Beorn sensed a change in the air some thing was about to go down... I might as well wait here that way if they are hurt i can track the attacker easier.

La Porte smiled at Fez's threats. "You cannot destroy me," he said casually, as if pointing out something obvious. "Only our dear Miss Sakura could kill me right now. I have been, how do you say, enhanced with science that makes me nearly indestructible, and dangerously strong. Why, I could tear out your wonderful mane of hair by its roots, with my fingernails alone--"
I cut in, "Stop it. Stop talking. I left you people, left you and all your projects and experiments so that I would never have to see it again, or hear your voice again."
He grinned. "So, if I were to say something like this, you wouldn't like it..." He took a deep breath and closed his eyes. "My sweet lady, sweetest child of heaven, you are powerless. You are powerless against our will. Now lay down like a good little child, and--"
I lunged at him. I went for his throat.
He dodged, effortlessly, seeing as my lunge was rather easy to see and easy to duck.
"SHUT IT!" I screamed at him. "WHY CAN'T YOU PEOPLE JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!" Tears were running freely down my face. "Why...can't you..."
"Because we made you what you are now," he murmured, and he was right by my side now, as if he had always been there. La Porte's voice was soft, almost soothing. "Because we are your past, we haunt your present, and we will take control of your future..."
I shuddered, and closed my eyes. Maybe if I did this, I could escape all of it. Maybe I could leave it all behind.
I felt La Porte take my arm, his soft, flawless fingers holding me. "Milady and I will be leaving now," he said courteously to them. "We must go back to that place from whence we first came."
I felt a cold wind wrap itself about us, and then the wind rushed past us at a terrific speed. Then the wind settled about us, and I could hear absolutely nothing.
I opened my eyes again. Everything else was gone. We were in a doorless room, sealed away from air and time. I stared about, wondering what in hell had just happened.
"Milady," La Porte murmured softly, "I am glad you came without violence." He took me in his arms, holding me close to his chest. I barely resisted. Now his voice came quietly in my ear. "But why did you leave in the first place?"
"You knew why," I said, looking at him with a reproachful gaze. "You knew. I was in pain for all that time, but no one ever cared. I had to get away, and I thought I could. I thought..."
"You thought wrong," he said, and suddenly his voice was harsh and cold. I looked up at his eyes and they were burning with an icy flame. Ice-blue eyes. Eyes that would burn into one's soul.
I became suddenly aware of how scantily clad I was. Painful memories were coming back to me.
"It was wrong of you to have left the day after you promised me you would never leave," he said, his voice sharp and angry. "And you know me. I vowed I would track you down and exact revenge."
I tried to back away and get some distance between me and this dangerous man, but to no avail. Half a foot was all I got before his hands caught my arms, his powerful fingers carelessly bruising the white skin underneath them.
"And now," I heard him say, his voice merciless and cruel in my ears, "I will have my revenge."

La Porte's eyes burned dangerously as he swung around to look at Fez. "Ah, so you ignored Milady's instructions and followed us, did you?"
I turned sharply, looking at Fez. A sudden spark of hope had leapt into the dark cavernous despair, but I knew the risk he ran, as well.
"Fez," I said, my voice breaking. "Leave. Stop following me. I-I... La Porte's right. I have to go with him."
"You see?" La Porte now pulled me so I was standing in front of him, and wrapping his arms neatly around me, he rested his head upon mine. "She herself commands you to leave. I am not controlling her in any way." He regarded Fez with the air of one inspecting a horse for sale. "...you are another son of Death, aren't you?" he muttered. "You are a brother of that infernal Prince."
"It doesn't matter," I broke in, "you have to leave, now, Fez. La Porte, you can take your revenge on me elsewhere."
La Porte smiled wickedly. "Of course, Milady, but first..."
He murmured something under his breath, and a light appeared in front of me. It took the shape of a manacle and surrounded my wrist, before it vanished.
"Now," La Porte spoke, as I stared in horror at my wrist, "if you or any of your friends -- yes, that includes your dearest brother -- makes but a move to follow us, she will undergo the most terrifying pain. If you attack, or do anything, her blood vessels explode within her. She will not die, she cannot die, but she will experience unimaginable pain as a result of horrific internal hemmorhaging."
I raised my eyes in supplication to La Porte, as if to ask him, how could you be so cruel?
"I wished not to resort to such matters, my princess," he said, raising a hand to tenderly stroke my hair. "But I had to do it for your sake. Otherwise he would've followed us like an annoying little bug, and I would be forced to crush him like so. And I know how devestated you would be if I did that, though why I have no idea."
He looked back up at Fez. "You must watch for our kind," he said, giving that wicked smile. "We are powerful, and you, stripped of your powers as you are, are no match for our strength. We are the Altered, and though for now I am taking mercy, one day you will know the true strength of the Altered."
With that the world before my eyes warped, twisted and vanished.

La Porte and I could still hear Fez's voice echoing behind us, and he smiled.
"That one's got a fiery spirit," he reflected aloud. "A soul such as his would've been perfect for the Altered. Ah, well..."
He sent a mental message to Fez, allowing me to hear it as well.
The Altered are about as close to being human as you are. True, our souls are human, our spirits are human, but we are not. Our bodies have been genetically modified in so many ways. We are no longer mortal, we have surpassed the bounds of human strength. If you have as much power as you claim to have, I have no wish to fight you. What would be the use? Undoubtedly I would lose, as you say, and I would lose Milady here. Why on earth would I run the risk? Would I return to my masters empty-handed? No, I shall stay my hand, and go on, leaving your invitation unaccepted. You may call this cowardice; I call it prudence.
La Porte teleported us to another location, lest the younger son of Death pinpoint the starting location of the message. We stood near the ocean, atop a series of cliffs overlooking the sea.
"Now," he said as he looked at me, "he says he can track your scent. So I think I know a way to stop him. Easily enough, I will cover your scent with mine. Even if he knows the scent, he cannot follow it."
I stared at him, silently asking him with my eyes to be a little more kind in handling me.
He read my look and smiled gently. "You know that I love you dearly, Milady," he murmured. "I wish for you to stay with me. But you wounded me so when you left me like that..."
His hand lightly traced down my arm covetously, and his eyes raked my body, remembering it well. But he stopped when he reached my torso.
"What is this!" La Porte hissed, staring at the mark of the fleur-de-lis. "You've been marked! By who?"
Without waiting for my answer, he reached down and touched the mark.
That was his mistake.
At once the mark began glowing blue, burning me slightly. The ocean starting roiling, circling in a strange whirl. The sky started cracking with unnatural thunder. I tore away from his grasp, knowing what would happen next.
"So this is where my dear child has been hidden all this time," a smooth voice spoke. A figure rose out of the ocean, and hovered just above the surface, facing us.
My master had come to reclaim what was his.

[[[ O.o I meant that to be a certain someone, but you actually gave me another choice as well. :3 ]]]
La Porte stared with near terror at the person watching us. "Prince of Death..." he breathed.
Akira smiled devilishly, as with one hand he beckoned to me. I jumped up and ran to the edge of the cliffs.
La Porte started. "Do you mean to throw yourself off the cliffs?" he asked. "Are you mad!"
I smiled weakly, and leaped off the edge.
Akira swooped in and caught me, holding me safely in one arm. His smile had disappeared and was now replaced by a none-too-friendly glare.
La Porte glowered at us in return. "She belongs to us!" he howled. "She is mine! Mine!"
Akira shook his head. "I saved her from you," he said softly. "And now she belongs to me."

Out of nowhere, something heavy collided with Akira. He made a startled noise...and he dropped me.
I knew it wasn't on purpose. But out of reflex, his arm loosened and down I fell.
"Damn!" Akira flew down to try catching me again, but this time La Porte slammed into him. They crashed down onto the top of the cliffs, and I plummeted down, down, down.
My rapid descent was halted when another arm caught me. I looked up to see a face. This face, like Akira's, was familiar, but it belonged to a person I hadn't seen in ten years.
I looked up to see a crazed smile and wild eyes. My heart nearly stopped.
We sunk through the air at an amazing rate. Then we tumbled into the rampant waters of the ocean and were gone.
Akira had been surprised at La Porte's attack, but then he swung around and caught the assailant in the stomach. La Porte sailed backwards and smashed ungracefully into the rock wall, collapsing at the foot of it in a heap.
Akira flew at him like a bullet and would have dismembered him in an instant, were it not for the fact that he needed him.
"You!" Akira hissed angrily. "Where is she! I can't sense her!"
La Porte groaned, but then he looked up and smiled grimly. "It does not matter if I die," he whispered. "If I die, you won't be able to find her. So go ahead. Kill me."
"NO!" Akira exploded. He grabbed at the injured man's arm and smacked it against the rock behind them in a rage. "Tell me where she is!"
"She is," La Porte began, and then stopped, pain keeping his words in check. Akira sighed impatiently and brought his hand to La Porte's head. His hand flashed a soft blue, healing La Porte enough to speak.
"She is," he began again, "she is somewhere you will never find her."
Akira stared at him with the air of someone who could tear the heavens to pieces. "What do you mean!"
"Science is a wonderful thing. We found out how to rip holes in space and time. She's been taken to another dimension, another universe. A place where you are simply not allowed to go. If you try to find her, time will step aside and let you go to somewhere she doesn't exist." La Porte took a deep breath. "And Michel will never let you find her."
"Michel?" Akira looked hysterical. "Michel!"
"Yes, Michel," La Porte finished. "The first of the Altered, and Sakura's mother."

La Porte smiled grimly. "I have been through the worst of pain already. I've been through so much torture that my soul has more than once risen out of my body from overwhelming pain. But always it was pulled back again..."
Akira hissed under his breath. "Do you want to meet Death," he whispered. "Do you want to meet the one who will drag you down the the eternally burning furnaces..."
"Hah!" La Porte laughed. "That does not frighten me. Pain does not frighten me."
Akira turned to Fez, his eyes flashing dangerously. "I don't want to call Father!" he whispered. "He has never laid eyes on Sakura and I am afraid of what he will think when he sees her..."

La Porte's eyes flashed, but he only laughed tonelessly. "Family!" he said in a hoarse whisper. "The only person I would've been willing to start a family with promised to love me forever and stay with me, and -- can you believe it -- she ran off the next day!"
Akira smirked. "Ah, but she did not want you. Of course she was lying! She loves me!"
La Porte sneered at him. "Do you think she really loves you?" he asked. "Do you? Or do you think she permits you to ravage her over and over, only for the sake of her protection from us--"
This was too much for Akira. He raised a hand to wring the slender white neck of the man La Porte...
~*~
Elsewhere, I trembled uncontrollably. A world of pain and fear had opened a terrifying portal with the sight of a single face.
"So, my daughter," a hoarse female voice whispered, "you would run away, would you? You would run away from your own mother!"
She struck me across the face, so hard I tumbled over, stopped only by the impenetrable wall.
"You left your mother!" she screeched, the voice grating on my ears. "You left your family! You left your world, and for what!"
Her foot connected with my midriff, inducing a great amount of pain and the sound of several ribs breaking. I groaned in pain.
"Oh, yes, that's probably the sound you make when you're allowing yourself to be Akira's whore, isn't it!" This time her foot met my leg, and a loud cracking noise resounded through the cold stone-walled room.
"You became a whore! Slut! Strumpet!" At each accusation, a fresh wave of pain went through my body.
"S-stop," I begged weakly, "I wanted to be free..."
"Of what!" she screamed, and suddenly she went completely still. The attacks stopped, and the following silence made me wish she was still screaming at me.
"You wanted to be free of greatness?" Michel spoke carefully. "Of power, of strength? You were my princess, and you ran away. Did you want to run away from royalty?"
I summoned enough strength to whisper, "Yes."
That word was a mistake, and it was very nearly the last word I ever uttered. After that, everything was pain and echoing voices, and finally, blessed darkness.
