Now, this was all quite well and fun. The bad guys were beat! (sorta..) No one got hurt, (traumatized maybe but physically hurt, oh no) and things were back to normal. (aside from the living dead pretty much parading around) What more could a hero ask for then that? Mister Poncho felt a bit of glee just thinking about it all though.. it didn't seem like this victory wasn't going to result in such a joyous celebration. Ah well.. but if anything was to be done, the first thing he would need to do is get out of this fandangled contraption he managed to wander into! Raising his right foot up to the cockpit window, that whimsical guy in the poncho tapped upon it with a moderate amount of force, just enough so that someone outside would be able to hear him... hopefully.

[Angel]

Trying it again.. though it won't make it's ultimate comeback until Arietta is back.

I didn't have anything to do at all. Angel wasn't in this city.. and that's all that I really cared about right now. Looking around at the cold air, I thought about why she would want me gone right now. Maybe she just wanted to meet this guy alone? Or maybe already in this stage of the plans there was betrayal in mind for him. Or maybe there was something unsettling about me and Angel here..

Wouldn't be the first or last time someone just thought I was a monster.. I thought with a grim feeling. A feeling I wanted discarded more than anything else right now. This feeling wasn't welcome and I had discarded already twice before.. why did I have to make it a third? Why did it somehow keep finding it's way out of the shell it was supposed to be in-cased in?

But they were wrong.. I wasn't a monster. I was nothing, that's what I had always been since that day who knows how long ago. Someone who shouldn't have existed, a blank existence forced upon the world for a wonderful goal.

I clutched Angel's hand and smiled though. Either way, I would respect this woman's privacy. Despite it all, I was starting to enjoy her company.. and she might have been the first person I "liked" at all since I had given it up for the second time. She was a strong and intelligent warrior and obvious someone to give credit to. "Sure, I think we'll head out by ourselves, but I'll be waiting at the gates for you and our new friend." I said with a small laugh.

And with that, we went completely invisible and vanished. Letting her to meet this friend on her own.

[Outside the Gates]

We sat in the tall grass and waited. With this position, laying against the walls of the gates and this kind of cover, no one was going to sneak up on us.. and we would get the element of surprise to anyone who tried to wander about. It was a perfect position that nature had given us.

I clutched Angel's hand again and felt her shaking still. This girl was almost pure fear. Sure, she was pretty much afraid all the time even when I first met her, but I didn't think that it was this bad. She used to say a few words in a more coherent manner than she had been recently. I was worried, and decided since I had a few minutes.. I would try to figure out why she was so much like this.

* * * * *

After a few minutes had past.. I came back much more aware of what happened sometime ago. Using the shade we had made for our own privacy.. I clutched the crying girl.. feeling her bizarre heartbeat never slow down. I pet her head and just let her sit there.. crying. It would do her good to just release all these feelings.. and I spoke to her, trying to comfort her further. "You'll be much happier once we find Angel, little one. You'll be in a body that is much more suited for someone like you.. and you'll help bring out someone very dear to me. She really needs you to help her come back. All the scary you feel will actually be for a reason.. and then all three of you will be so much happier. Angel will have her body, you'll become someone much stronger and not as afraid as you are now.. and then she'll use that to come back out and you'll be together. So don't worry little Arietta.. you'll be safe. Safe with me until we get you home."

I prayed it didn't take too much longer.

Iskra sighed, alone once more. Angel had seemed upset at her suggestion to go do whatever business she’d required, seeming to find malice and annoyance in her words. Iskra had just been trying to be nice. She was well aware that Angel had nothing to benefit from being here, and simply hadn’t wanted to make her feel obligated stick around if she didn’t need to. Iskra supposed that slips in communication were bound to happen in such a ragged assortment of misfits. Oh well.

Her brooding was interrupted, however, by the appearance of a young man bolting towards the gate. Iskra straightened in anticipation, pleased that this person was actually running towards her. It was always nice when things like that worked out. And then she spotted the flood of undead shuffling after him.

Shit.

“Angel, incoming zombie horde!” she yelled, not knowing whether her companion could hear the warning. Drawing her pistol, she fired another shot into the air, a much louder warning cue, in the hope of alerting both Angel and the stranger. Still disguised as a dark skinned young man, she began calling to the would be zombie snack, beckoning him to run her way, and towards safety.

[Kori]
[to the skies]

Kori jumped on to the front of his ship and noticed two thing. the sombrero'ed man in his cockpit, which he helped out of the ship, and the horde of zombies headed their way. so kori jumped in his ship, thinking "Time to leave with a boom" He lifted above the street, angled his ship towards the zombies, throttled, and shot a condensed-fuel missile, decimating the back row, eliminating half of the zombies, angled up, and sped off to the skies. "good luck down there." And with that, Kori breached the atmosphere, headed to rendezvous with the Federation Capital Fleet...

OOC: this is Kori's final post as I am deleting him for personal reasons...

MM looked at Smashbro swinging around by the horn of the monster and got right to work. He limped over to the boulder Smashbro was pushing and pushed it more. 'Jeez, now I know how it feels to have no help for moving things.' he thought to himself. Volvagia flew up to the roof of the temple and smashed into it. Rocks fell along with Smashbro, whom lost his grip. Smashbro shifted his weight to move towards the wall. He slid down a slope on the wall and landed safely on the ground. Volvagia proceeded into the ground. He popped up, missing the hole covered by the boulder, but was smacked by a falling boulder. The monster was dizzy and Smashbro followed up by hammering its head with his fist.

Extremely angered, Volvagia exhaled flames and they turned the floor into a conflagration. The two heroes clung to the walls and wondered how to get Volvagia now.

Isaac looked back at the hoard of pursuers, he was a good twenty feet ahead of them. They were a bit faster than he expected them to be though. As he approached the gate, he heard gunshots, a sound that seemed out of place in this kingdom. He then saw a young girl holding a gun in the air, gazing directly at him, shouting something.

'Hmm, it appears I have a would be savior, or maybe a fairly decent distraction.'

He ran towards the girl, planning on letting her become a zombie snack.

"crap, what the f are we supposed to do now?" smashbro said aloud, panting. "And what happened to Haylee?" By looking at MM, he could see that most of his power was still in healing his friend, so he would not me able to do much. "I guess...I guess...hmm, what does it even want? Why'd it come?"

[Mariomasher]

"I'm guessing it wants something from the Zoras. Why would it infect the Clergy if it wanted something from somebody else?" MM pondered. He paused. "Where--where is Haylee?" A tornado entered the room and inhaled the flames. The burning tornado then engulfed the dragon and it fell to the ground. Haylee launched out of the tornado with dual swords and stabbed Volvagia in the throat. A loud screech was heard and the flames disappeared.

"Whoa," Smashbro remarked.

"Epic," MM stated. A dark shard lifted from the carcass and the clergy Zora appeared again. Smashbro jumped down and quickly smashed it. He helped up the Zora. The other zoras walking in, warry of evil.

"What did they want?" Smashbro asked.

"They wanted," the clergy paused and gasped, "they wanted the artifact."

"What artifact?" MM asked walking over.

"The Zora's Angel," Haylee replied. "It is the very thing keeping the Zora's alive in this dry area, and around the world!"

"Sounds important," Smashbro stated.

"It is," spoke a Zora, walking up to MM, Smashbro, and Haylee. "Forgive me, I am the Zopho, or as humans would see it, the head of millitary. If the Angel falls into the wrong hands, it can produce world-wide catastrophies. That is why I am about to entrust it with you three. This angel will be safe with you, correct?"

"Yes, sir, but what aid does it do you zoras if we have it?" MM inquired.

"Logical inquiry. The mere existance of that angel is allowing the world to have water. If the angel was to be destroyed..."

"The world would perish," Haylee said.

"Exactly," gasped the clergy,"take the artifact from the alter."

CRASH! The ceiling broke open and a masked man dropped in. "Well, done, pesky heroes, but I just can't resist!" The masked man launched up to the hole again.

"What is it with maksed people? Can't there be a GOOD masked man?" MM said.

"Where's the angel?" asked the military man.

"You got to be kidding," Smashbro said.
