Mekah turned into a little girl. Her skin was purple and Jade, her hair white. "You should not have done that, I can feel your aure waning. Give me the staff. Just for a little." She held out her hands in a selfish manner. "I will return it, and my brother created it. I cannot use it's power long-term like you." Her hair was long, down to her feet, but perfectly straight. She didn't use this form often, but ket it in clean condition.
Smith would not wake, as he was still dead. His features were frozen in the horrified expression he held before he died. He had started thawing, and it looked like he was sweating. Magnum at the front wheel shook his head. "Hello Damanuse. I can't imagne how hard this is for you to hear, but he's gone..." A single tear rolled down his cheek, his favorite student dead. "I will do what I can for you though." He looked up, turning swiftly into a dark ally.

Damenuse dropped Smith "Yeah, of course...I figured as much....Magnum?" Damenuse looked down gripping his hand, that scrappy war-torn hunk of sheet metal. "Do you think it would be possible...To make me human again?"

"No" said Nycista as she struggled to her feet, still weak, but she was slowly gaining her strength back...
"I have done my part, repaid him...now we are even" Nycista clutched the staff in her hands as she turned away from them, as her wings rose out of her back, the flared them out as if to take flight.

Mekah reached out, her hand stretching to the back of her head, bringing her down "And I need to heal you. It is one thing to make you equal with my mother. That staff is well-cared for, and with an honest heart weilding it. That is what it has always desired. I just require the staff shortly." She said it without feeling, almost monotone
Magnum sighed "Completely, but its going to be near impossible unless we can get out of here." He motioned to the city, on a map displayed on the dash "As you well know, the government doesn't like those who defy it. Smith tried years ago. He never wanted to be part of this. It's too big, even for me." He hung his head for a second, but then raised it again "Anyway, we just have to avoid the airports and borders, think you can find us a way into Maine from here?"

"I don't need your help." hissed Nycista, her mental barriers sliding back into place, giving others the impression of a cold and easily angered young woman. She would not allow aid by either Jehah or his familiar, it would make her indebted to them once again, and that simply would not do. And besides Nycista did not trust Jehah's familiar in the least.

Damenuse ran a GPS from his com link system, it brought up a hazy grid map. "The government is trying to disrupt the signal, please wait.....finished...Take a right." Between a constant game of cat and mouse Damenuse called out specific turns and routes to lead them to their destination.

Mekah's eyes filled with tears. "But you need it. Jehah needs you here more. I know how you must fel about your debt, but it will be repaid if you stay with him...us a little longer." She truly looked like a little girl now, with the tears. She actually felt fear of losing Jehah, and also wanted Nycista to stay, even if it was just body warmth.
Magnum took turns at the right places, and was soon at the border, going hundreds of miles an hour, yes hundreds, as the van slid broadways around a powerturn, and shot out wings on either sides, lifting into the air. "Yahoo!" He screamed, as it first lifted, and stayed in the air.

"You're gadgets are impressive Magnum as always, but wings on car like this? You've got some very lousy taste magnum..." Damenuse sat back as he watched the readout status from the outlet charging him.

"He will live...I saw to that" Nycista said, "So don't go trying to make me pity you or him...I have repaid him for saving me, I fought with you aganist our enemies and healed him...what more would you ask ?" she demanded.

"Haha, you know the government mandate: hurt the environment with as many vans as you can!" He laughed at his own joke, but the car was stopped, its contents shooting out of the front window as it did so, as if the van caught something. It was another robot similar to Damanuse, though actually sleeker and newer, with armor like Smith's
Mekah sat next to his head and placed his head in her lap. "That spell drained him completely-emotionally physically, energeticly. He has forsaken love for my mother.... He is an unlucky man for my mom to have chosen. He is truly alone now... Except for me and mother. He just needs someone to trust, and help him. I will make sure he does not try to persuade you to join mother, and I do not mean you are to love him. He needs someone human, he needs a friend, a spot I could never fill, as his master's daughter..." She bent down and kissed him on the forehead. "While he is healing, I will be with you. I will help with your quest, as will Jehah soon." She looked down at him, stroking his hair with her fingers, truly loving this man, unable to physically ever.

Damenuse gingerly picked up a desert eagle from Smith's old jacket and pointed at the new menace. "You won't listen to this I'm sure, you new models don't have any freedom like me-- But leave now, before I blast you in half."

Nycista grimiced as she spoke,knowing that she would probably regret her words for a quite some time. "So be it, I will stay"
Nycista's wings curled back into her back, to leave her looking like nothing more than a pale human.

Mekah looked up, her inhuman eyes ontaining emotion of grattitude. "Thank you." She turned bacl int a snake and coiled up on Jehah's chest. Jehah would dream again, of many things pertaining to his life.... and of thingd of hid next life.
The robot moved forward mechanicaly, not fearing the gun. He smiled wickedly, his monotone voice saying grimly "I am unit Dam-002. I need to destroy you so I may become your replacement."He laughed, a blade shooting ot of his wrist, and switching up to the side of his wrist.

Nycista only slid down to the ground to sit next to them, her head in her hands. Her brother would be far gone by now and there would be no point in getting upset by this, she told herself; trying remedy the anger and frustration that she was feeling at that moment.

Jehah dreamed a final dream. It was a year after he had left. Everyone was gone he knew. His mom died of a car accident, believed to be suicidal, his former fiance living in the house he had bought for both of them. He walked from one house to another, before stopping in front of it. It was a normal mid-eastern home, painted freshly, and re-done with some different landscape. Jehah, his hair now a slightly bluer hue, and his eyes aqua-marine, looked in through the front bay window. It seemed she had lived alone since he had gone. She had barely any decorations, and everything seemed desolate. A drawing he had drawn for her was framed over a mantel, in perfect veiw of the front window. It was midnight at the time, so Jehah did not expect her to be awake. He crept in through the back door, remembering where they had hidden keys, and she had not moved them. He entered slowly, and was surprised the door didn't creak. He looked around, confused at the boxes. He walked up the stairs, and saw Jenna sleeping, next to another person... Her ex-boyfriend before Jehah. Jehah's eyes widened with emotion, but he kept quiet. He kneeled next to her on her side of the bed, and looked at her soft features. He regretted nothing, but wished Jenna could be with him like she used to. He kissed her cheek, and wrapped a Aqua colored stone ring around her ring finger. It was the ring he would have used if they had married. He saw it only right to give something he no longer had use for. He rose, a tear falling from his cheek onto her hand. He turned, and walked to the stairs. He wept silently, and as he was about to go, he heard her soft, beautiful voice. "James... I always loved you" He turned, but she had talked in her sleep. She held the ring close to her lips, almost kissing it. He went down the stairs, and to the kitchen table. It had airplane tickets on it to Chicago. He needed no further convincing. Whoever this new man was, he was right for her. The wedding license was even on the table. He left, and saw no more of the house, tears on the sidewalk.
