*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.
