"What's the status of the tank?"

"Ten precent breach, sir."

"Fix it, if that thing breaks..."

"Sir, its dangerous...."

"Do you wanna die?"

"No."

"Then fix the ******."

"Sir-"

"Now, goddamn it!" The technitian opened the containment field with a welder and a patch of metal. However, he wouldn't ever get that patch on the tank. With an explosion of glass and liquid, the containment tank burst, and something broke the tech's neck. It walked out as hot lead snapped the air, into its body. To it, the bullets felt like a soft massage on the chest and back. It walked out of the NASA research center, and lay in hiding.
~~~

In the same plot of land, experiments were just finished on teenagers. They had been released with a tracker placed under their skin and no knowledge of what had been done to them. NASA hadn't felt remorse for what they had possibly and most likely done to the teenager's lives. Once they found out about what had been done to them, they would try hard to keep it under control, until they were found out. However, little did anyone know, their hatred at NASA would be turned into what would possibly save earth or destroy it forever.

Johnny woke up in his bed. He felt sick and disorented. He groaned and sat up in his bed, hand on his stomach, blond hair matted to his forehead. Johnny looked around, walls in his room placid with the new paint his father had put up days earlier.

His mother was crying, as she walked into his room. "Johnny...." She was depressed, she had thought that Johnny ran away, because of her and his father's worstening relationship. When she looked at the bed, she gasped in shock.

"Johnny!" She ran to his side, and hugged him. "Where were you, Johnny?" HIs mother, Colleen asked him.

"I don't really know...I don't remember anything. How long has it been?" He asked, flashes of needles, beakers, and bunsen burners in his mind. He shuddered.

"Over two months, Johnny...." She was clearly worried about him. Johnny grew angry at his inability to remember, and as he did this, thunder began crackling outside.

"What? It was clear just five minutes ago..." Johnny's mother left the room, leaving him to ponder what had went on.[/size]

[color=Navy]Cassie sat up in bed, her head was aching and her vision was blurry. She groaned and rubbed her eyes, when she looked around again she noticed that her vision was much sharper than it had been before, along with her other enhanced senses. Cassie sniffed gently and could smell so many different scents that she never knew existed before then.

Cassie's ears twitched, which then brought her to the awareness of her ears sitting on top of her head instead of on the sides. Cassie reached up to touch them, stroking the fur. She could also move them around.

There was a shuffling and soon someone appeared in her door. Cassie looked in the direction and saw her mother, her face had wrinkles, more than from the last time she'd seen her.

[b]"Cassie! You're back!" [/b]she cried, hugging her.

Cassie just hugged her back, puzzled, she didn't remember even being gone.

[b]"What? How long have I been gone for?" [/b]Cassie questioned.

[b]"Quite a while, I'm just glad you're back...but, what's with your appearance?" [/b]

Cassie got up and ran over to her full length mirror, looking over herself. She was definately different. Her ears were the first thing she noticed, then her hair; her brown hair now had streaks of grey and black in it, her canine teeth were longer, her nails could retract, and she now had a furry tail. Cassie had a flash of a memory, she remembered a water tank, needles, people in white coats with clipboards and pain. She growled and suddenly she was on the ground, rolling around in pain, crying like a pained wolf.

[b]"Cassie!" [/b]her mother cried, kneeling down and trying to help.

Cassie growled, fur started to sprout from her body and she was changing.

[GuyYouMetOnline]

The last thing Treana remembered was a fight with a rival gang that had been interrupted by the cops. As per standard procedure, everyone had scattered, making their way back to headquarters individually after making sure they had lost any pursuers. Treana had been chased by a pair of cops, but had easily lost them. The next thing she knew, she was behind a dumpster in an alley somewhere.

Treana wasted no time trying to figure out how she'd gotten to her current location. There would be plenty of time for that later. her first priority was to figure out where she was, then make her way back to headquarters. Once she was safe there, she could think about the how as much as she wanted.

Treana emerged from the alley. Not recognising any of her surroundings, she made her way to the nearest street corner. She knew the streets well, and the street names alowed her to figure out her current location. She plotted a route back to headquarters, and was about to start walking when she became extremly dizzy. She was able to duck into the nearest alley and conceal herself behind some trash cans before she became too disoriented to move.

It faded after about a minute, and Treana stood up. She still had a headache, but was able to walk. She starded towards headquarters. Her mental energies were devoted entirly to figuring out what was happening to her and what to do about it. She did not think about the how or the why, as those would not help her deal with it. When it was at its worst, Treana hadn't even been able to think clearly. She needed plan in case it started to happen again.

[Highly practical. I like that.]

Startled by the new voice, Treana grabbed the first objects she saw that could be used as weapons, the lids of the trash cans she'd hidden herself behind. "Who's there?" she called.

[My name is Akansola. Don't worry, I have no intention of doing you any harm. Considering my current situation, doing so would be extremly foolish of me.]

Treana didn't put the lids down. "What the hell do you mean by that? And where are you? How about you show yourself?"

[I'm afraid that that isn't exactly possible.]

"Why the hell not?"

[Because I hapen to exist inside you.]

Treana wasn't easily surprised, but that one gave her a shock. "What the hell is that supposed to mean?"

[I mean exactly what I said. I exist only inside you.]

"Sorry, but I can't accept that that's even possible. You'll have to do something major to get me to even consider that possibility."

[All right. You have slept with fifty-five seperate people over the past two years, most of which were for cash. The ten that weren't were part of your working your way up the chain of command. You anticipate becoming the boss's girl within the next month. There have been thirteen attempts to rape you. Only one of the would-be rapists survived the attempt, and he was missing his genetalia, among other things.]

[i]That[/i] got Treana's attention. "All right, I think I'm willing to consider the posibility of what you say. But unless you can come up with something else, I'll probably remain unconvinced.

[Very well. I will give you proof.] And Akansola did. Treana suddenly found herself unable to control her body. No matter what she tried to do, her body was not under her control. After a few seconds of this, there was a new sensation, after which her body was not there anymore. She didn't have time to figure out what she was before her body returned to normal and she regained ontrol of it.

"All right, I'm convinced. Now, would you mind telling me how the hell this is possible?"

[Unfortunatly, I don't know that any more than you do. Oh, you don't have to talk. you can just think your questions, and I will hear them in the same manner as you are hearing me.]

'I'm not ready for that quite yet," Treana said. "Anyways, would you please explain just what the hell you are, and what you're capable of?"

[Certainly.] And she did. As Treana walked, Akansola explained what she was and what she was able to do. They also had pleny of time to work out agreements for control of the body, and for use of powers. lastly, they began practicing as Treana walked. They had ample time, as it would take Treana a few more hours to reach HQ. She intended to make use of the time.

[Redemption]

[COLOR=#FF0066][FONT=Trebuchet MS]Rain started to pour down from the Heavens above. Kefira stumbled around in the rain, disorientated and sick. The contents of her stomach wanted to come back up but Kefira forced it back down. She stumbled along the alleyways, trying to gain some directional sense. Numerous needle pricks could be seen all down both of her arms. Her clothes were rather ragged. She had no idea why.

" What happened......where am I........where's Rizza? Carmen? Eliza? Rickie? Joseph........"

The contents of her stomach came up and she fell to all fours, vomitting in the gutter. The rain made her olive hair plaster against her neck and face.

Noises from the end of the alleyway made Kefira look up. There was a group of boys attacking some sort of small animals. Their painfuls squeaks echoed in Kefira's ears. She instantly recognised it as the squeaks of a litter of kittens. Her mind immediately went back to her home in Africa. Images of her mother and father and the wildlife of the African savannah. One memory stood out above all.

A lioness was protecting her kittens from an invading male lion. Kefira had never seen a lioness go so berserk before. The male lion ended up extremely wounded and had to be tranquilised so they could take him back to the rehabilitation centre.

Finding the strength to stand, Kefira stumbled over to the boys.
" Stop.........please stop..........." she said. One of the boys turned around. Her vision was severly blurred and out-of-time. He had three blurred figures. But Kefira could plainly see the smirk on his face.
" Why should we? They're runts......vermin....." he sneered.
" Stop............just stop it........." she repeated. She felt hate rise in her throat and erupt in her stomach. The boy came towards her and pushed her hard, making her fall to the ground.
" And what are you going to do about it?" he spat.

Kefira looked up at him. Her eyes had turned a brilliant white. The painful squeaks of the kittens echoed inside her head, making her mind and heart full of hatred and fury.
" I said stop it," Kefira growled in a voice not like her own. It was dark, growling and furious. Her skin felt as if it was on fire. The squeaks continued in her mind. Her whole body shook with rage - a rage unlike any she had felt before.

" STOP IT!" Kefira screamed.

She snapped.

Her whole body morphed into the shape of a lioness. The only difference was the brilliant white eyes it had. Kefira, in lioness form, growled. The sound echoed down the street, making all of the boys turn towards the big cat.

What happened next was a complete bloodbath. Kefira knew what she was doing, and tried desperately to stop but the cat's body wouldn't respond. She was a spectator to a massacre. The big cat's claws ripped through the boys' bodies like a scythe through wheat - quick and easy. Some tried to run away, but the cat soon hunted them down and they suffered the same fate as their friends.

Feeling the rage and hate subside, Kefira found herself to be human again, although she realised that during her transformation, her clothes had been ripped to shreds. Her hands were covered in blood. The gutters ran red. Shivering from shock and the cold rain, Kefira scrambled over to the kittens. All had survived their attack. A maternal instinct came over her as she grabbed all six kittens and searched for a way home.

Hours later, Kefira managed to find her way back to the family she was staying with during her exchange. Leaping cat-like up to the second storey of the house, she opened her window and fell inside, landing on her bed. Kefira quickly shut the window behind her and buried herself under the blankets with the kittens up near her chest.

The sound of her door opening caught her attention. She had heard whoever it was come up the stairs. Readying herself to launch an attack if necessary, Kefira watched the figure stop dead in their tracks through the blankets. Whoever it was had noticed the ball of body in her bed. They slowly reached for a baseball bat that Kefira had been given as a gift upon her arrival in America. Rising it slowly, the figure approached the bed.

In an instant, Kefira flung herself out of the sheets and attacked the figure very cat-like. Her teeth dug into the person's arm. They yelped and dropped the bat. The force Kefira had launched herself at had knocked the two over. She was on all fours, looking over the figure when she realised who it was.

" Joseph....."
" KEFIRA!"

Naked, she collapsed onto his body, sobbing uncontrollably.[/COLOR][/FONT]

[b]OOC: [/b]Sorry about my last post, had to go in a hurry.

[color=Navy]Cassie was on the ground, her head pounded and her heart thumped rhythmically, hearing the sound loudly in her ears. She roared loudly, which made her mother back away quickly for caution. Her teeth had changed into sharp fangs, her clothes were disappearing, with her skin being covered by grey, black and brown fur. Her hands slowly changed shape, becoming large, powerful paws with claws that came along with them. Cassie howled as her face changed, her eyes changed shape and colour, they were now navy blue instead of their soft brown. Her face stretched out, nose and mouth extended into a muzzle, her nose was small, black and wet, and her mouth now had a new set of teeth and a different tongue. She grew larger slightly and was the weight of a fully grown alpha male wolf, which was the gender of the gene that she had recieved.

When Cassie's change was complete, she rolled off her side and stood on her four paws. She snarled angrily, her muzzle wrinkled and her hackles rose. She lifted her nose slightly and sniffed the air, she growled again and left the room, heading toward the front door. Her mother chased after her and opened the door as Cassie approached it. Cassie looked at her mother, sniffed her, then licked her caringly, before dashing into the rain.

Cassie was amazed at the new senses she had, her hearing was excellent, along with her vision, smell, awareness and speed. But she couldn't control her new form, the wolf inside of her was taking over mostly, but Cassie was enjoying the ride, until she could control this new form.

The wolf bound across the streets, she had smelled something interesting earlier that Cassie was unsure of, and had heard a noise too. Water splashed about as Cassie leaped into puddles, she had a determined look on the canine face, her teeth were bared in anger. They rounded a corner and saw a puppy being attacked by a boy who was smirking as he prodded it with a sharp stick. The wolf roared loudly to alert him of her presence. The boy turned to look at them, shocked, he dropped his stick.

[i][b]"Help..." [/b][/i]they heard a weak voice ask.

Cassie leaped across, tackling the boy and pinning him under the tremendous weight of a fully grown, male wolf. They roared together loudly, scaring the boy. They dug their claws into his shoulders, snarling, the rain dripping through their fur. Glaring the wolf backed off, the boy got up and ran away, slipping, but getting up again.

[b][i]"Are you alright?" [/i][/b]Cassie asked the puppy, he nodded and left, probably going back to his mother.

Cassie left for home again, arriving in the door dripping wet. Her mother rushed out with a towel and blow dryer. Slowly Cassie reverted to her human state, she was panting and dripping wet, but she still had her clothes. Her mother changed her out of the clothes and dried her up before sending her into bed to rest.

[b][color=Black]OOC: [/color][/b][color=Black]Ok, incase you're wondering, I've decided to have Cassie sharing her body with the wolf gene, which is why I title them as they.

When it's in bold italics, she's talking to another person or dog in her wolf mode or another dog is talking to her.

When she's in wolf mode, she does speak English, just she sounds like two different voices mixed together. And yes, the dogs will understand her in English, but no one else, because they can only understand her.

Until Cassie controls her powers, she will have spasms and randomly change forms.

The wolf lives in her head, who she will from now on start to talk to quite often, I haven't thought of a name for him yet, but i should have one by my next post.

[color=green]Johnny looked around his room, as his eyes seemed to focus on nothing. Something was wrong. Why was he gone for two months, and could only recall frazzeled snaps of something that he assumed went on? He sighed, and the thunderstorm, which had cut down the trees in his backyard, and burned his lawn, quelled. As he was about to get out of bed, he realized he was naked.

He stumbled to his dresser, grabbing a black, longsleeve shirt, and a red short sleeve shirt. He put the longsleeve on, then the short, his fingers gaining steadiness with every movement. He grabbed a pair of white cargo pants and a pair of boxers, and finished dressing.

"I'll be out for a bit, mom. Don't worry." Johnny told her before walking out the door. He sighed as the grass in the backyard was charred and burnt, now just a blanket of ash on the ground.

Johnny walked for nearly two hours, trying to make sense of what had happened. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't see through the fog that whoever or whatever had done with him put in his mind.

He finally gave up, and sat down on an random porch, head in his hands. He decided to take a walk to the Zoo, and check out some of the stuff there. He hadn't been there in a while, and it would be nice to revist childhood memories. Picking himself up, he slowly made his way to the Fort Kenniworth Zoo.

The administrator took his money and let him in, with and odd look at him. Johnny was so tempted to give the guy a piece of him (Just his middle finger), but he restrained hiimself. He always had a problem with temper.

As Johnny checked out the new stuff, he saw a college guys throwing stuff at the animals, and people. Johnny couldn't take it. There were people he knew there that were being humilated by these....people, if you could call 'em that.

Johnny walked up to them, slowly. He had a plan. "Hey, guys. Nice shot at that stupid faggot over there by the consession stand. I guess he doesn't need to buy any food from them, he got some free stuff from you. I found an even better place. Follow me."

Being the jocks they were, the followed him. Johnny led them into the storage room, and slammed the door. He didn't know how he was going to take them all, but he'd figure it out.

"Hey! What the fuck, kid?" One of them asked.

"This will teach ya not to pick on people. Dumbass." Johnny went to leave, the door locking from the outside only, but someone had turned it. They all went for Johnny, very pissed off.

"Oh shit..." Johnny groaned. That's when it happened. He began to change, bones breaking and molding into something new, blood and organs sloshing around to fit, and in his place, stood a panda with a sort of sashed robe on. The ground trembled, as two Warblades lept from the sold pavement into his hands, leaving holes in the ground.

"What in Christ's name?!" They all yelled. They charged him, recovering from the shock. Johnny lost control of himself, and he put his paw out, and latched the two War Katanas together, to create a sort of bladed staff. One of the jocks rand into it, trying to punch him from afar like that, as the other two came at Johnny.

Johnny whirled his massive legs into their stomachs, but one threw a hunting knife into his chest. He managed to shrug it off for then, but now he was totally enraged, He grabbed his War Katanas, and sliced through the thrower, and the other two kids. Their arms fell off.

Johnny busted down the door.

"You are free to go. However, leave the limbs you lost. They are mine now." The were too shocked to aruge. They up and left, trying to get away from him as fast as they could. Johnny slowly went back to his human, state, the knife sticking out of his upper chest. He had to get somewhere.

Johnny staggered through town before collasping on a doorstep. The last thing he remembered seeing was. "Welcome to the Masako Family"...[/color]

[Blayze]

[SIZE=1]Alec woke up, soaked through from lying on the wet ground all night. His hair was plastered against the ground, and he tasted blood in his mouth. Where had he been? Why was he on the streets?

The answers to these questions came almost instantly. He had been somewhere which wasn't his home, but he couldn't quite remember where, and he was sleeping on the streets because the people he had been with didn't know what else to do with him.

He shivered. He was freezing, and was only wearing a thin shirt and a pair of jeans. He began shivering uncontrollably, the shivers turning quickly into full body spasms. No-one saw this poor unfortunate in the back alley behind the Italian restaurant, save the rats and the boy himself. He began to cry, and then felt something which saved him from the cold. Heat began to spread through his body, and he closed his eyes. He didn't know what had saved him, but he was grateful for it.

"Oh my God!" screamed a woman's voice from the street. People ran over to him, and he felt something cold squirt over him.

"What's going on?" said a voice, "He's not even hurt!"

"But he was covered in..."

"Yes, we know what he was covered in, idiot."

"Kid, are you alright?" said a kindly voice. Alec opened his eyes, and saw a relatively elderly man looking at him, along with a crowd of other people.

"I'm cold," he said shakily.

"Well, I don't really understand how you are cold, but I guess we need to get you some clothes." The man picked Alec up, and led him towards a charity shop. He went in, and picked out some clothes, which Alec put on in the shop. He stopped shivering.

The man took him to a coffee shop, and got him a mug of hot cocoa. He sipped it gently as they sat at the table.

"Now do you mind telling me what happened back there?" said the man.

"I don't know what you're talking about."

"When we found you in that alley, you were covered in flames, and yet you're completely unharmed. Is there something you want to tell me about?"

"I don't know. I'm not sure where I have been for the last few months, and I don't know what happened to me when I was there. That might have something to do with the fire."

Suddenly, something sparked in Alec's eyes, and his body became engulfed in flames, bursting out from his body, incinerating the old man and everyone else in the coffee shop. The flames set the wooden beams in the coffee shop alight, and soon it was nothing but a flaming inferno. Alec walked out, leaving what he done behind.[/SIZE]

[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3][COLOR=DarkSlateBlue]Kite woke up agian and rolled over to look at his clock. It said five p.m. "Damn. I musta slept the whole day." He sat up this time being able to feel his feet hit the soft carpet on his floor. He slowly began to stand up and realized that he was a little stronger but it was still hard for him to stand. He grabbed his father's cane in the corner of his room and grabed a red shirt and a black hoodie. He put those on then a pair of cargos.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman][COLOR=DarkSlateBlue][SIZE=3]He opened the door and looked out the hallway. He heard the tv on in the den and looked in and saw huis aunt watching "Andy Griffith". He tried top get around her without her hearing but she turned around right before he got to the door."Kite. Where ya going?" He turned to look at her and shruged. "Dunno. I just want to get out for a little while." She got up and walked over to him, "Here. Take this umbrella. Its raining." He tool the umbrella and walked out the door and opened it. The rain was comming down hard as he walked out into the front yard.[/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR]

[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3][COLOR=DarkSlateBlue]He was slowly making his way down to the local mall when he realized that the umbrella wasnt even wet. He put the umbrella down and looked up. He saw the rain comming down but it looked as if it were trying to avoid him.He looked down at the ground and saw that it was dry where he was standing. "What the hell is going on here?" He threw the umbrella down and kept walking. When he got to the mall he passed be a tv that got his attention. There were images of what looked like a mass murderer attacked some kids and just tore them to shreds. There was also another report of a small kid that was attacked by what he described as a were-wolf. Another group of kids claimed to be brutally attacked by a young man that changed into a panda. He mooved to the next tv thart showed a reporter at a coffee shop that was on fire. He saw the text on the bottom say that an unidentified person that seemed to be ablaize ignighted the building, killing everyone then dissapeared.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

[COLOR=DarkSlateBlue][SIZE=3][FONT=Times New Roman]He kept walking and decided to go back home. While walking down the same street he came one, he sensed something strainge in the air. He fallowed his senses whice led him to an alleyway where this little kid was being jumped. Kite walked up behind the abusers and hit a garbage can with his cane."Whats all the noise?"
"Damn kis you scared us. I'm glad its only a crip though."
"Why? Cuz you would have 'fired' on his ass?"
Kite balled his fist as a weird sensation overwhelemed him,"Shut tha hell up punk."
What did you say kid?"The bigger one started walking twards him."Ithink he wants in on it." The second one threw the little kid into a dumpster and closed the lid. Kite smirked as he felt a warm gust of wind surround him."You sure your not the one thats gonna get hurt?" Kite raised his hand and saw tiny tornadoes on the tips od each finger. He started acting like it was a gun."Bang."The tiny tornado shot off of his finger and went straight through the bigger guys arm.[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3][COLOR=DarkSlateBlue]"What the hell is this kid?" Kit started to burn with rage. He put both arms next to his side as his eyes turned a misty grey. Out of nowhere two saw blade like objects made of wind formed in each hand."Enough is enough!" He raised his hands up and threw the saw blades at the two attackers and watched as it started to cut them up into little pieces. The blades would cut through them once then act like a boomarang. They just kept comming. Kite blinked as the blades dissapeared. He walked over the the garbage can and opened it, letting the little kid out. Kite looked at the dround and saw nothing but an extreamly dark red. The kid looked up at him with a scared face and took off running. Kite grabbed his cane and started walking home.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

[COLOR=DarkSlateBlue][SIZE=3][FONT=Tahoma]He got inside and saw his aunt at the door."Kite! What have you done?" He looked at her then fell to the floor and blacked out agian.[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[Revelation]

[size=1][color=#C82356]Alarms began to blare as soldiers searched for the creature who laid in wait in the vents. She did not fear the ones who carried guns nor did she fear the ones who created her. She merely wanted answers as to what she was, why she was created, and what her purpose was on this planet.

?Search that room!?

The creature became aware of those below and quickly disappeared. Her form was small and petite, permitting her to crawl through small spaces. She soon came to a room with a bed, a desk, and several other objects that humans used. She looked around and found a glossy object that reflected her image. She looked to it in curiosity and touched the surface, feeling the cold and smooth object that gave the creature her own image.

Surprised, the creature saw that she looked a lot like the humans outside. She saw that she had hair, a strange color, eyes, another strange color, and she was exposed to the cool air that filtered into the room that she was in. A chill speckled her skin, though she felt no need to shiver. She looked around and searched through the drawers, searching for something to wear and found a red dress, something that possibly was human children.

?Quick! Open this door!? A voice sounded outside and the creature looked past the metal door. A vision was shown and had shown humans holding guns. They were going to open the door. ?Hurry it up! It could be in here!?

?Be careful. The creature may be harmful and dangerous, though it looks fragile.? Another voice sounded, it was familiar. ?Is it in there??

A man holding a weapon walked in and found the creature. He cocked his head a bit to the side, wondering why a child was inside the room. The familiar voice entered the room and gasped, frightened he stumbled backwards.

?Th-th-that?s the creature! Get it! What are you waiting for?!? The human who had fallen into the arms of another human trembled as the creature stood there, wearing the red dress. The other humans with weapons were quick to try to capture the creature. ?No! You cannot capture it like that! Use the electro nets!?

[i]Why do you wish to capture Enyo? Do you wish to put Enyo through torment once more? Do you not think that Enyo can hear you, that Enyo can see you? Are you blind to see that you have created something far greater than what your small human minds can comprehend?[/i]

?Is it talking to us??

?I believe it is.? The scientist stood at this point. Its powers had grown during the time it had escaped from its confinements. ?Careful. Do not make sudden movements.?

[i]Pathetic humans. You must perish for this world needs no more torture from the likes of you.[/i]

Claws grew from the creature?s fingernails and the humans backed away. They readied themselves against the creature, though it was amazed by its claws. It then faced the humans and with quick agility, it had sliced through the skin of each human that was in its way. They had not known she had gotten past, all they could feel was searing pain from where they had been cut. Blood dripped to the floor, creating a pool of crimson red.

[i]Enyo cannot take this anymore. Enyo needs to venture out, search for what I truly am. Perhaps one of these humans will be bold enough to explain to me what I am.[/i]

The world seemed to spin as Phelan leaned his head against the wall. Right now it was taking all of his effort just to stand and avoid vomitting from the feeling of vertigo. Slowly the feelings subsided, and he took a look at his surroundings. The tiny 8' x 8' foot room was all too familiar, with it's buzzing flouresent light, and cold concrete walls. The only decore was a bed, sink, and toilet, with a few books tossed about.

[i]That's right. I screwed up big time and got caught. But, why does the room seem suddenly smaller?[/i] While trying to understand how the room had managed to shrink, he caught sight of himself in the mirror over the sink. [i]What the...! How did I managed to age like this overnight?[/i] Before he had time to think further about it the door to the confinement room opened and a familiar, and similarly older, bulk filled the door frame.

"Up and at 'em, you little dirtbag. You're being released." The voice was followed by a set of clothing landing on the bed. "I'll be back in five minutes to throw you out, regardless of whether you have changed or not." With that the door slammed shut and Phelan was left to change. It was a good thing that he had not grown too much, thanks to early growth spurts, and that his clothing had been oversided to begin with. [i]At least they still fit. Just a little more unconfortable.[/i]

As promised the cop returned five minutes later and tossed Phelan out onto the city streets once more. The strangest thing was that they were returning his motorcycle to him, too. [i]Who brided him for that little miracle?[/i] Once more the officer's voice reached out and lashed at Phelan's ears. "I don't ever want to see your little ass in this station again. Got it?"

"Yes sir, officer sir." Phelan retorted with the highest level of mock sincerity, before turning back to his bike. [i]You fat, doughnut-eating prick.[/i] Without so much as a glance back Phelan gunned the bike's engine and sped down the street at his usual insane speeds. [i]What am going to do now? The group (biker gang) wont let me back after this.[/i] Not even thinking anymore Phelan just drove, taking the corners at high speeds, and darting around traffic. Even he had no idea where he was going.

At these speeds the wet pavement had begun to become less reliable. A few times it seemed that he would find himself plastered against a wall, but every time it felt as if something had pulled him back from tilting over. Too bad his luck ran out just before a bridge. His bike swerved wildly as it hydroplaned over a large puddle. He slammed into a guardrail and was tossed over the edge. [i]Oh sh...![/i] was all he thought as the water got closer. He closed his eyes and prepared for the impact. It never came. Looking down he saw that he was floating just above the water, which rippled with the rain.

[i]Whoa![/i] A smirk crossed his face as he slowly "walked" across the water to the shore. [i]I bet the group will let me back in when I show them this little trick.[/i] Phelan laughed as he continued walking, until he lost concentration and fell into the water. [i]Maybe I should learn to control his ability first.[/i] Once more Phelan made it to his bike, and sped down the street.

Treana had kept walking, paying no attention to the rain. The rain didn't bother her; she actually welcomed it. She seldom had access to sufficcient water for cleaning herself, so any chance for a wash was always welcome.


A while after the rain had stopped, Treana saw a burning coffee house. After stopping to let the heat dry her off, she resumed walking.

[People could be dying in there,] Akansola remarked, [yet you act as though nothing is wrong.]

"People die every day, and there's nothing anyone can do about it. Besides, if I saved anyone, I'd get my face plastered all over the city, and that would be a death sentence. I can't make myself conspicuous. That would just make me an easier target to hit."

[Cold, but true. I happen to agree with you.]


It was late afternoon by the time Treana reached her destination, the headquarters of the gang Koteiro. The place was an abandoned factory. Almost everything inside was either useless or had been stolen when Koteiro moved in. What was left had been canabalized for any useful parts, then broken into pieces that could be used as weapons if necessary. Kotiero never discarded anything; they found a use for everything.

Treana's approach was seen by one of the sentires a couple minutes before she actually reached the factory. Recognising her, the sentry quickly ducked into the building to notify the gang of her approach before returning to his post.

Treana was intercepted outside of the building by a man she recognised, Kalom. He was a big guy, and strong, too. He was used to using intimidation to get what he wanted. The fact that he was no match for even a moderetly skilled hand-to-hand fighter never seemed to register with him. [He's out to get you,] Akansola warned as Kalom approached.

Not wanting to risk anyone overhearing her and thinking she was losing it, Treana replied mentally. [Kalom's threatened me a lot, but he's never gone through with anything.]

[He intends to this time. His mind is easy to read. He intends to rape you.]

[I hope he tries. I've been waiting a long time for an excuse to beat the shit out of him.]

By this time, Kalom had closed the gap. "Treana! What the hell happened to you? Jesus, girl! We thought you were dead, or the cops had you. You realize you've been gone for over two months?"

Treana didn't let her surprise show, but she was shocked internally. [i]I've been gone for more that two months? What the hell happened to me?[/i] "I haven't been able to keep track of the days," she said.

"Well, whatever. Welcome back, girl. You want to celebrate the occasion with me?"

"No thanks," Treana replied. "I don't do anybody with a negative IQ."

"Damn, do I like 'em when they're nasty. You and I are a match made in heaven."

"Personally, I consider our compatability about that of Jesus and Satan, or maybe us and the Grex or Marja boys, but you're welcome to your own oppinion. Or you would be, if that rock in your head was capable of having one."

Kalom did like girls who weren't afraid to be mean, but Treana was going a bit too far for him. "I was actually considering going easy on you, but you've pissed me off. I don't feel like being nice anymore."

"You try anything, and I'll kick your ass so hard that shit comes flying out your mouth."

That one really pissed Kalom off. "I think you need to be put in your place, bitch." Kalom charged Treana, which was a very bad move on his part. Before he knew what happened, he was on the ground with a broken nose and bruses in places he didn't even know existed. Satisfied, Treana left him lying one the ground in pain, and made her way into the factory. One of the men standing guard looked outside and Kalom, then turned to face Treana, who shrugged. "He made the first move."

[color=Navy]Cassie's mother had left for work because she was already late due to the circumstances involving Cassie. She hadn't wanted to leave at first because of Cassie, but she told her to go. She was drifting off to sleep when she heard a crash that sounded like it came from outside her house. She got out of bed slowly and moved to the door, opening it carefully and seeing a boy who had a knife sticking out of his chest. He was naked for some unknown reason, bleeding, and in pain. She blushed but kneeled, checking if he was alive, which he was, just unconscious.

Cassie carefully brought him inside, put him on the couch and dried him off first, cleaning up the blood around his body but not touching the knife. She covered his lower half with a towel and looked at him. He had blonde hair and looked about the same age as her.

She got up and went into the bathroom, retrieving the First Aid kit and some water and towels. She bit her lip lightly as she rested her left hand on his chest which was also holding a ragged towel, next to the dagger, putting down pressure. She wrapped her right hand around the handle of the knife and pulled it out quickly, putting the towel in her left hand over the wound and applying pressure to try to stop the bleeding. Cassie put the knife down and looked at his face, it had a pained look, but he was still unconscious. His blood started to soak through the towel, she had to switch towels after the first became too soaked with blood. After a while the blood started to lessen. Cassie lifted the towel away and inspected the wound, cleaning it with a damp towel to wipe away the blood.

Cassie opened the First Aid kit, getting out a sterilised needle, thread, the roll of cloth bandage, antiseptic and one of the strips of leather. She wedged the strip into his mouth, in case he ground his teeth. She was scared, she didn't know who this person was, but their smell told her that she could trust them for now. Cassie threaded the needle and poured antiseptic over the wound. She began to stitch the wound slowly, she would have done it faster, but she was still tired from her transformation. When she was finally finished she cut the thread away and lifted his torso so he was in a sitting position. She quickly wrapped a few layers of the bandage around where the stitches were and clipped it there.

Cassie yawned and saw that it had taken her an hour to stitch the wound. She looked at him again, watching before taking the leather strip and disposing it, then packing away the kit and returning it to its rightful place. Cassie went to the closet and got a spare pillow and blanket, tucking the pillow under his head and spread the blanket over his body.

[b]"Now, I'm going back to sleep."[/b] Cassie said to herself.

[i][b]"Who is that? He doesn't seem familiar in your memories." [/b][/i]A voice in her head said.

Cassie jumped and looked around, before actually realising it was from her head.

[b]"Who are you? Why are you in my head?" [/b]Cassie demanded.

[i][b]"Shh, there's no need for you to talk aloud, people will think you're crazy, just think it to me and I'll hear you. And my name is Ryuai, Ryu for short. I am the Wolf gene that you were given, the male wolf that you change into, like earlier tonight." [/b][/i]The wolf explained.

[i][b]"A wolf gene I was given? What are you talking about, I don't remember any of that."

"Don't worry, all will be revealed to you later in time. Just know that I am here to guide and help. I will be mostly in control when we change in spasms like earlier until you learn how to control these powers." [/b][/i]Ryu told her.

[i][b]"Ok ok, whatever, I'm just tired from whatever happened earlier. I'm going to bed and I'll talk to you later." [/b][/i]Cassie sighed, her head hurting more with the added stress and confusion.

Cassie practically fell into her bed and straight into a sleep/nap.

[color=green]It was some time before Johnny returned to conciousness, his sight blurred with his concious fuzzy. He sat up, a thin blanket all that was over him. [i]Wha....t? Where in the hell am I?[/i] Johnny asked himself, looking around as his eyes began to focus. He wasn't home....

Johnny's hand went to his chest,and felt a gause bandage taped on with medical tape. The recent events leaked back into his mind slowly, bits and pieces. As he remembered what had happened, he realized something.

He was naked. Johnny almost laughed, but then he turned scarlet. Where was he? Johnny got up, tying the sheet around his waist, so anyone who saw him wouldn't freak out. As much. Johnny groaned as he began to walk, the blade wound stretching and pulling back open.

Johnny explored the house, looking around at everything, from the fireplace, to the bathroom, to the bedrooms. In the last bedroom, Johnny looked at the sleeping form for a while. [i]She...'s beautiful.[/i] Johnny thought, then wanted to punch himself in the jaw, hard enough to break it.

That wasn't any way to talk about the one who saved your life. Johnny looked at her for a time more, then sat down on the couch where he woke up, finally laying down. What a confusing day.[/color]

[Sakura]

[color=Navy]Cassie was sleeping lightly, she had never been a heavy sleeper and she sat up after her body felt she'd had enough sleep. She rubbed her eyes first, still trying to get used to her enhanced senses. Her sensitive ears twitched at a rustling in the house. She lifted her nose and sniffed, she recognised the foreign smell as the visitor that had quite literally, fallen on her doorstep. From the rustlings she could hear he was awake. Cassie decided to introduce herself and find out about him.

She got out of bed and slowly walked to the lounge where the sound was coming from. She peeked over the top of the couch and saw him lying there.

[b]"Hi, my name's Cassie Masako." [/b]she smiled, leaning her head on her folded arms that rested on the top of the couch. The boy jumped slightly.

[b]"Hi, I'm Johnny Miller, nice to meet you. And I assume that you fixed my wound, thankyou." [/b]he said smiling back at her.

[b]"Not a problem." [/b]Cassie said, absentmindedly scratching her furry ears.

[b]"What the...? You've got furry ears!" [/b]Johnny realised, taking a better look at her.

[b]"Uh...yeah, well, that's kinda hard to explain since I don't even understand, but yeah, I have this wolf thing living in me." [/b]Cassie told him, kinda nervous and embarrassed.

[b]"Man, that's weird...And you've got a tail?!" [/b]he shrieked, seeing the waving appendage.

[b]"Yeah, that's another of the several things..."

"There's more?!" [/b]Johnny was shocked by now, kneeling up on the couch to look at her from where she'd been backing away.

Cassie told him about the streaks in her hair, she hadn't dyed them; her sharp canines; enhanced senses; retractable nails; and of course the power of completely changing into a wolf.

Johnny was surprised to say the least, not expecting that, and hadn't noticed it when she was sleeping.

[b]"But I was wondering, what happened to you? I heard a crash outside of my door and found you lying on my doorstep with a knife sticking out of your chest." [/b]Cassie said, walking around the sofa and sitting on a recliner, crossing her legs and looking at him.
[/color]

[Engel]

[color=green] "About that..." Johnny started. "Well, ya see...its kind of hard to explain. I'll start from the beggining. Today I woke up in my own bed. Which is strange, according to my mother. She said I've been gone for two months or so. I was confused, so I decided to take a walk to calm my nerves and try to remember.

I couldn't think of anywhere to go, so I grabbed a few bucks and went down to the zoo. I paied, got in, and began looking at the stuff.

Well, after a while, there were these frat guys who were messing around with people and the animal, throwing things, from paper cups to bricks, so I kinda...well...went to stop them. I went to lock them in the storage closet, but someone locked it before I could get out.

So I was getting beat on in the dark until my eyes ajusted. When they still persisted...something happened.

See, I've kinda got something like you going on. See...I can become a giant panda who has twin War Katanas." Johnny hung his head, cheeks scarlet with embarrassement. [i] I must sound retarded...[/i]

"So they kept punching me and throwing stuff, and I kinda....lost control. Each one of them is an arm shorter. I don't know...I just...couldn't control it. Like it was an arena, and I was a spectator watching in horror.

One of them threw this hunting knife, and it hit me in the chest. They all ran off, leaving their arms behind, and I was left, back to human form, to stagger and find somewhere." Johnny put his head in his hands.[/color]

[SIZE=1]Alec sat in an alleyway, his head in his hands, thinking about what he had done. That old man had been the only one in a long time who had cared about him, and he had killed him. He was a calm, sensible young man, and now he was going around setting fire to buildings and killing people. He didn't like what he had become.

He cupped his hands, and a tiny ball of flame appeared in them. It spiralled round in his hands, and he smiled. Then, without reason or explanation, it expanded, engulfing his hands and burning all the oxygen around him away. He choked, and moved his hands, trying to extinguish the flames. They grew out of control, and he ended up throwing the fireball into the air. It spun into the sky, and dissipated. He sat back down, and decided he needed some sort of control. He began to practice with his power. He created another fireball, but this time he concentrated hard on it. He maintained it's size, keeping it within the confines of his hands.

"It's not so hard after all," he said to himself.

"Hey," a voice said, "Are you the kid who was in the coffee shop earlier?"

Alec looked up. There was a cop standing there, hand on gun, looking unforgiving.

"What if I was?" asked Alec nervously.

"My partner was in there, getting coffee when you burnt that place down. He's dead because of you, you little punk!"

"I couldn't help it, sir, I went out of control!" pleaded Alec.

"I couldn't care less whether you went out of control! My buddy's dead becaused of you!" The cop drew his gun and aimed at Alec, who put his hands up.

"It's no good surrendering! I'm not arresting you, I'm gonna kill you!" shouted the cop.

"I'm sorry!" shouted Alec. At that moment, a jet of flame burst forth from his hands, and engulfed the cop. He screamed in pain, and Alec closed his hands, stopping the stream, and covered his eyes. He heard the cop burn to death in a matter of minutes, screaming through the agonising pain. Alec just turned and ran, trying to find a safe place...[/SIZE]

"Oh dear, you're awake. I was so worried," his mother said coming thru the door.

[COLOR=Navy]"How did I end up here?" Kain said trying to remember.[/COLOR]

"Oh your sister found you on the floor and we took you back home," his mother added, "You were out for several days. Where were you?"

[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3][COLOR=DarkSlateBlue]Kite woke back up in his room and sat up quickly,"Where? What tha hell did I do last night?" He sowly mooved his feet to the ground and tried to stand. He was able to stand without the cane but it was still a little hard. He began walking to the kitchen to get something to eat but saw a note. His aunt had gone to work and told him to go to school when he got up. There was a note next to the first one letting him check in."Screw that. I need to find out more." He made himself a sandwich and heated to the door, locking it behind him.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3][COLOR=DarkSlateBlue]He decided to investigate what he saw on the news and check out the diner. It would be a good place to start. Then he remembered the little kid that was there the night before."Oh shit! I hope that kid didnt rat me out or I would be screwed!" He slowly began to walk a little faster to try and get around anyone that would notice him if the kid told. He was scared. An emotion that he had thought he lost a long time ago. The immage of blood kept popping into his mind. He shudderd. He kept his head down and tried not to make eye contact with anyone. thats when he saw a puddle of blood on the ground. "Thats alot of blood. They must be pretty light headed right now." He looked at where the trail had come from and saw that it came in the direction of the zoo. "Maybe I should check this out before I go to the dinner?" He looked into the window of the house that had the puddle of blood. He saw two shadows moving around and decided to pay them a visit.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3][COLOR=DarkSlateBlue]Kite walked up to the door and paused. He thought to himself,[I]What if it is someone diffrent?

Treana made her way through the factory, not really surprised at all by how little had changed in the time she'd apparently been gone for. Koteiro had a working system, and aside from a few minor adjustments, their system was exactly the same as it was when first implemented. Basically, everyone had a job. Maintaining the place wasn't hard, but it was a big place, so several people were assigned to that at any one time. Others were on sertry duty, or out doing whatever needed to be done. If you didn't have something you were currently doing, it meant you were sceduled for a break durring the current shift.

Not everybody lived at the factory, although a good number did, Treana included. But there were quite a few members who actually held respectable jobs, frequently well-paying one. What money they didn't need personally they used to supply Koteiro. Sure, needed items were stolen if necessary, but something as large as Koteiro could not be maintained by theft alone. Because of this, anyone with an actual job was one of the gang's suppliers. These people coordinated among themselves, figureing out who was in charge of buying what. And when there was enough extra cash saved up, items other than the necessities were purchased. Koteiro owned a surprising number of fiction books (Koteiro has an unusually high literacy rate for a gang), a few TVs including two HD sets, VCRs, DVD players, a large selection of movies in both formats, a rather impressive selection of video games along with every past and present major console, and large number of radios and CD players, along with a large selection of CDs to choose from.

Everything was always kept at a volume too low to be heard outside the factory, and all recreational activity abruptly ceased if a sentry shouted a warning. If someone tried to atack, Koteiro gave them a fight, and they would always win. They had men positioned for maximum effectiveness, and they all knew the area well. They always repelled attacks successfully.

Eventually, Treana found the man she was looking for. Kajo was second-in-command of Koteiro, and she'd been his girl before the over two months that she'd been gone for.

"Nice to see you, Treana," Kajo said. "We'd assumed that you were dead, or the cops had you. I'm glad we were wrong. I'd love to know what did happen."

"So would I. I have no memory of the time I've been gone for. Our fight with Grex was interupted by the cops, and I ditched the two cops who chased me. Next thing I know, I'm waking up behind a dumpster in some alley. I came back here as quickly as I could."

"Well, your return caused quite a ruckus. I hope you didn't have any problems getting in."

"Well, Kalom finely worked up the courage to try and rape me, but there were no other difficulties."

Kajo laughed. "Kalom finely gave it a go, huh? I hope you didn't beat him up too badly. He may be a dick, but he's useful."

"He'll be recovering for a few days, but nothing more. The only thing I actually broke was his nose. Oh, and his ego."

At that point, a sentry leapt through the nearby window. "We've got an unknown headed our way," He told Kajo. "Dude looks paniced. He's running in our general direction, away from a dead cop's body. A dead cop's burning body. It looked to me like this kid lit the copper on fire and freaked out. He may very well end up running in here out of sheer panic."

"I'll cut him off," Treana said. "Yes, Kajo, I know I just got back, but this shouldn't be difficult. I've never met anyone I cvan't handle." [i]Besides,[/i] she thought to herself, [i]It gives me a chance to test Akansola's abilities in a real situation.[/i] Before Kajo could say anything, she was off. She headed outside and had Akansola locate the kid, easy because of she sheer panic he was feeling. Treana moved to intercept him and find out just what the hell was going on.

OOC: Tag, Anarchy

[Redemption]

[COLOR=#FF0066][FONT=Trebuchet MS]" Kefira.......what the hell....." Joseph said as she sobbed into his clothes, making a large wet patch. He sat up and covered her in a towel respectfully. She had her face in her hands, sobbing.

" Kefira.....what's the matter? Where have you been? Your parents in Kenya have been worried sick about you. Everyone here had been frantically trying to find you. What happened?"

She didn't hear what her step big brother was saying. The images of the boys' body parts flying everywhere kept playing over and over in her mind.
" I couldn't control it....... what's wrong with me........ those boys ...... it wasn't my fault....." Kefira cried.
Joseph sat there shocked. " Kefira what are you talking about?"
She buried her face into his shoulder sobbing.

Two hours later and Kefira had come back to her sense, although to the Esperanz family, her character had changed somewhat. She had become more animal-like and jumpy. As they sat at the dinner table eating a Spanish broth made by Carmen, the mother, Rizza, Eliza and Joseph watched as Kefira jumped at any small noise.

During the two hours, Kefira had calmed down and managed to rejoin the family. Although all noticed that wherever Kefira went, the kittens she saved went to. All found this bizarre but Kefira.

Eating the broth quickly, Kefira found her appetite quenched for the moment.
" Excuse me Carmen, but can I have some milk?"
Carmen looked up. " Sure. For the kittens?"
" Yes."
" All right. You know where it is."

Kefira thanked her, walked to the fridge and got the milk out. She poured it into a small bowl and walked over to her small furry friends. They immediately hopped out of the box she was keeping them in and came over to the bowl Kefira set down.

To the Esperanz family, Kefira started out fairly shy and introverted. But as she got to know them, she became more talkative and friendly. They noticed she was rather shy by nature and very innocent since she'd never lived in a city before. But now she was rather independent, strong willed and minded. Her disappearance either toughed her up, or something major, and most likely illegal, happened to her.

Standing up, she looked at everyone.
" I need to go for a walk. I'll be back. I'm talking my pager with me." Her voice sounded strong and powerful. They were all shocked.
" Sure," Rickie said.
" Take care of them while I'm gone," Kefira said.
" Don't worry. We'll take care of them," said Rizza, meaning her and her sister Eliza. Kefira nodded and walked out of the house.

Out onto the street in the suburbs, Kefira became aware of her heightened senses. She inspected the needle pricks in her arm.
" How did I get like this?"
Flashes of memory ran through her head: a laborotory, doctors in white coats, innumerable needles with various coloured liquids in them, a tank with bubbling water.

A sudden pain ripped through her spinal cord.
" Ah!" she cried out. Those memories brought back so much pain. What did those people do to her?

With her face grimaced in pain, Kefira sat down in a park nearby the school she attended before her apparent disappearance. She looked at her hands.
" If I can turn into a lioness, I wonder what other creatures I can turn into? I wonder if I can turn into dragons or an angel?"
Thinking about the possibilities, Kefira watched across the street where a boy stood at a door, waited for it to be answered.[/COLOR][/FONT]

[color=Navy]Cassie nodded as she listened to Johnny's account of what happened. She was extremely interested since she though she was the only freak, but to find out that he turned into a giant panda fascinated her.

[b]"Gee, and you freaked out about me becoming a wolf when you change into a huge panda that can kill?!" [/b]Cassie reacted.

Johnny laughed nervously and rubbed the back of his head. Cassie just smiled, her tail wagged slightly, trapped by the couch she was sitting on.

[b]"I guess that explains the knife wound, it's there, that's a pretty nasty knife to have stuck in your body." [/b]Cassie said, indicating to the table where she had left the bloody weapon. Johnny looked at it and shuddered.

[b]"I know what you mean about watching it though, I didn't have control over my wolf form either. But I didn't kill anyone, they may have a bit of bleeding and bruises but that's it." [/b]Cassie sighed, her ears lay back as she sighed, leaning into the recliner comfortably.

Cassie remembered that Johnny was still naked and excused herself, taking some clothes from her father's room and giving them to him to wear for now. They were a bit too big but it was the best she could do, he accepted them and changed while Cassie made them something to eat.

When Cassie returned with sandwiches, Johnny was on the couch again in the oversized clothes. She set the plate in front of him and took her own back to the recliner. They continued to talk, finding out about each other and more about their powers.

Cassie yawned sleepily, revealing her sharp canine teeth before closing her mouth and leaning back into the recliner.

[b]"Come on Johnny, let's go outside." [/b]Cassie said standing.

[b]"But its still raining..." [/b]he said, looking out the window.

[b]"It doesn't matter, we'll go somewhere better than the house, its too boring in here." [/b]Cassie pleaded, tugging on his arm.

He watched her and nodded, Cassie rejoiced, then went to get changed from the sleeping clothes she'd been wearing. She changed into another bunch of her usual clothes, because she had several of the same outfit, putting on a water-proof, hooded jacket. She got one from her father's clothes again and gave that to Johnny. They prepared themselves and left the house, locking the door behind them.

Cassie walked around with Johnny, not minding the rain. They went to the deserted park that was near her house and sat on the swings to talk for a while, Cassie revealed more about herself as she started to draw patterns in the damp sand.

[SIZE=1]Alec ran down the street as fast as he could, leaving a slight trail of flame in the air behind him. His hand was still flaming. He shook it, which extinguished the flames, and carried on running.

As he ran, an arm flew out in front of him, and struck him in the chest, sending him flying to the ground.

"Where do you think you're going in such a hurry?" asked the person who had just clothes-lined him. It was a tall woman, wearing dirty clothes, with two metal poles strapped to her back.

Alec flipped onto his feet, with strength he didn't know he had, and held his hands out to either side of him.

"Seriously, lady, you don't want to get involved with me. I'm dangerous," he said nervously.

"Oh yeah?" she said, "Show me what you got." She got into a readied stance, all her muscles primed and ready to spring at a moment's notice.

"Fine," he said darkly. Flames burst forth from his hands, and engulfed almost his entire body. His eyes blazed with fire and fury, and he became a human ball of flame. He stretched his hands out in front of him, and fire spewed forth from them, coursing over the woman. She dodged and leapt onto the wall, where she sprang off behind Alec, and drew one of her poles. He shot a burst of flame backwards, and she went flying before falling to the ground.

"I told you I'm dangerous!" he shouted in a different voice, this one deep and booming, full of rage. He rose into the air a few feet, then turned himself over and flew at the woman like a blazing comet...[/SIZE]

Treana made a well-timed dodge, causing the boy to sail past her. This opponent was clearly not what anyone would call normal. Treana would be in trouble if not for her own unusual advantages. [Akansola, take over! Kep human form, but otherwse do whatever you have to. Just don't kill him. He may be related to whatt happened to me.]

Because it was entirely internal, it had taken Treana very little time to 'say' what she 'said.' Akansola's taking control of the body was also quick, and was done before the opponent was able to turn around. The boy came flying back at Akansola, but never reached her. Akansola reached out with her mind, telekineticly pushing the boy into a wall. He didn't have time to put himself out, so the currently empty house he hit started burning.

The boy sent out a stream of fire at Akansola. However, she was able to read the move in his mide before he made it, and so had an easy time dodging the attack. Using telekinesis, she expedited the house's collapse, forcing the boy out into the open. the two of them faced each other.

[Let me handle the talking,] Treana told Akansola. [I'll take control, but I want you to stay alert. Keep watching his thoughts. If he looks like he's going to attack again, take over and deal with him.]

"That was an interesting display," Treana said. "I don't know how you did that, but you are probably equally unknowing of how I did what I did. If you choose to continue fighting, I will have no choice but to kill you. However, I have no desire to do so. A fight was never my intention."

"Then what do you want?"

"Well, let's start with your name."

"It's Alec," the boy said. "What's yours?"

Treana knew better than to give her real name to a total stranger. Fortunatly, Koteiro had worked out a system. every member had at least two false names, and hand signals were used to indicate when a false name was being used and which name it was. These signals looked like ordinary movements to everyone who didn't know their purpose, but everyone in Koteiro would know the meaning and use the person's appropriate false name until the person indicated that there was no longer a need to do so.

"My name is Kana," Treana said. "I don't know what's going on here. Do you have any idea how you got the powers you demonstrated?"

"No. I don't remember what happened."

[i]No information from him, then,[/i] Treana thought. [i]At least, no direct information. He may still have clues. I'll have to keep talking to him as Kana. The whole nine yards, too: Kana's personality, Kana's job as a martial arts instructor, Kana's everything. Nothing about Koteiro, Akansola, or anything else about my actual life comes out.[/i]

"You may know something that's useful to me," Treana said. "As you experienced, I have certain abnormal abilities of my own. I choose not to reveal their extent, but you've seen enough to know that I have them. And like you, I don't know why I have them. I would appreciate it if you could tell me anything you do remember. It may help me solve this puzzle."
