[[ Thank you to everybody who joined! Hopefully, this will be one of the role-plays that actually has an end to it. *Knocks on wood.* Due to certain circumstances, I will open up one more spot but that’s it! … I mean it!

We can go ahead and began… - BUT! You must first post how your character was transported into the future. After that, cease posting and wait for my signal to continue. ]]

Burikko slowly opened her eyes and glanced up the wall, it took a moment for her eyes to adjust to the wall clock. She blinked slowly and sighed as she plopped her head back onto her pillow. It was only 2:00am and she was wide awake. She grunted and rolled on her side, trying to get comfortable but it just wasn’t happening. She sighed and opened her eyes again and slowly got up out of bed and began to pace the floor in her room. She grunted softly and rubbed her eyes as she finally turned on her bed room light. She didn’t quite understand why she was wide awake. She only went to bed a few hours ago…

Well, there was nothing better to do then get ready for school. She quickly rummaged through the pile of clothes on her floor, and took a whiff of each one to see what was clean and what was dirty. She got dressed, and got her school bag and homework in one place, then ‘brushed’ her fingers through her hair. She plopped down on her bed, and looked up at the clock. 2:03am… She reached for her remote and flipped on the boob-tube, but was rather surprised when all she received was static.

“Damn public television…”

She turned it off, and rested her chin in her palm and stared off into space. She thought about what had to be done, and what she was going to do today at school. After a good long while she looked back up at the clock and growled when she saw it was only 2:04am. She just couldn’t fall back asleep now… She sighed and got up as she walked out of her room and made her way downstairs. She patted her cat on his head and gave him an extra scoop of food even though his dish was full. She sat down at the table and began snacking on a box of cookies that was in reach. It was quiet … that is until…

BOOM!

Burikko looked over her shoulder and raised an eye brow. What was that? She looked, but saw nothing out of the ordinary. She merely shrugged and shoved another cookie in her mouth, but just then…

BOOM! BOOM!

This time, she stood up and turned around, striking an uncomfortable ‘ninja’ pose. Her eyes darted around the room, but again saw nothing. She remained in her ninja pose until she lost her balance and fell forward, landing on her face. She growled and rubbed her nose as she got back up…

KA-BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Burikko’s eyes grew wide as she saw the fridge- the FRIDGE bouncing up and down. She didn’t quite know what to do, but her first thought was that she might be dreaming. She swallowed the lump in her throat, gripped the fridge’s handle and yanked it opened. But instead of the normal milk, cheese, and eggs, she saw some sort of …portal?

“…That’s the last time I eat raw meat before bed.”

She went to close the door, but suddenly heard a voice…

“Wait!” The voice cried out. “Your presents is needed…”

Burikko raised an eye brow as she stared into the portal where the voice was coming from. However, she couldn’t see a face or any life form for that matter.

“What do you want me for?” Burikko asked…

“Rather then telling you… I will show you.”

A bright white light flooded the room, but when it faded… Burikko was gone.

"Where is she!? Where did she go!?"

"Dammit, all this blood...could a little girl do this?"

"You don't know what's she capable of!!!" the voices echoed as two men ran down the hall through the puddles of blood and bodies...

Suddenly, both men's voices froze when a beautiful voice began singing in a very high tone, a sad...angry song...

"Diva...." one male whispered, and listened to where the voice was coming from...the room....the room where 'she' was locked for years...

"She's in there!!" he yelled as he and the other male ran up the long spiral staircase towards their destination. As they threw open the door, the voice stopped, and in front of a large beautiful mirror, a frail pale girl with long light blonde hair and startling ice blue eyes stood, wearing a bloody Victorian gown.

Both men's eyes widened as she slowly turned, her face with blood splotches on them.

".....I'm bored now...." her soft child-like voice whispered with such malice, but innocence as her body glowed, as well as the mirror.

"I will play somewhere else now..." she added in, before closing her eyes, curtsied in front of them as she faded away into the mirror....

A white portal over a building in the now rundown city. Out of the portal stepped a man. He walked to the ledge of the building, gazing his surroundings.

"So much....death."

Conrad Farrel held his hands out towards his surroundings and slowly turned. He was searching for a mind. A sound. A movement. Anything. He turned back to the portal.

"I thought you said you needed my help here! You fool, everyone is dead!"

But the portal had since vanished. Farrel stood annoyed for a moment and walked to the stairwell of the building. He opened the door and proceeded to walk down. Walking down three floors he stopped. A large monstrous spider-like bug stood over a dead body, another of these same bugs was behind it. They had been eating it before they were interrupted. Farrel stood shocked; he had never seen anything like them before. One began to charge at him up the stairway but Farrel acted quickly.

"Let's see what we have here!"

He held his right hand out and the bug stopped in its tracks. He lifted it up and looked at it thoroughly, turning the bug in mid-air as he did. These were but one species of the so called "demons" who had overrun Earth. Afterwards he moved his hand gently to the right and then quickly moved it to the left. The bug moved violently into the air, slamming into the wall. The other bug moved towards him but he stopped this one as well. closing his eyes.

"Fall." He said, reopening his eyes. They were now black. Overcome by his will, the simple-minded creature climbed over the guard rails and fell 15 stories to its death. His eyes returning to normal, Farrel began descending the stairs again. He came to the lifeless body and stopped.

"Poor man, lets see if there are others in this city, others more fortunate than you."

A faint scream was heard. It became louder, and louder… With an eye brow raised Conrad Farrel turned and searched for the source of the scream. Just then…

WHAM!!

Literally thrown out of the portal that Conrad Farrel submerged from – a green haired girl crashed into Farrel, knocking them both down. With a grunt she rubbed her head, and looked down at the man underneath her…

“Thanks for breaking my fall…” She said with a grin.

“OFF!” Farrel growled.

“Gotcha.” She quickly got up and dusted herself off.

At that moment, a young girl with long light blonde hair calmly walked out of the portal and glanced at Farrel and Burikko, but said nothing.

“Welcome warriors of time.”

Everybody turned their attention to the sky, where a woman of great beauty appeared before them.

“I am Gaia, the Goddess and protector of earth. I have called upon you warriors because the world is in great danger and I am not able to protect it at this time. Since the earth is broken and damaged, I am loosing strength each day.”

“What exactly is it you want us to do?” Burikko asked, raising a brow.

“I will explain how this happened when the other warriors I sent for arrive…” Gaia said calmly.

Collin Dougherty Resident
Unknown Location - The United States of America
August 28th, 2007
1644 Hours
--------------------------------------------------------------

"Ha...Here come the news!" - said Collin.

"Oh boy! Let see how they commend you dad!" - Eve cheered happily.

Collin smirked, turned the volume louder so the entire family could hear it. Right after that the logo of First News Wire channel shown up and the theme music played, followed by the familiar reporter Morris Odell:

"An 8-story apartment building in the surrounding 4-block of Hope Gate, Mary Lane were evacuated today by the national guards. Authority signed a gas leak was the reason of the evacuation...Stressing that today's event has no relation whatsoever to Kombayn Nikoladze or the Georgian Information Crisis...Hope Gate less than half an hour from Downtown of Washington D.C. will....../classified/"

"Since the recovering in confirmed identity of former Georgian president Kombayn Nikoladze's corpse five days ago...Georgia Presidential Palace's guard fatally shot president Nikoladze in the middle to what's appeared to have been...an attempted action of the current president Valamyn Custarvi..."

"Kekeke..." - Collin laughed in silent.

"In the press conference this morning, the US president commended the American people for their courage...

The President had this to say:

We were injured...We stumbled...But we DID NOT FALL! The world knows no terror that American tenacity cannot overcome...The world knows no problem that American cannot solve!..."

"Hehehe..." - Collin laughed again.

"Dad? What so funny?" - asked Eve.

"...so that I want to extend my deepest admiration to every US citizen of the world...To every civilian and every soldier stand firm against the terror and tyranny of that wicked man...

...History will not forget your result...!"

"Ha...ha...hahaha..."

"Your dad is weird...!" - his wife Theresa whispered to Eve.

"REMEMBER: HISTORY...WILL NOT...FORGET...YOUR RESULT!"

"Hahaha...history..."

"Dad...What's going on? You have been laughing since the President expression..." - asked Eve cluelessly.

"Nah...It was nothing really...Forget about it dear!"

Riiiiiiing....

The phone rang...Collin muted the TV and stood up in an attempt to answer the phone.

"Dad...You're not going again are you...?"

"I...I'm not sure yet!" - Answered Collin, then went back to the kitchen and picked up the phone.

"Hello..."

"You have done well, great warrior...!" - Answered by an unfamiliar voice.

"What the...? Who's this...?"

"But your duty isn't over yet...You still have an ultimate battle ahead against the pure evil that will overwhelm the Earth in the future...!"

"Who're you? What do you want from me?"

"Instead of telling you, I'll show you...right now...!"

A large portal appeared and covered Collin. When it faded, Collin was nowhere to be found...

"Dad...? He's gone again...?"

((OOC: Just to make sure you all know, the parenthesis would be Noah talking, and the brackets would be Pyro. When Pyro takes over, it switches))

Noah had put on his good suit, he had a job interview, and he was hoping for the best. His black suit was without a doubt his favorite, the red dress shirt under it was silk and the black tie he wore made it all come together. He held a pack on his back with his normal clothes, his jacket, his jeans, shirt, gloves, and several packs of scrunchies to pull his hair back if needed. God knew he lost them faster then he could use them. As he walked people stared, he was mildly known as the local 'crazy' given his... Condition...

He stepped forwards up onto the steps of the office building that he was supposed to be interviewed at, and as his foot pressed against the marble stairs leading up to the tremendous sky scraper his mind went off with alarms.

[You seem very tense Noah] the voice in his mind said.

"You stay quiet Pyro..." Noah growled at him. "I need this, this is important, otherwise we won't be living in anywhere near a nice apartment anymore."

[I can fix that]

"No you will not..." The fight for Noah's mind began, and he struggled viciously to maintain control. Pyro was a strong willed man, Noah, while passive, knew he had to do something and got it done. Pyro was a dreamer, a complete opposite. He knew he had to get something done, but would much rather forsake it and attempt the impossible.

To those around him Noah looked like he was spazzing out slightly, his body shaking and his eyes shut tight, though he did not fall. This battle was a particularly short one as Noah pushed Pyro back to the recesses of his mind and sighed.

[You fight well today]

"A lot rides on it"

[Then why not let your better half join in?]

"You may be my half, but there is nothing about you that's better."

[You don't realize, you are not... Confrontational... As you could put it. How about letting me do the talking. You know i'm better at it then you]

"You may be better, but you know I don't trust you. Or do I need to bring up the seven dead prostitutes incident again?"

[You're STILL going on about that?]

"Keep giving me reasons Pyro, I dare you"

[Wow, looks like you finally grew a pair of balls]

Noah continued up the steps and finally made it into the building. There he knew he would have to struggle to keep his posture and make it seem like he was not that crazy at all. They would need to know about his "schizophrenia" but of course they would not need to know of the powers it held over him.

Hours seemed to fly by until he finally met with the 'head honcho' of the building. His name was James Vanderkamp and he was a round man. Boring, very boring. As Noah stepped up to shake his hand, something came over him. Pyro was tricky, he gave up before to take over now... And he won.

"Mr. Price, let me tell you now I was very interested in your resume. I would like to ask on thing first... What is this condition of yours?"

"Well let me show you..." With that Pyro's hand burst into flames, the heat instantly setting off the change in the room.

----Hours Later-----

"What happened?"

[Looks like the police didn't like that stunt I pulled]

"PYRO! YOU DIDN'T!"

[Yes... Yes I did]

"You mother fucker... I cannot believe you. How am I supposed to pay the rent now?"

[I think you should worry more about the large swirling white vortex where the computer used to be]

Huh? Noah turned and looked, only to see an entire wall where he used to keep his video games contorted into a large white portal of some sort.

[This sucks... I wanted to play Wii]

"Shut your mouth Pyro." Noah ran to the other room, grabbed his sword and sheath and buckled it around his waist. He was completely unaware he still wore his suit, but he was aware the clothes in his pack could be there to change into if he needed it. "What the fuck is going on?"

"You're needed hero." A voice rang. Noah jumped backwards drawing the blade from it's sheath. "Come, all will be explained in time." Noah felt like he could trust the strange voice, and even the portal. He placed the sword back into it's sheath and then stepped forwards.

[Don't do it, opt for the Wii!]

"I said, shut your fucking mouth Pyro."

[I liked it better when you didn't have any balls]

Noah stepped through the portal, awaiting to see what would lay before him on the other side.

Bang · Posted: Mon Sep 17, 2007 5:10 pm Post subject:

The portal re-opened, and out came two men. A man who appeared to be in his early 40’s and a younger looking man with a suit and a sword. They walked out of the portal and looked around with confusion.

“Hey! How I was THROWN out of the portal while everybody else-”

“That’s not important right now.” Gaia interrupted Burikko.

Gaia then went silent for a moment or two, staring at the opened portal as if she was waiting for somebody else.

“Where is Anarkos Goldreaver…” She whispered to herself. Another moment went by until she looked down, closed her eyes and sighed. He must have declined the portal entry…

“So um…” Burikko rubbed the back of her head. “If it’s alright with you, I think I need to go back home. I have school in a few hours.”

Gaia turned to Burikko, and looked down at her with such… sorrow and anger. Burikko raised a brow and slowly scooted over to the closest/toughest looking person (which happened to be Farrel) and clung to his arm.

Gaia slowly floated down from the sky to solid ground, as soon as her feet touched the soil, tiny flowers and plants began to bloom, but sadly, after only a moment, they would die. Since Gaia got her strength from the earth, and the earth was in poor condition… well, she was worthless, pretty much.

“For those who just arrived, I am Gaia, The Goddess of earth… I have called upon you, heroes of the past, for help. The year is 3666, and as you can tell,” She paused to extend her hand out towards the destroyed city… “All hell has broke loose. Hades God of the underworld, has escaped and is plotting to take over the surface world. He has turned most of the human race into his own demon slaves.”

“Tough brake.” Burikko said, tilting her head to the side as she crossed her arms.

“That’s not even half of the situation. You see, Hades has sent out five powerful demons to make sure that nobody will stop him. These five demons are not only powerful, but very smart. Each one has a different and unique power. I am too weak to fight them… and that is why you warriors are here.”

She sighed and rested herself on a rock.

“Burikko… Diva… Conrad Farrel… Collin Dougherty… Noah Price… If you do not want to fight, then leave now.” She waved her hand as a second portal opened before them.

“For the rest of you, if you choose to accept my plea… I will grant you one wish when Hades is defeated.”

She reached up and pulled off one of the necklaces on her neck and stood up and gave it to Farrel. “This charm will warn you when one of the five demons are near. Keep it close. I must go and rest…”

Gaia disappeared, without another word, and left everybody in awe…

“Hmm… That was… bleak…” Burikko peered over Ferral’s shoulder and took a look at the necklace. “Its pretty. Are you gonna wear that?” She asked, wanting to try it on…

((The roleplay can now begin! Post until your poster is sore!))

Farrel looked at the necklace that was given to him.

"No."

With that, he tossed the necklace to the ground. The girl behind him watched it fall as he broke free from her grasp. He smirked coldly.

"I don't need trinkets to find demons."

He began to walk away from the group when the ground began to shake. The intersection of the now broken street that they had been on rumbled loudly.

"This is quite an unpleasant tune." the youngest looking of the group stated blankly.

Suddenly, a great cloud of smoke burst through the ground with tremendous force. Whatever came through was too clouded for anyone to make its description. But that was unimportant at the instant because rubble and cars were sent into the air and would fall on the group's location. Everybody minus Farrel, ran for cover, avoiding the debris in one way or another. Farrel stood silently as a car came flying towards him. Burriko was going to scream for him to get out of the way when he shot up his hands and stopped the car in midair. Immediately after he did so he shot the car towards a giant rock that was flying for Burriko, hitting it and sending them both out of the way.

After the debris stopped falling the dust had cleared from the hole and the group could see what had arisen....

It looked to be a demon that was mixed between a tiger, a snake, and a bird. It had large golden and crimson eyes, and large sharp teeth. It growled angrily, holding a piece of the car in it's jaws.

"Hehe...looks like we have a new friend." Farrel mused, a slight smirk in his features.

"I want to play with him..." Diva spoke out softly, and Burikko looked at her confused, and also a bit freaked out that a large beastly like thing was trying to eat them, and this kid wanted to PLAY with it!

"...Ermm...kid...that's not a normal kitty cat-" she started to say.

"I want to play tag. I'll be demon." Diva said, as if not listening. She then closed her eyes and started singing, her voice so high and clear everyone's eyes widened, even if it was just slightly.

"This child....is not normal..." Noah muttered as the creature began to sway back and forth, as if in a trance. Diva then stopped singing and in a split second, was up into the creature's face and she ripped it's arm off. The creature screamed with pain as Diva turned quietly around, a little blood on her clothes and skin.

"I'm bored now, I don't want to play with him anymore. He ruined my dress." she said softly with childish soft eyes.

Pyro · Joined: 04 Jun 2005 Posts: 1375 Location: The Bear's Den

Noah stood there completely in awe of this small child. Everything was spiraling past his control so fast he sat down and just shook his head, the entire group looking his way. Awe-struck he simply stared off at the ground with his mouth hanging open. These powers are amazing... How do I fit in here?

[Because you have me]

Leave me be Pyro...

[It is time I got to play]

The battle ensued and in a matter of seconds, Noah lost. As the demon flailed viciously and angrily growling and roaring at it's loss of limb from the little girl who somehow had such an amazing power. The group watched Noah completely unaware of the change circling his head. Hair fell over his eyes as his face seemingly contorted from awe-struck to completely and utterly insane. His dropped jaw lifted itself closed as a smirk ripped across the once innocent face of Noah.

"Um... Is he OK?" Burriko asked looking around.

"Noah?" Diva asked more curious then worried.

"Is this normal for him?" Farrel questioned.

"How would I know? We all just met him five minutes ago." Collin stated.

[Pyro, watch them....]

If they get in my way it's their own problem

[Pyro.. I swear I will kill you]

We're stuck together, you know such threats mean nothing

[One day I swear I'll kill you..]

Pyro, now in control, stood and reached into the bag behind him. He drew the fingerless gloves he used for his pyrokinesis, pulling them on tightly and smiling widely. He held out his hand as a fireball burst to life and with a smile Pyro flipped his hair backwards.

"Whoa..." Burriko said.

"WOW!" Diva said bemused.

"So, you're a pyrokinetic?" Farrel asked.

"Half of us, at least." Pyro said in Noah's voice before he ran forwards, the fireball growing viciously large and the color changing to a light blue. The bizzare demon screeched, rearing back as if to attack. It's only remaining arm swung downwards as Pyro stopped on a dime, rolling to the right and jumping upwards. The fist set ablaze landed directly into the chin (or what would be constituted as a chin) of the beast as it fell backwards clawing at the now burned area on it's face. Pyro landed, and walked back towards the group, the same wicked smirk on his face as he picked up his sword and slid it into the sheath by his side.

"That was impressive Noah." Farrel admitted.

"Name's Pyro," Pyro snickered. "Noah's currently... Absent."

Bang · Posted: Wed Sep 19, 2007 5:15 pm Post subject:

Burikko stared at Noah… erm, Pyro! Wait, was it Pyro? Or was it… ARRGGHH! This was all happening to quickly!! Everything! The explanation on why she was here, the option to go back home, the weird messed up future that was supposedly doomed due to demons! Burikko took a moment to glance down at the necklace Gaia had given to Conrad Ferral. It wasn’t doing anything…

“Hmm, that means this demon isn’t one of the five demons Gaia was talking about…” Burikko said to herself.

She picked up the necklace, looked over to Diva, and threw it to her. She smiled. She made her decision. She was going to stay, not for the wish that was promised to her… but because she had a math test, and she TOTALLY didn’t study. At that time… the portal slowly began to close. But Burikko was no longer paying attention, she wanted to defeat this demon and get to the REAL threat as soon as possible! She grinned as she clutched her fists…

“Haeru Emerarudoguri-n Kitsune!!!!” She shouted randomly. (Even though she doesn’t need to speak Japanese to transform… she just wanted to show off.)

All of a sudden… Burikko began to morph into some sort of… creature. Fur sprouted, teeth grew… When the transformation was complete, in Burikko’s place was a shining emerald green fox. The shining green fox snarled at the demon, and opened her mouth wide as a great white ki blast formed in her jaw and shot it at the demon! It connected, and sent it sliding back into a pile of rubble.

“HA-HA!” The fox said, but its lips did not move.

But the demon was not amused… It growled, emerged from the rubble and charged at Burikko, the shining emerald green fox. She jumped a little as a ‘sweatdrop’ appeared beside her head. She thought quickly…

“I know!”

She grinned as she narrowed her eyes… Suddenly, she began to grow… and grow… and grow… until she was towering over the demon!! The demon suddenly stopped in his tracks… looked up at Burikko, and blinked. His tail went between his legs…

“Not to hot now, are you evil demon?!” Burikko spoke in a hero like voice. She raised her paw and batted the demon towards one of her ‘team mates’ to finish the job...

Pyro · Joined: 04 Jun 2005 Posts: 1375 Location: The Bear's Den

Pyro strutted over to the bag lying on the ground, then looking down at himself and letting out a large laugh.

"Why, Noah does have an impecable taste in clothing doesn't he?" Everybody stared at Pyro as he shed the suit jacket and threw it onto a large hunk of debris. "What? He likes suits... It's weird, normal people don't like wearing suits!"

"Why are you talking about yourself in the third person? And as a different name?" Burriko questioned.

"Because, this isn't the one from before," Diva protested. "this one is much different."

"Wow, go little girl." Pyro placed a hand on her cheek and brushed a strand of hair from her eyes. "I like you, I like kids.. Hmm... That's strange, didn't know that before.." He shook it off like it was nothing, and pulled the tie loose before throwing it on the ground. "Come on, if I were going to wear a tie I'd AT LEAST tie a double windsor knot! Come on Noah, what were you thinking?"

He slid the dress shirt over his head, dropping it to the ground before undoing the buckle and dropping his pants. He stepped out of them, ripping the dress shoes from their place and putting all of it into the bag. He stood there, in his red and white plaid boxers before he realized there were other people around. They looked and as Pyro looked around at the people before him he grabbed his stuff and walked behind a piece of fallen debris.

Upon finishing changing he walked out from behind the boulder and gave himself a once over. He enjoyed what he saw, from the jacket he had rolled up, to the muscle shirt that showed his abs, to his converse sneakers, he enjoyed his look and refused to change it.

"Remember everything this time?" Burriko laughed.

"Yeah, sorry you won't be checkin' out my package this time around," Pyro smiled.

"WHAT? I... I wasn't... What are you talking about?" Her face blurred a scarlet color as Pyro laughed wickedly.

"I like you," Diva smiled. "You're fun."

"Man, this mission is gonna be a BLAST." Pyro said, conjuring a small fireball and rolling it across his knuckles. "So, where to next darlin'?"

Bang · Posted: Fri Sep 21, 2007 4:29 pm Post subject:

Burikko sighed as she returned to her normal human form and looked away from Pryo. It was obvious his ego was bigger then his head and she wanted nothing to do with it. The demon that she had smacked across the ‘battle field’ earlier was no where to be seen. She growled. Fucking demon must have run for it, and if this future is anything like the movies… the demon would return… with friends.

“What’s your problem, Burrito?” Pyro asked, tilting his head to the side.

“IT’S BURIKKO!!!” She shouted. “And YOU’RE problem!! You let the demon get away!”

“Me?!” Pryo gasped, almost offended. “YOU’RE the one who let him get away! You touched him last!”

Burikko and Pyro got nose to nose as they growled at each other… Just then, Conrad Ferral got between them and pushed them away from one another.

“Knock it off!” He roared. “We’re not here to fight each other; we’re here to fight the demons…! You’re wasting each others valuable time, but most importantly… you’re wasting my time by just standing here and playing the blame game. SHAPE UP!”

Burikko looked at Conrad Ferral with wide eyes, then sighed, and rubbed the back of her head.

“Your right…” She spoke softly, and then looked back to Pyro. “Sorry.” She said super quick, and then walked off.

“Diva, is that stupid necklace doing anything yet?” Conrad Ferral asked.

Diva looked down at the necklace Burikko had thrown to her earlier. She still had it in her hands. She watched it for a moment, then shook her head.

“Then lets walk.” Ferral said. “When the sun sets, I have a feeling it’s going to be hell, so we should find some sort of shelter just in case that happens…”

So the group walked...

"I want to play." Diva muttered after a while of walking.

"Well then run around or something." Ferral snapped, getting tired of this child, no matter how powerful she could be. Pyro sighed and ruffled the girl's hair.

"How about as soon as we get to an inn, we'll play, alright?" he asked, and Diva immediately smiled big and nodded. "Yay!"

Later, they reached not a motel, but a hotel...

"......Anyone here have a little money at least?" Burriko asked, showing she had empty pockets. Pyro checked his pockets.

"...I have 100 bucks and a credit card.." he mumbled. Ferral showed he had 20 bucks. Diva looked at them, confused.

"....What is money?" she asked innocently, and the others looked at her bewildered.

"What the hell kid, were you locked up in a room most of your life?" Pyro said in a light joking way, but then tensed when Diva's head snapped up at him, her eyes glowing a light blue...she was angry.

"E-Errr I mean..." Pyro stammered, before Burriko came up to Diva cautiously.

"H-Hey now, he was only kidding..." she said, and Diva looked down, her eyes returning to normal, and she walked, almost skipped away into the hotel building.

"...Weird kid..." Burriko mumbled.

".....I wonder....if what I said...was the truth..." Pyro mumbled slightly, looking at the young child as she looked at the flowers in the vase...and making one rose wilt.

Burikko ran up beside Diva and patted her shoulder.

“Hey kiddo. As soon as we get a room, you want to play hide and seek?”

Diva looked up and did something with her lips. Burikko could only guess she was smiling.

“Do you mean it?”

“Sure!” Burikko said, grinning a bit.

She knew what it was like to be alone. All her life she only had a few friends, and on the night she discovered her Lycan powers, she became distant with her friends. Even though they were the same age as she was, they were maturing much faster. Wanting to wear make up, wanting to get boyfriends and designer clothes… But all Burikko was worried about was what was for lunch that day. She knew what it was like not to have any friends… However, she didn’t know what it was like to be locked in her room like Diva was. Or at least… that was the theory.

As the group got closer to the motel, they now realized what a dump it was. Windows broken, walls missing… But then again, it wasn’t any different from any other building. Like Gaia said, everything was damaged and destroyed during the time Hades released his demons on the earth.

“Well, at least it’s still standing.” Ferral said.

All of them entered the motel building, and walked up to the front desk. Burikko stupidly rang the bell, and looked around.

“’Ello? How about some service, aye?”

Ferral and Pyro looked at each other then shook their heads. The place was obviously abandoned. Ferral took a random key from behind the desk, and looked at his watch.

“It’s 6:00pm… The sun will set in another hour, we better hurry.”

And so off they went. They climbed the stairs to the top floor of the 10-story building. Ferral insisted they stay on the top floor so they could at least have some sort of warning if a demon tried to get in. Diva got tired, and Pyro picked her up and carried her. Burikko- on the other hand… jumped on Ferrals back and grinned.

“Carry me?” She asked, batting her eyes.

Ferral growled as he looked away from Burikko, as his eye began to twitch.

“Easy Ferral…” He thought to himself. “They all will get what’s coming to them when the time is right…”

Finally… They made it to the top floor, Pyro went to unlock the motel door with the key, but by that time Ferral had became so impatient that he simply kicked the door down and shook Burikko off. Burikko fell to the floor, but quickly got back up and gasped at the sight of the room.

“WOW! This room is HUGE! Things are a lot different in the future… HEY LOOK!” She ran to a fridge and opened it. “Sweet! Look at all this food…”

“Don’t eat to much, Burikko… That might be our only source of food for awhile.”

“Hm? What didya say?” Burikko asked, turning around with a chicken leg hanging from her mouth.
