((@ Soknardalr: Yea, you can PM me your characters, and delete the post if you want. It would sort of make things easier...)) Messoris looked over at the trio he had walked past earlier. His eye was blank, emotionless. "Do you...Know the people who live here?" He asked in a light voice as he pointed to the Hunters' house. "Are they there right now?" His searching aura expanded and he counted the Nightshades within his radius. Three in front of him, two behind him, and two in the house...The children's parents?? He looked behind him, at the tree, and spoke in an indifferent voice. "You're wasting your time hiding. I know you're there."=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Dante laughed as Cay broke a bubble of seawater over his head, leaving him soaked. "Cay! You know how much I don't like water!" He said as he shook his head and the water droplets dripped from his blonde head. "Yeah! We know how much you like Cay more!" His twin crowed from the other side of Cay. Dante blushed and splashed her while she was too busy laughing. "H-hey!" "Not my fault!" He called as she sent a small tidal wave at him. "Oi, oi, oi, oi! Not fair!" But suddenly he froze and looked over to the cliff, his eyes not seeing it, but looking beyond his sight. The power...It was something that he had never felt before...It felt...Evil. He ignored the fact that during his blank out, the tidal wave had crashed into him and left him all wet. "We need to go. Now!" He yelled and Alexa was stunned. "Wha-huh? Why?" Dante turned to look at her, eyes serious. "Don't you feel it?!" Alexa froze. Now that he said it....She could feel it as well, the surge of power...She stumbled through the water after her twin and called back to Cay. "Cay! Come on! We have to go!" Dante reached the shore before anyone else and he was engulfed in black flames that dried him off instantly while he ran. "Cay, go tell your parents!" He yelled over his shoulder as he ran up the stony steps to the top of the cliff. 'Mom...Dad...'

((Ok, sent the PM. Sorry for all the confusion...
Yeah, the funny thing is that it's also my cousin's birthday.))
Cecilio moved closer to Eve.
"Chio, move away, these are my friends." She smiled at Zoe. "I don't know who it is, but I don't like how he's looking into the house."
Cecilio cleared his thought.
"Right. Zoe, Ben, this is Cecilio Rivera. He has been following me around for quite some time but I wasn't sure we could trust him."
Cecilio looked hurt. "You know you can..."
"Yes, now I do."
"You're wasting your time hiding. I know you're there."
Eve stepped forward. "Pff, I expected as much." Cecilio watched her with a nervous look.
"What do you want with this house?" Cecilio said, a few seconds after Zoe.
Eve walked closer to get a better look at the man. Cecilio walked next to her.

Messoris shoved away the impatience in his head. His master said to get all the Nightshades. The strongest would just have to wait. He turned to the woman. "I have some....Business to attend to here..." His only visible eye was glowing. "Will you answer me nicely, or do I have to force it out of you?" He asked softly, his whole body outlined in a light blue aura. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Dante was running. He didn't know if his twin was behind him and honestly, at the moment, he didn't care. His parents....They were in danger. He felt it. His feet pounded at the pavement, his heart in his ears. Suddenly, up ahead, he saw a figure in a black hood. The figure had metal claws strapped onto his hands and Dante growled. This was him. This was who he felt. Alexa was breathing heavily as she caught up with her twin. Damn her asthma! Dante fisted his hand and it caught in black fire. He dashed at the man, aiming to punch him, but the man disappeared, reappearing behind him, and kicking him forwards. Dante stumbled and the man grabbed a fistful of his hair. Alexa's sibling instinct kicked in and her eyes flashed angrily. "Leave my brother alone!" She yelled and she sent a wave of ice at the man. He made a noise of impatience and shattered it with a finger. "Weak. Still so weak." He muttered and let go of Dante, disappearing and reappearing behind Alexa. "Alex!" Dante yelled as the man grabbed her arm and disappeared with her. "ALEX!"

Cayleigh, suddenly terrified summoned a spray of water strong enough to propell her towards her house. She had done this many times before, but not as fast. When she reached the backyard, her mother rushed out of the house, appearantly had seen Dante running away, followed by his twin.
"What is it?"
"Mom..." Cay struggled to catch her breath, "Dante sensed...evil. Power. I sense it too. Do you?" Terrion was silent for a minute as Cayleigh coughed.
"I sensed it a while ago, but I didn't want to frighten you by leaving the house without telling you."
"Mom..."
"I know." Terrion hesitated. "I don't know if I should wait for your father..."
"Mom! Dante and Alexa went already! They could be in trouble!" Cayleigh shouted.
"Okay then. Honey, I'm going to need you to stay here. When your dad gets back tell him it's an emergency."
"But mom-"
"No."
"I'm old enough!" Cay shouted indignantly. Terrion looked her over for a second.
"Ah, well. Fine. But don't get in my way and stay back. I don't want you getting hurt." Terrion buckled her old twin swords. Cay's eyes widened. Those swords were legendary. It meant her mother was going to do something she had never done in front of Cay's eyes. Fight.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Terrion bolted out the door, throwing off the sweatshirt that covered her usual outfit. The strange black tunic with black leggings and broad belt. She kept her face stern, but she felt almost happy when her swords were sheathed at her hip. She pulled her hair up in a ponytail as she ran towards Rogue's house. Something felt out of place. Wrong. Every moment she was running, the darkness of evil pressed around her. It can't be... Nothing was worse than Aun... Terrion pulled out a cell phone, something that she used very little. She preferred face-to-face talk. But this called for desperate measures. Once she flipped it open she dialed Elia's number. He should be getting off work soon... "Elia?" A voice on the other side sounded worried. "Hun?" "I sense something... Just get over here immediately." "Okay." Terrion shut the phone and stuffed it back into her pocket. Who cared if it broke? She never used it. Terrion skidded to a stop in front of the Hunters' house. She composed herself and knocked, calling out at the same time. "Rogue? I need to talk to you." Rogue was used to Terrion's unanounced visits, with her dislike of phones and all... When Rogue didn't answer immediately, Terr reached out with telepathy. Someone, please. Something's wrong.

Rogue was in the kitchen when she heard the knock. She paused, puzzled, but then she recieved Terrion's telepathic message. Her heart pounded as she hurried over to the door and opened it. "Terr? This is strange....You look upset...." Scared.... "Is something wrong? Where are the kids?" She caught sight of the twin swords and her eyes widened. Terr never used them any more. "Terrion, what's wrong?!" Her voice raised an octave, laced with hysteria and worry. Nova came down the stairs. "Hey, Terr! What's up?" He froze when he saw the swords and the looks on the women's faces. "What did I miss?" At that moment, they all felt a surge of the power.
Dante slipped and stumbled onto the pathway to the door of his own house. Terrion was already there. "Mom! Dad!" He yelled and Nova was at his side in an instant. "Dante?! What the-?! Where's your sister?!?!" Dante was breathing heavily, spots in his sight as he tried to focus on his father. "H-he....He has her....He t-took her..." Rogue was panicking now. "Who?! Who took her?!" Dante shook his head. "I don't....Know....He was...There...And he took her..." He was choking back tears and Nova kept his arms around his son protectively.

Zoe looked at the man, and her tapping stopped. 'Owen, Ben, do exactly as I say.' She thought to them. It felt weird, using her mind like that. She hadn't used it for a long time. Owen and Ben nodded. "Listen, the last Hunters Ive ever seen disappeared without a trace. You will leave our property or else we will be forced to remove you." She growled. Owen stared in awe at Zoe. Ben shook his shoulder, and Owen looked back at Eve. "I Owen, I don't believe we've met." He said, eying the man from the side of his eyes.
~~~~~~~~~~
Lune smirked, sitting in a tree near-by, watching the Nightshades and the man she knew worked for her boss. She pulled a small bird puppet from her cloak, and whispered to it in a low voice. The bird tweeted, and flapped around. Luna laughed silently, and let the bird free. It flew towards the house, and sat in the sill, watching. Luna commanded it to record its sight. She could see in the birds eyes, though she couldn't see at all. A man was hugging his child, who was crying. The woman where panicking, and asking questions.

Eve shuddered. "There is something wrong... Something missing..."
Cecilio nodded. "Some element is definitely missing."
"What am I missing?" At that moment she watched a strange bird fly over her. Eve nodded. "That's it, there's someone else here."
Cecilio looked around and nodded.
"Zoe, I think something is going to happen soon."
Cecilio moved closer to Eve as to protect her.
"Chio, would you knock that off?! I know how to defend myself. I have been doing it for years."
Cecilio moved away. "Sorry..." he muttered.
Eve closed her eyes. "Terrion..." She muttered when she received the message. "Chio, something worse then what I thought is going to happen. We must protect the twins! I think he's after them!" She glared at the man still standing at the gate.
The man was no outlined in a blueish aura and Eve decided that he must have said something before, but she was too busy trying to understand Terrion's message to hear him.
"You will force nothing out of us!" Cecilio snapped at him.

Ben nodded at Eve, and inked. "We'll be there in a second." He said, and he took off, and ran into the house where everyone else was at. "Somethings wrong. I don't know what, but Eve thinks so too." He said. Zoe watched Ben run, and sighed silently. She loved having him near to fight. Owen looked at Eve, then Cecilio. "I agree." He said, and turned to the man. "Nothing will escape our mouths." He growled, and Zoe smirked. Owen had nerve. "As my friends have said." She smirked. "Now leave." She snarled, shifting to a wolf. Black hair, now streaked with red, bristled on end, her eyes flashing angrily. "You have been warned." Owen smirked.
~~~~~~~~~
Luna watched them, though she wasn't, laughing hollowly. "Nightshades can be so ignorant sometimes!" She laughed, and floated down, her white hair fanning out a bit when she did. "I see you've seen my bird. He can cause no harm, but my other ones can!" She laughed again, and pulled out two swordsmen in armor. They collapsed, and Luna whispered again to them. They rose to their feet slowly, swords held high, ready to fight.

Terrion struggled to keep the panic out of her voice. "Cayleigh came to me, a minute after I sensed something, or someone, for that matter... I," she paused and took a deep breath, "I know he's evil. And possibly something worse than..." She glanced over at Cayleigh and Dante. "Him." Rogue looked taken aback and shaken. Terrion could understand, even seeing her friend's son in that condition shook her. Cayleigh was silent for the first time, a look of pure terror and shock marring her bright and happy face. Terrion heaved a shuddering sigh. "Elia is on his way here."
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Cayleigh was shocked. One of her best friends, just taken by some mysterious man. She moved over to Dante's side, trying hard to comfort him. She kept her mouth shut as Rogue and her mother talked. Confused, she tried to keep out of the way. Terrion's voice broke through the shocked silence that had fallen again.
"Now, Dante. Where were you two when he took Alexa?" Cayleigh shook her head and came out of her daze. She saw her mother standing by Dante, speaking softly and waiting patiently for Dante to calm down so he could manage to squeeze a few words out between his sobs.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Something distracted Terrion other than Ben's arriving. A shudder raced down her spine. Backing away and turning at the same time, she saw Eve and Zoe facing some strange puppet things. Sensing danger, Terrion drew her swords and slid into the old defencive position. Her crooked smile found its way to her face for an instant and the 50 year old sparkle returned to her eyes. An almost playful aura surrounded her as she stood slightly behind Eve. "Welcome, miss. But you haven't given me a reason to give you a warm welcome. You have earned the right to receive a cold one. Cold hard steel."

Luna laughed at the girl, bemused. "How cute!" She laughed, and her swordsmen, who stared cold at the Nightshades. "I haven't taken your little one, but you may want to ask my colleague here." She said, nodding to the hooded figure.
~~~~~~~~~~
Zoe looked at Terr, and grinned a bit. "I don't miss those days..." She muttered, and smirked at the girl, flashing her powerful canines. "I think we can take your little dummies. We aren't your average Nightshades." She laughed, and Owen watched. He had heard their stories of killing their grandfather, and knew a lot of hardship came with it. Owen twirled a finger in the air, and the swordsmen where swept into a small twister of their own, ripping them apart.
Ben watched Terr leave, and turned to Rogue and Nova. "Whats going on, why is Dante crying?!" He asked, clenching his fists a bit.

Eve snarled as Cecilio lunged.
"Chio, wait! They have powers, we will not be able to stop them by brute force alone."
Cecilio stopped suddenly. "What would you suggest I do?"
"Use your powers."
Cecilio looked amused. He hadn't used his powers for anything more then making ice-cream in a long time. He crouched down and put his hand to the ground. Not even a second later, a large web of ice covered of one the swordsmen. Cecilio snickered.
"Look out!" Eve yelled at him and pushed him away just in time to dodge an attack from the second swordsman. "Zoe! To your right!" She yelled again as the first one freed itself from the web.
"How...?"
Eve looked apologetic. "I'm sorry, Chio, I should have trained you, but I wasn't expecting something like this to happen ever again..."
Cecilio looked at her with a stone cold look. "Again?"
Eve dodged another attack and then smirked. "We'll talk about it later." She said jumping to her right. She closed her eyes and when she opened them again they were bright red. "Now, I'm tried of playing your ridiculous games," she said to Luna. With a heavy sigh, she put her hand on of of the swordsmen and closed her eyes. "Goodbye!"
Everything went black around her and she dropped the swordsmen into the void. "You will not escape from here."
Cecilio watched her. "What was that?!" He looked at the space where the swordsman had been.
"Not now, Chio!" She grabbed his arm and pulled him behind her to keep him from getting attacked again. "Now, get a hold of yourself!"
Cecilio nodded. He looked at the other swordsmen. "Pff! You're not worth my time!"
"Terrion, it's good to see you again!"
Eve jumped up to avoid an attack. Cecilio put his hand on the ground again and another web covered the swordsmen. Eve sighed. "That won't last long..."

"Whoa!" Zoe shouted, jumping back. "Zoe, to your left!" Owen shouted, and swpet her out of the way. "Thanks Owen." Zoe smiled at him, before turning to Lune. "Your insane! You really think were going be taken down by a few dummies?" She asked, lunging. Lune danced out of the way, pulling more puppets out. They all looked exactly like Terr, Rogue, Eve, and Zoe. Lune whispered to them, and they came to life, and after them.

Archangelo sighed. These Nightshade were a bit....Annoying. He only needed the younger ones. The rest, he would leave to their fate.
"It seems I have underestimated you..."
He looked at Messoris, who was already gathering up his power, and gave a subtle nod, disappearing. Messoris grinned and the aura increased dramatically in size and strength.
"Oi, Lune! He gave the signal! Time to give all out!"
The crystal around his neck seemed to explode in a flash of bright light, momentarily blinding everyone. When the light dimmed, Messoris had a pair of wings on his back, and was carrying a scythe.
Rogue's eyes flashed. No one hurt her children and got away with it. She stormed up the stairs and into the spare room, breaking open the lock to grab her broadsword and double guns. When she came down again, she looked absolutely furious.
Dante never saw his mother look so cool, but so scary at the same time. He scrambled to his feet, helping Cay up as well, and watched the ongoing fight with wide eyes. He could help with the dummies...But their controller, not really. He sent a ball of black fire at the dummy of his mother and Terr that were heading towards Zoe.
From a far off rooftop, Genesis was 'watching' the fight going on. He might not have had eyes, but the fight was loud enough to give him a clear image on what was going on. He disappeared from the current rooftop, to in front of Messoris. "Brother, that's enough. What will you get by hurting these Nightshades?" Messoris snarled at him. "Stay away from this! You betrayed him long ago, I don't count you as my brother!" He swung his scythe at Genesis, but was blocked by the barrel of his brother's gun. "Disappointment in the past and disappointment now. You'll never change, will you?"

Eve watched Genesis with a curious look. She had been prepared to attack Messoris, but Genesis had gotten in the way.
"Chio, can you attack the marionette that looks like me? I'll help in a minute."
Cecilio nodded and attacked the fake Eve. He couldn't stand the look of this puppet. It didn't look anything like Eve in his opinion. Besides, it kept its mouth open in a very weird way. He couldn't stand looking at it. It discussed him. He took out his stiletto and with a swift movement he covered it with ice. He jumped at the puppets head and slashed hard. The puppet moaned and he growled. Two more attacks and the puppet was in pieces. He nodded it at. "Serves you right!"
"Where did that come from? I don't think I've ever seen you so annoyed."
Cecilio flushed a little. "No soportaba verlo..."
Eve sighed. Why did he insist on speaking Spanish to her? "Brothers?" Eve looked at the two men that were still arguing. Who could they be talking about?
"Eve, next to you!"
Eve snapped out of her trance and dodged an attack from the last swordsmen. "Stop wasting my time." She put her hand on its shoulder and sent it into the void as well. Eve relaxed when she saw the familiar darkness. She had forgotten how much she liked visiting the void. Suddenly her thoughts were interrupted by a voice: it's been a while, Eve. Eve jumped. Did you miss me? She recognized the voice, but she couldn't remember whose it was.
"Eve! Eve!" Cecilio was shaking her. "Eve!"
"I'm ok, Chio. It was just a fainting spell."
Cecilio looked at her hard.
"I'm ok!" She closed her eyes. Zoe, Terr, Rogue, something very weird is going on! I'm hearing voices in my head again! Eve screamed at her friends in her head. It had been 50 years since she had heard voices in her head and it scared her.
Cecilio watched her expression change. "Eve..."
"Chio, watch out!" Cecilio was too late to dodge an attack from puppet Zoe and he fell to the ground.
Eve looked at Lune. "If we really want to stop them, she's the one we should be attacking!" She checked to see what the brothers were doing and saw that they were still arguing.

Zoe cringed at Eve's screaming, and swung at her sword at her dummy. She was furious. No one messed with her family like this. She cried out, and swung her arms at the speed of light. Her puppet fell apart at the hinges. Luna growled angrily, and whispered other words in the same, ancient language. The puppet came back together, and pulled out a copy of her sword. Zoe jumped back, and hissed. "Its impossible to fight them! They either reform, or they know our own moves!" She shouted to the others. The puppet dived, and swung Zoe's favorite move. You swung to the right, then came back faster, catching them off guard. Zoe smacked her sword away with her own, and they both jumped back. "Owen, help me!" Zoe shouted to him, and he rushed over. "Twister?" He asked, smirking. "Oh yeah." Zoe grinned back, and willed thorny vines to grow from the ground, tangling her puppet. Luna danced around them all, laughing insanely. Zoe growled at her, and willed vines to tangle Luna, but she danced away. Ben ran out of the house, drawing his poisoned swords. He came between Rogue and Terr, smiling a bit. "Get ready to fight girls." He grinned, and dived at the dummies, kicking them down. Owen forced a twister around Zoe's puppet, sending it spinning. "Get that girl, she's controlling them!" Owen told Zoe, who nodded. Luna nodded at the men, smirking. She screamed insanely, and her body glowed purple, and the glow spread. "No!" Zoe screamed, trying to run back, but it was to late. The glow reached her, and she fell immediately, unconscious. "Zoe!" Owen and Ben yelled at the same time, eyes wide.
