Gidget barely got her hand up and made the first utterance of a profane word before the creature made it's hasty escape. She tightened the grip on her blade out of frustration before returning it to the holster from whence it came. She powered down the EM field and turned to see if everyone else was okay.

Seeing that both Ako and Deora were standing made her day. She rushed to Ako and embraced him. "I was so scared." she whispered.


Ako felt a growing sense of anger and frustration as the being made it's escape, but all was forgotten the moment Gidget wrapped her arms around him. He returned the gesture, though it felt a bit pointless as he tried to squeeze the suit around her.

Awkwardness aside, her whispered words stopped him. They were so quiet, he couldn't doubt their sincerity. He remembered her terrified voice on the phone, the reason he'd burned out an elevator to hurry here, but when he'd arrived she seemed to have everything under control. The whole time he'd been here with her, she'd seemed in control, and he wondered how this had rattled her. For now, he just squeezed tighter, regardless of the suit, and whispered, "You're okay. It's gone for now."

He could feel the being retreating, but knew it wouldn't be long before it attacked again.

Seeing the impending danger the creature bolted upwards into the lights. Into the system again. The attack may have only taken a second but it could be faster than that. It dispersed...for the moment. But it would strike again when it could.


Deora cursed loudly and creatively in her native tongue as the water splashed harmlessly to the floor the being had occupied moments before. She cursed it's nonexistent mother and father, it's sexuality, and compared it to a few choice animals before throwing a hand and forcefully splashing the water against a wall and releasing her grip on it. She dropped her fists to her and and paced a bit breathing heavily before she could get a grip on her anger. Then, remembering how her mother had stayed so calm, she took a long, deep breath in, held it, and slowly let it out. She then calmly picked up a small portion of the water and floated it back into the flask at her hip. She was still angry that the thing had gotten away, but at least now she wasn't explosively so.

She looked to the other two in the room; Ms. Gidget and the man she'd run into earlier. It seemed they were an item, or other wise very close. The scene made her feel awkward, the girl who couldn't help, and now had no one to turn to. She thought of saying something, maybe asking if Ms. Gidget was okay, or thanking the man for protecting her when the thing attacked, but she decided it was better to step quietly out of the room. She gave them their private space, waiting quietly out in the hall to ask if she could offer any more help.

Sure he was used to all the strange stuff Meta's do but....this was kinda strange. That animal-like Meta's have similar senses and behavior he understood. But wasn't this a little too much sniffing and a little too personal?
He was about to say something before she gave him that knowing grin. He could help but laugh about that." Yeah, it's like that."

Before he could say anything else she gave him a rather strong hug. Enough to lift him off the ground and slowly crush him. It gave Theo a good opportunity to canceling out most of the force. Freya did warn him that she was a hugger but he didn't think it were these kinds of hugs.

"Yeah, okay, let's. But shall we find Trinity now? You haven't seen her in a while have you?"


Okami blinked a few times before dropping Theonis. "Oh, is that what I'm supposed to do? Find Trinity?"

She brought her finger up to her "chin" in what a thoughtful manner. "Now that I think about it, it has been a long time since I've seen her."

Her expression quickly shifted to one of grave concern. "Is she in trouble?" she asked.
 
PostPosted: Fri Jan 24, 2014 3:45 am
"Yeah, Possibly. She is branded a traitor in Valhalla and doesn't have her powers anymore. Plus she might run away and we'll never find her then." Theo replied." So shall we go?"

Okami looked at Theonis like he was just being silly.

"Pfft, she can't hide from me, silly. This is probably why Freya brought me out. Y'see, I can track shadows like a bloodhound to a scent."

"Yup. As long as she is casting a shadow, I can find her anywhere on this planet."


She proudly grinned and knelt down onto her own shadow.

"It's just one of the many things I can do that Freya can't. Like this little trick here."

She dipped her claws into the shadow and pulled it wider from it's borders. It looked like she was opening a tent flap that led from the surface to a never ending black void.

"Human skin can't do this. Only a shadow bound creature like me can make a door to the shadow realm like this. I could even-"

Her fur stood up on end for a split second before she yanked her fingers out of the shadow, causing it to snap back to it's original shape.

She stood up quickly and backed away and took several deep breaths in an attempt to calm herself and keep herself from going wild. It was a good thing her father taught her the technique so long ago.

She looked up at Theonis, her eyes wide with fright. "There is something in there. Something is making the shadow creatures very very scared."

"Huh, that's looks kinda cool actually." Theo replied. It did look kinda cool.

He was ready to leap in with her as soon as she said it would be okay. Shadow traveling was nothing new for him at this point.. But something spooked her. A lot.

"Not just the shadow creatures down there. You look pretty shaken up yourself.I take it that thing wasn't there before?" Theo feared it was that being. He wouldn't be surprised if it was. It could had Trinity's powers so it should be able to be in there but....somehow it didn't fit. That being didn't seem intimidating or aggressive at all.

"Maybe it's easier if I fly. I think we would have already been at Valhalla by now if Freya hadn't been so adamant about not flying."


Lights around them burst as the creature lounged at Gidget and Ako. It came from various places .It had split itself up and now attacked the two all at once. It wrapped around them like a coil and begun a all-out drain.

Alec blushed a bit at her fairly blunt, and correct, assumption that he would use his power. He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself so that his power wouldn't get away from him.

"Ummm...I had always thought of going to a movie, and then maybe some ice cream after that."


Kerana
"That sounds great!" she couldn't restrain herself she hugged him tight and when. She opened her eyes they found themselves in a dark theater. She looked over to see what kind of movie Alec had in mind that they'd see.


Rikki Tikki Travi

Alec looked around at his surroundings with some confusion. It then occurred to him that this moment was like a lucid dream. That meant that he was supposed to decide what movie was going to be on the screen.

This caused a mental knee jerk reaction. He didn't like being put on the spot like this, and most of the movies he watched were the type that were watched alone. He remembered the scene from Ghost Busters where their thoughts would manifest into their destruction only to become a giant marshmallow mascot.

The screen lit up and the scene in question faded onto the screen. There were Ernie Hudson, Harold Ramis, and Bill Murray asking Dan Akroyd, "Ray, what did you do?"


Kerana giggled as the stain puffed marshmallow man appeared. "He's so puffy I'm gonna die!" she said as a joke. She placed her head on his shoulder, "How did you know it was one of my favorites?" The movie progressed as Egon came up with the idea to "Cross the streams"

Heather was stirred from her indignation by Deora's sudden declaration and exit. She looked around at the flickering lights and felt her animal instincts tick. "There they go again. I've got a bad feeling about what might be causing that."

Larry lumbered up to Mitch and looked down at him. "Are you gonna say that Miss Smith is doing this too?"


Mitch had mixed feelings on the matter of Trinity being a traitor, yet there was enough evidence that agreed with what Chuck has said. "I don't just blame stuff on Miss Smith but I also won't rule her out as a possibility. I've seen first hand of what she's capable of on the field. When someone leaves with being 'emotionally compromised' anything is possible. Unfortunately as much I don't want to believe it, but that video was evidence enough for me."

Chuck was felt really drowsy when he woke in his office. His body took a while for it to catch up with his mind. He coughed a bit and dragged himself to the chair, or at least it felt like dragging. To the normal person he looked like he was dragging himself at a normal rate which to him felt like he was barely moving.

He angled himself to view the screens. He would rewind things a bit to catch up on everything else but his eyes focused on Gidget's cell. It look like a battle happened. He wasn't sure how much time had past. When he was feeling up to speed he sent Liv a text.
Chuck
Hi Liv
What's your status?
-Chuck


Chuck tend to be impatient when it comes to idling about. He decided to speed off toward the cell Gidget was residing in.


--------------------–------------------------------------------------------–------------------------------------------------------–------------------------------------------------------–----------------------


Catherine coughed as she woke. "Gidget... You oka-? *cough*. I'm not feeling so hot."

Liv responded right away when she saw the text from Chuck.

Quote:
"It's done. Can I have my other snack now? That secretary of yours?"




The Shadow Creature looked up. It had found it's prey. Trinity's shadow was calling it. Until now it had been devouring the other creatures in the shadow realm. But no matter how many it consumed, it did not satisfy it's need. It's hunger. It began to stalk Trinity,  
PostPosted: Wed Feb 12, 2014 7:47 pm
Chuck slowed down a little and saw Liv's response. With a grin on his face he knew now the real fun can really begin. He quickly responded to Liv.
Chuck

Hi Liv
What's your status?
-Chuck

It's done. Can I have my other snack now? That secretary of yours?


Thank you Liv. I have told you before, leave Julie out of this.
Is Trinity in Valhalla? Do you know where?


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Trinity continued making her way to the garage. Valhalla seemed way bigger without the ability to teleport like she used to. She really missed that ability as well as the endless storage space and being able to use shadow manipulation in her favor. At least one thing she has with her is her martial arts training it will still come in handy shadow power or no.

Because she no longer had her connection to shadows, she could not sense the threat that was hunting her. One things for certain if it were to show up she would be able to sense it's presence if it surfaced anywhere near her. Her hand went to her pocket and she felt reassured that she could feel the hilt of the retractable light glaive. Though she couldn't sense the creature's presence, she couldn't help but feel like she was being watched. She figured it may be her knowledge of how many cameras they have or the fact Chuck has labeled her as a traitor. Regardless on she went to the garage.

Liv wasn't going to be responsible for Trinity's death. Nor did she like Chuck. Sure he looked good but that's it. She texted back.

No, she took off after she calmed down when I brought her to my place.


Shadows slowly slithered towards Trinity from behind. Slow but steady, As she passed new objects those shadows would also follow her.

Shadows slowly slithered towards Trinity from behind. Slow but steady, As she passed new objects those shadows would also follow her.

Although Trinity tried to comfort herself with other possibilities she still had the nagging feeling that she was being followed. She tried looking at the corner of her eyes but there was nothing there. If she had her power she could have detected other shadows, including the ones that are currently following her. She let out a deep breath and held the hilt of the retracted glaive tight.

"Maybe it's easier if I fly. I think we would have already been at Valhalla by now if Freya hadn't been so adamant about not flying."


Okami wasn't keen on the idea of flying either. but that wasn't her primary concern at the moment. She placed her hand on the shadow, causing a rippling effect. She closed her eyes and concentrated on the turmoil wreaking havoc in the shadow realm.

Terror. Paranoia. Evasion. Confusion. Vigilance. Anxiety. It wasn't the denizens of the shadow realm that were in danger.

Her eyes snapped open, blazing with their predatory golden hue. She ripped the shadow open again and looked up Theonis. Her tone was closer to her human counterpart as she laid out the situation.

"The kage yokai, shadow spirits, are not in danger. They are scared because the foreign creature is hunting another shadow user. A user that is in our plane. I could feel Teshou oniisan healing the shadow realm, so that leaves Trinity. And it's close to pouncing."

"We have to go now. I'll take you to her, and then try to kill the creature."


She placed her hind leg in the shadow like one would a swimming pool. She then reached a clawed hand out to Theonis and warned, "This is going to feel different than when Trinity does it."

Lights around them burst as the creature lounged at Gidget and Ako. It came from various places .It had split itself up and now attacked the two all at once. It wrapped around them like a coil and begun a all-out drain.


Gidget could only cry out in shock and terror. It happened so fast, and she didn't have the concentration necessary to work her suit. She tightened her hold on Ako as she felt the suit's reserves begin to fluctuate between empty and full again and again. It was sensory overload.

Alec could only chuckle nervously. He had no idea it was one of her favorite movies. It just happened. Like a dream he wished would never end.

He took a moment to enjoy her head on his shoulder before his damn logic took over.

"This isn't right." he whispered.

His head dipped and dropped his long hair along both sides of his face, covering it once again. It was too perfect, everything happening the way he had always wanted it to. He may not have all the knowledge of the mental world around him, but he knew this was dangerous.

He rubbed his eyes as the tears began to develop. "We need to stop."
he said a little louder now.

Mitch had mixed feelings on the matter of Trinity being a traitor, yet there was enough evidence that agreed with what Chuck has said. "I don't just blame stuff on Miss Smith but I also won't rule her out as a possibility. I've seen first hand of what she's capable of on the field. When someone leaves with being 'emotionally compromised' anything is possible. Unfortunately as much I don't want to believe it, but that video was evidence enough for me."


Heather refused to believe this. When she was reptilian, she could sense the nature of a person after being around them for a bit. Trinity wasn't a traitor. She had never met Chuck, so she had no real way of knowing about him.

"We don't know the details of her side. All we know is what came from that message you talked about, and what that Chuck guy says happened."

"Look, all I'm really concerned about is the Matron house kids. We had an arrangement with Trinity and Gidget because we trusted them. If this kind of danger is what happens when Chuck Richards is in charge I need to rethink our staying here. That is, unless I get Chuck's personal word that we will be safe here."


Larry could only nod in agreement with his big sister. What she said sounded good to him, and to that day she had yet to steer him wrong.

Her wings twitched as she made her last point, "Not to mention that his personal staff hurt my little brother and good friend. I need to talk to Chuck Richards...now."

Theonis didn't ask question and took her hand the moment she offered it. He met her glowing golden eyes with his own." Let's go" If Trinity was in danger than he had to do whatever he could to keep her safe. Especially now that she doesn't have her powers anymore.

His mind was already thinking of strategies but as long as they didn't know what they were up against it could prove useless. But something stuck....Trinity didn't have her powers anymore and yet Freya said that the creature was hunting a shadow user?


That instant the creature lashed out with it's tendrils to wrap around her legs and pull itself forth.
