51.) Where Have you Been?

It was a new day, and the gang were all waking up bright and early for school. Amera was the first to physically get up and was in the midst of brushing her teeth within her room's bathroom. Everyone else starts to get up as Amera exits the bathroom, combing her long, curly black hair with a dragon-bone comb. Just then, she finally noticed Morpheus in the corner, stuck in a blank stare.

Amera: "Hey… Morpheus?"

Ju'Mosi: "Huuuh? (WOAH! What the hell happened to my braaah?)" *He wears a shocked look on his face* 

Clarence: "What the? Morpheus?"

Amera: "MORPHEUS!?" *Step* *STEP* 

Amera walks over to Morpheus, who is sitting on his pallet, in the southern corner of Amera's small living room. *SMACK* Amera slaps Morpheus across the left side of his face, extremely hard.

Amera: "MORPHEUS-"

Morpheus: "RRAAURGH!!!" *Growl* 

Malikai: "Woah!" *Step* 

Zoshen: "What… the?"

Everyone is startled as they slowly step back from a snarling, slightly feral Morpheus. His claws were pulled out on both hands and feet. His teeth were sharp to the tip on every single one. His eyes turned bright yellow and glowed as his hair stood up without his hair gel. His blackish grey wolf ears were no longer hidden and his tail was free, and every hair stood up. Ju'Mosi grabbed Amera right as Morpheus morphed out(no pun intended).

Amera: "Let… mrrhmh!! Get… OFF ME!" *she breaks free from Ju'Mosi and approaches Morpheus* 

Ju'Mosi: "Hey man… your funeral dude." 

Clarence: "She better be careful, breh. Seems Morpheus is above that of a 10 when he ain't pretendin'."

Zoshen: "I saw that too…(Bitch!... Stupid. Fucking… BITCH!)" *he wears a heavily frustrated look on his face* 

Malikai: …(Jealous much?) *he thinks to himself as he stares at Zoshen* 

Amera: "Ah… you dirty fucking, lying ass bitch! "Let's gyet to thaa top… GuYssss'' , Oh what a load!" 

Morpheus began to come to his senses after hearing Amera say one simple word… Bitch.

Morpheus: "Aye!... Who you callin' a bitch!?" *he says while leaning his head and body to the left*

Amera: "Umm… you! You're a 10.5!?"

Morpheus: "A... huh? (Oh craaaap!)" 

Morpheus looks around the room to see everyone staring in disappointment and resentment.

Ju'Mosi: "Daaaang brah… that's cold man." 

Clarence: "Mhmm mmm mh!" *he says while shaking his head* 

Malikai: "Yo ass caught, booyyyy!"

Morpheus: "Mhm… so it seems. I mean… I'm only one point above you guys- *Vwimp* *vwimp* *vwim..* Eh!?" 

Morpheus turns and quickly scopes out the room in a frantic manner. Looking for something while he himself is looking crazy. 

Amera: "Uh… Morpheus? What are you looking for?" 

Morpheus: "I heard… an odd noise that reminded me of what even had me stuck like that to begin with." 

Ju' Mosi: "A… noise brah?"

Clarence: "Well… what had you stuck like that?" 

Morpheus: "I… don't really know what it was but… it had an ominous aura that made the malice within my brothers' aura seem… truly pure of heart and righteous intent." 

Amera: "Huh?" 

Malikai: "What the hell did you see bro?" 

Morpheus: "It was… like some sort of blob that had one, singular eyeball. The eyeball was pure white while the pupil was more of a… mix of purple, sky blue and royal blue. It… let out such a weird screech but yet there was no noise. It was as if the thing's… essence could scream itself. And from what I can feel… it wanted out of something then it just kind of fell back under. It was the wildest thing I've ever experienced." 

Zoshen: "That's… hard to believe even with all the crap we have in each clan… shit ANY civilization honestly." 

Malikai: "A blob with essence that conveys thought messages and emotion. Sounds crazy in all honesty but, not like I wasn't cowering in fear. I was awake at the time as well." 

Morpheus: "Ah, good, good. You felt it, too. At this point, I'm just wondering where it came from and where it went." 

Ju'Mosi: "Hmm… I guess we'll find out later. But we should really get ready, brah. School starts in ten minutes." 

Clarennce: …*PEW* 

Malikai: *PEW* 

Zoshen: "Shit!" *PEW* 

Morpheus: "Awwwe, man! You guys are amateurs." *Snap* 

Morpheus' school attire flashes on to his person, shoes and all. He seemed to come out of a pocket dimension he learned to wield when mastering his Mayhem Birthright. He even manages to keep some extra hair gel in there as well… for times like these, of course *wink* 

Morpheus: "I always keep a spare outfit and my Gina Vermilli's Hair Gelatin on me. Exclusive edition, of course. Ain't that Amera?" 

Amera: "Oh… but of course Morphy." *Snap* 

Morpheus: "Nope… not having it. Change the nickname, brah." 

Amera: "Oh hush. And don't forget to brush your teeth, you guys. Hm? Ju… where'd these clothes come from?" 

Ju'Mosi: "Brah… I was getting ready while Morpheus was telling his crack stories and stuff." 

Morpheus: "Ahhe fwuck chou mahn. *swish* *swig* *brush* (Crack story, my ass. These HANDS got a crack story for that ass.)"

Ju'Mosi: "Plus, Morpheus was right. You've just gotta keep an extra outfit… "Brah." 

Amera: "Oh… well, brush your teeth, and let's go!" 

Ju'Mosi: "Alright… brah. ( I'm glad I didn't have to run back to my room like those three dweebs. Rushin' and staufff, brah.) 

Morpheus and Ju'Mosi brushed their teeth, and everyone got to dashing for the academy at full speed. They arrive at the school at great pace, clearing more than 15 astronomical units within 2 minutes. Giving them three, good minutes to spare. 

Amera: "Alright, Clarence, Malikai and Zoshen. We'll see you guys later!" 

Zoshen: "Alrighty Mera, Morpheus and Ju! Good luck on them tests. Morpheus gonna neeed it." 

Morpheus: "Fuck. You." *left handed middle finger*

Clarence: "Let's talk about that party laterrrr." 

Ju'Mosi: "For sure brah."

Amera: "What party?" 

Morpheus: "You haven't heard?" 

Amera: "Nope!"

Ju'Mosi: "Ah brah. I'll fill you in as we fly to our classes." 

Amera: "Alright." 

The two groups split apart and head in two seperate directions. Clarence yells mention of a party… Ju'Mosi and Morpheus just had to fill Amera in on the escapades.

Morpheus: "Soo… Zelibus ended up getting permission from his parents and he can throw a party in their huge, 4 story, japanese style mansion… on the side." 

Amera: "On the side?" 

Morpheus: "On the side." 

Ju'Mosi: "On the siiiide, brah! *he says with intense feeling as he looks up with his eyes closed* But yeah man… it seems anyone out of everyone can come if you can make it. He said even the Galaxy-Ball team from Dragopell University will be there. And they're bringing… the baaaabes!" *yet another intense feeling as he rolls his eyes back and flares his nostrils* 

Amera: "Ooooh. Now that sounds like a good time!" 

Morpheus: "Yeah brah." 

Ju'Mosi: "Bring the 52 tunes brah." 

Morpheus: "Yeah brah?"

Amera: "Yeah brah."

Ju'Mosi: "Super-yeah brah." *Clap* 

Morpheus: "Alright brah. It's a go!" *backhand* 

Ju'Mosi: "InduUuUuUubitably brah! *fist bump* But I'll see you guys later brah." 

Morpheus: "Alright Ju, my man. Later!" 

Amera: Love ya cousin." 

Ju'Mosi: "Love ya more brah." *Wave* 

Ju'Mosi heads over to his Clan Departure Prep class while Amera and Morpheus head over to their Quantum class, where a big test awaits them. Meanwhile… in a much further off and distant universe. Behind that of the Embodiment Clan(Embodi Mozan) and their territory. Within the farthest galaxy to the south, within a small solar system with only 6 planets and a blue dwarf star. There lied a planet of lush, yellow and blue plant life and oceans that took up only half the planet. There was a Gahwardian sitting within a fortress made from a… Contract. 

Haydes: "So… who may it be that's stepping into my wartanium fortress, with such… disrespect?!" 

???: "None… but an old and very tall friend. It's been quite some time Haydes." 

Haydes: "It's… you-" 

???: "Nah-ah-uhhh. *finger wave* Spoilers! I just came here to ask you… is your goal still the same, my boy?" 

Haydes: "Spoilers!?... The hell do I care and… yes! It is very much still the same. This rule of Life and Death won't go on forever. I'll put an end to it." 

???: "Ah… now that's just lovely to hear. Just absolutely lovely." 

Haydes: "Stop being a creep and get to the point. Why are you here?" 

???: "Ah… well you're no fun at all Haydes, but fine my boy. Fine! I've simply come to give my aid yet again. And hope that you don't screw it up this time ya' damn ingrate." 

Haydes: "Not my fault you creating a being that could help my elder brother in combat. Just how do you plan on helping cause if it's like that then I don't want it! Bad enough, your first help backfired heavily." 

???: "Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'll just be dropping off about 50… of these here white and black Nymphyknights. They'll be at your full command and can be used in any way seen fit. And with you already knowing what genetic blessings Nymphylons possess..." 

Haydes: "Keh!" *A sinister smile spreads across his face* 

???: "You'll know exactly what to do with them in regards to taking out Death II, Shiishii Lucis Senkozen. Don't disappoint now Haydes… "the punishment will be mighty." 

Haydes: "Surely you jest. Someone who does not control me can not judge my actions on whether it's a failure or not. Let alone discipline me for them. You're a fool whose help I will take. Ans quit the puns, you tall ass bastard." 

???: "Kukukuuu! You're hilarious, Haydes, my boy! We'll keep in touch!" *Fwip* 

The tall man had left the fortress and, on his departure, remained 50 incredible specimens who were from a race considered to be the Purest of gods in genetic form. All following every order Haydes will give them.

Haydes: "It would seem I'm going to need a service from you all already." 

Nymphyknites: "LET'S HEAR IT, SIR!!!"  

Haydes: "Alright, rhen. There's going to be a young god I'll need you all to find. He'a gonna be a great help in what I have planned."

Nymphyknites: "Point us in the path we must follow and WE. WILL. GET HIM!!!" 

Haydes: "Hehehe!!! He'll be stationed within the Gahwardian territory. Scour through the center of the quadrant to find this certain god and bring them to me. I've shown you the picture, so go and FIND HIM!!!"

Nymphyknites: "Sir, YES, SIR!!!" *FWIP* *FWIP* *FWIP* *PEW* *FWIP* *PEW* 

Haydes: "And thus, starts my training to become the very bane to your existence, Shiishiiii!""

All of his new subordinates set off into the omniverse to hurry and find the man in the picture they were shown. The orders were, "Find the target and subdue them or convince them to join us. But… you'll more than likely be forcing them. They seem to be trying their best to be pure of heart, but that's all a bunch of bullshit! Bring the heathen, ALIVE." And that's all the info they needed as they set off into the Colossaverse to infiltrate Gahwardia's territory.

Haydes: "Only a matter of time before I can begin scheming to strike at my brother once again. I won't be letting anything stop me. Not even my love for Shii. My hate for Death is greater, and truth be told. Once I get to that level, I'll challenge Gaia and defeat her as well." 

Haydes walks over to a desk with what seems to be a looking glass in the shape of an orb. Haydes takes a seat there and stares into the orb. 

Haydes: "Hmm…" well aside from all that. I've been able to check in on Vashjai & Ebon, Kishin, and even that asshole Shiishii. Guess I'd be just as much an asshole if I didn't go ahead and check on our baby brother, Morpheus. Reveal to me his location, please; Morpheus!" 

And just like that. The looking glass reveals that of Morpheus and his buddy, Ju'Mosi, getting out of their final class of the day. Zoshen, Malikai, and the others followed close behind. 

Haydes: "Heh… looking like a young rebel, Shiishii. Gotta love this kid, man." 

Morpheus: "Alright, so, now that we are out of class… we can start talking about this party that's about to happen in two weeks." 

Amera: "No doubt. We definitely gotta get a break and treat ourselves to these wonderful escapades!" 

Ju'Mosi: "Let's go ahead and hop in our training gear after we get to the dorms. We can talk during our stretches." 

Clarence: "Plan it all out?"

Ju'Mosi: "Yeah, brah?

Morpheus: "Yes, brah!"  

Amera: "Of course, brah." 

Malikai: "What else, brah?" 

Zoshen: "Let's plan it out, brah!" 

Ju'Mosi: "That's wassuuuhh brah. Let's get this work then!" 

Everyone: "YEAAAAH!!!" 

The group flies back to their dorms at the royal keep. They all change into their training gear and meet back up on the training grounds fresh and ready to get another good day of practice in. To their surprise… two special guests were already awaiting their arrival.  

Morpheus: "Whet!?"

Amera: "Zaira, Zelibus? What're you guys doing here today." 

Ju'Mosi: "Yeah… this is a little unexpected." 

Zoshen: "A little?" *he looks at Ju'Mosi with a hysterical expression*

Malikai: "Majorly unexpected, bruh. Stop it." 

Clarence: "You guys are training too?" 

Zaira: "Well, a little birdy told me you guys train here almost on a daily basis. So I thought my younger brother and I'd join the menageries." 

Zelibus: "Zaira's been showing me the Royal Guard's secret martial arts and how to use Zenchi. One could say I'm on a whole new level. Plus, I needed to speak with you guys about the party. Need y'all to come early that day and be my host along with my two buddies." 

Morpheus:  "Sounds good, sounds good, but uh… is this about to be Zelibus VS. Morpheus 2.0?" 

Zelibus: "Oh, but of course ya brat. It's time for a little payback." *he smashes his fists together*

Morpheus: "This… is something I've been looking forward to for quite some time." 

Amera: "Do you guys… feel it too?" *sweat drop* 

Ju'Mosi: "Yeah… it seems we've got another one, brah." 

Clarence: "We've been shown up. Guess I've got some work to do."

Zoshen: "No kidding." 

Malikai: (Zelibus too, huh?)

Morpheus: "From what I can sense… you're free to leave the clan as well. This match is gonna shake and tear these grounds to oblivion.'

Zelibus: "Let it be my introduction to the group known as Young STRIFE!"

Everyone: "HELL YEAH!!"

Amera: "Get 'em in here, Morpheus!" 

Morpheus: "My pleasure." 

Zaira: "Ha! Now, this is what I wanted to see! A rematch between the two young titans of D-Drag! I'll be the referee!" 

Morpheus: "Say it with me, y'all!" 

Everyone: "Yep!"

Morpheus: "We…"

Amera: "We…" 

Shiishii: "Gaia, Dante… y'all feel that." *grin* 

Gaia: "A new young one?" 

Dante: "The help just keeps growing." 

Haydes: "Now this is gonna be gooood!" 

Morpheus: "Invoke…"

Zoshen: "Invoke…" 

Kishin: "Whaaaat?"

Zenki: "What is it?" 

ZeeArc: "A new young STRIFER is being initiated through combat." 

Zenki: … *grin* "Morpheus, huh?" 

Kishin: "Yep." 

Morpheus: "Strific-Inner Combat!" 

Zelibus: "Strific-Inner Combat!"

Zaira: "Woooohoooo!!! Let the match, BEGIN!!!" 

Upon going about their normal everyday training regimen, a new partner arrives. Only to challenge for rights into STRIFE. A rematch between the two titans of D-Drag… was about to begin.
