The Price of Revenge: A Bloodstained History {closed temp}

[Shadow Dragon]

A gentle sigh escaped Brandon as he watches the dragons disappear in the sky.

"With them on our side, I'd say we're evenly matched with Archion's clan now," said Tristan.

"Possibly," replied Zali, "but I wouldn't guarantee things just yet."

"So now what?" questioned Brian.

[ganondorf2]

"Archion?" Kain asked, "Wait...that name sounds familiar...unless I'm wrong."

"How so?" I asked.

"...Nothing. I'm thinking about something else."

Nova tries to tell if he was lying, but this time he couldn't tell."

[Shadow Dragon]

"Kain, far be it for me to tell you what to do," Brandon told him, sensing his lie but didn't say anything of it, "but if you know anything at all, please inform us. It could be useful."

[ganondorf2]

Then he snapped to attention and said, "I got nothing. I was thinking of someone else though he goes by Archie."

Ok, Ganondorf didn't sense a lie there so he said nothing about it.

"Guess you're off the hook then," Ayden moaned about the clone.

"Can't say I'm mad about it," he said, "You went by witness sightings."

[Shadow Dragon]

"Isn't that a good thing?" asked Brian.

"Sometimes said 'witnesses' aren't that reliable," replied Ed to Brian, "I go by whatever I see with my own eyes, depending on what it is, anyway."

"And sometimes even your own eyes can betray you," Brandon warned, "thus the need for other ways to tell lies. I assumed you knew better than that, Ed."

"Can't argue there," Zali agreed with the prince.

"OK," Ed rolled his eyes, "fine, you got me there."

[ganondorf2]

"With no camera working, that's all I had," Ayden said with a point of his own, "None of the witnesses had anything to record the truth so they didn't have any thing else to help me..."

"Budget cuts I bet..." I said to that.

[Shadow Dragon]

"Yeah, that'll do it, all right," said Zali about the budget cuts.

"Zali," Luke stepped up, "now that all is well, you think we should check up on her now?"

The leader nods, "Yeah, let's get a move on. Then we'll take that time to rest ourselves. We're gonna need it."

[ganondorf2]

"I'll have to talk to Athena too...didn't help with what happened," Nova said.

"No need, I explained everything to her," Aeon said walking over, "That light was me coming in to help her calm down."

"That explains it," I said

[Shadow Dragon]

"So what did you say to calm her?" asked Brian to Aeon.

[ganondorf2]

"I told her about different timelines. One, yes a person would parish, but another, nothing would happen to said person. In other word, another Sparks is alive and well," he said.

"It get complicated..." Nova said.

[Shadow Dragon]

"You had me and you lost me, buddy," Brian turned his head away, "I don't believe in this timeline fairytale nonsense. Give me a f*cking break!"

"Brian, seriously," Zali sighed, "keep an open mind for once."

"Yeah, like you're so understanding yourself, Zali."

"OK, enough!" Haku tries to stop this, then to Aeon, "With all due respect, none of us are capable of time travel, so even though things in one timeline may be peaceful and serene, we all live in this timeline in which there's a threat that needs dealt with, or risk destroying our future."

"And just because there's another person of the same being in another timeline, or whatever, is alive over there, OUR FRIEND is HERE, in OUR timeline, dead as a f*cking doornail!" hissed Ed, "So keep your time voodoo's to yourself!"

"Oh my god," Tristan shook his head, embarrassed of his gangmates as he ran his hand through his long hair.

Brandon sighed, "I'm sorry, Aeon, it doesn't seem like even you'll get through to them."

"And I apologize for their ignorance, too," Zali replied.

[ganondorf2]

"Don't have my job working with the time kepper then," Ganondorf said, "Be in my boots and you'll understand very fast. Unless you want everything to suddenly end in say...well a blackhole that appears with no warning because of something that doesn't match up. Like I said, it's complicated."

"Sounds it to me," Kain said, lost himself.

[Shadow Dragon]

"I'll keep that in mind," Ed glared.

[ganondorf2]

"I'll be needing your help again in the future," Aeon said to Nova, "We need to keep things in check."

"Of course," he said before the time keeper vanished.

Maxwell just sighed in disappointment

[Shadow Dragon]

"Keep what in check?" asked Brian.

"Everything from the sound of it," even Zali didn't know, but didn't bother looking into it.

[ganondorf2]

"Best you don't know," I said.

"It's not easy," Ganondorf said with a sigh, "Still gives me a headache."

"Is everything alright?" Andrew's voice was heard before he walked into view.

Kain smelt something off from him right away.

[Shadow Dragon]

"I'll take your word for it," said Brian, and said nothing more on the subject.

"Uh, I think we're fine now," answered Tristan to Andrew.

[ganondorf2]

"That human..." Kain said about Andrew, "Are you even that anymore?"

"Pardon?" he asked.

"You are not human..."

He stood in silence for a moment and said, "Impressive."

[Shadow Dragon]

"You can smell it, too, huh?" asked Kyle.

[ganondorf2]

He sighed and said, "I told him we cant hide it when someone has a great sense of smell."

"Who?" Kain asked in confusion over the 'we' part. Was it between Ganondorf or someone else?

"Let me put it this way, humans are scary in their own twisted way. Makings things either save or kill. Dragons should be aware of this too."

"I know that, you think I don't?!"

"So you know of an old company called Umbrella then?"

This caught him off guard and said, honestly, "Ok that I don't."

"Good thing you don't"

[Shadow Dragon]

"Oh, we're well aware, all right," said Kyle.

[ganondorf2]

This made Kain a little leery and said, "I wont ask then."

"Anyway, Athena is resting right now...but Bellona...I fear is fading..." Andrew said, "Its slow but..."

"I thought I sensed something wrong..." Nova said, "This something I cant heal."

[Shadow Dragon]

That made the draconic gang gasp, Brian asking, "What?!"

"Considering her age, it had to be expected eventually," Zali sighed, "though it happening this soon is another thing..."

"Oh no," Kyle softly spoke.

Brandon sighs to this, not knowing what to say.

[ganondorf2]

"Its very slow. I'm doing the best I can for her," Andrew said, "I could give her something to help her last a longer, however there's a chance that-"

"Don't you dare, Andrew!" Ganondorf cuts him off.

"I knew you'd protest to this, but I already talked to Athena about this."

"...and she said 'yes'. You better know what you are doing."

[Shadow Dragon]

"Yes to what?" I ask, slightly fearing the answer.

[ganondorf2]

Kain changes to his human form as this was going on.



"Trying to 'heal' her with something man made..." Nova said, keeping an eye on Kain.

"I know what I'm doing," Andrew said, "I helped you."

"That was different. It was virus 'you' helped get rid of."

[Shadow Dragon]

"If you believe it'll work, then there's no harm in trying," said Brandon.

[ganondorf2]

"I'm sure it will work, but...it's the 'side effects' that make me worry," he said.

"I take this man is a scientist and not a doctor? I can see the panic...humans make too many mistakes unless he or she knows what they are doing," Kain notes.

"Andrew knows what he can and can't do," Maxwell said, "I've known him that long."

"For a human that doesn't live as long as us?"

"Funny you say that. I don't think he aged much."

"You're just saying that to be nice," Andrew said with a chuckle.

[Shadow Dragon]

None of us said anything to this, however.

[ganondorf2]

"I guess I'll come clean then. I have a virus in me, but it's nothing to worry about," Andrew said, "Not like the other version."

"Excuse me?" Kain asked.

"Trust me when I say about the other is 100 times worse."

"And him?" Kain asked about Broly, whom was listening in, "I don't think he's human either."

"What about-oh he's not from here. He lives with the Ganondorf's group as he has no where else to go."

"What's with your clan?" he asked Nova.

"Mixed bag of nuts lets just say, but we are all sane I assure you," the clone said to that

I snicker to the pun as did Broly.
