smacks a table over the counter, then braks off another table and swings it at the angelic woman Knocking her out the Hut. He is already untop of her with a knife angled against her face. ''"You got not invitation, bitch. So watcha here for?"

"I have no buisness with you, kind sir." She flips him on his back, disarms him, and stradles him to the ground, holding the very same knife to his throat with his own hand.

Segura: Awwww daammmn

Obi: Oh ok....8nods his head* i gotch you. So gotch you. *kicks her in her pelvic area, manuevers on the ground bringing his heel to smack her in the face, takes his knife, comes back up and shoves it deep into her eye socket*

Segura: *tries to keep the children from looking*

Obi: Can't touch this. *begins to dance* Da na na na. Na na na. Can't touch this.

Suddenly a foot connects with the angel's head, knocking her to the ground as Kado then places his foot firmly on her stomach, holding her down, as he points Dark Slayer at her, which arcs with a malevolent aura from Kado's anger.

"Listen, I know you're not an angel from God, so let me make this brief and clear. I'm tired. Very tired. I just had to fight a god and my archnemesis who sent them packing. They both kinda kicked my ass. That made me rather grumpy. So I really don't want to deal with any more crap. You just attacked my boss, which while he's not the nicest guy on the block, he's still my damn boss, and damn it if I'm not gonna deal with you if you don't explain yourself right now. Start talking, before I start engaging in a pass time I call stabbing you the fuck to death!"

"First off: Immortal. Second off: I came to help you regain control of Phoenix. Third off:-" she flips over, throwing Kado off balence, "- Get your foot off of me."

"Lovely." He effortlessly rights himself and trips her mid-flip, causing her to land on her face. "But you seem to be under the impression that I want control over the current Phoenix. That's strike one." Shadow hands snake up from the ground and wrap around her like ropes, completely stopping her movement.

His black eyes gain a sliver of red. "The only thing I want is to start a revolution in the way of things, Flutterbird. The world needs a swift kick to the ass, and then to the balls for good measure. A wake up call. A sign that says 'Hey, you know what, we done fucked up! Maybe we should stop our bullcrap before our bullcrap gets us killed!' That sort of thing. The Phoenix I'd like to see? One that causes a fire to envelop the world. Not a fire of destruction, but a fire of passion and rebirth. Of brotherhood and understanding.

So no. I don't want to regain control of Phoenix. I'm going to completely renovate it. Now, since you're laying there, how about you tell me who you are, and why you know who I am? Also, not to be a prick, which I am, but why would I need help from you?"

Her wings easily break the tendrils of darkness. "I am Chika, The Angel of Death. I have omniscience and future sight. I see you will fight someone you cannot beat."

Kado gives her an irritated look. "Fascinating." One of his eyes goes black with a red light in the center, and red chains of negative energy negate her wings and power, chaining her to the ground so she can't move.

"''Do us a favor and shut up and stay put until the boss decides to let you stay or not. You don't have permission to be here, which you could have gotten, were it not for your idiotic decision to attack the boss. Now maybe he'll be willing to listen. I don't care. But if he doesn't give you the ok, scram. If he does, that's great, don't bother us until morning. Got that, Fluffy Wings?" ''The voice of Neo says to her in irritation.

With that, The change fades from his eyes, and he silently walks away with Segura and Naomi, and the chains maintain their strength and easily defeat any attempt to break them.

"Ah, the future is intact..." she says to herself.

Voice: No it isn't.

"Who are you to say this? I have not forseen your coming..." At this, she struggles at the chains to see where the voice is from.

Voice: Every future is different, we do not share the same, but sometimes, it takes one person to decide the fate of the world. There are multiple futures. Multiple out comes. Things you cannot for see for the future is far from uncertain. For you anyway.

"Yes..." She settles down.

voice: You see. We cannot fore see ones future, because there is so many way his future can turn out, just by action and reaction. The future can tainted with ofcourse,so that's why not many posses the ability to gothorugh time,but even if they do, what future are they going to? For there are so many of them. But when one future happens, all the rest are destroyed and a new set of futures appear.

"Of course" she says. At this point, Chika is interested.

Obi: *waves in front of the guys face* Hey, hey. I'm trying to get you attention by wavering in your face.

Voice: Who how are you doing that?

Obi: Doing what?

Voice: Moving.

Obi: Man, I can move whenever I wan' to!

Voice: But the thing is, you're not supposed to. I just stopped time.

Obi: You did? *looks behind him and sees Kad and Segura and the children all just stadning there not moving* I guess you did. I can be frozen too if you want. *stands on one leg and has both of his wrist almost tucked under hit arm pits*

Voice: Oh no, man. It's all cool now. *looks at Chika* We can finish this talk another time. *disappears and everyone can move again*

Segura: i feel like something's...missing...weird.

Obi: Man, dude. Everythang's weird.

"Hello, sir. I appologize for erlier. I saw you as a threat to me and did not think." Chika bows her head.

Obi: Last minute apologies. Pitiful but-wait. did you just say 'I apologize'?

"Yes... Why?" she replies. Her head comes up.

Obi: Apology excepted.

"Now what?"

Obi: You get the fuck out.

"The future is intact.. At least take these wreched chains off of me."

The chains dissolve. There you go, A smug echo of Neo's voice rings out.

Obi: Ok. Now you can get the fuck out.

"Thank you." She bows respectfully and flies off.

Obi: *yells after her* Don't come back unless you have an invitation!

Kado walks after Segura. "Man now I'm even more tired.... ....who was that damn angel anyway...." He sighs.

Segura: She said she was the Angel of Death.

Obi: No she ain't. We all knowthat Azazel is the Angel of Death. She's just some darned rip-off.

Segura: New girl, come on. I'll show you to the cabins.

She follows after him and Kado.

Segura: *takes them a few buildings and takes them to two joint cabins* The one on the left is the boys cabin and the one on the right is the girls cabin.

Kado heads to the left quietly. Naomi blinks for a moment, then heads to the right, not before taking a long look at Kado until he disappears, and then she sighs, entering the right cabin.

Reveryn: *is inside sitting on the bottom bunk, assembling and sharpening his arows* What's good, fools?

Segura: Good. How's you're face?

Reveryn: Too busy fixin' ma' arrows to care about that eight now. *angles his arrow*

Kado silently looks around. "Which one isn't taken?" He asks dully.

Reveryn: 3 dudes, 4 bunks. Take a pick. *puts his arrow in his quiver*

Kado takes the unoccupied bunk, sighing and closing his eyes. ''I hate beds... I guess it's fine. Though if there's ever a new member, I'll take the floor.''

Reveryn: So where did you guys go off to?

Segura: Pay respect to the new guy's dad.

Reveryn: Bet he's better than my dad.

Kado merely attempts to get sleep, not saying anything.

Reveryn: Did the boss get on you too for going out so late?

Segura: Yea he did but it wasn't all too bad.

Reveryn: Good for you guys. Been here all day fixing up my next batch of arrows. I've made 162 so far. Did you know that's how many countries who still have forced labor? I tell you what, their gonna be bringing back sweat shops and shit, dude. Ain't gonna be goodfor the like of the little tikes.

Segura: How many slaves?

Reveryn: *puts his arrow down and looks up at Segura* 30 million.

Segura: Holy crap. Is that in every country or is that overall?

Reveryn: Overall.

Segura: Damn. Then we definately need to do something about that.

Reveryn: *is sharpening his next arrow head* I hate the trafficking system.

"Urrgggh.. s head.

Reveryn: you ok, man?

Segura: He's just tired form the long day.

Reveryn: Oh I see. Sleep well, Kado. *continues to sharpen his arrow head* Why does it feel like time just stopped for a moment a few moments ago?

Let's Assassinate the L-Branch
Obi: *is looking through his cabinent mirror*

Reveryn: *enters* Hey dad, you comin' for Celebration Breakfast?

Obi: ...Yea, i'm comin'....

Reveryn: You know the future of The Party looks bright, right?

Obi: ...Not really, Rev....

Reveryn: Come one, man. We just freakin' saved the world from annihilation. Well, partially. There Act will be postponed. A new positive light will shine on the myths. We're actually gonna save both races!

Obi: *slams his cabinet mirror and looks at Reveryn straight in the face* There's gonna be a Round 2!

Torem: Aaaahhhh Damn iiiiit!

Reveryn: Excuse me?

Obi: There's gonna be a 2nd Fantasy vs. Reality...

Reveryn: What? But we saved the world...

Obi: *shakes his head* Nuh Uh. After we defeated the Sun baby, the white chick came she instantly turned on us, after she one-shoted the baby that threatened to burn up the world. She fought Kado mostly, who see him as the Destroyer of London. In the eyes of the world, it wasn't a fighting to save this world, it was take was a fight for dominance.

Reveryn: W-what do you mean li-like for Reality?

Obi: *shakes his head while still having eye contact with Reveryn*

Reveryn: *comes to realization* Ooooohhh...

Obi: Yea... *turns away

Reveryn: Oh come. I-I mean how bad can it be?

Obi: Bad...

Reveryn: How bad?

Obi: *turns towards Reveryn again* It's gonna be 20 times worse than World War!

Reveryn: One or Two?

Obi: Which one had had D-Day?

Reveryn: *looks away for a moment trying to grasp what he's hearing. Turns back to Obi* Two.

Obi: Yea, that's it.

Reveryn: Shiiit.

Obi: I know...What are we gonna do? I mean...*a fly buzzes past him and he waits for it to pass by* How are gonna change the world, when the great War is in process? They're gonna pass the ACT. Everyone is gonna be packin' the heat on the myths. The myths will probably destroy humanity, which will piss God off and he gets involved. And well....never hear the end of it!

Reveryn: Dude, We destroy the Legislative Branch. Then we'll be all good.

Obi: Really?

Reveryn: Yea. We kill them!

Obi: *smiles abit* Yea... I gues you're right might not...my not even know what hit them.

Reveryn: Naw, man. No Branch, No one to pass the law off to the Executive Branch. We're all good.

Obi: *nods his head in agreement*

E.T.T (Epic Training Time)
Reveryn: *opens the foor to the boys cabin* Wake up, fools. It's important.

Segura: *rubs his eyes* The duck is it, Rev?

Rveryn: Boss, says it's time to get shit done. And we gotta do it fast. Let's go Kado.

Kado grunts. He slides out of his bunk and lands on his feet, his three Slayers appearing on his back. "Alright then.... great way to start the day...."

Reveryn: Trust me man. It's gonna get better.

''In a wheat field. Everyone is lined up.''

Obi: Alright, you bastards. Something has come up. We are in the current situation that there might be a prelude to another Fantasy War. All this shit that has happened to this planet is too unbearable for mankind to handle, and they want something done about it. We all know The Admin. had issued the ACT way before any of this shit had gone down. The L-Branch had to think about it for a while. Now with all that had happened these few months, they are sure to sign it now. And if that happens, we are all screwed. In order to stop that ACT from being passed to the Executive Branch we must assassinate their asses. Today, I am going to be training/testing you on who is gonna be the assassin chosen to kill them. It will require months of trust to get to a high position to where you can get get close on those bastards and slit their throats and walk away unnoticed. I will choose who gets the job. If you wussy-out, you wussy-out. Ok?

Kado thinks for a bit. "Such a thing is not easily done, it's almost in the realm of impossible. It's got more than a hundred individual members, right? Why not target the executive branch and the line of succession? That stops the act from being approved. I'm not questioning your judgement, I am just looking at different parts of the issue, if we are going for assassinations. I've done my fair share of them, which is why I ask. ....I also took down a entire military base without getting caught but...."

Obi: Duuuude! Why you gotta be spoiling shiiiit? I was gonna secretly bring that up to 2nd plaaaace!

"Errr... sorry sir. ....I just wanted to be helpful." He sighs and rubs his forehead. "I guess I'll keep my mouth shut since I can't do anything right."

Obi: Uuuugghhh. And there you go blamin' yourself. Whatdo we say?

Everyone: Blaming isn't productive!

Obi: The more you lament on minor shit or major shit. It messes up your work flow. You productivity. How you view things, which are is pretty dark right now. And wait....did you just say you were 'sorry'?

"Yes. I am sorry. I apologize. I feel guilty. All of those things. Specifically I feel sorry for 'spoiling shit' as you say. I don't have my pride stuck up my ass to the point I won't admit I'm wrong, sir. And a final note, I'm the Dark Slayer. I can't help it if I'm 'dark' a lot."

Obi: *slaps Kado with every word he says* Don't! Ever! Say! I'm! Sorry! Again! *stops* Do you know what 'sorry' means? It means your wretched, trifling, and despicable. You are not those three things. I refuse to let my children think less of themselves that way. You have a choice to be dark or not. No matter the influence, you can become your own influence. Say I apologize instead and ONLY! I apologize. Say it with me. I apologize.

One of Kado's eyes is red and has red markings, but he says tightly, "I apologize. Though when you're the reason a city lies in ruins, it's not hard to say. Have you ever felt the guilt of having a city's blood on your hands?" He asks sincerely and calmly. "I'm a killer, a savage who can barely control his own nature at times. Though I have gained control over my rage, it is not gone, nor can I ever forget what it cost me. It is one thing to try and move on, but it is another when for the rest of your life, you are hounded and hated for that one mistake, that one lapse in judgement." The eye and markings fade to normal, now just black, showing the shapeshifter's emptiness.

Obi: Dude, cities lies in ruins everyday. We are all responsible for some bad things. Sin is sin. There is no greater sin. It's like saying one shit smells worst than the other, but they both smell bad. so which one smells worst doesn't matter. Lots of people get hounded for mistakes they do. The world is like that these days. Epic racism to the max, man. And you were a savage killer, why haven't you killed us yet? Stop shrouding yourself in the abyss, thought it is easier said than done.

"......" Kado says nothing, then sighs. "Without roots, a tree will not stand. Without those who wander the darkness, no one can find a path to the light. Might we begin the... training, sir?"

Obi: Like I said, easier said than done. Right now I know you must thing I dont understand jack, but realise, that that not everything has to be done in the dark. Now! Let's get down to training one!

Everyone is standing on broken bottle glass

Obi: Glas...it's sharp, point, and it brings magnificent pain. Itmay hurt for but for me,I eat glass for breakfast. *takes a shard off the ground and eats it* And sometimes dinner.

Reveryn: Ugh.

Obi: Right now, you must be thinking the pain can't be getting any worse than this. Isn't that right, Reveryn.

Reveryn: No s-sir. *trying to hold still*

Obi; *walks up to Segura* What about yoooouuuu?

Segura: *is looking straight* No...

Obi: *walks up to Kado* What about yooooouuu?

Kado is absolutely unbothered. "The pain getting worse or not isn't the issue. Enduring the pain is another. By the way, what pain?" He says, even though his feet are slightly bleeding, he seems to generally unaware or unconcerned of whatever pain it's causing him.

Obi: *yells in his face* YES OR NO, DUMBASS!

"No."

Obi: Being freakin' smart with me. You don't know me like that. Imma ol school. I be puttin' the whoopin' on yo' ass, bouy. *walks up to Torem* How about yooouuuu?

Torem: Yes sir..

Obi: *nods* Okay...*walks up to Akami* And you?

Akami: Yes sir.

Obi: Huh....ok....well seeing that the boys over here wanna be macho and lie to ma' face, I got another method. *goes into the wheat and brings out an angular concrete brick and shows it to Reveryn* you see this? This holds 450 pounds. Now with you're foot on the glass. Wouldn't it be a shame if I accidentally dropped the brick?

Reveryn: *nods his head anxiously* Yes. Yes it would!

Obi: Ok then. Shame. *lets go of the brick and it falls on Reveryn's foot*

Reveryn: AAAARRRRRGHHAHAHRRRGGH! RRRRRHHHHH! AAAAAHAHAHAA! AAAAAAAAAAAAAHAAAA!

Obi: *gets another brick* Then I try not drop another one this time...

Reveryn: *is grinding his teeth*

Obi: Oh God, borken glass. Eeeeee. *drops the brick on Reveryn's other foot*

Reveryn: AAAAAAAAAARRRHAHAHARRGGGH! RRRRRGHRHRHRHGGGGG!

Obi: *get's another two bricks* Let's play a game of truth or dare...

Segura: *continuous to look straight*

Obi: Is it true that you are hiding something from me...

Segura: No...

Obi: *drops the brick on Segura's foot*

Segura: *tightens his hand in a fist*

Obi: *gets the other brick* I dare the truth to if you are planning on popping on The Party...

Segura: Never...

Obi.....*drops the brick on Segura's other foot*

Segura: *tighten his other fist and anger and siappointment can be seen in his eyes*

Obi: *get's two extra brikcs and walks up to Kado* Wanna play heads or tails, blondie?

Kado looks at the bricks. "Sure." He says emotionlessly.

Obi: Heads or tails...

"Heads."

Heads as in what I'm going to bash into a bloody pulp if he tries any shit again.... His Neo side growls. Shut up.... He growls in a retort.

Obi: *tosses the brick in the air and the brick lands on top of Kado's head, causing him to lands face first into the broken glass* Now. Unto the next challnge! *leaps into the wheat*

Reveryn: * throws the brick off Kado and helps Kado up* You ok, man? Ooooohhh. Duuuude, you're face just got shaaanked. But bet it doesn't bother you none.

Kado shapeshifts, and all of the glass pops out, but Reveryn notices there are countless scars now visible all over Kado's body, and he quietly pulls open his cloak to reveal a massive scar over his chest almost as though someone had once tried to blow his chest wide open, many other ragged scars are also on his body.

"Compared to the many battles and tortures I've gone through, little blades of glass will never be even a pain." He returns to normal and fixes his cloak, and follows Obi.

In the wheat field

Obi: Ok everyone. Strip down!

Everyone begins to take off their clothes until all is left is their underclothes

Kado doesn't even bother to ask, despite the tremendous urge to speak up, and just does it.

Obi: *walks behind him and puts his hand in some mud and smears it over their eyes*Ok, now walk foreward.

Everyone takes several steps foreward and wait a moment

Reveryn: *leans back as a arrow flies past him*

Segura: *leans his waits forward, dodging the arrow*

The arrow only scratches the back of Kado's heel

Reveryn: Well this is up my alley.

Kado turns his head in the general direction of Reveryn and sighs. "I try to grasp some meaning to the madness, but I should just learn that there is no such thing as normal in this group."

He whips his head back forward and another arrow flies harmlessly past him.

Reveryn: Especially when you have a madman for a father. *bends backwads as an arrow flies past him*

Segura: *jumps back as an arrow flies past him*

Torem annd Akami are dodginf the arrows like tomorrow

Obi: *is ontop of a diry hill and is sitting down next to a quiver of arrows while the shooting the arrows* One arrow. *shoots an arrow and gets another one out the quiver* Two arrow. *fires another arrow*

Reveryn: *is dodging the arrows without having to move from where he's standing* Man, Neo wish he got something on me. How you holdin' up, Kado?

A red glow comes to one of Kado's eyes. "''Is that a challenge, Reveryn?" ''A wicked smirk comes over Kado's face, Neo's trademark one.

Reveryn: Ugh...I guess?

Neo takes the next arrow that flies near him and catches it, then snaps it.

Kado groans. "Noo! No challenges Neo!"

Reveryn: *Catches and arrow and throws it back at Obi*

Obi: *catches the arrow with his toes* Ok, next one.

Everyone lines up a few yards away from a tree.

Obi: *ties a sling around both trunks. Get's a pumpkin and draws it back* Who's first?

Revern: *shrugs* Eh, I'll go. *braces his chest*

Obi: *lets go of the sling launching the pumpkin at Reveryn*

Reveryn: *gets hit* Agh! *falls back*

Obi: Next. *draws another pumpkin*

Segura: *walks foreward and braces himself*

Obi: *launches the punmpkin*

Segura: *is hit, but stands there fore a moment until he falls to his hands and knees*

Obi: Weeeak. Next. *draws another pumpkin*

Kado's patience slowly wears thin. "Boss. Mind I ask, but what does pumpkins have to do with our mission? This seems more like training for a circus act. No offense."

He steps up, already suspecting he will be yelled at, bracing himself for either an attack or the pumpkin.

Obi: Stop askin' questions! Not everything needs to be explained to you and you can't expect it to make sense if it does! Just deal with it! *launches the pumpkin*

Kado's fists tighten as he recalls his loss of Azula. The pumpkin bounces off him, and Kado only budges a little.

He turns his back on Obi and walks over to one side of the Frontliners, red eyed but says nothing. He sits down close by Reveryn, but facing away from the others, Reveryn able to catch a furious look on Kado's face.

Reveryn: Something he said strike ya'?

His piercing red eyes glare at him. "If you lost the love of your life and saw her suffering like I did.... ....I watched her lose her mind. I saw the free willed and beautiful woman I loved become empty... her eyes and her will empty like glass... .....if you saw those things.... ......and then had to deal with nonsensical bullcrap like this.... could you stand to think of the time you'd be wasting, when you could be fighting to save her?! While she has her free will and her dignity as a living being taken away, I'm sitting here walking on glass, having bricks dropped on my feet, having mud smeared on my face and shot at with arrows, and smacked with damn pumpkins!!!"

He punches the ground angrily.

"And don't tell me I'm overreacting! I want to save her, to see Phoenix pay for what they've done to me, to her! I don't want to waste my time fighting pointless battles and wasting what time I have!"

He takes a deep breath. "That weapon White used....? That thing.... is called the Spear of God. ....And Azula.... the one I love.... is that damn thing's core. She's being turned into a fucking weapon. A weapon! How can I be wasting my time like this, when only God knows what is happening to her?! I would do anything to save her, I'll gladly kill anyone in my way. Point me in the direction of someone and I'll cut their bloody head off, I'll damn do it, but I won't waste my time anymore, damn it!"

He scowls, turning away, cradling his head as he holds back his anger from making him yell.

Reveryn: We maybe be getting trained by a madman, but he has a different way of teaching us than most fathers do. Like right now, he's teaching us no matter how much shit you go through, you gotta strive on through. You're gonna get you'r chance, because you lasted as long as you did through all you had to face. And with something like that, you'll find chick. But you also gotta control yourself. They slightest bit of of impulsivness could jeopardize your ladder of success. If this 'White' person is truly as bad as you sy she is, then God will give you the victory.

Kado closes his eyes, and his hair starts to grow longer and turns white, and he slowly turns his head to face Reveryn, and when he opens his eyes, only red dots are visible in his eyes.

"You're all nothing but children. I don't need to hear it from Captain Pumpkin over there. I take my job seriously. I think that's a quality needing an improvement on if anything else. Come back and preach to me when you change the world in only seven years. I'll even let you smack me upside the head if you do it in less. Until then, don't you preach to me about such things, when this world's track record is self evident enough."

He closes his eyes and strangely smiles. "Though you are slightly on the right track... I'll give you that. Win the hearts of the people, and you can change them all. Change is a popularity contest. The most popular opinion wins. You have to confront the world with something they cannot deny. That is why Azure, my organization, we fought the criminal underground. We carried out assassinations, hit and runs, one by one we destroyed criminal organizations. Though originally we were just a band of people struggling to get food to eat for each other...."

His tone becomes slightly nostalgic. His eyes return sort of to normal, though his irises are almost black, just a shade above it.

".....You know.... I may just call in some favors, Reveryn. Even we had help at some point. I can't guarantee it but...."

He smirks. "I'll have a chat with Obi about that later I guess."

Reveryn: I see. Our organization may not be the best, you know, lookin' professional and what not, but we have the motive and the heart. And besides, Im the only child. Those guys over there are adults. They know how to take it more than I do.

Torem: *is hit in the face with pumpkin and falls back* AAAOOOW!

Obi: My bad! I didn't mean to aim that high!

Kado smirks. "I didn't know we were playing catch with our faces." He says in a playful taunt. His eyes have a slight bit more of a luster, a faint dark yellow, definitely not gold, his happy color, but his spirits seem to have lifted a bit.

Obi: Walk it out, chick! Walk it out! Next!

Akami: *steps up*

Obi: *launches the pumpkin*

Akami: *is hit but doesn't flinch one bit*

Obi: Wow. She got breast and somehow, she didn't feel jack, nor did she flinch! She took it like a maaaaan! Ok! To the next one!

The Frontliners are outside a pin with one raging bull in it

Obi: Hope you all are familir with Dozer, cause he's gonna be quite familiar with you once he dozes himself right up yer' butthole! Objective! Stay in the ring with Dozer for 1-2 minutes. You can outrun'em or you can wrngel'em. It's either of y'all's choice. Whos first?

Reveryn: Me! *hops on over into the pin and Dozer is immediately chasing Reveryn. He leaps over Dozer in mid-air somersaults and slides under him several times. He finally lands untop of Dozer standing up in a pose* Man dude, looks like you didn't inhereits the Bull's Eye.

Obi: Time!

Reveryn: Nice playin' catch mice with ya', Dozer. *jumps of Dozer and over the pin and bows*

Everyone claps

Obi: Impressitivity. So who's next?

Kado sighs. "Might as well go..." He jumps over the fence and immediately rolls to the side, dodging the bull quickly, then grabbing the bull's horns as it tries to ram him, making it come to a dead stop, Kado only sliding backwards slightly, and manages to hold the bull still despite its angry attempts to shake him, though not without having to adjust his footing, then the bull makes another push and Kado jumps and uses the bull's back as a springboard to reach the other side of the pin as time ends.

Oni: Time! Good work, blondie. Wrestled a bull. Who's next.

''Segura gets in and instantly is having trouble wrestling the bull, but he is able to hold off. Torem gets in and she is instantly rammed into but manages to hold it by the head. Akami gets in and just as soon as Dozer charges right for her, Akami simply stretches out her fist to impact Dozer and Dozer instantly falls down unconscious upon impact.''

Reveryn: Dayum...

Obi: Man Akami, you always gotta be spoilin' shit. But anyway!

The Frontliners are buried in the ground with only their heads sticking out.

Obi: *comes out of nowhere wearing a steton, riding Dozer and he begins to bull-ride right over their heads while shooting a revolver at them* YEE-YAH, MUDA FUCKAS! WHOOO! BE RIDIN' ME A BULL! WHOOO! HOW YA' LIKE DAT AND DAT AN DIS? MAAAAN, CLINT EASTWOOD WISH HE WERE ME RIGHT NOW, WHOOOOO!

Some of the Frontliners flinch from the dirt getting in their faces and trying to keep from getting their heads trampled on.

Kado glances towards Reveryn and snarls, "I admit. This is probably one of the most humiliating things I've endured. Only thing that could possibly be worse is.... ugghh.... not even gonna mention."

Obi: *rides off* Brace yourselves, kids!

The Frontliners can feel a rumbling from the ground.

Reveryn: *looks off and sees a gust of dirt heading their way, but as he listens he knows for a fact that it's a stampede and his eyes widen in horror* Oh God NOOOOO! Oh Jesus, why? This is! We're gonna die, except Segura and Torrey. Oh dear Jesus, why did this have to happen? Worst part is i never got laid before I died! The last thing I wanted was to die a virgin! Aaaaahhh! *the stampede comes closer*

Kado groans. "Listen to you..." He quietly shrinks himself a bit, making him lower than the others.

Reveryn: *closes his eyes tight as the stampede goes right trough them. The stmapede lasts for like a minute and Reveryn slowly opens his eyes* Oh...Oh my God he let us live. God let us live! It must be his divine wish that I get laid before I die.

Kado quietly changes back before anyone can notice what exactly he changed into.

"You guys alright?" He turns to Reveryn and smirks. "Awwww you were scared!" He chuckles.

Reveryn: Mane, whatever. There is no shame in being scared. Looks up and sees Obi with a shovel*

Obi: But there is shame in screamin' like a little girl.

Reveryn: Awwww...*is ashamed*

''Digs everyone out and the Frontliners meet up at a picnic table. There's white-bread sandwhiches, hard-boiled eggs, a big jar of yolk, a glass jar of milk, 5 plates of blueish,veiny-looking beans and a box of Peanut Butter crunch.''

Obi: Dig in. *gets a cup and pours himself some yolk and drinks it*

''Everyone is abit uneasy, but Reveryn is to first to make himself a bowl of ceral and begins to eat it. Akami follows next and looks at the beans all weird and pokes st them with her fork. Segura and Torem slowlt eat on a sandwhich.''

Obi: Come one, blondie. Eat up.

Kado smirks at points at his tanish white hair. "I ain't blonde. I've got a name ya know." He picks up a sandwich and silently looks at the others, thinking quietly, but Neo does a rather annoyingly good job with keeping them out of his head.

.....Do you want something, Neo?

I was curious if you noticed with your fight with White, if you noticed something different.

''.....No. I didn't. Why?''

.....For a brief moment there, I think Ace woke up.

''You keep those stupid ideas where they belong. In your stupid head.''

....Don't we share the same head?

No. No we don't.

You just don't want to admit the possibility that you're gonna have a girl inside your head too one day!

Shut up you little brat!

Unfortunately, Neo deliberately loosens his security enough for a possible mind breach after Kado started insulting him.

''....Wait.... ....the mental shield is down... .....No.............''

''.....Neo you fucking ass. ''

Obi: *is right next to Kado staring intensively and awkwardly at his face* Who you talkin' too?

"First off get out of my face. Second of all, not your concern. .....please tell me you did not hear that whole conversation...."

Obi: Yea  heard. You suck at whisperng, dude. And you got some problems. Go ahead and shove your face-hole with food. And If you dare say you ain't hungry, swear to God imma smack you back into the 3rd Plane, got it?

Kado gives him a glare. "Hey, look. You don't have room to complain. Besides, it's not my fault I have three souls." He picks up another sandwich in annoyance.

Obi: Beyond Three Soulds?....Sounds preatty freakin' cool, but who's complainin'? You're the one complainin' on how you're wastin' time bein' here. If you're wastin' so much time, then I suppose what we stand for don't matter to you.

Torem: *sticks her pinky in the milk and tastes it* This milk is...thick.

Obi: It's because it's horse sperm. *takes another sip of his yolk*

Reveryn: *pauses as he is about another spoonful of ceral in his mouth. He slowly eats his ceral while still holding a suspiscious glare at every spoonful*

Kado lets out a curt growl. "Obi. You're not the only one who's been trying to lead an organization like this. I too made an organization like yours, and there was a time where the only base we had was the streets. But when we started up, we trained. And trained. Not just improving our hand to hand combat. Learning military strategies, learning anything we could to improve ourselves. We could speak softly, and carry a big stick. We could speak loudly, and carry a little one.

I'm just.... impatient. I'm used to real actual training methods. I don't like being talked down to either. I don't consider pumpkins in my face - Sorry Torem - to be serious training."

He closes his eyes. "Though I guess I cannot judge, considering your organization's status. I do care. I just can't tell if you treat things like a joke or are really serious about this whole thing. You're not exactly easy for me to understand."

The red glare that popped up subsides, and is instead gold now. "Can you do me a favor and answer this question? What is your motivation in all of this Obi?" His voice is different, lighter.

Obi: This sounds like the part where I would go into a flashback *dramatic close up on his face* But I reframe. I served my time, in the war. Saw many things I wish I could unsee. Done many things I wish I can undo, but wishing doesn't fix all your problems because you still remember it. The war opened my eyes to something I thought was illusionous. Out of all the things I seen, that was what I needed to see. But what I did was sadly, what I needed to do to see it. It was from that, I decided to change things. To change everything. About myself and this world. I saw this worldslowly tumblin' down like wooden blocks. All of that is because of fear and ignorance. It is a curse by our ancestors who have done the same thing. I have the power to change that. All it takes is 1. 1% out of 99% to change the world. The Junkyosha Party is that 1%. Everywhere you look, you see myth and man taking care of one another, conversing with one another. All of it in harmony. Both sides face their fears of one another and they become the best of friends. We are an image of what the entire world can be like. My motivation is to see that world surface from the ashes of all that has been layed waste upon.

Kado closes his eyes. "I see. While I may now no longer lead my organization, they would doubtless still come to help me if I had a favor. I still have good friends there. I wanted to see what your resolve was before I mentioned it, I would like to try and contact them and see about establishing a collaboration to strengthen The Party. While they are no doubt rebuilding, they still fight for the cause you do, and they once stood in your shoes. I imagine Azure would be very willing to aid you in whatever supplies, equipment, training, anything you might need. You guys could use as much help as you could get, right?

I do care about your cause. I want similar things in life. Well, I once believed that. Really I was just following Azula. She was my drive to succeed. I thought without her I didn't have anything worth fighting for. .....but.... it occurred to me that she would have wanted me to continue fighting for what I believed in. ....She would have wanted me to keep going and believing. I believe in Azula. What she stood for. ....That's why I want to help you and the Party. So I can honor that.

But in order to save her.... there are things that I must do. In order to save her, I have to find a way to weaken Phoenix. But they are strong, and I... ...I have nothing. In order to take on Phoenix, I need to make my own. I am not going to let White have her way, Obi. If I don't prepare, she'll be back and doubtless she'll have new guns and tricks up her sleeve. In that case, I need to assemble my own guns and tricks to counter her. I have two wars to fight. The war to ensure yours and Azula's dreams are fulfilled, and the war to stop Phoenix from tearing those dreams down.

....I need to act on my own autonomy, Obi. Call for me whenever you need me. But I have two wars to fight. While I can ensure that Azure can help you... ...I need time to prepare, before White makes her move again."

He opens his eyes. "Do you have objections to this?"

Obi: *looks up and shakes his head* Naw. I understand completely. You gotta take care of shit. As for the collab. thing, I might have to look-over. But if you wanna face this White chick, then feel free to learn some techniques from Akami and Segura. They may prove useful and effecient as Hell...If Hell's effecient.

"I understand. Thank you sir. If you ever make up your mind, just bring it up and I can arrange a meeting. Most likely. I'm not going to leave right away, unless we are done with training for the day. I'm not that far behind time wise." He quietly eats another sandwich, thinking.

Akami: *is squishing the 'beans' in between her teeth* What are these?

Obi: Have you notice that Dozer was.....missing something?

Akami: *thinks for a moment and her eyes widen and she instantly drops the fork in disgust*

Obi: You're gonna freakin' eat'em even if I have to shove the whole plate down your throat!

Reveryn: *gets one* Well, it can't get anyworse than this. *dips it in his bowl and throws it into his mouth and instantly begins to gag and choke* Oh God, I was so wrong! *falls to the ground* So wroooong! AAAAAH!

Kado silently stares at the food. "Note to self. Never trust Obi and food in the same sentence...." He sighs.

Obi: I don't get how you guys everyone elses cooking, but when I fix somethin', you all ain't hungry anymore. mean...what's the problem with that?

Segura: Didn't you just see Rev? He nearly choked!

Reveryn: I am chockiiiing! AAAAAAAAHHH!

Obi: Hey man, in situations where you have little to no resources, you gotta use what you have. you're gonna have to be willing to eat anything that you see that can be eaten. When I was in the war, I had absolutely nothing. sources were out, surrounded by metal and ash and rock. I haven't eaten in 1 month straight. And the only available food source...was myself.

Reveryn: Oooooh, so that's why we do the thing with the thing.

Kado starts feeling disoriented, and his vision becomes hazy. He tries to pull himself together, but his hearing starts to get far away and muffled. He blinks several times, and shakes his head, but it continues to grow worse.

Obi: What's the matter with ya' now? Seriously man, you got tons of problems.

His body goes limp and he suddenly falls on his face, unconscious.

Obi: Holy damn. He fell unconscious. Welp. Who's gonna do it?

Reveryn: Don't worry! I got his! *flips Kado over on his back and starts doing heart-compressions on Kado's chest* Come one, man.! Stay with us!

Obi: *moves Reveryn* Mane,dude. That's not how you revive people. This how you revive people. *clears his throat* BREATHE, DARN YOU! *punches Kado in the gut repeatedly while making unnecessary noises*

Kado's hair turns black and a dark aura comes over him.

"''Are you sure you want to be doing that?" ''The voice that Kado had been heard talking to speaks from Kado's own mouth, right before Kado's fist smashes into Obi's face and sends him into Reveryn, and he gets up and opens his eyes, blood red with three red lines on each side of his face, a total of six overall. He lets out a dark chuckle.

"Oh, Kado's not at home right now. Something's playing whack a mole with his memories, so while we're waiting for him to get with the program, let's see how many of you I can kill!"

Obi: *dodges his punch* You can't kill us! Well, you can't kill three of us, but you understand, you black-haired bastard! *shakes his fist at Neo*

A deadly smirk crosses his face. "What, you mean the two angel hybrids and you? Heh. Then I'll just kill the weak ones. Also. It so pisses me off when people give Kado credit for what happened in London.... uggh... maggots... so who's first? Man Kado hates so many of you guys, I have no idea where to start!"

He turns toward Reveryn with a sadistic grin. "''How about you? I'll rip you to shreds in about five seconds!" ''Neo lunges at him at blinding speed.

Reveryn: *rolls forward, dodging Neo*

Obi: Remember Reveryn! You suck at hand-to-hand!

Reveryn: Not really a bright move to tell him that!

Obi: I wasn't telling him, I was telling you!

Neo smirks. "''I'm gonna have fun with this - Urgh!" ''He chokes out, as half of his hair turns white and he crumbles.

"''So you are awakening, you little.....! Stay out of this, Ace!" ''He snarls.

Reveryn: Oh damn...*crouches down on his feet, ready for whatever happens*

"''.....Leave........them.....alone.........don't.........harm.......them......" ''A small voice that takes a moment to register as feminine counters Neo's own voice.

"Tch! Leave before I kill you! He isn't here to protect your ass this time!"

"No......."

The black hair goes completely white, and he collapses on the ground in a heap. Kado is breathing, but he doesn't make any sign of activity again, and is unresponsive, even to a punch.

Reveryn: *goes up to Kado and drags him back towards the others* What should we do now?

Obi: Hmmmm. *takes a bull testicle and drowns it in horse sperm. He takes it out and shoves it in Kado's mouth and moves his mouth up and down mashing his food up* Now. We wait.

''"Big sister, where are you going?!" ''A young Kado cries out. The taller white haired girl stops and pats his small head.

"I told you didn't I, little brother? I have to leave the village for a while. I'll be back in a few weeks."

Kado pouts. "But Shinwa....! You were going to show me some martial arts! You promised!"

Shinwa smiles and pats his head. "I promise, when I come home next time, I show you the best I've got. Ok?"

Kado reclucantly smiles. "....Ok..... sis.... .....Come back soon!"

These are...

Memories?

For hours, he relives his childhood, unaware of the outside world outside his consciousness.

''Everyone is sitting next to a fire, while Reveryn sits next to Kado's body. Akami comes up behind him and touches his shoulders.''

Akami: He'll wake up soon. Just hold on a little bit longer.

Reveryn: Don't have to tell me twice.

He stirs, though faintly.

"''No...... no....... no...... ........I won't....... I won't...... won't..... accept...." ''They barely manged to hear him mutter.

Obi: *walks up to them* I wonder if we stmop on his comatose body, he'll wake up. *begins to stopm on Kado's stomach* Wake! The Fuck! UP!

Reveryn: *stops Obi* Stop, stop, stop! Calm down, man! He'll wake.

Obi: He better, before I go all Scribblenaut all over his face. *goes back over to the fire*

He suddenly wakes, letting out a howl of agony, quaking uncontrollably and the look in his eyes is demented denial and despair, and he curls up, gasping uncontrollably, as though he had just witnessed murder or something. One eye is solid red, the other solid gold.

Reveryn: Oh fuck happened to you, man?

Akami: Kado, listen. You are in control. The others dont control. They maybe separate but they all share you're body and you're mind. Let them know who stands out.

"''She.... .....she.... ....she.....! .....I.....I..... .....remember..... ......everything!!!" ''He begins to sob uncontrollably.

Akami: There are things in our lives that we wish to know, but once we know them, we wish they had stayed buried. But it's over and done with and you got nothing more but to move on and make something of right now.

He doesn't respond, but the shadows around him seem to take the shapes of people. A little boy and what looks like his sister chatting, and White choking Kado are just one of them.

"........She's my..... sister..... I loved her..... I hated her..... I love her..... I hate her.... White..... I don't know anything anymore...." He croaks.

He clutches his head. "I can't even distinguish my emotions from theirs anymore.... am I Neo.... am I Ace? .....or am I nothing but a shell.....?" He stops crying, but is still curled up in agony, his eyes dull and lost much of the energy and life they had, as tormented as they were, at least they showed some sort of life to them.

He cups his head in his hands in misery. "Who is Kado......? Is he a man who tried to make a life for himself despite his past? Is he a monster who only knows destruction? Is he a miserable being incapable of protecting anything? ....Is he just a shell that has long since broken? .....I don't know anymore.... .....I don't know myself at all...."

Akami: Then figure yourself out. Don't let the past define who you are. Let the past teach you what you're not suppose end up. if you don't know who you are now, you got your entire life to be the person you truly want to be.

Reveryn: Ask any of us. We never had a life before the Party. It sucked just as much as yours. You gotta know there are more of us that are going through what you are now.

Akami: *hugs Kado* And youcan always start over here. We're all about changing not only the world, but ourselves. You can find a new meaning here with us.

Kado starts in surprise at Akami's touch, but doesn't resist, his red and gold eyes both changing to a deep blue mixed with tiny flakes of gold very slowly. Silent tears roll down his face, and he says in a very quiet, broken voice, ".....thank you....."

Akami: When you are part of the Party, you are part of family. Though there maybe complications from here and there, we'll find away to make it work.

Reveryn: Conflict Resolution.

"......" Kado starts to fall asleep in Akami's arms, pain still in his eyes, but there is a hint of calm to him as well as he drifts off.

Akami: Sleep well, Kado.

Reveryn: Night bro.

Obi: *is eating a plate of bull testicles* Conflict Resolved.

Reveryn: So what now, Dad?

Obi: I start planning shit. I need to get you into The M.C.C.P. Akami, Segura. You two will be taking turns training Kado. I'll give ya' 6 days to teach as much as you can. He might need it once he starts his group. Before then I need to send him on some missions.

Reveryn: Anything else?

Obi: Oh shit! The President's speech is tomorrow! Rev, I need you to get over there and watch out for anything suspicierous.

Reveryn: Sure thing, man.

Obi: Also need you to check on the new chick.

Reveryn: Sure thing. *gets up and starts walking back to The Slums*

Naomi is giving a bowl of soup to a homeless man. "There you go, around the right temperature, like you requested. Hope you like it!" He tails twitch and curl around behind her, ears picking up the various sounds of the Slums. A little kid grabs her tail and she goes red.

"U-U-Uhhhh, p-p-please don't grab my tail like th-that! F-F-eels weird when people GAH-Grab my tails!" The little girl only laughs and starts petting her black furred tail more.

"Uuuuuuuuuu....." Naomi moans.

Reveryn: Hey. *picks up the little girl by the back of the shirt* When someone tells you to stop, you stop, ok?

Kid: Sorry Rev.

Reveryn: Now go on let her do her work. *puts the girl down and she scurries off and looks at Naomi* Well look at this cutie. *smiles* Good first day?

Naomi's ears are now folded down as she's blushing from his statement and the sensation of being petted.

"A-A.... Ah, y-yes, thank you... I have been doing well.... ...how about you all? I heard you guys went off somewhere." She says timidly.

Reveryn: Oh yea, just some training in a field. My body is abit sore. We're gonna be making a few adjustments, seeing I have to work under cover at The M.C.C.P. So it's likely you'll be taking my place.

"Me? Taking your place? Are you sure? What about someone else?"

Reveryn: Everyone else really isn't qualified. Besides, Dad wouldn't have chose you if it wasn't the right decision. *nudges Naomi with his elbow* I think you can do it.

She looks away. "I-I see. I'll respect his judgement... ....do you really think so?" She says with an air lacking in confidence.

Reveryn: I know so. You got the Frontliners, they'll teach you. You also gotta believe you can do it too. Sure, are way of training may not look effecient or like training at all, but it works. And sure it maybe hard, but it's worth it. I just know just by looking at you, you'll make great Frontliner, but you gotta but in the effort to prove it.

She briefly nods. "Ok... I'll try. ....Did you really call me cutie? ....I've not been called that before.... ....except by Noriko...." She says quietly.

Reveryn: Yes I did. You wanna know why? *whispers in her ear* Because it's true.

She makes a small squeak and her ears pop up straight with her face blushing again.

"O-oh.... t-thank.... y-y-ou?" She stutters.

Reveryn: No problem. You don't have to be shy around me. Out of everyone, I'm the easiest to talk to. Also never asked you're name. What is it?

She has a bit of trouble looking him in the eye. "N-Naomi."

Reveryn: *smiles* A cute name for an even cuter girl. My name is Reveryn. Some abbreviate my name to Rev and occasionally around Christ mas time, they call my Elfy, Santa's Little Helper.

Naomi leans against the nearby wall to subtly hold herself up. "It-It's nice to m-meet you, Reveryn...."

Reveryn: Naomi, are you ok? You seem abit off?

She makes a brave attempt to smile to disguise the fact she's feeling dizzy from the situation. "What are you talking about? I'm f-fine!"

Reveryn: Look. I know it's alot to take in since you just got her last night. But I you'll get through. *nudges Naomi with his knuckles* Know you can.

She looks at the wall, her ears folding down as she thinks to herself. "....."

Reveryn: Let me know if you wan to talk. Take care of yourself, Naomi. *walks off*

Naomi dwells on past memories of her life from her home town, slight tears rolling down her face, remembering the brutal beatings she received for being a Yokai hybrid.

"I'm disgusting...." She whispers to herself, echoing the words she was called as she was beaten.

A hand can be felt on her shoulder

Reveryn: No you are not. If if you were disgusting, we would've never let you come here. If you were disgusting, I wouldn't have said that you are cute. Listen, what other people say shouldn't define us or make us who we are. The reason why they say what the say is because they never gotten to know the real you. I know what they have done to you before has plagued your mind, but here we would and will never treat you like that. Ever.

She flinches hard when he puts his hand on her shoulder, and she momentarily has a flash of fear in her eyes and almost pulls away instinctively.

Reveryn: Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you.

After a gasp or two of panic, she shakily calms. "I...I... I thought for a moment you were.... ....father.... ....hitting me again...." She gasps, shaking.

Reveryn: Hm. You too, huh? Daddy issues?

She sinks to the ground, her tails wrapping around her as her ears flatten tightly against her head, curling up and squeezing herself into a small ball, resting her head on one of her tails and burying her face in it.

"....Everyone hated me... even mother... ....she wasn't a yokai nor my father.... ....they said it is a curse on the village that causes every third child in a set of three to become a Yokai from conception... the other villages called my village the Yokai Village... ....I was lucky.... some of the people there made their Yokai children slaves or pets and sold them like animals... some were forced into their animal forms and never were able to become humanoid again... ....some were just flat out killed... ....but everyone beat me... ....called me ugly, stupid, mutt, disgusting, animal...."

She sniffs, beginning to cry. "I was only left alone physically if I retracted my tails and ears and never showed them.... but they still mocked me... just some animal pretending to be a girl, pretending to be a human...."

Reveryn: Why be human? Why not be you? You see, I've been in that situation before. My father is High Ruler of of Elven kind. He was a control freak, wanting to rule everything that was in his domain, including his subjects. When I was a kid, he would always teach me what it took to be a ruler. But his ways were unjust and my father was just greedy and a liar. Using manipulating words and points just to get what he wants. He always pushed me to be victorious in all I do that was within his profession. Me, I just loved to shoot an arrow. Liked to be around my home that was the trees that was always drawing me away from my home in the palace. the great breeze, the creatures that lived there and the colors of the living plants. As I grew, so did my rebellion towards him ruling over me, mocking me for taking up archery over becoming a ruler. He would always talk about me to his council friends on how I chose such a childish life in respecting nature and hunting. He would often call me a failure and even more often that he would have my people shun me from all places within his domain. Sad then there was one day me and him got into an actual fight....All that hate I had for him,his hate for me all because i was the one thing he could not control....I nearly won that fight...

"....." She continues crying, remaining curled up, wrapped up amongst her tails.

Reveryn: But enough about me. They hurt you're kind,yes. But don't let them win. The more you think of yourself like that, the more they'll ruin you to the point it will be true. I don't want that to be true. Because I know it isn't.

Naomi slowly lifts her head out of her tail and meekly looks up at him, her eyes quivering, though her chin remains on top of the tail.

Reveryn: Even thought I have only known you for about 5-6 minutes, but I know you are a strong girl. Strong like a fire, that can never burn out, but you're fire hasn't started up yet. But I know you can. And once you're fire starts to burn, so will your past burn into ashes. Never foget that you're in a place that you will never have to worry about getting hurt again. Neither by me or anyone else.

She looks up at him in confusion, her ears have lifted up slightly, and she gets to her feet, though he can see the wet spots on her jacket from where she was crying, her tails are now curled tightly around her.

"I.... don't..... understand...." She says quietly as tears still roll down her cheeks. "How... am I... strong....? Why would you... place such faith in.... me....? Why are you being so nice? So kind? So... so... so..." She starts to sink again, and she hugs herself tightly in her emotional distress. "....No boys like me... they all tear my hair, and beat me, mock me, hate me, call me names, make me feel like animal...." She shakes again, worse than before.

Reveryn: Because that's what happened to me before. I never had friends neither. They fear what those who look different from them and treat them like something lesser than they are. Different isn't a bad thing. I put so much faith in you, because I know you're worth it. You've never been given the chance, so I'm going to give to you now. As for me being nice, I'm basically the happiest dude here. I brighten up everyone's day when no one else is in the mood to be happy. I'm the one who brings a smile to peoples faces, a light to people's hearts. But in this case, I'm being nice to you because I care.

She leans against the wall, trembling. ".....Care....." She looks away, her scarlet eyes trembling lightly, widened with her emotional turmoil.

Reveryn: Yes, I care. I know no one else cared for you back then, but I'm giving you all the care you should have had. *grabs Naomi, turns her towards him, and embraces her*

She lets out a gasp and her eyes go wide while her pupils shrink, her ears point straight up, and the tension in her tails completely drops, leaving them to flop to the floor. He can feel her heartbeat increase in strength and speed significantly. Her breath is drawn in in a sharp intake of air and held tightly in her chest, short tiny rapid breaths the only sound she makes.

Reveryn: You are not who they say you are. Because I know for a fact that you're unique. And don't let anyone else tell you otherwise.

She is still shellshocked, but makes a tiny nod, an over all overwhelmed with shock expression still clear on her face, still making small breaths.

Reveryn: *breaks off the embrace* You are special, Naomi. I just hate it when people don't see their own value. You are worth it, Naomi. Trust me.

"O-O-Ok...." Her ears flatten a bit and she looks away nervously, before walking off, her tails and ears retracting, but he can swear she's doing everything in her power to avoid running.

Reveryn: I know it's getting late, so I'll go and let you do your thing. Just remember you're free from the past here. You don't have to be scared anymore. *walks off*

Naomi retreats to the girl's cabin and quietly opens the door and immediately heads for her bunk, faceplanting on the mattress as soon as possible.

Torem: Tiresome first day, Naomi?

"Mmmppph...." She nods her head. Her tails and ears grow out, and she lets out another, more frustrated moan.

Torem: Well it is the first day. You'll get used to it. *puts a band-aid over her nose*

Akami: *enters the room* Finally put Kado in the bed.

Torem: What was with him today? He seemed to be having some problems. It looked like multiple personality disorder.

Akami: Their are more persons within Kado's being. Dad sad we can postpone it, but we can stop it completely. I just hope he'll get better for his own sake.

Torem: Intense day of training. Still can't believe Reveryn's gonna be leaving for The M.C.C.P. I hope he's plays it safe when he's there. He does tend to be playfully impulsive.

Akami: He wouldn't be chosen for it if he wasn't ready for it. Besides, he's a big boy and he can take care of himself. He's got all he needs.

Torem: I suppose you're right. He did do alot better at training today.

Akami: He sure did. I feel proud of him.

Torem: What was the deal with Obi and Segura?

Akami: *eyes narrow* I don't know...

Torem: Maybe a foreshadow?

Akami: Maybe...*looks up at Naomi* you doin' good, Naomi?

She lets out a low moan. "Mmmmmmppph......" She lifts her head and looks towards Akami with a gloomy eye. "No...."

Akami: Why what happened?

Torem: Must've been those dang children. Swear those kids are annoying. Hope they get sick and die.

Akami: Torem! What the hell?!

Torem: Oh..sorry..I said that out loud...

Akami: Yea. You did. *turns to Naomi* So what's the matter?

She sighs, closing her eyes. ".....I... don't like my ears and tails...." She says quietly, looking away.

"...So Kado attacked you, right? ....Did you guys ignore his eyes or attack him while he was in a weak state or something?"

Akami: He tried to attack Reveryn, but something was happening to him after he lunged. His hair and I think his eye were changing colors. It must've overloaded, because he passed out afterwards.

"That would be Neo and his other self. Neo is his rage, the girl, she is his weakness. Or you could look at it as his negativity and his positivity. Because of how strong Neo is, Kado is easily influenced even further into rage and hatred, but he's rarely happy or even at peace. That's why she's childlike and frail. He takes the form of her when he's near death or extremely weak, or has lost all will. ...Normally this kind of thing wouldn't be so much of a problem, were it not for Azula. She's the only thing that could calm his mind and stablize him when he was undergoing trauma. Without her, he has nothing to control his dual nature. He doesn't have anyone he feels he can always count on to be there and to help him with his pain. ....Or at least, no one as close to him as Azula. She could comfort him and ease his mind with her mere presence, she comforted him and protected him, and it gave him a stability he could trust his whole being with. ....But.... she's gone now. And so is his stablity."

Naomi blinks. "How did you guys make him calm down anyway? Neo is known to rampage for hours. And even if he was subdued by his will, he usually is still very unstable. How'd you do it?"

Akami: Obi has always told us 'Hugs fixes everything'. It is sad that he had to loose someone who meant that much to him. I wonder if we can fill in that gap?

Naomi smiles. "Well for starters, as a childhood friend between me and Noriko, who was probably like a big sister to the poor tyke, even though she's younger, we could easily calm him down through something as mere as putting him in our lap and hugging him. Despite how dark and gloomy he's become, I don't doubt it still pacifies him. He was always timid and needing comfort, so it probably soothes him more than ever. I'd fulfil that role but... ....I'm not strong enough to always be there for him when he needs me. And that's more than anything he'd need to help fill in the wound in his heart. Someone he can always depend upon no matter the situation who will always have his back to help him. ...Me and Noriko used to be able to, but we aren't strong enough now to help. You guys might be though."

Akami: Maybe....It never hurts to try. Hey, where's Mavis?

The girl with green hair walks in and gets in bed

Akami: Well hello to you too.

In Obi's Quarters

Reveryn: Knockitym knock, knock.

Obi: *is writing* Come on in, boy.

Reveryn: Naomi is doing quiet well for her first day. She's done what has been asked of her and everything.

Obi: Took you alot longer for you to tell me about that than usual. What took you so damn long?

Reveryn: She was going under some emotional trauma. But I was able to calm her down.

Obi: Good. Can't have people commitin' sewercide down here.

Reveryn: Whatcha rightin', Obi? You're life story.

Obi: You wish wouldn'tyou? But no. Come here, boy.

Reveryn: *looks over Obi's shoulders and sees that he'srighting out a form. A registration form*

Obi: You are going to infiltrate The M.C.C.P as a agent in training. Your name is Beasley Larkin, ok? you are a wood elf and an astounding in the are of archery. You only signed up to hone your skills and bring your kind to captivity. You are of age 17 and you way 130 pounds and ahave a medium-muscular build of a kid your age. While you're there, you need to get real acquainted with your workers, so that you can be in on all the secret stuff that'll surely destroy the myths. Once you find them, stick some C-4 bombs on them and blow them the fuck up. But while you're there, you are still obligated to complete the missions they give you. Give out no hint that you are related to us, ok. Show no sign of it.

Reveryn: Yes sir.

Obi: Ok then, you leave next afternoon.

Reveryn: Afternoon? That pretty freakin' quick.

Obi: I know right. That's like right after the Prez's speech.

Reveryn: and I gotta go to that too...Ughhhh. *exits the room*

Solidified
Obi: *bust through the boy's cabin ringing a bell* Wake up,bastards. Time to get all progressive and shit. *walks over to the girl's cabin and bust down there door too* Waky, waky, ladies. Time to get ta' work.

Segura: *Goddamn it. *gets dressed*

Torem: Wish we could sleep in like everyone else. *gets dressed*

Kado doesn't initially wake up, but rather slowly comes to, eventually opening his eyes, which are now grey colored.

"....uggh.... my..... .....head....." He groans.

Obi: Man, you guys are some slow mother fuckers. Don't make me bring out ma' whoopin' stick. I be turn dat ass red once I get ma' whoopin stick.

Everyone gets up dressed and lines up

Obi: Busy shit today, guys. Busy shit. Today Kado, you are gonna go under initiation and afterwards be trained. The Five-tailed Fox chick over here will be taking Rev's place as he is leaving today. She will be subjuErgated to training first, then afterwards she'll under go the initiation to. Then we're gonna watch The President speak his words of blasphemous motivation.

Kado blinks lightly. "Initiation?" He says faintly.

Naomi doesn't have her tails and ears out today, but is in her combat attire, and her Slayer Firehawk is on her belt as always. Her crimson eyes are brighter and have more energy than yesterday.

Obi: Yea initiation. Today you're gonna be part of the family. So onward. Since the crap with the elemental people happened, our underground routes have been compromised. I have already sent people to start construction, since all the other gangs might be desperate enough to come here and try to salvage our material to fix themselves up or to just point blank attack since, you know...we keep beating their asses. With us against the Under Empire and both sides taking a massive hit from this event. there is gonna be a flippin' war on our hands. So I'm gonna need you guys to keep watch for any suspicious activity going on while construction is being done.

Kado nods. "I understand. I'll do my best. If I may ask, may I also assist in the training of Naomi? It's usually best if a Slayer trains with a Slayer in regards to our Slayers and our powers resulting from them. If I can learn something, and if she can, and we train together, it may help us out more."

Obi: How else was I gonna train her? You both are newbies, so newbies train with newbies.

Kado shrugs. "So what's the initiation? Do I have to walk through hot coals? Prove myself in some way likely involving high mortality rate?"

Obi: You'll see. ALL YOU BASTARDS, GATHER 'ROUND!

Everyone who lives in the Slums make their way towards where the Frontliners are they surround them

Obi: Today, is the day a new member of the family is admitted as he has showed his worth to us and shares the belief of which we stand for. This guy right here is one gloomy mother fucker, but he is strong in the bitchiest way possible, but that aint stoppin' him from being one of us. Lend me your arm.

Kado holds out his arm, once again leashing his tongue from unnecessary comment.

Obi: *dig his finger into Kado's arm and rips out a blue vein, ripping it until it reaches Kado's elbow joint and he pulls out hisw knife and cuts it* This is the symbol of getting through the toughest of times! To force through what hurts you. Now eat of your vein.

He eats it, though negative energy sparks about him as Neo's presence comes surging into his mind, ready to tear Obi apart, but Kado managed to hold him off and when finished resists the urge to gag and covers his wound with his hand tightly.

Obi: Welcome, Brother Kado to The Party! *blows a birthday whistle in his face*

Everyone claps and cheers and pats Kado on the back and they go to the Hut of The Slum to get some breakfast.

Akami: *takes Kado's arms and pours some alcohol and hydrogen peroxide on his wound and bandages it*

Kado sucks in a large breath when she does and lets out a hiss, venomously holding back a now berserk Neo from ripping the control over his mind.

"T-Thanks.... A-Akami....!" He says between furiously clenched teeth, both from pain and from holding back Neo. After a minute he loses his tension, breathing heavy. "....Thought I was going to go ape shit on him when he did that...." He lets out a long sigh, his heart still pounding.

Akami: *smirks* We all thought so too. *shows him a stitched-up line under neath her arm*

Kado is quiet for a moment, then quietly says, ".....Shut up and don't ever come back you.... ....I have enough to deal with as is.... ....yes I'm going to say it. No you can't watch.... ugghh...."

Kado puts a hand over his face. "You have no idea how annoying it is to have another voice in your head, and still be sane."

He sighs. "....Akami..... ....I.... I want to apologize. About my attitude that first day... ....I was a dick. ...I should have been more respectful of you all. ....I also want to thank you for last night. .....I don't want to imagine what would have happened if I wasn't stopped and he...." He stops, his body tightening with the thought of just how bad things could have gone.

"....I probably should give you a better explanation about what happened....." He says quietly.

Akami: Not everything needs to be explained and respect doens't come easy.. But that doesn't mean we'll still won't help with what you're going through. You are part of The Party now. And go through these problems together, alright?

Kado sighs. "Alright... ....But I want you to know.... ....I don't know for sure what triggered it or why it happened but... ...all of a sudden, I began reliving memories I didn't know I had. And not like just seeing them. Every sensation I felt.... the taste of my mother's cooking, the pat on my head from my father... the sounds, the way the wind blew... ....I felt and experienced it all. ....I remembered everything. ....Including the fact that one of my sisters, Shinwa.... ....who I didn't even know existed.... is actually White.... ....she was.... so kind, so loving, she adored and looked after me with such a passion.... it was a genuine, powerful sisterly love.... .....and when I came to, my memories, my present and my past collided and with that came the truth.... ....to live through that... it feels almost as bad as the time Phoenix betrayed me.... it tore me up and I didn't know if I was going to go back... .....but.... ............thank you.... for being there."

He closes his eyes, his head bowing and his forehead coming to a stop in his cupped hands.

Akami: It's hard, isn't it? Relieving a life you didn't know you had and you ask yourself, 'when did t all go wrong?' Good things don't last forever in this life, Kado. Neither do bad things last. It's a cycle. Tiresome cycle. Cycle that can be hard to break. but it's possible. We just have to believe and put in the effort.

"....I thought I told you to stay out....." He say quietly. He lifts his head and sighs.

"I don't know what it is, but now both of them are awake and want my attention.... stupid kids.... I wish they would just leave me alone...."

Akami: Maybe some training will get your mind of them. *pats Kado on the back* Come on, let's go.

Kado smiles weakly. "Alright.... ....but please no more of the water troughs."

Akami: *smiles* I can't guarantee that.

They both make it to the dojo where they first met.

Akami: Alright. The First thing i'm gonna teach you is how to trip up your opponent with combos.

"Alright... I did learn a great number of martial arts in my time in Phoenix. I can always learn more though. Doesn't help when I'm fighting people who are faster than me and can flatten me like a truck though.... But alright, let's start."

Akaimi: When you fight you're opponent, you want to take as much advantage of their open parts. And once you're in, you don't stop. For example, like this *she throws a slow punch at Kado but it doesnt touch his face. Then she takes her right foot and sweeps Kado's right ankle* That right there would make you do the splits and everyone's urge s to do this. *is about to kick Kado straight in the pelvic but abruptly stops* That is the first example. You hit where you;re enemy would expect you to hit them, then you go to for the places you wouldn't rarely go to attack.

Kado nods. "I understand that well enough. Deception, or slight of hand is sometimes the key to victory when brute strength isn't enough. I know that well."

Akami: Ok. Now try something on this dummy here.

Obi: IT AINT A DUMMY! ITS A SEX MODEL!

Akami: Yea...that's what it is...but go ahead and try it anyway.

Kado sighs. "We really need to talk about certain.... issues.... but whatever...." He pauses, and his hair almost stands on end.

"Hey Akami, weird question. You any good with scent sensory abilities?" He starts sniffing.

Akami: Yea. Why? Someone on their way?

Kado lets out a growl. "''Her.......!" ''His voice is mixed with Neo's.

Akami: Oh, The white chick. Hey Obi! Someone is about to poop on The Party!

Obi: WHAT?! OH HELL NO! HOLD UP! *jumps up to the very room above the Slums and pulls down a sledge hammer* Ohhhh. I dare them to come up in here uninvited. I dare them. I triple. Dog. Dare them to come up in here like they own the place! Dis is my house! No one be bustin' up in my house or they gonna be busted up the ass!

"About that," says a voice, echoing throughout the area. "My intention was not to arrive at this specific point, but I guess finicky ancient magic is finicky..." The owner of the voice materializes, appearing to be a man with messy hair, hazel eyes behinds glasses and several strange glyphs floating around him. His attire suggests that he is a doctor of sorts, though he appears to be more casual than formal. Appearing beside him, partially dazed, are two two cloaked figures. "We aren't here to cause trouble, only to speak to the one called Kado... and if need be, stop him from going berserk in the next few moments."

Obi: I wouldn't blame him! Showing you're ugly mug around here without an invite! You know, I hate people like you who think you can just waltz up in here and thinks it's aaaaalllright! *pokes at Volmond's chest with every word* People. Like. You. just. Piss. Me. Off. Now. Imma give ya' the count ta' five to get up on outta' here or imma sledgehammer you're ass.

"And your sledgehammer will shatter like glass," replies the doctor, unflinching, "As I said, we are here simply to speak and not cause harm. If that is above your capacity to understand, then please get an interpreter or translator to explain what I am saying... Look, as much as you dislike me and as much as I'd prefer to be spending quality time with my partner, this is a rather important matter and I will not let what needs to happen be interrupted by someone who thinks with him weapon instead of his head."

Obi: Sadly, for you....it took you 15 seconds to say all that. *swings the hammer into an upppercut to Volmond's jaw and sends him flying straight up through the roof. He looks at Akami* Make sure you get Torem to fix that. *turns to Kado* He's all yours. *walks off caring his sledgehammer along his back*

One of the cloaked figures rushes up as Obi swings the sledgehammer and shatters it with a swipe of their hand, then roundhouse kicks him away from Volmond.

"Stop." Her voice says quietly, familiar in general tone, but softer, quieter, gentle. Before any of them can react, she leaps forward with great speed, yet lands as soft as a feather in front of Kado and Akami.

"I do not wish to fight. I want to talk." Small, kind violet eyes glow faintly under her hood.

Obi: THEN TALK SOMEWHERE ELSE! OH MY GOD, WHAT IS IT GONNA TAKE FOR YOU ALL TO UNDERSTAND THAT I DON'T LIKE HOME INTRUDERS?

Volmond thanks Shinwa before addressing Obi, "Maybe you should use words more often, rather than force." He looks at Kado, "If it is more favorable to you, we can take this elsewhere- a location of your choice."

Obi: Words don't work now more, dumbass. Looks like them glasses made ya' more dumb. Hurry up, and get the floppit out of here.

The woman lifts her hood up, revealing the face of Shinwa, the sister Kado had known all those years ago, and while similar, also very much different from White, none of the strength exists behind her presence.

"Kado... I wish to speak to you..."

Kado draws his sword, and she shrinks back. "White, what do you think you're doing here?!" He says, furiously clenching his teeth.

".....White.....?" She says with great confusion in her voice, her eyes appear frightened by Kado's aggression.

Obi: *facepalm* Oh God Damn. Don't tell me. She got herself some amnesia. Don't even know her own dang name. That so shameful.

"Coming from the writhing mass of testosterone and damaged brain cells, that is saddening and quite incorrect," says the doctor before addressing Kado, "The one you refer to as White is a completely different person as of recently. She and Shinwa were split from each other after... a certain event. Shinwa lost most of her memories while White kept them and all of the malice andevil you associate with her. Effectively, this is the good half of your sister while White is the evil side, whom resides in the fortress. Now, please calm yourself and what rages within you or else I may have to do something rather unpleasant that I'd rather not have to do." The doctor materializes several scalpels in his right hand, a silent warning indicating his his position should Kado or the others choose to attack.

Obi: Bring it on, fool! See this! *shows Volmond the long line of stitches under his arm* We know no pain. We ripped out our veins and ate them! You see this! *shows Volmond a whole bunch of stitches on his forhead and along the rest of his head* I lost my entire frontal lobe! And look at me know! Jumpin' and jivin'! *does some classic dancing* Such empty threats coming from a nerd who's trying to pass of like some kind of genius.

"That sums up your lack of intelligence quite aptly," say Volmond, completely unaffected by the sight. He briefly contemplates phasing a Skofnung Scalpel into Obi's heart and another through his intestinal tract, but dismisses it. "Pain? You know nothing of pain. Absolutely nothing. Those scars may mean something to you, but in the eyes of a person who has weathered far worse, your scars and pain are akin to minor scrapes that barely breach the skin... And my 'threats' aren't empty, I'm simply not in the mood to commit large scale genocide or do anything of the like. I could, but I won't because I have nothing against the people here and because it isn't necessary to shed unneeded blood when all I wish to do is facilitate a conversation between Shinwa and Kado. Whether or not you attack is ultimately up to you, but should you do so, you will not like the end result."

Kado snarls, "Obi, quiet!" His eyes are red, glaring at Shinwa.

"....Prove to me what you say is true. That you are not White. What will you let me do to test that?" He says coldly to her.

"Anything!" She pleads.

".....Good." His sword is suddenly against her chest. "If you're a spirit..... ....then this won't kill you." He suddenly stabs her where her heart would be, and just as quickly pulls it out, a glowing substance pouring out of it as a result, while she lets out a scream of horrid pain.

"I see. You speak the truth then." He says coldly, as she clutches her chest in great pain. "A spirit has no innards, therefore no blood, just pure energy. Alright then.... I'll hear what you have to say..... ......Shinwa." The wound in her chest slowly heals while she gasps.

"V-V-olmond... ....d-don't..." She says as she coughs hard. "If what you've told me is true.... I deserve far worse....." She says this as Volmond tenses.

Kado sheathes Dark Slayer. "Besides.... I wanted you to know what it was like.... you did it to me after all..." He says quietly.

A black mark forms on her chest, a sigil.

".....I.... ....wish to offer.... ....my blade to you.... I want.... to set things right.... I don't remember them, but you do, the world does.... ....they're still my crimes.... ....I want to offer myself.... and this sword.... to your cause...." She presents her Light Slayer, and Kado starts.

"....Two.... ....then that means...." Kado closes his eyes.

Obi: So what? He thinks that these scars are all I have to show for it? I got mental scars, fool. Those scars can never heal. I know pain. You haven't. Not like us. You didn't have to risk your life for others did you? *takes the scapel out and tears open his arm and pulls out a vein* This. Means nothing to me. I had to give up my sanity to survive. you didn't have to, did you? Never had to try to hold on to your life? I did At the cost of being human. *eats his vein and sucks on his own blood. After a moment, Obi begins to under go a monstrous change as his body begins to shift around the place. his entire structure begins to mutilate and he begins to grow fur and rib cage sticks out of his body. After the transformation he is staring straight into the doctors eyes with his monstrous face* you didn't have to give up your soul, did you? To turn into something monstrous and labeled a psycho? To have blood on you're hands and never regret it? But just as soon something bad happens, you instantly hate everyone. I had to do all that and much more. So if anything, you lack the understanding of pain. For me, It no longer bothers me...I been through all of it already. I suggest you hurry up and get out of here before I get the taste of Mytho blood tonight...

Volmond's eyes flare red and the air becomes exceedingly thin, lacking in oxygen. Volmond is completely unaffected by the change, but that isn't necessarily shared by the others.

"You, Obi, know absolutely nothing about the hell I went through long before even your ancestors were born. I know pain far more than you ever will, human," seethes the doctor as feathers begin to form on his face and his hair begins to move like flames. "You claim to know physical pain, try having each of your nerves ripped out while molten lead is slowly injected into your veins and having your bones ground into dust while your skin is being peeled away! You say you know mental and pyschological pain, try having the one you love get defiled and killed before your very eyes only for her to revive and the cycle repeat uncle your sanity is nothing but a thread, try having your body ripped apart and put back together with a hundreds of thousands of other organisms and species connected to you because of something's twisted definition of 'fun', try having to endure your mind being torn open by another being while your body suffers a similar fate! Try having the one you loved die because you couldn't defend them and your soul torn from your body! You have less than an inkling of an understanding of what happened to me, so shut up with your baseless, idiotic, no good damned assumptions! You think that what you've become is terrifying!? I've become something far worse and you know what, I got over that! I got over my hatred for the world, for the universe, for all of existence and decided that I would focus on getting rid of the one who put me through hell and much, much worse to prevent a similar thing from happening! I AM a monster, one that deserves nothing more than to remain in endless solitude for the rest of eternity. The amount of blood on these hands of mine is enough to drown this planet all planets within this solar system. YOU are the one with no understanding of pain and you never will understand it beyond the miniscule extent you have." By this point Volmond has tears of anger and grief coming from his eyes., but he pays them no heed as he shoves Obi away. The air around him crackles with a dangerous energy. "Threaten me again and you'll regret it in your final moments..."

Obi: *is unharmed by the changes* I regret nothing...There is nothing you can do to me that'll make me feel anything...

Suddenly the two are enveloped in a pure blackness, and between them is a dimly lit figure with an outline of red.

"Enough. Here's a compromise.... if either one of you opens your mouth again while Kado is talking, I will make you both relive those dark hours of your existences, that and more!"

Behind the figure is a massive wall of seething energy, which seems to be flowing in and out of it freely. Just the sight of it fills them with dread.

The figure opens pure red eyes. "As the Kanjō God of all that is darkness and negativity... I can make you experince the pain of all history... from beginning to now.... This is your only warning."

To prove his point, from the seemingly endless wall two massive large hands made of the energy appear forth and loom heavily over them.

"Let them talk. Your temper tantrums are childish. Be a man and cease your loud mouth temper long enough to let two broken souls make amends. ....Kado.... ....no.... perhaps us three need it more than anything else right now. Now... that said.... be quiet, both of you. I don't want to hear another word about it, because I have to put up with it later!"

''Fine, but your promise does not bother me in the slightest, Warlord. ''Volmond barely cocks an eye at the god, but gives a faint nod. ''Just know, if you haven't already forseen it, a calamity is in your futures. As the future isn't easy for me to peer into, I can't tall you what it is, but take heed anyways.''

Obi: The future is unknown. All it takes is one to change it.

Reveryn: What's good guys? Sorry if I came in unannounced. I came back from taking down the Spanish...Mafia...*looks at everyone* Am I supposed to be doing something about this or just wait.

Akami: Hold your ground, Rev.

Reveryn: Sure thing... *looks at everyone sort of awkwardly*

''"Heh... depends on what you define as calamity...." ''The being chuckles, and releases them, disappearing, Kado and Shinwa looking at each other tensely.

Kado opens his eyes slowly and looks at her for a moment, black irises and white pupils. "Very well, Shinwa. I will accept you into my cause. You are not White, but you are not to assume you can claim to truly be my sister.... ....as you have said, you have a desire to right the wrongs of your other, so be it. But I will not accept you as my sister. Not until you prove yourself to me."

"....I won't... let you down...." She says quietly.

Kado looks at Obi sharply. "Until I have found a location suitable for my operation, Obi. Allow my recruits to reside with us, consider my organization a brother to yours, or a sword that you might wield to your advantage. She does not have a killing edge to her being, I can sense it. She is no threat to us, and has already proven herself to me."

He looks at Shinwa with an unfeeling expression. "Should you desire to return where you came from, so be it. My sigil will call you forth if I desire your presence."

She tenses, and looks worriedly at Volmond, then leaps over to his side, a questioning look directed at him, she is silently asking him what she should do..

"If you wish to stay or go, it is up to you. I am but a call away." The doctor's eyes are still crimson, but almost seem completely devoid of emotion. ''Light Warlord, if she chooses to stay, please watch over her in my stead unless she summons for me. I have to go before I do something very, very cruel... ''He sighs and massages his temples. "In either case, I must go soon." He smiles faintly at Shinwa, though now it is easier for her to understand his emotions when he does not express them outwardly.

Akami: Father, listen. Before you say no, we are open to every and anyone. you know that and you said it yourself. She is obviously in need of a place to stay.

Obi: She can stay in Hell...

Akami: Obi! I know you hate people being uninvited, but for once. Just once let her just stay here until they find a new place to crash.

Obi: Fine. But just remember that they could've been ready to kill you.

Akami: But they didn't did they? Still here. Just fine.

Obi:...*turns away and walks away*

Kado looks over at Akami. "I will be back."

He walks up to Volmond, Shinwa, and the other hooded figure.

"Umm... the scary guy is coming closer...." She squeaks.

Kado looks at Volmond quietly for a moment, his attention seems directed on him.

"Would you mind if I had a word?" He says, his eyes still steel sharp.

"I do not as long as it is simply a talk," the doctor replies, his tone lacking emotion. "But make it quick."

Kado moves off to the side motioning for Volmond to follow, and when they are further away from the others, Kado asks quietly,

"What really happened to White that caused this to happen? This girl.... Shinwa..... ....if that was still inside my sister.... ....then I want to know why that happened to her in the first place. Tell me what happened to her. As her brother, I have a right to know. You have something to do with it. She looks at you as though you're her rock and her anchor." He says quietly.

"An emotional overload so to speak. A dark figure explained that basically all of the things that led to your current relationship with White could've been avoided had Shinwa not been tricked by a being named Eien into believing that if, in this possibility, you would grow corrupt and into a pure evil being that would destroy everything in ther pursuit of more and more power. That shattered her mind shortly after I managed to open her heart once more and resulted in Shinwa, the purity and goodness of your sister, and White, the corruption and darkness of her, being born as the good and evil within her refused to coexist.

Shinwa is... important to me. That's the best way I can describe it myself. The same applies to her, but as you said, she sees me as her rock and anchor... Emotions are hard to understand after going so long without them..."

Kado looks at him quietly for a moment, and closes his eyes. "I see." His eyes open. "You love her, don't you? ....In that case, I promise that I shall safeguard her while she is serving my cause. When she is not doing that, I have no concern with her coming back to you. In fact, in six to five days, my training here will be done and I will be seeking out the rest of my members to fight against Phoenix. While I search for them, I have no issue with her returning to you. In fact when we are not fighting or on break, I will encourage her to return to you. ....You deserve your time together. I won't deny her the happiness I didn't get to have."

The doctor nods, "Thank you... If possible, I'll return the favor during the final battle with Phoenix... I have a certain grudge against a certain member so expect me to be present."

Kado nods as well, opening his eyes. "Take care of yourself. I shall take good care of her for you. I'll see that no unnessisary harm comes to her. You have my word." He turns and begins walking back to the others, stopping in front of Shinwa, who looks at him with slight unease. She looks over at Volmond, her eyes unsure, but also seemingly trying to reassure him.

Kado offers a hand to her, and she slowly extends her arm and takes it, as he guides her over to Akami, she looks at Volmond, and offers him a strong smile.

''I love you... I promise I'll be back... see me soon? ''

''I will, just call if you need me. I'll be there in an instant.''

"Naki, I have someone I need you to visit for awhile. He's a bit strange, but he's a nice person. I'll send you to his location while I... cool my head a bit." He looks at the cloaked girl. "I'll come and get you in a few hours, okay?"

She nods. "I understand. Where can I find him?" She asks quietly.

"He resides close to where I do, though his area looks completely different, but currently he's on Earth, teaching." The doctor shows the girl an image of a verdant forest with a clearing. Inside the clearing sits a castle-like structure.

She nods. "I understand. I'll head there. You'll take care of yourself, right Master Zwei?"

"Just, Zwei," he sighs, opening a rift to the school, "Be safe and don't beat anyone up."

She lifts her hood up slightly so she can see her eyes, and she winks. "Alright Master- I mean, Alright Zwei. And I will. ...Beat people up....?" She says as she walks through.

Reveryn: What happened?

Akami: Uninvited.

Reveryn: Oh well that sucks for you then. You may have convinced them, but he hates intruders point blank. No matter what we have to say. So you standing up for them puts you in a uncomfortable position, man.

Akami: I can handle it.

Reveryn: *sighs* Ok. Right now I got another hour before I head off to The White House.

Volmond sighs to himself. ''Were people always this annoying to deal with? I recall them being rather easy to judge others, but this goes far beyond that... It's almost time for me to go.'' He stretches, yawns, then paces around, drawing into the air.

Kado looks over at Reveryn. "Oh hey. I know she looks like White and all, and she.... technically.... is..., but this is Shinwa, my sister of sorts." He quietly puts a hand on the girl's head. "She's going to be one of my recruits for my organization. She has the Light Slayer like her other half, so while I'm still controlling my urge to kill her on sight, at least she's useful."

Reveryn: Neat. What's good? Names Reveryn, most call me Rev. I'm the guy who saved your brother from the verge of death.

She looks at Reveryn curiously. "Rev as in Reverend?" She asks quietly, the voice eerily familiar like White's but different at the same time, softer, more gentle, warmer. "Are you a reverend?" She asks curiously.

Kado shakes his head. "No, and he also proclaims to be a legendary archer."

He looks at Akami. "Would you mind training her as well? I don't know how well she knows how to fight. I mean, for all I know, her skills could be all but gone and in White instead."

The doctor looks up, "She might surprise you there..." A moment later he disappears.

Akami: Sure thing. I really don't mind. HEY SEGURA!

Segura: DA FUCK YOU WANT, AKAMI!

Akami: BRING NAOMI OVER HERE!

Segura: God damn it.

Shinwa looks confused and looks at Kado. "Why are they yelling?" She asks softly.

Kado sighs aggravated. "Aren't you supposed to be the big sister in this relationship? Please at least partially get a spine...."

"But aren't I a-"

"....Yes, I know. That wasn't literal. ....I guess somethings never change. You used to be so literal before...." He shakes his head. "....No time for nostalgia."

Kado iritatedly begins practicing what Akami said, going for speed rather than power.

Akami: Good. Like I said, once you're in, you want to do as much damage as you can against you're opponent, but don't over eo first, then go for the least expected. And once you're in you don't stop.

Kado does as she says.

Segura finds Naomi not too far away, leaning against a wall, Firehawk attached to her belt as always. She is still in her human form, her kitsune features are absent. She senses him coming and looks over at Segura.

"Do you need something from me?" She asks.

Segura: Training. Come on. *walks over to Akami with Naomi behind him* Here she is.

Akami: Alright Naomi. I just told Kado of his first lesson. I'm teaching how to trip up your opponent. You go for the most expected attack, tehn go for the least expected and once your opponent trips up you don't stop attacking.

Naomi blinks. "We know our basics. But alright."

She looks over and sees Reveryn and her eyes slightly dilate. "O-oh, hey Reveryn."

Reveryn: *smiles* Hey, cutie. How you doing?

"U-UUHhh - f-fine?" She stammers, her face going slightly red.

Segura: Hey Rev. Where were you? didn't see you this morning.

Reveryn: Went off to take down the Spaniards.

Segura: Oh snap, you killed them?

Reveryn: Yes sir.

Segura: With them out, all the minor gangs have no products to give off to the street. They got no drugs, they got no weapons, and they have no money. That's exellent, bro! Youjust cut off the Under Empire's main suppliers!

Reveryn: Well yea, you know, Imma boss like that. Also about the money.

''A whirling sounds can be heard from above and something is being leveled through the whole in the roof. once the platfotform is set down in the middle of the Slums, every gathers around what is on the platform. The Frontliners go up to the platform and see a mound of traveling bags.''

Reveryn: Merry flippin' Christmas! *unhooks the line holding the platform and the whirling noise goes away*

Akami: What's in these bags?

Reveryn: Take a guess. *kicks one down and once it hits the floor stacks of money fall out*

Everyone begins digging into the bags and start to cheer in exciteme ynt

Akami: Rev...this is amazing..we could use all this to help everyone get back on there feet. We can use this the medices, the clothes, the food we need and extra material to fix up the place. This is a blessing.

Reveryn: God works through everyone. *jumps down from the mound* It's just that I was the likely candidate for it at the time. Enjoy yer' money everyone. *begins to make his way off*

Everyone thanks Reveryn as he makes his way toward the surface

Naomi is completely thrown off by Reveryn's complement, and seems to be completely unfocused now, the start of her ears growing out is apparent.

Reveryn: *looks at Naomi and smiles* I was wondering what happened to those ears. *pokes at one of them and walks off*

A small firey aura surrounds her as Kado laughs. "Awwww cute. I think he likes you."

"S-S-S-Shut up!" She stammers, smaller versions of her tails now growing out. "Aaaaaggh!"

Reveryn: * walks past the girl with green hair* Hey Mavis, tell Obi I'm off to the Prez's House, ok?

Mavis: *nods*

Reveryn: Thanks. *goes into the computer room and shuts the door behind him*

Naomi lets out a sigh once the tails grow out again.

Segura: Well, It looks like training is done for today, kids.

"We haven't gotten much of anything done though." Kado says confused.

Segura: *takes a few bags* We gotta get this money to Obi we know what to do with it. And if it weren't for a certain interruption, you would've got more done. *makes his way towards the back alleys*

Kado lets out an aggravated sigh as Shinwa shrinks a bit and looks down. "Akami, can you please punch the next person who gives her grief?"

Akami: Heck man, I can do that right now. Hey Segura!

Segura: Wha- *gets punched in the face so hard he hits the wall and falls into a ditch*

Akami: *grabs Segura by his shirt* I don't want you to hear say anything that will put down Shinwa, understood?

Segura: *nose is bleeding straight down his face and neck*...Understood.

Akami: *pushes Segura back into the sewage and walks out the ditch* Conflict Resolved.

Shinwa looks at Kado. "That wasn't nessisary."

Kado looks at her. "Look, I don't need any hositility or any of that crap from these guys at you. It makes it harder on you and me. Just deal with it. That's just my way. No nonsense, a sprinkle of humor here and there, and get it done. Alright?"

Shinwa quietly nods. "Ok..."

Akami: Alright, you guys do whatever until we can all this money situated. *carries 5 bags on each shoulder and makes her way to the back alleys*

Segura: *makes his way out of the ditch and steals a glare at Kado, then takes his bags and follows Akami towards the back alleys*

Kado sighs in irritation. "I didn't tell her to hit you, jackass!"

Meanwhile

Reveryn: *is amongst a huge crowed of people surrounding the White House balcony* Darn. Alot o' people here.

Obi is watching the whole thing on a glitchy television

The President appears on the balcony with two M.C.C.P agents next to him

The President: I know you all feel broken for the past few weeks of the events that have happened to mankind. And I know what you are all thinking.

Exima is sitting in a throne-like chair watchin the speech on a small televison

The President: Why don't we destroy the myths? Reason is. Is that it's too easy. The moment we slip from our humanity, we become the very thing we fear most. Sure, we lost our loved ones, our homes, nearly our entire race. Our world is scorched and eroding. But let me tell you this, mankind have been through worst and worst is still to come. And whatever happens in the future, we mankind are gonna live, cause God has still a plan for us. And when there's a plan, it sure as hell a good one!

The crowed cheers

The President: Let me tell you that this is only history in the making of an entire chain of events. And whatever happens, atleast we'll endure it together as a race. Are with me?!

YEEA!

The President: Alright!

Everyoe cheers and claps

Reveryn: *looks at the cheering crowd* Well that was easy

Obi: *smirks* Good job, Ado. *eats on a human arm*

Exima: *grumbles abit with his face twisted in disapproval*

Kado sits down on the ground, with Shinwa and Naomi sitting next to him, Shinwa looking uncomfortable and sitting a bit a ways from him. Naomi however sits comfortably next to him.

Kado finally sighs, looking over at Shinwa, who briefly looks over at him, but then quickly looks away, nervous. Kado's eyes close as another sigh escapes his lips, and he suddenly pulls her close to him and sets her against him, to her shock. When she gives him a questioning look, he opens his eyes partially and puts his hands on both their shoulders.

"You guys... ....need to understand. Much of my drive is in hate. Much of my drive is in the darkness. What gives me strength is the dark wrath I have come to harbor deep within my heart. But that doesn't mean I don't have a heart of compassion."

He quietly looks at Shinwa, whose eyes opens slightly at his words.

"You may be a part of my sister, who as a whole was a villain and tore my life apart. But you are someone new, something that needs to be given a chance. I myself could have turned out differently in so many ways. But that's why I'm giving you this chance, Shinwa. As much as I want to hate you, for the both of us, a revolution is occuring in our lives. Things that are will no longer be. That is my creed for now on. What is shall be destroyed, and what will be will be born. A new order must be made, but to achieve that the first order must be drowned in chaos, and firmly put to the flame. The time of judgement is not now, but when God's hand finally decides to act. Until then we must not simply stand by, but make way for change. You are no longer my sister White. You are my sister Shinwa. The sister I used to love so long ago. And maybe will come to love again."

Shinwa's eyes widen with emotion and tears begin to fall from her cheeks.

"That's enough of that." He says swiftly, wiping the tears away with a smile. "No more regrets. Pray to heaven to show you kindness not judgement, and prove to them your resolve to make things right. We show the world who we are by our actions and our words. Show them your heart."

He then strangely enough turns to Naomi.

"Naomi. I made a promise to Hiroshi, and I intend to keep it. You will not join me in my new organization. You will remain here. With these people. They will take care of you when I cannot afford the time to watch you. If I cannot protect you, then I know my brothers and sisters here will do the same. You've suffered enough at the hands of war. So stay out of this fight."

She looks like she is going to protest, but Kado stands up.

"Come on now. Don't fight it. You know as well as I do that I'm one of the most stubborn assholes you'll ever meet. Now, why don't we do some private training?"

The two girls get up, and Kado smiles. "That's better. Let's all prepare to fight our own battles. Doubtless before our days are numbered, we'll have plenty of prepare for."

''Everyone is still cheering for the President, until some one points out something black in front of the sun coming closer. Everyone wonders what it is.''

Reveryn: Invasion from the Sun, man.

Obi: Hmm I wonder who it is. *takes another bite of the arm*

Exima: *eyes narrow intently*

The black object comes closer heading straight toward the president at full speed

The two agents get in front of the President with their pistols drawn.

Reveryn: *draws his arrow and prepares to shoot*

Obi: Holy shit, man! Take the shot!

Reveryn: *shoot his arrow and and explosion goes off once it hits the object*

''The object launches right over the President and hits the roof and falls down near the balcony entrance. The objects stands up and a 7 foot tall man with a face of a Quetzalcoatl and a pentagram on his chest and wings in view, shrieks so loud everyone begins to yell in pain trying to cover their ears from the shrieak, including Reveryn.''

Obi: Rev! Pull yourself together, man! Get the President!

Jumbo: Come now, my brothers and let us lay waste amongst The Before!

''A wyrm comes out from the clouds and begins to burn everyone with the crowd then a serpent comes from underneath them and begins to devour people. Myths ranging from elves, trolls, and homomoculus emerge from disguises and begins to kill people.''

Exima: *slightly smirks at the sight*

Reveryn: *uncovers his ears and looks at his hands and sees blood on them* Damn...*looks up at Jumbo walking up to the President and shoot another arrow at Jumbo*

Jumbo: *is blown up in the face*

Reveryn: *makes his way through the crowd and shoots a zipline arrow to the balcony and grabs the President* President.

The President: Thank you, young man.

Reveryn: Man I aint young. I'm grown. Grown-ass man over here.

Jumbo: *smoke clears and sees the President gone* AAAAAARRRRGHHH! *flies up in the air and looks through the carnage and fnailly spots Reveryn and the Presdient an dashes down right in front of them. He walks up to Reveryn, completely towering above him*

Reveryn: *gulps* Wow...Ain't you a big fella...

Jumbo: Traitooooorr....

Reveryn: *gulps even harder*

''Jumbo tries to smash Reveryn but he's too quick and fires a few of his explosive arrows, but Jumbo comes out from the smoke and tackles Reveryn and drills him across the ground though the crowd. They finally stop and Jumbo begins to punch Reveryn in the face and stomach as blood flies all over the place with every punch. ''

Jumbo: *draws his fist back for the finishing blow* Any last words?

Reveryn: *is all bloody and bruised* Y-y-eaa...Fus..Roh...Dah! *shoots one last arrow that sends Jumbo flying right off him and into the carnage* Heheheh....I always wanted to say that...*gets up and makes his way through the carnage, until he fins the President about to be attacked by two elves from both sides. Fires to arrows facing their directions and kills them* Sorry guys. *he takes the President and leads him out*

Obi: Holy damn, boy. How you still alive?

''A giant mechanical hand emerges from the ground and a mechanical beast emerges to the surface. ''"Mythos Detected. Command: Devastate." ''pulls a a machine gun off its back and begins shooting at every myth in the crowd and even shoots a few people on accident. The serpent emerges once again and the CRAzy shoots at it's sides.''

Reveryn: Oh dear God, Obi. I hope you're seeing this...

Obi: Man...I wish I were there. *takes another bite of the arm*

''The wyrm flies over the CRAzy spewing flames at it. The CRAzy jumps out from those flames and bites on on its neck and brings it down. The CRAzy tears the wyrm's neck off and begins to eat the wyrm''

Reveryn: Ho-

The President: -ly

Obi: Shiiiiiiit.

Exima: *smiles grimly*

Reveryn: *is horrified at the site* Its...eating a myth...

The President: *falls down and throws up*

Reveryn: *grabs the President* Come on. Let's go. *both leave the bloody carnage behind them and make their way back to the Slums*

Obi: Damn... *takes a couple more bites out of the arm*

Akami and Segura come in

Akami: Hey Dad, guess what Rev brought...*looks at Obi*

Obi: *slowly turns around, wide eyed with his arm in his hand and turns the television off*

Segura: What the fuck is that? *is refering to the television*

Kado, Shinwa, and Naomi are training, when Kado stops.

"Let's go." He creates a mask over his, Naomi, and Shinwa's face. He starts walking with them towards Obi's office.

''I feel a strong sense of unease... I'm going to check in real quick...''

Obi, Segur, and Akami are watching a replay of what had happened at the speech

Kado knocks on the door. "Something's up, isn't there?" He calls out.

Obi: Feel free to come in man, doors open. You too Torem.

Everyone enters and watches the recording of what all happened at the White House 

Kado lets out a soft growl. "Jumbo?! Damn, that fool is here? ....No wonder things in Fantasy got out of hand... otherwise Jumbo never would have let that happen to...." He growls again.

"In any case, this is bad. Very bad...."

Obi: And even worse, They gave CRAzys guns! Who da fuck gives a carnivorous machine a flippin' machine gun? I mean I know I'm bonkers and shit, but that shit right there is ridonkulous. But let's keep watchiing! *

Everyone reverts their attention back to the television

Segura: Dude, how is he still alive?

Obi: I know right?

Akami: If anything that's about 1,000 pounds worth of pressure in each punch.

Segura: And Jumbo pnched him like what? 17 times?

Akami: Yea...Man, I'm just glad he survived that with him being more fragile than the rest of us.

"How close are they to base?" Kado asks quietly.

Reveryn: *comes throught the door all bloody with the President behind him* Ahola! I have returned *cough,cough* with the President of The Nation.

Obi: Hey man, what you think you're doing spillin' your dirty-ass blood all up in my room, get out.

Reveryn: Well dang dude. You didn't have to be like that. *spits out some blood to the side*

Akami: Rev man, are you ok?

Segura: Dude, we just saw you get beat to death.

Torem: You lucky to be alive, man.

Reveryn: Luck? Ha! I throw luck out the window! *looses his balance and leans against the wall*

Segura: Dude, you need some medical attention. You're loosing alot of blood.

Reveryn: Man dude, I'm fi *cough, cough cough, cough*

Segura:*looks down the hallway* Dude, you bled all the way down the hallway.

Reveryn: So? Doesn't mean I need medical assistance.

The President: Hear your comrades words, boy. You took several massive hits. You need to get patched up.

Reveryn: No no. I should be fine. I just take a bath with greenleaf is all...*falls flat on his face*

Akami: Well he did get punched in his face a little more than he got punched in his stomach.

Obi: Someone please get him the fuck up, before his blood reaches my room. I don't have time to be cleanin' up other people's blood, man.

Kado silently looks at the President for a moment, then nods to Naomi, and she picks up Reveryn with a heavy grunt and her form changes into her kitsune form in order to lift him, and begins running him off to somewhere out of the way and clean, then lays him down on his back and begins treating his wounds.

"I know a bit of healing magic, not a lot, but it should help until we get a doctor or somebody. Hey, need a doctor or somebody good with healing to help me out here!" She yells.

Once they are out of the way, Kado quietly looks over the President for injuries, but doesn't say anything, merely crossing his arms, his mask obscuring his identity, and much different from his usual ones.

The President: You doing well, my boy?

Kado lets out a breath, and takes his mask off after a moment slowly, a flat look in his eyes.

"It's been a while, hasn't it?" He says coldly. "Never minding that, your well being is more of a concern than how I am, Mr. President. After our last discussion, I never anticipated having another meeting with you. But regardless. I imagine you and Obi should be talking, not I. I'm no longer a subject of your attention." He closes his eyes and puts the mask back on, looking away.

Shinwa doesn't speak, instinctively avoiding eye contact with the President.

Obi: What's good, Ado?

The President: Well Obi. Well.

Both bring each other in and pat each other on the back

Obi: If you all didn't already know. The President is our main supplier and provider for all The Party's needs.

The President: It is the least I can do for the cause. Your son as amazing out there bringing me out of there. The Nation would've been in greater turmoil if I had died.

Obi; you know, i train them well. Well until the ghost is clear you can crash here and shit until then.

The President: The best option I have at this point

Kado silently turns and begins to walk out the room, along with the white masked girl by his side.

Akami, Segura, and Torem walk out of the room and sit and stand around Reveryn

Segura: Man, why does Reveryn get more action than we do?

Akami: Cause he's more willing to do it.

Naomi sighs exasperated. "Can one of you get a doctor? Unless you can or know how to heal, can you give us a little space?" Her fox ears twitch in her agitation, as she tries to mend Reveryn as best as she can.

"Did someone call a doctor?" Obi comes dressed in a torn doctor coat and a medical headband

Dr. Diah: Hello how's it goin' my name is Dr. Diah. You said you needed a doctor am I correct?

Naomi looks over at Obi in irritation. "You're kidding right... ...Obi. A real, trained doctor. If I let you over here, you better actually help me heal him, otherwise I will ''freaking claw you to pieces, and then eat your damn head off!" ''She growls, then immediately switches to a intensely happy face. "Ok?" She says way too cheerfully.

Dr.Diah: Sorry little fox girl, I don't know an Obi, but I am a certified doctor. I got a PhD in anesthesiology and a GED in toxicology. So lets get started. First, Let's see what all is hurt. *sees some bruises on his stomach* Ok. Looks like we're gonna need some packs of ice and serm' stitches.

Naomi looks at the three. "Since you're here, why don't you go get those? Make yourself useful, I've got no time to waste on this." She says irritably.

''Akami gets the singe. Segura gets the sewing stuff, and Torem brings 10 sandwich bags of ice.''

Dr.Diah: Excellente. *takes some alcohol and pours some on all his bruises. Begins to stitch up the minor cuts on his body.

Reveryn: Argh!

Dr.Diah: He's in pain! Anesthetic! *gets a bat and begins the beat Reveryn in the face with it until he goes limp. Takes the bags of ice and put them on his bruises, then takes some bandages and wraps them around the bags* Ok. Now unto the next procedure. Few more bags please.

Torem walks off to get some more bags of ice

Naomi glares at him and lets off a strange, sharp bark that makes Akami and Segura flinch from its intensity. "Can you TRY not to cause any more injuries than necessary?!" She continues applying her healing magic, her face now officially cross.

Dr. Diah: Listen Naomi. Imma Doctor. I know what's best.

"Because you say you are? Hit him again while I'm trying to heal him, and you're going to need a doctor. A real one, with a hearse included just incase!!!"

Dr. Diah: Hey man, everyone has different methods of healing. My methods may not look effect, but they definitely work.

She sighs with great irritation, her nails have become claws and up to her wrists is now covered in her soft black fur, though she still is helping to heal internal injuries.

Torem comes in wht five more small bags of ice.

Dr. Diah: *takes the bags* Now. *takes the alcohol and pours some on a sponge and swabs it all ober Reveryn's bloody face*

Reveryn: ARGH!

Dr. Diah: AETHSTETIIIC! *takes the bat again and beats Reveryn's face until he goes limp again* Ok...Now. *wraps a bag of ice around Reveryn's forhead* And now...* takesa Hello Kitty band-aid and puts it over Reveryn's nasal canal* There. He's fixed. Give him tomorrow and he'll be all good. Nice workin'  with ya'll. You can take it from here, little fox girl. *walks off*

Akami and the others can see that Naomi's fur is all bristled, and little flames pop in and out of existence in a small ring around her. The fur grows up to her upper arms, though she seems too angry to care or notice, muttering under her breath as she continues trying to heal Reveryn. Her tails twitch about in agitation.

Akami: You gonna be ok, Naomi?

She says tightly, "No. He's probably caused head trauama or a concussion or...." She breaks off, angry to the point of wanting to smash something.

Akami: Hey we'veall been through worse. So has Rev. He proved today that he still held on to his life, so getting beat with a bat wouldn't be anything worse for him at this point.

An Old Friend
On the Television, an old friend of Obi's transmutes the CRAzy into nothing but a hunk of metal and wires, not able to move or process anymore. He walks throught the wreckage, healing people he can. The man finally gets inside, and yells something, "Oh Obi wan Kenobi! Come on out!!! I come for assistance!"

Obi: Oooohhh ssnap! It's Big Shot Junno! What's good man?

"Well, I'm researching the Philosopher's Stone. I heard there was a man here that could get me to Echo. I'm not in a hurry, so take your time." He hugs Obi and holds him at arms length. "Good to see you..."

Obi: Good to see you to, mane. Be happy to help my explosive compodre.

"His name is... Is... Kado? I think so... Anyways, got any room?"

Obi: Ofcourse I do. And the blondie is around here somewhere. Feel free to look around for him.

"Alright. This place is nice man! Where is it going? And what is it?"

Obi: Basically everywhere around the continent. This is home to all those who got kicked to the curb by life. And a home to those who are being hunted like game. This is The Junkyosha Party, fool. We're gonna change the worlds view of the future. Which hopefully have anti-gravity boards.

"Ah. Sounds good. I may just stay for a while. May I ask why there was a CRAzy left unattended?"

Obi: It wasn't unattended, The M.C.C.P left it there just in case some myths made a move, which they did and now we're all screwed tighter than a soda cap. Which is pretty tight by the way.

"The MCCP? Those dicks are still active?"

Obi: I know, right. Swear these bitches be unstoppable. And they are giving CRAzys giant-ass guns, man! That's ridiculous! The CRAzys are bad enough with their fireballs, ice spikes, and sparks and now their up in here with these 30 foot machine guns? Aw heeeelllls to the naw, man. That's where this shits gotta end.

"Can... Do you want the CRAzys slowed down? I know where their production facility is... Or at least was..."

Obi: I don't think you'll be able to do that without pissing of Ol' Man Admin. and his many legions of weapons.

"True... Can you show me to my room? I don't know this place."

Obi: Oh sure thing. *takes him into the boy's cabin* This is the boy's cabin. It has four bunk beds and a refrigerator and it comes with air conditioning. The boy's hangout in here and this will probably where you can meet up with Kado at some point. Bunk anywhere you like and shit. Try not to sneak over to the girls cabin or anything. you know I don't be believin' in that boys and girls in the same room thing. You know what all goes on when that happens. Too old to be a baby grand daddy.

"More like an Uncle Kenobi. Thank you. I bet you are busy. We should catch up when you get the chance. I mean, it has been twenty years..."

Obi: Yea, i know right? Well anyway, I'll get back with you later. Maybe after I'm done we can get mug of beer and talk about shit 20 years after we parted out speratist ways.

"God to hear." After Obi leaves, he takes the bunk closest to the fridge and transmutes his alchohol and water into a light beer. "Ah, good to have some rest..." He falls asleep.

When he comes to, there is a person quietly mediating on the top bunk across from his bunk, a masked man whose appearance strongly resembles a ninja. The person quietly looks at the newcomer, the only hint of eyes are white pupils and the natural white of his eyes, his irises are black.

Junno looks at the man. "Kado, right? Or am I mistaken?" He sits up. "Just the man I came to see..." He trasnmutes a hard liqour and offers the glass to the man.

He quiet narrows his eyes slightly. "And..... you are....?" He stares at the glass and shakes his head no at it. "I tend to be suspicious of people who I've never seen before that somehow know my name." He says quietly behind his mask.

"Name's Junnosuké. Call me Junno." He drinks the liqour

"....Alright June. What is it that you want? I've got a lot on my mind." He says curtly.

"That would be Junno. I need a ride to Echo when it convinieces you. I hear you are the shapeshifting fury of Echo. That you are making a new Phoenix and the old one 'shall perish below you.'" He gets up and makes more liqour. "I love alchohol..."

"And you love to talk too much... ....and what is your business there anyway? I am not a transit station." He says with a little more edge, the stranger overstepping his limitations of 'comfortable' conversation.

Junno touches the bed and a spike flies to Kado's face. "Learn your place. I am asking you to do a favor. You MAY turn it down. I'll just beat it out of White then. Let us continue our friendly conversation, please." The spike retracts.

"First off, threaten me again and I'll put you in your place. I don't have to help you, and if you're that eager to resort to violence, then you don't deserve me help. I'll ask you one more time. What is your buisness in Echo? I'm not a transit station, and you will show me some respect. I don't give favors to those who do not deserve it. I'm not going to let some random person on my home world, who could easily have hostile intentions. You have no right to speak to me or act against me in that manner, considering your position."

"Bwah! Hahahahahahah! You think I'M hostile? That's funny kid. I am searching for the philosopher's stone and there is a city there that may help. And, you are severely out of your league, B T dubs." He looks up. "Though me and Obi wan Kenobi are going to catch up later."

Kado suddenly changes into Junno, and before Junno can react is being controlled by his own power, Kado's eyes glowing.

"Lesson one. I can become YOU. I also can gain YOUR powers. Don't try me." Kado changes back to normal, and then snaps his fingers, and Junno disappears in a massive wreath of darkness, which takes him away.

"Lesson two. Don't piss off the guy who controls the most abundant element in the universe. You might just end in a black hole." Kado had sent him to Echo, but on the complete opposite side of the world from Chinmoku.

"He can find it himself. Though I doubt the Elementals will help him out."

Meanwhile

Obi: What's good, Ado?

The President: Pondering on what to do now. No doubt after what has happened today that my fellow Pangeans will want me to sign the Act. I cannot advert this, if I do they'll start to revolt and throw riots through out the street. Atleast if I do sign the Act, it shouldn't be all too bad. You wont have to fear about dying.

Obi: But we loose our freedom, man. We deserve as much rights' as these here crackers. Oh wait.....that's color racial....I don't know how to be racist to one whole domination....

The President: What am I to do to keep from the world from going to turmoil.

Obi: I don't now about that kind of shit. Oh oh. I have idea! We should take The Party and push it somewhere else!

The President: *looks at him in confusion* As much as that plan sounds...incredibly ingenious, I think we might to figure out another solution.

A black shadow falls from the ceiling. "Why President, don't you know the obvious answer? Give the people what they want. War."

The shadow forms to reveal Kado.

"War is a valuable tool. So is hatred. You just need to know how to use them. Look at what Phoenix has done, President, and the answer to this dilema reveals itself. Fight back. Declare war on the organization Phoenix. Direct the hatred of Mythos into strength to fight against Phoenix's forces. I have learned of Phoenix's location, it is in the vast oceans of Fantasy, where our common enemy lies. As the leader of the soon to be born Admonition, I declare war upon Phoenix, and upon gathering my core group, will search for further followers who seek to end Phoenix's reign of terror. You will have our power. But understand....

This is a call to arms, not against Myth or Fantasy, but against the criminal scum who desicated your world, Phoenix. Drive hatred into action, into war. A war that will satisfy the hunger of hated and rage and turn it into strength needed to fight back. You may say we should try for peace, but the war hasn't even truly begun, President. If you don't take action against them first, they will march right back into Earth for round 2. And trust me. ...They haven't even shown you their best hand yet."

Obi: *slaps Kado in the back of the head* Don't be interuptin' grow folks business, boy! You gotta say excuse me first before you enter grown folks conversations! You gotta give the boy points, though. It's either that or we can still push The Party somewhere else.

The President: I assumed this Phoenix was destroyed, but seeing how you say they are still alive, then I must gather our forces and fight these bastardy heathens for the destruction of my people and my continent.

A change comes over Kado and Neo stands in his place. "That is far from correct. I assume all of you bore witness to the rift that momentarily covered all of Earth, and saw that giant device that fired upon Earth? That is a superweapon called the Spear of God. Its power is so immense it can literally kill or erase even immortal beings. That blast was felt all over Earth, but trust me when I say that it was only at fifty percent power when it was fired. Its engine.... the power source needed to power it to 100 percent was acquired in the invasion by Phoenix.

From what I understand President.... we are now on a rapidly shrinking window of time to prepare. At the end of this month, the Spear of God will cool down from its overheat and be ready to fire again. Only this time, as the others tell me, they will use this 'engine', to cause the Spear of God to reach one hundred percent.... powerful enough to instanteously Erase Earth from all times, spaces, and planes of existence. Not a single soul will be sent to heaven from the blast, as it will destroy all of their time and space... for eternity.

As of now, Phoenix is preparing for a final invasion attempt, once it strengthens its forces again, it will march through Fantasy and take over it. At the same time, they will seek to once and for all put an end to Earth. Assuming our united forces stop them, we must then drive them back to the fortress Yosai and destroy them once and for all. In this time of a month, Kado intends to gather as many allies from the planes of Fantasy, Earth, and Echo in the attempt to overcome Phoenix's forces."

Kado takes back control. "It is important that Admonition and Earth work together, and be recognized as such. We must be reconized as allies and cordinate as much as possible. Nothing less will be able to take down Yosai Fortress. Phoenix has yet to play their final cards. ...My beloved Azula, she is a being Daikeim, a friend of mine described as a Chaos Engine, the key to the Spear. She and the rest of the Chaos Engines have yet to be deployed, but when they do, we will need all the power we both have. President. I cannot stand to even imagine what White has done to her. She was... ...is... a genuine soul... none of this she would desire. She would never hurt anyone. ...I'm fighting... to free her from her chains... Humanity must find something truly worth fighting for."

The President: Hmm...whether or not we succeed or not. I will not stand by and let such a crime go unpunished and unavenged. I will gladly ally myself with Admonition.

Kado nods. "I have preparations to make in the next few days. After my training here, I will be going out to seek out the qualifying members for Admonition. Once I have my core members established, we should discuss and make arrangements for the war effort. And in any case, if you call upon the Agencies, you need to have an oversight and forbid any attacks on unassociated Mythos for when we counter invade Fantasy. We are fighting to keep Phoenix from gaining control of it, not take control of it ourselves. It will cause more problems. ...SPECIFICALLY keep a close eye on the M.C.C.P. I don't trust those people at all. Whatever reasons you have for trusting them, keep strong oversight over all of the Agencies. We cannot have a two front war with both Fantasy and Phoenix. It has to be kept to Phoenix. If you have to, revoke and choke The Admin's authority to keep him in line on this."

The President: Ofcourse. That you will not have to worry about. After today I'll alert my subjects and the Agencies.

Day After
Kado wakes up early, before the President leaves. When he does see him, he stops him for a moment. "If you need, I can keep watch over you in your address, so the events of yesterday do not become as likely a threat. I have a few tricks up my sleeve. I just thought I would offer my help in that matter, if you chose to accept it." He says quietly.

The President: I will gladly accept your help. Mankind has accomplished many feats, but the ever growing techniques of the unknown out do us. With your help, we can preserve both of our worlds.

"Alright. Let me know when you plan on leaving." He goes to the Hut.

Akami an Segura are sitting down at a table, eating pancakes and fried eggs with a side of orange juice

Akami: Morning Kado.

Segura: Mornin'. *eats another bite of his pancakes*

Kado quietly rubs his eyes. "Ugrh... still not used to the beds... Good morning." He sits down.
