*Yuki casts a powerful spell on Hanna to alter her sense of smell amd sight. *
Yuki: We will follow that dragon.
*Yuki takes off after Rachel and Thaddeus's body*
Yuki: This area is doomed

*Hanna manages to calm down with the help of Yuki's magic*

Hanna: Alright...

*She is still breathing slowly*

*Rachel finds a small icy plateau, and gently sets Thaddeus down.*
*She whines, nuzzles his chest, and howls to the sky again.*
*In her huge form, she lays around Thaddeus corpse protectively, and moans in sorrow.*
*When Maggie shows up, she jumps up and howls with rage at her, mostly fearing she is here to eat her beloveds corpse.*

---
*Violator sighs at Spawn, seemingly appearing from nowhere.*
Violator: Heal already, I want you to kill that spirit..
Spawn: Leave me alone, or I will end you too...
Violator: That's not nice to say to you Dinh.
*He laughs.*

*Yuki lands by Rachel and also Guards Thaddeus's body*
Yuki: Hanna, be prepared to to fight.
*Yuki snarls and flattens her ears as she gets ready to use fox fire*

*Rachel roars with rage at Yuki and Hanna.*
*She slams her tail on her location, and stands protectively over Thaddeus.*
*Her wings are spread wide, and purple energy builds in her mouth in her rage.*

*Yuki lashes her 9 tails*
Yuki: Fool, we're here to help!
*Yuki snarls viciously*
Yuki: I'm a spirit, I can't actually die. I'm immortal. It would be a waste to fight me.

*Maggie lands and looks at Rachel lashing out at Hanna and Yuki and roars*

*She turns back into human form and takes a seat on a rock*

*She ignores Hanna and Yuki*

Maggie: It's painful, isn't it? It all could have been avoided. Had you listened to your farther! But you didn't did you? And now look where it's gotten you. Your love dead, your chance at happiness taken away from you.

*Maggie stands up*

Maggie: Your farther and I would have taught you better. You know that right? You wouldn't have had these horrid sad emotions swirling around inside you.

*She looks at thad's body then back at Rachel*

Maggie: I'm not here to eat him, if that's what you're thinking. I'm here to get you to come home.

*Hanna is still mounted on Yuki's back and holds on tight*

*Rachel howls in sorrow, and smashes the ground with her forearms while looking at her mother..*
*She looks over at Yuki, and roars with anger. She gestures with her talon to the corpse, and then to Yuki.*
*Then stomps on the ground.*
Violators voice echoes in Yuki's head: You were Thaddeus's protector... yet you let him die... she blames you...
*Rachel roars, and stomps though making sure to keep Thaddeus's corpse intact.*

*Hanna stays on Yuki's back not daring to get off*

*Maggie finally acknowledges Yuki's presence*

Maggie: I don't know who, or what you are. But I think Rachel might hate you more than me! Congratulations! Now I would strongly suggest leaving before I, make you!

*Yuki rolls her eyes with sudden apathy*
Yuki: I've existed for thousands of years, this is just another death. If you will not accept my help, then I will leave. Peace.
*Yuki flies off calmly*
Yuki: we have more things to worry about

*Maggie watches Yuki fly off the looks back at Rachel*

*Hanna holds onto Yuki's fur lightly*

Hanna: That guy the dragon threw into the wall. We've got to stop him from killing more people. Iris is still in that building with it!

*Rachel watches Yuki fly off, makes a sorrowful whine.*
*She curls up next to Thaddeus, and sits for a time ignoring her surroundings. Hours go by, and Rachel finally reverts back to human.*
*She cries, and holds her beloveds corpse.*

---
*Spawn sits on the couch, just cold chilling.*

*Yuki nods solemly*
Yuki: Let's go back there.

*Maggie waits with Rachel only leaving at a point to get a drink and something to eat*

*She approaches her daughter and goes to put a hand on her shoulder with one of her normal arms. Her wing arms form a cape that drapes down to her knees*

*Hanna holds on*

Hanna: What's or game plan? I'll have to turn off the juice eventually, keeping it on to long can cause. Bad things...

*Yuki stays silent*
Yuki: you and Iris wont be with me, I am sorry. But I must keep you both safe. *Yuki opens a portal amd gently but swifly puts hanna inside. On the other side there is green grass, an open stream, birds, life.*
Yuki: I will return shortly with Iris.
*Yuki keeps flying towards the room*

Hanna: No wait!

*Hanna sits in the grass*

Hanna: (I c-can't lose you...)

*Hanna presses some buttons on her backpack then detaches the tube from her head*

*She slowly deflates back to her squishy looking 5'8 self*

*She is exhausted from the withdrawal of the green fluid*

*She lays weakly curled in a ball and sobs afraid for her friends and sad for the loss of yet another life*

*Spawn sits on the couch, looking at his surroundings.*

---
*Rachel's eyes glow purple, and with hate as she stares at her mother.*
Rachel: Don't you dare touch me...
*She turns back to Thaddeus and drapes her wings over him, and herself.*
Rachel: Leave... you... monster.

*Maggie sighs and pulls her hand back*

Maggie: What a shame... I'm actually sad...

*She takes a few steps back*

Maggie: That I didn't get to kill him myself.

*Maggie shifts into her dragon form and takes flight leaving some of her scales on the floor. She then flies off*

*The scales make a vile puddle of corruption*

*Taldeer sighs heavily*
Let's go then, before we realize that we forgot more than we probably did.
*she begins walking towards the nearest webway gate*

*Hrorki walks out of the room that he's been standing in for like 5 hours and looks around*

*Rachel screams with rage at Maggie, and is too weak from the gunshot to do much more.*
*She holds Thaddeus, and thinks.*
*As a after thought she heals her wounds.*

---
*Spawn sits, and doesn't notice Hrorki.*

*Hrorki smells Spawn by his slightly off scent and turns to face him*
*slowly approaches Spawn and calls out to him*
Who are you? Identify yourself!
*has his bolt rifle cradled loosely in his hands, ready to snap up into a firing position if need be, but otherwise not acting overtly hostile as of yet*

*Iris pokes her terrified head from the kitchen*
Iris: W-what the feth is going on!? What happened!?
*Her skin is coal black*


*Horus and Morrigan see things flying and begin to really book it*


*Mergoux runs into the main room, sword drawn and ready to fight whatever made all the noise*
Mergoux: What the- You! Iris! What's happened!?
*Iris shrugs and they both look at Spawn*
Mergoux: Who are you!?

OOC: Of all the times for things to go down... Ugh! Curse you workfoooooorce!*

*Yuki swiftly flies in the room*
Yuki: This planet is going to ruin, Iris. Come with me and you will be safe.
*Yuki looks around the room and her tails sway magnificently*

*Irilis watches Hrorki closely, hoping to see some action*

*Iris stares at Yuki then shakes her head*
Iris: W-what?! I can't leave! Wait...What do you mean going to ruin!?

*Yuki lashes her tails with frustration*
Yuki: An evil far greater than anything I've seen before is upon us. You must come and be safe with Hanna. I insist.
*Yuki turns into a small child and runs to Iris, crying*
Yuki: I need you to survive this!

*Iris kneels down and hugs Yuki and speaks softly*
Iris: Yuki... I cannot go... not without my husband, my friends...
*She looks down at the morphed child*
Iris: I won't abandon them...


*Morgan comes over to Maril, having been too far away to hear the racket of the roof*
*He nods and starts goign over the thing to see what needs fixing*

*Spawn no chalantantly pulls out his Magnum and fires at Hroki.*
*Then looks over at Merg, and shoots at her as well.*
*He fire necroplasma tipped bullets, so they leave a green streak.*

//"must be nice to have them, hm?"//
*Yuki nods and turns into a fox*
Yuki: Then I shall stay too.
*The fox floats gently*

*Iris screams as the shots go off*
Iris: What the- STOP!


*Merg crumples to the ground, clutching at the bullet wound in her gut*
*Iris runs over to her and tries to help*
