Tao: you can't have your cake and eat it to ๐
Leo:.....๐
Lola: what's all this talk about Cake?๐
Layla:.... its nice to see you again Tao ๐
Anderson:.... who's Cake ?๐
Tao: nice to see you Layla ๐ and Cake would be Lukas ๐ฟ
Lola: hmm ๐
Anderson:....๐
Layla: .....๐
Leo: I think we need to hear exactly what happened as we all have heard different stories over the years you were gone ๐
Tao:..... Lukas hired someone to assassinate me that night... Monte blocked the shots she was hit 2 times in the stomach I held her as she died in my arms her last wish was for me to protect the kids i was not in my right mind i tortured and killed the assassin afterwards I went here as Zara contacted me saying the Castle was breached by the time I got here I could hear Miguel scream so I went to him it was to late as I got there he was laying on his bedroom floor I'm not even sure who did it to him but he was shot 3 times (he stopped talking as he choked back the tears that threatened to spill out but a few slipped out )๐ข
Zara: My God should I just show them the rest on the cloud ๐
Tao:..... ( he waved his hand as to say go on then turned around and walked to the back corner of the living room he still had some tears he was wiping away)๐ข
Zara pulled up the cloud and started the footage it started playing right when Tao walked into the living room seeing Zara and the 3 kids being held at gunpoint and Lukas on the other side it played through all the way Zara stopped it right after Lukas said "If she survives I'll make her my bride " everyone in the living room was silent for a few minutes
Leo: I'm going to devour that man's Soul if it's the last thing I do and I'll do it in the most painful way possible ๐ฟ
Ozzie who was standing by Takeo at that point Whispered to Takeo saying "I'm going to go find M21 and fill him in" Takeo nodded his head as she headed down the hallway and disappeared Anderson looked towards Tao he was still standing at the back corner of the living room his head was in his hands Anderson walked over and patted him on the shoulder Tao looked up he had tears in his eyes
Anderson: I'm not sure about Vivian but I can tell you this Rosemary did survive she is with .. him..... in the Capitol this is all I know because you know that I haven't been to the Capitol after the day with Alfie ๐
Tao:....... it's ok Anderson I get it I myself am having trouble even being here right now.... the fact that Rosie is alive makes me happier than you can imagine and Zara told me that Vivi went to live with my brother and hasn't been heard from sense ๐
Lola: then there is hope for her as well ๐
Layla:... ๐คจ
Leo: .... if she is with that Bastard she may be alive but there is a higher chance that she is dead isn't that right Tao๐
Tao:..... Leo is right my Brother is not one to trust ........ my parents either they may be biologically my parents and Brother but that's where it stops so for now I will get Rosie somewhere safe if it's the last thing I do ๐
Meanwhile in the kitchen Mom and M21 finished up with the cleaning right as they did Ozzie walked in she watch as Mom gave M21 a muffin he took it then Mom said "what do you say"
M21: Thank you Mom(he smiled at her it was a very sweet smile)๐
Mom: that's better now you finish up I'm going to bring these out to the others ๐
Mom walked to the door she stopped and looked at Ozzie and said "would you like one" ๐ Ozzie took one and said "Thank you "๐
Mom: hmm you must be the sister ๐คจ
Ozzie: ya I'm Ozzie ๐
Mom: well Ozzie I'm Mom and next time try a smile with that Thank you ๐
Ozzie:........๐
Mom walked out and headed to the living room Ozzie walked over to M21 and told him what he missed M21 just nodded
Ozzie: why did you Smile at her ? ๐
M21:.... because I wanted to ๐
Ozzie: you wanted to then why don't you smile at me hm๐
M21: I don't want to ๐
Ozzie: Smile at me ๐
M21: No๐ค
Meanwhile Mom walked in the living room and sat the muffins down on the coffee table and said "help your selves" she then took one and walked over to Tao and handed it to him
Tao: Thank you Mom ๐
Mom:... My Son ..... ( she hugged him) ๐ข
Tao: I missed you as well now tell me hows things been going I bet Andrea is a wonderful young lady now ๐
Mom:.....Anderson didn't tell you? (She looked at Anderson then back to Tao) ๐ฅ
Tao: what .... what didn't you tell me? ๐
Anderson: hmm ....( he turned away from Tao and walked over to get a muffin)๐
Mom:... hmm it's hard for him even now to talk about it Andrea was killed 8 years ago it was during a battle that broke out there was a lot going on we got separated when I found her Lukas had ordered his Dragon to burn the place and she was in the way this was a few days before her 16th birthday ๐ข
Tao:...... we need to stop him at all cost before he hurts anyone else ๐ข
Mom: ....... now Anderson come fill me in on everything I missed๐คจ
Anderson walked over and started filling Mom in as the others started grabbing Muffins and introducing themselves to each other Leo on the other hand was standing there staring at Tao after a few minutes Mom hugged Tao again then walked over to Takeo and said " you come with me we need more muffins I left M21 there I may need a portal to get some baking supplies from my house "๐คจ Takeo just nodded his head and started walking after her they disappeared down the hallway when Leo started walking towards Tao
Leo: you know Tao I have been thinking about this for awhile now and I think it's time you tell me something ( he grabbed Tao by the Shoulders and pinned him to the wall) how in hell did you get that power ๐ฟ
Everyone paused right as Leo pinned Tao and the ones who were setting stood up all eyes were on them
Tao:...... ๐ฅ
Layla: what are you talking about Leo ๐
Lola: I'm curious as well ๐คจ
Zara: Leo if my God does not want to explain he does not have to so please back off ๐
Leo: ..... you're still as loyal as ever aren't you Zara but don't worry Tao wants to explain ...... don't you Tao๐
Tao:.... umm well ๐ฅ
Meanwhile Mom and Takeo walked in to the kitchen to find M21 and Ozzie on the floor M21 was on the ground one of his hands had Ozzie's hair pulling her head back with his other hand on her chin trying to make her smile while Ozzie was setting on top of him she also had M21'S hair pulling it and her other hand was trying to force a smile on him
Ozzie: I will make you Smile ๐ก
M21: if you like Smiling so much why don't you Smile ๐ก
Ozzie: just Smile will you ๐ก
M21: No way I won't ๐ก
Takeo:......๐
Taush:... what are they doing?
๐
Mom: .... THATS ENOUGH ๐
Right as Mom yelled M21 and Ozzie both let go of each other's hair and sat up staring at her
Mom: ..... what is going on here? ๐
Ozzie:.....๐
M21:..... ๐
Mom: come on speak up you two must have a good reason for fighting like that after all you are both adults are you not ? ๐
M21: sorry about that๐ Ozzie just attacked me because I didn't want to smile at her๐
Ozzie:... WHAT your not blaming me for all this ๐ค
Takeo:......๐
Mom:... hmm well I really don't want to know what started this fight so It doesn't matter now you two stand up and apologize to each other ๐คจ
Both M21 and Ozzie stood up but neither one wanted to apologize first so it was silent
Mom: now ๐
Ozzie:...... ๐
M21:......๐
Mom: hmm if you dont I will not let you have anymore Muffins for the whole day ๐
M21:...... Sorry ๐
Mom: that's better Now you too Ozzie ๐คจ
Ozzie:..... hmm fine Sorry ๐ค
Mom: better now no more fighting alright ๐
M21:.......๐
Ozzie:........๐
Mom: got it ๐ก
M21 and Ozzie: yes ma'am ๐๐
Mom: Mom I told you to call me Mom not Ma'am ๐คจ
Takeo:.....๐
Taush: they were fighting almost as bad as Lilly and Anna do at times it must be normal for twins ๐
Takeo:...( I think it's more a sibling thing I have heard of siblings fighting a lot but never seen it before)๐
Mom: hmm now I guess you were to busy fighting that you didn't have time to snitch the second batch of muffins..... here Takeo that was your name right ? take these to the living room we will follow you in a few after they finish cleaning up from the mess they just made ๐
Takeo:.... yes that is my name ๐
Mom: your such a polite young man I bet you have a wonderful young lady waiting for you back home ๐
Takeo:..... ooh no I don't I'm actually single at the moment but thanks for the comment ๐ค
M21:........๐
Ozzie:.......๐
Mom: ooh what a shame your such a polite gentleman and so good looking you shouldn't wait to long to get yourself out there I'm sure there are plenty of women who would die for a chance with you ๐ค
Takeo: well thanks for the compliment but I already have my mind set on a special someone ๐ค
Mom: ooh ok well goodluck with that now go on ๐
Takeo:.... alright ๐
M21:....( special someone ha either he really does have a thing for Ozzie or he just said that to Mom to get her off the topic)๐
Ozzie:...( special someone who does he like hmm well he is very handsome and charming I'm sure he has a lot of girls after him)๐
Takeo and Taush walked away with the muffins as they walked in to the living room they could see Leo pinning Tao to the wall everyone was watching them when Regis finally spoke up
Regis: if your talking about the dark powers he and Takeo asked for it ๐
Tao:........๐
Takeo:......๐ฅ
Leo: what ... why would you? ๐
Regis: it was to become stronger so they could protect the people they cared for ๐
Leo: still ๐
Takeo:....(he walked over and sat the muffins down) this was before we had any memories of our past I didn't have Taush and Tao didn't have his godly powers we were weaker than a lot of the Union people so we ask for it so we could protect the life and family we come to love even though this power try's to consume us everytime we use it we decided that it was worth the risk ๐
Leo: I know all to well what that power is capable of I get your decision but who helped you get it ?๐ฟ
Tao:..... Leo it's done and over we can't change the past ๐ฅ
Leo:..... who ??๐ฟ
Takeo: our boss why do you want to know?๐
Leo:... Boss ?? ๐ฟ
Tao: Frankenstein ๐
Leo: I should have a word with this Frankenstein then๐ฟ
Tao: Leo ๐
Leo: what ?๐
Tao: I won't let you start anything with him ๐คจ
Leo:.....๐
Tao: besides the fact that he saved my life several times he is a trusted friend of mine ๐คจ
Rael:...... you wouldn't stand a chance with him anyways ๐
Leo:.... you don't even know me yet you think this Frankenstein is stronger than me why is that ๐
Tao: hmm you both have similar powers but if I did have to choose I would have to say Boss is probably stronger I haven't actually seen him go all out if I did I might be dead right now but hes that strong ๐ค
Leo: you haven't seen me go all out either remember ๐ฟ
Tao: ooh right hmm that would be a tuff one to call but that reminds me for this upcoming battle Leo you will need to have to ask her I wont let you join if she doesn't give the ok ๐ค
Leo: I'm sure she will be fine with it ๐
Tao: ask ...... I won't have someone like her mad at me ๐คจ
Leo: fine I'll ask but this conversation about your "BOSS" is not over we will finish it later ๐ hmm now where would you be at Ema ๐ค
Regis: wait so this Leo here has dark powers like Frankenstein and has to ask that Ema Girl for permission? ๐คจ
Leo:..... yes๐
Regis: so did you make some sort of contract with her ? ๐คจ
Leo:..... yes๐
Regis:.... hmm so you and Frankenstein are the same then I'm not sure who would be stroger but if I were to pick I would have to say Frankenstein after who his Master is he would have to be ๐
Leo: what ๐ฟ
Tao: Leo calm down ๐ค
Rael: I agree Frankenstein's Master is better than any other ๐
Takeo: you guys do have a point but we don't really know who that Ema girl is so I'm not sure ๐
Lola: I have met Ema once she could take this other master out I'm sure ๐
Tao:....hahahaha ๐
Everyone:.......๐คจ๐คจ๐คจ๐๐๐๐๐ฟ
Leo: what's so funny Tao๐ฟ
Tao:...ohh sorry I just thought of Ema trying to fight Sir Raizel right now ๐
Regis:.......Tao that's not funny ๐
Rael:... that wont happen I will cut down anyone who dares to get close to him with Ill intentions ๐ก
Takeo: calm down Rael nobody is going to hurt Sir Raizel isn't that right Tao ๐
Tao:... calm down you guys I was just thinking it was funny because right now Ema would not fight him she would back down think about it she has already met him remember that day at Frankenstein house when she was there helping take care of Raizel she would never harm him you all seen it in her eyes ๐ค
Takeo:..... your right Tao she did have pure love for him every time she looked at him and she did seem to be on good terms with Frankenstein as well ๐
Regis:... well Seira did say Frankenstein asked this Ema to come back and visit and that they knew each other from long ago so I guess if hes ok with her we should be to ๐
Rael:.......( did Seira like this Ema as a friend ) ๐ฐ
Anderson:.......๐
Lola:......๐
Layla:........๐
Zara:........๐
Leo:......๐ฟ๐ฟ
Tao: anyways why don't you go ask permission ๐
Leo:.....so Ema was at this Frankenstein's house what exactly did she do there ๐ฟ
Tao: ooh you don't need to worry about that it was nothing ๐
Leo:..... I want to know ๐ฟ
Regis: It was really not much she fed Raizel and played with him some while the rest of us slept ๐
Leo: ooh and what about this Frankenstein ๐ฟ
Tao:........๐(he tried to wave his hands to get their attention while shaking his head no )
The past few minutes Mom ,M21 and Ozzie were standing at the back listening to the conversation when Leo asked that ....ย everyone else went silent because they could see Tao but M21 wasn't paying attention
M21: she undressed him and took him to bed ๐
Everyone:.......๐๐ฐ๐๐ฐ๐๐ฐ๐
Leo:....What I think I really do want to meet this guy even more now ๐ฟ๐ฟ
Tao: ... it's not what you think M21 is just bad at wording things ๐
Leo: really how can you word taking off someone's clothes and taking them to bed in a harmless way huh๐ฟ
Tao: she didn't stay with him he was passed out she just put him to bed she was to busy with Sir Rai all night so dont worry ๐ค
Leo:... Sir Rai you mean that Noble that demanded Ramen? ๐
Tao:..... ya that was him ๐
Leo: so Ema was at that house feeding and playing all night with him ? ๐ฟ
Tao: ....well umm it's not like that I mean it wasn't him exactly ๐ฐ
Leo: wasn't him exactly... well was it or was it not ?๐ฟ
Tao: it wasn't him like that but it was him..... can we just talk about this later and get back to the war planning ๐
Willow:..... Tao ๐คจ
Tao: huh what Willow?๐
Willow:..... do you trust Leo ?๐คจ
Tao:...... yes why ?๐
Willow: then why don't you just ask Boss if it's ok to tell him ? ๐คจ
Tao: I will as soon as we finish up with this war and it wont be just Leo I'll ask about all of you ๐ค now I'm sorry but we really need to get to planning this..... Lukas wont just wait around for long now Leo you get permission while Anderson and I start coming up with a plan alright ๐คจ
Leo: this conversation is not over we will talk more about this later ๐ ( Leo opened a portal but it looked dark blackish colored he walked through and it closed)
Everyone turned and looked at M21
M21: what ๐
Tao: M you really need to work on how you word things ๐
Ozzie: I actually agree with him this time ๐
Willow: ya that really sounded bad ๐
M21:......hmm ๐
Tao: now lets get to planning ..... here is what I was thinking ๐ค
Tao started going over his ideas with Anderson pulling up the cloud but this time it came up like a table with a 3D map of the capital Willow walk up to it waving her hand through it then looked at Tao and said "its like a hologram " ๐คจ
Tao: yes this is part of the Cloud I'll explain that later ok ๐ค
Anderson: yes now why don't you back up a bit sweetheart and let the Adults talk for a bit ๐
Willow:.... ๐
Tao: .....๐
Everyone stopped and looked at Anderson and Willow they were having a stare down Willow didn't look happy she actually looked very scary but Anderson didn't back down either he looked very calm with no emotion
Tao: . Its not how we are going to take down the Capital that's worrying me its how to get threw the barrier ๐คจ
M21: what do you mean cant you just hack in and disarm it ?๐
Tao: the Barrier is not something I can hack in to its made of power and that's not just any power its Water ๐
Takeo: so the Barrier is made of water ?๐
Tao: yes ๐
Regis: then just walk through it ๐
Anderson: its not just any other Barrier the ones who walk through without permission will stay wet no matter how much you try to dry off you cant so anyone like this will either be killed on sight or arrested and for your next answer to we are going to fight them anyways the water will slowly drain your power and not to mention that Tao cant go through it so if you guys want to walk through and fight this war by yourselves without the God on your side while being drained of your powers then by all means walk through ๐
Mom: Anderson stop being a A** .... Tao my Son I will get you inside along with every one else so you just concentrate on what you guy will be doing once inside alright ๐
Anderson: .....๐
Tao: . thank you Mom ๐ค
Mom: not a problem now Willow my dear that is your name ?๐
Willow: .. yes ?๐
Mom: come lets talk for a bit ๐
Willow: .. umm alright ๐
Anderson: ....๐
Mom and Willow walk off to one side of the living room as Tao started coming up with teams and what they will be doing he was running some of this by the others
Mom: Willow my dear I know Anderson sounded a bit mean I just want you to understand that this is very hard for him ๐ฅ
Willow: I just want to help Tao through this time he is my friend ๐คจ
Mom: aw your such a sweet girl how old are you ?๐
Willow: 17 ??๐
Mom: hmm you see Anderson is not trying to be mean by shoving you to the side he wants to protect you see our Daughter Andrea died in a war just like this one coming she was not much younger then you he is scared that if you tag along you will meet the same fate as her ๐ฅ
Willow: .. I understand but that still wont keep me out of this if it was not for Tao and the others I would be dead already I'm sure..... along with my brother so if there is anything I can do to help them then I will I don't want to hurt you or Anderson but I'm stronger then you think so I appreciate your concerns but I'll be fine and when this is all over I hope we can be Friends after all if Tao trust you guys then so do I ๐
Mom: hmm your so sweet and innocent of course we will still be friends sense you have your mind set on this just stay close by me alright dear ill protect you ๐
Willow: . hmm ok ๐
Tao: Willow ๐ค
Willow: yes Tao ?๐
Tao: your going to be teamed up with M alright ๐ค
M21: what why me ?๐
Ozzie: shouldn't they both be pared with someone stronger ?๐
M21: . are you calling me weak ? ๐
Ozzie: yes because you are ๐
At that moment M21 lunged at Ozzie before he got to her Takeo stepped in-between them he put his hand on M21's shoulder stopping him
Takeo: M calm down Ozzie doesn't know how strong you are so there is no reason to take that personally ๐
M21: . hmm ๐
Ozzie: ..๐
Tao: M you will be in charge of keeping Willow safe along with keeping the innocent people out of the way it is very important alright โบ
M21: fine๐
Tao: and Takeo you and Ozzie will be a team ๐ค
right at that moment a portal opened and Leo came walking in
Ozzie: what that don't make since why would you put two snipers together ? shouldn't we be in different areas of the Capital so we can cover everyone's back?๐คจ
Takeo: I agree with Ozzie ๐ค
Tao: you guys need to trust me on this ok ๐
Anderson: . if they are both Snipers they are right about being in different areas don't you think ?๐
Tao: no I'm positive they need to be a team trust me ๐
Leo: . (he looked at Tao then Takeo and Ozzie for a moment ) ooh I see it now yes Tao is right they would be a better team if together they can watch each others back while they cover our backs it will work don't question it now what do you need me to do ? I have permission now ๐
Anderson:....(whispers ) you guys๐
Tao: . Anderson shh ๐คซ now Leo you are going to be a distraction ๐ค
Leo: hmm ๐
Tao: ok here are the teams and what Anderson and myself came up with.... Mom your going to get us in after that we will separate into teams ๐
Teams are
M21,Willow and Mom
Takeo and Ozzie
Layla and Lola
Regis and Real
Anderson and myself
Leo your by yourself
Zara your by yourself
Real: wait why am I with Regis ?๐
M21: I'll switch places with you Rael you can protect Willow an I will protect Regis ๐
Rael: ....ย ๐
Regis: what I don't need any protection ๐
M21: didn't know you wanted kids so bad ๐
Regis: .... ???๐
Rael: ..... ๐
Mom: ..... ( she walked up to M21 and smacked him upside the head ) that is enough you shouldn't talk like that in front of children its not appropriate got it๐
M21: ... ( he looked at a very confused Regis then looked at Willow who looked like she understood ) sorry ๐
Regis: what are you apologizing for ?? for your information I do want Children but I am not in a hurry ๐
Rael: . hahahahaha Regis you don't get it you have so much to learn ๐
Mom: .( she shot Rael a glare ๐ ) enough he has plenty of time to learn about that stuff and this is not the time to talk about this ๐
Rael: .....๐
Willow: ..... hmm I agree this is not the time maybe when we get back I will explain all this to Frankenstein so he can explain it to Regis ๐
M21: ......๐
Real: ......๐
Tao: . lets get back to the plans and nobody is switching teams so get used to it alright Takeo you and Ozzie will find a good spot to cover everyone and if you by chance see Samuel I will leave that up to you alright and Taush your going to be on Dragon duty you are going to keep Lyra busy alright ๐ค
Taush: umm ok but who is Lyra?๐คจ
Tao: ooh Lyra is Lukas's Dragon ๐
M21: why don't we just kill the Dragon and be done with it ๐
Tao: M ... I don't want to kill her it's not her fault you see it would be like if Takeo went crazy and told Taush to attack us Taush would have to do as he was ordered to even if he didn't want to Lyra is a victim of Lukas's madness its wrong to blame her ๐
Willow: so shes being forced to attack us ? ๐ค
Tao: yes see wild Dragon's dont just attack people unless they have a reason to Lyra was a pure soul so this has to be hard for her ๐
Takeo:ย Tao if wild Dragon's need a reason to attack people then why did that Light Dragon attack us?๐คจ
Tao:ย ....... ๐ค
Leo:..... that's because she is a pain in theย A**ย not all Dragons act like that most are pure souls like Tao said ๐
