Vakolic wrote:"I was..." Alex said slowly..."I was rounding up sports players, figured they should be fit.
It's the weekend, so I figured most of the teams should be playing now. I got onto the pitches, had about 60 celebrity footballers and baseball players following me, and the police new nothing."
Alex walked beside Seth at the front of the group, nearly stumbling on a dropped sword which was taken up by a rather small Arab-looking man in front of them.
He extended his claws, and rested the razor-ship points on the man's shoulder. "Hello," he said, looming slightly, "And who might you be?"

Abdul initially tensed up as the figure approached him, but in a move that most men would dismiss as insane, relaxed as he felt the claws upon his shoulder. Curling the edges of his lips upwards in what could be interpreted as a smile, he stated, "From your ability there my friend, I would say that I am one of you. Or rather, not one of the now deceased occupants of this facility, unless of course, you are a traitor to our kind." As he spoke, Abdul prepared himself to retreat, probably leaving behind a bit of his shoulder, lest the being turn hostile.

Alex extended his mind to the new arrival, and prepared to attack it.
"OK," he began, "You're not human."

As he relaxed slightly, one of the zombie-like humans gained independent thought.
As he turned and ran, the 50-or-so people around him turned and attacked him with fists, feet and teeth. 30 seconds later, he had been toarn to pieces and was lying on the floor, obviously dead.

Bemused and impressed by the abilities of his new "acquaintance", Abdul cocked his head to one side to get a better look at the fresh corpse. "As entertaining as that display was, I do suggest we leave. There is a slightly excessive amount of explosive material about us, and I'd rather not waste a day digging myself out of the rubble."

Salma looked quite nervous as she looked at Zeus, and she saw how John reacted to him. It was obvious that the two did not like each other. She was unsure of what to ask for. Salma looked at John sympathetically. She knew there was no way in hell that Jupiter would bring Michael back. She tried to be quick as possible, because she knew that the gods were quite impatient and she didn't want to upset the almighty Jupiter. Finally, she got an idea. "Lord Jupiter, sir, your majesty." she said, as she didn't know what to call him. "Eric, he's very dear to me." "And he has a problem that he's been living with for quite a while, he's afraid sir." "I was wondering, with his permission of course if the gods would be able to bind or remove his wolf in the safest and least painful way possible." "I believe it would make him much happier if he didn't have to worry about it anymore, I'd like to see him smile more often and be able to live without fear." "But forgive me for being so impertinent my lord but if that cannot be granted there's another thing I'd like to ask in stead." "All of the demigods that were murdered by the monster army, I'd like to see them restored to life and to their families."

Eric was shocked when he heard Salma's wish. He couldn't believe she would do that for him, e looked at her his eyes beaming. Then he heard her second request and he realized he couldn't be selfish either. He couldn't imagine how great it would be not to be a werewolf anymore, to not have to worry about accidentally killing Salma and the people he cared about. But those were John's cousins and Eric had spent most of his childhood with them. They didn't deserve to die. "Lord Jupiter I would like you to grant her second wish. Their lives are more important than my problem." Diana the Godess of the Hunt rose from her throne and spoke "Why is this monster allowed to speak? He is lucky I allow him in my presence without making him a pelt!" Eric put his head down and John put his hand on his sword looking like he was ready to attack a goddess until Jupiter spoke "Calm down Diana he has helped us. He is our guest." He turned to Pluto "This is your domain brother, will you allow the slain demigods to return to Earth?" Pluto nodded and Jupiter spoke again "Your wish is granted Salma, the slain demigods will return to life." He turned to Aurelia and said "Aurelia Brandon you may make your request now."
John looked at Salma with new respect. She had no connection to his family but she chose to help them. He gave her a small smile and nodded.

by **Nuridia** » Mon Oct 21, 2013 3:49 pm

Aurelia bowed slightly to the god. "Master Jupiter, my original request was that my parents would be able to be together forever, as my mother is mortal and my father is an angel, and the day will eventually come that he will have to lose her." "I don't want either of them to feel the pain of being ripped apart, so I was going to ask that they would be able to stay together, with Mom's permission of course." "But now, I ask the same thing Salma asked in the first place." "Eric deserves to be able to be free of the wolf inside him, and to be able to live a normal life." "My parents would want that and I want that too." "And Eric and Salma will be able to be together with no worries, and he will finally be free of his burden." "This is the request I ask for, that Eric be set free from this wolf." "And besides, Mom's soul will be able to join Dad's in the afterlife but this is the only way Eric, Salma and John can be happy." "I want him to be able to be rid of his wolf once and for all."

Seth looked at the odd Arabic man, Who's the yahoo that decided to break in while we were raiding.... Maybe he was the danger that Salma spoke about earlier? But she said it was a false alarm.... Weird.. Seth frowned as the men tore apart the fleeing person. What a waste.... They could have still been useful. Oh well. "So.... What are you doing with all those explosives? If you are planning on leveling this place I would suggest that you wait a while. We have a bit of business to take care of."

by **Tomia** » Mon Oct 21, 2013 4:13 pm

Eric and John were shocked when Aurelia asked for Eric to be free of his wolf spirit. John felt very happy about it and looked at Aurelia with grateful eyes, his crush coming back to the front of his mind.
Jupiter considered the request for a moment. "Eric is this what you want? If it is the request will be granted." Eric thought about it, and realized he didn't know how to answer. He always hoped that he could be a human again but now that the chance was here he didn't know what he wanted. Being a werewolf wasn't easy and he still couldn't control it perfectly but he had been able to protect the people he cared about with his powers. Could he have done that as a human? He knew what he had to do. "No" he said softly slightly in disbelief that the word came out o his mouth. He turned to Salma looking into her eyes. "I'm sorry but I can't do it. I know it can be hard sometimes but I realize now I was meant to be a werewolf. It's my duty to learn how to control it. Without it I wouldn't be able to protect you, and John and everyone else I care about. I can't run away from that." Jupiter nodded looking like it was the answer he was hoping for "Your decision is honorable Eric and the gods will respect it." Jupiter turned back to Aurelia "If you wish your first request may be granted."
John was so furious he couldn't speak. He just looked at the ground nearly shaking in anger. Eric had a chance to be free of that burden and turned it down? What was he thinking?

by **Nuridia** » Mon Oct 21, 2013 4:40 pm

Aurelia smiled and nodded at Eric, but then remembered what her parents said to her. Her mother told her that eventually, her spirit will rejoin her father's and while she loved them both, dying was what made her human. Marie requested that her soul's be allowed to rejoin her father's in peace when the time came. Aurelia looked apologetically at the god before her. "Forgive me Lord Jupiter for wasting your time, but now I realized that my mother will want to be able to rest in peace at the end of her days." "I was being selfish." "But I do have a request I believe could work out for all of us." "Lady Diana, goddess of the hunt." "I have a daughter, she is young and innocent, and was nearly taken away from me forever but I was able to retrieve her with a friend's help." "I ask if the Virgin Lady can place my child under her protection and take her on as an apprentice when she's a bit bigger so she can learn to defend herself." "She's so young but she's already a gifted magic user, she needs to learn to be able to wield that and I can't teach her."

by **Tomia** » Mon Oct 21, 2013 5:07 pm

Diana smiled and said "I will teach the child if you wish. She shall grow up to be a powerful huntress." "Then it is settled your wish is granted." Jupiter said, he then looked at John curiously. "John, you lead this quest to retrieve Vulcan's hammer. You have the thanks of the gods, what would you ask of us?" John looked up at them his eyes full of anger "I don't want anything from you." He said coldly and turned away his eyes full of hurt. The gods stared at him with anger. They were not used to being spoken in that manner. Jupiter looked at his son with an expression of pity. He cleared his throat and spoke again. "You are all heroes, we shall hold a celebration in your honor."
Eric was amazed by Olympus parties. The city was transformed with lights and torches with hundreds of tables set up to hold the demigods, gods and spirits in attendance. There was a buffet table that could produce any food you wanted and all you had to do is think about a drink and your cup would magically fill with it. People were laughing and dancing, it was incredible. The only one who didn't seem to be having fun was John. He sat alone at a table in the form of a golden retriever staring into space.

by **Nuridia** » Mon Oct 21, 2013 5:16 pm

Aurelia bowed. "Thank you all, we are forever grateful." Salma had already taken her seat next to Eric. "Wow, back at home you'd have to get all dressed up for a party." "This is totally awesome!" She took a plate and cup, thinking of Italian food and root beer. As she sat down to eat, she saw a glance of a golden retriever. "Man, poor John." "The guy's barely said a word all day.' Aurelia stood up. "I'll go and speak to him." She stood up and walked over to John's table, sitting next to him. "Hey John, are you alright?" "Do you want to talk about it, it could help you feel better."

by **Tomia** » Mon Oct 21, 2013 5:32 pm

Eric sat down next to Salma enjoying the party. He was glad they were safe and that terrible situation was over. He saw John sitting alone and felt guilty. He couldn't imagine what John was going through right now and he had done it for him. Eric knew John couldn't have been happy about him turning down becoming human either. He was glad when Aurelia went to speak to him.
When Aurelia came up to him John was glad he couldn't speak in his animal form. He was so frustrated and angry he couldn't bring himself to talk about it. He had killed his brother and people were celebrating around him. His father didn't even seem to care. He looked at Aurelia and rested his head on her shoulder. He let out a dog like whimper. John didn't like relying on other people but felt so helpless he couldn't help himself. He hated feeling weak but was so tired of acting confident and strong.

"Ah, really? quite sorry about that then. These damn bigots have been hounding me for all too long, and I plan on sticking about here for some time, so I figured that if I wanted to have some peace of mind, I might as well have some fun while I am about it eh? And what is conceivably more entertaining than a rapid increase in volume and release of energy in an extreme manner, at high temperatures? Now, if you would be so kind as to request your friend to remove his claws from my person, then I could go about ensuring my fun isn't delayed."

by **New Cinoth** » Tue Oct 22, 2013 1:56 pm

Seth shrugged, "Alright Alex, lay off the poor explosive happy Arab." He grinned, "If you really want to piss them off you can come with us. I've got an interesting surprise for them." He pointed down the hallway, "I have a feeling their most important parts won't collapse at those explosives, but my friends and I were planning on selectively trimming their leadership by a foot or so." He nodded to himself, Heads are around afoot tall, right? That seems about right. "So who exactly are you? I would prefer to know the variables within our little plot."

Falan sniffed at the Arab man sitting before them. "So Seth, why do we need this guy again?" Meanwhile, Aurelia stroked John's head comfortingly. "It's okay John, it'll be fine." "You know, it's alright to be vulnerable once in a while and I can tell you've had a lot bottled up." "I'm so, so sorry about your brother." "I know that must've been painful for you, but at the end of the day you did what was necessary." "It wasn't your favorite option, but in that moment unfortunately it was kill or be killed." "Any normal human would've done the same." Salma looked sad for John and turned to Eric. "I hope he's okay." "None of us want this to scar him for life, I know it's not something you can get over easily, but we have to help him find the best way to cope with it."

by **Vakolic** » Tue Oct 22, 2013 2:12 pm

"Okay," Alex said, retracting the claws back into his hands. "So what's your problem with the witch hunters then? Have they been attacking you as well?"

((ooc: NC, we need a hunter.))

by **New Cinoth** » Tue Oct 22, 2013 2:16 pm

Seth shrugged, "Better to have someone and my need them then need them and not have them." He chuckled, "And since he's here he's not a friend of the hunters, so the enemy of our enemy also comes into play." He patted Falan, "Don't worry. I'm sure he will behave, and I he doesn't you can eat him." Two armored people rounded the corner, "Have you people seen Lucian? He hasn't come back to the council meeting yet and we..... Wait a minute you aren't domestics, an you certainly aren't hunters. What are you doing here!?"

by **Vakolic** » Tue Oct 22, 2013 2:53 pm

Alex stepped forward, his human forming struggling to contain the muscles of his coiled inner sels, and reached out, covering the 2 hunters minds in a happy, comforting pool of indifference.
"We're no harm," he said. "We're hear to help you. Lucian was taken away by some bad people. We're just looking for them, that's all."
He urged the 2 minds to accept his thoughts, but prepared to strike if they didn't.

by **New Cinoth** » Tue Oct 22, 2013 3:35 pm

The two men started to sway under Alex's influence before a burning wall of racism blocked out the thoughts, "Yeah, sure you are. Do you think we are stupid or something? No half human, or any creatures beyond human should be allowed to live. The only good monster is a dead one." Seth sighed, "Great now we pissed them off." The two hunters readied their weapons, "Since we are in a charitable mood we'll give you ten seconds to explain what you did with Lucian." The two armored men were obviously very brave (or foolish) but the way they held their swords and shifted uncomfortably meant they were novices and not a threat to a house cat, let alone the group that stood before them. Seth nudged Alex, "So what now Mr. Mind magic, or whatever you use.... I'm pretty sure that good 'ol hunter brainwashing makes them hate us with a passion."

by **Tomia** » Tue Oct 22, 2013 3:40 pm

John sat in Aurelia arms listening to her words. It felt strange to John to feel so vulnerable. He rarely shared his feelings with anyone but he felt comforted by Aurelia's presence. He didn't even have to speak and she understood how he was feeling. He was still incredibly angry and distraught but Aurelia seemed to make him forget about that. After a few minutes he waged his tail and looked up into her eyes. He didn't want to turn into his human form as for once in his life he didn't know what to say. He looked at her and licked her cheek playfully, feeling better about himself.
Eric nodded to Salma "John will be okay. He's the strongest person I know. He just needs time is all. I feel bad about the things I said to him. I just hope he isn't mad at me anymore."

Yuta followed him as well, jogging a little to keep pace. He looked to Alex, wondering if he was ok. He didn't ask anything though, and just kept his mind on the task at hand.

Alex walked with moderate speed as he made it to his room, and burst open the door and grabbed his suitcase that he put under his bed and began to pack his clothes in the suitcase. He really was trying to keep his anger under control.

"D-Do you want me to h-help?" Yuta stutters, watching Alex run around the room grabbing stuff. He reached out a little to hug him, not knowing whether he wanted one or not.

Alex ran around the room collecting what he could to fit into his suitcase. He only stopped when felt a hand trying to hug him, all he did was wrap his arms around Yu, calming down. "I'm sorry." He said in a quiet voice.

"This is my answer," Alexed growled towards Lucis and allowed his body to do what it wanted.

Their were very few things that could resist a Vakali getting big. The ceiling above was obviously not one of them.
Alex' head pushed up through the ceiling like a cannonball and his horns cut around it like a knife through melted butter.
Already, their was little left of the small room overhead as he thundered towards the group.
As he did so, about 5 of the zombified humans had moved behind the larger of the hungers, and pounced on him, biting and hitting at any unarmoured spots.
Alex through his massive leg forward and kicked at the knee of the hunter: a kick that should send a normal human crashing to the ground.

by **New Cinoth** » Wed Oct 23, 2013 1:48 pm

The larger man managed to hold his own for a few seconds, cutting down two of the humans before being pushed down by the other three. The other hunter wasn't as lucky. The kick sent him flying, even in his heavy plate armor. The man's head rolled limply on his neck. The other hunter was still trying to put up a fight as the mentally controlled humans beat him. Seth sighed heavily, "Well.... That was rather loud. I suggest you shrink back down so you can fit where we are going. I doubt that your body will enjoy being forced into a space magically enhanced to not break." He waved their group onward, "Right this way if you please."

by **Vakolic** » Wed Oct 23, 2013 1:56 pm

Alex shrunk himself down to his human size, before breaking the 2 now dead hunters armor open. The whole killing procedure had taken less than a minute.

With his claws, he removed their hearts and ate them, savouring the flavour.
"Okay," he said cheerily. "I'm ready."
