The food smelled wonderful and CC smiled vaguely to herself, wondering if she should call out to Amon once more to let him know that it was ready. The dark-furred feline had managed to calm herself down significantly by concentrating on cooking and putting the food away and had finally managed to shake whatever remnants of ill feeling from her system and was now just mildly irritated that her lover was not bothering to show himself back at home.
"He better have a darn good reason," she grumbles, made more snarky by the fact that she is hungry. She puts out a paw and grabs a piece of fruit from a nearby bowl and munches on it quietly, her sharp teeth easily piercing the skin but the fruit itself hard to chew due to the wrong type of teeth. She sighs and makes her way slowly through it, "I know these are good for me... but sheesh, did they have to make them so difficult to eat. What I wouldn't give for a nice piece of juicy meat. Bah"
Her tail twitches in slight frustration and her green eyes keep flicking over to the clock, eventually she finishes her fruit and stands up, tossing it into the nearby trash bin. She paces the floor a few times and finally settles to go put on some music, the silence of the room starting to get to her.

Amon simply nodded to the feline boy as they walked over to the young chipmunk, handing her back her purse. They walked back across the street to the street corner once again. Amon looked around a second time and sighed. He turned to Tayuu.
"Your next lesson will have to wait, but don't think I'm letting you out of my sight.. I've got a telepathic lock on you.. when I return the lessons will continue, and then you will have all the answers you need."
Before Tayuu could even respond to the statement, Amon had vanished into thin air again. Re-appearing in he and Ci Ci's apartment, nearly knocking the poor girl off her chair when he suddenly appeared in the kitchen, apple in hand.
"Oh, sorry my love.. I thought you'd have gotten used to me appearing out of nowhere by now.. I also appologize for the lateness, there was a young theif that needed to be started in the right direction in life.. he has a great potential for goodness, but he is clouded by a tortured past and an unsure heart.."
Amon thought for a moment, crunching into the apple. Then he raised his head up in a startled fashion. It was a vision.. nothing as simple to see as the Elk and the Chipmunk back on the street, this was much more vivid and much more taxing on his physical body. When he came out from the vision he had found himself collapsed on the floor..

"Amon!"
CC yells as the hedgehog falls to the floor, recovering from her initial suprise at his sudden reappearance only to have her heart racing and worry filling her as she leans over him, checking his pulse and watching his steady breathing. He was out cold but soon begins to recover, his eyes soon fluttering open and looking around as if trying to focus.
"Amon, are you allright? Speak to me babe!"
She is leaning on her knees next to him and is in the process of balling up a towel to place under his head for comfort. "Don't you dare move until you are a bit more recoverred ... are you feeling hot? Are you feeling weak?"
The feline puts her wrist to his forehead, feeling for heat, but his temperature feels normal and he does not seem to be physically distressed in any other way. Her ears are back though and her eyes full of concern as she studies him and waits for his reply.

Tayuu plodded through the street rather perplexed after his encounter with Amon. The hedgehog’s unexpected disappearance left him feeling like he was suddenly disconnected while halfway through watching a TV programme. He was given a glimpse of ‘the right path’ but was not convinced. The cat-boy’s thought process was thus;
‘The contents of that purse could have got me another month’s rent at least… She was stupid enough to have it unguarded, in the Casino Zone of all places… I don’t see why I couldn’t… ahhh, I’m not gonna think bout it.’
‘….. Damn it.’
‘That hedgehog… That guy left me with more questions than answers. Lessons… Feh…’
‘I didn’t even get his name.’
‘If I could teleport like he could, heh, just think of what I could get my hands on, just think what I could do and see.’
‘And now I’m worrying, the fudge is a tele’ick’path’ick lock? Gah! What if he could read my mind from where ever he is now? My own memories and thoughts aren’t safe? I know I could use... ‘that’, but it’d only shield me from him for as long as I could keep it up… I gotta…’
Tayuu passed one of the casino and stopped in his tracks, he listened to the sounds of the machines inside; “Ouh, I have an idea.” A smirk crossed his face as he walked into the casino.

Paladin Twilight bowed respectfully and made his way silently from the audience chamber. It never seemed right that a mortal soul was sitting on the Holy Throne but no one else was stronger than Shae shy of perhaps another eternal and they wouldn't dare usurp THAT heavenly seat lest the very nature of the universe be turned upside down.
Making his way down the path the vanguard walked toward the Gates of the Chaos Realm, checking his small satchel that hung from the light belt of his robes. The bag was filled with a familar obsidian black substance that he feared he might need if things went literally to Hell with his father. Striding down the path at a semi-brisk pace he closed his eyes and let the memory of his muscles guide him toward his destination. Whilst blinded he checked in the depths of his mind.
Good, the weapon was still there. He was always unsure of the Twilight Glaive's presence because it was a part of him now instead of a tool of office he was more akin to toting about it. It had no weight, no give, and occupied no space in the depths of his soul but he could still feel it there. The mental feelings of "sharp", "strong", and "death" ebbed and flowed from the psychic picture. Dismissing the weapon's attention he opened his eyes and found himself not far indeed from his next stop. There at the gates, ever watchful was Aries.
"Hail and good day to you Gate Keeper! Master Shae hinted that I should see you before I made my journey to the Zone Between Zones on a personal matter. Did m'lord speak true?" _______________________________________________
Lucian made his way to the shuttle, the varrious doorways opening on their own accord making his journey there simple. This was a good thing as the tired overlander was drained and not thinking straight. The thought of going back to the planet surface deep down thrilled the vampire, it seemed being so far away from food and home did not sit well with him. The dead were never ment for space it seemed.
In no time at all he found himself at the docking bay with a smaller but swifter transport back to Mobius. Off handedly Lucian pondered if Ivo cared about his find with that chunk of pure evil or if Duro was reprogrammed after being analyzed by the Doctor's reknowned scrutiny.
Only as the door opened did he realize that he would be dealing with those. . things. . .in the ground in Aegis Forest again. Ever so briefly he wondered if it would be so bad staying up amongst the stars but the thought was fleeting. His Boss wouldn't allow it, there was no one to kill, and nothing to eat. So back the bloodsucker went to Mobius Prime, and his mission. ____________________________________________
If Tommy was capable of surprise he might have been after realizing that his "dinner" had not only navigated his traps, but his missles as well and was now about to engauge him in mortal combat. Whether or not the other mortal that was in charge of his prey could follow was another matter, but the scent of the distant morsel was far removed from the beat's mind as he begun the battle.
Humongus fists and feet flung out with abandoned. It had no fighting style, or even a pattern. Just preditory claws on much too large a body moving faster than Mother Nature ever intended. But then again, this was not a deizen of the natural order. And thus did the two damned creatures begin their dance of death.

The metalic figure clunked to the ground as the undead bunny ripped apart its metal hide, but a glimps of light as something ignighted behind the rabbit showed that it as only a deactivated swat bot, but beofre poor tommy could react to the trap, a glowing plasam scyth, game arcing down from the ceiling peircing the undeads shoulder as the owner landed behind him, dropping from the cieling with the handle in hand, then with an effortless tug she slung the vampire around on the blade, ripping her weapon along with a chunk of meat from the vampire slamming him into the wall, before switching to an offensive styance, gesturing withher tail, a manic grin on her face."mmm Lets dance, tall dark and tasty."she said as she slowly licked her lips.

The high speed stammering and confusion in Ci Ci's words began to make the ill fallen hedgehog's head spin. He tried to muster the words to calm her, to stay back her worry, to explain it was only a vision of incredible magnitude. Finally, holding his head in hand, he stood to his feet balancing himself against the countertop. He took a long deep breath and sighed it out. He then turned to his befuddled and worrysome dearest and spoke.
"Relax honey, I'm sorry to have startled you so, it was only a vision.. a powerful one.. but a vision none-the-less. And aside from needing a glass of water, I'm fine now, my head's stopped spinning and the pain is gone."
Hereached out an dput his arms around the quivering feline, holding her tight against him, nuzzling her forehead with his nose. He could sense the fear in her slowly fading away, returning to the calm and demure manner that Ci Ci had most of the time. He slowly loosened his hold, allowing her to stand straight once more. He took another deep breath and began to relax as well. Amon made his way over to the table to sit down.
"Dear? Could you get me that glass of water now?"
The images of his vision still emminated strong in his minnd, like ripples in a pond from a thrown stone. Wave after wave echoing through, the screams.. women, children.. no one was spared. A vile presence swarmed the land.. this was all he could see. He understood... something was coming.. something big.. something dark.. something evil.

CC merely nods and takes a glass that she had already set out upon the table and walks with it over to the sink. She turns on the tap and lets the water run for a few seconds first before putting the glass under and letting it fill up before returning to the table and giving it to Amon.
A vision? Of what... what could have shaken him so much?
Though she is much calmer and cursing herself for her worry, the tall feline cannot help but know that there other reasons why should would have reacted so poorly to the situation. She still could not help but shake off the feeling of dread that she had gotten before, the one that had made her fur stand on end and her tail twitch.
She smiles sadly and pulls out the chair next to the handsome hedgehog and sits herself down, pushing a plate of food towards him. "Perhaps you should eat a bit as well... and if it would help, tell me what it was.If it was that strong then perhaps it is something that should be shared... and obviously it is not something happening at this very moment else you probably would have taken off"
There is a bit of hurt and venom in her voice at this point, a sore spot between the two still ever since Amon had taken off without letting her know why. She picks at the food upon her own plate, her own hunger strangely gone for the moment, perhaps because her mind was full of questions, what could he have envisioned that was so strong as to make him pass out? What had kept him in town earlier on? What was going on?

Aries looked up from his chair at the gates of the Chaos Realm, where Paladin was now standing. He stood up and reached into a pocket on his robe. He pulled out a small golden medallion. It had various etchings, runes and images engraved upon it. He handed it to the former Deathog.
"Given the rushed way you were ushered in and the circumstances, you were never given the proper ceremony to become a Vanguard. However, the Goddess did as she thought best, so on behalf of the Court, I hereby officially give you the Seal of Aurora, marking your place amongst her Court."
Aries gave a solemn bow and then extended his hand to Paladin. Far out in the reaches of eternal nothingness, a consciousness flittered and floated by. It was almost as though it were pacing back and forth, worried or anxious. A booming voice echoed through the emptyness.
"If you continue to do that, you'll wear a hole in the space-time continuum.."
The pink cloud stopped in its place.
"Father.. I was wondering when you would return.. has everything gone to plan? Are things in motion?"
Silence.. and after a tense moment, Chronus spoke once more.
"Yes dear child, the seed of your birth is planted and the celestial event to bring it to life has been moved up in the order of time. You know, doing this may have dire concequences.. are you sure you want to return to Prime?"
The cloud flittered a moment, hovering up and down. The Goddess had alot to contemplate.. with Syntaru gone, her realms were safe.. but how much had the world changed since she'd been taken away? Would it be the world she remembered, she created? In a somber, almost whispering voice she answered her Father's question..
"Yes, Father.. I wish to return."

(OOC: Was kinda left high and dry, Spaztar hadn't responded to my post, so I'm moving on and we'll say that his character denied my help and wandered away.. 'cause this is ridiculous.)
Myst carefully and cautiously wandered back to her troupe, they continued on their way to port to pick up their supplies. A rush of wind blasts began to brew, signs that this day wouldn't be as clear and sunny as they'd initially thought. A storm was coming, one of the worst of the season. But they had to press on, even if it meant they'd be camping at the port, they needed those supplies.
Myst kept thinking to herself, about that day, back on the island. The day she unlocked the potential in her power and became a part of the Mobian Heroes. Of course, no one on Mobius knew exactly who they were or what had happened.. but to her.. it didn't matter. She didn't care much for the fame anyhow.. all she cared about was that she was able to make a difference. She wondered.. where had all the others ended up? She would love to be able to visit them one day.. but for now, work was more important than get togethers with old friends.
Under a few hours they reached the port, so far, the storm hadn't settled in, but it was vast approaching. Myst stood watch as her troupe went aboard the massive cargo ship. It was a beast of a machine alright, one of the largest sea-fairing vessels on the planet. A snow-hopper was being prepped for them to carry back all the supplies. Myst eased back a little.. watching the troupe haul boxes off the ship and then into the hopper. The treaded vehicle made a rather thunderous rumble when it idled.
The captain of the boat walked on over to her. He was a tall and portly walrus, his knubby tusks kind of making her chuckle to herself. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a set of keys.
"Say there Myst, I was wonderin' if'n you could do me a favor.."
"Such as?"
"Well, I've got this here shuttle on board, it's got some rather precious cargo on it that needs to get to the avian villages in the Aegis Forest the only trouble is mah pilot jumped ship at the last port.. so I was hopin' that you could go'on deliver the cargo in his place.. your troupe's got the hopper so they'll be fine and able to defen em'selves if'n trouble arrives.. so whadda ya say li'l missy?"
She thought for a moment, she did receive her piloting permits after she joined the company. The change of scenery would also do her some good.
"Captain Blubbard, you've got yourself a delivery girl.. you'll call back to the city to let them know where I'm going right?"
The walrus nodded, smiled, and handed her the keys. Then he walked away and boarded his ship once more, heading back to his post at the wheel. Myst smiled to herself, she could deliver the cargo and take a few extra days to herself to catch up with some of her old friends from the island.
"Aegis Forest, here I come!"
She jumped up and clicked her heels as she ran over to the shuttle, she opened the hatch door, hopped up into the pilot's seat and started up the engine.. the coming storm wouldn't be a problem for her now. She could fly high above the clouds without a worry. A new adventure was set to begin for the dear sweet hedgehog.

Amon looked up at his dear Ci Ci, he took a deep breath and leaned a little back in his chair. He took a small moment to gather his thoughts, to figure how to form a stream of words that could fully explain the horror he witnessed. He took another solemn breath and looked back to the emerald green eyes of his love.
"You are indeed correct, it is not happening at this moment, but it will come soon. There is a creature, not of this dimension, that will break through into our world and if nothing is done to stop it, it shall cause great havoc, countless lives will be lost. The Vanguards will decide not to interfere with the matter and destruction will rain from the skies across our continent."
He took another long breath before continuing.
"It will arrive right here in Casinopolis, the heart of the Casino Night Zone. However, if we try to stop the creature ourselves, the blame will inevitabley fall upon us for it being here in the first place. This creature is attracted to kenetic energies.. and while there are plenty of our friends stronger than you and I, they are all scattered across the globe, isolated.. you and I here together make a rather potent helping of kenetic energy."
He sipped the glass of water and placed it back on the table.
"So the question remains.. do we stand and fight against it only to condemn ourselves to a life as fugitives.. or do we do nothing and condemn the rest of the continent to suffering and destruction? I already know what your answer will be.. so just tell me what I want to hear, my love."

“Seven! Sonic! Bell!” said Tayuu rather loudly as he watched the three reels stopped on the slot machine. “Do you mind? Why don’t you go play over there?” asked the irritated player sitting in front of the machine, now pointing over to the other side of the casino while pressing the first ‘hold’ button with his other hand. “But I’m training!” exclaimed Tayuu, much to the customer’s confusion. Now ignoring the odd cat-boy, the player pulled the lever of the ‘one-armed bandit’ again. Tayuu once again mumbled a few quick words and then called out the results much louder voice; “Seven! Seven! Lemon! Ouuhhhh, near miss! Was that your last coin by the way?” The customer fumed and span around on his chair just as a large and dangerous looking wolf in a smart security uniform walked by; “Excuse me, security , this boy is bothering me.” The wolf stopped and glared at the cat-boy before suddenly grabbing Tayuu by the collar of his tunic. The wolf spoke in a growling voice to the customer; “Don’t worry sir, I’ll see to him personally.” Tayuu kept quiet as he was lifted off the ground and carried away down the aisle of slot machines. The cat-boy waved at the various people in the casino that he knew and didn’t know.
Now taken round the corner, the timber wolf placed Tayuu on the floor and then folded his arms as if waiting for an explanation. Tayuu grinned and raised his paws; “Sirius! How’s it going man?” The wolf’s stern look suddenly turn to one of affability; “Tatty, the hell you doing in here boy? Thought you were long gone from this scene. The new boss giving you a job?” Tayuu shook his head; “Nyu. I’m here training myself.” “Training?” “Yeah, mental stuff, there’s this psycho and…” Tayuu paused and wondered if ‘psycho’ was the right word, maybe he meant ‘psychic’… “… ah never mind, too long to explain, quick, ask me my flat number.” Sirius blinked; “But I know your flat number.” “Just ask me.” Sirius laughed and then nodded; “Hey crazy cat, what’s your flat number?” Tayuu instantly thought about the number three and then bopped himself on the head for failing; “OK, OK, that didn’t count.” Sirius looked confused; “What? You didn't say anything. This some sort of magic trick going wrong?” “No, no, I’ve been at this for ages, I should be able to do it now, ask me again, I’ll explain later.” “OK… what’s your room number?” Tayuu concentrated and started grinning madly as he did, mumbled a few times and then said; “Raspberry.” Not once did his flat number enter his mind that time around. Sirius scratched his head and then gave a worried look to his old work associate; “Tatty, I think you should come get a drink with me and then explain why you’re going crazy.” Tayuu nodded and began to follow the wolf; “You’ll never believe me though.”

The feline sita on the edge of her chair, not noticing that she is grasping at the wooden edges with her claws going further and further out as Amon continues filling her in on what he had seen in his disturbing vision. When he sips on the glass of water she takes a moment to realize that she has been keeping herself on edge and does her best to relax, retracting her claws and sitting back in her seat, not taking her eyes off of the hedgehog for a moment.
He finishes speaking and looks up at her, already knowing her answer, not even having to read her mind as all he had to do was see the look in her eyes. She grins her familiar lop-sided grin and leans forward, kissing him passionately and wrapping her strong arms around his shoulders. CC pulls away just far enough so that she can once again look him in the eyes, their noses just touching, "There is no real question about this my love, as you well know. We fight... we fight as hard and as long as we need, even if it means that we will never again be able to stay in any civilized place. For if we don't fight, I could never live with myself. We cannot let innocents die and we can't just sit back and watch, let it come!"
She laughs lightly and smiles, a bit sadly, "Guess this means that we may have to indefinately postpone the little tour around the area, huh? And that i should probably get stuff into my backpack, in case we really do have to leave in a hurry...good thing you have already gone shopping."
Even though the feline knows that she should probably get up and start doing stuff she finds that she cannot really bring herself to do so. They had only just managed to find a place and get themselves settled, it seemed like she was destined to always be on the run, to never have a true home. She did not mind being a wanderer so much, especially with Amon by her side, but sometimes a part of her truly wished that things could be different and that they could find a place for themselves in the world.
