"You are going to be in so much trouble." Not even kidding.
"I don't know. I haven't really been allowed in." !Rose shrugged.

-!Armok was in his room, staring at his bed where Hikari was recovering. The night of Tsuki's escape had brought out a dark side of !Armok, as was shown by the mottled bruises covering most of Hikari's body. Put simply... he had made her truly regret letting Tsuki escape- Heal faster, you inept bitch. -The doors to !Armok's chambers were flung open, and a man with dangerous eyes entered. He studied the room and spit, a smirk on his face-
---
Father. -The man took off his cloak and sprawled lazily on !Armok's throne- I see you have forgotten to bathe again. And you've done a number to the demoness again as well. Mature of you.

Dx My poor baby. The things I let Garrett do to you! Hikari didn't cry nor did she make any sound. Her hands clung tightly to the sheets. Her body was worthless and she was so tired. Everything hurt even worse.

!Kane rubbed his chin with his gloved hand. "Sora is working on solidifying his abilities, !Rose... I don't know how much longer we could wait for whatever it is that is supposed to happen to actually occur. We must get them out of here before they wreck our future before they have a chance to even fix theirs."
Z smiled. "I know... I'm not afraid... what's the worst they could do to me, Lianne?" Good point... They could yell at him all they want sounding like Alvin and the chipmunks.

-!Armok growled, then folded his arms across his powerful chest- Erebus. What do you want?
---
-Erebus quirked an eyebrow at !Armok, then shrugged. He pulled !Soulreaver off of his shoulder, then set the blade beside the throne. He walked over to Hikari, tucking a strand of loose, dirty hair behind her ear- Go clean yourself. I'll deal with her. She'll heal faster if she doesn't die of an infection. -He sneered as !Armok shivered in fury; once he left the room, Erebus dropped the sneer and looked down at Hikari with a bit of real compassion- You must have really irked him this time... -He started pulling off the remnants of Hikari's filthy, bloody clothing-

She flinched. There would have been more of a reaction, but the demon couldn't move. It hurt when he started aiding her. "Why are you helping me?" she asked. Hikari didn't know who this kid was. It was hard for her to see anyway. One eye was swollen shut.

"There's not much any of us can really do !Kane. Only Sora has the ability to send them back. I wish the AFR of their time would put some time into figuring something out as well" YOU KNOW INSTEAD OF DRINKING AND MOPING. YEAH. WENT THERE.
Lianne made a face. "Oh I don't know, kill you?"

-Erebus narrowed his eyes, then stepped back. !Dragon Fang appeared in his hand, dagger form. He studied her stomach, searching for the scar that would symbolize his birth... and didn't find it- ... So the reports were true. There are duplicates here... interesting. -He let !Dragon Fang fade into shadows once more, looking around the room warily- What have you done with my mother, creature? Think carefully... I will make anything he did feel pleasant.

She flinched again, bringing her arm up to protect her head. Hikari paused when she realized that he didn't stab her and the dagger was gone. Her eyes tried to adjust. She still could not see out of one. Shifting slowly, Hikari looked at him closely. The features, his eyes. She gasped. How could she not have found this information out?! "...I..." She closed her violet eyes. "I don't think you would harm me even if I told you the truth." She looked at him again, closely. "She allowed herself to be taken in my place for your sister."

(AFR's hardly drinking or Moping at the moment, thank you <<.)
Z blinked. "They need me alive for Hayley... don't they..." His luck they probably have a petri dish labeled "Z's sperm in case he fucks up." in a cryogenic tube somewhere. "God damn it... they probably have thought of that." Pondering. . . . . "There's still about 5 minutes..." He looked back.
!Kane nodded. "Well... the length of our abilities lies in bringing back their Hikari... less she goes mad and joins him again we will be right back where we started with a disadvantage... if that was even possible. Let their AFR and Dominic build to the best of their abilities... and Would you like to work with Sora?" He walked rather sluggish.

... -Erebus whistled, and two guards walked into the room- Get me medical supplies. Now. -The guards eyed one another, then one shook his head--- until Erebus cut it in half. !Dragon Fang had appeared in his hand mid-swing- Before you argue, soldier--- This will be my empire soon. Don't forget that, and you will live many days beyond this fool. -Shadowfyre was already consuming the first guard's corpse- ... Go. -The soldier ran out of the room, shouting orders. Within no time, Erebus was sponge bathing Hikari, then bandaging and treating her injuries-

"She's not as powerful as her future self. So we may stand a chance. If not, we'll kill her. Simple as that." !Rose sighed. God she hated how many people she had to keep track of now. "I know nothing about time travel, !Kane. I couldn't help him in any way."
Lianne kinda made a face. "One less sick kid to look after." She shook her head after a moment. "I say you blame it on your future self."

She watched him the best she could, moving as little as possible. Her eyes closed slowly. Many of her injuries were healed over, just bruises remained. She breathed slowly due to a cracked rib. There would be no healing that. Just time. Her eyes opened slowly, the swelling in the closed eye down enough. She stared off into nothing. "Why do you help me when I am not the same woman who birthed you?" She felt stupid now for not knowing this.

-Erebus smiled grimly- Because I don't want you to ever be the creature that birthed me. -He ran a hand over her rib, then whistled again. Scared guard walked in, dragging a captive by a shock collar. The Aldrian look starved and terrified- You will heal her rib... and if you don't, I'll feed you. Your children. -He smiled coldly... and the Aldrian healed Hikari's rib. The guard and Aldrian then left the chambers, closing the doors behind them- Quite frankly, my father's time is up... he is no longer worthy of the throne of Darkmoor. It has gone from a grand, noble crusade into a matter of ego and hubris. He no longer wishes to help the countries that cannot help themselves... he wants all of the world. -Erebus' eyes gleamed- I want the world too, do not mistake me... But I am more clever than my father is, maybe more than he has ever been. There can be no peace with this Resistance still fighting us... and we cannot kill them all. Trust me on this, I have tried.

Hikari watched him as he spoke. She breathed a lot easier once the rib was healed. Taking in a deep breath, she shifted. Her eyes rested on his. "So you wish to seek peace or do you wish to take his path and control it all under an iron fist?" Her body was so tired. Blinking slowly, Hikari bit her lip. "But I am afraid there is not much in this world that keeps me from being the woman that you knew." It was a sad realization, but Hikari knew the reasons enough as to why madness took her.

!Kane continued to keep in her stride... "Very well... I will help Sora... I don't mind it... in the mean time... what will you do?" He looked to her again. "Could we keep them on lock down watch?" !Kane wasn't happy with all of this time manipulating in his head... their actions were messing up everything he did. "The longer they stay here, Rose... the faster our times are ticking away... I didn't notice it before, but their presence is drawing us all into a similar outcome as we stand here."
Z stopped and looked to her... a bit saddened "Don't say that..." Anyways... Z was back in the office in no time flat... got all 3 canisters... and walked out with them... "Alright... just gotta get rid of these..." Looked left... looked right... great ><. "Awesome..." He hurried past her to where he thought there was a garbage can... all full.

-Erebus frowned- Don't speak such... it worries me. I have few issues with ending your life now, not-mother. -He almost smiled, but shook his head instead- I will rule with an iron fist... but only to maintain the peace and tranquility the Shadow Clan is supposed to bestow upon the world. This stranglehold of assimilation or eradication would not be my policy... that policy makes insult and injury fester, and boil over into Resistance. -Erebus wiped the crusted blood from her no-longer swollen eye, then dropped the sponge in its bucket. The water was dark from the dried blood he had cleaned from her-

"Do what I usually do, !Kane. Work on trying to end this god forsaken empire !Armok has created." She glanced over at him. "I've tried. Trust me. But if they want out, they'll get out." Which was irritating. "We can't really change that, dear. They're going to do what they want."
"I'm not saying it like I don't care. Don't misunderstand me. But you don't know if they think like that." She sighed quietly and nodded her head, watching him. "Shove it to the bottom" Shrug.

"If you end my life, you end yours as well." Hikari eyed him closely before she shut her eyes for him to clean her swollen one. She flinched, of course. "You would have to let the world take back what it had. This is no way for people to live. When I became his second in command, he asked me to help keep him human. I fear that I may not be able to stop this future." She finally sat up, her body healed enough so it wouldn't be too painful. Blood was crusted into her jet black hair. It was hard to see, but the black blood stained even the sheets. "But, I would aid you with whatever plan you seek. That bastard took away my daughter and I want him to pay." She glared into the darkness.

... -Erebus chuckled- Logically, I suppose that makes sense. Time and space and whatnot. I was hoping you were simply some sort of clone. -He stood, offering her his hand- I'd give this world back what it could handle. No more. Some of these countries have gained so much because of what !Armok has done. Others... have lost too much. Let us speak somewhere that will haunt you less. I grow weary of his shadows whispering in my ears. Foul aberrations he has made them into.
