*Yuki shakes her head*
Yuki: I do mot know any other beings other than you or Iris. You two are my priority.
*Yuki opens a gate way*
------------
*Thaddeus bursts out in hearty laughter*
*He can barely get the words out between chuckles*
Thaddeus: You- *Chuckle* You think you can keeo her safe without corrupting her?! *Chuckles*
Thaddues: I dont intend on dying anytime soon, Im afraid.

*Hanna looks at the floor*

Hanna: N-neither do I b-but shouldn't we h-help them?

*Flagg sighs, and gives Thaddeus a hard stare.*
Flagg: This place is doomed... things have come here that even I wish to have no part of. Rachel would be safe with her mother and I.. You and the rest of this place are destined to die, so why not let me save my daughter?
*He sighs.*
Flagg: You already corrupted my daughter, and stole something she can never have back... though you both may not realize what you have done.

---
*Violators giggles fill Yuki's mind.*
Violator: You think you can escape? Where ever you go we will follow, everyone's soul has been marked, and spawny boy is going to collect...

*Taldeer sighs*
My heart, you can hardly judge me for hiding my stolen Imperial tech underneath potted plants when I know that you have a virus bomb behind the coffee machine.
*grabs the bomb from under the ficus then tucks it into a side pouch*
Those who live in glass houses should not throw stones dear....

*Thaddeus scowls*
Thaddeus: If you kill me, I hope you know Rachel will destroy everything you care for or just run away. She wouldn't want to do anything without me being by her side. Are you that incapable of realizing the consequences?
--------------
*Yuki lashes her tail. She was never used to caring for any other person's well being. *
Yuki: Hanna... just come with me..
//"I'm not strong enough to fight them off. "//
*The fox flicks her ear impatiently*
Yuki: This evil is too dangerous.

*Hanna nods slowly*

Hanna: O-ok... Will you promise to s-save as m-many people a-as you can?

*Hanna looks frightened*

*Flagg grins.*
Flagg: I will handle that... and you already have a part to play Thaddeus, you may not realize it yet.
*He sighs, and rolls his shoulders.*
Flagg: Understand her mother is having a fit somewhere, and I am willing to speak... please listen to my words, let me leave this place with Rachel.

---
*Violator laughs in Yuki's mind.*
Violator: You foolish spirit... I have a special place for you in hell...

*Hrorki rubs his face with his augmetic arm*
Disagreeing with your kind seems to be a common human condition I'm afraid...

*Irilis replies, sounding almost tired*

At least we have one thing in common.

*Yuki sighs and closes the portal*
Yuki: I'll stay and help.
*The fox spirit shuts out the voices and grins*
Yuki: This will be... fun..
----------
Thaddeus: Leave with her? I'll leave with her but you will not tear us apart. You'll have to kill me. I wont part with her willingly.

*Hanna nods again*

Hanna: O-ok... S-should I get ready to fight to?

*Spawn rolls his shoulders, and starts walking towards the room ignoring the confrontation.*

---
*Rachel nods.*
Rachel: I won't leave Thaddeus...
*Flagg sighs with annoyance.*
Flagg: Then you will die, nothing can stop the coming darkness... I will not shelter the human, nor will I willingly abandon my daughter... I will stay then. With Maggie, wherever she....
*He watches spawn with wariness, and debates on what to do.*

---
*Violator laughs insanely.*
Violator: Oh yes! Such fun we will have!

*Yuki shivers and turns into her battle form*
Yuki: fox fire...
----------
*Thaddeus looks at Rachel*
Thafdeus:Rachel... remember me. *he hands her his double whips*
Thaddeus: I love you. Remember our training...
*Thaddeus smiles with his warm brown eyes*

*Looks thoughtful*

I lived in a glass house once. It blew up. Not a good choice, I think.

...

And that's an experiment, not an exterminatus munition. Don't worry about it too much. Are you ready? I... need to grab some equipment, I think.

*Spawn walks past the trio, and opens the door to the room.*
*He slowly looks around, and draws his magnum.*
*Starts to walk towards the kitchen.*

---
*Rachel looks at the whip, then at Thaddeus.*
Rachel: I will... I-I promise... and I love you too... more then anything.
*Flagg sighs with relief, then looks at the pair.*
Flagg: Christ... you two are dumb. Listen do not go into the room.. that thing that just walked past... just stay out here. Avoid him. At all costs.
*Flagg explodes into a flock of crows.*
Flagg (voice carried on the wind): I love you Rachel... remember that... daughter.

Thaddeus: Thank you. For giving my mortal life a purpose.
*Thaddeus flashes his familiar and charming smile. But as soon as he turned from Rachel he teared up slightly*
Thaddeus: I'm going now. Farewell.
*He walked out of the bedroom to scout the area, mainroom and kitchen*
Thaddeus: Who goes there?

*Hanna takes Yuki going into her battle form as a yes*

Hanna: ...

*She pulls one of the tubes out of he backpack and connects it to the connector in the back of her head*

Hanna: H-here it goes...

*She presses a sequence of buttons and a green fluid starts flowing through the tube and into the back of her head*

Hanna: Gaaah!

*All of Hanna's muscles tense and she gnashes her teeth, slowly her muscles start to expand and she starts growing. She hisses and grunts the entire time as the processes in not painless. After the processes is finishes she has gained a foot in height making her 6'8 and her muscle mass has almost tripped (tho she is pretty small to begin with)*

*She pants for a few seconds then looks at Yuki*

*Rachel watches Thaddeus, and shakes her head.*
Rachel: N-no! You're not facing that thing alone!
*She starts to follow Thaddeus, and tries to keep up with him in her frightful state.*

*Spawn hears Hanna's "Gaaah!" and starts to follow.*
*He stops when he hears Thaddeus, and slowly turns to face him.*
Spawn: The end... do you wish to meet me?
*He slowly turns, and tilts his head.*
Spawn: You... made a mistake by not listening to her...

*Rachel is petrified in fear, watching the encounter.*

*Yuki watches the transformation and nods curtly*
Yuki: Her form is almost twice the size of Hanna and she bends over*
Yuki: Get on. I will be your transport.
------------
*Thaddeus turns toward Rachel with determined rage*
Thaddues: Rachel. Run. RUN.
*Rachel can see that their are tears in Thaddeus's eyes*
Thaddeus: This is a command from teacher to student. Run.

*Hanna nods and gets on*

Hanna: So. What's the plan? Lead them away from the room, then fight them?

*Hanna seems a lot more confident and her voice doesn't falter*

Yuki: If we can lead them through a portal by angering them, I may be able to take them all on myself. But you will have to stay behind when I enter the other world..
*Yuki runs out of the room and takes off into the sky scounting the forest*

*Rachel's eyes widen, and she slowly nods listening to the command.*
*She hesitates for a moment locking eyes with Thaddeus, and tears start to bubble up.*
Rachel: Y-yes.. Senpai..
*She runs off bolts to her room, tears streaming from her eyes.*

*Spawn eye twitches at the display, then steps towards Thaddeus.*
Spawn: There is no escape..
*He draws his magnum, and aims it at Thaddeus.*
Spawn: You are already dead..
*He fires.*

*IIRC BH had already fired all 6 bullets, but I'm a little out of it rn so what do I know*
*In any case, Aerin draws his knife and crawls towards BH, ready to stab the feth out of him*
A: Do you believe in an afterlife?

*Thaddeus smiles one last time and falls over with the shot as he takes his last breath.*
[[THE END]]
-----------------
*Yuki freezes mid flight as she senses a connection that has been severed by death*
Yuki: No...
*Yuki continues flying off although knowing she failed her purpose as a spirit*

*Hanna holds on*

Hanna: What's wrong Yuki?

*Rachel stops mid stride, and her eyes widen in horror.*
*She slowly turns back, then runs back to the kitchen.*

*Spawn stands over Thaddeus, and empties his revolver into his chest.*
*The green bolts strike home, he then reloads his mags.*

*Rachel runs in, and purple energy bleeds from her eyes.*
Rachel: Y-you killed him... y-you killed him! NO!
*Spawn draws his magnum, and steps towards Rach.*
Spawn: Yep.
*Rachel starts to change into her dragon form, spawn responds by shooting her chest.*

Yuki: They killed my Master. Thaddeus Akari is no more.
---------
*The corpse lies there, eyes glazed over, blood splattered, empty shell of someone that once was but will never be again.*
------------
*Yuki soars above the sky and lashes her 9 tails with might, she zips down back to the room making sure Hanna is secure*
Yuki: They are here.

*Hanna grits her teeth*

Hanna: Bastards...

*She is slightly surprised that she said that*

Hanna: Let's find the big boss. I really want to hit em.

*Hanna cracks her knuckles*

*Yuki sees the Body and grunts heavily with saddness*
Yuki: close your eyes hanna.

*Spawn keeps firing as Rachel towers over him, he tries to keep firing but get tail whipped into the wall.*
*Rachel the hulking Magala, sends a focused beam into spawn sending him through the wall.
*She nudges Thaddeus's corpse with her nose, then howls in sorrow.*
*Gently picks her lovers corpse, and smashes through the roof. flying towards the sky.*
*She flies off towards the mountain, booming cries of sorrow fill the skies.*

---
*Spawn slowly gets up from the rubble, and stands up.*
*He picks up his hat, and puts it on.*

*Hanna nods and looks away*

*Her left eye changes to black and red after she smells the blood on the corpse. She then claws at her face slightly*

*She takes deep breaths and barely notices anything going on around her*

*Maggie hears Rachel's cries and takes off, she then heads after the cries*
