  The punch Yata gave Matt sent Kyfen flying across the room. Quite frankly, he had no idea what was going on anymore. He had felt a burst of happiness upon seeing Yata, his father- sure. But somehow it was hard to feel joyous and blissful when you were under attack from a flock of fudge-muffin-ing gargoyles. Not only that, but Cyrea seemed not to really care about the situation at all; in fact, most of the immortals were continuing on as if they weren't under attack. Matt and Yata seemed to be spending more time fighting each other than their attackers. All was normal, then.
"Ahh." Kyfen murmured, flying through the air. Sure, this wasn't the best position to be in, but at the same time it was better than being bait for all them gargoyles. Kyfen was debating whether Yata would appreciate him jumping up and down on Matt whilst he strangled him, for that.
Wall! He suddenly noticed, bracing himself for impact. This is gonna hur-
Bash!
By some strange twist of fate, Kyfen did not collide with the wall. Rather, he hit the head of a particularly unfortunate Gargoyle, knocking it flying backwards and sending the boy grinding to a halt. The Gargoyle spun away and crashed back into the room, unconscious.
"Hey! Look!" He said, pride planting a wide smile on his face. "I got one!"
He didn't have much time to beam, though; he had to help the lady who'd just protected him. She was probably the most helpful person in the room so far. A resolute look appearing on his face, Kyfen ran towards the fray.
 There are two ways to {live}: you can {live} as if nothing is a miracle; you can {live} as if everything is a miracle.

I looked at kyfen then said, "Good job, try a drop kick next time." I took matt and swung him at a gargoyle then said, "Bad girl!" Now it was back to strangleing him.

"Matt, for your information, they're like rats and vermin. No one 'lets them out', they go where they please. Now please shut up before my brain implodes from your stupidity." Cyrea shrugged, then let out a primitive growl and lashed out at a few of the gargoyles, sending them back. "Just so you guys know, their weak point is in their mouths. It's the only part of them that's flesh, not stone. Their insides, anyway. Get down!" She smacked another one of the winged things on the head with the broom. It scuttled away.

Eureka fought off the Gargoyles as best she could, but it was to little avail. She was crippled by her lack of technology and clumsy due to her unfamiliar form. Already she suffered from many scratches running the length of her body. Unfamiliar pain and numbness was made worse by her lack of exposure to such things. She hated being mortal. She hated being away from her nice cool lab, she hated being in the company of these other people. She missed the calming logic of numbers and the soft synthetic voices or her robots...
Her attention snapped away from her thoughts not only by the mini-migraine that ensued but also by the boy walking determinedly into the crowd of Gargoyles. She liked the boy, honestly she did. He was quiet and sweet and reminded her of one of her robots and not these overemotional immortals that she so detested. She didn't want him to get hurt, if she could avoid it.
He's so determined...Like a robot... She stopped and almost laughed. Of course, the answer was so simple she had overlooked it! She couldn't use technology, but technology could sure help out on it's own.
Cupping her hands to her mouth and shouting in a voice that shook the walls she bellowed one word. "QUINTIS!"
Loud heavy footsteps could be heard from behind one of the many doors in the room. They grew closer and closer, unhurried but unyielding and unstopping, like a glacier they rang. For a moment the quieted as a door opened revealing a large man. His face was serene but corded muscles ran under his silver skin like rolling hills. He moved with the calculated grace of a machine, without waste or emotion. He was clad in a fine tuxedo and an absurd monocle over one glowing yellow eye. His height forced him to duck through the door as he entered. Calmly he waded through the Gargoyles effortlessly swatting aside any who got too close.
By the time he reached Eureka the Gargoyles were giving him a large birth. He keeled before his creator, oblivious to her disheveled state.
"What is my directive?" His voice echoed with the hollow tang of synthesis, he sounded no more human than a speaking computer.
Eureka pointed towards the boy and proclaimed "Protect me and him from these Gargoyles, Quintis. Use hostile force is necessary."
Standing with only the slightest creak of his metallic joints, he walked through the crowd, Eureka following smugly behind. A few Gargoyles attempted to come near only to be brutally shattered by harsh unfeeling hands. The strange duo walked until they came to the boy.
And unusually sincere smile crossed Eureka's lips as she held out her hand to the boy. "Hi. My name's Eureka. I'm the god of technology."

Matthew growled as he bit Yata's hand, pullig his shirt off hetossed it to the ground the wings spreading from his back he picked Kyfen and Eruka up. "Robot or no robot, stay here okay. Kyfen...Don't trust her.." He mumbled as he swooped back down. "Yata, go play wiht yourself in the cornor, honestly." He mumbled as he stared at the monstus beats approching, he sat down in the middle. "Go ahead and tear me apart, it wotn get you any where."

I stormed over to matt, and lifted him by the collar. I kicked the beast in the jaw and sent it flying. "Boy i'm about to loose control of my tempere, and it's one that created ww1 and ww2. If i loose it agian there'll be a third world war, and a boy named matt with my foot up his a**." I turned and kicked another one in the jaw and dislocated it. "And by cyrea's blade if i catch another damn immortal f**king with my son, i'll kill 'em immortal or no immortal." I tossed matt into the air and grabed him by the legs then said, "This is where you learn to enjoy pain." I swung him like a baseball batt a few gargoyles and missed severl times having him hit a wall.

"Danmit, i thought you got rid of that thing! It makes me really angry!"
Around Ixpath's feet were the broken and smashed remains of, what looked like several gargoyles. One lunged at Cyrea's throat. "Stone to flesh. Cone of force." The gargoyle's weakness now extended over the entire body, and was torn into shreds by an unseen blast of force akin to a swarm of razors.
"Since you seem to be in so much pain, Mordenkainen's Lubrication!, Weird!" A burst of light surrounded Eureka, flashing outwards and blinding some of the swooping Gargoyles. Just thereafter, a tentacled monstrosity lurched out at the ground, lashing at the Gargoyles, which then promptly fell to the floor and curled up, no longer moving.
((Note: Mordenkainens Lubrication counters and dispels Mordenkainen's Disjunction.))

Kyfen was amazed at the robot that came rushing in. A robot. A real, live, talking robot. Damn, it was like all of his dreams had come true at once! Now, if only they could fit a couple of dragons in here as well...
I think Yata, Matt and Ixpath count as dragons. The boy thought, looking at the scene in front of him, before turning to Eureka.
Matt had told him not to trust her, but he wasn't gonna pay attention. Kyfen was beginning to get the feeling that he shouldn't be trusting anyone anymore. And if he couldn't trust anyone, then why should he trust Matt when Matt said not to trust this woman? The overuse of the word 'trust' was enough to send his mind boggling. Yeesh, it was easier if he just stuck to what he knew; being himself. Eureka had protected him, which meant she was a goodie. The gargoyles were attacking them, which made them baddies. Easy.
"Hi. My name is Kyfen. God of... I don't really know." He said, looking at all of Eureka's wounds and frowning. Sure, the voice from all that time ago had told him something about miracles, but he didn't know if he could trust the voice, either. Besides; God of Miracles? The day he could pull a Deus Ex Machina out of nowhere would be the day he accepted that as truth.
"Thank you for helping me."
And now the smile. It was a very cute, innocent smile. Kyfen had been through a lot, but some things were just so deeply embedded into his nature it was hard to get rid of them. A little part of Kyfen was pure enough to withstand even the most horrific tortures. Plus, meeting the God of Technology was cool.
"Are you ok?" He murmured, looking Eureka over again. She had scratches all up and down her body- not unlike him, in fact. He knew she would be ok; being an immortal kinda helps in that aspect, but that didn't mean he shouldn't ask. Sally at the orphanage had always told him to remember to be polite.
There are two ways to {live}: you can {live} as if nothing is a miracle; you can {live} as if everything is a miracle.

I lifted matt up again then said, "You must be one with your wepon." I took him and used him as a sword against a gargoyle wielding a stone one. With a few parrys i nocked it up side the head with matts head, and used him to lean on. He was now bleeding, and i was enjoying my self. "Great balls of black fire this feels good."

"Time to finish this..." Cyrea muttered oh so quietly. With a sweep of her arm, the scythe came to her, and she caught it in her hand. As the next gargoyle came at her, she swung at it and, with a clean sweep...
Nothing happened.
Something white and transparent came out of the stone thing as Quintus crushed it. It looked around, confused, then evaporated. Cyrea then followed the giant robot around and removed the souls of every gargoyle that he crushed. Then she headed back over to Eureka. "Hey, you haven't paid me rent yet. Plus, you exploded Pluto, which, though it was a good idea, you still have to pay me back for. My mom's coming over next weekend, and if I have to tell her that my little brother exploded, she won't exactly be Happy McSunshine Rays."

I smiled then said, "Im getting off earth then, or any adjacent plane for that matter. I think the astral plane should be safe for a while, unless we go insane again." I used matt as a golf club, and hit a few metal balls in some gargoyles mouths. They scamperd away back to the closest, getting their treats for the day.

As the white light enveloped Eureka she felt her wounds heal and her body return to it's normal, child shape. She kissed the electronic bracer that appeared on her right arm and mentally blessed her small circular backpack. Her body crackled with electricity as she integrated with her technology.
Her eyes glowed with the tiny stream of information flowing across them as she smiled back at Kyfen. "I like you. Wanna see something really cool?"
Without further warning she dashed into the fray, nimble and quick like the child she was. Before the Gargoyles could respond she had already dashed through them, scattering small black orbs no bigger than spiders as she went.
Stepping aside for a moment, she turned to Cyrea and said in a quiet voice "I'll get the rent soon, how would you like to be paid this month? Another mechanical cat?"
Before waiting to receive an answer she turned to the fray and pressed a small button on her bracer. C4 explosions shook the room as Gargoyles rained down in a fine layer of dust. Holding her hand up for a moment to collect a small amount of the stuff, Eureka smiled and commented "It's just like a gray christmas, eh?"

Kyfen laughed, delighted. The little grey flecks of gargoyle dust really did look like snow. Sure, it was grey, but as he held his hand out Kyfen could feel each little speck as it touched it skin, and saw it settling onto the ground of Cyrea's house.
"Wow!" He said, loudly. Suddenly, everything seemed alright again. Better than alright, actually. Not only was it snowing, and all the gargoyles were dealt with, but he had made a new friend. Eureka probably wasn't actually his own age, but to Kyfen that didn't really matter. At least she looked like it.
Kneeling down, Kyfen scooped up some gargoyle dust, and patted into a loose ball. He loved snow. The orphanage had always looked so pretty when covered in white; like a christmas card. Damn it, he was fighting back the urge to say 'God bless us, every one.' He was that happy.
Standing up, he threw the snowball at Yata, giggling. Hopping down off wherever Matt had put him, he ran over to Eureka, smiling.
"Snowball fight!"

[[Isn't matthew taller then Yata? xD How does that work?Meh large swing I guess..Oh waite he's a child.]]
Matthew smirked slightly he slowly took the blade from his pocket and stabbed it into Yata's arm, it was his small one. Matthew winced as he slowly laid on the groud. He curled up in a ball. the grey covering his body. He stood up, shaking like a wet dog. He growled. "Were all going to hell and Cyrea's the tour guide.." He mumbled as he took his dagger out of Yata's arm. "Oh ******** you Yata...Your nto the expert of pain, Cyrea is..Let's be serious you can fight a million battles and kill a million people. But your too strong. Cyrea and many other immortal's know the pain of payment..So don't act like you can teach us all about pain...because we know more then you think.."

I smiled then said, "Do you really wanna know what true pain is matt? Having to deal with the thought about ending millions of lives every day. All cyrea has to do is collect their souls, I have to shed their blood." I took out a butter knife, i scoffed and tossed it to the ground. "Not dull enough." I took my hand and filed my finger nails down to nothing, and then i slowly ripped out my own throught and all the while i was smiling, then half way through i said, "I no longer feel pain, becuase it pulses through my veins. You still feel pain, for you've never experinced true pain before. Come back and talk to me when you've ended over a million lifes, and have lost your sanity more then once. Those lives that you have to end must be with your bare hands nothing more."
