Tori looked at Nuri as they walked, "More than that? Thats kinda..." After a few minutes he thought about that and smiled. It cycled in his head, it got to the point to where he blushed. He shook it off and then looked at Nuri, who was giving him a dirty look. "Uh... Sorry..." He said nervously, "I was just uh..." He couldn't get out of this one. He accepted his fate and held his eyes shut, "Just don't hit me hard ok?" And with that he laughed a bit.
---
Placid held her close, she was hot, very hot. He tried talking to her but got no response, "Hey! Get over here! We have to get her to a hospital!" He yelled to Kibiko and she rushed over picking her up with Placid on the other side. "Its just down the street! C'mon!" She said rushing her there, Mio rushed ahead inside and called a nurse, they retrieved Mihari, taking her directly into the ER, leaving Placid and the other girls in the Lobby.
Placid was confused. "Well well... Look whos back!" A voice rang. Placid looked at his neck to see the charm was gone. "Dammit!" He said cringing badly, "No! Stay back!" He said to the girls. 'Did you think that trinket would stay with you forever?' Nocturne said laughing like a maniac. He pounded Placid's mind and laughed, 'Boy, I can't wait to here her screams... You dug your own grave as well as theirs! Placing me inside was a move you shouldn't have made! Now I will show you why...' he took over Placid's body once again. Turning his head to Mio and Kibiko, "Why hello... It's been a long time..." He said giving off a devilish smile, Placids hair turned darker than it usually was, before long it turned pure jet black.
"Now... Where is the mother of my Child?"

Mihari was laying in the hospital room. They had her hooked up to an IV, plus breathing tubes to help her breathe. She was running a nearly fatal fever, her face flushed. She was barely conscious but she could see things going on in the room. She could also feel the pain. It fluctuated, but it was there. Like there was an energy that was being emitted from the children. And it conflicted with her own. Mihari closed her eyes, the pain causing her to tear up. She called out to Nuriko...
The doctor was looking over some paperwork while looking at her vitals. He frowned, then walked out of the room. He had never noticed the change in the boy, but he looked at the two girls who were standing outside the room. The Doctor frowned, looking at the group.
"I'm going to say this as bluntly as possible. Normally I would only tell the parents something like that, but seeing as how he's the father and she's an orphan. The children are killing her. Something about this pregnancy, we don't know what, is killing her... literally ripping her apart, mentally and physically. It will be a miracle if she survives at all. I'll give you all some time to see her and decide what your plans are." then walked away, without giving the group a second thought.
Nuriko was walking around with Tori when she got this strange feeling. The strange feeling was starting to show messages. A hospital. Kibiko, Mio, and Placid were standing outside the room, but Placid was.. different. She snapped out of it. "We need to get to the hospital now. Mihari is in trouble." she said, running toward the hospital dragging Tori behind him, hoping she would get there in time.

Tori dashed in front to reach the door in the ER. Only to see a kid with black hair looking at the two girls, he turned and grabbed Tori by the throat. and smiled. "Now... Where were we? I say, Liwa your throat feels very... Thin..." he grinned his evil grin and tossed him into a wall nearby and smiled. "Wow, how great it feels to have control once more! That dead piece of meat is screaming his lungs off right now... So typical." he said pointing to his brain. He looked around and grinned at the group looking at him.
"I sense alot of tension! Here... lets go somewhere more... cozy!" and with the snap of his fingers they ended up in a building. It was dirty and dusted, outside the window were cragged remains of buildings and homes. "We are... in old Niharuka?!" Mio said bumping into Kibiko, who was sweating and trying to figure out what to do. Nocturne looked at Tori and clapped. "Now now, there is a reason I brought you here my friends... You see, this was one of my many acomplishments... On a higher note, you will join their souls in my stomach..." he glared at Tori, waiting for him to strike first. "Come now boy, don't you want to save your friends? You are their only chance of survival down here..." after that statement the ground shook. With it a hole opened up in the ground below them. After a few seconds passed ghostly humanoid appartitions chased through the halls of this building. One looked at Mio and Kibiko and chased after them. They took off as fast as they could.
"Oh how I love this! Watching you all run like rats in a maze! It soothes my sacred soul..."

The souls chased Mio and Kibiko around for a few seconds before a scythe went slicing through them, absorbing the souls into the blade. Nuriko stood up, looking at her scythe then turned, glaring at Nocturne. She grinned. "You picked a bad time to start a fight." she smirked coldly at him. This was also the same place where I sealed you off in the first place. How does that make you feel..." she grinned, almost like she was taunting him for a reason. "I just have one question. What do YOU want with the child." she glared at him. "I know about the dark child. She is corrupted by your very presence... That is what is killing Mihari. The power of the seal in her blood is fighting your presence in her body. And it's tearing her apart." she said, glaring at him. She could feel her energy gaining in power with every second. It wasn't quite the full moon, so she wasn't at full power, but it was close.

Placid laughed at this show of power. "How does it feel? Honestly I counld't ask for much more!" he walked back and forth smiling and pointing out details they missed. "You see I didn't bring you here for your amusement. You see, I of course know what this place REALLY is. This place is holding place of the 1st seal!" he grinned and pointed at Tori. "You boy! You are going to help me unlock it!"
Another person spoke and it made Nocturne smile even wider. "He is right Tori..." the voice said drably, from the dark corner of the room an axe lay upright. Being held by a boy. "I suppose you walked in here looking for a fight you can't win. I can assure you you won't, and this time you won't escape. I won't allow it!"
The boy walked out of the shadows, showing off his black hair and midnight blue eyes. "Mikael!?" Tori shouted, "No! You have to listen to me! You can't do this!" Mikael dashed across the room at a high speed knocking tori out of the building, only two stories. He hit the ground and became dazed. He sat up and his eyes turned green. "con...trol... I need..." he said falling back, going out cold. Mikael looked at Nuri and clapped. "Dear sister I hoped you had your fun, but now it's time to listen to your brother for once. Enough games! Join me! See how wonderful this is!" he said holding out his hand.
Nocturne chuckled behind him and then it turned into laughter. "My how much I love family! It warms my cold black heart to the core! Haha!" he looked at Nuri, ignoring Mikael completely. "That child will bear my abilities... I will ensure she is my reincarnation! I will ensure she will cause ruin to what I create here!" he roared in laughter, causing the building to shake. However, down below, Tori was having a bit of a problem himself...
---
"SONOFA!" Tori shouted again as he realized he was back in the same area he was before. However this was a platform high in the air, below was purple mist and cloudy areas. It all loomed around him so it wouldn't allow you to see the bottom. A voice rang before he hear a loud noise, similar to that of turbines on a plane. "I am Parshath... Deity of Elemental Energy..." the voice said. "You are here to gain control... Yet, you know not what it takes to stop the power of the wind..." A giant bird flew over the tower top, roaring bravely while trying to swoop down and grab Tori. "What the hell is that?!" he said trying to figure out whats going on.
The voice rang again, "Defeat this creature of the sky, and your mind will be at ease..."

Nuriko's anger flared when she saw her brother. "You work..." she was so angry, her energy was radiating stronger than the sun, "for HIM!!!" she screamed, all but losing control over her emotions. In her fury, she blacked out. Her screaming echoed through old niharuka, causing buildings to tremble. She started off giving off pure holy energy, which slowly started changing to an aura more dark and sinister than that or Placids at the time. Her eyes went black as she glared at Mikael. "I will NEVER forgive you!! Traitor!!" the last part, her voice had started changing, echoing a dark and ominous voice as she started changing into Thanatos. Her Scythe had changed into that of a katana, and it was breathing, as if the spirit of Thanatos had been overrun by Nuriko's rage.
"You know not what you have done, but it is too late for you! You will die for your treachery! I feed of the power of the full moon... which gives me strength!!" the voice said, charging at Mikael at nearly the speed of sound, knocking him up into the air with the hilt of the sword before charging up a fireball in both hands and firing them at Mikael, hitting him square in the back, sending him flying into the wall.

Mikael flew up into the air only to get blasted by a fireball. He then stabalized in the air and landed in front of her a few feet away. " Now now," he said smiling "I know you can do better than that dear sister..." He charged at her and as soon as he reached her he vanished in a puff of black smoke. Leaving Nocturne there alone for a few seconds before he reappeared to her right side, slicing her in the head with the side of his Axe. His Axe reformed into a scythe, and he laughed. "Your little transformation didn't amount to much did it dear sister?" he said mocking her. "You are an old model! to be replaced by the best and the newest!" he said it giving off an evil grin. But, as he was allowing Nuriko to stand again, the area started to quake. Nocturne looked in Mikael's direction and shook his head. "This area is quaking because of the energy we are exuding... Unless you wish to cause this place to unearth I advise you to leave!" he said smiling and placing his hand on Mikael's should, "Good-Bye for now you meat sacks!" and with the snap of his fingers, they dissapeared.
Tori on the other hand was dealing with a winged beast the size of a house, he could feel the quakes of the outside world inside his head. this caused an imbalance of the Tower he was on and it started to give way. "Dammit!" he said falling off the tower at an alarming speed. He hit the smoke and woke up, back in his own world breathing hard. "Holy crap...?!" he yelled wondering where he was.
"Where the hell am I?!"

Thanatos appeared unphased by all this. As if Nuriko wasn't in there at all. It started laughing, which eerily enough sounded like a mix between laughter and crying. The quaking got worse, it screamed again, this time clenching its head.
"All... things... must... end..." it mumbled, rampaging and swinging its sword around randomly, causing the building they were in to start collapsing. Then it screamed again, an ear splitting scream as it clenched its grip on its head.

Tori looked up at the building then noticed the spire that lead outside was nearby. The girls ran out and toward the spire. "C'mon! We have to leave!" Kibiko said running past grabbing his arm, Tori looked at her seeing Nuriko wasn't there, "Where is Nuri?!" he yelled as the screaming began. He looked up to barely see something up there, unsure what it was he ran up the nearby stairs to see this thing raging throughout the building, swinging a sword around. He felt that thing was familiar, "What is that...?" he said trying too think. He remembered it but then ran to it and held on to it, "I know you! Calm down! C'mon! I need you to calm down! NURIKO!" he shouted trying to gain some control over this being.
Mio and Kibiko ran as fast as they could until the reached the top and out the door to the Inner sanctum of the shrine, from there they ran outside and fell to the ground. Hoping that things didn't get any worse. But, suddenly, the quakes calmed down. Even to where they stopped all together. Kibiko picked herself up then helped Mio up. She looked back at the shrine and huffed a sigh. "I hope those two are ok..." she said taking a step back. Mio watched the door closely, hoping for a sign of life from the door. But, minutes passed and countless heartbeats skipped. But, nothing came out of that door. Mio and Kibiko teared up and Mio fell to her knees. "Tori? Nuriko??" Kibiko said walking toward the door and falling to her hands and knees. She cried both of their names out and sobbed, trying not to think about what happened. But, as she silenced her sobs, the door creaked open, out came Nuriko. Who then fell to the ground. Kibiko rand to her and held her up trying to get her to wake up. She was dirty, covered in soot, and other dirt residue. Mio looked up and didn't see another person, she looked down and sobbed herself. "Tori... No..." she cried.
But, as she said it the sound of turbines rang. A being flew over head and slammed into the ground nearby, it was white, with Green highlighted areas. It had skinny legs and a small framed body, resembling that of a bird. Its arms were skinny but formed into sizable Portable Turbines. It's head was shaped like an eagles beak, showing its power. It had wings that were short but glowed Green and silver. But, they split into six seperate pieces, then sheathed into its back. Its visor showed glowing green eyes which looked odd. It sat there and stared not saying a word. Minutes passed and it raised its arms saying a familiar phrase.
"I am Parshath, Deity of Elemental Energy..."

Nuriko laid there unconscious. Her body was covered in dirt and dust, and her breathing was uneven. But in her unconscious state, she mumbled one word.
"Tori..."
Mihari woke up in the hospital. She felt like she was on fire and her body was in excrutiating pain. She started crying, looking around the room. Nobody was there. She could tell the nurses had come by occasionally to check her IV's and see if her fever had broken. She closed her eyes, thinking about the children. She wondered if it was them that was causing the problems. She had just talked to Placid about the possibility of the kids being affected by Nocturne. A tear rolled down her cheek and she sighed.

He could see everything he did while Nocturne walked around in his body. It sickend him extremely bad, but what made it worse is where he was going. The Hospital loomed over Nocturne as he made his way inside, once inside Mihari's room, he placed his hand on her stomach. "Ah, she doesn't like me... How adorable..." He said pulling away, Placid screamed out to her but nothing was heard. Nocturne sat in a nearby seat and locked the doors without moving.
"Odd, she isn't even born yet and she hates me... How they grow up so fast..." He said flicking his black hair around. He stared at Mihari and saw what was a tear from what it looked like a few moments ago. He grinned, "Missing the poor boy?" He walked over to her and loojed her in the eyes, "Nobody can here him screaming... Except me... And oh do I love the screams... He keeps calling your name... Odd how I just here a menu being repeated to me." He said it and chuckled. He waved his hand over, in effect he dropped her fever a bit. "That should help a bit, wouldn't want anything to the little ones... Hehe..." He unlocked the doors and walked out leaving her there in the dust.
Mio and Kibiko stood in front of the machine and it starred back not moving. It ctied out then fell to its knees. It ended up forming a perfect push-up position then hit the ground. It cried out before glowing white and it formed back into Tori who stood up dazed.
"Ugh, that wasnt fun..." He said standing up. He noticed Nuri and rand to her side, "Nuri! Answer me! Come on!" He said wiping the dirt from her face. Mio stood there and sobbed same as Kibiko. He sat there holding her close, he shed a tear.
"Nuriko... Please..."

Mihari saw him walk into the room. At first she didn't realize who it was until she saw the eyes. The hair and the way he talked made her realize Placid had been taken over again. She cried. She didn't cry for her, she felt like she wasn't going to survive this anyways. She cried for Placid. She wondered if she would ever get to see her Placid again. Kiss his lips. Hold his hand. Nocturne was talking to her. She could hear him, even though she wished she hadn't. He waved his hand, lowering her temperature. It didn't help with the pain any, but at least she didn't feel like she was cooking from the inside out. She supposed that's what he was going for. He was talking about the girl. So she was the one who had been corrupted by him. It explained why her body hurt so bad. She was a living seal to hold him in Paradox. With a piece of him inside her body, her blood was fighting it. But the child didn't like him, which made her a little happier.
With the fever reduced, she could move without feeling like she was going to pass out. She sat up, looking around the room. she carefully climbed out IV's out of her arm, blood dripping out of the wounds where they were. Then she stumbled out of the room, trying to follow Nocturne, limping down the hallway, hoping he didn't disappear after he left the room.
Nuriko coughed. It took her a minute to realize she was laying in the ground and being held by someone. She recognized the voice.
"Tori..." she slowly opened her eyes, seeing Tori holding her and Mio and Kibiko hovering over her. Then she remembered everything that happened. She attempted to jump up quickly, but got dizzy on the way up and ended up hurting herself and laying back down. "Ow that hurt." she shook her head, trying to shake it off. "Damn it. We gotta find Mihari. He'll be going after her at some point."

Nocturne knew she was trying to follow him, but, his pace didn't allow it to happen. His own child didn't like the dark energy he had given her. 'Oh well...' He thought grinning, 'Little girls hate their fathers at some point anyways!' He could hear doctors behind him trying to tell Mihari to get back to her room and they had a hold on her. Talking of being bedridden was a priority to keep the children safe. All he could here was talk of disapproval and other annoyances from medical experts. He found it funny that she wanted to follow him though, what purpose was she doing it for anyways? In her state it would do may more harm than any good. He chuckled at the thought before turning into the main hall, Ignoring any and every person he walked past.
He made his way outside and walked until he reached the Port. It was filled with a long stretch of Warehouses that stayed empty due to nobody leasing them. He walked inside and smiled. He looked behind him to see Mikael breathing heavily. "Hmph, it appears I was wrong about you..." he said walking around Mikael. the boy stood still as the demon walked circles around him. "You talk such a big game and for what? To get trounced by your sister?" he chuckled before kneeing him to the ground. "Boy, you have no idea how entertaining that was for me to watch. But, it seems that I shouldn't kill you, Grim..." he removed his knee from Mikaels kneck and walked forward about a yard and stopped. "Good help is hard to find, unfortunately I can't find anyone other than you. However, if you screw this up..." he shook a finger at him and chuckled, "You will watch me kill her... I will force you to watch me suck the life out of her... Then I will do the same to you..." he vanished in a puff of smoke, leaving Mikael there alone.
He looked at his hands and huffed falling to the floor in a sitting position. "These moon phases... They suck..." he said rubbing his chin, "She did a number... It sucks to know that this is when I am vulnerable the most..." He looked around to see a staff workroom upstairs. Inside was an abandoned bed and a light. "Well, home sweet home for now..." he said sitting on the bed, "Not much I can do now but wait it out. He cringed at the burn he had on his chest then laid down looking at the dirty ceiling. "I will ensure you Nuriko... I will kill you if necessary... Don't push fate..."
----
Tori looked Nuri in the eyes and held her close. Tears ran down his face while he tried not to hurt her. "I can't lose you... You are my everything..." he sobbed a bit, even though he knew she was alive it didn't matter. The two girls held him too out of the love for both him and Nuriko. They stayed silent as Tori held his love. "I can't lose you... I will ensure your safety... I have to... Return the favor..." he said kissing her, she had protected him all these years from a doom he knew nothing of, but now, it was his turn. To become the Knight in Shining armor that she needed most! "This is war... I will protect you any way I can!" he looked up in the air and screamed as loud as he could with it he started to glow until the new White and Green machine took form, he roared again screaming something he never thought he would ever say.
"I am Parshath! Deity of Elemental Energy!"

She sighed, allowing the nurses to guide her back into her seat. They were right, as much as she hated to admit it. She didn't know what she was gonna do, either way. If they hadn't stopped her, nocturne would probably have killed her. She sat there, brooding as they put the IV's back into her arm, thinking about what she was gonna do as she ignored the sounds of the nurses and doctors giving her a hard time about trying to get out of the hospital. When they left, she sighed. She felt trapped. She cried to herself a little.
"Placid, you have to be strong. Not just for me, but for the children as well..." she leaned back and fell asleep.
Nuriko smiled, resting her head on his chest as he held her. She could feel the two girls nearby too. She still found it difficult to believe that her brother was working for Nocturne, but there wasn't anything she could do. If he was doing it willingly or not. But she could not let anyone interfere. And how did nocturne take over Placid's body again? Wasn't he helping them by sealing away Nocturne? Was he the one who took the necklace from Placid in the first place? So many unanswered questions, but not enough time to find answers.
She was quite shocked when Tori started transforming of his own will, though. His insistance on protecting her had made him quite strong, and she watched as he became Parshath, yet again. She gazed up at him and smiled.

Tori looked at the girls whom had no fear of this form. They sat with tears in their eyes and smiled. The turbines sang and before long the area around them began to gain a circular breeze. It was strong enough to cause a visible funnel, but not strong enough to push anyone around. He gasped at the power this form had. He had slightly messed with his aqua form but not enough to realize the kind of power he had. "I can feel this energy flowing through me like it was a pure soul..." he said breaking the air current. He threw his arms back and started to glow white, then in a fraction of a second the form changed into Aqua form. He stood and screeched, "I love this feeling!" he walked over to Nuri and kneeled next to her. He was bowing formally, showing her a Knights foremost respect. He waited for her to accept him as a protector, he awaited for her acceptance before saying.
"I want nothing more than to be a Knight... A Knight of Horimore..."
------
Mikael shuddered before walking out the shack door and seeing the 6 Herald in the Warehouse. He smirked and threw them a dirty, but funny, look, "You dare come here and look up at me? What do you want? Respect? Jobs?" he laughed before Evain teleported behind him, grabbing him by the throat. "Now now..." Evian said removing his sunglasses, " I don't think you have any right to mock us..." with that, he slammed Mikael into the floor below them and then stepped on him.
Mikael rushed up and spawned his scythe. "Ok! That how it is going to be?!" he swung and missed Evian before Grondon grabbed him, then body slamming him into the ground. "You are so small... Fragile..." he said picking him up by his leg. He held him upside down by his leg like game who has just been killed by a hunter. "Such a puny excuse for a Grim..." he tossed him down before Ariel grabbed him by the throat and held him in front of her. "You attacked my brother you worthless piece of trash! I will ensure you will suffer more than anyone could imagine!" she took her are and it formed into a cobra. It hissed before Ariel gasped, she stood still then dropped Mikael, and he hit the floor. Her eyes turned pure black and she sat there, still as a statue.
"I don't think she will now..." a voice rang from the darkness. The heralds turned to see Nocturne walking out and stopping about a yard from them. Ariel walked towards him and stood by his side and her voice rang, but it wasn't purely her voice. "You will all be under Lord Nocturne's control..." she said kneeling behind him. Nocturne grew in a black aura and smiled, as he did Azazel appeared and bowed to him. "Your excellence... I am happy my plan... Worked for you..." he said grinning wildly.
Evian looked at his traitor of a brother and asked, "What is the meaning of this?! What did you do!?" Azazel looked at his brother and laughed, "I did what I was told! Father wanted us to behave so I did! I was sick and tired of being bossed by you miscreants! I wanted to be the one who called the shots! Now I can! Because Father will allow me to!" he said it with an evil grin before a shadowy line of tentacles grabbed each Herald, excluding Ariel and Azazel. They each stuggled until the eye they saw through turned black as night.
He set each one down and Nocturne laughed as each Herald now bowed to him as it should have been. "You all disobeyed! Now, I will ensure that never happens again!" he said grabbing Mikael by the throat. "You were nice bait!" he said throwing him against a wall. Mikale stood up and shook off the pain, "What?!" he said looking at him with anger. Nocturne looked at him and grinned, "Azazel was a good boy... He told me what they did to me... and what YOU did to me... So, as it were I needed my Children back where they belong. You were the bait to bring them away from that damn temple..." he chuckled and looked at his 'Children', whom where standing at this point awaiting orders. "They are my greatest creations..." he looked back a Mikael and laughed, throwing a large amount of Dark Energy around him.
"Now... These games will begin..."
