The Search for Xanar C-C-Cherry bomb!
The first thing he heard was her laughter, Her shrill mocking cackle, He recognised his Sister's laugh anywhere....But there was something off about it this time, it sounded a little more manic than usual, it sounded frantic, crazed and a bit sadistic, almost like she'd lost her mind."I have a bad feeling about this...." Cas muttered as J.J edged closer, Coco hissed in his ear, The felines hair stood on all ends, Cas felt a murderous aura emitting from his new pet, "This is definitely a bad sign!" Cas yelled.He smelt blood, Piss and shit as they stalked down the streets, The smell got thicker and heavier as they leapt over a half destroyed Cadilac, He swore he heard a whimper as they passed by it, but when he inspected it, he found nothing.They found blood trails on the street and followed them until they came across a comical yet horrifying piece of artwork.It was a sculpture of some kind, One of a dear or centaur or something, it was wrong though, all WRONG!Too many heads, too

The greasy haired man took a long draw from his Cigarette, he stared at his partner in mild disappointment as he blew puff at the shivering hound."Grrr...." the hound, Fargo growled half his face was burnt off, His back legs a dishevelled, twisted mess, His two left arms gone and his ribs exposed..... yet he still lived.The monstrous wonder shifted awkwardly as it attempted to rise in front of Banner."You're pretty stupid.... Tough, durable and relentless but stupid, I told you only attack the hospitals, didn't I? And you were doing so good too! If you hadn't gone after the others, We'd have hit three more of the Saint's territory before first light...." he threw his Cigarette to the floor and crushed it under his foot.The mutt had risen now, Banner heard a strange squelching noise coming from it, Fargo's ribs were being covered up by new muscles being sown where others had gone, His face was the same, His legs.... everywhere he'd been wounded was being slowly repaired."Still....

"I'm proud of Cece, You're really coming full circle now," her haunter said, Cece slashed at her with a dagger and the visage of her mother simply laughed, "Oh sweetie, that's not gonna cut anymore, not for me, Lightbulb, Knifey or old Sugar lips over there!" Josephine laughed."Who are you calling old!?" Eve snarled, The broken succubus hovered over the pair, Cece whirled around and slashed at her only for her dagger to pass weakly through the Succubus, she gave a lively smile, it was as twisted as the form she possessed now, it pained Cece seeing her, given her death caused this curse to begin with."Please... just leave me alone, okay? It's not like any of you can hurt me either, so allow me to-""We can't touch you, no.... but we can inform the others where you are, can we not?" The Elf Fil snarled, he looked over at his Compatriots, The silent fallen, the bewitching succubus.... and her whore of a mother, They all nodded in unison."You know if I die here, I die in real life?"

'Well this is lovely,' Cas thought as he gazed up at his host.He understood why they called him Big Banner, the man was huge, huge by hunan standards at least, Cas had seen bigger, fought bigger, both in his days as a trainee in Pariah's Chariot and out in the field, To him, Banner was more strange than terrifying as for all intense purposes was a rather tall human, his daughter on the other hand....Chel, The 'little girl, She looked rather realistic to Cas, too realistic if that made any sense, She had the face and proportions of a 10 year old girl, according to Bsnner she was a ten year old girl, She had lemon blonde hair tied to a long, Almond shaped grey eyes, Rosy cheeks and a birthmark that resembled a burnscar on her left cheek, she wore a patient's gown, She looked fairly mundane if not a little sickly but her height is what gave Cas pause.She was Big.... bigger than Banner, bigger than a giant, Almost the size Forty metre tall Big.... she sat on the rough earth and had tin

Creeper stood beside his Car at a gas station when it happened. Just re-filling his tank when they pull in behind him. It’s the middle of the day, under this scorching sun in this treacherous, ruined city, he was amazed to find any tank still working, Talk less of possessing some gas, 'Beggers can't be choosers!' he thought, He looked over at the white van by the side and couldn't help but smile, 'That’s hint number two.' He mused, Hint number one was the Gas station itself, Clean, Maintained and fully stacked.... 'Obviously a Trap!' They didn'tmaintain them before starry Saturday, There's no way they'd be maintained even now!

The screams of dying Red masks lingered in the air, their voices a bit far from Cece and others from what she could tell, 'Coco's really earning her position,' Cece thought grimly, This floor was already cleared, No enemy in their immediate vicinity, all clear from what she could tell, She was free to focus on the more pressing issue at hand......Cece gave Julie a sympathetic smile as she regarded the woman, She looked.... tired and hurt, Wanting to run over to check on Drake but also looking over at Cece, Trying ever so hard to trust Her, given how much Cece and her crew had done for the Renaissance already.'I'd almost pity her if she wasn't such a..... no, no I'm projecting now....' Cece shook her head, she was snapped outta her little world by a member of the Renaissance, he was approaching the bleeding Drake."DON'T!! HE'S DANGEROUS!!"

"You may have shuddered through The House of Frankenstein, or even The House of Dracula, but nothing will have prepared you for The House of Devlin!" Drake said heartily, Cece groaned at the proclamation, 'To think I was worried about this shit stain a couple of moments ago,' she sighed."Drake, we really don't haveuch time," Julie pleaded."Hey...... did a parasite live inside your chest for a couple of weeks, without your supposed family suspecting shit?" He frowned."No..... I'm sorry...." Julie sighed."If you're sorry, then you'll allow me to tell my story in peace!"

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

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

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....

"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'
