Title: Eat Your Heart Out II: Nightmare
Post by: flames on June 08, 2008, 05:08:33 PM
(Part 2 of Eat Your Heart Out. Same rules, terms, conditions and history of characters apply, although new people can join too. This was created with Miayuki Isumi's permission)
Everyone just stood there in front of the TV store, transfixed by what horrors were shown as channel by channel faded into static. As the last channel displaying the emergency broadcast faded from view, Flames spoke up, breaking the cold silence: "It seems this nightmare has only just begun..."

People everwhere around the world were suddenly falling under influence of the disease they had fought against so hard. It had mutated once more, leaving countless different variations of the disease, ranging from the common original version all the way up to the thankfully quite rare Sorrow Beast strain. Judging by what had happened to the people in the broadcast, almost all of the US was taken over and it was rapidly spreading to the other continents.
The wind picked up even more as dark and forbidding clouds blocked the sky from view. Rumbling was heard in the distance as thunderclouds threw bolts of lightning at towns in the distance, signs of far more fierce winds and torrential rain evident on the horizon.
Indeed, the nightmare had just begun...

The images on the screen faded, and Samantha turned away, a tear racing down her face. She turned to flames and sighed. "Will it ever stop? My grandchild is affected and you're bound to be as well."

Isabella sighed "If it wasn't for me Flames you, Grandma and everyone else could have escaped alive but now thanks to me your stuck here in a living nightmare that used to be our home and even worse over time the virus mutates things can only get worse" she added looking down tears welling up in her eyes once more "I am so so sorry please forgive me flames, sam, grandfather and everyone..."

"Snap out of it." Flames said in an odd tone that was forceful but not harsh or demading. "This isn't about the past or who's too blame." Flames turned around to look everyone in the eye before continuing: "Right now we have to all work together and hope. If we believe that we can make it through this and erase this plague...we can do all that and more..." He paused, a strange look in his eyes as he glanced at the stormy clouds above. "The world needs us right now and we need each other. We were able to remove the disease from this area, despite the powerful Sorrow Beast that attacked us...What is there that can stop us from doing the same to the rest of the world if we put our hearts into it? We gotta live a life free of regret if we are to enjoy it to its full, right?"

She sighed once more, walking over to envelope her beautiful granddaughter in a firm hug. She murmured encouragement gently as she stroked her hair. "I think maybe another few days before we go gallanting off to save the world is needed, nein?"

The soldier, still tagging along, shrugged. "Well, seeing as this whole thing is shaping up to be a Stephen King novel, I say we grab a plane and book it to Maine." Sarcasm, he had found, was an excellent coping mechanism. And once he was through with the sarcasm, he often had a good idea or two. "At the very least I could use a new filter or two for my gas mask. And a bigger gun. And some C4. I'll be right back."

"Fine. Take your time...!" She replied, stroking the child's hair. "I don't blame you for what happened.

She whimpered lightly "But Flames almost died because of me... Do you think I should really even be near you guys any more?" she asked whining now she was scared and that was obvious but in her grandmothers arms she felt better.

She shook her head, purring softly. "No sweetie. You need to stay with us. You worry us more when you're gone than when you're within sight." Her fingers were gentle in her hair.

Daisuke pushed to the front of the row...  Silent for a minute....
A shadow covered his eyes...
"It's a game...." He said... "All this is... is God's past time.."

She turned swiftly, steeling herself, eyes cold. "Oh, really? I wouldn't have thought of that on my own. Thanks for the insight." She growled, puffing her hair out of her face.

Flames remained oddly silent, his mind a raging sea of emotion, thoughts, ideas, plans and newly found knowledge; all kept hidden away with his cool exterior, only his eyes showing the chaos inside. He had learnt a lot about himself, who he was, who he had been and what his purpose was when he had died...but none of that mattered. The problems of the people around him, and those of the world, were more important...
"Isabella..." Flames said suddenly in that same eerily calm yet emotive tone as before. "Because of you I actually got a life to replace the grey husk of a person I once was, with nothing to tie me to this world...Because of you we managed to purgue this area from the disease and give everybody hope...When we used Spirit Unity, I took a glimpse at what you were like inside and was stunned. You have the power and will to be the one we need...When we fought off the infected ones together, we were using your Ki, skill and reflexes, not mine. You have so much potential and a strong heart to go with it..."
At this he paused before sighing and addressing everyone else in a slightly louder voice: "If we are to survive this Hellish game that we have been challenged to, we need to work together and respect one another, as we'll have to put our lives into each other's hands time and time again...I believe that we should take a few days off to recover, get acquainted and prepare for the task ahead of us, but I'm open to suggestions..."

Isabella frowned and looked down once more "Yes potential I highly doubt I will ever tap"  she shivered as she heard the other voice and got closer to flames purring knowing she was in his arms but shaking out of fear. "Why did this all have to come to be."

A figure stepped from the shadows now closer to the group taking three or four steps forward her features were apparent although she wore what looked like a traditional ninja mask and her icy blue bangs dipped past her left eye. She now crossed her arms over her chest "Everything happens for a reason that is what destiny means and frankly this is ours" she motioned the the ruins around them "Now then there is one way out... a crack in the wall they raised at the far side of town meaning our only hope in this hell to get out now then are you people with me?"

Her cold eyes scanned the room and she sat down, exhausted.

A handful of shots ring out, and a few moments later a SWAT van pulls up with the soldier inside. He hops out and walks back over to the electronics store, watching the TV's. "Alright, so has anybody heard about any safe zones, or military bases, or something we can get to?" He turns to the shadowy figure. "What, we've got a ninja now?"

Daisuke opened the palm of his hand and created a blue fireball.... "Hmm..."
'Yay us, we're all going to die...'  He thought, sighing....
"Well... Before we go, like Flames said, we have to rest..." Daisuke reminded...
"And..."  He paused, "We need a plan..."  Putting out the flame, he looked up....

Matthew sat down next to Samantha and held her gently in his arms. "Are you alright?"
Title: Re: Eat Your Heart Out II: Nightmare
Post by: Dr. Strange on June 11, 2008, 02:35:18 PM
"No.. I'm confused, terrified, annoyed, and hungry.." She muttered, hugging him tightly.
Title: Re: Eat Your Heart Out II: Nightmare
Post by: Creeping Death on June 11, 2008, 02:38:24 PM
"Well lets get something to eat then." He hugged her back tightly and nuzzled her gently.
Title: Re: Eat Your Heart Out II: Nightmare
Post by: Dr. Strange on June 11, 2008, 02:58:08 PM
She nodded, moving to stand up with him still holding her. She fell back comically, rubbing her butt. "If we are going to get something to eat, why don't we get up and go get food then?" She asked, winkling her nose as she dusted herself off.

Post by: Creeping Death on June 11, 2008, 03:13:58 PM
He laughed as she fell back and stood up holding her in his arms. "Are you alright now?" He set her down gently holding her hand.
Title: Re: Eat Your Heart Out II: Nightmare
Post by: Dr. Strange on June 11, 2008, 03:16:05 PM
She snorted. "Do I look alright?" She asked sarcastically, rolling her eyes. She smiled and kissed his cheek. "What've we got in the snack machines?"
Title: Re: Eat Your Heart Out II: Nightmare
Post by: Creeping Death on June 11, 2008, 03:18:46 PM
He kissed her back, but on the lips gently. "You seem fine to me." He said jokingly. "I have no clue what is in the snack machine so lets find out."
Title: Re: Eat Your Heart Out II: Nightmare
Post by: flames on June 11, 2008, 05:01:53 PM
"I...need some time alone..." Flames said softly to nobody in particular, walking slowly away from the group.

Her ears flattened and she looked guilty. She brushed the worry aside for the time being and followed Matthew towards the back hall, near the restrooms. It always made her wonder who in their right mind would put the snack machines next to the restrooms.

The soldier shrugs, tossing his duffle bags into the passenger side seat of the van, shutting the door, and heading for the back doors. "If you need me, I probably won't be much help anyway and I wish you the best of luck." He salutes, climbs into the SWAT van, shuts the door, and gets comfortable on one of the benches.
Title: Re: Eat Your Heart Out II: Nightmare
Post by: Creeping Death on June 11, 2008, 10:21:47 PM
"You know I never understood why they put snacks near the restroom." He laughed and looked at everything. "So what do you want? We can have it for free if you want."
Title: Re: Eat Your Heart Out II: Nightmare
Post by: Dr. Strange on June 11, 2008, 10:27:24 PM
She smirked. "Who's gonna care, right?" She smirked, shaking a coke out of one of them. Continuing to shake them, she succeeded in getting twenty assorted sodas for everyone. She pondered what the SWAT guy would want but was getting ready to rough up the chip machine.
(Get on MSN for me, please?)
Title: Re: Eat Your Heart Out II: Nightmare
Post by: Creeping Death on June 11, 2008, 10:31:55 PM
"Exactly." He laughed and helped her with the sodas so she could shake the chip machine.

She girl twitched an eyebrow gently "I am not a ninja just one who is not particluararly up for showing my looks" she muttered and watched the man go away turning the the group and shrugged "Just head my message as for me I am out I will be watching over you three" she said stepping into the shadows and soon out of sight.

Isabella sighed "Shes right we have to get out of here ..." she said following in the direction the woman had headed "Follow if you want so now I will take my leave" she said slipping her hands into her pocket.

Daisuke's ears twitched....  He muttered something.. All that could be heard was 'Unorganized'...
Sitting down, Daisuke started thinking of a plan.... "Got it."
He walked up to Isabella, "If we stay up on the roofs, we're more likely to survive.." Daisuke informed her.

Flames was quite far away from the others as he threw a punch at the air before him. He needed to train and prepare himself for what lied ahead...that and he needed some time alone...His body became a blur as he unleashed a barrage of jabs, swipes, roundhouse kicks and sweeps against his invisible foes. There was no doubt about it, he had become a lot stronger ever since he had performed Spirit Unity with Isabella. It was very likely that they still held a bond of some type between their souls...If that was true, it could make their mission a lot easier, especially in Isabella's case. Such a bond may help her awaken her inner strength...
He paused to think about this for a few seconds, also considering whether the others would stay behind for a few days to prepare or charge on ahead...He mentally shrugged before exploring the bond he sensed further, trying to understand it, to see it, to feel it. His eyes widened as he felt a strange sense of harmony and an explosion of emotion, an odd sense of unison filling his body as his eyes shut and a female presence faded into existence on the edge of his conciousness...

While Daisuke waited for Isabella's response, he blinked and his eyes turned white...
Spirit Energy could only be found in a few people...
Daisuke looked at Isabella and Flames... They both had Spirit Energy inside them...
He, himself, obviously had Spirit Energy dwelling inside him...

She laughed gently "I am not like the ninja lady I can't roof hop there hun" she said with a light smile "We should stick to the roads anyways more cover than up there hun"

"Isabella, can you hear me?" Flames thought, directing the mental pulse at the other presence. As far as he knew, nobody had ever resurrected someone they had performed Spirit Unity with, so this bond was rather ominous, with nobody in this world able to predict what the bond enabled people to do...

"Alrght, roads.." Daisuke replied, his tone mono...
