Kasumi came over to Io and embraced her. She new the Soricid half-breed had a kind heart but she wasn't in the mood. She walked over to the torn corpse of her once best friend and lover. She stuck her hand into one of his many pockets. She felt a velvet surface touch her fingertip. Gasping, she pulled a small deep purple box from the pocket. Inside, a note was laid on top of a ring. The not read, "Dear Io, Should I die a forsaken beast, know that I will love you forever. Please, wear the ring."
The ring was white gold inlaid in the band was a rainbow of every gemstone imaginable. In the center teo band crossed each othe and went around the ring. It was her favorite, teal-purple opal.
Finally hitting her like a rock, grief took hold. She slumped over the mangled body sobbing and kissed the forehead once.
"Yes!" she screamed to the flickering sun. SHe then returned to her crying.
ahahhhahahaha
KAt stands for Kasumi Aditi TamotsuXD
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Aditi-
Apollyon. So, this is Him.
I followed warily at first behind Kasumi, half expecting her to swipe at me with her blade. But i guess she was too focused on the situation.
A red dragon burst into sight comign stright for us.
"Who is that?" I asked with soem awe as I moved closer.
"Seth." Azera and Io answered with a twang of sadness.
most of them morphed and a battle and some dialogue followed as I stood there in a daze.
Apollyon had been in front of me the whole time.
He picked up Azera and tossed her aside after I heard a faint snap. The hyaenadon fell limp to hte ground and I saw Kasumi flinch.
Why didn't she do something?
Suddenly I realized I had been called upon.
"ADITI!" cried the dragon girl Io as she desperately clung to her former friend. "SHOOT!"
Without so much as a hesitation, I drew my gun and shot a well-aimed bullet for his heart.
He morphed and uttered "Finally," as he changed back into the Seth everyone knew.
Yes, finally. Apollyon was dead. Or maybe he would just find a new host. Who knows with these fallen angels.
Io lingered over the dead body of her friend and I could see the tears in her eyes.
Kasumi had gone to Azera and picked up her corpse. She lay the hyaenadon next to her brother and gave Io a quick hug.
She glared at me with blood-red eyes filled with hate.
"Why didn't you try to help them?" I asked her unflinching under her gaze.
Kasumi glared even more if thats possible and replied, "I gave up killing and besides that was Io's fight."
"That fight cost her two friends! You don't really believe she'd rather have you stay out then help! Azera would still be alive," i told her. "Just goes to show hwo useless friends truly are."
She raised her hand that grew long Soricid claws ready to strike me when a a chain shot out and stopped her.
"Kasmui-sama," came Tamotsu's voice, "Don't you think enough blood's been spilled?"
Kasumi lowered her hand but asked with malice, "Why are you even here. Aditi?"
Smiling to myself, I replied the same as always, "To recruit of course! You and your friends would make excellent recruits!"
Kasumi reached up and grabbed the circlet off my head. It was identical to hers and Tamotsu's, only made of white pearl with many golden stars.(theirs are black and dark gray)
"Your a liar," Kasumi said as she got in my face, "They don't give these to recruiters and they don't send out skilled assassins to recruit random halfers. the truth or I will kill you."
Grinning, I shook my head and replied, "You ARE smart, Kasumi! and all along I thought it was just your strength that made you good!"
"I can make an exception to my no-killing rule Aditi," she threatened.
"Fine! You got me!" I told her and pointed to Seth's lifeless body, "THAT's what I'm here for. The Agency was notified that the fallen angel, Apollyon, had been found and had joined some halfers. I couldn't quite tell who it was because of the supression drugs but I found out today and wound up fulfilling my mission."
Tamotsu moved closer and commented, "Why not recruit him?"
I shook my head, "That was never the point. He was a danger to the whole of the world and the Agency protects the world."
Kasumi snorted and walked away with Tamotsu trialing behind.
"But I still haven't given up on recruiting you Kasummi. You're my ace," I whispered and turned the other way.

-Sky/Poochy-
Sorry I'm posting the rules but I thought the intro was too long so I'm going to make it a link instead! XD I'm just that lazy.... And I also tweaked some of the rules...
Io came up to me while my teeth were chattering after Xavier came back with supplies to get the collars off. I would do anything to get this stupid thing off. I hate being collared by humans!
"Moon, I'm going to try something." I nodded and shivered more. It felt like there were icicles on my fur now.
Io wrapped herself around me in her dragon form, which felt a little weird since I was freezing to death, and started to try to heat up. I had heard earlier that she could raise her temperature to a boiling 300 degrees. Oh, joy to the world.
I didn't react at first but once she rose it to boiling, I whimpered. It was starting to unfrost my skin but also burn my fur. She brought it up higher and I started to screech. It burned like hell on a good day!
She stopped and unwrapped herself from me and went on to a guy named Seth. I murmured my thanks to her as I started to lick my fur to calm it down. I could fully move now, even with my bones popping into place with moving. I felt better, but still weird. I didn't know what they gave me in the workroom, but just as long as I got better was the point. I pulled out some of the dead hair that accumulated from being frozen and being burned, and then shook out my fur. Some hair just dropped off that I didn't get to before.
I just watched what happened next. The guy named Seth, his scales and eye color changed, broke out of the cage he was in and set the guards aflame. The rest of the group seemed bewildered by his appearance. Immediately, Io screeched out orders.
"To those who can run, run! Fly! Those injured or not adept for travel, get on my back, NOW!" I could run, so I decided to follow everybody else.
I couldn't exactly keep up, but I pushed myself to maximum speed that I could reach. Even if I wasn't a cheetah, I could still run pretty fast. I wasn't exactly sure what happened next. The thing that had seemingly possessed Seth had been killed and I transformed back into my human form, ready for a fight with some of the others in the group.
Once Seth's body went back to normal, Io picked him up and put him on her back, flying out of the building. I transformed back into my leopard form and followed her out, and for once, didn't find ourselves surrounded by guards.
We ran out of the building, Xavier finally finding a way how to get the collars off. He got his off first and then started on everybody else with their collars. I got mine off, which made me shake off my collar in gratitude. I hated being controlled by humans, like I had said before, but if it was for a long time, well I almost ended up killing myself.
Io was trying to get Seth to talk to her while some people watched her and Seth while some just plopped down on the gravel and sighed out, relieved. I did that, so happy that I wasn't being controlled anymore.
*warning, this will be LONG PS, I decided Io knows Seth's secret too*
In the cell, Seth became restless. David peered over at him from across the stone floor.
"You know it's not the end of the world if you cant have a smoke!" he said annoyed.
Io cut in when she saw seth having trouble trying to respond in a non-confusing way. "It's a, um, it's a long story but basically, if he doesn't smoke...something bad will happen."
David looked away, clearly not convinced. Sky and Sora were tending to a wound on Zack's arm. Time passed slowly, but surely. Seth's condition worsened and worsened. Looking over, Io saw the sky colored Irises turning an onyx black. If she didn't act quickly, there was going to be trouble.
After a shor while, Xavier returned with supplies to break the collars. Moon still lay cold as ice on the ground. Io walked over to him. Since she was a fire-breathing dragon, she could raise her body heat to a steaming 300 degrees. It was worth a try to see if she could help warm Moon.
"Moon I'm going to try something."
He just nodded slightly and shivered. Io bent down and embraced him and sent heat soaring through her limbs. When he didn't react she raised it. Nothing happened until the temp rose to boiling. He began to whimper a little. Soon he was full out screeching. She let him go and it stopped, but he no longer shivered. The medication had boiled away to a harmless fluid. He noted his thanks and Io moved back to Seth.
"What Is your name?" she asked him quietly. She was checking his state of mind.
He barely managed to say seth, struggling with some other word. He was close. Too close to that other state of mind than Io liked. With the collars removed and no humans in sight, the halfers began plotting a way to escape.
"Well the lock looks fairly complicated," someone said.
"I could pick it if I had a needle or pin..." muttered Xavier. Maybe he was a good lock picker, but how he knew the trade Io wasn't sure of. Disregarding thoughts of his past, she pulled the bobby pin from her bangs. The only one the humans had forgotten.
"Here," she handed it to the crow half-breed.
"Thanks."
He set to work. Becoming a crow, he turned on his side and glided through the bars. Becoming human again once on the other side, he began prodding around the lock with the pin.
Turning back to her boyfriend she saw his hair beginning to change to match his now crimson and onyx eyes. He yawned in a bored manner and revealed newly sharpend teeth. Getting up, he walked over to the gate where Xavier was working. Due to the dim lighting, nobody noticed his tinted hair and dark eyes filled with malice. He was changing. Reverting back to his old self. THis was REALLY bad. With no weapons, Io could do nothing.
Reaching for the bars, he turned and winked at her. He griped the bars, making Xavier look up from his work. With a terrifying force, Seth, no not Seth - not really - tore the iorn rods from thier place gaurding the cell. Sh*t! Now the humans ran from the other room and gaped at the man with dark blak hair tipped with red wearing a wickid smile and holding at least 10 Iron bars in a clawed dragon foot. Without hesitation he opened his mouth and set them ablaze. Mos of the group in the cell looked utterly bewildered. What had happened to the fun-loving saracastic friend they were traveling with?
Io wasted no time. She screamed orders to the others. "Those who can run, run! Fly! Those injured or those not adept for travel, get on my back! NOW!" with that the room was filled with an enormous black dragon carrying a few passengers. Io flew away from the prison a lighting speed, crashing through a large window along the way. The others from the group called to her from below or beside her.
"What is going on!?" Sora shouted over a mouthfull of wind.
"I never wanted you to find out!" Io repeated through sobs. "I'll tell you when we get to safety! Let' s find the other Half of the group!"
Soon the bait group, minus Seth, saw the others. Io landed by Azera and let the passengers off her back. SHe became human. The others ran to friends and began retelling the story. "Azera, it's happend. He lost controll, they took the cigarettes! He's becoming Apollyon!"
"No!" Azera whispered. Kasumi, followed at a distance by Aditi, wandered over.
"What's wrong? Is there some..." SHe never got to finish her sentence. A Red beast of a dargon shot from the far off building and was coming quickly.
"Who is that?" Aditi asked daring tro come closer.
"Seth." Azera and Io said the name together. THe dragon raced across the sky at break-neck speed. Realizing trouble, most of the group backed away. Moon, Gray, Dani, and Ariel morphed and tensed, ready for a fight. Io too morphed and flew to meet Seth.
"We meet again, Io." a growling voice resounded through the atmosphere.
"LEAVE APOLLYON!" Io bellowed with the same force.
"never," he growled.
Quick as lighning heavy claws slashed across Io's Back. She turned to face the monster. Gray came to her side after seeing the blood fall to the ground.
"Gray, leave! He's unstable. You'll die."
"Oh, don't ruin the fun!" seth shouted and lunged at gray who retalliated with a bite to the massive dragon's foreleg. A howl sounded from below.
Azera! Seth dove to the ground, followed closely by the other two dragons.
"Azera you wouldn't turn on your own brother would you?" apollyon's voice mocked seth's.
"YOu are no brother of mine." she spat and lunged forwared. He grabed her in his jaws and flung her aside. She was dead. Io took the opportunity and dug her fore claws into his chest.
"ADITI!" she shouted to the strange assasin girl. "SHOOT!"
She shot. Io released her hold. The body fell changing back to the darkened human body. The bullet had hit him in the chest. large clawmarks encircled the bullet hole, along with bite marks from gray on the neck. For the last time, the body changed again. Back to blue and yellow hair with matching eyes. It uttered on last word. "Finally." and it was dead.
~HV
Okay so I guess i have some explaining to do.
eh heh heh... so yeah. Seth...well he was basically a vessel for the fallen angel, apollyon. By smoking a certain mix of certain stuffs, that part of him was supressed. By taking away the antidote, it was released. So basically, that's what happend. He broke through the cell and killed the humans. He also killed Azera, but Aditi was able to aim for a weak spot, and already open area of *flinch* fleash and killed him. No more seth, no more azera. Their dead. more on this later, any questions, ask.
