The tension was so thick Cece felt she could cut it with her dagger, She studied the pair with mild amusement, The Latino Male Cop in his early 30s, he had short cropped hair, dark brown eyes, a faint scar over his forehead and a tiny wisp of a beard and a butt chin.The blonde man was around her age, He had shaggy long hair, Crooked teeth, Electric blue eyes and Tan skin, He wore a faded white shirt, a dusty old jean jacket, Black leather shoes and grey pants, he adjusted his crooked glasses in the moonlight and adjusted his grip on his knife nervously."Gentlemen relax...." Cece spoke, "I'm not here to make any trouble, infact depending on how talk with your boss goes, we might even be allies... friends!""Where is everyone?" The blonde man, Drake snarled. Cece scratched the back of J.J's ear and smiled deeply, The action made Charles the cop flinch slightly, "I'm Taking you to them!""Which is were?" Charles narrowed his eyes."A safe place....""This was a safe place!" Drake
The Search for Xanar String
Lucy looked up at Cas with a worried look, "There's still time to-" She was saying."No.... leave him as he is...." He muttered."What the hell is going on here!?" A Latino officer cried, Cas stared at the man perplexed, "If you hurt one of my people!" The officer pointed his gun at Cas.He noticed his sister reaching for her dagger and he shook his head, 'I don't like the look that bleach blonde is giving her...' he thought.Cece cursed and let her hand drop to her side.Cas sighed and looked over at the crowd of people that had gathered, At the forefront was a Korean lady, she was about 5'5, her black hair was a pixie cut with faint freckles on her face, thin pink lips and , Her wide eyes were decorated by a pair of black rimmed glasses, A thick brown fur coat, a grey stone wash shirt, tight black jeans and black boots to match, "Julie... you gonna just Stand there?" He said.She sighed, 'Skin tone and height aside.... she looks just like Jamie.... Small Multiverse I guess,' Cas no

"20 bucks that she'll fold within a day!" Cece proclaimed."100 She'll fold before sunrise!" Lucy joined in."......Dollars are practically useless to us.... we literally have unlimited funds thanks to our job...." Cas shook his head.".....Okay so let's bet on something more.... intimate!" Cece suggested."Intimate....? intimate how?" Lucy furrowed her brow.Cece put her hand on her chin and tilted her head, "As intimate as a secret!""Are you 5?" Cas made a disgusted face, " What.... wait.... are you high?" He drew closer to get a whiff of her breath, Cece pushed his face away in mild annoyance."Not funny...." She hissed, "Seriously, don't pull that kind of thing even as a joke,""I'm not.... I'm deadly serious," He narrowed his eyes, "You've been getting more manic as of late, Everything good? Seriously, You're making me worry,""It's not your..... no..." She shok her head and took deep breaths to calm herself, 'Look at it from his point of view Cece.... You just woke up from a t

"Let's Chart a course to Dalusere, I hear things are quite lovely there~We'll make a home in this Paradise, Finally free from all their filthy lies~" The figure hummed, They waved their torch around in the Darkness in search for a new path, They went glum once they realized they could only move forward."Rats.... Well I have no choice but to continue onward I guess... how did the rest of the song go again?" They tilted their head quizzically, "Well not that it matters all that much eh... Sly?" They sighed as they stared at their Companion, Rather what was left of him, A severed head of a balding man with Dark Brown skin, Pale Yellow eyes and a Brilliantly waxed mustache.His cheeks were already rotten and falling off, The light in his eyes long gone, The only thing he offered to his companion was dead weight and the smell of rot..... yet they couldn't just leave him, Couldn't bring themselves to.... "You were the best First mate anyone could ask for...." The figure said with a somb
The Search for Xanar Breaking
Veil Splitter hovered over the remains of Wayne state university, The prestigious institution for learning now a den for the lowly and broken, Veil Splitter spotted some Humans in ragged clothes dancing over a bonfire they had set at the bottom of the meteor sized hole that lay in it's parking lot.They shared booze and drugs and other vile things as they partied, Some, those who had guns and cross bows, fired them over the heads of their fellow intoxicated ravers, Some died obviously from the headshots, Others stumbled to the ground before the guns were even fired, Too woozy to get their bearings straight.Veil Splitter felt irritated looking down on them, 'No.... she's feeling what I'm feeling,' Cas corrected himself, 'I think she'll be able to develop her own emotions one day, when she's more mature.... but for now I'm all she has to go by...'He sighed, Veil Splitter had been sent to scout the various hotspots for Gangs and Scavengers within the ruins of the city, while Cas for hi
The Search for Xanar Not like her....
'I'm pushing him to hard, Hell I'm pushing myself to hard too!' Cece lamented, 'When was the last time he slept? When was the last time I slept? The coma doesn't count, I felt like shit when I woke up!'She looked over at her brother again, the bags under his eyes were so deep and dark, she'd mistake him for a Tracker if it weren't for his warmth, "Cas... you know you don't have to do this right? Lucy and I... we got this! The deals been done, just breaking bread and sharing war stories is all that's left!"He shook his head, "That's exactly *why* I need to be there, Our group has proven ourselves efficient and capable, Once they learn of carpet bombing of the Jawbreakers, We'll look even more impressive but also dangerous, I'm the leader, for better or worse I'm also the face of Karl's Folk, if I want our future interactions to go smoothly, Julie need to trust me..."Cece sighed, "She already does baby brother, but yeah.... her people, especially Charles doesn't think much of us, so
The Search for Xanar Catch
"Where were when it all started?" Julie asked, "Really.... no sign of you or Cecelia for months and you two just happened to show up tonight of all nights?"Cas sighed and took a swig of whiskey from the flask Julie handed him, "You don't trust us? Or are you just genuinely curious," he stared at Charles, the portly cop narrowed his eyes, 'and we were all getting along not too long ago,' he shook his head in indignation."Honestly.... a bit of both," she bit her lip."It's the Jawbreakers isn't it?" He finally met her eyes, "I wasn't a part of them ever if that's what's on your mind,""But you had relations with Jay didn't you?" Charles spoke.Her face flashed through his mind for a moment, Her long straight black hair, her glossy chocolate skin, Her dark eyes and pouty pink lips, He even remembered how she smelt and tasted, 'Good riddance to bad rubbish,' whatever good thing they had in the past, their talks, the partying, hell even the sex was tainted now thanks to that night."I ow
The Search for Xanar Lurking Larry
It would be cold..... not to mention her gun would be useless down there, given the size of the silhouette, her daggers may do nothing but tickle the damned beast, she would be nothing more than a helpless, near blind pup inside the river......Cece took a deep breath and leapt into the water.Her body went numb for a second, from the cold, She quickly gathered her bearings and look deep into the water, she could spot Lucy.... albeit vaguely, the poor girl was trying her hardest to swim away, 'if she wasn't afraid of drawing water, she'd probably be screaming' Cece thought, she looked over at her aggressor.It was vaguely shaped like a catfish, which wasn't alarming in of itself, they were quite common here after all, no.... it was the size, volume and..... it's physiology.It was silvery blue for one, a colour alien to a typical Catfish, it was roughly the size of a pickup truck, sporting 5 set of stark white pupil-less eyes , twin tails with sharp blades for a fin and 2 rows of jag

Interlude- The price of honour
Barker Griffin hated humans. Not out of a sense of entitlement, like many of his fellow Lycans. Nor out of some misguided religious or social belief their existence violated, which was also fairly popular as sources of anti-human sentiment went on in the Holton's Keep. No, his own hatred came from anger, and that anger came from the very natural fear of what humans ultimately were. All forms of government, all Clans and Packs were based on the monopoly of force; what would then happen to every government in the supernatural world when a race as selfish as humans got enough power to rival them? His ancestors had scoffed at the idea, 'Those hairless apes? Overthrow us!?' They might have laughed, But Barker.... their descendants.... are not laughing now.Of course, not all humans are as unstable as the scum that hunted his people, He had met a few 'good' ones over the years but at the end of the day, When cornered, when the going gets tough, They break, they lash out and they hurt.... t

Cas decided.He ducked to the left, A horror made of pulsating grey tentacles with 13 different wings of thirteen different colours blitz past him, somehow, Cas knew in his heart of hearts, Dylan was Sandbagging them, 'Cuz there's no way we'd be able to survive these things!' He thought as he slashed at one of it's wings.He didn't know for certain, he wasn't sure how the rules of enhanced and the like worked, but a small part of him, a tiny part of him was sure the only reason he's able to react to the onslaught of
Ties that bind
She saw a couple of the fleshy grey ones a few hundred metres to her left..... to Splitter's left that is, a massive pink was approximately 200 metres behind them, barrelling down with murderous intent, it was the size of a radio tower, It's hounded after them with such ferocity that-"Cece?" A mousey voice said, Cecelia jumped."DON'T DO THAT!" Cece snapped at her friend."S-Sorry!" Lucy quickly muttered, "I.... I just wanted to tell you Julie is starting to stir,""Oh.... could you continue to look after her? Sorry, Keeping track with Oculus is a bit more task inducing than I thought!" She said as she rubbed the sid effect the Oculus.Cece was certain the ship was capable of piloting itself, even as it was far away from it's master, her brother Cas, But.... here in the in-between, It's home domain, She could feel faintly, a beastial desire to pulverize their pursuers, worse, she could feel it gradually overtaking her, it took most of her willpower to fight those urges away, 'I need

Star Gazer
She swerved to the left just in time to crush a Hellspawn under her Van, "Cece! Watch it you-" Lucy was saying but Cece simply shook her head."I think it's impossible to be careful under this conditions Kiddo!" She said as she rammed another Hellspawn with the van, The creature clung to the windscreen trying desperately to stab into the vehicle, Cece shook him off with a well timed stop, The creature rolled and came to a stop, It was promptly finished off by Creeper with a gun."But your condition!" Lucy protested."We'll figure something out! I know I'm not right but C'mon! We don't much options here!" She started the engine again and continued on her path to her brother."I hope.... you know what you're doing...." Lucy muttered."That's the thing kiddo.... I totally don't!" Cece cackled as she ran over another Hellspawn, It gave a rather satisfying CRUNCH as it's head was reduced to a bloody pulp.From the corner of her eye, she saw Lucy's face turn pale, "look kiddo-""Get down!"
A Dream that must never come!
He knew something was wrong the moment he heard the music.....It was soft, it was on the Angelic side whilst having a twinge of darker themes, A mix between Soul and Gospel rock, Cas heard it, So did Sally and Banner from the looks of it.Their men seemed confused as well as many of them looked around fir the source of the music but nothing, It had no source nor direction, As though.... "It's all in our head...." Cas muttered."What?" Sally snapped, Glaring at Cas, "What are you on about?""He's saying the song is all in our head, I think that's mighty obvious Missy," Banner spoke.Sally gave him the most blood curdling glare Cas had ever seen in his life.... well not really, He'd seen far scarier things on his journey so far, but there was something shouting the mundane human giving such an unnatural glare that sent chills down his spine."I'm not anyone's missy! The next time you call me that-""What are they doing?" Cas interrupted pointing at the Saints.The small party seemed be
Intetlude- A Soulsinger is born
The ceremony had always been a big event in our town. While the youth turned 18 on different days and received their divine blessing, they first revealed it to others during the Ceremony of Revelation. It had been a custom for many families to actually never call forth the summon before the Ceremony, while others would only call it in private chambers away from curious eyes.And so one week before the big event the town began preparing. Craftsmen erected a stage in the middle of the town square with a pyramid on which the young adult would stand and reveal what the soul formed from the godly power it was bestowed with. It was most common to find people being able to summon tools of their craft if they already had set foot on that path. Be it a sword, a pen filled with unlimited ink or a farming tool, the townsfolk usually tried to teach their children in ways that they would manifest what would help them in the family business. Well, except some of the scholars, they usually tried the
Acolyte.
Cece thought hard about the events of the past hour as she set a course to her brother's location, Lucy, Julie and their new Friend Creeper sat beside her in the White van they had secured during their mission, they split up from Julie's crew, the rest of her people kept their new bases secure, as well as hunted for any more working vehicles in the area.Coco sat on Lucy's lap, The Little ball of fur played with The mousey girl's hand as she tried to give her belly rubs.In the back of the Van in a glassy container sat Creeper's prisoner, Belfast, The creepy little Abomination squirmed with displeasure as he eyed his surroundings menacingly, J.J eyed him back, Snarling at the Spectral Creature.Cece didn't quite know why she was so..... jittery, She stared the Car as best she could through the ruined city, trying her best not to go there.... go to the dark corners of her mind, The ones that showed her images of her brother in a tortured state or even worse.... 'No.... Cas isnt dead,
Hatchback
"BANNER!" Cas yelled, a little louder than he expected.... didn't matter, "We need to talk, NOW!" He added.The gathering went silent now, all eyes on him as he strode towards the bewildered giant, "Is there an issue my boy?" Banner asked, his tone slightly irritated despite the gentle look on his face.Cas muttered one word, "Thatch...." he had never seen such flurry of emotion take over a man, First confusion, then realization, next was fear, then..... hate, 'Right.... the Golden bastard screwed over his ancestors centuries ago,' Cas recalled the brief talk they had about Zebediah Thatch inside Dark Circus.Banner turned towards one of his subordinates, "Tend to the flames.... do not charr them!" He warned, The poor fella's face turned pale but he nodded vigorously as he took over the grill.Banner gestured and the two men made their way to a secluded area, From the corner of his eye, Cas noticed Sally get up and stride towards them, "Wait! What's this about!" She yelled, they didn'
