Darkness Arrives (PG13?)

[Ebon]

(All are welcome, this is just a... whatever RP. For Ebon to meet people. And of course, we begin with a battle...)

"What is this place?" A deep, whispered and echoing voice could be heard. Its silent, almost calm tone, was mysterious as the wind that blew through the Temple Yard with a scent of lavender upon it.

The shadows created by the sun around the yards writhed, shifting and moving to collect upon one spot. They slowly began to collect in a cyclone, building upon each other until a 6'7" Mewtwo was created from it.

With his head held high and eyes closed, his arms were crossed over his chest, three-fingered hands clenched. His body was entirely black; off and on shimmering with intricate designs, glowing of green and shifting upon his body. The shadows began to calm after his creation there upon that spot. He seemed to float inches above the clean green grass.

"Where am I?"

The dark Mewtwo creature's eyes began to open, revealing a bright, vivid emerald green that contrasted brilliantly against his dark form. He slowly lowered his arms, unclenching his fingers. Those vivid eyes began to look around, glancing at his surroundings, taking in every object... every tree, leaf, animal that would surround him.

But something wasn't right...

His eyes that were once gazing upon the surroundings widened in shock, perhaps horror, as his head and body quickly turned about and raised to the sky once more. Dark clouds gathered quickly, and from them a bright ray of light appeared from it, dangerously approaching the dark Mewtwo.

It struck him, yet just in time he seemed to be able to summon around him a dark shield. The light kept coming, pulsating strong and stronger against his shield. He strained to keep it up, protect himself... but the shield was weakening, and as was he.

Would no one help him?

[The_Evil_Mewthree]

". . . what's this?"

The ambiguous villain known only as Mewthree puts down his reading and glances toward the window.

"The sun WAS out... and I know that these freak occurances are always due to a living being, especially here."

Mewthree gets up and starts for the door, not bothering to retrieve his top hat or overcoat; just his parasol as he assumes the dark clouds could lead to rain. Upon going outside, his lime-green eyes widen at taking notice to the beam of light coming from the sky. At first hesitant to approach it, until Mewthree sees that the light appears to be coming down on a mewtwo, generating a dark barrier against it.

"How interesting... no, he's weakening. I could just observ-oh alright them...!"

He runs over to the endangered mewtwo and generates his own barrier, similar to green lightning, to aid in holding off the light beam. However Mewthree could feel his own limited power begining to diminish as well, and finally did the only thing that came to mind: he quickly shoved the foreign mewtwo out of the way, also allowing himself time to escape this strange light as well.

"Now then, stranger. Your exposition...?"

[Razorirr]

*runs out my door after seeing that m3 left his house in the nude. something had to be up and when the door slid up into it recess i could see what was the matter. i run to m3 and the new one, who seems rather familiar.*

"is everything OK here? its dark in my house if thats whats the matter, or i could get the healing kit."

*then it clicks who he looks like.*

"my god he looks the same as karyan! just green instead of red."

[Ebon]

The light beam, after MewThree pushed the dark mewtwo out of the way and escaped himself, dimished quickly and disappeared. The dark mewtwo fell upon the ground, suprised at being rescued.

The dark clouds were still there, so the dark mewtwo saw, but from his gaze there his eyes went upon the two mewtwo's that came out to help him. "My exposition...?" he repeated the question. " I..."

Before he could continue his sentence, however, another beam of light, quick and short, shot down to strike upon the dark mewtwo's shoulder. He rolled out of the way, from instinct his hand went up to hold the shoulder.

The dark mewtwo whinced in pain, crying out from the shot which wounded his shoulder. From the blast shadows seemed to lift like a dark mist, signifying that such was his blood and that, he was loosing his form within that area.

"I'm uncertain," the dark mewtwo replied to all questions, a voice strewn with pain.

"Ebon!" A new voice bellowed out, coming from those clouds above. The clouds swirled, and from its center lowered a figure of unknown form, though one may have thought it an angel. Light emitted from it, almost as bright as the sun itself. "I found you, Ebon," the 'angel' continued to say. "You two there! Leave him to me. He must perish, you do not understand!"

The 'angel' extended an arm, an orb of light building up around its hand, targeting the dark mewtwo who's name was given by the 'angel' as Ebon. However it had not yet attacked...

"Ebon... is that, my name?" Ebon questioned, his voice soft and clear. He knew of the impending doom upon him, but didn't turn his head to look at the 'angel' above. Slowly he rose to his feet, still holding that arm that, between his three-fingered hand upon the wound, shadows rose in tiny streams.

Ebon glanced over the two others in forms like himself that had come, however... he simply lowered his gaze, closing his eyes, as though he was only to accept what was coming.

And such was when the 'angel' sent the attack towards Ebon, a beam quite larger, quite stronger than the two attacks combined before.

[Razorirr]

*gets overtop of the mewtwo now named ebon and takes the hit.*

"GAH!!!!"

*feels the skin on my back start to burn off and puts up a shield. trying to get rid of the beam.*

"Mewthree! take him out somehow!"

[The_Evil_Mewthree]

"Can't take him out.... but I can do something...!"

Mewthree concentrates for a moment, then opens his jaw and spits out a live snake at the angel. The snake however isn't real, and transforms into the green slimy inards of the evil pokemon, splattering dead on and spreading over the angel's face. During this time, some Crystal Warriors appear and take flank behind Mewthree.

"That should be a decent distraction. But we're in no position to fight yet... My soldiers! aid them back to the temple."

The Crystal Warriors pick up Ebon and Raz and make for the temple, with Mewthree taking a moment to observe the figiting and most likely agitated being trying to get the constricting slime off; then runs off to catch up with the others.

[Razorirr]

*the minute that we're in the temple i run into my room and hop in the emergency pool to let the waters curative properties heal my wounds.*

~be back in a few minutes. until then keep ebon safe!~

[Ebon]

Surprised once again by the blue one jumping upon him, knocking him to the ground and acting as a physical shield against the light first, then emitting a power shield, Ebon's eyes widened.

Ebon watched the other mewtwo, who was identified as Mewthree now, attacked the 'angel' above.

The 'angel' shouted out as the slime struck him, blinding him and causing him to try to take the slime off. But by the time he did, his target and the other two were already gone. He hissed beneath his breath, still trying to take off some of the slime, as he disappeared into the clouds. "I will get you some day, Ebon..." was the 'angels' last words before disappearing.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(Inside the temple:)

Having been carried there by the warriors, Ebon's mind was going over all that had happened. He had a name now, that he knew. But what was this place he had come to?

And who was that creature that tried to kill him? Had he done something wrong? Did he deserve to die?

"Thank you," Ebon said in a calm tone, to the blue creature that had suffered wounds because of him and, to the other who was identified at Mewthree. "My name... is Ebon." A small smile came to Ebon's face, glancing at the two once again.

[Razorirr]

*gets out of the emergency pool all healed up and runs back to ebon.*

"as i ran off you said something. what was it?"

[Ebon]

"I said thank you," Ebon replies to the blue creature that comes back into the room. The soldiers had set him down onto a couch in the common room of the temple. "And that, I'm sorry as well for causing trouble."

Ebon looks to the wound in his shoulder, which within the dimly lit room was slowly starting to heal itself. He brings a hand up to cover it, to allow it better healing. His eyes close slightly to concentrate.

"What is this place?" He asks.

[Razorirr]

"its ok. i couldnt let you die out there," i say as i sit at the head of the couch by his feet and tail.

"this is the temple. the majority of the mewtwos live here. but the threes tend to have their own places. its up to you if you want to stay here or move somewhere."

"im one of those threes. you can call me raz. the one that saved us is another mewthree. his name is Mewthree, and there is one other. an all black mewthree by the name of azreal. stay away from him or he will most likely kill you, send your remains to the angel just to piss him off, then kill the angel."

[Ebon]

"Oh?" Ebon replies in regards the warning about the mewthree Azreal. "I don't know if I should stay. If that... angel wants me, there's no need for you or anyone else, to get involved in something that is considerably my problem." He began to sit up, still holding onto that wounded shoulder.

Something was going through his mind, however... not only was he scanning the emptiness, trying to fill in holes, he had this sense that there was something about this place. If that 'angel' would stop at nothing to kill him, why didn't it just enter the Temple?

Ebon's eyes went to scan over Raz. 'A mewthree?' Ebon thought. The green lines began to move throughout Ebon's body as he did, but it seemed to get violently out of control. The shadows writhed about the room, and Ebon's body, weak in many ways, seemed to be disappearing. A groan of pain released from him, and he brought his other hand to grip his other shoulder, doubling over with the pain...

He was trying to concentrate, to keep his form, to stay solid. Why was it he couldn't? And then it came to him...

"Please, Raz... lights. Turn them off... all off..." Ebon begged, his voice fading in and out.

[Razorirr]

*sends out a burst of electricity and literally kills the lights while running around pulling the blinds.*

"dont worry about staying just because you dont want any of us to get hurt. were all good fighters. we can protect ourselves and you. and if you need a dark place to stay you can stay at my place. i live in a base under the ocean were no light can reach."

[Ebon]

After the light around the room was killed, Ebon slowly began to feel better. The darkness caused him to nearly not be able to be seen, but slowly as he regained his form began to heal, the tiny green glow upon his body began to slow down, revealing his position in the darkness.

"It would be nice..." He began, holding out his hand to produce a green orb of light that lit up the room, allowing Raz to see. Ebon was weak against natural light, as well as unnatural that wasn't of his own creation. "It would be nice to stay, to figure out... why I am here."

[Razorirr]

*sits on the couch next to ebon and looks him over. taking note of his markings.*

"you can always stay at my place. its an open door to everyone pretty much. and i helped my mate to be able to love. i can definately help you find out your existance."

[Ebon]

"Love?" Ebon replied, eyes upon Raz. "What is that? And, what does it have to do with my situation?"

Ebon stood up, releasing the floating green orb to levitate in the middle of the room. His eyes glanced around. "And what is it about this... Temple, you say? That I would be here? Is it because, I am..."

Ebon paused, then looking down upon his hands. "What am I, truthfully? You say... mewtwo's, and mewthree's? Which am I?" His eyes narrowed slightly in thought.

[Razorirr]

thinks about how to explain all of this.*

"well love is where one of us cares a lot about another person. karyan and i care greatly about eachother. we would die for eachother if need be.

this temple is where all the mewtwos live and the majority of the threes visit. its our refuge from the rest of the world. no one really knows who made it. its just here and we gave it a purpose.

and although you look way different then the other twos you definately are shaped like one. you have the characteristic second tube neck thingy. threes dont have that. and you only have two fingers and a thumb on your hands. we have three fingers and a thumb.

though you seem to be made out of shadows you could probablly change into a three if you want."

[Ebon]

"Perhaps," Ebon replied, having listened with great interest that which Raz told him. "I feel quite weak. This... home... of yours? I would like to see it, please. And rest till the morrow. Then, perhaps can you show me the rest of this Temple?"

[Razorirr]

"i dont know if your up to this even if you can do it at the moment," Raz said as he pulled ebon into a hug and teleported the two of them to the bottom of the ocean where his base is.

"its rather small, just this room that we are in. the bathroom over there. and the aquacar over by the exit," said raz as he pointed to all the objects in turn.

"theres only one bed, and even though it could hold many more twos and threes ill let you have it to yourself," said raz as he curled up on the floor at the head of the bed.

[Ebon]

Having being suddenly taken into Raz's arms, Ebon's body stiffed up. He was... frightened, by the sudden embrace, but also a tingling sensation that wasn't that of being teleported seemed to swirl within his chest.

Then they were there, and Raz released him. A part of him wanted the closeness still, but a more stronger tugging felt better that Raz had released him. Ebon looked around curiously, hiding his gaze from catching Raz's as he did, nodding as he was shown around.

Then there was the bed, a very large, spacious object against the wall. Ebon watched Raz curl up on the floor at the end, before walking over to the bed himself. He touched upon it carefully, as if scared of what he would feel. Soon as he touched it, he felt its softness and the silkyness of the covers. So he sat upon it, layed down and glanced at the ceiling.

Having focused hard enough above him, he could see through the ceiling. He could see the water that was all around them, the water pokemon that swam within it, and further he could see into the Temple once again.

Closing his eyes to rest, he could feel from the shadows every movement within and near them, though very faint most of them were. His powers were like instinct to him, those he knew well... however...

"Love..." Ebon whispered, before drifting off into slumber.

Love was the thing most recently he had learned about that was very, very new to him. Was it truly something as great as Raz stated? The tone of Raz's voice when explaining it, told Ebon that it was very important to him.

Perhaps tomorrow, Ebon would find out more.

[Razorirr]

Raz woke up from a dream that he was having to the beeping of the 7:00 A.M. alarm. quickly he got up and ran to it to shut it off. he succeded in turning the alarm off but failed miserably in stopping himself from sneezing.

"god i hope that doesn't wake him up,"thought Raz. "he could definately use the sleep"

then raz stiffened his tail and used it as a support brace. anyone looking at him would think that he was sitting in a chair.

[Ebon]

Ebon stirred from his slumber. Not the alarm, nor the sneeze, had woken him up, but it was Raz's thoughts so faint in his mind that had done it. "I was about to wake up anyways," replied Ebon, turning his head and opening his eyes that flickered lightly to look at Raz. The form of his body shifted, the shadows rippling slightly, as he started to sit up on the edge of the bed.

"I was thinking about something you said yesterday," Ebon continued, the tone of his voice soft and calm. "What is this 'mate' you spoke of? The concept of such is... unfamiliar to me."

[The_Evil_Mewthree]

As morning came, the sun illuminated over the temple, and glistened off of the Crystal Warriors standing at attention outside of it.

"Hm... everything seems alright for the moment. That angel-like creature hasn't returned; I suppose this Ebon was safe in Raz's underwater base."

Mewthree signals for his soldiers to go at ease, then starts tapping a few buttons on a communication device. He knew that the others at the temple would hold their own if anything came back, so he would return to his own evil dominion.

"We return to M3 Base now, I'll come back here later on, and let you know if your assistance is needed. But in the meantime, we have matters to attend to..."

A dimensional portal appears, Mewthree and his Crystal Warriors stepping through; on their way back to the dimension of darkness, home of M3 Base.

[Ebon]

(Gonna be making this interesting.)

From a coil of light upon the temple yards, a figure began to take shape. Her form was that of a mewthree, body of white and tail of peach, with peach eyes and large white wings. The coil of light that brought her seeped onto her body to form a robe of white, covering the nakedness of her body. Her wings collapsed to her back into a relaxed position, and slowly she walked to the temple doors to enter.

As she looked around the temple, a tattoo of an angel surrounded by a sunburst could be seen upon the left of her neck. She sniffed the air, then licking her lips and releasing a small giggle. "Well isn't this place nice," she seemed to purr. She idely straightened out her robes and walked further into the temple, her eyes gazing about as if... searching for something.

[Razorirr]

Raz thinks for a bit then starts to speak, "A mate is someone that you love very dearly. its someone that you can't live without in your life. for me karyan is my life. all i think about, all i do is somehow affected by him. if he were to go missing, or die i would never be the same again. it would almost be as if someone ripped me in half.

for some of us just finding a mate is a difficult thing. for some reason, my guess is genetics, there is a two to one ratio of males to females. for the ones of us that choose only to mate with the oppisite sex or the same species have a hard time finding someone that fit what they are looking for.

for some like me though its rather easy. we dont care what the sex or the species of a mate would be. were just looking for traits that we find to be what we would want our mate to have.

karyan for example mystifys me to this day. he doesnt look it but he is over five hundred years old. for some reason even though he is physologically built like a two i think he has to have some mewthree blood in him because he doesn't have the second neck like you do. and he has hair. jet black, shiny, waist length hair.

sometimes ill come home after a bad day doing something and he will be right there and we will curl up and just purr to eachother. soon the only thing that i feel is happyness at being in the warmth of his arms and tail.

to me, being able to do that with someone is love and if you ever find that person you should never let him or her go."

all of the sudden the computer beeps and brings up a display from one of the temple security cameras. i hit a button and bring up an image of a clothed, white, FEMALE, mewthree.

"she is not one of us. do you know her? if you dont i can bring you to one of my other bases to hide you if needed."

[Ebon]

As Raz explained, Ebon thought about every word that was coming forth. Thinking about each phrase... trying to find the meaning of this word 'mate', the meaning of this word 'love'.

Why would something so easily explainable for Raz, be something so hard for Ebon himself to figure out?

But then there was that beeping noise, and Ebon looked over to the image of the white mewthree. Ebon shook his head. "No, I do not recognize her..." Ebon replied. "Perhaps, she is simply a visitor like me?"

Ebon looked to Raz. "If you wish to go greet her, I will be fine looking around myself, Raz," he added, smiling slightly towards Raz.

[Razorirr]

Raz had been planning on staying with Ebon for a bit until he totaly healed up but afer he said raz could go greet her he decided to. "ill be back in a bit."

raz teleports to the temple.

he starts to walk looking for the new girl and sees her when he turns the corner. her beauty set him aback. even though he loves karyan he definately couldnt just ignore the fact that there was a beautiful, female three infront of him. "hello!" he said, "you looking for something?"

[Ebon]

The white female mewthree looks to Raz when he enters, her wings twitching to a more relaxed position upon her back.

A warm smile comes to her face. "Yes," she says softly, "And I'm sure I already found you." She giggles softly. "My name is Serafina... you may call me Sera."

She walks closer to him. "And who may you be?" She asks with a soft purr at the end, a hand reaching out to touch him upon the chest, fingers gently gliding down his chest.

[Razorirr]

raz blushes. or rather tries to, it doesnt show up so well through the blue of his skin. "Im razorirr, you can call me raz," i purr back to her.

[Ebon]

Sera smiles warmly up to Raz. "Raz... such a handsome name, for a handsome mewthree," she says softly, eyes looking over his facial features. Her hand idely glides from his chest over his shoulder, fingers tip-toeing down his arm. "Think you could possibly give me a special tour of this... temple, hun?"

----------------

(Back in Raz's room:)

Ebon watched the display with interest, green eyes flickering like fire as his form shifted into that of a mist. The mist rose up and formed behind him like that of wings, before his entire body melded in with the shadows.

-----------------

(Back in the temple:)

The shadows around Sera and Raz flickered lightly. Out of the corner of Sera's eyes, she could see the movement. She knew he was there, but her focus stayed upon Raz, a warm smile awaiting the blue mewthree's reply.

[Razorirr]

smirks at the movement of the shadows, "sure ill give you a tour. but if you think youre going to find him you are mistaken. i provided him a spot where you of the light can not reach." said raz. "but you can reach to me all you want. i have no fear of you." he said adding a purr to the end of the last sentance.

[Ruby Mewtwo]

*A little white figure, dragging her chalkbox to go outside. The little white figure, with Mewtwo attributes, is Twosie. Just before she goes outside, she sees a foreign feline in the Temple with Razorirr, tempting him. Twosie looks at Raz with worry and that white feline with suspicion.*

~Oh, hello miss. Are you new here?~ Twosie asks the white foreign feline nervously.

[Ebon]

"Hmmm?" Sera hummed lightly, smilling near the end. "For whatever are you talking about, m'dear Raz? Who is this... him, you speak about?" She asks, moving away from Raz and towards the shadows near the wall. She seems to look right into them, a smirk crossing her lips.

Ebon, hidden within the shadows as he was a part of them, widened his eyes as he realized this Sera was seemingly looking right at him. However he still did not give away his position.

Sera slowly glanced over to the little white figure, Twosie, as it spoke to her. "Oh, indeed, little cutie... I am new here. My name is Sera," she replies sweetly, with a kind smile. She walked away from that spot near the shadows.

Ebon silently released a sigh of relief.

Sera walked further into the common room of the temple, hands clasped behind her. "I like the atmosphere here, so quaint... however, it seems so dark," she continues, pouting softly. With a wave of her hand, orbs of light began to glow around the lights that were off. They glew brightly, lighting the room and...

Causing Ebon to retreat further into the shadows that the light couldn't reach.

Sera's eyes narrowed, and slowly the light that she created began to glow brighter and brighter, the light slowly destroying the shadows that Ebon hid within. 'Come out to play, little one...' Sera thought, a small grin coming to her face.

[Razorirr]

casts paralyze on sera and nightshade on the room to get it dark. "ok now i know that you know who im talking about or you wouldnt be doing that. you look great and i love the fact that there is finally a female three but i made him a promise that i cant break. i cant let you hurt him."

[Ruby Mewtwo]

*When Sera walks off with Raz, Twosie shivered because she has a feeling that something is wrong with that Sera character. That 'look of beauty'... is feels unreal, unnatural...

Then, she, left her chalk behind, walks for a bit. She sees a neat-looking shadow following Sera and Raz.*

~Ooh, look at the prettyful shadow!!!~ Twosie thought to herself.

[Ebon]

When the room darkened by Raz's nightshade, Ebon revealed himself as his tall, dark mewtwo form. Eyes flickering like green fire glanced in the direction of Sera, completely ignoring the small creature Twosie. Ebon's concentration was upon the white mewthree that had fallen to the ground. There was definetely something off about that one.

Sera, having been paralyzed, fell upon the ground on her hands and knees. She seemed powerful enough to keep herself in this knelt state, but not enough to overcome the paralysis to stand up. Her breathing seemed ragged. "My appologies..." the tone of her voice seemed to be one of sorrow. "Perhaps you could undo this paralysis, so that I may... explain myself?"

Ebon hmm'd lightly in thought about what it was about this Sera that caused that inkling feeling of evil to writhe inside him? Certainly it couldn't be...

Ebon's eyes widened when he looked upon the angel tattoo upon Sera's neck. "The angel...?" the words escaped Ebon's mouth softly. A myriad of images suddenly flashed through his mind, like a broken picture show. He groaned in pain, hands going to his head, the green-lit markings of his body flickering about him like lightning.

A collage of visions, no... memories were surfacing from his mind. "I can't..." Ebon groaned. "There's too many of them." He collapsed to the ground, trying to brace himself with his hands. His eyes closed tightly. "What are they? These visions... haunting me..."

Sera grinned.

[Razorirr]

"what are you doing to him!! let him be. dont tourture him any more! oh to hell with this, CONFUSE!" raz casted on sera to get her to lose her mental grip as he ran over to Ebon. "dont worry about those thoughts. they dont pertain to you. shes doing something to you. just think of me if you have to." i pull him into a hug hoping that the contact will pull him out of his mental torture.

[Ruby Mewtwo]

*Twosie, seeing the sight in front of her, becomes very scared that she is correct about that Sera character. Creepy... and a meanie for no reason to that shadow! She walked over to where Raz and the shadow Mewtwo are.*

~Are you OK, mister?~ Twosie asks the Shadow Mewtwo.

[Ebon]

Sera screamed out in absolutely horror as the confuse spell upon her ran her mental state around in circles. She was seeing things, that no one should see. "It's not me..." She voiced, even through the torture of the spell.

"I... can... help him..." but the next thing out of her mouth, was a blood-curdling scream as fell upon the ground, unable to curl up due to the paralysis.

Ebon stiffened within Raz's hug, a hand reaching up to grip tightly upon Raz's shoulder. "I can't focus..." He said, eyes closing and tighting, his body arching back. "There are too many... images... voices..." His voice was breaking up, becoming very silent, very distant.

[Razorirr]

raz revokes the confusion spell. "WHY SHOULD I TRUST YOU." he yelled to her.

raz teleports the three of us to my underwater base to get ebon into the nice dark.

"focus in on me ebon. clear your mind!"

[Ruby Mewtwo]

*Twosie, scared ut of her wits,sees the confused-but-scared Sera. She has a weird idea. Twosie runs to her bedroom and drags a box that says: "In case of emergency, use this kit!". It is her exorcism kit someone gave to her before she comes to the Temple. Twosie runs back to Sera.*

~Miss Sera... I think you are possessed. Let's see....~ Twosie says as she is getting her kit ready.

[Ebon]

"Why should you trust me?" Sera repeated, slowly standing up but still suffering from after effects of a confuse spell. "Agreed, you have no reason... but know this, I don't want him to go through this suffering as much as you do."

Ebon groaned with the pain, his body fading in and out from being solid, to being a mist. He tried to do what Raz was telling him, to focus and clear his mind, but there was something else. "I can't..."

Sera walked up slowly to Raz and Ebon, reaching a clenched hand down next to Raz. She opened her fingers slowly, upon her palm a darkblue, circular metal object. "Place this upon his forehead," she explained. "It'll help his psychic powers focus, separate the memories... before his powers get too out of control. If you don't, I can't be responsible for what takes place here." She smirks.

Ebon's grip upon Raz's shoulder tightened, a sign that the pain Ebon felt was getting worse.

"If it doesn't work," Sera continues. "Then you can kill me. Easy deal?" She giggles. "If it works, he should rest... and I'll tell you why I'm here."

[Razorirr]

"i couldnt kill you anyways. i dont kill unless i really have to." raz said as i take the rod and put it by his head. "this better work."

"here i have this to help you. and im going to put you into a nice peaceful slumber."

[Ruby Mewtwo]

*Twosie puts her kit down. She sits on the floor, despite her own confusion, of how she travelled to Raz's base. She thinks for a moment, then flies with her little lavender wings, to where the Shadow Mewtwo is.*

~Mister,~ Twosie started. ~I do not know why, but I think you are in real pain. Let me comfort you, please?~ she said as she is singng a soothing song, trying to confort someone she does not know, but know that this one is in deep pain.

[Ebon]

(Rod = Round object, placed on his forehead, just a little correction to what it was really supposed to be. Think star trek medical. ^^; )

With the object upon him, Ebon started to relax. The object began to glow, a blue light pulsating into his body. Within his mind, the images slowed, separated...

The voices got quiet. Ebon's grip upon Raz's shoulder loosened. He could hear a song, that came from the little creature named Twosie. A smile came to his face. "Everything's fine now," he told them, his body coming back into a solid form and then, relaxing completely into Raz's embrace as he passed into slumber. And he would be tired.

Sera smiled, quite warmly, and stepped out of the way for Ebon and Raz. A soft giggle came from her. "Now see, didn't I tell you? All better now."

[Razorirr]

raz just sits there holding Ebon although at that back more primal part of his mind wished it was sera that he was holding. "hes so peaceful sleeping. i dont know how he could be so tormented."

"im sorry i treated you so. i thought once you started looking for him that you were the angel in discuise. now you said you would tell me your story. im listening, go ahead."

[Ruby Mewtwo]

*When the Shadow Mewtwo named Ebon snoozed, Twosie stopped her singing and flies over to Sera.*

~Sera!~ Twosie said via telepathy. ~I need to talk to you. I have a feeling that something is wrong going on. Can you tell what's going on? It looks like you know 'Shaddy' over there, snoozing.~

[Razorirr]

*pulls twosie out of the air*

"shes just about to tell us. sit down"

[Ruby Mewtwo]

*Twosie got pulled from the air by Razoirr.*

~Wha!~

*She then sits on the floor.*

[Ebon]

Ebon slept peacefully upon the bed.

Sera licked her lips and smiled, giggling softly. "He's made such interesting friends here, hasn't he?" She asked with a smile, but it really wasn't a question to be answered. "No, I'm not that particular angel. I know that one... however. And I am after Ebon, just not to kill him."

Sera looked to Twosie with a smile. "Shaddy over there is named Ebon, sweety," she coo's lightly to Twosie. "And he's my brother, least... my older brother. We came from the same creator, he and I."

She looked back over to Raz. "Well, I can't quite explain it fully, because I don't know it all. He was used as warrior, best fighter I ever saw... there was a time when even light couldn't effect him. But something happened, he disappeared, lost his memories." She frowned, glancing over to Ebon again.

"I evolved into this mewthree form during his disappearance, trying to find him gave me that strength," Sera continued. "I love my brother, dearly. I'm here to help him.... help him find that strength to become that warrior I knew him so well as. Help him... defeat the angel that seeks out to destroy him."

Sera looked back to Raz, her peach eyes glancing between his. "In actuality, Ebon can engulf that light... he can destroy the angel. And he will... he must only be tested, pushed to the extreme."

[Razorirr]

raz sits and absorbs it all. "ok then, that would explain why i felt an attraction to both of you. you're related. now that you found him though, what do we have to do. i can teach him to fight somewhat. i know every move but some of them will blow up in my face. also i can teach him emotions if thats nessicary, hopefully its not becuse ill probablly fall in love with him because i tend to use myself as my student's target for his emotions and can't seem to keep myself from having it backfire."

[Ruby Mewtwo]

~E... bon.~ Twosie repeated what Sera said. ~Whew, your explaination melted my worries. But what is this purpose of that angel you talked about? Why that angel hurts your brother? I do not like pain, but I like to help though! Oh, and I almost forgot.... nice to meet you!~

[Ebon]

Sera nodded to Twosie with a smile. "Nice to meet you as well," she replied, then looking back to Raz.

"Fall in love with him?" She giggled softly. "If only you knew my brother before this, you would say such differently. He only cared about his job, barely spoke to me at times. Things like love, friendship, even family were not important to him. I never saw him smile or laugh. He was like a machine, programmed for one job and one job only... battle, to strike out at his targets without allowing such care as emotions get in his way."

Sera shook her head. "The angel is after him during his weakest point, to get rid of him... they're scared of what his memories will tell the rest of the world about. They can't allow their best warrior to live, and they care not to capture and retrain him." She tsks lightly.

"But... I love him, and I can't see him die. If at all possible, I would like to see him know emotions..." her voice grew softer, smiling over to Ebon sleeping upon th bed. "And fight for those emotions, fight for people he cares about... instead of being used as blind, mindless soldier again."

She looked to Raz again, that smile still there. "If he could know love, even if it's not love that only he can keep for himself. Anything will help him, Raz. I can help him with his powers... for mine are like the angels, and if he can defeat me, then he'll have a good chance against the one that is after him."

[Razorirr]

"let me tell you a story.

my mate karyan is over five hundred years old. he doesnt look it and doesnt act like it either. until recently he was about as evil as you can possiably get. he was even cannibalistic. i went out of my way just to show him compassion because he only knew hate. i took the hits that came with helping him. the blows to the head, the gut, the groin. he could have easily eaten me yet i still came back to him and worked with him.

if i could manage with that i could manage with a warrior. i seem to have this knack for being able to get peoples mental defences and change their thought processes for the better.

and if the angel and his people want to kill off ebon im the best one that he could be with. if anyone at the temple knows how to fight they know that im the best that there is. most of the time im extremely docile, but when my friends are threatened nothing can stand in my way.

[Ruby Mewtwo]

~Geez. Sounds like it is going to be tough, restoring your brother. What can I do to help him, Sera? I know Raz is helping, but what can I do?~ Twosie asks, concerned, and feeling sorry for Sera and her bro Ebon.

[Ebon]

Sera smiled and giggled softly to Raz. "Then I feel better, that Ebon is in such great hands..." She stated softly, leaning in and up to kiss Raz gently upon the cheek, a soft purr emitting from her throat.

She then pulled away, and looked to Twosie. "I'm not sure, sweety? What can you do?" She asks the tiny creature, tilting her head curiously. "Can you... perhaps show me to a place where I can rest and freshen up?"

[Razorirr]

*purrs, happy from getting kissed.* "yeah you probablly wouldnt want to use my shower. the thing is made for larger mewthree's. frankly youre a bit on the short side. then again that might be the right size for a three girl. we all seem to be treading in unexplored waters here," said raz as he hopped on the bed to sleep at ebon's feet.

[Ruby Mewtwo]

~Yep, I do know a place where you can rest. Hold on.~

Twosie said as she holds on to Sera's paw, teleporting herself and Sera to Twosie's big and clean bed in the Temple.

~This is my bed. This bed is so big, that really big creatures bigger than you can sleep in it! I like big comfy things. You sleep in the main part, I sleep on the pillow of the bed. We are in the BedChambers. But do not worry, I put a sound/viewproof barrier for here.~

said Twosie as she prepared the bed for Sera.

~Try to have a good night, Sera. You need the rest.~

[Ebon]

Sera giggled to Raz, waving to him and blowing him a kiss before Twosie teleported them out. She smiled and looked around the room, nodding to Twosie in agreement of the sleeping situation. "First I'll have that shower, Twosie, then to sleep," she says, walking over to the bathroom and slipping off her robe before entering. The sound of the shower running could be heard.

Several minutes later, the shower stopped and Sera came out, partially dry and wearing a large, white towel around herself. Her long white hair was damp. She sat down at a vanity table, taking up a comb to comb out her hair while drying it with another towel.

"How long have you been here, Twosie?" She asked, to continue their conversation.

[Ruby Mewtwo]

~Hmm. Since January of this year, Sera. The Temple can be reallllllllllllllllly crazy sometimes.~ Twosie answered, in her PJ's holding her Mewtwo stuffed doll. ~Do you want me to get your robe washed?~ she asks.

[Ebon]

Sera giggled. "No, it's okay sweety," she smiled over to Twosie. With a gesture of her hand the robe vanished in a soft light, and as Sera stood up a light flashed around her body to form a long, white lace nightgown. The towel she wore was in her hands, and she tossed it over with the other towel to the hamper within the room.

Sera walked over to the bed and sat down upon it. "This is very nice of you, Twosie, to allow me to share your room. And how do you mean the temple can get crazy?" She smiled, tightning her wings to her back and laying down on her side to face Twosie.

[Ruby Mewtwo]

*Twosie got startled when the robe dissapeared and a nightgown appeared!* ~Whoa!~ she thought, then calms down.

~Well, it depends on the craziness. Such as the BedChambers can be very active. Or sometimes if you want to relax in a hot spring, yiff happens in front of you. But one of the craziest... people actaully liking talking in geekspeak. But everyday, things are different. Oh, and no problem, sharing my room with you! :]~ Twosie said all that she knows of. She flies off the bed, goes to her toy box, gets a big Mewtwo stuffed doll, and gives it to Sera.

~If you have any nightmares, hold on to this! ^_^~ Twosie said to Sera after giving her the big Mewtwo doll.

[Ebon]

"Awww, thank you," Sera coo's lightly, holding onto the Mewtwo doll. "Well, it does seem like a very... interesting place. I'm sure I'll have a lot of fun." She giggled.

"So Twosie," she smiles, "Do you think my brother is cute?" She winks suggestively.

[Ruby Mewtwo]

~You're welcome! ^__^~ Twosie said. ~Oh yeah, this place is so fun! :D~

~Well, eheheh... ^^; Your brother has prettyful shadows, prettyful colours... Um... he is really prettyful, ehehe! But I hope he recovers well!~ Twosie answered her best way. ~I hope you make other good friends here! Because if that angel shows up again, I'll call all the re-inforcements! : D~

[Ebon]

"He is handsome, isn't he? Sometimes I wish I wasn't related to him, that I didn't see him as... a brother," she sighs. "And he will recover, don't worry. When one reaches the bottom, the only way to go is up... isn't it?" She smiles.

"I also hope that he finds Love, and lots of Friendship here... same for me," she smiles. "I'm risking my own life by being here, I fear. And I hope that you're right that re-inforcements will come. Our presence here, especially that of my brothers... may cause this Temple more harm than good." She frowns.

[Ruby Mewtwo]

((If you read her profile, Twosie is only 2 (calendar) years old. But smart because most Chao do not live long.))

~Yep! Up, up, up!~ Twosie said in entheusiasm (sp!?). ~Oooh, there are worse scenarios I have heard throughout the chatter. And some Mewtwos/Mewthrees, etc. that may befriend you and your bro. So, don't worry about that. Only time will tell! : D~

[Ebon]

"Well, I don't plan on being away from my brother's side for too long," Sera giggles, then stifles a yawn and snuggles into the bed. Hugging the stuffy, she closes her eyes and curls up. "Now that I found him," she says softly, smiling. "I don't ever want to let him go..." And with that, she allowed sleep to overcome her.

[Ruby Mewtwo]

*Twosie, seeing Sera asleep, shuts off the bedroom light, then falls asleep on her big bed, holding her Mewtwo doll.*

[Razorirr]

raz wakes up to find that over the night he had moved to ebon and curled up with him. well almost more like encased him. ebon was wrapped up inside raz's wings pulled tight to his body. only the back of his head was visible to raz.

"heh. musta felt the heat in the bed and thought it was karyan," he said as he tried to untangle himself from Ebon. he almost did too but still he was trapped. ebon was on top of his right wing.

[Ebon]

Ebon stirred in his sleep, his deep green eyes opening slowly to gaze upon Raz. Seeing the mewthree so close, and the position he was in (laying on Raz's right wing) Ebon shifted himself off of the wing. He tried so his movements didn't harm Raz. "Raz..." Ebon spoke softly. His hand went up to touch the mechanism that was upon his forehead, which was still working to help him sort his memories. "I remember fully, who I am... who that mewthree was before. She is, Serafina, my sister."

Then suddenly Ebon was standing, but it didn't look like he moved to stand. He simply faded out into the darkness and was standing suddenly, standing near the bed with his back turned to Raz. His eyes stared straight foreward. He was concentrating upon something...

He was telepathically calling to someone. ~Sera... Sera, are you awake?~

-------------------------------------------

(In twosie's bedroom:)

Sera began to stir, waking up from her slumber. She still held onto the Mewtwo stuffed doll. A smile came to her lips, seeing the sunlight coming through the open window.

She heard the telepathic call of Ebon, she purred to its feel. ~Ebon, I can sense you. My brother, I'm still here.~ She sent through telepathic message to him.

Sera looked to Twosie and smiled. "Good morning, sweety," she said softly to Twosie.

[Razorirr]

"thats great ebon! i bet sera would be proud to hear that her device thing healed you. she told me your story while you were asleep.

sera would be in twosies room, ebon. sera was staying with her since this place is built more for men. tell her to come back if you want to see her, im sure that she will come."

[Ruby Mewtwo]

~Morning, Sera!~ Twosie greeted back. ~How was your sleep? I slept well! Are you hungry?~

[Ebon]

Ebon gave a small smile to Raz, finding his enthusiasm humorous. He nodded in agreement. ~Sera, if you wanted to see me, come back to Raz's room,~ he sent.

~Does he have you captive there, dear brother?~ Sera sent with a giggle.

Ebon smirked lightly to that comment.

---------------

(In Twosie's room:)

"I slept well, thank you Twosie," Sera replied to Twosie. "And yes I am hungry, but... I wish to go back to Raz's room first to see my brother." She smiles, climbing out of bed. In what seemed like a wave of light over her body, the nightgown changed into that of a peachy summer dress.

She placed the Mewtwo stuffed doll onto the bed gently and smiled. "Perhaps we can meet you in the Temple kitchen in a bit? I do make marvelous pancakes. I'd love to cook breakfast," Sera continued, then walking out into the middle of the room. "If you come with, that's okay..." She giggles, then disappearing in a soft flash of light.

-----------------

(Back in Raz's room:)

Sera appeared in a soft flash of light, immediately running over to Ebon and embracing him in a hug. "Ebon!" She giggles happily, "I'm so happy to see you're well."

Ebon stiffened slightly with the sudden embrace, but slowly after a moment he began to place his arms around Sera. "It's good to see you too, Sera..."

Sera smiled and glanced over to Raz as she released Ebon. "So what did you two boys do all night, hmmm?" She asked with a soft purr.

[Ruby Mewtwo]

~OK! ^^~ Twosie said in entheusiasm as she flies over to the Temple kitchen, getting a few things together.

[Razorirr]

raz smiles at serafina and says, "well, we both just slept. and during our sleep i guess i thought he was karyan because i woke up with me wrapped around him like karyan and i sleep. nothing naughy though."

[Ebon]

Sera giggled at Raz's explaination. "Nothing naught? Awww..." She cooed lightly.

A light red tinge seemed to cross Ebon's face... he was blushing. He turned his head away from Raz and Sera to try to hide it, but Sera noticed it and brought her hand over to Ebon's cheek, lifting his head over to look at her.

"I like that colour on you..." Sera said softly, smiling.

Ebon didn't know what to say, so he only smiled. Sera felt warm inside by being able to be this close to her brother again, and to see him do two things she'd never seen him do... blush and smile.

That made Sera giggle again, dropping her hand from Ebon's face. "On another note, Twosie should be in the kitchen... and I promised to make my famous pancakes. Who wants some?!" She squeeled with delight.

Ebon blinked innocently. "Pancakes?" He asked, "I don't ever remember..."

"That's because you were always doing something, or training, and needing special meals..." Sera interrupted him, frowning. "But now," she took his hand, pulling him into the center of the room. "You get to taste my pancakes!"

Sera glanced over to Raz, holding out her free hand. "Coming... Raz?" She smiled.

[Razorirr]

"should i trust your pancakes sera. from that 'awww' that you let out after i said we werent doing anything naughty i might have to look out for them to be spiked with love potion or something!










not that id mind!" said raz jokingly. "sure ill come and have some. do i get razberrys in them," he asked, delebrately pronunceing the berrys like his name.

[Ebon]

"Depends on what's in the kitchen..." Sera purred lightly, winking suggestively. She then disappeared in a soft light.

Ebon chuckled softly and disappeared in a coil of darkness.

Ebon and Sera reappeared in the kitchen where Twosie was. "So Twosie, any raspberries around?" Sera asked.

Ebon found a nice dark corner to stand in, folding his arms across his chest and leaning against the wall.

[Orgun]

He slowly passed through wall after wall using the shadows as his transport, he stopped abruptly near the kitchen, he looked in and saw the new arrivals. He rolled his eyes and turned around and walked off, his cloak flowing around him.

[Razorirr]

"that sneaky one was orgun," said raz as he went to sit by ebon's feet. "hes almost the temple ghost."

~i think your sister wants us to hook up ebon.~

[Ruby Mewtwo]

*Twosie sees Ebon and Sera*

~Welcome back! Hmmm... let's see. *looks into the fridge* Yep! We have a lot of things in the kitchen, ehehe!! ^^~

[Ebon]

"Good! I'll need two mixing bowls, one large and one medium. I'll need a few eggs, flour..." Sera went on with a list of ingredients, busying herself with looking through cabinets.

Ebon had noticed the momentary lurker, but then blinked innocently to Raz's mind speach. He slowly turned his head to look at Raz, but that innocent look upon his face vanished slowly as his eyes narrowed. And he shook his head... stepping further into the shadows, deeper into the darkness.

Out of the corner of Sera's eye, she could see Ebon's reaction. She frowned and sighed softly, slowly starting to work on the pancake mix.

[Razorirr]

*sees his eyes go squinty and puts out some feelers to ebon's intentions at the moment.*

"hey if you want to ever fight to get stress or whatever out of your system im more then a match for you."

~if i offended im sorry. just voicing what she seems to want for you~

[Ebon]

"She doesn't know what I want..." Ebon stated softly, turning his head to look away from Raz. "I know that, because I don't even know what I want."

The shadows that Ebon stood within began to shift only slightly, seeming to syphon slowly into his body, making him appear more solid. It didn't seem like he noticed it, as his eyes looked away, the way he stood shutting out everything that was around him.

"And wouldn't your mate not agree with such, anyways?" Ebon inquired, turning his head finally to look at Raz.

[Razorirr]

"she wants you to find love and the other happier emotions that you didnt know when you were a fighter.

and as to what karyan would agree with im not sure. he knows that ive been with other people but he never has said anything and i guess he lets me do it because he has no intrest in sex and well, i do. he knows that i will always be his and only his and that the others that i love could never replace him. if he ever told me to stop going with others i would instantly and he knows it. but so far he hasn't"

[Ebon]

"And what if I don't want it...?" Ebon replied. "What if I don't want this love... these happier emotions? What if I was happy as a fighter, without knowing love... friendship?" He glances over to Sera, who is busy mixing things together.

"No one has a right to say what I want. She has no right to choose who I'm with... especially you, Raz," He narrowed his eyes in anger again, glancing back at Raz. "And I shall take you up on that spar one of these days... simply when I'm stronger."

[Razorirr]

"then ill fight you. you will always be a friend to me even if you hate me. to me it will be like a relationship with azreal. the evil three. its not that we are pusing these things on you to force you to use them. we are doing it to show you that there are diffrent things out there."

raz moves over to sera, starting to see ebon as a lost cause. "im not going to have you turn on me like he just did am i?"

[Ebon]

Sera giggled to Raz's question, lifting a floury hand up to poke his nose. She left a little flour dot upon his nose and smiled. "You just have to give him time... go slow," she said, winking suggestively while she walked in closer to him. One of her legs came up to rub up Raz's thigh.

"It's always good to go slow," she purred softly to him, tilting her head slightly and lowering her leg. "So do you like the raspberries in the mix or topped? Or both?" She giggles again.

Ebon watched the two and growled lowly, softly beneath his breath. The shadows around the kitchen reacted to his growing anger, writhing almost dangerously.

[Razorirr]

raz rubs his head againts her sholder." put them in the mix. thanks."

he notices his shadow going nuts and stops it from moving. "you dont get this one ebon."

[Ebon]

Ebon whinced slightly, seemingly in pain, but it disappeared quickly. The force of a shadow being not under his control was surprising to him. He grinned at the thought, shook his head and turned slightly to the side to completely meld with shadows he was within.

Sera giggled happily and took some raspberries, putting them in the mix. When the heating pan was hot enough, she started to pour the mix into it and cook the pancakes.

"Twosie, any whipped cream around?" Sera asked.

[Razorirr]

"oh those smell good already!" said raz as he takes a seat and looks at sera making food.

"him not being able to move my shadow seemed to make him mad. is that how you keep him in check?"

[Ebon]

Sera smiled to Raz, flipping the pancakes with ease. "Actually no. He needs the shadows. The stronger he gets, the more control he has over the shadows. One of these days, you just might not be able to do that again," Sera explains, then winks to Raz with a giggle. "I'll just leave the rest to surprise." She leans in to kiss his cheek softly, smiling as she leans out. "Think you could get plates and silverware ready?"

[Razorirr]

goes and grabs plates for all of us. blushing like mad from the kiss and also purring like a happy kitten from it. "ill learn how to keep it from him. people do not take what is mine unless im giving it to him."

raz finishes setting the places and cocks his head thinking something is missing. "Ahh. glasses!" he said and got them out.

[Ebon]

Suddenly as Raz was walking back with the glasses, Ebon appeared in front of him. It seemed that half of Ebon's body, mainly his arms, shoulders, and part of his legs, was covered in what seemed to be a dark armour. The shadows still followed him, seeping up and creating the armour little by little.

"And you state your shadow belongs to you, Raz?" Ebon asked, eyes narrowing slightly. "What gave you that idea?"

Sera ignored what was going on between Ebon and Raz as she placed the raspberry pancakes onto a plate and started some more. She hummed a soft tune as she cooked, a warm smile across her face.

[Razorirr]

raz starts drawing power to use what would be a rather powerful attack at the moment, light, (or is it flash? you get it from an hm). "that shadow is casted off of me by the light. that makes it mine. just like sera's shadow is hers. if you think that all shadows are yours youre mistaken. now get rid of that armor or ill filll this room with so much light that these shadows cant even exist!"

[Ruby Mewtwo]

*Twosie looks at the fridge, finding whipped cream. She found two types. The one in a can, the other in a container, lol.*

~Which one you want?~ Twosie asks.

[Ebon]

"I never stated all shadows were mine... simply..." Ebon started, his eyes looking away from Raz.

"The one in the can is fine," Sera replied with a smile to Twosie. She then looked over to Raz and Ebon. "Raz... where do your powers come from? Ebon's is that of darkness, shadow, so he needs them... and as such, his weakness is quite apparent, neh?"

Sera giggled. "The fact that Ebon is now growing that armour, means that he's becoming stronger... he'll be able to withstand his weakness more with it on."

"Don't try, Sera..." Ebon's said in a whispered voice, walking away from Raz and to Sera. "He wouldn't be able to understand anyways."

Sera simply nodded, then taking up a spatula proudly. "Who want's PANCAKES?" She squealed in the end.

[Razorirr]

"i used to not have powers before. well i had them but they were not that good. then i got in a fight and got hit on the head. all of the sudden i became the best fighter here. the problem is is that i dont have full control. i can do most attacks but if i try something like fissure i run the chance of it backfiring. and i know some moves that others dont. like dispel. dispel destroys most types of armor and magical shielding."

"and ebon i have a genius IQ. i bet i can understand."

"wait...OHHHH PANCAKE!" *starts rubbing on sera trying to get her to give me a pancake or get her to drop one so he can catch it.*

[Ruby Mewtwo]

~Oooh, me, me!!~ Twosie said as she raised her little paw up, flying over to Sera with the can whipped cream. ~Here you go, Sera! Mmm, these pancakes look good!~
