Welcome to Gaia! ::

Dee nodded, "This is true, son. Anduin could attempt that, but think about all who is here besides you and I. Terry is a strong fighter, Vegeta and Raditz are both saiyans, and lets not forget that although Andy is on the opposing side in Azeroth, he is an ally here and he, like you is level 90. As for the one shot thing...it is shocking with how angry one gets when something isn't fair. If that were an attack on Terry, well...not even the after life is where Varian would be right now. Varian probably saw the Valkirie and is back on his throne where he should be. If anything, I'd be more concerned that Varian doesn't send his entire alliance after me and that would include Andy than Anduin wanting revenge."

Then Vegeta belched while he was listening to all of this drinking a soda, and said with his usual prideful smirk, "Like you said, Trunks, you are level 90 and I say even if Varian should send Andy after us, its not like we couldn't do anything about it. After all, Dee knows the secret to putting an end to Andy without even having to scratch him."

Dee nodded, "Yeah, if that Varian or his son orders Andy to execute me for what I did, then here is the game plan...first the three of you will distract Andy fighting him full force while I get the bloodstone amulet and smash it. That Amulet is what keeps Andy alive. So, in a way, he is kinda like the walking dead."

Terry's face went green as he was reminded about how his brother is technically one of the scourage and how one of Terry's weaknesses was ghosts, zombies, and similar creatures. One area he avoids in Azeroth, Dee noticed was the Tirisfal glades and the eastern plaguelands simply because of the walking dead.

Dee placed a comforting hand on Terry's shoulder and reminded him to relax. Then she headed over to the laptop in the corner where it remained open in case of an emergency needed on any one of Dee's planets. She typed up her recent adventure with Rock as it was important to her files for the Secret Society.

Zane wandered in and shouted, "Trunks, you here? Dinner's ready at home!"

If there was one thing Zane didn't like was when Trunks ran from Zane's cooking.

Zane chuckled, then said, "Well...I am glad that it wasn't because you ran from my cooking. I might not be as good as your mom and I am far from Iori's cooking, but I do try. Then again...you are a better cook than me."

Giving the blood elf a kiss, Zane then said to Trunks, "We can come back here after if you want. Besides, I don't trust End to watch the kids for long without them all getting into trouble."

No sooner than Zane said that, Dee said, "You two better come look at this report. The new one, not the one I am writing. It says, Dragon left to watch little kids alone, are the parents irresponsible? Author...Epcor Truesdale!"

Zane smirked, "Told ya so."

Zane nodded, "I agree. Our son knows better than this."

Turning to Dee, Zane said, "And don't you worry, mother, we shall return later this evening. I was hoping that we all could gaze at the stars tonight as a family."

Dee smiled, "Sounds like a plan to me."

As soon as Trunks and Zane left for their mansion in New Domino City, Dee turned her attention to Terry who was still appearing like he was going to suffer the reversal food effect. "Terry, darling, what's wrong? Are you really feeling that ill?"

His instincts took over before he could properly answer her. He dashed up the stairs as fast as a wolf could and into the bathroom he went. There was no stopping it. Try as he might, he could not get the truth of Andy being a part of the living dead out of his mind. The very notion of Andy walking amongst the living seemed so...evil...so wrong that Terry could no longer stomach it.

Terry knew that he was going to have to tell Dee how he felt eventually, but a part of that would mean breaking a law that Dee had set for everyone to follow. This wasn't really a matter of having to tear apart something that was meant to be, meaning Andy with Raditz, but it was more of the fact that Andy wasn't really alive. Perhaps, Terry thought, "It is my beliefs of what is and isn't natural even in this anime world that I live in that's making me feel so lousy right now. Am I really so one-track minded that I am willing to go as far as to hurt the ones that I love just so that I can ease the pain in my stomach?"

Dee could hear Terry throwing up all the way from the kitchen. She sighed sadly as her telepathic powers kicked in, not being able to help it. She understood how Terry felt, but the reason why Andy is part of the walking dead is because Andy's true love showed up after he died and as the saying goes, "Not even death can break apart true love". The amulet that Raditz carried was Andy's life or rather what was left of it. Inside the pendant was Andy's beating heart.

So, in a way, Andy was revived. It was just different.

End lowered his head in shame that Epcor escaped and that there was no way to track where the kid went. Zane's anger began to rise as it was also clear that the kids already ate without Trunks or Zane being there.

Zane let out a clear growl and said to Trunks, "you go ahead and eat, my love. I will find Epcor and I am taking this useless excuse for a dragon with me. I am sure that the other kids are already in their rooms dealing with their own business and that Epcor was the only one to escape. The only thing that really troubles me is why that kid? I mean, this sort of thing sounds more like what Morticia would do because she is the rebellious one."

End let out a low roar to indicate that Morticia went with Epcor and that it was Morticia's doing. Petting the dragon, Zane then nodded in understanding, "So, I see. It was Morticia's fault, and that Epcor is more like her prisoner rather than her ally."

Turning to Trunks, Zane said, "Okay, if the media or the kids should get here before I return, use this."

Taking off his dragon whistle, Zane handed it to his lover and wife. He added, "Only use this if the kids return. The media, I will leave in your capable hands if they should show up. Okay?"

The sound was nothing but Amelia rolling around her room practicing her sommersaults and hitting the wall in the process.

Meanwhile, Zane took to the skies on his dragon earning stares from the people in the streets wondering what Zane was up to. Apparently, End wasn't lying when he said that there was no trace of where the kids went, but that only worried Zane that much more. He roped his dragon to head to the volcano for a bird's eye view of down below to see if the kids were down there. After all, Trunks usually goes down there himself the secret way when he wants to be alone and doesn't want anyone to bother him. And...its also the route Trunks often takes to go anywhere.

End was flying over the enchanted forest when he saw two tiny specs running. One was farther than the other and looking like they wanted their partner to slow down. He used his power to go lower to get a closer look, but sadly it was only Wednesday and Pugsley playing cops and robbers. Roaring loudly, End hoped to hear for something, something that indicated of the children, but no dice.

The two got to the volcano's lip and peered down. Zane asked his dragon if End could see anything down there out of the ordinary. End shook his head no. Now Zane really feared for his little ones. Where could those two have gone in such a hurry?

Just as End was about to take off again, Iori was down below and calling to them, "Yo! Zane, End, get your butts down here! I have two little devils that belong to you!"

Zane never thought he'd actually be relieved to hear Iori's voice at that moment. Iori had found the kids. End obeyed his master's commands this time and through the volcano and up through the dungeons and into the restaurant they walked. Then, in one corner of the restaurant in tiny cuffs no less were the children. Morticia was trying to get out of them cussing up a storm (seriously a storm was brewing above her head for the amount of swear words were coming out of her mouth), whereas Epcor guiltily sat quietly knowing the trouble that he was in now. He couldn't fully blame his part on Morticia, though it was her idea to tell the media about it.

Whistling for Epcor to come to the dragon and for Morticia to stay put, Zane then asked his son, "You okay, Ep? You had Trunks and I very worried. And how come were you hanging out with Morticia of all people?"

Epcor just hugged End and wept, "Oh daddy, I was so scared! I didn't wanna tell them, I swear I didn't! But Morticia...she...she made me! She pointed out how you and mommy are always out of the house and how its not fair that End had to watch us and..."

Zane helped Epcor onto the dragon and removed the cuffs from Epcor's wrists. "End, take Epcor home. I am going to have a word with Iori and Morticia. Oh, and Epcor, tell Trunks that I am with Iori who found the two of you. That's important. If you do tell Trunks the same thing you told me, then I forgive you for what you did. Be thankful that Iori found you and not Wednesday or Pugsley. Them two kids could have put you and Morticia in a lot more danger."

End nodded and obeyed.

Morticia just folded her arms thinking that Epcor was such a snitch and that he had no sense of adventure. Zane talked with Iori for a bit about finding the kids and such where Iori revealed that until 5 minutes ago, Epcor and Morticia would have gotten roasted playing so closely to the volcano. If it wasn't for Dee informing Iori that the two were in fact down there, as a hunch of hers, then those two kids might have been dead by the time Zane had any clue of where they were.

It made much more sense now of why Epcor was crying. "You are in a lot of trouble, young lady," Zane spoke firmly to his daughter, "But I am not going to punish you here. Too many witnesses if you get what I am saying."

Morticia gulped, thinking the worst as was the idea Zane had. He wanted her to worry to think about the seriousness of what she did and to think what Trunks might do considering that for the moment Trunks was stuck in blood elf mode.

Zane took Morticia home via a newer shortcut where there was actual steps that led to a hidden panel within the Truesdale Manor. Morticia was sent to her room and to make sure that she didn't escape, Zane had his entire fleet of dragons guarding all exit routes that she could escape from and with the order to eat her if she dared try to go rogue.

Then Zane returned to where Trunks was and told him everything that Epcor didn't already. Epcor was also sent to his room, but more on the notion to relax, you're safe now rather than punishment.

Zane replied, "I think the being put into handcuffs at Iori's was enough punishment for Epcor. He knows not to do it again. Though that is a good question about Morticia. One thing is certain though, she was named well. Her name meaning death. She has more saiyan in her than Tuffle and she got that from your side of the family. Remember, you are half saiyan thanks to Raditz, but unlike Raditz, you don't enjoy the violence and the trouble making that Raditz does. Well, after we finish eating, or rather after I finish eating, we'll go to your parents and we will take Morticia with us. I think having a serious discussion with both Raditz and Vegeta might be the avenue we need to help channel that troublemaking side of our daughter for the greater good. Maybe Dee'll have suggestions, who knows?"

Before Trunks could even ask, Zane said, "I am going to get Iori over here to watch the other kids while we are out. And perhaps Corrigan can have some fun with Amelia too. Corrigan and Amelia sure do get along. Perhaps because they are both curious types and adventurous in the right way."

Iori had arrived and he did indeed bring Corrigan. "I hope you fellas don't mind that Corey tagged along. He's been begging me to get him to show Amelia some of my collectibles with the promise that nothing bad happens to them. That's what's in that cart that Corey is dragging."

Zane just finished eating too when he hollered, "Come on in Yagami. Amelia's upstairs Corrigan. Oh, and while you're up there Corey, could you do me a teensy favor and get the dragons to bring Morticia down here?"

Corrigan nodded, "You bet I can! Oh, but is it okay if I give the dragons a little treat ya know...I am still a bit scared of em?"

Zane chuckled, "Yeah okay. If it will ease your fear."

Corrigan lifted the heavy oversized treasure chest and heaved it all the way up the stairs to Amelia's room then gave the dragons guarding Morticia's room the treats requesting that the dragons bring the trouble maker down.

The purple dragon who appeared more human than dragon pet Corrigan while the green dragon and the blue one brought Morticia down the stairs as if she was their prisoner.

Corey smiled at the affection then knocked on Amelia's door. "Amy, its me, Corrigan! And I brought tons of stuff!"

"E...nter....ohh..."Amelia groaned.

After entering, Corrigan couldn't help but gasp and rushed to Amelia's side. "Trunks, Zane get up here!" The little tyke shouted as loud as he could, "Something is wrong with Amy!"

Zane saw that Amy looked like she had been poisoned or something for she was paler than the Albino drake that Trunks enjoyed riding all the time. "Trunks!" Zane commanded, "Get that first aid scanner your mom got you. I just hope this isn't too serious."

Corrigan stepped back wondering what could have happened. Epcor had heard the commotion and cautiously walked into the room without so much of a knock. "Daddy, there is something I forgot to tell you and mom. Before Morty and I took off for the cano, Morty had put some white powder stuff from your studio and put it in Amy's drink. She said that the powder would only make Amy tired, not sick! She lied to me, daddy! She didn't know what the powder could do. She made me swear not to tell you!"

Zane's heart nearly stopped the second that he heard that. "Corrigan," Zane said, "Tell Trunks that we need to cancel the meeting with your mom. We gotta take Amelia to the hospital. And tell Trunks that Iori is going to be taking Morticia to your mom for punishment. I cannot deal with her rationally anymore and I cannot standby idly any longer. This has become a matter for the secret society and your mom is the chief of it."

Corrigan obeyed without a single moment longer to wait.

Zane caressed his daughter's face and said, "Just hang on, sweetie. Everything is going to be okay, I promise."

"Papa," Amy said weakly, "Am I going to die?"

"I hope not, sweetheart. Just stay as strong as you possibly can and whatever you do, try not to fall asleep, okay?"

"Okay."

(This for dramatic purposes. Gotta put a bit of a heart stopping moment in there)
