~You're not the only one~
~Arke~

"Yeah, we do have a problem, don't we Shinta?" Arke unsheathed his sword as well.

"G-guys? What are you talking about?" Lune piped up wondering what they were planning on doing.

"Even though you didn't die from the hyperresonnance we created, your brother wanted to kill me. He just wants you to himself. He's too dependant on his family. Well you're not the only one who lost their parents! Mine died just a month ago! And I've been able to keep my cool!" Arke took a step forward.

'I've been able to because of Serenity's promise...' He thought.

"I'm sorry Lune. But all this anger, I've got to get rid of it! But I refuse to mortally wound you, Shinta!" His eyes flashed red.

'But I didn't say anything about my friends...' Two wolves jumped down from a tree and tackled Shinta to the ground. They were being controlled by Arke . . .

"Th 8's treasure room...pretty nice don't you think," in very happy tone as he followed Drake into the treasure room.

" *sign* Bel, we already have a large archive of techniques and spells...you," he pointed out, "besides from what I can hear they are mostly for those descendants of the 8."

"Hmph, your no fun anymore," she pouted.

Chuckling, "Well sorry fro being a kill joy."

"You better be," she huffed.

He looked back at the airship the angelus were talking among themselves, not trusting them as far he could strangle them he sneaked next gathering,

"Hey, what could be in there? Treasure?" one rat faced one said excitedly.

"I don't know we could always come and raid this place when they leave," one pointed out.

"We could always kill them when they get on board and take what they have and what's back in the hole over there,"

He heard enough he went back to the room. he needs to tell Drake and the others that their ancestors' skills were in trouble of falling into the wrong hands and he needs to find a way to seal it.

~Shinta~

"Dammit!"

The wolves were awfully strong, but Shinta immediately skewered them with icicles jutting from the ground.

"JUST WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?" Shinta leapt up.

"No, I'm not too dependant! Yes, I may be a little jealous but you . . . YOU'RE JUST WORTHLESS SCUM! Hell, I highly doubt your human!" Shinta charged at Arke, katar drawn. He jumped, unleashed his wings, and brought the weapon down on his opponent.

~Shinta~

"H-hey!! Damn it, I hate it when I'm right!" Shinta sheathed his weapon as he ran to Arke.

"Lune . . . Please help him . . . I'm sorry sis . . ."

~Lune~

"Save it for later, okay brother?" Lune said going by Arke's side. The metal had ripped through the back of his shirt. She had no time for awkward moments. Lune ripped off the shirt completely.

"My god . . . look at his skin!" Swells and blood surrounded each place where his "wings" came from. In the middle of his back his distorted tattoo was glowing.

"Shinta, please help me put these . . . things . . . back in Arke's body." She placed her hand on the mark and began healing him...

~Shinta~

"Oh my Yulia," He breathed as he placed his hands where his sister's were. He began to pour his mana into a healing spell.

"I guess we're lucky mom and uncle survived this. What the hell were these people doing? I didn't know . . ."

'But . . . me come to Dyecroft? Why . . . what's awaiting me there?'

~Roy~

"Whoa what's going on over here? Why does Arke have metal stuff coming out of him? And if any of the angelus ask I'm a human and I'm a scientist. Just to make sure. Lune, Arke, Shinta I got all of the treasure that Fang left for you guys. Check it out and I got a few extras just in case."

"Fang also instructed for us to set a special seal on the throne so no one can get in unless we open the seal. But that can wait," Roy said wandering over to the grup.

----------------------------------------------------------------

HeavenGundam
Posted 1/14/2008 7:43:09 PM:

"Oh my god..."was all Belderiver say when she saw the metal wings on Arke's back.

"What were they thinking?" he said said in utter disgust snapping out his thoughts he threw a cold glance at the angelus group from Dyecroft.

He stepped up next to them while they were healing him, he whispered to Lune's ear, "Those guys are up to something take what you need from the shrine and seal it. Make sure no one else can enter it but you." not taking his eyes of the group that came of the airship.

He walked away to speak with Drake and tell him what he over heard, if one could see clearly, his right hand clenched hard and bleeding.

~Drake~

"Hmm, so, we have no friends then. Widdershin wants to kill me, along with all angelus, probably. Serentity sent these corrupt scum bags. Well, here's an idea. whats to stop us from just taking out the whole lot of them, and taking the airship, hmm? I think thats a good idea, while they are distracted by Arke's monstrous metal rods. Wanna try it?, cause we gotta get to the tower of Rem, now."

Without waiting for a reply, Drake casually walked over to the stunned angelus commander.

"Hey buddy,"

"What the heck do you want, hu-"

Drake punched him in the stomach, twisting as he heard the angelus's rib's crack. Drake spun, pulling out his lance. Quickly, he knocked out the two nearest angelus.

"quick everyone, take out these angelus and get on the ship! If you need anything from the shrine, hurry up and get it! Lune, get Arke on the ship pronto, and take him to the healing bay. Shinta, you help her, and take out the guards in the ship. move move move!"


~Castle widdershin~

"Crap," Cain said, slowly floating in the highest tower. "Sataint is destroyed. Looks like my plans will have to start with out her. Oh well."

There was a soft rap on the door.

"Come in."

Widdershin slowly opened the door, walking inside and bowing.

"Yes father, you wanted to see me?"

Cain was still in Ganser's form.

"Yes. It is time to initiate project angel extermination."

"Okay,"

"Well, I believe you have an announcement to make."

"Yes sir,"

Widdershin exited the room. Cain smiled, this was gonig well.


~the next day~

widdershin stood on the balcony coming out of his room. Trumpets blared to the murmuring crowd below him that he had a proclamtion.

"My loyal subjects," he began. "The angelus have become a total threat to the well being of our country. We need to eliminate this threat. Currently, we have special facilities all set up. There will be a reward for any who manage to catch an angelus and bring it in. Now, it is also time for our big assualt. The end of this dreadful war is near. THE ANGELUS SHALL DIE!"

The crowd bellow cheered.

"Currently, we have a crack squad going to take Serenity out. She shall die before the waning of the moon!"

More cheering.

"That is all for now."

Widdershin turned to leave as there was more applause.

~Roy~

"Shinta, Lune wait. We've got to seal the shrine. It says that you two should be involved in sealing it. Let's see hold your hands out. and focus your mana at the door. Keep focusing alright it's done. Let's go," Roy said hurrying into the ship.

"Man Cheska this sucks. Another crime the angelus can blame me for. If the humans find out about me I'll lose pretty much all my customers. I wonder what we'll do to return our lives to normal after this. I mean they'll know it was us so we're not safe with angelus anymore," Roy sighed finding Cheska in the ship.

~Lune~

She nodded to what Orpheus said. She couldn't take her eyes off Arke. This entire time...

No. Ever since she met him he's been hiding this sad secret. Lune suddenly felt bad for all the times she's scared him.

The tattoo disappeared and the metal fingers went back into his skin. She flipped his body over, stomach facing up. Lune's eyes widened in horror.

She shrieked. "His ribs . . ." His chest started to move strangely. His ribs seemed to come back in place. The metal rods on his back make up his rib cage.

"Shinta help me take him onboard the airship." Lune picked him up, eyes still wide.

~Dyecroft~

"So he's finally broken free of my control, eh?" Octave said to himself alone in his office. Grand General of Lady Serenity's forces. He was the one responsible for making Arke the way he was, not Serenity. She didn't even know.

He turned to his monitor, displaying data. "Shinta Ean Raine." He said looking at the available information about him. "He truly is unique. With Arke and Shinta's help I'll stop this war. No one dieing for anything."

"Of course it'll be hard for any to remember these events once everyone on the planet is . . ." He stopped and laughed. Now all he needs is the weapon Shinta.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Posted 1/14/2008 8:30:50 PM:

"Discretion is not your strong point is it?" he asked in stunned manner when Drake creamed the commander.

"Being sneaky doesn't strike him as the type," she commented.

Seeing the chaos the was sure to ensue he smirked, "Hey Bel when was the last time we fought for fun."

He could see her grin like a chesire cat, "Not in a while..." her ruby core glowed malevolently scaring the pants off the nearby scumbags.

"Well let remedy that shall we?" he hollered throwing his cloak towards some the guards only to be crushed by its immense weight.

Twirling Belderiver in one hand, unsealed his wings and settling in low stance, "Hey Drake I bet I could get more than you! Shadow Step!" making a repeat performance of what he did to the crystals making short work of many angelus.

Belderiver smiled inside the sword. it has been a long time since Orpheus had acted his age, maybe this wasn't such a bad thing after all.

~Shinta~

"Right . . ." Together the siblings carried Arke into the healing facility.

"Man, what in the world are these angelus doing? And to think it began with Uncle Liam really. Unless, you, somehow, had a kid while I was away . . ." Shinta jokingly laughed at Lune.

~Cheska~

"All of us . . . I guess we are all going to be responsible for a larger war. How am I going to cure anyone now, especially when I can't get near them? I guess a lot of trouble is heading our way, huh? Don't think this is all your fault, Roy," Cheska smiled lightly.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Kieo1
Posted 1/14/2008 9:09:15 PM:

~Roy~

"Yeah but we'll figure a way out. Plus there might be an easy way to spread your cure at the Tower of Rem. Haven't been in an airship in a while," Roy said looking around.

"We'll need to find something to pass the time. You want to teach me some more? Or I could show you some of the stuff I know. I've got to look over these new maps any ways," Roy said walking around, "I wonder if they have any drinks here. Anything will do. Did they take out all the angelus or what?"

----------------------------------------------------------------

LennaSuzaka
Posted 1/14/2008 9:56:33 PM:

~Cheska~

"I suppose so . . . Every angelus is cleared. Roy, I say you teach me the ways of treasure hunting for once. How about it?" Cheska sat on one of the railings as she gripped onto the wood.

~Serenity's story~
"*cough cough*" Serenity weezed. Her voice growing weak. "The master of death...no" She weezed again.

"Lady Serenity," Her attendant called helping her to her feet.

"His soul is waning, he may not have much time." Serenity called. Another soldier ran in.

"Serenity we have lost contact with one of our ground forces." He shouted across the room.

"The airship fighters...tighten the defences, our spy in widdershins castle has reported that a Widdershin is launching his extermination. Have all the bases security locked." She ordered.

"Yes ma'am." The soldier raced off.

"My dear angelus children...only a select few are born with true strength...its not fair that you are forced to use your powers like this...Liam would not have wanted that." Serenity whispered. "In the end...we are mortals too...and open to corruption,"

~Lune~

"Ha ha! Thanks Shinta I needed a good laugh." Lune said smiling.

"We should seal up that shrine before we leave. Come on lets go together." The siblings left the room. Arke was lying on the bed, passed out . . .

----------------------------------------------------------------

LennaSuzaka
Posted 1/15/2008 11:13:28 AM:

~Shinta~

"Yeah, let's go." Shinta jumped off the railing and unsealed his flaming wings. He made sure he could see white, silky wings before going to far.

Together they landed at the shrine.

"Well, you ready? Apparently we have all of the treasure . . ."

'Wait!'

"Hmm?" Shinta looked around.

"Lune, you hear that?"

"No . . . what's wrong?" Lune asked.

"Well someone just said wait and . . ."

'Shinta!! Lune!'

Two silhouettes appeared in front of the siblings.

Both looked youthful, their age seeming in their mid twenties. However, Shinta and Lune knew better.

Raven hair tipped with white . . . blue eyes . . .

Blue short hair . . . green eyes . . .

"Mom! Dad!" Shinta was overjoyed at the sight. "Wait . . . you're not the undead again, are you?"

"Do you see us attacking you? I think not." Leira grinned.

"Anyways, we don't have a lot of time to see you both. Let's just say we had a special pass from the netherworld to see you two. Oh, and good job kicking Fang's ass, Shinta. And Lune . . . you're grounded for kicking mine." The woman laughed softly.

"Anyways . . . we just want to tell you to take up those artifacts. Well more like our weapons and crap like that. I guess they can be considered old . . . not to mention something horrid is afoot . . . I mean about Arke . . . care to explain Airez? I bet you have a couple things to say to them."

~Serenity's story~

"Uh, hmm." Serenity said waking up.

"M'lady, are you ill," A gaurd asked.

"No. I just needed to rest...I feel my soul growing more detached day by day, but I know that they will be safe. No one needs to know." Serenity said conealing her past within her eyes.

~Gig's story~

"Oh brother Xin." Gig called sitting in the throne room. The netherworld was in chaos. With the soul gates sealed the cycle of spirits was in disaray.

"Yes, what information do you have." Gig questioned one of his gaurds.

"I see, so both of their souls incarnated. Yes the signiture picked up is exactly like that of the heroes." Gig said analysing the data.

"Hmmmm, so it wasn't an anomoly. So...why wont they respond to me?" Gig pondered.

"And...he still hasn't been captured yet."

~Roy~

"Alright here let's sit at this table over here. I need to look over these new maps. Alright here are my map tools. First you look at the map to ssee if it's fragile and won't brake on contact. If it is don't touch it put it in one of these cases. In most cases their not fragile. Now this is a ruin's map. I normally analyze these maps looking for where possible traps are."

"But what I like to do is make exact copies of every map. If there's some missing leave it empty. When I have the time I make several copies. I write different stuff on them as where the treasure is, what types of monsters, etc. I keep two maps a grand map, and the original. And I plan to save the others. That's the basics of preparing for entering a ruin and examining map. This is what yo do to treasures..." Roy said with a grin.

~Lune~

"Arke . . . oh yeah! That kid Lune's going out with!" Airez grinned.

"I see you haven't changed dad! Now come on, you don't have a lot of time!"

"Just wanted to get that off my back. I haven't made fun of you in 40 years! Okay lets get serious." Airez started to pace in front of his children

"First off: Everything I say is true. I'd like to say somethings but we don't have the time to go through all the possibilities. Arke still has a few secrets, but nothing bad. So Shinta, please don't act all hostile to him. Speaking of which, Shinta, you may be in grave danger. And only your group can really save the world by someone working in the shadows." Lune was focused.

"This man i'm talking about, his name is Octave. He is the one who put those crude wings on Arke. He was planning on making an army of angelus that only do what he says. But it was too expensive and with that he got too much attention. Now he's found another way: Through you, my son. And thats all I know." Airez smiled again.

"Any last words, Leira?"

----------------------------------------------------------------

HeavenGundam
Posted 1/15/2008 3:44:44 PM:

"Die!" he shouted as he watched Orpheus strike down ally after ally.

He leaped up in the air and aimed to slice him in half when his back was turned on him. Alas, before he made contact, without looking Orpheus parried his over head slash knocking him wide open.

"Sorry, can't die yet I have much to do...you on the other hand," a downward vertical slash made quick work of him. He saw his blood spurt out and then all went black...

-------------------------
With the last of the ground troops now taken care off, he picked up his cloak and with a swirl of cloth and a soft click he fastened it securely. Flicking the blood off Belderiver he sheathed her on his back,

"Feel better?" she asked.

"Much better," he said without looking back to the fallen bodies he headed towards the airship where his they would need to take off to the Tower of Rem.

----------------------------------------------------------------

~Shinta~

"Why not Lune though!? I mean . . . we're practically the same! Well, I'm not going to get involved with that crazy guy then. No way!" Shinta folded his arms as Leira sighed.

"Well, you can be stubborn about that, but in the meantime you can think of another way to save the world. Hm . . . Tower of Rem ring any bells? That may be your first clue."

"Well, yeah, mom, but . . ."

"But this, but that. You never have changed, have you?" Leira unsealed her wings to show off slightly but kept that maternal smile.

"Well, I guess we should be off . . . time is up. But, as for my final words, be careful you two and I love you both dearly. You don't want to see us just yet. I mean, it's not really great down there in the netherworld. Oh, and Shinta, your father's right. Let Lune have a boyfriend! I mean geez, we died before we became grandparents! And we had so long to wait, too!" Their mother pouted childishly before returning to her smile.

She turned to Airez.

"Well, you ready to go, dear? I think they would kick our asses if we stayed up here any longer."

~Cheska~

"Hm . . ." As she was listening to Roy, she was inspecting the maps. One of the maps already seemed frail, so she placed one in a case and began to make a copy of it.

"This isn't as easy as it looks . . ." She said to Roy with a half-smile.

----------------------------------------------------------------

~Roy~

"You get used to it. If you don't feel like drawing maps and stuff you can catagorize the different items.I haven't done any of this since I met up with you guys so I have a lot of stuff to catch up on. Having some help is great. I'd also like to catagorize the items you guys took. Even the herbs if it's possible. You know it could come in handy. Wow I almost sound like you wanting all these things done just in the right way," Roy said streching.

"Oh and try to keep the lines on the map as accurate as possible. Those tools right there should help. If I'm going to fast or anything just ask. After a trip as long as this it would take me a couple days. Not counting the time I spend taking breaks and stuff. I say after we finish some we raid the frigde for some drinks," Roy said looking over his maps.

----------------------------------------------------------------

~Airez~

"Um, yeah lets go Leira." Airez said taking her hand. "Well, see you kids later, love ya!" With that Airez and Leira disappeared.

"Remember the name Octave. There's something different about you, Shinta." Airez spoke in his head.

~Arke~

He got up from his bed. Arke clenched his stomach, particularly his ribs. "Ugh . . . they must have forced them back inside my body. Dam I should of told them my wings would go back inside me when they were ready!" Arke closed his eyes. His eyes returned to their natural brown color. He looked out the window, deep in thought.

"Just like the rest of them, they'll abandon me. All the friends I've ever had, when they saw my wings I never saw them again. I guess its better that I walk out of here than hearing them curse to my face and beat me to an inch of my life." Arke rose from his bed. He saw a spare shirt and put it on. It was made up of simple leather.

He didn't care. "Oh, man! They're vibrating again!" He put his hands up to his chest. The ribs were shaking slightly.
"This vibration's different, distinct even. Oh . . . its the signal. So the true show is about to begin? Well then i guess I have to stay now." Arke laid back down on his bed and soon fell asleep.

~Shinta~

Shinta sniffled a little bit but gained his composure.

He grinned and turned to his sister.

"Well, you ready or what!? We have to get back and save Reyson, right? And then we have to find how where this Octave guy is! But first, we seal this shrine. You ready?" He placed his palms to the shrine door.

~Cheska~

"Ah . . . something to drink sounds good right about now really. That lake water really wasn't the best. But I'll let you finish the map and I'll start categorizing what we found," Cheska beamed as she pulled out some herbs and the vial and placed them on the table. She took out a pen and paper and began to write down every item she remember the group attaining.

Roy carefully but quickly continued his map. After almost a half hour he finished.

"Alright come on let's go get something to drink," Roy sighed looking at his map which looked close to exactly like the original

~Lune~

"Okay!" She said full of cheer. As she walked over a wolf popped through the door. It had a scroll in its mouth. It glared at Shinta and wagged its tail at the sight of Lune.

The beast ran off in the direction of the airship. "Alright then, lets seal that thing up before any more monsters come out!" Lune placed her hands on the shrine door.

~Arke~

By now he was sitting on the window ledge. He was scanning for something...

There. The wolf he was controlling was now next to the airship. The scroll flew up at an amazing speed. Arke held out his hand and caught it. Arke opened it and read its contents.

"Now I can control my eyes color in battle. Each different color represents an element and emotion. Lets kill some time." He went to the table and got his violin. Returning to his seat by the window he began to play . . .

~History~

"The way to heaven is sealed," A cloaked figure said

"Yes...at this rate Carleon will die," Another taller figure turned to the other.

"They chose to go to the netherworld to help, thanks to 'him' changing the rule." The first said to the second.

"Yes, we never even thanked him." The second one said sadly. "Even my other...has passed to the heavens," The second one said softly.

"To return to the planet as envoys of life and death. To re-open the path to heaven...I waited so long," The first said to the second.

"I'm sorry, but...I just couldn't leave," The second uttered.

"Yes, it must be hard to go back. Let us return,"

A flash of red light and two rays decended to Carleon.

"Ragh!!!" Together they formed a magical solvent and sealed the door to the Shrine.

"Well, Fang and Kieo can rest in peace. You think we should do the same thing to our family tree tomb thing?" Shinta took a deep breath as he turned towards the ship.

~Cheska~

"Yeah . . . wow, I categorized and described at least 112 items. I didn't think we picked up that many items, but I hope it's okay that I placed in detailed information just in case." Cheska stood and stretched.

"You'd be surprised. And the description helps a lot. Good job you just saved me a ton of time," Roy said looking at Cheska's list, "and you even did small drawings of them. If you ever want to quit being a scientist you can work for me any day."

Roy quickly left the room. He then ran back with his once full which had turned empty bag which was now filled.

"Hmm I wonder when this clears up where should I open up my store. Of course I'd need some people to help me for when I go out and find some more items. But look at all the drinks I found in a fridge. Hehe this is a lot of stuff I even found some fine wine," Roy said laying all the stuff out on a nearby table so not to get in their way.

"Hm, I may just quit being a RESEARCHER after I finished dispensing the cure . . ." She glared at Roy for calling her a scientist.

"That's the only reason why I became one, so when I'm finished, there's not much else for me to accomplish regarding that occupation. I could probably help you with your store, if you'd like." Cheska smiled as she looked through the drinks.

"Wow, this one is really fine . . . dated back at least seventy-five years ago. Would you like a glass? It just happens to be my favorite too. Silk ruby."

~Roy~

"Sorry I guess I get confused. I guess I'd get mad if you confused me with a grave robber or something like that. And that'd be great I've got it all planned out. It'll be a big house and the main bottom section will be the store. Upstairs will be where I live. I'll also have a secret area where I keep all the valuables. It'll prbably have to be three stories or something," Roy said showing Cheska a poorly drawn house diagram, "as you can see my art talent only comes in when it comes to map where it coutns."

"Sure I'll have some normally don't have anything expensive, I live on a tight budget (steal when I have to). Pour me a glass or something. I wonder what everyone else is up to. HOld on does anyone know HOW to pilot an airship. Becauuse it's kinda pointless if we can't get it off the ground," Roy said opening the bottle.

~Cheska~

She pulled out two glasses and took the bottle from Roy. She poured him a glass, handed it to him, and poured herself one. She then sat down at the table.

"Hm, I may have to work on that map then. Sadly enough, I have some skill in the art department. But, as to your question based on the airship . . . wait . . . aren't you an angelus? Angelus are most known for engineering. Then again . . . that's not everyone. It doesn't seem like Shinta or Lune have any skill, and I would highly doubt that you would."

She took a sip of the wine.

"Hm, that is good. And definately worth the bottle. So you steal if you have to huh? Why just not work your way up? I mean you should have a lot of money from all that treasure hunting. I wouldn't see any reason to steal."

"Times are tough sometimes. I lose treasure, it gets stolen. Plus some people just odn't appreciate good treasure. And I have no clue how to work an airship. Maybe Arke, Krysta, or Orpheus does. Wow this stuff is good. Plus I have to keep a low profile. If someone goes around with treasure that some people try to get and never do it raises suspicion."

"I once had a guy say I was an angelus in disguise because I beat him to a treasure. Well let's just say I lost a great deal of tresure in running away when they threatened to do a mana search. Maybe I should learn to pilot one of these. It would come in handy," Roy yawned.

Drake slowly walked into the airship.

"Great, smithing is out. there probably isn't a single Angelus or human out there who would smith this big sword into my lance."

Drake sat down, pouting slightly. suddenly, he perked up.

"Wait, I think I read something in one of the scrolls about mana bonding. I probably don't have enough skill yet, but, well, its always a possiblity............."

Drake slowly got up and looked outside.

"The others need to hurry. It's almost time to go!"

~Arke~

"So you need a pilot?" Arke said walking in the room Cheska and Roy were in. He walked over and took a botlle they weren't using. He popped off the cork and didn't even bother to pour it in a glass. "Well, guess what? I'm your man! Make sure everyone is on the airship, okay? And if you want to Roy, I'll show you the basics."

Arke walked out of the room. He jumped into the pilots seat. He turned several knobs and the engine crackled with life.

~Lune~

"Maybe." Lune answered. "But come on, lets get back to the airship! I think they're about to leave." Lune released her wings.

"However gets there first, wins!" She flew off and playfully stuck out her tongue.

"Haha, remember? I'm the one with the flaming wings!!!" Shinta pushed off from the ground and chased after Lune. He flew under her, picking up more speed rather than altitude until they reached the ship. They were neck and neck.

Just at the airship, Shinta shot straight up in altitude, cutting off Lune. Gently he landed on the ship and stuck out his tongue in retaliation.

"I win . . ."

~Cheska~

Cheska followed Arke and Roy to the bridge and watched as Arke started the airship.

"Well, I guess we do have our engineer."

"Hey at least I didn't cheat!" Lune said putting her hands to her hips. The two went inside the airship. They went into the healing facility to check on Arke. He wasn't there of course.

When they asked Krysta where he was, well only Lune asked, she said the control room.

~Arke~

"Well, Cheska I prefer the term 'pilot' better than engineer." Arke said pressing more buttons. A door slide open and the Raine siblings came through.

"Arke!!" Lune ran up to him. Shinta walked ever so slowly, grim-faced as ever.

'Great....here comes the rejection.' Arke thought turning the chair around to face the controls.

"I guess I should really apologize, huh? I'm sorry . . . I didn't know and well . . . you just seemed to be suspicious. Why did you keep something like that from my sister though? It's not like she'll hate you . . . I just didn't care for the fact that you were suspicious and odd. So, I guess we should start all over. Mom and dad said it would be best . . . after all I may need your help later on."

'How did I know that? I didn't even read up on that and the chances of finding that out is nil.'

"I kept them hidden because I thought she would treat me differently. Everyone I knew that I would make friends with, they would hate when they saw my 'wings'. But . . . I should've known you guys would have treated me normally." Arke said turning one of the levers down.

He stood up and smiled at everyone.

"Okay guys, we should be at the tower by the end of the day. Now I want everyone to go get some rest. We've been through a lot these past few days. I'll handle piloting this." Arke opened the exit for them. "See you guys later!"

'Yeah Shinta, I'll need your help sooner than you think...'

~Lune~

"You get some rest too, Arke." She said leaving the bridge. Lune walked down the hallway with everyone who just left and turned to the nearest door. "I'm going to bed now." She said as the door closed.

The man yawned and stretched before entering another room with a small bunk in it.

He just wanted to be alone for a few, and to think more about Arke.

"Poor kid . . . sad they did something like that. And to think he's like . . . related to me as a seventh cousin or something."

~Cheska~

Cheska decided to stay up for a little while longer. In the airship there were books, and a lot of them, in a small room. She wanted to gather as much information as she could . . .

She just sat down and began to read, "The Facts of the Angelus".

"Man I cna't sleep. That water must have done something making it so I couldn't sleep. I do feel in tip top shape. I odn't really want to work on maps and stuff. Maybe I should look over those technique scrolls I got from the shrine. Or I could. Uh," Roy said leaving his room leaving the sleeping Zieo there.

"There's a hot tube over there. Man angelus know how to fly in style. I guess I'll take a dip and soak all my troubles away. I just better not fall asleep and wake up dead," Roy sighed throwing his clothes off.

He turned on the hot tube and filled it with bubbles. He even lit some candles. He quickly jumped in.

"Man could this be any less manly. Even if it is comfortable," Roy said looking around the room.

"Hmp...a lot of people died just now....hehehehehehehehehehe." Malix laughed. He felt the souls on Carleon resonating with his power.

"...this world is so crap...It's better of dead." He said to himself.

Summoning his sythe and activating his wings he began to prepare for a fight.

~Serenity's story~

"...*wheeze*," Serenity sat in her chair clutching her chest.

"M'lady, you must rest properly," Her attendent said worried.

"No amount of resting can stop whats happening." Serenity said again.

"I shouldn't even be alive...why do I cling to life so...the longer I cling...the higher the chances of me seeing them again..." She thought silently.

~History, the fall of the master of death~

"Gahh, you fool. You will destory this world. If I die-there will be no cure for the fever." The master of death raised his sythe slicing through a few soldiers.

"I care not for this world...I want revenge, on you on everyone." Ganser's eyes flashed. The master of death looked into them.

"Y-you!" He said recognising him.

"Yes, now can you fight your bretheren." Ganser said wickedly.

A group of angelus began to assualt him.

"I-I can't. Wait stop." The master of death called to them.

"For Carleon and for the world. We will end your life, bringer of the fever." They screamed as metal pierced the young masters body.

"Gah, ah noooo," He desperately cried out as he fell.

"Oh no, dont think I will let you go. You will just come back again. So ill bind you here." Ganser raised the demon blade. Chanting an incantation the soul of the master was transfered to the blade. "Now, I can not have you know of my plans so I will distort your very existance." Producing two pieces of mana from the wicked gods he plunged them into the blade.

"Feel the effects of the fever yourself as you twist and writhe into nothingness, farewell..." Ganser smiled.

A loud and hellish scream roared and then all went silent.

Malix was born...

"Go to sleep already!" His plans might be ruined if he never falls asleep...

"Finally, a decent bed." She fell on the bed not even bothering to change.

"Well . . . guess I need some water or something. It's hard to sleep at a time like this." Shinta felt something was wrong. He sighed and went to the airship's kitched and poured him self some water. He stood there for a bit, sipping his drink, feeling refreshed.

'Mom, dad, is it really too hard for me to trust this guy? I know I feel bad and he had a reason for his actions, but . . . I guess I just gotta get used to it.'

He turned back to the room and flopped on the bed. Soon enough he was fast asleep . . .

~Cheska~

"What is this?" She poured through the advancements of the angelus race and realized a technique.

"Memory insertion, huh? This does sound interesting."

In the book read this:

'Memory particles are fonon particles, like everything else. We have found a method to insert these particles from being to being to preserve the past and to reduce repeats of mistakes in the future.'

Buried in the book now, Cheska continues her studies . . .

Right as Shinta fell asleep, Arke was already making his way too the bed room. He opened the door slowly, making sure it didn't squeak in any way.

'I'm sorry Shinta. But I have to if I want these wretched wings out of my body.'

Arke pulled out the violin and started playing it. He did this just in case Shinta was alert. Shinta snored loudly. 'Good, now this won't hurt a bit.' Arke pulled out a needle. He grabbed Shinta's arm and stuck the pointed tip into his arm.

Shinta's blood soon filled the needle up. 'See you don't get hurt and I get what I want. Good night.' Arke quietly closed the door and headed down the hallway to his room. It was time to negotiate with someone . . .

~Shinta~

It was midnight by the time he awoke from his slumber. He felt a slight tingle in his left arm at the moment, but he passed it for a bug biting him.

He yawned, stretched, and felt no longer the need to sleep. He walked to the bridge and sat in the pilot's chair for awhile, thinking about what his father told him about Octave.

"Me? There's no way someone would want me," He muttered to himself as he gazed at the readings on the dash board.

"Well, everything looks fine . . ."

~Cheska~

"Hmm . . ."

She read further on.

'Memory insertion works best with a child as the host. Chances of this occuring, however, is about 70%, roughly ten times more than the success when considering an adult. Currently, it requires angelus children, yet soon, more options may be on the rise. Humans will be the next to be tested.

We found roughly a few side effects of memory insertion, including:

Short Term Memory Loss due to Overcapacity of the Mind (Common with unsuccessful patients)

Blackouts

Frequent Illness

Merging Thoughts, Which Could Change the Personality of the Patient.'

"No way . . . three-quarters of the symptoms hold true. Maybe that's the reason I have this knowledge. But . . ."

Cheska gazed at the copyright date. Thirty years ago.

"They must have tested this out on humans. Maybe I'm a human product of this 'memory insertion' technique. I think I may switch books . . ."

~Arke~

Arke stood out on the deck. An image projector was in front of him, showing an angelus. Their conversation was about to end.

"As long as you don't hurt Shinta and you get these wings off me, I don't care what you do." Arke said. "Excellent. Now do so when you get to the Dyecroft." The image disappeared. Arke faced west, seeing the sun set. There was a single line straight down the middle, casting a shadow. The Tower of Rem.

As the airship got closer, he could make out tiny secs on the horizon. "Crap, mines." Arke put his index and middle fingers up to his temple. "This is Arke, granting permission to disengage camouflage."

"Yes, sir!" A woman's voice replied. Off to the airship's left another smaller one came into view. The tiny jet, raced off towards the mines. "Sierra, don't get cocky. I want you to get rid of those as quietly as possible. I don't want them to know I have you guys just yet."

"I understand! Wouldn't want to wake your buddies up!" Sierra responded. Soon the smaller craft was out of sight. "I better return to the bridge to slow us down a notch. I don't want them seeing her." Arke walked back inside. He opened the door to see Shinta sitting in a chair. He quickly stuffed the needle further down his pocket as he entered. "Whats the matter? Couldn't sleep?"

"Alright I better hide those books better. But I cna't understand half of them. Ugh after we go to the Tower of Rem I'll ask them to leave me at the apartment for now. I'll have to stick with them. Everyone's got their dirty little secrets even me the funny musical guy," Roy saiddrying off.

'So you smell a rat do ya? Well you have a good nose.' Arke spotted a shimmer go by the airship. Good, Sierra took care of the mines. They're on the home stretch...

Orpheus stretched to get the kinks out of sleeping while sleeping cross legged.

"Will we be ready to face him?" he asked his companion.

"There might some difficulty on taking him down, but your allies seem to have gotten stronger too," she replied still quite sleepy.

"I see," he walked up to the dashboard, seeing them near the tower, he was still nervous of the up coming battle, "I want to ask you something" he said loudly.

Everyone turned to face him, Leaning on the door frame he asked, "In the event that...Reyson can't be saved..."he paused knowing what he will ask will be a tough call but to ensure victory they need to make a stand, "Will you all be willing to destroy him?"

"Afterwards will you be able to make war with your own races? Because where we stand neither Windershinn nor Serenity are our allies?"

Malix shot forward at intense speed. A cut from his sythe forced Drake back. A flash of mana later and the dragoon was on his feet.

"Foolish humans," Malix took to the skies.

"Darkness of the outer limits scream-Eternal Finality!" Malix chanted. A dark vacuum of dark mana surrounded the top of the tower. Ripping and tearing at those fighting against the distorted one.

"Crap! If this keeps up we're all dead!" The dark mana kept ripping everyone. "This should stop it, Celestial Ray!" A beam of light hit Malix, causing his attack to halt.

She charged in and stabbed him in the gut with Leira's dagger. He stumbled back seeming not to notice the pain.

~Arke~

Arke drew his sword out. He charged giving Lune enough time to step back. "You call yourself an angel?! Don't make me laugh!" They attacked one another, neither getting through the others defense.

"This isn't working!"

~Shinta~

"Heh . . . Foolish humans? Sorry, but I'm hardly that! After all, I'm the son of Airez and Leira Raine!!!" He jumped and unsealed his wings. Charging at Malix, he threw his katar at him and then brought upon a barrage of fireballs.

~Cheska~

"Now is not the time! I have to focus!" She threw as many paralyzer needles as she could.

~Malix's story~

"Is that all?" Malix said shaking soot of his bidy.

"What the?" Shinta said shocked.

A flash of metal, the sound of skin being torn. A huge gash was created across Shinta's chest.

"You must do better...hahahahahahahaha maybe I can stimulate your power," Malix charged again giving Shinta a secondary gash.

"Ahhhhhhh" He screamed in pain.

"No matter what you do to me...it is Reyson's body. He will feel the pain." Malix laughed again.

"Nothing short of injecting me with a cure will save you and even then...is Reyson still here or not?" Malix smiled wickedly.

~Shinta~

Shinta fell back onto the ground. He landed on the ground, crouched as he brought a hand to his chest.

"Damn . . . Heal!!" Shinta's mana repaired the wound on his chest as he glared at his opponent. Then he thought of something.

He walked over to Cheska and whispered in fear of Malix listening.

"Hey . . . place that cure into a syringe. I'll charge up at him and try to insert it into him. I have one chance however, unless you have more."

Cheska nodded and secretly placed the liquid into the syringe and passed it to Shinta without Malix being able to see it.

"Thanks . . . Lune, Arke, back me up. now!" Shinta took off towards Malix and created a doppleganger.

~Malix's story~

"Clever little sneak," Malix said staring through Shinta. "I never thought you could make a potent cure, but I guess thats my mistatke."

"Now lets see, mana sight reveals that-your the real one!" Malx thought sending a mana wave crashing into Shinta.

He still held onto the cure as hard as possible and saved it from breaking.

"Dopplegangers dont work with the demon sight, try again hahahahahhahaahhaha" Malix raored with upbeat laughter

~Shinta~

"Guess I'll have to beat you to the ground then!! Oh, and I'm not the one who made the cure? You really think I'm that smart!?" Shinta, with such speed, appeared from behind Malix and rammed his elbow into the back of the possessed body.

~Malix~

"Dont credit yourself to highly boy, I know who made this potion!" He smiled. Whirling his leg around connecting with Shinta's face.

Blood splattered to the floor.

"Now, know what true power really is!" Malix picked up angel by his head and took flight.

Holding him outfront he began to electrocute him slowly. The mana waves increasing second by second.

"This is what will happen to those that oppose me, you will all suffer one by one. Death itself will not end your suffering!"

~Arke~

"Let go of him!!!" Arke jumped up and punched Malix in the face. Shinta and Malix fell to the ground.

"Time for an old favorite! Thunder Explosion!!!" Arke slammed his sword into Malix' sycthe. As soon as he guarded blots hit him. He was paralyzed for a moment

~Lune~

"Come, gentle gust of well-being.....Healing wind!" Small gusts hit Shinta and the others, healing them for now.

'We can't go all out if we want Reyson alive. Shinta you're the only one that can save him . . .'

~Shinta~

Slowly the syringe fell through his fingers. It fell through the air as Shinta cried out, unable to release the next seal. Just then, Arke released a punch and stunned him.

Cheska ran to the syringe and caught it just before it shattered.

"Phew . . . he does know who made it then." She threw a few poisoned kunai at Malix. At that very moment Cheska spoke Shinta heard a voice.

'Come on, you're stronger than your uncle. Just remember that it's only him, nothing more. Take him down!'

"2nd Seal, RELEASE!!!" A burst of light erupted as Shinta disappeared once more. He reappeared on the ground, breathing heavily.

"Those mana bursts . . . would have killed me if it wasn't for you two. Thanks. Cheska, let me see that syringe again!"

"Right!" Cheska threw the needle to Shinta, who took advantage of Malix's stun.

Quickly he appeared behind him, ready to strike.

As hard as he could, he thrust the syringe into Malix and pushed the liquid into him.

"I just hope this works . . ." Shinta said to himself.

"Ya Shinta!"

Drake ran forward, arm in the air.

"That's got him!"

Malix was lying on the ground in a fetal position. Mana was literally pouring out of him. He seemed to be in a lot of pain. But not defeated, not even close.

"Gah, ah-uh gah," Malix fell backwards. "In the end-he wouldn't let me do it," Malix said. His mana cells began to strenghten. The solstice piece and the akaure fragment disintergrated.

"Reyson...you were a good partner...even if we didn't get along...you-" Malix closed his demonic eyes....

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH," As Reyson's soul began to re-take controll multiple wounds began to appear. Bruises, cuts broken bones all affected him simultaniously.

Then he fell forwards, eye's wide open. Blue eyes, a sign that malix had died...and the origional soul had returned.

"REYSON!!!!" Drake screamed.

~Malix's story~

"The cure...its working...I guess I dont have much time now," Malix stood up. He couldn't raise his sythe any more.

"Ahhhhhhh!!!!!!" Drake ran up to him grabbing him by the shoulders.

"Give him back!" He began to pound at his face.

Tears streaming down Malix's eyes.

"Drake...thankyou-" It was Reysons voice.

The cure finally working Drake dropped him to the floor.

~Shinta~

The man landed on the ground.

A sigh escaped his lips as he shook his head.

"Sorry, Uncle Liam . . . or should I say Malix . . . I hope you rest in peace with the rest of them now."

He left Reyson to Drake as he looked around.

"Well, Lune, Arke, Roy, Cheska, everyone . . . looks like that was taken care of . . . now for Octave and Serenity. I think we need to straighten some things out." He looked up at the tower once more.

~Cheska~

"Not again . . ." She whispered.

'Hey, uncle . . . please teach me . . . how to fight well. I know the battle is over, but I need to protect mommy . . .' Another memory.

Silently she entered the real world once more.

~Arke~

"Don't worry, Shinta. We'll take care of those two soon! Now Drake let me help you get Reyson on the airship..." Arke helped lift the angel up.

~Lune~

"Yeah lets rest up first." Lune said running back inside the airship. Strangely she bumped into someone.

"I'm sorry...Hey wait a minute! Who are you!?" Lune raised her staff to the girl on the ground. She looked to be a pilot of some sort . . .

"So is that it. We're not going to check this place out or anything. Come on do you know how much a detailed map of the Tower of Rem would cost. Fine I'm exhausted anyways," Roy said sitting down.

"Hey Cheska you alright you don't looks so great," Roy said going over to Cheska's side.

"Yeah, I knew I smelled a rat!!! State your business!" Shinta pointed the katar at the girl's throat.

"Give me the wrong answer and I won't hesitate to kill you."

~Cheska~

She saw Roy sitting next to her as her mind finally cleared.

"Y-yes, I'm alright. Just a flash. That's all . . . Say, we could cover The Tower of Rem. I mean everyone plans to rest right now." She forced a smile through her full lips as she clenched onto her head.

'I will find out . . . apparently you're someone that knows Liam.'

"Yeah let's cover up the basics. Going it over in full detail would take a long time I mean look how high up this place goes. Alright let's go. But wait somethng seems to be going down at the door. We might as well check it out. I have to get my stuff any way," Roy said carefully looking over Cheska.

"Ah," Serenity felt a wave of vitality rush through her.

"They-they did it. The master of death is at last returned." She said standing up.

She began to prepare the Dye croft for their arrival...she had much to tell them.

Cheska nodded slowly.

"Tower of Rem, huh? One of the only places that brings memories that aren't even mine to me. But either way, I think we should pack just in case. I need paper and a pen to catalogue."

'I have a bad feeling about going into this tower.'

~Lune~

"I thought you guys would be gone by the time I left." The girl said pushing Shinta's katar aside. "I'm not your enemy."

~Arke~

After he and Drake had set Reyson in the healing facility, Arke saw the commotion.

"Dammit, Sierra! Why are you here?!" Arke yelled getting her off the ground. "I was thirsty and-"
"Geez! Now I have to explain this." Arke turned to the Raine siblings.

"Guys, this is my friend Sierra. She is one of my allies who has helped us out." Arke was stopped by Lune. "And how did she help you? I don't remember you mentioning her at all!"
"My as well start from the beginning,...."

"Ever since I was born i'd be traveling with my family. We'd see people's lives affected by the war. My family would help them out and one family in particular said we should take their children. I know it sounds a little mean, but we realized it was best for them.

"When we started getting older and with that stronger, we decided to do something big. The war was on the verge of going all-out again and we thought it be a good idea to have the stalemate extend, have the peace last a little longer. For the past year me, Sierra, Brutus and Krill have been messing with both factions. Stopping them from launching full-scale attacks. And de-moralizing troops to retreat.

"But it felt like it wasn't good enough. We wanted a stop to the war, not one side win and one lose. We thought it'd be better if both leaders were dead then we decided against it. We've been studying both factions' major bases we know the layout of each one. So we can take down Widdershin or Serenity if we have to."

~Lune~

"Thats quite a story." She said absorbing his words. "But you still didn't answer my question." "When I was in the netherworld training she watched your movements. If it wasn't for good ol' Sierra here I'd never known where you guys were fighting Sataint!"

----------------------------------------------------------------

~Shinta~

"Wait . . . you trained in the Netherworld? I thought you had to be dead to even enter it!!!" Shinta crossed his arms as he began to piece together some information.

~Cheska~

"Hm . . . well that explained some things . . ." She said to herself as she gazed at the girl.

~Roy~

Roy walked into his room to get the things he needed. He looked out the window and saw everyone. He looked at all the papers he had scattered on the floor. "As of right now I've got no choice but to keep this up. Shame," Roy said skimming a page of a book.

"But if it's required I guess I have no choice. I don't know if I should risk even mentioning anything might blow my cover. Can I pull this off or what. I've got to, remember Zieo not a word," Roy said looking at the sleeping cheagle.

"Alright Cheska I got the stuff. Let's get to work while everyone gets ready," Roy said walking out of the airship.

"Mmhmm." Cheska took up her items and placed them in her crimson trenchcoat. She followed Roy out of the airship and soon was back at the Tower of Rem.

"Well, here we are . . . how many floors are we covering?"
