[color=indigo][font=times new roman][b][size=2]Rain pours down onto the gargoyle, cascading through the thick fog. Various sizes of tombstones litter the tainted soil. A lone figure lurks in the shadows of the infinite cemetary. Leaning against a cold marble stone, the figure coughs and hacks, struggling for a breath. On the far corner of the country, in another cemetary, another figure sulks and trudges through the graves. He stumbles and clutches his chest. The rain started to pelt down upon the figure. He raises his face to wish what cannot be felt, the kiss of the rain. He stands up and flicks his wrist. "Montein....I am coming for you..." the figure clentches his fists. Back in the first cemetary, the figure against the tombstone snaps his head up to look in the opposite direction. "Hietein...I wait for you.." he stands and props his hand on the tombstone. Lightning lights up the black night, the thunder crackled the silence and serenity of the sleepy cemetary. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ It is said that the souls of the dead travel to the Pearly Gates of Heaven to be judged. Whether they did good or bad, the gates are the first stop for the dead. If determined worthy of gracing the eternia of Heaven, the soul can rest in peace. If determined guilty of sins unforgivable, the soul is cast to Hell. But what happens to those souls who cannot be judged so quickly? What happens to the souls if they cannot rest, even if they have already been judged? It has been stated that those souls who cannot rest, who have had something so terrible happen to them, can go back to the realm of the living and make emense with whatever their fate dealt. This is the case for two brothers, Montein and Hietein. Their past smered with blood, hatred, and betrayal. Their souls were not able to rest until they could settle the score and answer questions in which brought them to their fate. __________________________________________ Okay, I am going to be Montein..I will post my bio later. I am going to need Hietein...As for other characters, I want one demon and one angel. The demon's job will be to help Hietein along his path. The angel's will be to help Montein. For other characters, these will be helpers for the two brothers. I want only two for each brother! So that would make 7 people at max for this story.. Name: Age: Gender: Race: {Human, Demon, Angel *Remember, only one demon and angel. NO EXCEPTIONS, if the part of the demon or angel is taken, tough luck} Appearance: Weapon(s): {I only want 3 per person} Skills/Abilities: {If you are the demon or angel, only 3. If you are human, it has to be realistic..unless you are the other brother..} Attitude: No bio's, they're irrelevant.. Have at it..[/color][/font][/size][/b] [b]I am sorry Kinetic, I wrote this up very late and I was rather tired. Hietein

[color=indigo][font=times new roman][size=2][b]"Himura!! Himura!!!" a voice of panic rings through the small camp. Anya stands up to greet a fellow samurai. He ran, panting and yelling. He waved a scroll in his hand and hopped over slumbering warriors. "What is this commotion, Jakubo?"slightly irritated, Anya snatched the scroll from the whimpering man. Anya gazed over the scroll and her eyes flushed with anger and excitment. She crumpled the paper and threw it into the small fire. She picked up her weapons and tied her mask and bandana. "Jakubo, advise the vice commander of my absence. Tell him to resume command and fight only when neccessary until I return," Anya started to walk into the horizon. "Yes ma'am," Jakubo took off in the opposite direction. [i]Hmm, the northern armies are closing in..And he still lives! That is good, I have his honor and his pride in my palm..[/i] Anya clentched her fists and continued to venture into the sunrise.[/color][/font][/size][/b]

[color=indigo][font=times new roman][i][size=2]"Here's what the plan," Shay, Tex, and Cassandra huddled on the bed. Shay explained that they should trip a fire alarm, then in the excitment wheel Tex down the hall as a critical patient and then head down the stairs. Tex would be able to walk, hopefully. "Nice...But what about JP? Shouldn't he know?" Tex looked a little upset. "Uh...I kind of forgot about him, oops.." Cassandra giggled then ran up to the door. She peered out to see him fidgeting in his chair, then get up and pace with his hands in his back pockets. She unlocked the door and whispered out into the hallway. "Pst! JP..C'mere!" Cassandra motioned to JP. "What? Is she okay?" JP burst through the door. "I'm fine, now hush!" Tex waved him over to the bed. "What's goin on?" JP wrapped an arm around Tex's waist. The girls then explained to him what was going to happen. He nodded his head then clapped his hands. "And you are going to carry Tex down the stairs and out to the parking lot," Cassandra pointed to JP. "Right! Let's get the party started," JP smiled.[/color][/font][/size][/i]

[color=indigo][font=times new roman][i][size=2][b]OOC: Hmm, I wonder where you got that, lol..It's okay, only you and I know.[/b] _____________________ IC: Chinkan, careful not to catch her fangs on him, glids her tongue around. She slightly tightened her lips as she gently pulled forward. Aruzan drew in short breaths as he tussled Chinkan's thick hair. Chinkan pulls away and slowly pushes Aruzan to the bed. She then climbs ontop of him, pressing her hot body against his. Kissing his lips softly and running her hands down his naval. Aruzan cupped Chinkan's breast with one hand and a cheek with another, and began to kiss her neck. He playfully nibbled at an earlobe, making Chinkan melt into him. He rolled her over on her back and started to kiss down her neck and onto her clavicle, then onto her breasts. He lay his head inbetween them and took an aroused, pink nipple into his mouth and gently sucked it to the roof of his mouth. Chinkan burried her head further into the bed and grasped a handful of Aruzan's dark locks.[/color][/font][/i][/size] ___________ I couldn't remember the exact way it went, but I tried.

[color=indigo][font=times new roman][i][size=2]"Ugh," Yelena quickly jumped to her feet. "More?" Tycho giggled. "Oh you know it," Yelena smiled wickedly and rushed to attack. She was in mid air when she felt a strong grasp around her waist. She was jerked backwards and onto a police vehicle. "You have the right to remain silent. Anything that you say will, and can be, used against you in the court of law. If you do not have a lawyer, the court will provide you with one. Do you have a problem with your rights?" the police officer cuffed Yelena. Yelena sighed and looked over a Tycho who was also being forced to the ground and read his rights. His face read the same expression as Yelena's, annoyed. "Yeah, I have a problem...Well, it's your problem," Yelena smirked, "I'm a pirate, I don't abide by your laws!" Yelena rolled around on the car, swinging her legs in the air and clubbed the officer in the face. Tycho smiled and kicked the police officer in the back of the head. Yelena bent down and carefully unhooked the key ring from the officer's belt and stood up. "You're crazy!" Tycho got up and ran after Yelena. "Shut up and run!" Yelena yelled over her shoulder.[/color][/font][/size][/i]

[color=indigo][font=times new roman][i][size=2]"Tex, your mother wants to see you," Cassandra popped her head in the doorway. JP leaned over and kissed Tex on the forehead and left the room. Tex's mother walked in the room and the door unwillingly closes behind her. Tex swallowed and took in a deep breath. Her vision was clearing, her breath started to regulate itself, her body started to retrieve its feeling. She slowly pushed herself up with her strong arm. "What were you thinking? What in the hell was going through your head!? How could you do this to me? Do you have any idea what I would've had to go through?" Tex's mother stormed up to the side of her daughter's bed. Tex said nothing and looked away. "Don't you turn your head on me! I am talking to you young lady! I am your mother and I-" her mother shook her finger. "MY MOTHER?!?" Tex threw the dinner tray across the room. Her mom stood back and gasped with disgust. "I, I, I, ME, ME, ME!!!! That's all I hear from you! Mother, fuckin, dearest!!! You don't give a shit about me!!! All you care about is yourself!!!" Tex bellowed. "Don't you talk to me that way!!!" her mom spat. "Shut up, Caroline!!!! You aren't my mother!!! You're just a barren waste of a woman!! I can't believe my father asked you to adopt me! I never wanted another mother!" Tex screamed. "You have no other mother but me!" "I have a mother! And her name is Marion Locke," Tex leaned back and folded her arms. The door opened and Tex's father walked into the tensed room. "What's going on?" Tex's father walked up to Tex and brushed her hair back. "Get her out of my sight...."Tex looked away and began to sob. "Robert, I.."Caroline started. "What did you do?" Robert stood up. "I did what any other mother would have done,"Caroline smiled with sappy fakeness. Robert kissed Tex on the forehead,"I will be back in a few minutes." "You did nothing but deepen the wounds that still lay on Tex's skin," Robert took Caroline's arm and led her out of the room. Tex lay in the hospital bed and cried. She leaned over the side of her bed vomitted again. Caroline's performance turned Tex's stomach. Memories of her mother flooded her head. Memories of the days she remembered waking up to the smell of breakfast and her mother's singing. Tex cried into her pillow and curled up into a ball. The morphine still coursed through her veins, for the bullet wound helt as if it had not been ther at all.[/color][/font][/i][/size]

[color=indigo][font=times new roman][i][size=2]"Kyle, do you think he'll find us again?" Tanya was laying lazily on an overstuffed couch. It was a hot, summer day. One year later from when Tanya had met Kyle. Every single window and door was open, in hopes to let in a stray breeze. Kyle sits at the table, reading the daily paper. "I hope not....Listen to this, 'Surviving victims of yesterday's terrible massacre say that they are absolutely positive the attacker was an android. They also claim that he said his name was Viper...' Well, I guess he's still looking for us," Kyle folded the news paper and looked over at Tanya. Her dark red hair hung over the arm of the couch. She rolled her head to the side and gave Kyle a faint smile. "We can take him. We've escaped him this past year, why should we be too worried?" Tanya stretched then sat up. "Yeah, I guess you're right. But I still want to keep an eye open," Kyle stood up and walked over to the couch. Sitting next to her, he plopped his feet on the coffee table and leaned back into the pillows. Tanya stood up and walked into the kitchen. She rummeged through the refridgerator and pulled out two bottles of water. She sat back down on the couch and tossed Kyle a bottle.[/color][/font][/size][/i]

[color=indigo][font=times new roman][i][size=2]Chinkan leaned back against the wall as Aruzan's tender lips trailed down across Chinkan's clavicle(collarbone) and onto her exposed breasts. His hands ventured south to her hips and danced across her waist line. Chinkan pulled Aruzan's shirt over his head and pulled his naked body against hers. Chinkan skillfully released the clasp on Aruzan's belt and pulled it from his jeans. Aruzan continued to kiss Chinkan's breast and made his way to her soft stomach. Chinkan sunk to the floor and the two locked lips as Aruzan gently lay Chinkan on the cold floor. Neither one of them felt the cold, all they felt was the heat eminating from their bodies. Chinkan's heart skipped a couple of beats as Aruzan's fingers swiftly and gracefully pull the button of her pants loose and the zipper down.[/color][/font][/i][/size] [b]OOC: There, I didn't get too far.

[color=indigo][font=times new roman][i][size=2]"Let go of me!" Yelena struggled and twisted. Tycho threw his head back and laughed. The two lay on the ground in the middle of the street and wrestled around. People stopped and watched, some shook their heads. Thinking it was some grotesque sex routine, which was normal for the slum city streets of New York. Yelena sat ontop of Tycho's chest and delivered a punch straight into his jaw. Tycho's lip bled, but not blood. Yelena looked at him, puzzled. Tycho weilded his arm into the air and carried Yelena, slamming her onto the ground behind him. He spun around and jumped to his feet. Yelena hopped to her feet and glared at Tycho. "We having fun?" Tycho's bionic eyes spun in excitment. "Why are we fighting?" Yelena couldn't recall how this fight got started. "Just wanted to see what you're made of," Tycho and Yelena circled around one another. "Fine then. Have at it," Yelena swung her body around and reeled Tycho into a parked hover car. She then rushed up to him and head butted him in the forehead. He stumbled back and regained his composure. He grabbed Yelena's throat and backed her up into the building. She glared at him and brought her free hand up into Tycho's nose, freeing her throat. Tycho's eyes flickered with anger and he started to run down the sidewalk, dragging Yelena with him. He then stopped abruptly and swung his arm around and sent Yelena through a store window. The glass shattered beneath Yelena's bruised and cut up body. "Heh, c'mon pirate!" Tycho reached down and pulled Yelena up by her braid. "Uhh,"Yelena reached down and picked up a large shard of glass,"You son of a bitch!" "Huh?" Tycho blinked. Yelena swung her free hand around and slashed Tycho's attatched wrist. Yelena stumbled back and fell over the display furniture. She looked down at her wrist and saw Tycho's hand and bio suit still attatched from her suit. "Uuugghh!" Yelena shook her arm free of the hand and stomped on it. "Hmm," Tycho held his amputated arm, "No matter." Tycho charged at Yelena. She stood fast and crouched, extending her right arm in front of her, the left arm to the left side of her body. Yelena gracefully stepped to the side and spun around to smack Tycho in the back of the neck with her leather bounded braid. Tycho crashed through another pane of glass and into the street. Yelena jumped out onto the side walk. Her hand bleeding from the deep laceration from the glass. "Hmm," Tycho stood up and smiled.[/color][/font][/i][/size]

[color=indigo][font=times new roman][i][size=2]"Cas..san.."Tex drifted in and out of conciousness. "Hush Tex," Cassandra wiped tears from her face," I'm taking you to the hospital. My dad will be there and we'll think of some way to get out of this mess." Cassandra pulled into St. Anne's Hospital and the paramedics took Tex into the emergency room. Cassandra fell to her knees and started to shake with sobs. Her father burst through the doors. "Cassandra, sweety," her father knelt down and picked her up to her feet. "Daddy, I don't know...how to tell you this.."Cassandra was starting to fret. "Sandy, just tell me," her father cooed. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Faint voices fluttered through Tex's dazing mind. Doctors calling for scalpels, tourniquets, and anesthetics. Tex looked up into the bright, blinding lights above the operating table. "Dr. Hansen, she's lost alot of blood......Does she have family?.....How old is she?.......What happened?......Point of entry...." "Tex...Tex, Tex baby wake up......" JP's voice echoed through Tex's twilight of reality and the dream world. Tex woke up groggy from the anesthesia. She rolled to her side and vomitted. Looking up to see a blur of the environment around her. Her vision finally started to clear and she gazed upon JP's terrified face. "J...Jac..ob.."Tex held out a hand. "Tex, oh my God," JP was sitting by the hospital bed and he grasped Tex's cold hand. He held her hand to his burning face. Tex smiled over at him and cupped his face. "Y-you're crying..."Tex started to fade. "Of course I am. Tex, I thought I had lost you..."JP started to choke back. "Well..you..didn't..See, I'm fine.."Tex squeezed JP's hand. "Crazy girl,"JP smiled and leaned over and kissed Tex's cheek.[/color][/font][/i][/size]

[color=indigo][font=times new roman][size=1][b]Reaper stood up. She was tired of being by herself. She wanted to be outside, but was afraid of what was waiting for her. The GVA and the Lowendove Brotherhood were in cahoots and after the hybrids. Warrington would be insane with anger and would not fool around with her. "I agree with you Warrington. This is war..A war that I want to help..That's it, I am going to go to the AVD and talking to Leon. If Hyde wants to kill me, I would like to see him try..No, I don't. I-I..Uhhhh,"Reaper walked down the stairs and outside. You are going! He killed your family! You swore your revenge!! Reaper's concious was tearing her in fifty directions. She decided to walk it off and clear her mind. She walked into a skateboarding store and looked around. "Whoa, babe. You have to be the whitest white girl I have ever seen," a kid in chains and torn jeans stepped up. "You have a problem with my looks?"Reaper leaned close to him. "Uh, no..Is there anything I can help you with? Looking for anything in particular?" he started to blush at Reaper's unwavering, emotionless stare. "Sunglasses,"Reaper twirled around to look into the glass display case. The kid walked around and opened the case. He handed her a pair of black sunglasses with red reflective lenses(imagine Cyclopes' glasses in the movie X-Men, except they are thin framed). Reaper put them on and walked out. "Hey, babe! You gotta pay for that!"the guy was running around the counter. Reaper looked over her shoulder and pulled down her new shades, smiled at him and disappeared. She ran down a few allies and jumped on the flag pole of the local bank. She crouched on the ball and looked down at the city. "Now, where is it? Ah ha, there it is," she dove off and did a front flip before landing. She took off towards the AVD Headquarters once again. She knocked on the old, heavy door. The same weary eyes peered out on her and narrowed. "Not you again,"the voice was irritated. "Yes, it is I, again. Has Leon checked in?"Reaper cautiously walked up to the door and placed one hand on the cold iron. "No, he is not in. You will have to come back later. And I will guarantee that he will not see the likes of you,"the slid slammed shut. Reaper stepped back. She realized that Leon might still be laying in the ally where the "fight" took place. She sprinted off, her trench coat floated on the wind. She came to the clearing and saw that Leon lay face down in the snow. His crimson blood sharply contrasted against the stark whiteness. "Leon? Leon, are you dead?"Reaper knelt down and shook him. He did not move. His body was cold, his breathing was faint. Reaper picked him up and gently held him in her arms. She ran back to the AVD Headquarters. "Wha-Mr. Leon!! What did you do to him you b~~ch!?" the door painfully swung open. The large burly guard stepped out and tried to pry Leon from Reaper's arms. But her grip was relentless and her face was hard. She stepped back. "I am not going to just hand him over. I want to know he's going to be fine,"she held Leon tighter. "Fine, let's go,"the guard motioned for her to go inside. Reaper cautiously followed. Shades on, Reaper cautiously walked through the bright halls of the headquarters. All of the occupants inside stared in shock and some in horror. "It's one of those 'hybrids'.....What is that doing in here?.....Should we attack?....What's Mr. Leon doing with the disgusting creater?....." Whispers hushed in Reaper's path. She continued to walk down the corridor, Leon stirred. "Uh..where..." he passed out again.[/color][/font][/size][/b] OOC: Okay guys, let's get this going again!!

[color=seagreen][font=times new roman][i][b]Anya followed with the majestic fluid motion of her blades. Sparks of light reflected her swift and agile art. Slicing through Zantars was candy to her. Sabian transformed and tore through throats and stomachs, blood spilling onto the cold, metallic floor. "Anya! Check on their weaponry!" Hak demanded over the blaze of his gun fire. "I'm on it!" Any sheathed her blades simetaniously and turned to the control panels. She began to pull up multiple screens. They were all in Zantar. Luckily for Anya, she studied the Zantar language on her travels. Seichiro stood back and shot at a few Zantar, only to miss and nearly shoot Hak. "Hey! Watch it, kid!" Hak bellowed after nearly getting hit in his rear. "I'm sorry!" Seichiro's hand shook. "Hey! Seichiro, calm down. You will not hit anything like that. You must relax," Anya soothed. He nodded then his eyes took on a more sense of panic. Anya followed his eyes to a enormous Zantar behind her. Anya tried to pull on her sword but the Zantar's powerful grip wrapped around her neck. She coughed and struggled to gasp for air. She scratched and pulled at the Zantar's hand to free her from his grip. "H...a..kur..o!!" Anya struggled. "Anya!!" Seichiro screamed and aimed his gun. "Sei..ch..iro....hur.."Anya passed out. "NO!!" Seichiro lifted his arm and closed his eyes. *"Try to keep both eyes open when you aim, keep your arms steady and stiff. When you aim, always aim a little higher than the desired mark..."* Anya's voice and wisdom spun through Seichiro's head. He opened his eyes and took aim. A gun blast rang throughout the alien ship. All was quiet, Hak had finished off the remainging Zantars, Seichiro still had his arm up. The Anya fell to the floor. Seichiro stood terrified on the thought that he had hit Anya instead. To his and Hak's relief, the Zantar started to cough up blood and he began to soar to the floor, ontop of Anya. "Anya!" Hak ran and snatched Anya, rolling away from the massive alien.[/color][/font][/i][/b]

[color=seagreen][font=times new roman][i][b]Mina cradled Kovu in her strong and secure arms. She held Kovu's head to her breast and raked her fingers through her hair. Mina lay her cheek on Kovu's hair. "Kovu, I know your thoughts. This isn't easy for you, I know this. And you shouldn't have to be put through this torment," Mina looked up angrily at Mangst, then to Kyru. "Shame on both of you! I know your thoughts as well. How dare you ask Kovu to choose between the two of you! She loves both of you very much, and neither one of you are helping! She's been through the hells and back for you Kyru! Doesn't that mean anything? And you, she still lives in all of the hells waiting to see you. And now that she has, you ask her to drop all of her feelings to a man that has had nothing to do with her for the past five years. I am disgusted at the lot of you," Mina turned around and lead Kovu down the trail. "Mina...what am I going to do?" Kovu's voice trembled as she choked back on her tears. "Ssshh, Kovu, my dear Kovu," Mina cooed,"It will be alright, you just need some time to rest and think everything over. I am sorry that you had to be torn like that." "That's okay. At least I don't have to worry about you trying to mess with my mind and emotions," Kovu hugged tighter. Mina let a tear roll down her cheek. How she longed to be held by Kyru like Kovu was now. But she knew he would never. She adored Kovu, and was happy Kovu adored her.[/color][/font][/i][/b]

[color=seagreen][font=times new roman][i][b]OOC: Uh, Tex, Cass, and the guy left already. Please read the posts a little more carefully, just so there's no more confusion....[size=3]Oi, this one is very long, but it's important!![/size] ________________________ IC: "Tex, coast is clear," Cassandra's voice spoke through the receiver of Tex's Nextel. "Bong, let's get this race goin," Tex hung up her phone and threw it in her passanger seat. Tex's Integra, Cassandra's Skyline, and the guys Prelude rolled into a vacant mall parking lot. This mall had been clossed for a year and construction to take it down had not been carried out. "Right, to the end of the lot and back. No bullshit, got it?" Tex leaned out her window. "You got it, babe," the guy blew a kiss. Tex's face contorted with disgust and annoyance. She rolled up her window and switched her CD player off. She shifted to first and the two racers reved their engines. Cassandra parked her Skyline out of the way and she walked in front of the two racers. Tex gave Cassandra a smile and blew her a kiss. Cassandra held out her hand and pretended to catch the kiss. Tex laughed and took in a deep breath. Cassandra gave one final look over and raised her arms in the air. Tex gripped her wheel and shift knob. Cassandra then dropped her arms. The Prelude sped off first. Tex took off seconds after him. Second gear, Tex was half cars length. He shifted to third and sped up full cars distance. Tex shifted to third, then quickly to fourth, she was now equally caught up. He shifted to fourth as Tex shifted to fifth, Tex was now a car and a half ahead. The end of the parking lot, Tex quickly down shifted and pulled the E-brake. The Integra's rear fishtailed and spun around, Tex shifted to first and left the Prelude not to far behind. Tex shifted to second, the Prelude several feet behind. He shifted to third and was passenger door to Tex. She shifted to third and quickly into fourth. She still couldn't shake the Prelude from her tail. ~~~~~~~~~~ "Shit! He's actually keeping up! Tex, hurry!!!" Cassandra was jumping up and down. ~~~~~~~~~~ Tex shifted to fifth and finally got some distance from the Prelude. But he quickly caught up. Already at 130 mph, Tex pressed the first NOS button. The high octaine fuel passed through the line and boosted the Integra to a dangerous 158 mph. Tex quickly passed Cassandra and left the Prelude in the dust. Tex drove back up to Cassandra and the waiting Prelude. The guy was leaning against his car, pissed off. Tex stepped out and walked up to him. "You fucking whore," the guy pushed himself from the car," You used your NOS!" "I never said you couldn't! Did I?" Tex folded her arms. "That was a cheap race! I demand a rematch, and for double the g's!" "I don't even fuckin think so! Your car won't make it as well as mine. They're too hot," Tex spat on the ground. "No, you don't understand," he reached into his pocket and pulled out a hand gun," Rematch, double money, now!" Tex stepped back. Cassandra grabbed onto her. The guy started to chuckle. "Why don't you be a real man and fight me hand-to-hand?" Tex's voice was unwavering. "Heh. Since you put it that way," the guy put the car down on the ground. "No, put it on Cassandra's hood," Tex put her hands in her back pockets. The guy did what he was told. He spun around an rushed at Tex. She slid to the side and as the guy passed, she brought her elbow into the back of his neck. He fell to the ground then rolled over to meet Tex's size 7 in his face. He skidded across the pavement then jumped to his feet. "FUCKING CUNT!!" he yelled and swung a fist into Tex's face. Tex went flying into her Integra and sunk to the ground. Cassandra started to go after the guy. "Cassandra, don't!" Tex stood up and spit a mouth full of blood onto the ground. "But Tex-" "She said stay out of it, ho," the guy shoved Cassandra against her Skyline. "DON'T YOU FUCKING TOUCH HER!" Tex bellowed and speared the guy onto the concrete. Tex began to pound the guy's head into the concrete. He gained some control and landed a blow into Tex's stomach. She fell backwards and clutched her stomach, coughing and hacking. The guy reached down and picked Tex up by her hair. He went to deliver a fist into Tex's face, but Tex had other plans. She kneed him in the groin and he let go of her hair. She took his head and slammed it into her knee. He fell to his knees adn Tex high kicked him in the chin. He fell backwards and Tex walked back over to Cassandra. "Let's go..."Tex slumped over onto Cassandra. "Right,"Cassandra helped Tex to her car. "I can drive, just follow behind me," Tex leaned over onto the Integra. "HEY YOU SLUT!" the guy yelled out and a shot rang through the empty lot. Tex's eyes widened and she clutched her right shoulder. She looked down and saw blood spilling down her arm, and sunk to her knees. "TEX!!!!!" Cassandra knelt down. "You're bitch!" the guy aimed and squeezed the trigger. "Tex,"Cassandra held onto her best friend, who was in shock. Right when they thought it was over, the guy let out a gurgle and fell on his face. Cassandra looked up and saw the last person she would have ever thought to see here. "Gen...."Tex passed out.[/color][/font][/i][/b] OOC: [b]Tag. Metatron, where for art thou?[/b]

[color=seagreen][font=times new roman][i][b]Shy turned her identification card over and studied the information. She looked up to see the others doing the same. They stuffed their cards into their pockets. Shya sighed and did the same. No point of wearing it when she was about to retreat to sleep. Shya plopped down on her bed. She lay on her stomach and hugged her pillow, the rain continued to drizzle silently. The room was getting warmer, Shya got up and scooted her bed closer to the coolness eminating from the window. Laying down, Shya began to doze off. "What is your name?" Alex startled Shya from her slight slumber. "Deglow," Shya didn't look at him. 'Deglow' was the name given on the identification card. Shya assumed the name had come as a combination of her being demon and her glowing eyes. "No, I meant your real name," Alex sat on his bed, no more than ten feet from Shya's. He leaned against the wall, hidden by shadow. Shya slowly turned her head to look him in the face. "Shya," her voice soft. "Shya? That's pretty," Shya saw Alex nod his head. "Thank you," she turned her attention back to the window. "Deglow, huh? Mine's Alexander, my code name is Grave," Alex was now laying on his back, hands folded under his head. "Alexander? I used to know a man by that name. I miss him terribly," Shya dug her chin into her pillow.[/color][/font][/i][/b]

Chinese throwing stars, a tanto and ninjato, numb chucks, and her favorite, a pair of brass knuckles that are attatched with a thin, very sharp, reinforced steel wire. When the wire is wrapped around the neck, one gently tug and the head will come clean off of the neck. [u]Bio[/u]~ Born in a small village, Anya had a normal childhood. She was always getting into trouble, all of her friends were boys, and when they came of age they began training to become samurai's. Naturally, she wanted to be one too, but she was a female. It was forbidden for a female in the village to be a samurai. But her best friend, who was a samurai in training, taught her the ways and techniques of the bushido. They became closer than friends, their parents found out and exiled him from the village. They punished her by cutting her very long and beatiful hair. In this village, this act showed that she was a disgrace and she was a dishonor to her family. Shortly after, she ranaway from the village and turned her back on the samurai ways. She has been wandering for years, killing ninja's, samurais, and any of those who oppose her. By her hand many men had died. Anya is was only 18. At the age of 20, She had formed a small tribe called the Onigumo Clan, their trade mark was a blue spider on their suits. Due to the raging wars, her small tribe was crushed. This infuriated Anya and she went after the head of the opposing force. It was then she was confronted by a powerful ninja by the name of Kazuya. She defeated him, but has heard rumor over these past 2 years that he still lives. Now she is on her journey to seek out Kazuya and kill him.[/color][/font][/i][/b]

[color=seagreen][font=times new roman][i][b]"Right, hurry guys. Matt's fading," Charlotte was in Grim's cockpit, reading the systems. "Charlotte! What are they doing?" Mira called up, holding Matt in her arms. "They are going to destroy the barrier shields. Mira how much room do you have in your mech?" Grim's boosters surged to life. "Next to nothing, do you have enough room for Matt?" "I have some. Hold on, I am going to lower Grim," Charlotte took the controls and sunk Grim onto his knees. Charlotte jumped out and helped Mira carry Matt into Grim's cockpit. Charlotte got him straped in and covered him with blankets. Suddenly, the alarms started to sound off, the hanger's lights shut off and red lights strobed. The two girls looked at eachother. "They've taken notice to our departure. Hurry, get in your mech!!" Charlotte closed her hatch and fastened her harness. She saw Mira jump into her mech and start up. Charlotte punched in an anti-gravity code, this would automatically adjust the high pressure within the cockpit.[/color][/font][/i][/b]

[color=seagreen][font=times new roman][i][b]"Geez. Just stay out of the way kid!" Hak ran infront of Seichiro and started to kick and punch at Zantars. Anya took up her ninjato and tanto. She glided gracefully through the swarm of Zantars, the sheen and sparks from her blades lit up the darkened corridor. Sabian transformed into an adolesent to a full grown wolf, he attacked Zantars and ripped their throats from their body. After a few spins and jumps, Anya landed infront of the crowd and every single one dropped to their knees, some heads rolled on the floor. "Wow..."Seichiro was speechless. "Nice work Anya, but stay on alert. We'll be sure to meet the rest of the crew," Hak walked up to Anya. "Seichiro, come here," Anya waved him to walk over. Seichiro walked up to Anya and she took his arm. She stood behind him and brought his other hand to grasp his wrist. "Try to keep both eyes open when you aim, keep your arms steady and stiff. When you aim, always aim a little higher than the desired mark," Anya spoke gently and pointed Seichiro's arms at a dead Zantar. "Can we get going now?" Hak shifted his weight irritably. "Thanks Anya," Seichiro smiled and put the gun in the back of his pants. ''No problem kid," Anya wrapped an arm around Seichiro's shoulders and they followed Hak down teh corridor. "Hak, what exactly are we going to do in here?" Anya's tail swished, Sabian of course at her heels.[/color][/font][/i][/b]

[color=seagreen][font=times new roman][i][b]"So what the hell's goin to happen?" Cassandra stood beside Tex. "Cassandra, I don't want you involved in this. This is a score that I need to settle, a score that began long before I knew anyone here," Tex clenched her fists and cracked her knuckles. "But I don't want to leave you by yourself with him," Cassandra sounded concerned. "I will be fine. Now please leave, I don't want to be distracted or he will have the upper hand," Tex pleaded. Cassandra's face took on a hurt expression and she turned away to walk back to the crowd. Tex turned to face Rodney, his cigarette sizzled and smoked. He pushed himself off of the truck and casually strode towards Tex. "You thought moving nine hundred miles away would stop me from exacting my revenge? You thought wrong my precious. You owe me twenty two hundred dollars. I lost alot of money after you quit your phone," Rodney brushed a hand through Tex's silky hair. "Leave me alone Rod, or you'll lose more than a piece of skin," Tex spoke cooly. "Not until I get my money," Rodney ran his hands down Tex's arms. "What are you going to do if I don't give you the money?" Tex turned around to look him straight in the face. Rodney then unsheathed a bowie knife and pressed the cold metal against Tex's throat. The blade was so sharp that it produced a sliver of blood. Tex did not flinch, instead, she gazed into Rodney's pale green eyes. "I will take your pretty little head," Rodney leaned in and licked the side of Tex's face. Tex's face contorted and twist with disgust. She stepped back and grabbed her neck, looking at the small smudge of blood on her fingers. She looked up at Rodney and lifted an eyebrow. "Well, I don't have the money now. Give me til tomorrow," Tex wiped the blood on her pants. "No, I want it now, tonight," Rodney spun his knife in his fingers. "Fine, I can get it to you tonight. Just let me find a challenger," Tex gripped her deck, never taking an eye off of Rodney. "You'd better get it. Or you can kiss your ass goodbye...and, his," Rodney pointed his knife over at JP. Tex's eyes flickered with fear, the only sign of fear she had. She didn't want to get JP tangled in this mess. She didn't want him to know that she had been a call girl. It was the only thing she was ashamed of in her life. Tex turned around and started to walk towards her car when she felt Rodney's hand around her wrist. He spun her around to face him. He pulled her to him and kissed her. Tex pushed back and slapped his arm. He shoved her backwards into a parked car and ran after her. Tex gripped her deck with both hands and swung, cracking Rodney in the face. He flew back and landed on the pavement with a thud. "What the fuck do you think you are doing?! I'm fixing to get your money!" Tex readied herself for another attack. "Just wanted to give you something for good luck," Rodney stood up and wiped his lip. Tex huffed and walked up to her car. She threw her board in the back seat and started the car. She put in Tool and reved the engine. She pulled out and around to the crowd. She stepped out and leaned on the roof of the car. "Hey!! I need some excitment!! Who wants to race for g's!?" Tex held up her wad of money she'd collected at Mickey D's. "I'll take you! How much?" a black guy walked up to Tex. "I want twenty five hundred, no NOS, no slips," Tex explained. "You're on. Be right back," the two shook hands and he left to get his car. "Tex, who was that?" JP nodded over to Rodney. "Oh..Just an old friend...Nothing to worry about," Tex tried to shake her nervousness off. "Hmmm, what happened to your neck?" JP lifted Tex's chin to examine the small cut. "Uh, the necklace I had on earlier, a wire came loose,"Tex lied. JP gave her a suspicious look. He gave her a kiss and wished her luck in the race. Tex sat in her car and waited for this guy to come back. He appeared in a Honda Prelude. "Let's go. Follow me, I know a place where we won't get burnt," Tex pulled out of the parking lot and sped down the street. ________________________________________________ OOC: Just for information, in the racing world (well, where I am from anyway) being "burnt" means getting caught by the cops.[/color][/font][/i][/b]

[color=seagreen][font=times new roman][i][b] OOC: Yes, the halfpipe is outside.... ___________________ IC: "Go forth, Shay of the blades!" Tex pushed Shay forward. "Hey Texas," a familiar voice lurked behind Cassandra and Tex. Tex spun around. Cassandra did as well. The two girls stared at a scrubby looking guy, leaning against the side of a Dodge Ram. He wore all black leather and smoked a cigarette. "Who are you? And how do you know that name? No one calls me by my real name," Tex folded her arms across her chest. "Ah, you've forgotten me? You don't remember giving me this scar?" the man traced a horrible scar on his neck. Tex stood still, her face paled but kept it's furry. Cassandra looked shocked and nudged Tex. "You know this freak?" "Yeah....old acquaintance.." Tex's voice hinted annoyance and anger. "The name is Rodney," Rodney pulled out his pack of cigarettes out of his breast pocket. "What do you want?" Tex shifted her weight on her deck. "You know what I want. I want your blood," Rodney chuckled. "Tex....d'you want me to get JP?"Cassandra whispered. Tex shook her head and kicked up her board, holding it tightly in her right hand. She stepped forward and held out her arms to her side. "Have at it," Tex's face was playful and her voice danced with pleasure.[/color][/font][/i][/b]

[color=seagreen][font=times new roman][i][b] Anya ran up to all of the commotion. She nearly had a heart attack when Hak threw Seichiro through the opening. "Hak!! What is the meaning of this?" Anya dropped her bag. Hak grabbed Anya by the arm and threw her after Seichiro. Anya kicked and yelled swear words in her native tongue. "Go and help the kid out. He can't do this alone. Besides, you are the next smallest person," Hak yelled out to Anya. Anya's ears twitched and she folded her arms, allowing gravity to carry her through the passageway. She entered this unfamiliar ship and looked around for Seichiro. "Seichiro? Hey kid..where are you?" Anya hunkered down, her ears percked up in alert.[/color][/font][/i][/b]

[color=seagreen][font=times new roman][i][b] Tex jumped to her feet and yelled up to JP. "Hey! I gotta go get my piece!" Tex ran around the club and opened her trunk. She fumbled through all of the junk she had thrown in back and finally found her prized, old board. This board had brought her luck throughout her years of skating. Tex threw it down and jumped on and skated back to the crowd. She ollied once to test if the board had it's magic. Being three years old, it still had the spirit. "Babe! Get your ass up here and show these suckers what you've got!" JP waved Tex up onto the home-made pipe. "Go Tex!!" Cassandra whistled and yelled. Tex climbed up onto the pipe, board under her arm. She stepped to the edge and balanced the deck. "Hey Tex, I challenge you," one of JP's friends on the opposite side of the pipe leaned on his board. "So be it," Tex smiled and slid down the pipe. The skater did the same and simutaneously the two stalled. Tex dropped and stated to the other side. She grabbed onto the edge with her left hand and thrust her lower body into the air, clasping her board with her right hand. She flipped backwards and dropped gracefully to the pipe. She skated to the other side and stalled the final time. Taking up her board and bowing. The crowd burst into cheers. Cassandra whistled, JP applauded with a sense of pride. Tex nodded at the challenger. He shook his head and placed his board upside down. Tex threw her arms in the air as the roar of crowd filled the night. She leapt off from the pipe, into the crowd. Cassandra hugged Tex and lifted her into the air. "Snoogins! Tex, that was awesome! I haven't seen you skate like that since..you know, you and JP went together last time...I am happy for you," Cassandra smiled. The techno music picked up, skaters continued to show off, the crowd continued to awe and dance. Tex winked up at JP.[/color][/font][/i][/b]

[color=seagreen][font=times new roman][i][b]"Please, allow me to hold my only daughter," Mangst extended his arms. His eyes brimmed with tears when Kyru backed away. He glared at Mangst, untrusting. Mangst returned his arms to his side, he looked away. Mina stepped up and placed a hand on his shoulder. "Mangst, you must understand Kyru's feelings about you," Mina placed her head on his shoulder. "I only wish to hold her before I depart. I wish to apologize and tell her that I do love her. I want to tell her why I did what I did...or didn't do," Mangst's cheeks streaked with tears. "What was that?" Kyru blinked. "I didn't kill myself, Kyru. It was Kaguro's doing, he deceived you all into believing that I had killed myself," Mangst sat down on a fallen log. "I don't understand. I saw you take your own life," Kyru sat down and lay Kovu's head on his lap. "Did you see me? Or was it my body? My soul had already stolen from me. My body was all that remained. A shell for Kaguro's will," Mangst sighed. Mina leaned against the tree and retreated into thought. *What is going on here? This just continues to deepen in confusion and lies that I had not known of. Kaguro, what is your plan? What have you stirred up in that malice head of yours?* Mina shook her head. "Mother, did you know about this?" Kyru's voice flared in anger. "I did not....." Mina softly uttered.[/color][/font][/i][/b]
