The Darkness Saga- Chapter Four Fallen Light

[mega fire13]

Looking down towards the ground, it saddens him to think that he hasen't really thought of Weirdo and the others for so long, after what the hedgehog had done for them, he should have had them all in his thoughts more then he has for the past couple of weeks. "I would give us a light portal back to them, but recently Carrie's experiments have been making it difficult to trace their lights in that city, So." Reaching into his bag he pulls out a couple of bills from it. "we'll have to use the money we were saving for that home you wanted for the trip back, Sorry." Handing her the money they have been earning for the past year to her, he begins to walk back towards the town so that they may collect the bounty on the beasts they have just slain.

Seeing the hedgehog move as fast as he did caught the black furred mercenary off guard, he had expected some type of flight ability or something due to him being on the roof of the manor. Hearing him talk he got annoyed by how little the intruder took him, and was about to knock the intruder out when he heard him talk about his fridge. He only realized who this guy was by the stories he has been told of Carrie’s old team.

Watching him go he slowly followed the hedgehog back into the house. Following him he saw the noise and trouble he was causing, and only sighed at how stupid this being was. “Elvora was right, he really was the dumb one of the group.” Following the guy downstairs he was able to catch the conversation and saw the situation first hand on what just happened, or almost happened as Elvora stopped it in time. Hitting the switching that was near the door of the kitchen, he sighed as he really started to hate the people Carrie used to know. “You were about to shoot the head of an old ally of yours Carrie, one you used to call Damage, or is this one Domain? As you both have told me they do look very similar to one another.” walking to Elvora’s side he saw that this hedgehog seemed more…’feral’ then what the description these two have given him before. “Now why would you do all this? Instead of using the front door? You have not only woken the children from their rest, but you have also caused the misses here to get quiet cross with you. And trust me you don’t like her when she gets like this, but I’m sure you already know that.” Hearing noise come from behind him, he can only tell who was behind him, or whom as he knows both of them are there. “And you two, off to bed, I’m sure Elvora already told you two to stay in the room.” Referring to the twins he’s been protecting for years, he knows that curiosity has often led to them trouble one more than one occasion and he knows that this is no exception.

Aura and Shiro had been peeking from the top floor banister like two little night owls, watching the chaos that had unraveled from the noises they heard. Hearing Kalik's warning tone, the two dashed off back to their room without another glance.

"You lost control for a minute Carrie. I'm not sure why or how either." Elvora explained, her expression grim. "I think it's about time you vacationed a bit and go to your apartment within Nocturnal. You need time to clear your head, and even your emotions out. Being here in Crisis has taken a toll on you."

Carrie frowned, sighing as she slipped the safety back onto the revolver before putting it away. ". . .You're right." she frowned, looking at her dark twin. "I have no idea how or why I lost myself in that split moment. . ."

"There must be an imbalance of darkness, and from you and Silver fighting you allowed it to throw you out of whack. You need to clear your head otherwise we'll have an issue again. Think about your children Carrie. You don't want them to end up like you from a few years ago." Elvora warned. "I want your bags packed and ready to go come morning and I don't-"

"There's a problem with that though Elvora. I got an email from Mendo about Weirdo's anniversary is coming up."

". . .What? You're kidding me."

Carrie shook her head. "No. I'm not kidding you." she answered. "I can't be gone long, but I will take a lightweight duffel bag for now and head out for the night. A couple of days will be enough for me to clear my mind so I'm in better health. Meanwhile, I ask a favor."

"Which is?" Elvora prompted.

". . .Knock some sense into Silver for me." Carrie said, looking down the hallway to Silver, who seemed to still be in a daze as he slowly approached the group. She shook her head and turned her back, making her way to the flight of stairs. "He seems to be in "la la land" these days. He needs to get his priorities straight and I don't give a damn on what you use in order to make him wake up on what he's been doing to this family."

"That's okay Kelico. I'm sure we'll be able to earn it back in no time." Blaze said, smiling a bit. "Though it kind of makes me wonder on what Carrie has been-"

Before she could finish her sentence, Blaze's phone began to ring. Pulling it out of her backpack again, she checked the caller ID and noticed it was her friend's number on the screen.

Talk about coincidence.

Sighing a bit, Blaze answered her phone her expression grim. "Hey Alura. I wasn't expecting a call from you."

"Because of it being late where I am? Yeah, I know. But I'm actually leaving Crisis tonight and I'm heading to my apartment in Nocturnal. Elvora's orders." Carrie explained on the other end. "I. . .something. . .strange, happened to me. Somehow Damage showed up here and wrecked havoc on my sleeping household and doesn't even remember anything."

"That doesn't seem strange to me though." Blaze frowned.

". . .That's not the strange part though Blaze. When he did cause the havoc, something. . .triggered within me. I'm not sure what it was, but I lost control tonight and nearly put a bullet in his head."

"Hold on. . .what?!" Blaze exclaimed.

"Look, it's a long story. I'm not sure how it even happened. I'm sure you and Kelico are trying to find a way back, but if possible, I need you to meet me in Nocturnal. Cosmar Vesnic is possible. I'll talk to you then."

The phone then disconnected.

Blaze sighed, putting her phone away. This was turning into a strange day after all.

Damage stopped smiling for a moment and watched what unfolded. "Seems like things have changed since I've been gone." Damage Walked over to Elvora and gives her a look. "Elvora I have been gone for fifty years in my time but it is good to see everyone...Old and new. However I think I need to be brought up to speed on what the hell is happening or happened or just plan going on. Because right now I feel like it would be easier to defuse a nuclear bomb with a two minute timer and getting shot at. Trust me it's not fun.....ANYWAYS!" Damage claps his hands loudly and smiles. "I Seemed to have cased chaos to everyone...Again so how about I make us some tea and we can talk like grown adults. Because right now I think you all could use a cup. ALSO just got here so didn't know whose home this was and the people who know me know I think with my gut before my head sometimes...Now then tea....Where is that kitchen."

Aile finally decided to head for bed since being like this and stay up late at night wasn't good for her health at all. Though she couldn't stop thinking of Damage with him gone for this long sadden her a bit that she hasn't seen him in years. She got her pjs on and went to bed.

"About time she needed to sleep anyway guess I'll do the same" Vashira said yawning and laying down to get her sleep that she needed as well.  

[AgentRhodeIsland]

"About damn time you remembered. . .chaos' name. . ." Elvora grumbled, shaking her head at Damage while pinching the bridge of her nose. "Come with me and I'll debrief you on what's going on. Carrie is getting her stuff packed so that way she can go clear her head in Nocturnal. Something is just not right here. . .As for the kitchen, just follow me. But don't touch anything unless I say so."

"Wait. . .she's doing what?!" Silver exclaimed after he was in earshot.

"Shut the hell up and come with us!" Elvora snapped, roughly grabbing Silver's arm and dragging him down the hallway. "You and I have to have a chat too. . ."

-Two days pass-

Weather: Cloudy forcast with slight drizzles every few minutes

 

[MirageXX]

Aile woke up and got dressed still thinking about a lot of things mostly about the others and how they were doing on there own. She just sighed at the thought that everything fell apart in front of her at that time friends leaving hardly talking to each other now her cheerful self gone now.

Vashira watched her yet again sighing as this was very boring to her everyday she had to do to this watch her to make sure she didn't do anything dum at all. Which was rare now though she didn't want to take a chance.

Kasumi got up looked at her photo of her and Weirdo has a few tears go down still missing him while trying to move on still haven't. She feels like that she could of done something to have him still here with her felt like she wasn't strong enough on her own. She sighed setting the photo down.

"Aura Shiro! I know you took your mothers books again!" Walking down the hallway the black furred mercenary was looking for the small children he was in charge of. "You know your mother has forbade you two from doing anything with those books!" Opening doors left and right looking for the two young children the merc began to get more and more annoyed at the children hiding from him. "You'll be in more trouble if i have to find you two!" Yelling more to the children he searched more in the manor for the two children.

Damage was behind Kalik with a small grin on his face. "You know your not very good at hide and seek Burn. Also I'm sure there is nothing to worry about with books....Unless there is dark magic involved then we would need to find them fast." Damage has been staying there since he got there and the only reason he is allowed there is because he is paying rent and leaves to eat since they wouldn't have any food if he eats there. He also cooks for them randomly. "Anyways as the twin's uncle I say once the bad weather is done I take them to a amusement park where we can play games, eat junk food, go on rides, eat junk food, win prizes, and eat junk food. IT WOULD BE A DAY TO REMEMBER!"

Domain was at a hotel reading a newspaper. Domain found Damage Yesterday but didn't show himself since he wanted to be able to be invisible in plan sight still. He found where everyone is and what they have been doing. Domain sighed and shook his head as he tossed the paper to the ground. Everyone has seem to go off the deep end since they left. Weirdo's sacrifice has hit everyone for the last three years. Domain walks out of his room and is now ready to let some people know that he is back.

Aura and Shiro chuckled quietly as they watched the mercenary pass by them several times. They hid out of view on top of a cabinet, and it was the only spot where they couldn't be found.

However, as soon as they heard the sound of the front door opening, the twins quickly scurried down from their hiding spot to the sounds of their mother saying, "I'm home!"

Carrie sighed as she closed the door behind her, dropping her bag onto the floor by the bench. She didn't expect the inclimate weather, and she was drenched from head to foot. She had some time to recuperate, but now it was time to get back to business. Her vacation time off work was starting to come to an end, and eventually she would have to go back.

"Feeling any better?"

Carrie looked over to the stairwell, seeing Elvora walking down it. With a sigh, she tossed her coat over to her identical other, who catches it with ease.

"A little bit. Where are the twins?" Carrie responds, crossing her arms,

"Causing trouble as usual. They seem to like to mess with Kalik a lot, so they decided to take off with one of your books and are now playing a round of hide and seek. It seems they never tire of it," Elvora sighs, all the while chuckling slightly.

"That's my kids for you. Always hyper and energetic." Carrie says with a slight smile.

"Mommyyyyyyy!!!!!"

Shiro and Aura come barreling down the hallway at the sight of their mother being home. With laughter and excitement, they tackle her playfully while dropping her book onto the ground forgotten,

"We missed you mommy!" Aura chirped, her eyes twinkling.

"I missed you guys too." Carrie chuckles.

Elvora sighed again, picking up Carrie's sodden travel bag off of the ground, throwing that and her coat down the laundry Shute. "We'll talk once you're settled in again. Spend some time with your kids for a bit and then come and see me. I'll be waiting in your study." She says before taking her leave.

Blaze stretched her arms over her head, having just woken up after her long trip to the meeting point where soon she will meet everyone else. The other night she met Carrie in Nocturnal, the news that was relayed still making her on edge. . .

Walking into the crowded club of cosmar Vesnic was always a bit unnerving to Blaze. She didn't feel comfortable with the pounding music and the constant drunks and people on ecstasy. Why Carrie preferred this place was beyond her.

"The quicker we meet her the quicker we can get out of this dark hell hole. I hate it here just as much as you do." Kelico said, as if he was able to read her thoughts.

As they headed to the sitting area, they spotted her right away. The dark demeanor, the dark circles around her eyes from all of those sleepless nights. Blaze knew that silver was starting to take a toll on her. Upon approaching the private booth, Carrie looked up to see them both standing there.

"Glad you could make it. Please, have a seat." Carrie said, waving over to the empty space.

Blaze and Kelico sat down across from her, worry marred on their faces.

"I'm surprised you even called us here this late Carrie. You know being out late is dangerous, especially in a dreary place like this." Kelico said, crossing his arms.

"Well, there wasn't another time I could meet you guys. It had to be now." Carrie frowned.

"It's fine, just tell me what exactly happened Carrie. I know you were telling me over the phone, but you really need to start explaining the whole story." Blaze said, her expression grim.

". . .I can't remember much sadly. I do remember rushing through the window after hearing a noise outside. After that, everything seemed to blur and I found myself slipping from control. I black out, and when I finally regain myself I'm in my house with a gun pointed at damage with the safety off it." Carrie explained, sighing.

"In chaos' name. . .you don't mean. . ." Kelico whispered hoarsely.

"Exactly what I mean. Blaze. . .kelico. . .i think the darkness isn't gone and is slowly building up again. I could become a fallen again against my own free will." Carrie finished.

The rest of the night was a blur to Blaze, and as she got out of bed, the constant thought of the darkness possibly returning didn't bode well. Was it coincidence? Or was Carrie making false premonitions again? The stress did look like it got to her. Blaze only sighs as she opens the curtains of the hotel room to let what light was out there in.
