Felines of station square

Frost turned even more red. He stayed silent for a moment. Then "maybe I am maybe I'm not" he smiled. "That's for you to figure out"

~

Sylus was far from hene and frost. But a bizzard seemed to be coming in

~

Giro smirked. "You know what bucket head that's the smartest thing you've ever said"

"I'll tell you what." said Hënë with a grin, "I already know who raped my mother. The problem is finding him Years ago, I was raised in an orphanage. When I was twelve, three men entered and burned the orphanage to the ground taking me with them. They tossed me into an abondoned mine and sealed me in there to die. I was luck that they were seen by the man I now call 'Captain'. He taught me everything I know. But I know the man had raped four other women, with at least three of them dying. The last one had a daughter.."

~

"Watch it, Data boy." replied Steam harshly, "I tried to make a scanner but the machine fell overboard when Françoir's goons grabbed me."

~

"What are you planing?!" snapped Rhine.

"I just need you to get me the girl, Jessica." said Chikanere.

"NO!" shouted Jewels as her soul appired in the room.

"Ah, Jewels." said Chikanere sweetly, "How nice of you to join us."

"Do I look like a Take-Out menu?" snorted Rhine, "Cause I'm in no mood to fetch you dinner!"

"Why do you still defy me?" asked Chikanere, "And No, I do not need her for dinner. I need her to be a host."

"WHAT?!" jumped both Jewels and Rhine with shock.

Frost looked to her listening to her story. He looked down. "With the locket we can find where he is now and track him wherever her goes." He looked to the small shard he pulled up. "But if I could take you to my home, my old home... I could take you to the caverns where the crystal is mined. There's a risk, my clan isn't very fond of outsiders... And using the crystals in the cavern may turn you into crystal as well"

~

Giro sighed. "I wish I could have repaired scyper... I still feel bad for trying to control him during the tournament.... And I wanted some way to repay you for continuing my uncles work professor"

"Please..." said Kay, "Let Scypier Rust in Peace..."

"Here's a thought." said Steam, "Why not put our heads together and come up with something that's easy to use but only for the Proffessor."

~

The comment that Frost said made Hënë wince a bit.

Suddenly her ears twitched.

"Did you hear something?" she asked.

~

"I have something that may interest you." said Chikanere with a wicked smile.

The demon produced the broken dagger she had taken from Cilia and Rhine was taken aback.

"D..D..Dread's Crescent!" stammered Rhine, "But..."

"I have my ways, old hag." said the demon with a snarled, "I'll give it to you if you send me Jessica. I'll even fix it for you. But that's only if you send me the girl!"

"I..." stammered Rhine.

"Don't you dare, Rhine!" cursed Jewels.

"Yes Rhine don't." Came azrael's voice.

~

Frost listened to the crunch of snow. He hissed. As sylus broke the shelter. Grabbing the bag of emeralds "give me the emeralds!" 

Frost quickly started to make an opening in the ice to teleport away with hene

~

Giro nodded. "We can work on it later. The radar is finished" he checked the location. "They're up in the arctic region"

Hënë slashed the bag just under Sylus's hands and cursed "Not while I still breath, ugly!"

She started to grab the emerald as they roll across the icy ground.

~

"Huh?!" said Steam, "Is that where Rhine is hiding?"

"She sure gets around." said Kay.

~

"Listening to us talk, Azrael?" snarled Chikanere, "Very rude of you."

Suddenly Wrathven swooped down and stole part of Dread's Crescent from Chikanere's hand.

"Come on Rhine!" called Jewels's spirit as she made the flicky fly away, "Run for it!"

"Wha.." start Chikanere.

Rhine quickly hopped back onto her trident and took to the sky.

"I don't need the full blade for what I need." said Rhine, "Just a part of it. And right now, Jewels has control of Wrathven. Sorry about that!"

Rhine flew off after Wrathven, leaving Chikanere standing there in a rage.

"Blast that spirit!" she cursed, "Now you've seen what you've done, demon hunter!"

"Call it payback for almost killing my wife." Az vanished

~

Sylus grabbed one of the emeralds

Frost and hene grabbed the others and dove Ito the water. Now appearing on a beach

Sylus growled holding the emerald. "One down""

~

"I would doubt....." The radar beeped. "Now it's on emerald beach"

"The heck?" said Steam, "How did they do that?!"

"I don't know but we better get there quick." said Kay.

~

"Great!" cursed Hënë, "That bull got one!"

~

"Where is Sylus!" snorted Chikanere, fuming about losing part of Dread's Crescent, "I need him now!"

~

Rhine caught up with her flicky and took the broken dagger from it.

"You put us both in a heck of a lot of hot water, Jewels!" scolded Rhine, "The last thing we need is a pissed off Void Demon after us!"

"You seem more disrespective of Chikanere then what I did." said Jewels, "And besides, You blew her off many times before."

"Your right." said Rhine with a grin, "But now we just need something very powerful to help cast the spell. But I don't think Chikanere would let me walk back home to get what I need."

"Figured as much." said Jewels flatly.

"Maybe you two should try to fine my son. I bet Leo lnows a demon who could help" azrael's voice came to them

~

Giro walked out. "Big G hover craft mode!" The big robot seemed to transform ing to a four seat hovercraft. "Hop in"

~

Frost didn't reply. He was face first in the sand. It seems he forgot to channel to magic for his cryo zone that made the area around him cold and he was over heating

~

Sylus cursed. "Blasted lizard!" He heard chikanere calling. But he brushed it off. "She can handle herself"

"What?" snorted Rhine in reply, "You expect me to ally with you? Don't you think that is how Chikanere will get her way?"

"Why not try that other demon, Sylus?" said Jewels, "As long as he isn't in the know, we could ask for his help."

Rhine flew to the ground and turned into her dark mage form.

"He should be an easy find." said Rhine, "As long as Chikanere doesn't find him first."

Then Rhine and Wrathven vanished.

~

"So you worked out the kinks on the size issue." said Steam with a chuckle, "Maxus mentioned about his wild ride you took him on."

~

"Hey sleepy head!" snorted Hënë, "We've got to move from here!"

As she touched him, she could feel he was burning up.

"Oi!" she shouted at him, but he didn't move.

Hënë grabbed him by the tail and dragged him into the water.

"Why am I doing this?" she spat.

~

Chikanere waited for Sylus with anger.

"I swear..." she cursed in rage, "I need to put a tighter leash on my 'Pets'. They run off when I need them most!"

Azrael chuckled. "There's hope for that witch yet"

~

As frost touched the water steam seemed to roll off him. His body started to freeze and the area around him started to grow cold. He tenced poping out of the water to breath. He coughed. "Thanks"

~

Giro chuckled. "Wasn't a glitch." 

~

Sylus growled and snorted the emerald in his hand. He but it in his bag as he stood on a skyscraper

"Forgot to do something, Eh?" said Hënë flatly, "If you can't take the heat, get out of the sun."

~

"Did I say it was a glitch?" snorted Steam, "Maxus told me that the bike you made from your robots was barely big enough for him."

~

"Ah there you are." came Rhine's voice behind Sylus.

She appired behind him with a flash.

"Did you find any of my stolen emeralds by any chance?"

Sylus threw the emerald. "Only one. And I'm starting to get sick of that child ordering me around."

~

Frost looked to her. "No the sun has little to do with it. I have to stay in arctic temperatures to survive."

~

"Actually I was kinda trying to torture him a little"

"Says the one who passed out!" laughed Steam.

"Enough Steam!" snorted Kay.

~

Rhine juggled the emerald a bit before Wrathven grabbed so it wouldn't hit the floor.

"Phue..." said Rhine as her flicky put it in her hand, "Child or not, Chikanere is still a void demon. And the last time I saw her, She was not too happy. I must be off but thank you for returning one of the emeralds to me."

Rhine teleported away just as Chikanere emerged from a void portal.

"Sylus!" she said in anger, "Rhine stole part of Dread's Crescent! We must..."

~

"I suspect that bull demon will be trying to follow us." said Hënë, "We've got to find..."

"Hey You!" called a voice.

~

Rhine arrived on a barren mountain peak overlooking a thick dark forest. A ruin spire could be seen sticking out of the forest.

Rhine looked down on the ruin with some sadness, changing into her fighter form, before making her way towards the ruin.

Sylus looked to her. "Then maybe you shouldn't have let azrael destract you"

~

Giro smirked. "We could just drop you in the ocean junk boy"

~

Frost got up looking to where the voice came from.

"We need that shard back before we can complete our task!" snorted Chikanere, "But it will be for nothing if Rhine uses it!"

~

"Watch it, data brat." snarled Steam, "I am in your workshop"

"GROW UP BOTH OF YOU!" roared Kay in anger.

~

Suddenly Hënë and Frost were surrounded by 15 G.U.N. soldiers.

"Give up, Winged Thief!" cursed one of them, "You are surrounded!"

"Oh hello boys." said Hënë with a nervous smile, "Coming to pay a visit?"

Then she whispered to Frost "Get us out of here pronto!"

Sylus snorted. "Listen child! Rhine was just here! And with her the power to seek out the one item strong enough to control even the void demons!"

~

Giro grabbed steam. Surprisingly picking him up and throwin him, face first into a seat in the hover craft "you heard the proffessor we have no time for this."

~

Frost looked around. Then laughed. As the temperature dropped severely their weapons falling appart into shards. "Don't mess with her or me." He said as an icy mist surounded them and they were gone.

They appeared now in a remote forest. "They need better than that if gun wants to get to you"

"Then If I were you, I'd take that item from her!" snarled Chikanere, "You do remember that I Am a Void Demon! Smash that blasted trinket before she can use it!"

Chikanere turned away and added before she vanished with a dark tone, "You will not like what will happen if You Fail!"

~

"GRRR!" snarled Steam.

"Let's Move!" cursed Kay, "I think they've moved again!"

~

"It's more their pride that I stole from them." laughed Hënë as they arrived in the forest, "Broke into one of their super top secret bases that no one ever heard of."

~

Rhine entered the ruins slowly, each step seemingly as painful as the next.

Jewels popped in and said "What's eating you all of a sudden?"

Rhine was strangle quite. All she did as she walked was look around.

"Rhine?" asked Jewels.

Rhine turned to Jewels and spoke but a single word, "Home."

Frost chuckled. "Really I turned one of their bases into an iceberg once."

~

Sylus rolled his eyes. "You may be void demon but I am still your elder" he vanished

~

Giro put the peddle to the metal. They took off fast. "Hold on!" 

~

Max and the black lion walked around trying to find a boat to take them back to the maw. "How are we going to be back?"
"Simple find a boat and let the black lion speak he is me after all" Leo said

"Any ways," said Hënë, "Where are we?"

~

"WOAH!" cried Kay and Steam as the held on to the Hover craft.

~

Rhine made her way to a round room where a stair case stood crumbling.

"Here..." she muttered, "This is the spot..."

Rhine changed into her witch form, sat down and put Eiskrem and the part of Dread's Crescent on the ground in front of her. A circle with a pentagram and a star in it started to glow red.

"What's going to happen?!" asked Jewels nervously.

"A lake near a forest I know."frost said. "Only place I thought we would be safe for a while"

~

Giro chuckled as he had his goggles on driving the craft for the forest

~

Max and the black lion walked into the maw later.

Nash looked. "Max and... The black lion?"

Leo spoke. "Is Jess alright? Is she here?"

~

Sylus stood on a tree not far from Rhine watching. But he would make no action against her

"Hold on a sec..." said Rexal, "Why do you sound like Leo?"

~

As Rhine sat, she removed her gloves, showing the demonic pentagram on one hand and demonic script on the other.

She started to speak word in a very old demonic dialect as the makes on her hands began to glow.

A pillar of crimson shot up from the circle as the ritual began.

~

"That doesn't tell me much!" snorted Hënë flatly as she turned her head.

Suddenly she pointed at the tree tops and said "Huh? What's that weird light?"

Max sighed. "Long story rexal"

The black lion explained what had happened with sylus and the soul swapping

~

Sylus watched and chuckled. "So the fun begins"

~

Frost looked. "Dark magic....that is not a good sign"

"I see..." said Rexal, acting like he understood, "In any case, you missed Jess by an hour. She's rushed off to hunt down Rhine and the last thing either of us wanted to do is to end up in the hospital because we got in her way...."

~

"Should we go take a look?" asked Hënë.

~

"Um...Rhine?" said Jewels nervously, "What's happening?"

Rhine didn't respond, as she continued her trance like chant. Both Dread's Crescent and Eiskrem started to float in the air and circle around Rhine.

~

Chikanere arrived unnoticed behind Sylus and snarled "Well, Are you going to do anything or what?!"

~

"What the heck is that, proffessor?!" cried Steam as they saw the beam of light in the sky.

"I don't know, Steam!" replied Kay, "Giro, Floor it!"

(Almost finished writing up the roster for my fanfic Black Sun: The Lost Ark)

Sylus sat watching. "I was thinking. Why bother myself when your the one who lost the dreads crescent in the first place? Plus your oh so much more powerful than me. Why don't you do something child?"

Azrael sat not far from them. "You both are fools. You can't go near her. She's chanting demonic scriptures and she has the power the crescent holds."

~

Leo sighed. "I was going to join her but I need to get back into my body. I need to find the void demon sylus"

~

Frost shook his head. "When one see's dark magic like that it's best to run the other way fast"
