“Okay, I think we’re far enough away from the Dark ngựa base,” A very worn out Trenton đã đưa ý kiến through a heavy breath as he slowly began to slow his running speed to a walk, stopping soon after. He quickly turned his head back to look at Kyle, who was beginning to slow himself down as well; Kyle immediately doubled over and placed his hands on his knees upon stopping and began panting. “I doubt Vice will come this far out to find us, and even if he does.”
Kyle continued to stay doubled over until he managed to regain his breath and look up at Trenton. “What do we do now? Even if bạn think we’re safe, how can we know for sure? Also, what are we going to do?! Did bạn see how powerful Vice was?! How can we take him on without getting ourselves killed?! He’s going to be unstoppable with just bạn and me to fight him! I don’t even think Azarika coming back to help would do anything for us! He’s too powerful!”
“We just need thêm help. He’s not too powerful to defeat, he’s just too strong for only two people to take on at once,” Trenton đã đưa ý kiến as he stretched his back out, cringing slightly as his back gave a slightly loud pop. “We need to get someone like Mancer to help us out.”
“Mancer!” Kyle’s eyes widened in surprise at the mention of his Nighless teacher’s name as he listened to what he and Trenton had both spoken. “I didn’t even think about Mancer! Yeah, we need to meet him hoặc call him hoặc something! Surely he can take down Vice! hoặc at least slow Vice down! Can we get a hold of him?”
“I can call him, yes,” Trenton replied as he quickly pulled his phone out of his pocket and called the masked Nighless. Kyle waited with a worried expression on his face, hoping that Mancer would answer the phone, but a sudden thought that came up on his mind made him decide to speak to Trenton. “Hey, wait a minute! What about me?! What do I do about going home? My parents, siblings, AND Ruby and possibly I2 are going to be worried sick when they see that I’m all beat up and hurt like this!
“You told your parents that bạn were going to spend time with a friend earlier,” Trenton replied as he listened to his phone ringing. “I’m sure everyone will think that you’re just having a lot of fun with a friend so that’s why you’re staying gone for a while. However, if you’re so worried about that, bạn can call your parents right now and tell them that you’re doing fine and you’ll be trang chủ later while I try to get a hold of Mancer.”
“But I would be lying to them if I told them that I was fine! I’m hurt! And we might be getting into a fight with Vice soon!” Kyle đã đưa ý kiến as he threw his hands up into the air, wearing quite a worried and guilty look on his face. “I don’t like lying to my parents hoặc anyone for that matter!”
“Then just tell them that you’ll be trang chủ later!” Trenton đã đưa ý kiến with a slightly annoyed tone of voice. “Just tell them that and you’re still with-“ The bat stopped in the middle of his sentence to Kyle as he finally heard Mancer answer the phone with a simple hello. “Mancer! It’s Trenton. There’s a bit of a problem going on here.”
Kyle wanted to talk to Trenton more, but now he didn’t like the idea of interrupting the conversation with Mancer; he watched as the bat turned his back to him and started giving Mancer a quick summary of what happened in the Dark ngựa base through the phone. Kyle lowered his head down slightly as he tried to think over what he wanted to do; he didn’t want to lie to his parents and say that he was okay, but then he felt like he should call his parents so they and his family didn’t start to worry about him. As he went back and forth between the two thoughts, he finally sighed and gave into his want to call his parents as he took his phone out of his pocket. He quickly dialed his mother’s phone before putting the phone up to his head so he would be able to hear his mother’s voice; it didn’t take very long at all for her to answer.
“Kyle? Is something wrong?” His mother’s voice asked through the phone, which made the hedgehog cringe slightly.
“No, nothing’s wrong,” Kyle said, trying to sound as reassuring as possible, though his ears still drooped down at what he had said. “I was just calling to let bạn know that I would like to stay out with my friend a little bit longer. If that’s alright with you, that is. I can come trang chủ if bạn need me to hoặc if bạn really want me to come back,” He added. He didn’t like the thought of not being able to meet with Mancer, but he figured it would be thêm respectful and kind to his mother to say that he would come trang chủ for her if she wanted.
“It’s fine if bạn stay with your friend for a little while, Kyle. Just make sure that bạn come trang chủ before it gets too late, alright?” She đã đưa ý kiến with a gentle tone of voice.
“I promise I’ll do my best to get trang chủ before it gets late. Thank you, Mom. I tình yêu you,” Kyle said, putting a slightly relieved look on his face when he received his mother’s permission to stay out. His mother replied bởi saying that she loved him as well before telling him goodbye and hanging up. Kyle put his phone back in his pocket and turned to see if Trenton was done speaking with Mancer yet; the bat seemed to just be hanging up once the yellow hedgehog turned to look.
“Mancer đã đưa ý kiến that he wants to speak with us as soon as possible, and he đã đưa ý kiến that he’ll meet us at a park in the Rasoul Dimension,” Trenton đã đưa ý kiến as he turned to Kyle and put his phone away. “Are bạn ready to go?”
“How are we going to get to there? Mancer had to take me to the Rasoul Dimension last time!” Kyle said. “How can we go and meet him if we can’t get to the Rasoul Dimension in the first place?”
“Did Mancer tell bạn that any Nighless has the ability to open a portal to the Rasoul Dimension?” Trenton asked as he began to form Rasoul energy around both of his hands. He began charging the Rasoul energy up, preparing to open a portal which would lead to the Rasoul Dimension. “It will take a few minutes, but I can easily take us to the Rasoul Dimension.”
“If bạn don’t have enough Rasoul energy to make a Rasoul Cloud, then how in the world can bạn make a full portal?” Kyle questioned, wearing a confused look on his face.
“The portal doesn’t actually take any of my Rasoul to make,” Trenton replied. “Well, at least not much. I can take a single Rasoul Projectile and charge it up to make a portal. It’s just a natural ability that a full-blooded Nighless has built into their bodies.”
“Oh, well… I guess that makes sense,” Kyle said. He watched as Trenton continued charging up the Rasoul Projectile, watching as the sphere began expanding slowly. Kyle simply stood there in wait, taking a deep breath in an attempt to relax for a few moments after all of the running that he had done to get away from Vice.

“Azarika? We’re here now. Where are you?” Devin questioned as he turned around in a circle, looking at all of the trees that were surrounding him; he was in the middle of the woods along with Astra, Willow, and Sniper. They had all received a phone call from Azarika asking them to come and meet him, and they had all just arrived in the area where they were told to go.
“Maybe he’s not here yet…” Sniper đã đưa ý kiến quietly as she looked around the area. “But… He’s almost never late normally… Do bạn think Vice got him?” She asked with a worried look on her face.
“Do not worry about me, I am perfectly fine,” Azarika’s voice called from behind the former Dark ngựa members, which caused them all to turn around and face the cáo, fox who wore a slight grin on his muzzle. “Thank bạn all for coming. And yes, I am punctual, hoặc at least I am usually. I was waiting here, though I was back in the cây line just in case Vice had looked for us.”
“Speaking of Vice, what happened? Why did he attack us like that? We’re his friends!” Astra said, watching as Azarika walked over to the side and climbed up onto a large rock that sat tiếp theo to the trees. “Did something happen? Also, we all discussed this on our way here, but why can’t we remember what happened? Do bạn know that at all?”
“I have some ideas on what happened,” Azarika replied with a nod as he sat down on the rock that he had climbed on. “That and I was filled in on what happened. We were all under a hypnotic-like mind control, which is why bạn could not remember what had happened when the mind control broke its hold on you.”
“Wait a minute, if we can’t remember what happened since we were mind controlled, if that’s true, how can bạn remember what happened? hoặc at least how could bạn have remembered what happened to be able to ask someone to fill bạn in? And who even filled bạn in on something like that?” Astra asked with a voice of disbelief.
“Who filled me in does not exactly matter at this point. một giây of all, I do not think my mind control was as strong as yours. I could remember a few things from when I was under control, though they were very foggy,” Azarika said. “What does matter at this point, however, is how much bạn know and how much bạn do not know at this current moment. Can bạn remember anything at all through that fog in your mind?
“I think I remember seeing Vice… and all of you… but that’s all …” Sniper đã đưa ý kiến quietly, trying to think over what Azarika had said.
“That’s pretty similar to what I remember,” Devin said. “I can’t remember anything from that big gap.”
“That sounds about right,” Astra said, thinking over what she could remember from before the blank in her memory.
“Alright then, it looks like I am going to have to sit here and fill bạn in on the specific details of what happened,” Azarika added with a sigh. He slowly took a deep breath, preparing to launch himself into a speech.
.................................................................................
Kyle and Trenton stepped out of the portal and landed on one of the Rasoul Dimension’s sidewalks “I know where the park is from here. Let’s go.” Trenton said.
Kyle quickly began walking forward, following Trenton as the bat walked. “Hey, Trenton? What do bạn think the Dark ngựa are up to right now? Do bạn think they’re doing okay? bạn don’t think Vice got them again, do you?”
“Why are bạn suddenly asking about the Dark Horses?” Trenton asked in what sounded like a slightly surprised.
“I was just trying to do something to pass the time…” Kyle replied as his ears drooped slightly. “I’m asking because… well, I care. Once bạn told me that they were honestly being mind controlled, and when I saw how Azarika was diễn xuất and how he wanted to protect me and the other Dark Horses… well, I don’t want Vice to get them again. I don’t want them to be attacked again and I don’t want them to be controlled again if it can be prevented.”
“Well, I suppose it shows you’re not heartless,” Trenton đã bình luận as he continued towards the park. “I don’t know that for sure, but I’m going to guess that Azarika is gathering them up to keep them away from Vice. I’m pretty sure he has all of their numbers since he was working with them. Plus, I actually know that they were all Những người bạn before the mind control.”
“So bạn think they’ll be alright… Okay then, I’ll try to stop worrying…” Kyle took a deep breath. He looked around, observing his surroundings as they walked in an attempt to figure out if they were close to the park yet. “I came here with Mancer before, though the area wasn’t exactly burned into my brain. Are we getting close yet?”
“We’ll be there shortly,” Trenton replied as he continued walking forward.
“Oh, alright then... “Wait, why couldn’t bạn have just made the portal go straight to the park?”
“Because I didn’t have enough energy left to make it reach that far,” Trenton replied. “Let’s just keep moving.” Kyle wanted to reply again, but he just decided to simply nod his head and continue after Trenton.
.................................................................................
“So that’s what happened… We all turned into some kind of mini gang and started attacking someone named Kyle?” Devin questioned Azarika, who was still crouched down on hàng đầu, đầu trang of the rock that he had climbed upon. “And we attacked other people, too? Even a Rasoulin Seeker?”
“Before bạn worry,” Azarika replied, “no, as far as I know there was not a single person who was fatally harmed. bạn do not have to worry about that.”
“I have a question,” Astra said. “If your mind control broke at the same time as ours, how would bạn have known to ask someone to fill you? How would bạn have even been aware that bạn were under mind control? bạn would have been just as clueless as we were and still are.”
“My mind control broke before yours did. Plus, if bạn have already forgotten, I đã đưa ý kiến that I could remember a few things, though I still had to ask someone exactly what had happened,” Azarika replied. “During a discussion with the mind controlled Vice, mine broke off, hoặc so I at least think. He stood there and told me what he was planning to do with the Rasoulin Seeker’s Rasoul. After I heard that, I went and told… well, think about who all Vice knows and bạn should be able to figure out who.”
“…Alright then, I have a guess,” Willow said. “Is there anything else that bạn can tell us?”
“That was all the filling in that bạn needed,” Azarika said. “Or at least that was the quick and basic summary of what happened. The tiếp theo thing we need to do, however, is go speak with bạn know who. He told me specifically over the phone before I gathered bạn up that he wants to speak with all of us about stopping Vice. As I already told bạn while explaining, that Rasoulin Seeker Rasoul warped his mind and caused him to attack. He is no longer under mind control, but we need to do something to bring him back to his senses.”
“Does that mean we’re going to head to the Rasoul Dimension?” Astra questioned; Azarika simply nodded to the chó sói, sói female’s câu hỏi before quickly beginning to form Rasoul energy around his hands.
“We should get going as soon as possible and not waste time bởi waiting. I will get the portal started,” Azarika began to charge the Rasoul into a portal to the Rasoul Dimension. “Hopefully we will be able to assist and bring Vice back to his normal senses while at the same time keeping him from falling back into a mind controlled trance.”
.................................................................................
“Mancer! Hey! It’s Trenton! I brought Kyle!” Trenton called out across the park area to the red haired Nighless hybrid who stood near a tree. Mancer turned his head to look at Trenton and Kyle, but he didn’t yell out to them and simply waited until they had gotten closer to begin speaking with them.
“I was growing a bit impatient,” Mancer commented. “I know it hasn’t been a long time, but this is urgent and should be taken care of before the problem gets worse,” He turned his head to look at Kyle. “Kyle, are bạn alright?”
“Well, I’ll admit I’m really sore, but I know that we needed to come and talk to you,” Kyle replied “Now what are we going to do? bạn đã đưa ý kiến that stopping Vice is extremely urgent and that it needs to be taking care of. What do bạn have planned?”
“I know for a fact that we’re going to need thêm power,” Mancer replied with a rather serious look on his face. “For that reason I’ve already informed my brothers before bạn got here that we were going to need their help to take on Vice. Also, I had another idea for help, as I don’t think all of us will be enough bởi ourselves, but… well, I’ll just be completely honest with you. I think we may need to get help from the Rasoul Embodiments.”
Trenton’s eyes widen slightly at what Mancer had đã đưa ý kiến as if he was surprised, but his face soon returned back to normal appearance; Kyle’s face, however, was a completely different story. If Kyle’s jaw had not been attached to his face, it would have surely fallen off and landed on the floor. His eyes also went wide enough that they could have been mistaken for plates. “Are bạn serious?! How in the world can bạn just walk up to them and ask someone like that for their help in such a small situation like this?! I know bạn đã đưa ý kiến it was urgent, but surely it’s not urgent enough that people as powerful as that would help people like us!”
“I’d rather bạn not yell in my ears,” Mancer đã đưa ý kiến with a blank expression as he turned his back towards Kyle and Trenton as if he was preparing to walk away. “Now, we’ll never know if the Rasoul Embodiments are going to help us. The only way we can know if they’ll help us is to go and speak to them ourselves. My brothers know about this as well, and I actually asked them to meet us there at the Rasoul Embodiment’s trang chủ as well.” He began walking towards the exit of the park, walking away from Trenton and Kyle. “Now, are both of bạn coming hoặc not? This is urgent business.” Kyle and Trenton quickly followed.
“So we’re going to the castle?” Trenton asked.
“Obviously so,” Mancer replied as he left the park with Kyle and Trenton; the Nighless turned onto the sidewalk after that and quickly began making his way towards the very large black lâu đài that could be seen far into the distance. “Kyle, I would recommend that bạn be on a good behavior and try not to act TOO awfully surprised. I doubt they want someone freaking out over them.” Kyle simply replied with a nod of his head as he tried to get a grip on all of the shocked thoughts that were running around in his mind.
Upon arriving black gate that was before the large black castle, Kyle took a deep breath as a slightly stressed look began to grow on his face. Mancer and Trenton both turned to look at the look on Kyle’s face, though they didn’t say anything. Mancer quickly focused his attention back on the task at hand as he opened the gate and stepped inside the front yard that stood before the castle; Kyle and Trenton quickly followed him as he began to walk inside and walk towards the castle. Trenton kept his eyes locked phía trước, chuyển tiếp as they moved up to the castle, but Kyle looked around a bit, surprised that he didn’t see any guards standing around the castle; wouldn’t there have normally been guards surrounding such a large castle?
Upon walking up to the doors of the castle, Kyle found himself feeling even thêm stressed and worried about what was going to happen when he met the Rasoul Embodiments. Would he be able to keep his cool? Would he be able to speak to them without feeling afraid? Would they even speak to someone small like him? His mind continued to race with these thoughts, though these thoughts were pushed to the back of his mind as he focused on what was currently happening; Mancer had opened the doors of the lâu đài and he was already walking inside along with Trenton. He didn’t even realize he had followed them inside until he was already in the very large foyer of the castle. Kyle looked around his jaw dropped open, observing the extremely large room and the gigantic staircase that towered in the middle of the room. Sure, it looked like nice furniture, but he had been half-expecting something EXTREMELY expensive hoặc something with gold.
“This is the Rasoul Embodiment’s castle,” Mancer stated as he turned around to face Trenton and Kyle; Trenton still didn’t seem to be surprised, and he simply kept his eyes locked on Mancer; Kyle continued looking around the large room in awe. “They should be here somewhere.”
Kyle continued looking for a few thêm moments before snapping out of his trance and listening to what Mancer said. He simply nodded his head to his Nighless teacher, and he once again began looking around. However, this time he was searching for any sign of Mancer’s brothers. “So, where are your brothers, Mancer? Are they here yet?”
“They should be,” Mancer replied as he looked around.
“But how can bạn know for sure that they’re here? I don’t think that bạn can read their minds and know that they’re here, can you?” Kyle questioned, wearing a look of confusion on his face. Mancer started to speak to reply to what Kyle had said, but instead a voice from above them spoke and interrupted the Nighless before he could speak.
“Yep, we’re here! He’s right on target with that assumption,” Finale’s voice spoke from up near the một giây floor that the staircase would lead to. The three people on the ground floor all looked up towards the upper floor; Kyle was curious as to when Finale was going to come down and see them, and he was curious why Finale was up there in the first place unless he was looking for the Embodiments.
“Is Kurayami up there with you?” Mancer asked as he stared up at the upper floor. Kurayami spoke immediately after the câu hỏi with a simple yes, which made Mancer vượt qua, cross his arms. “Alright then, are bạn coming down hoặc not? We don’t have a lot of time to waste and I don’t want to keep Kyle here waiting for too long.”
“Keep me waiting for what-“ Kyle started to ask Mancer a question, but he was interrupted when Finale suddenly dropped down from the above floor, landing flat on his feet in front of the small group of three without appearing to take any damage. Kyle started to say something but he stopped at looked at Finale with a confused face when he noticed that the Nighless seemed to be wearing a different outfit than he was before; the Nighless didn’t seem to have any clothes on except for a pair of dark grey jeans and a black belt. Due to the fact that he was not in clothes, however, Kyle was able to notice what looked like many curving hình xăm that were the color of light golden on the Nighless’ arms, hands, and feet.
“I can bạn for a fact right now, Echilon was finally ready give the truth to you, now wasn’t he?” Finale asked Kyle with a grin, which caused the yellow hedgehog’s eyes to fly open in absolute shock and confusion. The yellow hedgehog also watched as the curving stripes on Finale’s body began to glow with a gentle golden light; he also didn’t notice it at the time, but when Finale’s body lit up with that golden light, for a brief moment golden yellow symbols appeared on his own body before quickly disappearing almost as soon as they came.
“Echilon…? Mancer, wasn’t that the name that bạn told me about before when bạn were telling me about the Rasoul Embodiments…?” Kyle asked quietly, still wearing a very shocked look on his face; Mancer didn’t say anything but continued to look at him, as if he was expecting Kyle to say a certain thing.
“You know, I really hate walking down these stairs… That’s the only thing I hate about this castle…” Kurayami’s voice called from the large staircase. Kyle turned his attention away from Mancer and Finale to turn his attention to the staircase; Kurayami was slowly sliding down the railing of the staircase since he didn’t want to walk, also glowing much like Finale was. However, instead of glowing with a golden energy, a blue energy seemed to be around him instead.
“Mancer, why are they both glowing like that? It… looks like Rasoul…” Kyle said, looking back and forth between Finale and Kurayami. “Is that Rasoul…? Also, why did they mention Echilon…? Why did they ask if Echilon was ready to give me… the truth… And didn’t bạn mention that the Rasoul Embodiments colors… were… were…“ He started to talk, but he suddenly paused in the middle of his sentence as his eyes went even wider than they had before as his jaw dropped open. He just continued to stare at Mancer, not moving hoặc not even blinking.
“I’m going to assume bạn just put two and two together,” Mancer đã đưa ý kiến as he closed his eyes with a slight grin on his face. He slowly opened his eyes back up as his own body began to glow with a red energy similar to the energies that Finale and Kurayami were surrounded with. “Yes, my real name is Echilon. Echilon Rasoulin. And these are my brothers Finale Rasoulin and Kurayami Rasoulin. We’re three of the four Rasoul Embodiments that I’ve told bạn about.”
Kyle just stood there frozen; he didn’t know what to think, he didn’t know what to say, and he didn’t know what to do. All he knew is that he felt like an Mũi tên xanh had just been shot through his body; he felt that the information had struck him like lightning and he had no idea to react to it. He slowly managed to get himself to speak, but what came out of his mouth was not exactly what he wanted to say, as he wanted to bình luận on the current information instead, but another part of him felt like this was an important thing to say. “…T-The colored Rasoul energies… I-If the colored Rasoul is… for the Rasoul Embodiments… t-then that… that means… it means…”
“I’m going to assume I know what you’re thinking here as well,” Mancer đã đưa ý kiến as his grin faded and his face went back into a very serious look. “Yes, Rasoul Embodiments are the only ones who have colored Rasoul energy. Based on what Trenton told me, I heard that bạn saw the silver Rasoul energy that Vice was using. And if you’re wondering what I think you’re wondering because of that… Yes, Vice is the fourth Rasoul Embodiment that we seem to be missing here, and our brother who has been taken under Tempus’ twisted mind control.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"What am I going to do now?!" Tempus yelled out loud to himself, falling back in the chair that he was sitting in out of frustration. "Of all the things..." He hissed through his teeth as he put his hands up and rubbed his temples; he was certainly not expecting for Vice to try to absorb a large amount of Rasoul. "He broke his own mind control and the energy pulse broke the control on the Dark ngựa as well. Great, just great. GREAT!" He tossed his walking stick made from Rasoul over to the side as he yelled once thêm in an attempt to relieve a bit of the stress and anger that he was feeling. He eventually took a deep breath before rubbing the sides of his head once thêm as he attempted to calm down; he also began trying to think over what he was going to have to do tiếp theo now that the Dark ngựa were back to normal and would no longer carry out orders for him.
After calming down at least slightly, Tempus glanced over to the side, remembering the Identity that he had taken control of. He released a quiet sigh as thoughts began to come up in his head; what if the Identity was to snap out of his mind control as well? He was worried over the fact that the Identity would most likely turn and attack him in a moment's notice once the control snapped, if it snapped.
The identity remained still. It was too quiet, unnervingly quiet. Better to have a danger speak then to have it silently wait for someone to lower their guard.
…And then a green light blasted into his residence from seemingly nowhere.
Tempus' large ears immediately stood on end as his eyes widened in shock once the green light had blasted into his residence. He immediately turned his head towards to the green light, trying to figure out who hoặc what could have just ripped through his home. "What in the world?!" He đã đưa ý kiến out loud due to pure shock.
The light vanished as quickly as it arrived, leaving a long-legged, black-suited woman, with a black face, glowing green eyes, and a hood, standing before him. Another identity. She đã đưa ý kiến nothing at first, analyzing the Nighless for the moment.
Tempus stayed still in and silent for a few moments, attempting to recover from the shock. He soon took a deep breath before speaking. "Who are you? And did bạn really have to just shoot into my trang chủ like that?"
The woman looked at his face directly, slowly smirking at his question. She then turned to the enslaved identity, and walked in front of it. “This is the Three-mood, yes?” She asked.
"I was told it was-" Tempus started to answer the woman without thinking twice about it, but once he did stop and think, he stopped in mid-sentence as a different response came up in mind. "Wait, why do bạn care? And why in the name of Rasoul are bạn in my house?"
She gave a faint jolt. “Rasoul…” She cooed in a sort of hiss of the word, “Yes bạn are Tempus, correct?”
"Who wants to know who Tempus is?" Tempus asked with an amount of caution in his voice and facial expression.
“I do.” She replied.
"Who exactly are you?" Tempus asked, narrowing his eyes slightly while still retaining caution.
“Device.” She replied casually, turning the identity’s head back and forth. “How hard was it to catch her?”
Tempus looked to the side while chewing on the corner of his lip slightly; he was debating on whether hoặc not he should answer this Device woman hoặc not. "...Well, it wasn't a walk in the park."
“You are learned. It was a battle of brawn versus brain, am I correct?”
"As a blunt and quick answer, yes."
“Do tell.”
Tempus casually explained the events; his approach, the identity’s reaction, the battle, the Third-Mood state, and the victory.
“As expected a Three-mood is much thêm prone to mind control when in a Third-Mood state.”
"Really now? That was the Three-Mood state?"
“Your mission was to find a Three-Mood, and she was taken over, and glowing red, so yes I would say it was. She probably only went into her một giây state, and I highly doubt she has experience with it. Many identities hide their abilities if they are without companions. Such cowardice is revolting considering this was a Three-Mood.”
"Hm. I wouldn't think that someone with that much power would try so hard to hide it."
“Everything is fear, and people fear what they can’t overpower. This identity probably knew that and wanted peace over rule.”
"That reminds me of a few people I know. Though one of them has a tendency to slip into a power want."
“Vice?”
"Actually I had a different one in mind but Vice is pretty much the same way. ...Wait, how do bạn know who he is?"
“We have been monitoring the activities of the Dark Horses, and Kyle Waktini also, since our ‘organizations’ shall we say, have partnered for the time.”
"Any particular reason for monitoring them?"
“Curiosity for one. The Nighless Dimension, anatomy, and Rasoul energy interests my superior who I believe bạn have already met with.”
"At this point, I'm pretty sure I know who you're talking about at this point. bạn work for her?"
Device began to open her mouth to reply but stopped herself and simply nodded with a dull bored stare.
"Very well then. I suppose that explains this.”
“You have had issues with Vice.” The green-and-black identity brought up.
Tempus slowly found himself frowning at what the Identity woman brought up. "Yes, I have."
“And your plan of action?”
"Most likely I'm going to try to prepare myself. Now that Vice and the Dark ngựa can no longer distract, Mancer and his little pet will most likely be coming after me at some point in time."
“And what makes bạn think that they cannot distract? If anything this insanity Vice has dropped into will cause quite an explosion of attention towards his person.”
"Yes, I know that would provide a distraction, and I'm sure it will. But in this situation, I feel as though it wouldn't hurt to be prepared just in case."
“Did they know of bạn before this transpired?”
"I'm thêm than sure they know about me. As far as I know, they've known for quite some time that I've been manipulating Vice."
“Then why would bạn be worried now and not before?”
"I'm worried now because I know that as soon as they take care of Vice's insanity they're going to come for me next. I've been on guard since I started this whole thing, but now I'm going to attempt to actually prepare myself. I know for a fact that one of them can just blow into a place in a quick enough manner that bạn almost never see him coming until he's punching bạn in the face."
“And have they attacked bạn already?”
"I haven't been attacked bởi anyone, no."
“And why do bạn think that is?”
"Well, I would think because they've been kept busy and away from me."
“And bạn think they will be able to find bạn now?”
"Maybe. That I'm not sure of."
“What do bạn think is the cause of Vice’s loss of control?”
"I'm thêm than sure it has something to do with the Rasoulin Seeker Rasoul that he absorbed. That stuff can cause an absolute frenzy in anyone who's not a Rasoulin Seeker themselves. They go into a vampire-like frenzy, wanting nothing but thêm Rasoul and thêm power."
“Interesting. Do bạn think that bạn yourself would have the means to stop him?”
"I'm not sure of that. I might be able to stop him bởi myself alone, but at the same time, I'm not sure if I would be willing to risk it without backup of any kind."
“Could bạn regain control of him?”
"In that state, I'm not sure. If it was enough to break the current control on him, I don't know if I could place it again in his current state."
“Well then, since bạn are their tiếp theo target, have bạn packed?”
"Have I packed what? Are bạn expecting me to di chuyển somewhere?"
“You are a priority asset to protect, and thus will be moved.”
"Priority asset? I didn't expect to be that important to bạn hoặc her."
“How shall I put this…” Device tapped her lip, “She likes bạn for your brain?”
"...I suppose that makes sense."
“Then we are off.”

Kyle just stood there in complete silence and shock, still trying to recover from the recently revealed information. “So… Y-You’re… You’re really the Rasoul Embodiments…?”
“Yep, we are,” Finale replied with a grin on his face. “Bet bạn weren’t expecting that, were you? The look on your face is priceless! So shocked and surprised. I haven’t seen anyone make a face like that at such info for a long time.”
“…Why did bạn hide that information from me in the first place…?” Kyle asked as he turned to look at Mancer, slightly ignoring Finale. “You told me that we were going to meet the Rasoul Embodiments and bạn told me other things about them… but yet bạn never told me that bạn were actually them… and bạn didn’t tell me that your name was really Echilon…”
“I know I didn’t tell bạn any of that,” Mancer said. “I wanted to keep it a secret so bạn wouldn’t immediately pressure us about using our power to attack Tempus and/or Vice head-on.”
“But why didn’t you?” Kyle questioned, wearing a slightly confused look on his face. “If bạn đã đưa ý kiến we’ll need the Embodiments’- …er… your power to stop Vice, then why haven’t bạn been using it?”
“One because there would have been no point in hiển thị bạn how to use your Rasoul abilities as bạn would have instantly relied on us to do something instead,” Mancer said. “Also, before bạn ask, no, you’re not the only one who’s been trained bởi us. Many other Rasoul users and Nighless have been being trained in the exact same way bạn are. một giây of all, it wouldn’t have been a good idea to attack right away, hoặc at least I don’t think it would have. Tempus has been gathering up Nighless for his little army for quite some time now, and if we had attacked and got Vice back right away, sure, we would have had Vice, but then we wouldn’t have gotten our own army of Nighless to go against his. We might have been shooting ourselves in the foot bởi doing that.”
“…Well, maybe I can understand that, but it’s still hard to believe bạn didn’t tell me about it sooner…” Kyle đã đưa ý kiến in a quiet voice, slowly starting to recover from the trước đó shock.
“I may not have told bạn now if I knew that we didn’t need the extra power to tackle Vice,” Mancer đã đưa ý kiến as he crossed his arms. “Anyway, now we need to come up with a plan on some kind. I’m not going to just have us charging in there headfirst.”
“What did bạn have in mind?” Kurayami asked as he turned to face his brother.
Mancer did not immediately answer, but instead turned his attention to Trenton, who still seemed rather unsurprised bởi the trước đó reveal. “Are bạn going to be staying and helping, Trenton?”
“Of course I will, sir. It’s my duty to work with you,” Trenton đã đưa ý kiến with a nod of his head; the way that Trenton had spoken greatly confused Kyle as he sounding like he was speaking to a superior hoặc a boss of some kind.
“Why are bạn suddenly speaking to him as if he’s some kind of boss to bạn hoặc something?” Kyle asked in confusion. “…I mean, I know now that he’s a really, really important person, but it’s not like he’s your boss hoặc something like that…”
“Actually I am his boss,” Mancer replied in a slightly blunt tone of voice, which caused Kyle’s eyes to go wide in surprise. “Did I not tell bạn about the Nighless Guard and the Nighless Royal Guard before? Trenton is one of the Nighless Royal Guards.”
“He’s one of the Royal Guards?!” Kyle asked in shock, which caused Mancer to frown just slightly.
“Yes, he is. I’m actually the one who asked him to go to your world and go to your school so he could keep an eye on you. I wanted him to keep an eye on bạn just in case bởi some off chance Vice hoặc one of the Dark ngựa tried to attack bạn at school hoặc something such as that. When bạn told me bạn thought he was Devin, I tried to play along with bạn so I wouldn’t look suspicious. He’s been relaying information to me ever since he went to your world. That information ranged anywhere from the world itself to what Vice and the others were up to. And before bạn say it, no, not like a stalker. I simply just wanted him to make sure that nothing was happening.”
“Okay then, I think I understand that…” Kyle said. “Wow… There’s so many surprises that I’m being told today…”
“Yes, you’re being told a lot today, and I recommend bạn recover from that as quickly as possible so we can stay on track,” Mancer đã đưa ý kiến as he turned his head to look over at Finale. “Finale, do bạn have any sort of plan that bạn can suggest to us?”
Kyle glanced over at Finale to see if the Nighless was going to speak, and he was surprised to see that Finale’s face seemed entirely different than it had before; instead of that large happy, goofy grin that he had worn before, the frown of a deeply serious person showed on his face. “A few,” He began. “We need to focus on getting Vice to come back to his senses. Even if we stopped him from going on a rampage, my guess is that he would bounce back eventually and once again try to go on a power rampage, and even if he didn’t do that, Tempus might possibly take over him again,”
“And how do bạn suggest we can bring Vice back to his senses?” Mancer asked.
“I should be able to tap into it and channel it out of him,” Finale said. “As bạn know, I’m the one with the strongest Rasoul control here. However, we’re still going to have to either beat him down hoặc hold him down in some way as I can’t exactly focus and tap into it if I’m being smacked in the face.”
“Do we know if that will work, sir?” Trenton questioned.
“Okay, first of all, bạn can stop the formal speech,” Finale said. “Just because we’re in front of Kyle doesn’t mean that bạn have to start speaking like I’m some very important person. Anyway, I don’t know if it will work, but I think that’s the best choice we have right now.”
“Now we need a way to give Finale that opportunity,” Kurayami said.
Mancer nodded in agreement as he turned his head to look at both Kyle and Trenton; the bat appeared to be waiting for orders of any kind and Kyle still seemed a bit nervous about the whole situation. “Are bạn two planning to help us?” The bat and the hedgehog simply nodded their heads. “Good, let’s get to thinking.”
.................................................................................
The Dark ngựa leader quickly dashed down the streets of the Rasoul Dimension, shoving past many Nighless and other citizens in his search; he was tracking the Rasoul of another Rasoulin Seeker. His eyes quickly scanned over the crowds looking at him in confusion as he searched for one of the vampire-like Nighless, but he was unable to see the species he was looking for and instead dashed off once again. His eyes searched over the crowds as he ran; he could easily pick them out from the crowd even in the current Rasoul frenzy that he was in.
After a few short phút of searching, Vice was able to lock his eyes on a male Rasoulin Seeker who was walking right tiếp theo to an alleyway. He could already sense the powerful Rasoul that the Rasoulin Seeker had and was intent on trying to get it from him.
The Rasoulin Seeker turned his head towards Vice. Upon seeing the approaching former Dark ngựa leader, a look of confusion quickly found its way onto the Rasoulin Seeker’s face. “Do bạn need something?” Vice simply continued approaching the Seeker without saying a word, which lead to thêm confusion for the Seeker. “Something wrong? Did bạn hear what I asked? Did bạn need to say something to me?”
“I desire your power hoặc your assistance. If bạn do not give them to me, I will forcefully take them if needed,” Vice đã đưa ý kiến through a quick hiss, quickly forming his arms into Rasoul Blades; the Rasoulin Seeker immediately began to back up with an even thêm confused look on his face.
“What in the name of the Rasoul Dimension do bạn need my Rasoul powers for? And assistance for what?” The Rasoulin Seeker questioned as he continued to back up into the alleyway; Vice continued to walk towards the Seeker with Rasoul Blades ready to attack.
“I desire thêm power. And if bạn will not give it to me, I will take it myself,” Vice đã đưa ý kiến before quickly dashing towards the Rasoulin Seeker at an extremely quick speed; the Seeker barely even had enough time to flinch before one of the Rasoul Blades connected with his stomach and sent him flying backwards. The Seeker landed roughly on the ground, releasing a quiet hiss through his teeth due to the pain. He quickly had to jerk his head up to see Vice charging towards him quickly with his Rasoul Blades raised once more. The Seeker quickly attempted to roll out of the way of Vice’s swinging blades. He was able to dodge the Rasoul Blades as they swung down and hit the ground with a clanging slam. The Seeker quickly looked towards Vice, who was currently trying to yank his arms out of the ground; his Rasoul blades stuck inside.
Vice quickly looked towards the Rasoulin Seeker and hissed as he jerked his arms upward, quickly ripping his Rasoul Blades out of the ground and towards the Seeker, who was already trying to back up and get away from the swing. The Seeker immediately turned and tried to run away from Vice further into the alley, but the former Dark ngựa leader quickly started to chase the Seeker down, closing in on the Seeker almost instantly. Vice quickly swung one of his bladed arms forward, sending a wave of Rasoul energy flying phía trước, chuyển tiếp quickly and into the back of the Rasoul Seeker. The vampire Nighless was knocked phía trước, chuyển tiếp onto the ground with a hiss.
“You will either work for me hoặc give me your power. I will not remind once again,” Vice đã đưa ý kiến as he quickly moved over to the Rasoulin Seeker with his Rasoul Blades raised once more. The former Dark ngựa leader pointed both of the blades down at the Seeker who stayed still out of slight fear of being stabbed. “Make your choice. Either one of those two hoặc I will bring my Rasoul Blades down upon your back.”
“I don’t even know who bạn are!” The Rasoulin Seeker đã đưa ý kiến with Vice’s black áo, áo khoác still concealing his identity. “I don’t know what I would be signing up for if I helped you!”
“I will not answer what bạn would be signing up for and I will not wait for a response from bạn while bạn run the conversation in circles,” Vice đã đưa ý kiến with a slight hiss. He slowly began to push his Rasoul Blades down onto the Rasoulin Seeker’s back, which caused him to hiss quite loudly from the pressuring pain that was now being pressed into his back. “You will help me one way hoặc another.”
In an attempt to try to get Vice off of him, the Rasoulin Seeker quickly began charging up an aura of Rasoul energy around himself. The Rasoulin Seeker quickly released the pulse of Rasoul once it was fully charged in an attempt to knock Vice away, but the former Dark ngựa leader simply jumped backwards. However, as he jumped back, an idea came to him. Vice waited until the Seeker quickly got up and tried to ngọn lửa, chữa cháy another Rasoul Pulse before forming his own Rasoul around the Seeker and his Rasoul Pulse, stopping the energy in midair. The Rasoulin Seeker quickly tried to react bởi trying to force his Rasoul Pulse to di chuyển through Vice’s Rasoul, but he found himself unable to force the former Dark ngựa leader’s Rasoul away.
“I have decided that I will force bạn to work with me,” Vice đã đưa ý kiến through a light hiss. “As much as I would enjoy your power, I require your assistance for my plan. And I know how to make bạn work for me whether bạn want to hoặc not. bạn will assist me in my plans.” The former Dark ngựa leader continued to hold the Seeker’s Rasoul Pulse in place as well as the Seeker himself; the Rasoulin Seeker discovered that he couldn’t move. The Seeker tried to open his mouth to yell out, but he found himself unable to di chuyển his mouth as well. Vice had managed to freeze every bit of Rasoul around the Seeker’s body, which in turn froze the Seeker. In his Nữ hoàng băng giá state he could really only stand there and watch as Vice quickly made his way over to the Rasoulin Seeker. The Rasoulin Seeker still couldn’t di chuyển no matter how hard he tried to fight back against Vice’s powers and could only stay silent and still as Vice began charging Rasoul energy in his hands once again; this Rasoul seemed to be warping as it charged instead of staying normal. Vice quickly finished charging the Rasoul and stepped towards the Rasoulin Seeker. The Rasoulin Seeker was still unable to act as he felt his own Rasoul being warped bởi the Rasoul that Vice had just shot into it. His mind was numbing, almost as if he was falling under a trance of some kind…
Kyle continued to stay doubled over until he managed to regain his breath and look up at Trenton. “What do we do now? Even if bạn think we’re safe, how can we know for sure? Also, what are we going to do?! Did bạn see how powerful Vice was?! How can we take him on without getting ourselves killed?! He’s going to be unstoppable with just bạn and me to fight him! I don’t even think Azarika coming back to help would do anything for us! He’s too powerful!”
“We just need thêm help. He’s not too powerful to defeat, he’s just too strong for only two people to take on at once,” Trenton đã đưa ý kiến as he stretched his back out, cringing slightly as his back gave a slightly loud pop. “We need to get someone like Mancer to help us out.”
“Mancer!” Kyle’s eyes widened in surprise at the mention of his Nighless teacher’s name as he listened to what he and Trenton had both spoken. “I didn’t even think about Mancer! Yeah, we need to meet him hoặc call him hoặc something! Surely he can take down Vice! hoặc at least slow Vice down! Can we get a hold of him?”
“I can call him, yes,” Trenton replied as he quickly pulled his phone out of his pocket and called the masked Nighless. Kyle waited with a worried expression on his face, hoping that Mancer would answer the phone, but a sudden thought that came up on his mind made him decide to speak to Trenton. “Hey, wait a minute! What about me?! What do I do about going home? My parents, siblings, AND Ruby and possibly I2 are going to be worried sick when they see that I’m all beat up and hurt like this!
“You told your parents that bạn were going to spend time with a friend earlier,” Trenton replied as he listened to his phone ringing. “I’m sure everyone will think that you’re just having a lot of fun with a friend so that’s why you’re staying gone for a while. However, if you’re so worried about that, bạn can call your parents right now and tell them that you’re doing fine and you’ll be trang chủ later while I try to get a hold of Mancer.”
“But I would be lying to them if I told them that I was fine! I’m hurt! And we might be getting into a fight with Vice soon!” Kyle đã đưa ý kiến as he threw his hands up into the air, wearing quite a worried and guilty look on his face. “I don’t like lying to my parents hoặc anyone for that matter!”
“Then just tell them that you’ll be trang chủ later!” Trenton đã đưa ý kiến with a slightly annoyed tone of voice. “Just tell them that and you’re still with-“ The bat stopped in the middle of his sentence to Kyle as he finally heard Mancer answer the phone with a simple hello. “Mancer! It’s Trenton. There’s a bit of a problem going on here.”
Kyle wanted to talk to Trenton more, but now he didn’t like the idea of interrupting the conversation with Mancer; he watched as the bat turned his back to him and started giving Mancer a quick summary of what happened in the Dark ngựa base through the phone. Kyle lowered his head down slightly as he tried to think over what he wanted to do; he didn’t want to lie to his parents and say that he was okay, but then he felt like he should call his parents so they and his family didn’t start to worry about him. As he went back and forth between the two thoughts, he finally sighed and gave into his want to call his parents as he took his phone out of his pocket. He quickly dialed his mother’s phone before putting the phone up to his head so he would be able to hear his mother’s voice; it didn’t take very long at all for her to answer.
“Kyle? Is something wrong?” His mother’s voice asked through the phone, which made the hedgehog cringe slightly.
“No, nothing’s wrong,” Kyle said, trying to sound as reassuring as possible, though his ears still drooped down at what he had said. “I was just calling to let bạn know that I would like to stay out with my friend a little bit longer. If that’s alright with you, that is. I can come trang chủ if bạn need me to hoặc if bạn really want me to come back,” He added. He didn’t like the thought of not being able to meet with Mancer, but he figured it would be thêm respectful and kind to his mother to say that he would come trang chủ for her if she wanted.
“It’s fine if bạn stay with your friend for a little while, Kyle. Just make sure that bạn come trang chủ before it gets too late, alright?” She đã đưa ý kiến with a gentle tone of voice.
“I promise I’ll do my best to get trang chủ before it gets late. Thank you, Mom. I tình yêu you,” Kyle said, putting a slightly relieved look on his face when he received his mother’s permission to stay out. His mother replied bởi saying that she loved him as well before telling him goodbye and hanging up. Kyle put his phone back in his pocket and turned to see if Trenton was done speaking with Mancer yet; the bat seemed to just be hanging up once the yellow hedgehog turned to look.
“Mancer đã đưa ý kiến that he wants to speak with us as soon as possible, and he đã đưa ý kiến that he’ll meet us at a park in the Rasoul Dimension,” Trenton đã đưa ý kiến as he turned to Kyle and put his phone away. “Are bạn ready to go?”
“How are we going to get to there? Mancer had to take me to the Rasoul Dimension last time!” Kyle said. “How can we go and meet him if we can’t get to the Rasoul Dimension in the first place?”
“Did Mancer tell bạn that any Nighless has the ability to open a portal to the Rasoul Dimension?” Trenton asked as he began to form Rasoul energy around both of his hands. He began charging the Rasoul energy up, preparing to open a portal which would lead to the Rasoul Dimension. “It will take a few minutes, but I can easily take us to the Rasoul Dimension.”
“If bạn don’t have enough Rasoul energy to make a Rasoul Cloud, then how in the world can bạn make a full portal?” Kyle questioned, wearing a confused look on his face.
“The portal doesn’t actually take any of my Rasoul to make,” Trenton replied. “Well, at least not much. I can take a single Rasoul Projectile and charge it up to make a portal. It’s just a natural ability that a full-blooded Nighless has built into their bodies.”
“Oh, well… I guess that makes sense,” Kyle said. He watched as Trenton continued charging up the Rasoul Projectile, watching as the sphere began expanding slowly. Kyle simply stood there in wait, taking a deep breath in an attempt to relax for a few moments after all of the running that he had done to get away from Vice.
.................................................................................
“Azarika? We’re here now. Where are you?” Devin questioned as he turned around in a circle, looking at all of the trees that were surrounding him; he was in the middle of the woods along with Astra, Willow, and Sniper. They had all received a phone call from Azarika asking them to come and meet him, and they had all just arrived in the area where they were told to go.
“Maybe he’s not here yet…” Sniper đã đưa ý kiến quietly as she looked around the area. “But… He’s almost never late normally… Do bạn think Vice got him?” She asked with a worried look on her face.
“Do not worry about me, I am perfectly fine,” Azarika’s voice called from behind the former Dark ngựa members, which caused them all to turn around and face the cáo, fox who wore a slight grin on his muzzle. “Thank bạn all for coming. And yes, I am punctual, hoặc at least I am usually. I was waiting here, though I was back in the cây line just in case Vice had looked for us.”
“Speaking of Vice, what happened? Why did he attack us like that? We’re his friends!” Astra said, watching as Azarika walked over to the side and climbed up onto a large rock that sat tiếp theo to the trees. “Did something happen? Also, we all discussed this on our way here, but why can’t we remember what happened? Do bạn know that at all?”
“I have some ideas on what happened,” Azarika replied with a nod as he sat down on the rock that he had climbed on. “That and I was filled in on what happened. We were all under a hypnotic-like mind control, which is why bạn could not remember what had happened when the mind control broke its hold on you.”
“Wait a minute, if we can’t remember what happened since we were mind controlled, if that’s true, how can bạn remember what happened? hoặc at least how could bạn have remembered what happened to be able to ask someone to fill bạn in? And who even filled bạn in on something like that?” Astra asked with a voice of disbelief.
“Who filled me in does not exactly matter at this point. một giây of all, I do not think my mind control was as strong as yours. I could remember a few things from when I was under control, though they were very foggy,” Azarika said. “What does matter at this point, however, is how much bạn know and how much bạn do not know at this current moment. Can bạn remember anything at all through that fog in your mind?
“I think I remember seeing Vice… and all of you… but that’s all …” Sniper đã đưa ý kiến quietly, trying to think over what Azarika had said.
“That’s pretty similar to what I remember,” Devin said. “I can’t remember anything from that big gap.”
“That sounds about right,” Astra said, thinking over what she could remember from before the blank in her memory.
“Alright then, it looks like I am going to have to sit here and fill bạn in on the specific details of what happened,” Azarika added with a sigh. He slowly took a deep breath, preparing to launch himself into a speech.
.................................................................................
Kyle and Trenton stepped out of the portal and landed on one of the Rasoul Dimension’s sidewalks “I know where the park is from here. Let’s go.” Trenton said.
Kyle quickly began walking forward, following Trenton as the bat walked. “Hey, Trenton? What do bạn think the Dark ngựa are up to right now? Do bạn think they’re doing okay? bạn don’t think Vice got them again, do you?”
“Why are bạn suddenly asking about the Dark Horses?” Trenton asked in what sounded like a slightly surprised.
“I was just trying to do something to pass the time…” Kyle replied as his ears drooped slightly. “I’m asking because… well, I care. Once bạn told me that they were honestly being mind controlled, and when I saw how Azarika was diễn xuất and how he wanted to protect me and the other Dark Horses… well, I don’t want Vice to get them again. I don’t want them to be attacked again and I don’t want them to be controlled again if it can be prevented.”
“Well, I suppose it shows you’re not heartless,” Trenton đã bình luận as he continued towards the park. “I don’t know that for sure, but I’m going to guess that Azarika is gathering them up to keep them away from Vice. I’m pretty sure he has all of their numbers since he was working with them. Plus, I actually know that they were all Những người bạn before the mind control.”
“So bạn think they’ll be alright… Okay then, I’ll try to stop worrying…” Kyle took a deep breath. He looked around, observing his surroundings as they walked in an attempt to figure out if they were close to the park yet. “I came here with Mancer before, though the area wasn’t exactly burned into my brain. Are we getting close yet?”
“We’ll be there shortly,” Trenton replied as he continued walking forward.
“Oh, alright then... “Wait, why couldn’t bạn have just made the portal go straight to the park?”
“Because I didn’t have enough energy left to make it reach that far,” Trenton replied. “Let’s just keep moving.” Kyle wanted to reply again, but he just decided to simply nod his head and continue after Trenton.
.................................................................................
“So that’s what happened… We all turned into some kind of mini gang and started attacking someone named Kyle?” Devin questioned Azarika, who was still crouched down on hàng đầu, đầu trang of the rock that he had climbed upon. “And we attacked other people, too? Even a Rasoulin Seeker?”
“Before bạn worry,” Azarika replied, “no, as far as I know there was not a single person who was fatally harmed. bạn do not have to worry about that.”
“I have a question,” Astra said. “If your mind control broke at the same time as ours, how would bạn have known to ask someone to fill you? How would bạn have even been aware that bạn were under mind control? bạn would have been just as clueless as we were and still are.”
“My mind control broke before yours did. Plus, if bạn have already forgotten, I đã đưa ý kiến that I could remember a few things, though I still had to ask someone exactly what had happened,” Azarika replied. “During a discussion with the mind controlled Vice, mine broke off, hoặc so I at least think. He stood there and told me what he was planning to do with the Rasoulin Seeker’s Rasoul. After I heard that, I went and told… well, think about who all Vice knows and bạn should be able to figure out who.”
“…Alright then, I have a guess,” Willow said. “Is there anything else that bạn can tell us?”
“That was all the filling in that bạn needed,” Azarika said. “Or at least that was the quick and basic summary of what happened. The tiếp theo thing we need to do, however, is go speak with bạn know who. He told me specifically over the phone before I gathered bạn up that he wants to speak with all of us about stopping Vice. As I already told bạn while explaining, that Rasoulin Seeker Rasoul warped his mind and caused him to attack. He is no longer under mind control, but we need to do something to bring him back to his senses.”
“Does that mean we’re going to head to the Rasoul Dimension?” Astra questioned; Azarika simply nodded to the chó sói, sói female’s câu hỏi before quickly beginning to form Rasoul energy around his hands.
“We should get going as soon as possible and not waste time bởi waiting. I will get the portal started,” Azarika began to charge the Rasoul into a portal to the Rasoul Dimension. “Hopefully we will be able to assist and bring Vice back to his normal senses while at the same time keeping him from falling back into a mind controlled trance.”
.................................................................................
“Mancer! Hey! It’s Trenton! I brought Kyle!” Trenton called out across the park area to the red haired Nighless hybrid who stood near a tree. Mancer turned his head to look at Trenton and Kyle, but he didn’t yell out to them and simply waited until they had gotten closer to begin speaking with them.
“I was growing a bit impatient,” Mancer commented. “I know it hasn’t been a long time, but this is urgent and should be taken care of before the problem gets worse,” He turned his head to look at Kyle. “Kyle, are bạn alright?”
“Well, I’ll admit I’m really sore, but I know that we needed to come and talk to you,” Kyle replied “Now what are we going to do? bạn đã đưa ý kiến that stopping Vice is extremely urgent and that it needs to be taking care of. What do bạn have planned?”
“I know for a fact that we’re going to need thêm power,” Mancer replied with a rather serious look on his face. “For that reason I’ve already informed my brothers before bạn got here that we were going to need their help to take on Vice. Also, I had another idea for help, as I don’t think all of us will be enough bởi ourselves, but… well, I’ll just be completely honest with you. I think we may need to get help from the Rasoul Embodiments.”
Trenton’s eyes widen slightly at what Mancer had đã đưa ý kiến as if he was surprised, but his face soon returned back to normal appearance; Kyle’s face, however, was a completely different story. If Kyle’s jaw had not been attached to his face, it would have surely fallen off and landed on the floor. His eyes also went wide enough that they could have been mistaken for plates. “Are bạn serious?! How in the world can bạn just walk up to them and ask someone like that for their help in such a small situation like this?! I know bạn đã đưa ý kiến it was urgent, but surely it’s not urgent enough that people as powerful as that would help people like us!”
“I’d rather bạn not yell in my ears,” Mancer đã đưa ý kiến with a blank expression as he turned his back towards Kyle and Trenton as if he was preparing to walk away. “Now, we’ll never know if the Rasoul Embodiments are going to help us. The only way we can know if they’ll help us is to go and speak to them ourselves. My brothers know about this as well, and I actually asked them to meet us there at the Rasoul Embodiment’s trang chủ as well.” He began walking towards the exit of the park, walking away from Trenton and Kyle. “Now, are both of bạn coming hoặc not? This is urgent business.” Kyle and Trenton quickly followed.
“So we’re going to the castle?” Trenton asked.
“Obviously so,” Mancer replied as he left the park with Kyle and Trenton; the Nighless turned onto the sidewalk after that and quickly began making his way towards the very large black lâu đài that could be seen far into the distance. “Kyle, I would recommend that bạn be on a good behavior and try not to act TOO awfully surprised. I doubt they want someone freaking out over them.” Kyle simply replied with a nod of his head as he tried to get a grip on all of the shocked thoughts that were running around in his mind.
Upon arriving black gate that was before the large black castle, Kyle took a deep breath as a slightly stressed look began to grow on his face. Mancer and Trenton both turned to look at the look on Kyle’s face, though they didn’t say anything. Mancer quickly focused his attention back on the task at hand as he opened the gate and stepped inside the front yard that stood before the castle; Kyle and Trenton quickly followed him as he began to walk inside and walk towards the castle. Trenton kept his eyes locked phía trước, chuyển tiếp as they moved up to the castle, but Kyle looked around a bit, surprised that he didn’t see any guards standing around the castle; wouldn’t there have normally been guards surrounding such a large castle?
Upon walking up to the doors of the castle, Kyle found himself feeling even thêm stressed and worried about what was going to happen when he met the Rasoul Embodiments. Would he be able to keep his cool? Would he be able to speak to them without feeling afraid? Would they even speak to someone small like him? His mind continued to race with these thoughts, though these thoughts were pushed to the back of his mind as he focused on what was currently happening; Mancer had opened the doors of the lâu đài and he was already walking inside along with Trenton. He didn’t even realize he had followed them inside until he was already in the very large foyer of the castle. Kyle looked around his jaw dropped open, observing the extremely large room and the gigantic staircase that towered in the middle of the room. Sure, it looked like nice furniture, but he had been half-expecting something EXTREMELY expensive hoặc something with gold.
“This is the Rasoul Embodiment’s castle,” Mancer stated as he turned around to face Trenton and Kyle; Trenton still didn’t seem to be surprised, and he simply kept his eyes locked on Mancer; Kyle continued looking around the large room in awe. “They should be here somewhere.”
Kyle continued looking for a few thêm moments before snapping out of his trance and listening to what Mancer said. He simply nodded his head to his Nighless teacher, and he once again began looking around. However, this time he was searching for any sign of Mancer’s brothers. “So, where are your brothers, Mancer? Are they here yet?”
“They should be,” Mancer replied as he looked around.
“But how can bạn know for sure that they’re here? I don’t think that bạn can read their minds and know that they’re here, can you?” Kyle questioned, wearing a look of confusion on his face. Mancer started to speak to reply to what Kyle had said, but instead a voice from above them spoke and interrupted the Nighless before he could speak.
“Yep, we’re here! He’s right on target with that assumption,” Finale’s voice spoke from up near the một giây floor that the staircase would lead to. The three people on the ground floor all looked up towards the upper floor; Kyle was curious as to when Finale was going to come down and see them, and he was curious why Finale was up there in the first place unless he was looking for the Embodiments.
“Is Kurayami up there with you?” Mancer asked as he stared up at the upper floor. Kurayami spoke immediately after the câu hỏi with a simple yes, which made Mancer vượt qua, cross his arms. “Alright then, are bạn coming down hoặc not? We don’t have a lot of time to waste and I don’t want to keep Kyle here waiting for too long.”
“Keep me waiting for what-“ Kyle started to ask Mancer a question, but he was interrupted when Finale suddenly dropped down from the above floor, landing flat on his feet in front of the small group of three without appearing to take any damage. Kyle started to say something but he stopped at looked at Finale with a confused face when he noticed that the Nighless seemed to be wearing a different outfit than he was before; the Nighless didn’t seem to have any clothes on except for a pair of dark grey jeans and a black belt. Due to the fact that he was not in clothes, however, Kyle was able to notice what looked like many curving hình xăm that were the color of light golden on the Nighless’ arms, hands, and feet.
“I can bạn for a fact right now, Echilon was finally ready give the truth to you, now wasn’t he?” Finale asked Kyle with a grin, which caused the yellow hedgehog’s eyes to fly open in absolute shock and confusion. The yellow hedgehog also watched as the curving stripes on Finale’s body began to glow with a gentle golden light; he also didn’t notice it at the time, but when Finale’s body lit up with that golden light, for a brief moment golden yellow symbols appeared on his own body before quickly disappearing almost as soon as they came.
“Echilon…? Mancer, wasn’t that the name that bạn told me about before when bạn were telling me about the Rasoul Embodiments…?” Kyle asked quietly, still wearing a very shocked look on his face; Mancer didn’t say anything but continued to look at him, as if he was expecting Kyle to say a certain thing.
“You know, I really hate walking down these stairs… That’s the only thing I hate about this castle…” Kurayami’s voice called from the large staircase. Kyle turned his attention away from Mancer and Finale to turn his attention to the staircase; Kurayami was slowly sliding down the railing of the staircase since he didn’t want to walk, also glowing much like Finale was. However, instead of glowing with a golden energy, a blue energy seemed to be around him instead.
“Mancer, why are they both glowing like that? It… looks like Rasoul…” Kyle said, looking back and forth between Finale and Kurayami. “Is that Rasoul…? Also, why did they mention Echilon…? Why did they ask if Echilon was ready to give me… the truth… And didn’t bạn mention that the Rasoul Embodiments colors… were… were…“ He started to talk, but he suddenly paused in the middle of his sentence as his eyes went even wider than they had before as his jaw dropped open. He just continued to stare at Mancer, not moving hoặc not even blinking.
“I’m going to assume bạn just put two and two together,” Mancer đã đưa ý kiến as he closed his eyes with a slight grin on his face. He slowly opened his eyes back up as his own body began to glow with a red energy similar to the energies that Finale and Kurayami were surrounded with. “Yes, my real name is Echilon. Echilon Rasoulin. And these are my brothers Finale Rasoulin and Kurayami Rasoulin. We’re three of the four Rasoul Embodiments that I’ve told bạn about.”
Kyle just stood there frozen; he didn’t know what to think, he didn’t know what to say, and he didn’t know what to do. All he knew is that he felt like an Mũi tên xanh had just been shot through his body; he felt that the information had struck him like lightning and he had no idea to react to it. He slowly managed to get himself to speak, but what came out of his mouth was not exactly what he wanted to say, as he wanted to bình luận on the current information instead, but another part of him felt like this was an important thing to say. “…T-The colored Rasoul energies… I-If the colored Rasoul is… for the Rasoul Embodiments… t-then that… that means… it means…”
“I’m going to assume I know what you’re thinking here as well,” Mancer đã đưa ý kiến as his grin faded and his face went back into a very serious look. “Yes, Rasoul Embodiments are the only ones who have colored Rasoul energy. Based on what Trenton told me, I heard that bạn saw the silver Rasoul energy that Vice was using. And if you’re wondering what I think you’re wondering because of that… Yes, Vice is the fourth Rasoul Embodiment that we seem to be missing here, and our brother who has been taken under Tempus’ twisted mind control.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"What am I going to do now?!" Tempus yelled out loud to himself, falling back in the chair that he was sitting in out of frustration. "Of all the things..." He hissed through his teeth as he put his hands up and rubbed his temples; he was certainly not expecting for Vice to try to absorb a large amount of Rasoul. "He broke his own mind control and the energy pulse broke the control on the Dark ngựa as well. Great, just great. GREAT!" He tossed his walking stick made from Rasoul over to the side as he yelled once thêm in an attempt to relieve a bit of the stress and anger that he was feeling. He eventually took a deep breath before rubbing the sides of his head once thêm as he attempted to calm down; he also began trying to think over what he was going to have to do tiếp theo now that the Dark ngựa were back to normal and would no longer carry out orders for him.
After calming down at least slightly, Tempus glanced over to the side, remembering the Identity that he had taken control of. He released a quiet sigh as thoughts began to come up in his head; what if the Identity was to snap out of his mind control as well? He was worried over the fact that the Identity would most likely turn and attack him in a moment's notice once the control snapped, if it snapped.
The identity remained still. It was too quiet, unnervingly quiet. Better to have a danger speak then to have it silently wait for someone to lower their guard.
…And then a green light blasted into his residence from seemingly nowhere.
Tempus' large ears immediately stood on end as his eyes widened in shock once the green light had blasted into his residence. He immediately turned his head towards to the green light, trying to figure out who hoặc what could have just ripped through his home. "What in the world?!" He đã đưa ý kiến out loud due to pure shock.
The light vanished as quickly as it arrived, leaving a long-legged, black-suited woman, with a black face, glowing green eyes, and a hood, standing before him. Another identity. She đã đưa ý kiến nothing at first, analyzing the Nighless for the moment.
Tempus stayed still in and silent for a few moments, attempting to recover from the shock. He soon took a deep breath before speaking. "Who are you? And did bạn really have to just shoot into my trang chủ like that?"
The woman looked at his face directly, slowly smirking at his question. She then turned to the enslaved identity, and walked in front of it. “This is the Three-mood, yes?” She asked.
"I was told it was-" Tempus started to answer the woman without thinking twice about it, but once he did stop and think, he stopped in mid-sentence as a different response came up in mind. "Wait, why do bạn care? And why in the name of Rasoul are bạn in my house?"
She gave a faint jolt. “Rasoul…” She cooed in a sort of hiss of the word, “Yes bạn are Tempus, correct?”
"Who wants to know who Tempus is?" Tempus asked with an amount of caution in his voice and facial expression.
“I do.” She replied.
"Who exactly are you?" Tempus asked, narrowing his eyes slightly while still retaining caution.
“Device.” She replied casually, turning the identity’s head back and forth. “How hard was it to catch her?”
Tempus looked to the side while chewing on the corner of his lip slightly; he was debating on whether hoặc not he should answer this Device woman hoặc not. "...Well, it wasn't a walk in the park."
“You are learned. It was a battle of brawn versus brain, am I correct?”
"As a blunt and quick answer, yes."
“Do tell.”
Tempus casually explained the events; his approach, the identity’s reaction, the battle, the Third-Mood state, and the victory.
“As expected a Three-mood is much thêm prone to mind control when in a Third-Mood state.”
"Really now? That was the Three-Mood state?"
“Your mission was to find a Three-Mood, and she was taken over, and glowing red, so yes I would say it was. She probably only went into her một giây state, and I highly doubt she has experience with it. Many identities hide their abilities if they are without companions. Such cowardice is revolting considering this was a Three-Mood.”
"Hm. I wouldn't think that someone with that much power would try so hard to hide it."
“Everything is fear, and people fear what they can’t overpower. This identity probably knew that and wanted peace over rule.”
"That reminds me of a few people I know. Though one of them has a tendency to slip into a power want."
“Vice?”
"Actually I had a different one in mind but Vice is pretty much the same way. ...Wait, how do bạn know who he is?"
“We have been monitoring the activities of the Dark Horses, and Kyle Waktini also, since our ‘organizations’ shall we say, have partnered for the time.”
"Any particular reason for monitoring them?"
“Curiosity for one. The Nighless Dimension, anatomy, and Rasoul energy interests my superior who I believe bạn have already met with.”
"At this point, I'm pretty sure I know who you're talking about at this point. bạn work for her?"
Device began to open her mouth to reply but stopped herself and simply nodded with a dull bored stare.
"Very well then. I suppose that explains this.”
“You have had issues with Vice.” The green-and-black identity brought up.
Tempus slowly found himself frowning at what the Identity woman brought up. "Yes, I have."
“And your plan of action?”
"Most likely I'm going to try to prepare myself. Now that Vice and the Dark ngựa can no longer distract, Mancer and his little pet will most likely be coming after me at some point in time."
“And what makes bạn think that they cannot distract? If anything this insanity Vice has dropped into will cause quite an explosion of attention towards his person.”
"Yes, I know that would provide a distraction, and I'm sure it will. But in this situation, I feel as though it wouldn't hurt to be prepared just in case."
“Did they know of bạn before this transpired?”
"I'm thêm than sure they know about me. As far as I know, they've known for quite some time that I've been manipulating Vice."
“Then why would bạn be worried now and not before?”
"I'm worried now because I know that as soon as they take care of Vice's insanity they're going to come for me next. I've been on guard since I started this whole thing, but now I'm going to attempt to actually prepare myself. I know for a fact that one of them can just blow into a place in a quick enough manner that bạn almost never see him coming until he's punching bạn in the face."
“And have they attacked bạn already?”
"I haven't been attacked bởi anyone, no."
“And why do bạn think that is?”
"Well, I would think because they've been kept busy and away from me."
“And bạn think they will be able to find bạn now?”
"Maybe. That I'm not sure of."
“What do bạn think is the cause of Vice’s loss of control?”
"I'm thêm than sure it has something to do with the Rasoulin Seeker Rasoul that he absorbed. That stuff can cause an absolute frenzy in anyone who's not a Rasoulin Seeker themselves. They go into a vampire-like frenzy, wanting nothing but thêm Rasoul and thêm power."
“Interesting. Do bạn think that bạn yourself would have the means to stop him?”
"I'm not sure of that. I might be able to stop him bởi myself alone, but at the same time, I'm not sure if I would be willing to risk it without backup of any kind."
“Could bạn regain control of him?”
"In that state, I'm not sure. If it was enough to break the current control on him, I don't know if I could place it again in his current state."
“Well then, since bạn are their tiếp theo target, have bạn packed?”
"Have I packed what? Are bạn expecting me to di chuyển somewhere?"
“You are a priority asset to protect, and thus will be moved.”
"Priority asset? I didn't expect to be that important to bạn hoặc her."
“How shall I put this…” Device tapped her lip, “She likes bạn for your brain?”
"...I suppose that makes sense."
“Then we are off.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kyle just stood there in complete silence and shock, still trying to recover from the recently revealed information. “So… Y-You’re… You’re really the Rasoul Embodiments…?”
“Yep, we are,” Finale replied with a grin on his face. “Bet bạn weren’t expecting that, were you? The look on your face is priceless! So shocked and surprised. I haven’t seen anyone make a face like that at such info for a long time.”
“…Why did bạn hide that information from me in the first place…?” Kyle asked as he turned to look at Mancer, slightly ignoring Finale. “You told me that we were going to meet the Rasoul Embodiments and bạn told me other things about them… but yet bạn never told me that bạn were actually them… and bạn didn’t tell me that your name was really Echilon…”
“I know I didn’t tell bạn any of that,” Mancer said. “I wanted to keep it a secret so bạn wouldn’t immediately pressure us about using our power to attack Tempus and/or Vice head-on.”
“But why didn’t you?” Kyle questioned, wearing a slightly confused look on his face. “If bạn đã đưa ý kiến we’ll need the Embodiments’- …er… your power to stop Vice, then why haven’t bạn been using it?”
“One because there would have been no point in hiển thị bạn how to use your Rasoul abilities as bạn would have instantly relied on us to do something instead,” Mancer said. “Also, before bạn ask, no, you’re not the only one who’s been trained bởi us. Many other Rasoul users and Nighless have been being trained in the exact same way bạn are. một giây of all, it wouldn’t have been a good idea to attack right away, hoặc at least I don’t think it would have. Tempus has been gathering up Nighless for his little army for quite some time now, and if we had attacked and got Vice back right away, sure, we would have had Vice, but then we wouldn’t have gotten our own army of Nighless to go against his. We might have been shooting ourselves in the foot bởi doing that.”
“…Well, maybe I can understand that, but it’s still hard to believe bạn didn’t tell me about it sooner…” Kyle đã đưa ý kiến in a quiet voice, slowly starting to recover from the trước đó shock.
“I may not have told bạn now if I knew that we didn’t need the extra power to tackle Vice,” Mancer đã đưa ý kiến as he crossed his arms. “Anyway, now we need to come up with a plan on some kind. I’m not going to just have us charging in there headfirst.”
“What did bạn have in mind?” Kurayami asked as he turned to face his brother.
Mancer did not immediately answer, but instead turned his attention to Trenton, who still seemed rather unsurprised bởi the trước đó reveal. “Are bạn going to be staying and helping, Trenton?”
“Of course I will, sir. It’s my duty to work with you,” Trenton đã đưa ý kiến with a nod of his head; the way that Trenton had spoken greatly confused Kyle as he sounding like he was speaking to a superior hoặc a boss of some kind.
“Why are bạn suddenly speaking to him as if he’s some kind of boss to bạn hoặc something?” Kyle asked in confusion. “…I mean, I know now that he’s a really, really important person, but it’s not like he’s your boss hoặc something like that…”
“Actually I am his boss,” Mancer replied in a slightly blunt tone of voice, which caused Kyle’s eyes to go wide in surprise. “Did I not tell bạn about the Nighless Guard and the Nighless Royal Guard before? Trenton is one of the Nighless Royal Guards.”
“He’s one of the Royal Guards?!” Kyle asked in shock, which caused Mancer to frown just slightly.
“Yes, he is. I’m actually the one who asked him to go to your world and go to your school so he could keep an eye on you. I wanted him to keep an eye on bạn just in case bởi some off chance Vice hoặc one of the Dark ngựa tried to attack bạn at school hoặc something such as that. When bạn told me bạn thought he was Devin, I tried to play along with bạn so I wouldn’t look suspicious. He’s been relaying information to me ever since he went to your world. That information ranged anywhere from the world itself to what Vice and the others were up to. And before bạn say it, no, not like a stalker. I simply just wanted him to make sure that nothing was happening.”
“Okay then, I think I understand that…” Kyle said. “Wow… There’s so many surprises that I’m being told today…”
“Yes, you’re being told a lot today, and I recommend bạn recover from that as quickly as possible so we can stay on track,” Mancer đã đưa ý kiến as he turned his head to look over at Finale. “Finale, do bạn have any sort of plan that bạn can suggest to us?”
Kyle glanced over at Finale to see if the Nighless was going to speak, and he was surprised to see that Finale’s face seemed entirely different than it had before; instead of that large happy, goofy grin that he had worn before, the frown of a deeply serious person showed on his face. “A few,” He began. “We need to focus on getting Vice to come back to his senses. Even if we stopped him from going on a rampage, my guess is that he would bounce back eventually and once again try to go on a power rampage, and even if he didn’t do that, Tempus might possibly take over him again,”
“And how do bạn suggest we can bring Vice back to his senses?” Mancer asked.
“I should be able to tap into it and channel it out of him,” Finale said. “As bạn know, I’m the one with the strongest Rasoul control here. However, we’re still going to have to either beat him down hoặc hold him down in some way as I can’t exactly focus and tap into it if I’m being smacked in the face.”
“Do we know if that will work, sir?” Trenton questioned.
“Okay, first of all, bạn can stop the formal speech,” Finale said. “Just because we’re in front of Kyle doesn’t mean that bạn have to start speaking like I’m some very important person. Anyway, I don’t know if it will work, but I think that’s the best choice we have right now.”
“Now we need a way to give Finale that opportunity,” Kurayami said.
Mancer nodded in agreement as he turned his head to look at both Kyle and Trenton; the bat appeared to be waiting for orders of any kind and Kyle still seemed a bit nervous about the whole situation. “Are bạn two planning to help us?” The bat and the hedgehog simply nodded their heads. “Good, let’s get to thinking.”
.................................................................................
The Dark ngựa leader quickly dashed down the streets of the Rasoul Dimension, shoving past many Nighless and other citizens in his search; he was tracking the Rasoul of another Rasoulin Seeker. His eyes quickly scanned over the crowds looking at him in confusion as he searched for one of the vampire-like Nighless, but he was unable to see the species he was looking for and instead dashed off once again. His eyes searched over the crowds as he ran; he could easily pick them out from the crowd even in the current Rasoul frenzy that he was in.
After a few short phút of searching, Vice was able to lock his eyes on a male Rasoulin Seeker who was walking right tiếp theo to an alleyway. He could already sense the powerful Rasoul that the Rasoulin Seeker had and was intent on trying to get it from him.
The Rasoulin Seeker turned his head towards Vice. Upon seeing the approaching former Dark ngựa leader, a look of confusion quickly found its way onto the Rasoulin Seeker’s face. “Do bạn need something?” Vice simply continued approaching the Seeker without saying a word, which lead to thêm confusion for the Seeker. “Something wrong? Did bạn hear what I asked? Did bạn need to say something to me?”
“I desire your power hoặc your assistance. If bạn do not give them to me, I will forcefully take them if needed,” Vice đã đưa ý kiến through a quick hiss, quickly forming his arms into Rasoul Blades; the Rasoulin Seeker immediately began to back up with an even thêm confused look on his face.
“What in the name of the Rasoul Dimension do bạn need my Rasoul powers for? And assistance for what?” The Rasoulin Seeker questioned as he continued to back up into the alleyway; Vice continued to walk towards the Seeker with Rasoul Blades ready to attack.
“I desire thêm power. And if bạn will not give it to me, I will take it myself,” Vice đã đưa ý kiến before quickly dashing towards the Rasoulin Seeker at an extremely quick speed; the Seeker barely even had enough time to flinch before one of the Rasoul Blades connected with his stomach and sent him flying backwards. The Seeker landed roughly on the ground, releasing a quiet hiss through his teeth due to the pain. He quickly had to jerk his head up to see Vice charging towards him quickly with his Rasoul Blades raised once more. The Seeker quickly attempted to roll out of the way of Vice’s swinging blades. He was able to dodge the Rasoul Blades as they swung down and hit the ground with a clanging slam. The Seeker quickly looked towards Vice, who was currently trying to yank his arms out of the ground; his Rasoul blades stuck inside.
Vice quickly looked towards the Rasoulin Seeker and hissed as he jerked his arms upward, quickly ripping his Rasoul Blades out of the ground and towards the Seeker, who was already trying to back up and get away from the swing. The Seeker immediately turned and tried to run away from Vice further into the alley, but the former Dark ngựa leader quickly started to chase the Seeker down, closing in on the Seeker almost instantly. Vice quickly swung one of his bladed arms forward, sending a wave of Rasoul energy flying phía trước, chuyển tiếp quickly and into the back of the Rasoul Seeker. The vampire Nighless was knocked phía trước, chuyển tiếp onto the ground with a hiss.
“You will either work for me hoặc give me your power. I will not remind once again,” Vice đã đưa ý kiến as he quickly moved over to the Rasoulin Seeker with his Rasoul Blades raised once more. The former Dark ngựa leader pointed both of the blades down at the Seeker who stayed still out of slight fear of being stabbed. “Make your choice. Either one of those two hoặc I will bring my Rasoul Blades down upon your back.”
“I don’t even know who bạn are!” The Rasoulin Seeker đã đưa ý kiến with Vice’s black áo, áo khoác still concealing his identity. “I don’t know what I would be signing up for if I helped you!”
“I will not answer what bạn would be signing up for and I will not wait for a response from bạn while bạn run the conversation in circles,” Vice đã đưa ý kiến with a slight hiss. He slowly began to push his Rasoul Blades down onto the Rasoulin Seeker’s back, which caused him to hiss quite loudly from the pressuring pain that was now being pressed into his back. “You will help me one way hoặc another.”
In an attempt to try to get Vice off of him, the Rasoulin Seeker quickly began charging up an aura of Rasoul energy around himself. The Rasoulin Seeker quickly released the pulse of Rasoul once it was fully charged in an attempt to knock Vice away, but the former Dark ngựa leader simply jumped backwards. However, as he jumped back, an idea came to him. Vice waited until the Seeker quickly got up and tried to ngọn lửa, chữa cháy another Rasoul Pulse before forming his own Rasoul around the Seeker and his Rasoul Pulse, stopping the energy in midair. The Rasoulin Seeker quickly tried to react bởi trying to force his Rasoul Pulse to di chuyển through Vice’s Rasoul, but he found himself unable to force the former Dark ngựa leader’s Rasoul away.
“I have decided that I will force bạn to work with me,” Vice đã đưa ý kiến through a light hiss. “As much as I would enjoy your power, I require your assistance for my plan. And I know how to make bạn work for me whether bạn want to hoặc not. bạn will assist me in my plans.” The former Dark ngựa leader continued to hold the Seeker’s Rasoul Pulse in place as well as the Seeker himself; the Rasoulin Seeker discovered that he couldn’t move. The Seeker tried to open his mouth to yell out, but he found himself unable to di chuyển his mouth as well. Vice had managed to freeze every bit of Rasoul around the Seeker’s body, which in turn froze the Seeker. In his Nữ hoàng băng giá state he could really only stand there and watch as Vice quickly made his way over to the Rasoulin Seeker. The Rasoulin Seeker still couldn’t di chuyển no matter how hard he tried to fight back against Vice’s powers and could only stay silent and still as Vice began charging Rasoul energy in his hands once again; this Rasoul seemed to be warping as it charged instead of staying normal. Vice quickly finished charging the Rasoul and stepped towards the Rasoulin Seeker. The Rasoulin Seeker was still unable to act as he felt his own Rasoul being warped bởi the Rasoul that Vice had just shot into it. His mind was numbing, almost as if he was falling under a trance of some kind…

Lukky, She was kind,smart,energetic and mature for her age.
"The key isn't working to my apartment..." She đã đưa ý kiến softly. She went downstairs to get the key checked out.
