Bob would show up here in his most average appearance in the largest conference room of the Bonny Corp Building at sundown like he said. But he would bring friends with him. Introducing them in the order of their arrival into the place. Each of them would remain as statues, as they were still sleeping, not yet awake.

The statues were in this order each one looked really old and worn. Yet they have had a beauty to them, it was almost enough to make you sick if you looked at them too long. They had something unsettling about them and their eyes followed you where ever you seemed to go, reading your soul, your mind and your entire life. Their names were on the pedestal where they stood plain as day.

Sanguine Peryite"

"Namira Kynareth"

"Zenithar Sheogorath"

"Molag Bal"

"Majin Trixar"

"Xarxes Stendar"

"Dagon Maskim"

"Mara Cyrodiil"


Bob sat in the middle of the statues and he waited for people to arrive quietly. He had a couple of things to say. He hoped he knew who would all arrive and who would not. Now all there was...is the waiting.


::This meeting is protected from any surveillance equipment of any kind...magical or otherwise. Any attempt to spy will be dealt with by the power of the Abyss and his old friends. Your mind will melt and your soul will be eaten. Your body will become into the service of the ones attending the meeting until it fails them or no longer becomes useful::

He looked over at Jade and was happy to see that she had arrived.


"Yes. These are my friends, they gave themselves names hopefully you would recognize, but they are truly with out names."


He sighed, and hoped more would show up. The one he had not expected to show up at all, was the first one there. Odd things have been known to happen but this is incredible, he looked Jade over and thought she looked very nice.

"How did the...transformation go." He asked with an almost smile.

She slips through the door quietly, having forgotten the time, and notices the meeting already in progress. With a light sneeze, she sits at the back of the room, grinning at Bob.

As all the women came into the room he began to wonder what others would think of this gathering. Some would call it a curse, others a blessing. He thought of it as sheer luck he had encountered all of these beautiful women, each had their talents that were irreplaceable by any means or power, even his. Murder, Espionage, Torture, and yes even insanity. Most never appreciate the insane, but he did, oh yes he did very much so.


For a moment he would just watch, and not say anything. But it was not to last.


" Faye and Chiana, I am glad you could make it here!, Miss Valentine I see you were able to make it too, very good. I am glad to see you all here." He said quite honestly because he had meant every word.

"Our hosts should be here any minute. I think you will like them once you meet them, one of them by the name of Mary even saved my life, so you should be sure to tell her thanks for that if you think about it." He said with a smile.

Holding a piece of paper in hand she walked towards the group, seemingly walking into the area from nowhere.

Maybe he will help me...

Is all she said to herself. This "meeting" was seemingly important to her before she lost her memory, finding this letter earlier that day. It was a simple invitation from the one everyone is saying stole her precious memories.

Upon reaching everyone her sapphire eyes glanced about as she smoothed her skirt down, not saying much of anything to anyone except a simple hello to Miss Jade, looking for "Bob"

"The transformation went smoothly," Jade said with a smirk to Bob.

Her face dazzled at Faye and Yami then turned cold and emotionless as Nero snaked around her shoulders, but never shaking her off.
"Good Ev'n, Nero. Its ever so nice to see you again and yes, it would seem that we will be working together. I'm simply delighted," she said as she put on a slow smile on those crimson lips of hers.

Jade turned to Faye, never giving a slightest indication at her uneasiness of Nero at her side,"Hun, how have ya been?"

Glancing to the woman beside her, she smiles sweetly while removing her tattered wizard's hat. Chiana had tossed it into a fire recently, and it was now home to her pet mouse, Ducky.

Tucking her legs up, she sits cross legged in her chair and stuffs the hat in her lap, winces as she hears an angered "squeak!"

That manic, icy blue gaze shifts to the others arrive, quite impressed with the whole flaming business. Mmm...tasty looking woman in red...

She clears her throat and glances back to the silent Chiana. After she manages to catch her attention, she tugs a large sucker from her brassier..."Candy?"

Her jade colored eyes panned towards Anny,"Pleasure to meet you, sweets."

Her crimson lips settled into a pleasant smile towards Anny, then glanced down as she adjusted her black and green lace corset idely.
The red-headed blood-slave leaned to expose her neck and Jade only smiled and shook her head.
"No thank you. Wine will do meh fine," she said as she plunked up a glass and sipped, jade colored eyes shimmering as she looked about.

Wrath appeared outside the door and brushed her black hair from her face. Her pale skin gleemed in the light and her blood red eyes flickered over the room. She licked her lips calmly and pressed her hand to the door. Her black robes swayed with the wind as the door opened and she walked within. Her black boots clicked on the ground as she looked around.

Her eyes rested on Bob and she nodded her head. She bowed softly and smiled,"Pardon my tardiness." She said in a soft cold yet harmonious voice. She smiled and stood back resting her back against the wall awaiting Bob's words.

If you don't try then you won't know.

::She could still hear her Nana's voice inside her memories. Cadence closed her eyes to the memory. She could still remember the woman's body decaying in the hut they used to live in. Nana was still there...::

Okay, Nana... I try then.

::She was still standing outside the building and had struggled with her decision. She really didn't know how she'd fit in or what she could do other then the simple cleaning she already did for others. But it was something and she wanted Bob to know she still supported him and she was tired of certain things and was going to try and dO something about it. She had noticed others going in and realized she was late. So she did what she naturally could do... fade invisible. Her wings flapped gently and she flew near the tops of the doors as she slipped in unnoticed when others happened to open them.::

::Finally making her way in, she moved over to Bob to sit in his lap where she felt comforted .... she was still invisible, though. Then she whispered to him::

Sorry I late...

He looked over to Jade and Nero and them being..friendly, was the world coming to an end? Well maybe not but it still was an interesting site to be sure.

Then he noticed something sitting in his lap, he knew who it was immediately when she whispered to him those little words of hers, he would just smile that odd smile he usually did to her.


"You are actually right on time, thanks for showing up. Do not be intimidated by the others here, they wont hurt you. I promise." He whispered back to her in the same fashion."I know you like it here, and I do not mind either however the meeting will start soon so you will have to go sit with the others." He really did not want to sound mean or anything and he hoped he did not.

"I also do not want you to hold back any thoughts you may have if you have them, this what this is for and no matter what the others think I will listen to what you have to say as an equal to them, do not be afraid to speak if you feel the need to." He said that to her as well, not wanting to make her feeling like she had no purpose here, because she did. They all did.

When she began to look around from one being to another she began to slowly remember. Her eyes shut for a moment as she began to take this all in. She remembered her entire life to the very last detail as if everything has happened again.

"Hello Bob... a pleasure to see you."

That being said she gave a bow to him, and a pleasant smile. More or less a thank you for what he did, but now she was angry... angry at what Matthew did and what Gabe did. Her eyes narrowed as her memories scrambled into her head, she wanted to simply lash out, but remained calm in everyone's presence.

A slow smile to Yami as she regained her memories, "Welcome back."

She turned her head ever so slightly towards Nero, "Yes, transformation. Your father made me... better," Jade gave a small flex of her hand then sipped her wine, "Stronger. Faster. Deadlier. I quiet enjoy it."

She crossed her soft legs, not minding Nero anymore - seeing as she would try no harm to her for the time being.

Her jade eyes shimmered as they roamed again, then settled on Chiana.
"Hello, sweets. It's a pleasure to meet you as well," she gave a nod with a bright smile on those crimson lips.

::What? She had to move? Sad and pretty little blue's blinked innocently, bottom lip all pouty for all of 3.4 seconds before it turned into a smile and she whispered::

Okay, Bob. I's do that for yous.

::nod. She gave him a hug and then fluttered away, moving to sit in a chair somewhere in the midst of the others. She eased into view as if she'd been sitting there all along, listening, waiting, wondering...::

It was time for the meeting to begin. He told everybody to take their seats, there would not be any of this leaning against the wall stuff going on to try and make a good impression, the one they made just by showing up was good enough, and they really did not have to try so hard anyway.


"Ladies and guy...Welcome to the meeting of the minds, hopefully you will agree to what I have to say here. If not that is okay too. Now that we all hopefully know each other by now. If you do not you can get to know each other after the meeting."

He waited a few seconds before continuing.


"Alright. The first thing I would like to address in this meeting is the woefully incompetent laws of Rhydin. Anybody here can be accused of anything at a moments notice. I have never seen a law book for this god forsaken town. My point is ones who make the laws are the ones who can enforce the laws, and my friends. We should be the one making the laws around here. This place is just waiting for somebody to come in and take charge. Now Nominate me as that somebody. But I would be woefully disillusioned if I thought I could do it alone. I need you to help me. You know how people work and you have a connection to them that makes my own look pretty weak and pathetic."

"I am going to ask each and every one of you to help me create..."Order" for this town. You have all the power in your hands already. I have been called a weakling for asking for the services of women, a coward even for it, but they do not realize just how powerful you are, not like I do and always have. I have gathered all kinds of talent from all over. I value different points of view more than anything else because the things I see are not always right, nor are they perfect, I understand this"


"I am going to ask you all to ratify a set of laws for this town, and then we will enforce them, so be creative. I know you are not happy with the current situation, I want you all to have a saying in how this goes, so please if you think of something YOU would like to change, jot it down on this." A piece of paper would appear in front of each of them with a Working pen, because nothing is worse than a pen that will not work when you need it to.



This brings me to my second issue.

" Religion. This world has nothing to believe in and it is selfish and arrogant. The masses of this city alone live in constant fear of monsters that would kill with out reason or mercy and there is no hope for anybody, and really this would not be so bad. But to achieve our goals here tonight the way to control people is to give them a reason to hope for something better when they die. There is the "Sacred temple of Divine Light" but this has grown ineffective and useless, and I have my doubts about its true...light status, but that is for another time."

"Introducing, my friends. You have all seen these statues here and they all represent something interesting. To go through it all now would take far too long so I will give you the basic introduction to this plan. I intend to build a temple to these Figures. This Relgion for now is called The order of the Crimson Sun."

"My friends here have brought with them a small gift that you will beable to see once we have worked out the final details. They and I have brought an entire planet to this world, I am hiding it from everybody for now. But this planet will be the entire basis for our new Order. People believe in what they can see, and this will be seen at all times, what choice will the people have but not to believe in it?"

"If you have a better name for it please, jot the name down you have in your head for this organization, I am interested to know what you have in your minds, this is why I called you here of course."


"Continuing on. Another point I would like to focus on in this little city of ours is Technology. I plan on building a Technology research lab on this new planet of ours, and many other things on it as well. With this Technology advance we will be able to accomplish anything on a grand scale much quicker than we could before. I know some of you have already experienced some of my scientific methods in the recent past and you know they work. But trust me you have not seen anything yet."

"Also with this Lab we will be able to create our own special weapons and sell them to other cultures, this will gain us what some of you desire more than anything, money and power. What else would any business woman desire after all?"

"Another point I intend to bring up is Equal rights, I see it every day somebody is beaten down just because of who they are and for no reason at all. In my this new system all races will be equal, A human will be just as good as any dragon will be. Also Equality is paramount in the use of abilities. I intend to place dampening fields around so the ungodly powerful will be brought down to the level of everybody else. Of course enforcers of our system will be protected from these said fields in order to keep the peace. All the people in here are now considered members of the highest level of the new system...However I do not have a name for this system yet, any good ideas for it, again write it down please, we will vote on what one we like the best."



"Every good leader and his helpers need a place to live. I am building a mobile fortress on Rhydin that will not be limited by any terrain at all, it will be able to move through land, sea, air, and even space. I invite you all to live here once it is completed, you may come and go as you please."


"I do have a battleship in hiding somewhere on this planet, and now, so do all of you. I will tell each and every one of you where it is located and how to run on a more personal level. This does not mean you have to use it, consider the place to live and the ships..gifts for listening to me, even if you decide against it, the ship is still yours to keep."

"If we can not agree on the enforcement of any laws, I have another option. All Activities become legalized, but will require our authorization to actually complete them, and we get some of the cut of course. Any who do not comply will be punished, with out question, also all heroism will be outlawed. There will be no vigilantism. If you wish to be a hero you must register with us and they will work for us when some said criminals do not comply with our rulings. Any hero who does not comply with us will be sent to the education center for re-programming, or exiled, or possibly be put to death if the first two do not stick."


"This city and world is ready for a change, you have come here because you feel it too, and you know you make things better, all you have to do..is say yes...and tell me what your ideas are. I cannot wait to see them all."

With that he sat down and let them absorb what he had just said and he waited for the responses to come in.

::Nobody but who is in here for the meeting will beable to know what bob actually said unless they tell you themselves.::

It took her a moment to respond to what all Bob had said, but that one woman took the words right out of her mouth.

"I agree!" She said standing up. "If you haven't noticed not many take me as a threat. They see me more as a cute little neko until I almost killed Matthew. I may have failed that... and I apologize but we also need some order when you aren't around. People don't see us women as too much of a threat you know."

Noting that she sat back down, blushing almost. That long black tail flicked about behind her and her ears twitched ever so slightly, simply watching him with her large sapphire eyes.

Bob reached for a note he had picked up off of the bulletin board and he read it out loud.

"To Bob~ you don't know jack about me, you pathetic worm, at least i don't hide behind the shadows, recruiting women, you weakling, and as for the drinking, i don't drink that much, so why don't you crawl back under that rock you came from. No one likes you, so do this world a favor and find another universe to bug, you pest."


"Ladies this was sent to me via bulletin board not more that three days ago. He thinks that my recruiting women is behavior of a weakling, this was sent by the one who almost killed Alana Daven with a psionic attack for no reason!
And he has the audacity to call me weak, this one has no idea of what I am capable of doing to him, if he would show up long enough for me to prove it he would learn that I would never behind any one of you!"


He saw the rage in Faye's eyes and nodded to her. " You understand my thinking quite well already, that feeling you have inside of you is justified, but remember to use your intelligence first, learn how to hit them where it hurts, and make them remember it!" He said to her with a strange fire in his voice.

He then turned his attention to Wrath. "You are correct, The religion will have enforcements. As of right now you are all now considered, if you choose to accept it, Priestesses of the Crimson sun...You will have every authority that I would when I am away." He then looked to Brandon. "I have special plans for you, kid."

"Anybody else have anymore questions before I continue on with what I have to say?"

She listened to the tape carefully, and she became more and more enraged with every word Gabe spoke.

"Alright... that does it for me." She began.

She said leaning back in her chair, pulling out a cigarette and lighting it.

"Working from him wasn't that bad, but he always treated me like a stupid house cat... I really like Miss Jade's company and wouldn't like to see her head on a platter!"

She inhaled deeply a moment and then began to speak again, smoke rolling from her lips with every word.

"I knew Gabe was a bit shady... but that is just low, using women like that disgusts me."

With that said she faded back into the backround again.

Faye listened to the tape and grew quite disgusted beyond words. She worked for Gabe as well, at least she had. It was time to resign. Pulling out a cigarette herself she waited a moment to light it, looking at Jade apprehensively. Having this type of thing revealed in such a public way had to be bad enough, then Mary bringing up dealing with the situation right now? Perhaps it was best though. The guy was talking about killing her after all and in a very bad way? Not knowing her well she wasn?t sure if she would appreciate her support but she gave her hand a squeeze under the table anyway to see if she minded the gesture, she figured she could pull back if she looked like she didn?t want to be touched right now and would more then understand. With her other hand she offered her that cigarette figuring she could use one more then her.

Quietly she held back all kinds of thoughts going through her mind. She knew Gabe; he had seemed like a helpful sort. Claiming to try to help those who couldn?t help themselves or some such rubbish, but the more she heard the more she couldn?t help but think it was all in an attempt to get with her. Even the job he had offered? He had never wanted her to actually do anything or save anyone. He had called on her only to try to get her drunk and flirt with her? She also remembered now another comment that had seemed strange at the time but now fit a little better about how he had wished he had killed Sky just to avoid being in trouble with the dragon council.

She looked at Jade, her eyes gleaming with a mixture of rage on her behalf and sympathy for what she must be feeling at this moment? She hoped she could hold it together. Realize that she had to be sensible. These people seemed to care about her a great deal. Faye herself already liked her so much in their short acquaintance. Please don?t let Gabe drag her down with his deception, he?s not worth it, she prayed silently. She just hoped she would be okay.

?I say plan B is a good one too. I kind of like there being no laws but maybe some guide lines of sorts for expected behavior ain?t a bad idea. What has been going on is unacceptable and people should know they can't act this way to each other or there will be consequences.? Spoken while still looking to Jade, silently asking if she would be alright, hoping the topic change might be a good idea till she decided how she wanted to handle the matter. If she was going to be okay with what Mary had said or not... God knows Mary had good reason behind her words it seemed and if Jade didn't accept it she would be far more worried for her then she was already.

Jade listened to the tape, carefully. Her eyes shown with rage and deep sadness. A slow blood tear rolled down her cheek. She squeeze Faye's hand then her features grew colder, harsher as she shoved the tear away.

"How long ago was the tape made? Because as of now, he is on my death list," she looked to Nero, her eyes swirling crimson.

Then she stood, pounding the table with her fist.
"Men like this should NOT exist. I will NOT talerate this, neither will you so help me God. From this very moment on, the engagement is off. I will not marry scum like this," she pointing to the recorder, "Gabe should not walk this world. Betraying women like this. If he can easily give me up like that, he will do it to every woman! And NO ONE will have MY head on a platter, I'll for damn sure make sure of that. This love he calls it, is nothing but a fake! I knew it. He only wanted me for a good lay and I knew it! Women, don't let THIS go on! He'll do it to more girls," she slowly sat back down - eyes still swirling crimson. Jade looked to each and every one of them in the eyes, "The next time any of you see him, kill him on sight. And tell him it was from me - with love."

She curled her hand around her wine glass and put it to those crimson lips. She set it back down on the table, flexing her hand in rage but not showing it on her face. The glass cracked slightly and she released.

She would have said nothing at all, but she was asked a question.

"This tape is no more than two days old, I have only been here for about that long, we had this conversation on the first day I came back." She said with a quiet rage in her voice, there was always a quiet storm just behind her eyes, but this was the first time you could actually hear it.


"As you wish Jade, if I see him from this point on I will be sure to kill him for you, but I will make sure he knows it was..as you put it "With Love" She said and opened her crimson eyes at this point and looked to the others gathered there.

"This is what we fight, ladies."


Then she leaned back into her chair and waited for more responses to this.

She stayed silent through all of this and thought carefully of the words next to come. She stood again and looked around at all the inraged people who had let their blood boil too soon. She licked her lips, no emotions on her face, no emotions in her voice. She did care how the others were effected by the people around them, but she knew better then to let her emotions get control of her. She smirked and her crimson eyes met Bob's," I have news as well to report to you."

She turned and looked at the others," All of you." She said calmly as she returned to Bob's gaze," Wolvinator has made it very well known that he plans to kill me." She smirked," He's taken command of a small unit with this Kalis' help. He says he's a god... of Order and Death....." She sighed and rolled her eyes," Her to remove Bob from the world perminitly." Her hands brushed her hair from her face and smirked again, licking her black lips and sighing.

She turned to the others and chuckled," They entend to distroy anyone who follows Bob... Anyone who plans to get in their way in distroying Bob. Granted if you've been on your best behavior or made little effect in the ripple of chaos that is Rhydin then you do not need to be troubled by this pointless information. Either way we all must know that Wolv and his friends are planning for a war, as is the God and his pesants." She paused and rolled her eyes," Theron is not trusted by them however, so I do not see why we should worry our little heads about this pointless rabble."

She sat down and crossed her arms intending to wait for Bob's next words. Her eyes flickered closed but her ears were opened. She still showed no emotion, and as far as anyone was concirned, she had no heart, and they would be right. Slowly her mind lingered on that long comming battle with wolv and her energy jumped, if anything she was eager to taste Wolv's blood. She sighed and spoke again before anyone could speak a reply," I am with you Bob. I will serve as a preistess. I will murder anyone who gets in the way as well." Then she went silent, eyes still shut, ears still alert.

::It was a lot to take in. The little fae sat in the chair listening to everything. Part of what Bob was proposing seemed to make her smile...because great minds thought alike. But part of it seemed to chase the smile away and leave her with a concerned look. She was quiet as she continued to listen as the topic veered for a nose dive::

::Even though she was silent, her emotions were clearly in her facial expressions: Dumbfounded, surprised, forlorn, torn, hurt, confused and a deep sadness that ached to the core. Tears welled in her pretty blues, but only a few fell down her cheeks. She was trying very hard to keep herself together. She couldn't understand how Gabe could do such a thing. He'd never done anything like that to her. He seemed to treat her like.. family, especially after he started classes at Ravensheart::

::She had, in the past, defended Bob against verbal attacks by Gabe when Bob wasn't around. She knew how the two of them fought all the time, but had always hoped they would some day get to the point of tolerance. And in a way she saw some hope in that with the way Gabe seemed to be at school. Now as she heard this recording, she could see it might never be that way. This broke her heart, as did the words she heard coming from Gabe to Nero. If it weren't for the recording....but deep down she knew it was true::

::then there were these things that Bob was proposing. Some things sounded good to her... some order was needed and a sound guidance. But the potential for an iron fist wrapped round the place was too great... She could see it choking RhyDin until there was nothing left. No hero's? She frowned to this as the warning bell rang in her head::

::how to put it all together? The words of the Mistress came back to her. Sha'uri had been right, she could see she would have to make a choice as the Mistress predicted. She still had tears in her eyes and wiped them one after another as they fell quietly::

Yous can kill Gabe but he'll come back... and then he'll try to kills yous and it'll all just keep going round and round and make me all dizzy, and in the end nothing is better.

::Tears fell just a bit more::

I sorry he's such an ass and said those things, used women like that... but killing him ... It won't make things better, theys just gonna get worse. Theys gotta be a better way. Maybe he just needs a lesson. Maybe it'd be better to tell on him and let everyone know what he done and that way it'd be harder for him to get another woman, if the women is smart enough to stay away from him like that.

::it would actually do more then just nix his chances with women, it would mar his reputation. She knew this, but after what she heard, he deserved that much. Her tear soaked pretty blues were getting bloodshot. She turned that sad gaze on Bob. She could see he was plotting and his gaze scared her, but she cared about him too much to keep silent any more.::

Although, I gotta say, he been good with me, treats me like family. Maybe... maybe he can learn to change... or maybe he just using me, too, like a shield... cause he knows how I feel about you.

::her lips quivered. She remembered her conversation with Theron and how she defended Bob in a similar way. She remembered her Nana's words, too::

Life with no change is no life at all.... but sometimes the wrong kind of change is worse then a life with no change. We need the right changes here or this will fail.

::Yeah, she was looking intently at Bob, almost as a warning or maybe a prediction while she was still wiping her tears and trying not cry so much. For the moment, she couldn't say any more. she was just too choked up, trying to suck up the snot while wiping tears. She really needed a tissue::

She listened to Bob carefully. Cigarette still in hand she wanted to know what he had to say. When he told her about her nine lives deal she shook her head and then smiled.

"Very well then..."

That comment couldn't help but make her smile... but then she heard about the one with her cigarettes. Just lighting another one when he said it she looked at him, then to the cigarette.

"Old habbits are hard to break I guess..."

She pulled the cigarette from her lips and put it out.

"There you are... "

She smiled to him and leaned back in her chair, folding her arms across her chest and waited for response.

Wrath smiled at his question regarding Theron. She licked her lips and this time remained seated. Her eyes gleemed as her lips moved. Her voice rather harmonious as she spoke," They feel that Theron, and of course Kalis are just as bad as you. Imortals saying they're there to help them, but end the end they are afraid of the imortals showing their true colors."

She shiffted in her seat and stood slowly looking around at everyone," I say we let them make chaos among them as well. After all it works so much better." She paused and smiled as she looked around at all the women. So many of them were strong and capable of using there gender to their advantage, but she couldn't help but wonder if any of them had. She then looked towards Bob, she could see the energy flowing off of him in such rich waves. Softly her voice came again," They already seem to have some chaos in their little groups. Theron isn't trusted by those who would be of use to his cause. Kalis is gaining no progress of trust with Wolv or Ren..." Her eyes glittered at the name.

She smiled and raised her hand," One more thing, Ren is a traitor, one I failed to kill. The amout of information she knows is pointless however, after all we all know the only one who knows the full extent of Bob's plans is Bob. We all just do our part assigned to us. But I must ask each and everyone of you, that is with Bob's permission...." She looked at Bob and smiled," That you leave Ren to me... after all she is half my soul in a cowering mass of flesh." She licked her lips and looked around.

She then turned to the others," They think that having angels on their side will slow us down. Will make us afraid of advancing... Well I say to you... Let me eat their souls... I'm sure they're going to be just as tasty as Wolv's soul will be." She smirked," I will willingly share that feast with any of you..." She paused and looked at Bob," But if Bob wants torment, then I say we give him the best torment... Give him a show he'll want to see over and over." Her voice was cold, her grin was alive, her eyes were on fire, the words comming out of her mouth were enough to make her hungry for blood.

She looked at Bob," I know I won't hold back to make people scream.... You will have torment if you desire that over death." She bowed and sat back down. She closed her eyes again and fumbled in a bag before pulling out a small white vapor in her hand that glowed. She looked at it and slowly inhaled it through her lips and nose. Soon the vapor was gone along with her hunger, for the moment.

Faye sat back in her chair with her long legs crossed. She had heard Bob?s comment on smoking so she merely twirled her cigarette in her fingers as she pondered the various points brought up. Even as a bounty hunter she brought people in alive. She didn?t have in her a blood lust or a desire to hurt people but she did want to make things right. She couldn?t comment on things involving the various histories she knew nothing of so she spoke up hearing the hero speech.

?I don?t think Bob was saying that these people couldn?t do anything again. He was saying as a whole that so called ?heroes? would be banned. He was suggesting that they would register so that we would be aware of who was doing what so that people wouldn?t be running around claiming to be something good while actually hurting people? and then trying to get laid on some status symbol, pretending to be out to help people? How slimy is that? These people if they actually are what you say shouldn?t be an issue??

Then hesitating at the last minute she decided she would make a comment.

?And I don?t know this Theron but I do know that the first night I met you I was drugged by some asshole that had kidnapped me and was trying to really work one over on me.? Anger flashed behind those beautiful emerald eyes, lighting them on fire. ?Some of the crap we?ve been talking about that goes on around here I guess. People abusing their powers and what not behind the scenes that usually goes unnoticed. But you, a complete stranger took the time to stop and help me, most of the people here would not have bothered. Then later on you gave me a job so I didn?t have to keep chasing dangerous bounty heads like that, got me out of the Red Dragon Inn and I could never thank you enough for all you?ve done for me.?

She nods firmly to him as her eyes return to their cool normal shade and just smiles at him before sitting back in her chair once more.

"Heroism should be organized, false heroes should be stopped, and real heroes should all work for the same thing, when ever they decide to actually do any work."

"My sweet lady friends you may or may not have noticed. Too many people are willing to do too much to you because you would stand beside me. I will not risk your safety for my sake. I am immortal and do not fear death, but I would miss you all terribly if you died for any amount of time, granted I can bring you back to life from the great beyond, but this is not the point. "

"I have entombed my self just now to try and protect you all from the evils that the so called good people of the world do."


"You are all priestesses of the Order of the Crimson sun and your crystals are here for the taking."

Crimson crystals of an unknown material appeared on the desk, one for each of of them.

"These are the keys to your own personal battleships I promised you. Each of them are connected to your minds so each and every one will be perfect just for you and they will respond to your minds. You can summon them as you wish, and when ever you wish too"

"If you wish to summon me for any reason it must be a collective effort and you must understand the danger you put your self in, I do not wish to be the cause of your harm any longer than I have been."


"I do this of my own free will and you will all be safe from my enemies, You are all friends I hope you can become that way in time. I realize you should all get to know each other better before we continue on this journey. No sense in getting to the point of no return and finding out you ladies can not stand each other."

"Thank you for supporting me, I hope you can support each other in the same way. I have made summoning me not so easy and turned it into a morbid, yet a group effort. It is a blood offering a single drop of blood from each of you and blood from one of our enemies. This will open the portal and allow me to return to the world, do this when you are ready to continue on with the journey"

With those final words Bob's form simply faded from view and was gone, he was seeing how well the team would stick together on their own, this was a test of commitment and interpersonal friendship of the group, kinda like a reality TV show, with out the cameras.
