Everflame 2 (FINISHED)

[Chrono Blackwyng]

Chronin's jaw dropped at the mention of 'meet the parents', and so many scenarios of what could go wrong if he suddenly walked in Gran's house with Tabby holding onto him. He could also hear Auntie yelling at him for getting emotionally involved with a mercenary, whos not even of the same species. However, all of this failed to affect the outcome of the life-changing sentence he was going to say:"Uh... ok!" he said with a slight smile before gnashing apart the last piece of bone and paying the meal and giving Piyo her a 50% tip for the meal.

He led Tabby to the house on foot, and occasionally picked her up when she started to complain about walking only to set her back down after the next two blocks. When they reached the house, Chrono opened his mouth and hooked his talons under his tongue to lightly pull up the pouch he had made just for holding the key to Gran's house. That pouch was probably the only surgery he ever had, and it didn't change his appearance in the slightest as he dragged the key out and wiped the saliva on the inside of his jacket before unlocking the door and walking in with Tabby. "Gran, I'm home~" he announced before closing the door behind Tabby and locking it before going through the house...

Letting out a bored yawn a feline inside the capital sphere, walked through one of the labratories dressed in a lab coat and a bowtie. He kept a mental note of his surroundings as he read a document on the clipboard he was holding untill he noticed a long yellow line along a pipe with warnings on it. He began to read them out boredly "Caution, Lasers! Caution, Lasers! Caution, Lasers! What could it mean?!" giveing his head a few shakes before walking through a door droping the clipboard on his desk and headed back out the door to get changed and leave the facility.

Annie snoozed against the wall, Blaze's head against her shoulder. He snuffled in his sleep, rolling over onto his other side... For a moment it seemed Annie was going to wake as well, eyes fluttering open, before she yawned widely and continued to sleep. Her long ponytail lay across one shoulder, and several strands of her dark hair fell over her smooth forehead.

When Chronin gave Piyo the tip, she stared in astonishment at the amount, and barely managed a wave when they left. Tabby looked at him with incredulous laughter, until she got distracted or just wanted him to carry her.

When he opened the door, she peered inside at a soft front room, overflowing with strange little items accumulated over the years. There were brightly coloured feathers, a collection of strange old rocks, a slice of a tree and a mountain of books filling a good third of the walls in bookcases. She stepped inside and looked around, examining all the little trinkets while Chronin closed the door. In the top corner of the room, she could see a little light with the word JAsoN written beside it. Then a controlled male voice emanated out of the wall.
"Welcome home Chronin." It was the AI Chronin had designed to keep his Gran company while everyone else worked. "Your grandmother is in the living room"
"Who is it, Jason?," a small, raspy and high pitched old voice came from the room down the hall, which was lit up by flickering lights and sounds of exciting gunfights set to rough music.. There were mumbles between her and Jason, until she called out again.
"Aww welcome home kid! Jason tells me you've brought a friend."





Reggie watched them sleep before taking his chance and creeping into the medbay, over to Jaack. He switched on a little desk lamp to see his face and wished he hadnt. The rabbit looked worse every second. Reggie looked away, and crouched down, leaning back against the worktop. He looked up, and the lamplight was getting in his eyes, so with a little reach, he blindly fumbled for the switch. When  he found it, and pressed it down, it made a strong and satisfying click, and covered the room dark again. He moved his hand back to his side, but caught the wire with his finger, pulling it with him. It thudded into his head and clattered against the floor. Reggie tensed up, trying his hardest not to make a sound.

[Entaru]

Nero smirked as he looked up at the official. "Simple enough...Nero, non-existant, a black hole."  Nero pulled back his cowl, revealing his whole face, and laughed a bit

[Asia Kali Yusufzai]

The official looked at his communicator.
"Did you hear that?"
"Yes I did," Kateri replied. "Let me talk to him."
"Yes ma'am." The official nodded and pointed the communicator towards Nero as Kateri's voice emanated from it.
"Okay, we'll go along with that. Why are you here?"

[KittKat chunky~]

As the lamp hit the floor another click echoed in the small med-bay. Annie sat bolt-upright on the bed, pistol aimed at the dark silhouette of Reggie. A single red dot played across his chest, the finger tensed on the trigger already relaxing its grip "Reg?"  The question was hazy, sleep filled words that slurred, as Annie rubbed at her eye with a clenched fist.
 Beside her Blaze snored loudly, turning over and continued to sleep. Annie dropped the pistol to her side, red dot now wavering on the steel floor. She looked up at Reggie in the darkness, glad he could not see her blush "I just...Kinda on edge..."

[Chrono Blackwyng]

Chronin walked in the room and refrained from shouting at her for how the room is lit. "This is like, the fifth time this week Gran, you're the only fox I know that doesn't need glasses, please don't mess that up for just another action movie." Tabby looked at him and tried to keep her laughter in check as Chronin turned on the lights, and then got hit in the back of a head with a flat-shoe thrown by Gran. "Before you smack me with your cane again for touching the lights... I should probably introduce you to my friend Tabby."

[Asia Kali Yusufzai]

Reggie stared at the gun pointed at him, until Annie put it down, letting him breathe.
"Sorry Annie," he whispered."I just wanted to check up on... you know." He gestured up to Jaack, then wrung his hands for a little while. "Can we talk outside, so we don't have to whisper?"





Tabby leaned her head through the doorway, and saw the little old vixen shaking as she slowly pushed herself up off her chair.
"Hello," Tabby said. The vixen froze and she tilted her head, examining Tabby.
"I've seen you before. You're not famous, are you? Because I'm sure I've seen you on TV or something." Tabby looked to the carpeted floor and scratched her head.
"No you're probably mistaken. I get this all the time. I have a very average face."
"No you don't," said the old vixen. Then a cold smile spread across her face. "I know who you are." Tabby reached and grabbed Chronin's hand, moving close against him.
"I'm dating your grandson!" she blurted, her voice strung with nerves. The old vixen looked to her grandson.
"Are you now?" she said, and pressed her hands together.

[Chrono Blackwyng]

Chronin just stood there like a doe staring at a pick-up just before it runs her over. "Um... yes... yes I am" He regretted adding a personality to the AI since it left the room to go let out its laughter. "Um, Tabby, could you wait upstairs, I have a question to ask Gran that you would be better off not hearing..." he said in an attempt to not only change the subject, but not get a lecture or beating from from 'Granny Vix', the name he used to call her when he was just a civilian. It was obvious how the conversation affected him since his hair hung so loosely, it looked like it would fall out at any moment.

Tabby was pouting for a few moments, but Chronin's pleading eyes won and she sighed before walking upstairs in faux shame. Chronin then made his way to Gran and sat on his knees in front of her, and tried to work up the nerve to ask her what Aunt Kateri told him. "Auntie said: "Something is happening", and that you wouldn't make it... please don't keep me in the dark Gran, if Aunt Kateri was worried when she told me this then I need to know since I'm taking Aunt's place on the front-line!"

[Asia Kali Yusufzai]

Vix looked up to the ceiling, where just above, Tabby was sitting on Chronin's bed.
"Maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea to tell her about this too. But I'll let you do that if and when the time comes." She sighed and her face seemed tired and lost. "I don't know any specifics, I just know that lately I've felt something in the wind" She looked at her grandson, and chewed on her ideas to find a way to explain it. "I just know that something will happen soon. It's like... a connection will occur and I wont be here anymore. I'm guessing it means I'll be dead, but also, something else is coming. An energy. It might already be here, and it will change everything." She sighed and rubbed her eyes. "You can't be careful about this because you can't even begin to think of how to stop it. The best you can do is help your Aunt. Do what she says because if anyone has a plan to at least hold this back for as long as possible, it's her."

[Chrono Blackwyng]

Chronin sighed when she said 'help your Aunt', which reminded him of how he probably hampered her by putting her calls on hold, but then remembered he was going to be on some kind of "Project Dragonfly" as a Special Ops. "Hopefully, I can get Tabby out of my room before she gets any ideas. Unless you had my room sound-proofed..." the last part he half mumbled as his hair actually curled inwardly at the thought.

That was when JasON finally re-appeared and informed him. "Sir, Miss Vix had long since sound-proofed your room during your snoring episode; and Miss Tabby is expecting you." Chronin was worried that she probably asked JasON the same thing, and what Gran would ask how long they had been dating. He took his chances and quickly went upstairs to his room, and opened and entered the room before closing the door again.

[Entaru]

Nero laughed and spoke into the communicator.  "I believe two friends of mine have already informed you about my purpose.  But if that isn't enough, may I suggest you turn on the News.  I have a feeling that what you want to know will be broadcasting from Earth.  Though I'd suggest keeping a bucket near, Miss Kateri...one of your assistants has a weak stomach."

[tangletail]

Now fully dressed leaveing the facility to walk around the Capital Sphere aimlessly wandering what to do out of boredom. He was hopeing for something intresting to happen as he checked in with security getting his gun back, putting it away. "What to do... what to do..." He chanted to himself as he casualy walked to the transit station. He sat down on a nearby bench slouching a bit letting his head roll back after adjusting his glasses.

[Rasu]

Yu-Razul awoke from his afternoon nap, he let out a long heavy yawn as he stretched. He stood looking out his houses window, far across the desert world he seemed trapped upon. He let out a slight sigh and grabbed his rifle. He through it over his shoulder and began to prepare himself for a long night. He feared there may be smugglers and merc's gathering on the platue to the south, if so he'd have to 'catch' them if need be. He threw on his trench coat which perfectly covered his wings, with a smilght grimace he began the walk into the harsh desert ready for anything it could throw at him.

As he traveled down the road he could here the desert windblowing, a storm seemed to be approaching. Yu-Razul made a sudden turn, ducked down and had his pistol in his hand. Only dust swarmed behind him, he felt like something was off, as if something was just off in the horrizon. He stood back up and continued on his journey to the platue, there he knew something big was hapening.
