She should return to heaven....there is no turning back for her
8 She thought he was dead? did she hear about the whole incident at Leon's or maybe she saw the little session he had with Regulus. Either way he smiled as the two of them approached each other gave a quick hug, which felt all too strange for him. She went from a mere child all the way to a teen in such a short moment. At the rate she was going he was soon going to have to call her a granny or something. It was now that he hoped to god that the girl's growth would at least slow down. When they separated Alistair could only grin and return his smirk with his own "Heh I used to be able to carry you on top of my shoulder...now look at you...ahhhhhhh your making me feel so old" Alistair said with a hearty laughter as he looked over at her and crossed his arms. Her expression had turned serious and Alistair raised an eyebrow at the girl before her sudden request for him to train her was said. It really shouldn't have been a surprise for him as it was obvious she came here to train, but it still caught him off guard for some odd reason. He let out a chuckle as he stared back down at her "and how can I deny my most diligent and hard working student?" Alistair said raising his right arm as a blade popped out it. "well then shall we begin? I don't have to tell you to not hold back" Alistair said lowering his arm ready to go into the defensive, but stopped instantly the moment he noticed the newcomer appear and chuckled as he noticed Soren. "well then...the training rooms going to be quite the party today" Alistair said.
And just before people start thinking he is a new playable character Sakurai: Pic of the day. Here's a new Assist Trophy--the Skull Kid! I repeat, it's an Assist Trophy, not a new fighter. The characters announced on the website are the fighters!
Alistair was not one to sleep in, he always had much to do and he did not want to waste time idly by. He wasted enough time with the recovering period for his new heart and he was quite eager to make it up with some new training. The chest hurt like hell, but it would have to do for now, he wouldn't let pain hold him back. He let out a loud yawn as he got out of the room and walked off. With new jacket on he walked towards his next destination. Scratching the back of his head lazily he let out a sigh as he walked on towards the training room, but paused instantly. To his surprise there was somebody inside the training room before him. Usually Regulus would come in at a later time and Samuel was now gone, so he was quite curious to see just who was it in the training room. The training room was like his second room so he needed to see just who was it that was taking his turf. He silently opened up the door and entered without a sound and raised an eyebrow as he watched a girl act train. It took him a second but that girl seemed all too familiar and a soft smile crept across his face as he watched her train. He raise his hand and pointed his finger like a gun. With the finger a small blade was shot from the fingertip, soared past the side of Cal's head and hit the head of a dummy i order to get her attention. "My my my, It's been quite the while since I last saw you...you've grown into quite the beautiful girl Cal" Alistair said walking deeper into the training room and crossed his arms.
His efforts were a success! maybe he wasn't so worthless after all! Cal was actually smiling and she even managed to laugh a bit. He sat down on her lap and smiled happily as he listened to her speak about him and his future. The more he heard her speak about it the more excited he grew. When he was bigger things were going to defiantly change. His dad and mama were going to be so proud of his new found strength and he would be able to do so much more! When he was older Cal would not have to look after him any more, no it was going to be the opposite! he would help Cal out as much as she wanted and she wouldn't be sad. Though Cal was the one he was mostly thinking of, he still did not forget the other children that were like him. When he grew up he was going to try his best and be able to help them as well! everybody would be happy and it would be because of him. When Cal decided to leave, Caius rested on his bed and snuggled in as he watched her leave. He didn't understand the whole talk about boyfriends and all, but nonetheless he raised his hand up energetically and waved in farewell as she left. With her gone Caius let out a yawn due to the fatigue of the day. He hoped he would be able to grow even faster despite growing at a ridiculous rate already. There was nothing more for him to do except rest his head on his pillow. With that he drifted off to sleep instantly.
Sheer pain in his chest pierced him as immediately the aristocrat arose from his bed, holding his chest in pain. "God fucking damn it" Alistair grumbled as he looked around noticing he was in the operating room. All sorts of corpses, both humanoid and not were scattered all over the place and in the middle of it was Regulus working away on a corpse as usual "quite the subtle bastard aren'tcha" Alistair said scratching the back of his head with a lazily groan. "Ah...Alistair...it seems your awake...careful...we do not want that heart of yours to explode on you...I won't be giving you a replacement" Regulus said no even giving Alistair a glance as he continued to work on the body before him. "Yeah yeah, I'd thank you but I damn well know you wanted to do that for your own interest" Alistair said rising to his feet but noticed a woman holding up a new jacket for Alistair. "hmmm so this is the bitch that went off and shanked me from behind...impressive" Alistair said taking the jacked that belonged to Regulus and swapped the bloodied one for the fresh one. Crossing his arms he stared at her "so this is your little pet...I'm quite surprised the transfusion actually went through" Alistair said cupping the emotionless girls chin and he stared at her "Just a mere doll" Alistair said with a grin before letting it go and took grasp of a little bottle that held the other half of Danel's heart. For now Alistair merely placed the organ away into his pocket so he could return it to Danel. "Well then...I have no business here...I'm off to sleep and then early training for me" Alistair said with a grin before leaving the room. Eventually the two head off from the room and head to sleep. Regulus went off to his room while Alistair decided to hijack Araquiel's room and sleep there. Azrael was getting restless and training was like an addiction.
Laurence wishes he could say that his time in this whole world was perfect and even though he loved the pure atmosphere and was living in a world he dreamed of, the continuous migraines just bothered him even more. He didn't know what it was that caused these headaches but he really didn't care. To be in the goddess' den and to be able to frolic in the house was worth the headache he received. With a yawn Laurence ran off to the bedroom and laid on the bed thinking about all that had happened. He just didn't understand it, why were people still so upset even though they were in paradise? they got whatever they wanted with no cost at all. Anything they wanted was there for them and there was no reason for them to be mad, yet the anger and hate was still there. Tears formed in Laurence's eyes as he thought about how unfair this was, but he still held onto hope that things would change, he felt that they would soon realize the wonders of this world and that they would love one another. When he thought about hate he began to think about the poor girl that got her hand stabbed...but for some reason he didn't care about it...why was this? he always loved everybody so why did he not care about her? He closed his eyes and soon drifted off to sleep.
They were quite the interesting bunch that's for sure. More and more as time went by the doubts in him began to form and there were many questions all rummaging around. If they really were travelling all around where did they get the funds for such an endeavour. All of them barely looked even past 25 yet here they were recruiting a child of all things. Were they this desperate that they needed to drag around what appeared to be a child? As they walked on the girl brought up an interesting point. Her comrade named Elise had already introduced herself to him and through that he already knew the name of Joslyn it was nice to see the girl formally introduce herself to him like that "Hmm yes, your friend Elise already told me your name but I still appreciate being introduced like this. As you know my name is William...pleasure to meet you Joslyn" Will said giving her a nod before turning away. "well then as much fun as this is I'd best head home" William said turning away raising his hand in farewell "I shall meet you here tomorrow so don't fret and think I am ditching" William said as he walked off with a final wave and head back to the apartment next door and let out a sigh. With that he closed his eyes and collapsed on the bed, falling asleep the moment he rested on the bed.
Her voice was soothing and slowly brought him at ease as he listened to her speak. She denied that he was a failure, but he still couldn't stop feeling like one. He looked up at her face as she began to speak one more and he began to calm down much more as he heard her explain the reason for his father's scary stare. Blinking away the tears in his eyes, he closed his eyes and sniffled as she kissed his forehead. The opening of the door caught his attention and his eyes glanced over at Soren and Anna as the two walked in. Caius was kind of jealous that everybody in the room had a sibling except for him, but it didn't really make him mind since they were like siblings either way. For some reason Soren never liked him, but then again Soren was always angry so he didn't really know what exactly Soren actually liked. He noticed Anna's wave and meekly gave her a small wave back before hugging Cal again as the girls spoke about Soren. His eyes widened as he was suddenly lifted up and she began to hug him once more. He looked down at her as the sudden thought had reached his mind. Unlike him she had no dad, none of them had a dad except for him. Was Cal sad about this? He didn't like when she was sad. A newcomer had arrived and Caius' attention was once again drawn over at Mali as she spoke. Her words seemed to upset Cal and though Mali made fun of him, it upset him more that Cal was upset. Narrowing his eyes at Mali, he closed his eyes and stuck his tongue at her and then turned back at Cal and pat her head with his hand "don't be sad , having a dad is...whats the word....overrated..." Caius said putting on a smile trying to make things better.
Caius tried with all his might to try and stop crying, to stop the tears and move on and be strong, but that was far harder to do that he ever thought. All he wanted was his father's love but even that was something he might not ever get. The tears continued to flow, but the sudden warms and embrace he felt changed that. The tears that had managed to be held back just immediately began to flood as he hugged the girl, unable to hold it in anymore. "I'm..such a...failure" Caius struggle to say with each sob as he held her tightly making sure not to harm her with his horns. Cal was somebody who was always there for him and he cared for her greatly. Azrael was a fun guy...but from what he saw the mere memory only made it worse for the child. The tears ran, but they started to slow down as he tried his best to try and say what had happened. "I...I just wanted daddy to be proud of me...I-I tried to impress him by showing him I could stay up when we were together so I went to the training room all by myself" Caius began to say with a little pride in his accomplishment, but that changed upon the thought about what happened next. "I saw daddy...with a stranger that held up Azrael's body" Caius said beginning to tremble "I-I think he was dead...." Caius said burying his head into her "I tried to talk to daddy...but he was just annoyed and when I asked if he would like to spend time with me he gave me a really scary look and left" Caius said shaking even more than when he spoke about Azrael. The fearful cold stare still lingered in his body and all it did was tell him just how worthless he was to the man.
A piercing pain made itself known in his head as the little boy rose up from his bed instantly and held it tightly. The horns resting upon his head were never the most pleasant, but the fact that they were a gift from his father meant the world for him. Caius could never understand why his father wanted him while he was asleep and even the times he was awake he would still fell asleep no matter how hard he tried. "Today I'm not going to fall asleep! today I will be able to spend time with daddy!" those were the thoughts that he would tell himself whenever he was taken by his father. He felt like a disappointment, he felt like he was a failure. His father was always a scary man, but maybe that was because he fell asleep all those time and disappointing the man severely. Even so that man was his dad and he was sure to love him...that was what he believed and his main objective was to make his dad proud. Maybe his father would be able to make the pain go away...he hoped for this with all his might. He was fully dressed and fully ready to march out. Filled with determination and hope the boy rushed out from his sleeping quarters and out of the room. He would make his dad happy, he was positive. He walked towards the operating room and slowly opened the door peeking his little head into it to see what his father was up to. To his surprise there was nobody and Caius snapped his fingers in frustration. How could he prove himself if his dad wasn't there? he began to cross his arms and think hard before it finally hit him. A bright cheerful smile arose on his face as he ran down the halls. To be honest for the little child it was a nerve-racking experience for him to walk off all alone in the halls like this and he swore it was the first time he did it alone. Regardless of this he knew where he was going and soon enough he reached his destination. The training room was where his father would always go to, but something strange happened. A mysterious figure had entered the room before he got there and he raised an eyebrow as he watched it go in. Running up to the door, Caius took a deep breath in and sighed. The moment of truth had arrived and he had to be ready to prove himself to his father. He opened the door slightly and peeked inside still hesitating from entering fully. What he saw made his eyes widen as he stared at the mysterious figure inside. The mysterious figure he saw was what looked like a feminine body cloaked in a cloth, her face blocked by a mask. She held up a lifeless corpse with red hair by the throat. He had seem his father's workings before but to see Azrael a part of his working...lifeless like that was what made him shiver in fight as he watched his father stare at something in his hand before staring back at Azrael. "show yourself...your concealment is poor..." His father's voice rang cold and sent shivers down his spine as immediately Caius jumped at the fact that he was caught. This was definitely not a good start and a perfect time to abandon the project, but he couldn't do that...he need to prove his bravery and he needed to make his father proud. With a gulp Caius walked in with shaky legs and stood there silently. ".....why are you here boy?..." The mask had hid his face, but the sheer voice alone was enough to paralyze Caius in fear. He stood there shaking as he stared at his father. "Speak....you waste my time..." The words hit him as if a sword has sliced his chest in one clean swipe. He never wanted to waste his fathers time at all, he didn't want to be a burden. "I-I...." Caius began to stutter before looking down at the ground. "I want to spend time with you daddy..." Caius said looking down. There was no reply...nothing...Regulus Astar, with cold eyes stared at his son. Caius slowly rose his head to look at his father and past the eye-holes of his mask, Caius saw a fearful cold gaze, one that held no love. His body shook harder as his body began to heat up, the emotions were strong and the horns on his head were hurting a great deal. He couldn't cry...no not now...but soon enough Regulus walked past the boy with the woman carrying Azrael and left the room. He was all alone..nobody left to speak to him...only silence. He couldn't do it here...mama Lu would probably see him. He needed to get away...he walked off through the scary halls and returned back into his room. Without a word he sat on his bed and brought his knees to his chest and buried his head into them. The tears would now stop and he was just a snivelling mess. He had to stop, he did want mama Lu to see him. He wanted to prove himself to his mama so that he could make her proud, but he just couldn't stop snivelling.
William closed his eyes calmly and let out a sigh still mulling over his choices. Sure he said that he would trust her words, but that was a difficult thing to do and the regret was beginning to already show. Regardless of the fact he said he would join them and he fully would keep to his word until he realized how insane these people truly were. Another sigh as he opened his eyes and he stared over at the newcomer that had join the little group. He didn't know why, but that man's words brought him on edge. Such a simple thing he said, but for somebody staying really cautious this was something the affected him. Had it not been for him hearing Joslyn's stomach growl he would have instantly thought of them as some pedophiles when she invited him for food. If one was to take out the stuttering then it would have probably been like a man inviting a kid over to get in a van while offering some candy. Rubbing his temples he let out a sigh before lowering his hands and stared back at Joslyn. "Very well, I accept your invitation" Will said before closing his eyes as he crossed his arms "I must admit I am curious about your little journey...even if its a tall tale or not" Will said. For now as much as he hated it, he would hold on the guise as the little kid, so that way he would be as annoyed as he thought he would be.
Arms crossed he stood in the middle of the training room calmly awaiting his partner in crime. After a good while the door had finally opened up and entering it was the silver haired man. "Well it took you fucking long enough" Alistair said with a grin as he unfolded his hands and watched as Regulus walked in. "My apologies...the transplant took longer than I anticipated...." Regulus said before glancing up at Alistair "well then...shall we begin?" Regulus said crossing his own arms as he faced off against Alistair. "Confident bastard aren'tcha" Alistair said as he held his hands forward and shot a pair of blades towards Regulus. The blades bounced off the invisible wall that was protecting Regulus, but this was the result he had been expecting. The blades merely acted as a mere distraction as Alistair rushed forward with the blade imbued from his skin made themselves known. After training with Regulus both of them had learned a great deal about their fighting styles. Even with that mask on, he knew that the professor's face never changed. The invisible wall he used was sure to not withstand Alistair's corrosion as well as the force behind the manoeuvre as well. The shards dispersed from their wall like formation and shattered into smaller pieces each coating both of Regulus's hands in a tough transparent glove. With the dual blades being a feint, Regulus was prepared for an other attack that would come after such a weak move. The attack he had expected from Alistair reached before him and immediately he rose the back of his hand and used it to block the blade. Blade clashes against him were dangerous, the corrosion would soon take effect and the weapon before him would die. Regulus was sure to know this and would try to be cautious of this. Alistair found his blade being pushed aside, but immediately Alistair countered with the other blade in his next arm. The two began to clash with great skill, both finding their attacks to be deflected and were able to brush off the light blows that managed to get in. His pace was great, but Regulus knew that eventually the scales would tip in Alistair's favour. Alistair had more experience and had even managed to speak to Azrael for some even more training. Though he had a firm grasp on his powers he had yet to even acknowledge Sariel. It was time for things to change, he decided it was time to end it and with that he simply gave a nod. Alistair noticed the sudden nod and though he raised an eyebrow at it his smirk grew as Regulus's arms were knocked back. Now open, Alistair took his chance to slice at the man, but instantly his body froze as a piercing sound echoed throughout the room. Alistair's eyes widened as blood trickled down his mouth, he refused to open his mouth, but the flood of blood was too much and he coughed out blood. His eyes looked down weakly as he saw what appeared to be a metallic arm coming through his chest and holding something...was it his heart?...no...it wasn't his..."Keh...you..you..damn bastard" Alistair said weakly as he stared up at Regulus with a weak grin. As the seconds passed his vision blurred. "Impressive...so this is what a dark angel's heart looks like...or half of it I suppose" Regulus said walking up to Alistair as he picked up the heart that the hand held and held it up to examine it "I grew so fascinated upon hearing such news about how a dark angel's heart resides in you...I guess I grew far too impatient" Regulus said before looking over at Alistair "Well then...why don't you fall into your slumber?" Regulus said with a smile as the claw of his newest doll reeled back was released from the chest of Alistair. The blood spilled and Alistair's body fell to the ground.
I'd just loooooooooooove a new blade to slice and dice the haters with~ or err...umm...hum....hard not to think of something murderous....maybe a new laptop or something?....so I can whack somebody with it and be all like "The internet is too dangerous!"
The girl was absolutely terrified, at least that's what it looked like to William as he listened to her speak with such a great stutter. Regardless of how difficult it was to make out what she was saying, William listened to her words without complaint and crossed his arms once more. This was really difficult for the girl and strangely her words begun to make much more sense than before. She lacked the necessary social skill most people had and she was too reliant on her friend. With that friend gone and having it done right before her, William could only imagine the turmoil the girl before him must have been feeling at moment. It was a conflicting feeling for William in which he felt that the girl had made no lies, that what she said was the truth, but the sheer ridiculousness of the situation made it just too difficult to understand. He didn't know what it was that made up his mind, but William closed his eyes. "What is courage...to blindly rush into a fray?...NO...that is not courage...that is stupidity....just what is courage? courage is being able to utilize your fears, use it as power!" William said closing his eyes calmly. "Very well...I shall put my trust into you and accept your words...and If you so desire I can teach you the method of true courage" William said opening his eyes with a small smile. Maybe it was the determination that the nervous girl had shown that changed his mind, but in the end he chose believe in her crazy story and travel with them
His focus was solely on the piece of paper before him and he paid little heed to the surroundings around him. Maybe if he was paying attention he would have been able to at least have noticed the familiar faces nearby, but alas in the end this was not the case. The sudden nervous and familiar voice immediately made the boy jump as he turned and faced her in shock. He took a step backwards about to get the hell out of there and was about to yell at the girl, but he held back as he listened to her speak on. As he heard her stuttering voice continue on and talk, William began to slowly calm down. He still saw her as some crazy woman, but the fact that she apologies was something so he wouldn't hold anything against her. Rubbing his temples, William shook his head and let out an exasperated sigh "No, no...its fine..." William said opening his red eyes once more as he stared up at the girl with his arms crossed. "If its not rude, may I ask why you are so nervous? I mean I've seen many nervous people...but nothing like you" William said has his eyes widened before closing his eyes and rubbed his temples once more "Er...no offence or anything" William said as he opened his eyes and rose his hand. "but still...You must learn the true meaning of courage...only then will you be able to go forth and grasp it!" William said enthusiastically as he clenched his fist.

A bowl of cereal was poured out and William began to eat the breakfast with a groggy groan. Yesterday's job hunt was not the greatest and sooner or later he would be booted out of this room if he wasn't able to pay for it. His cute charm could only take him so far and he really loathed relying on it. With a sigh he packed up the things he needed into his backpack and placed it on before walking out with a sigh. His first objective was to find someplace close to him. He did not want to pay for transportation and walking far distances was just a sheer pain in the ass for him. He wanted something that lacked physical labour like maybe a desk job or some sorts, but finding an office that would take him seriously was just insanely difficult for him. With that he had to make do with what he could find. Luckily the hotel he lived next to was hiring and if anything it was the best spot location-wise for him. He could deal with some of the labour that would be asked of him so William made it his goal to get this job. Passed the automated door, William walked into the lobby and glanced down at the paper he held in his hand "Well now lets see if I can get this job..." William said to himself as he walked on.
Footsteps echoed through the now silent training room as Regulus walked in and walked up to the man on the ground fast asleep. "Do get up Alistair, the floor is no place to sleep. Surely you have a room to sleep in...or had it become inadequate for you?" Regulus said lightly kicking Alistair in the side of his torso. "keh you bastard, when the hell did you gain a sense of humour? I damn well know you saw the result of my room. Damn immature bitch, I mean there really wasn't anything of value for me, but damn...there goes my clothes" Alistair said silently rising up to his feet. "Imma steal some of your clothes, you do have quite the interesting fashion sense after all...whether its intentional or not" Alistair said dusting himself off. "By the way...I'm gonna be scheduling that transplant for an earlier date" Alistair said crossing his arms. "The arrangements have already been completed so whenever you are set we shall begin, though I will admit I am curious about the sudden change of thought, I thought you chose to wait further? I assume that this was the result of what happened yesterday?" Regulus said placing his hand on the chin of his mask as he thought about what occurred. "Heh I'll tell ya all about it later on, I already got a lecture about caution from Azrael...damn ******* chose against training as a punishment so I'm itchin for a fight, I assume that was what brought you here after all so come on!" Alistair said with a grin as the blades began to form from his body. Alistair had jet forward and swung at him but Regulus had reacted in time and rose his hand, intercepting the blade. His feet staggered back a bit, but he held strong and held the shield against the blade. "I see....you've improved" Regulus said as the shield he held up shattered and Alistair staggered back from the force. The invisible shards coiled around the hand of Regulus and immediately with his hand flat, he thrust the hand straight towards Alistair. Alistair moved to the side, but unfortunately for him he was too slow and the fingers found themselves piercing his shoulder. The very moment the fingers were plunged into his shoulder blade burst out of Alistair's body and pierced the arm of Regulus. Without hesitating, Alistair thrust his hand forward and grasped Regulus by the neck and began to squeeze. It was odd, it was small and slow, but Alistair could feel it, he could feel the energy returning to his body. No...return would be the wrong word. Regulus could feel his energy slowly depleting as Alistair held his throat. This was not the death corrosion power of Alistair, otherwise his physical body would have been affected. He was in a bad situation and he needed to act quick. He rose his leg and kicked off of Alistair's grasp, the blades in his arm tore through the flesh of his arm as he managed to pull the distance between the two. The sudden blow to his chest made Alistair stagger back, but he chuckled as he glanced down at his hand "well now thats interesting indeed" Alistair said before rushing forward. Their battle continued on for a while, but in the end they chose to continue later on. With their wounds healed, Alistair found himself dressing quite the interesting fur jacket and gloves that belonged to Regulus. With Regulus back into the operating room, Alistair was off to do as he pleased.
A sigh escaped from the lips of William as he slowed down as he ran and reached a calm walk soon after. He glanced over his shoulder and let out another sigh as he continued walking forward "What utter garbage" William muttered closing his eyes "What kind of explanation was that? satan? damn it...they made me run off and use that technique that I despise so greatly" William grumbled quietly to himself as he head home towards his place. Up the apartment he opened up the door and walked in, tossing the backpack he held with him on a chair nearby. The room he dwelled in was hard to get especially with his income and age appearance. With such a horrid day, William took a shower and head of to bed with a groan. He laid on the bed, staring up at the ceiling of his room, his mind still wandering and sleep being a hard thing to gain. "....why does such a tale still roam in my fucking mind..." William muttered to himself as he raised a hand and stared up at it. "The ways of the world...hmm it has been strange and weird, but for a bunch of kids running around saving the world? nonsense" William grumbled. No matter how hard he tried he couldn't stop thinking about the group, but eventually sleep managed to affect him and the day had finally passed for him. It would be a mere unimportant event he wouldn't have to deal with.
