Angel woke up with a strange feeling that morning. One thing for sure was that she didn't have to go to school any more. Good thing that she had graduated already. Her parents had a serious faces and everything was quiet.

"Goodmorning guys" she said as she walked to get a piece of toast. None of her parents answered. She just ignored that and left the house. She only had one place to go and that was the usual cafe. Her and her friends always hung out. As she got on her car her back started itching.

"Ugh this itch is getting annoying" she said as she scratched her back and headed to the cafe.

Serah was in the Dojo of her traditional styled house. Sweat trailed down her brow and make her want to take a long hot shower but training wasn't over. Her father would never allow that with her being the only child in the family and a female to add. It was her responsibility to become the next great kendo master. Then she was going to teach it to her children and so forth. The fact that she was a female out of all the males that had been taught the skill of kendo meant that she to train mornings, noons, and at night when all was quiet except for herself. She raised her blade eying her father, flicking her tail slowly calculating his next move. As he began his steps forward moving his blade as gracefully as a deadly butterfly, she sidestepped swinging her blade around in a move that would strike him down with a slash to the back. Right as her blade was about to create victory it was stolen from her with a quick pull. All she could see was the room flying past her and then she felt the pain of something hitting her back.

"Ouch! Why?" She looked up glaring fiercely at the man she called her father. "You didn't mind your tail. All parts of your body are a weakness. Use those weaknesses as an advantage. Plus you could have done a back-stab. Don't just swing your blade. Think!" Serah bared her teeth at the man her ears going down in anger. "I was thinking. You just won't play fair. I dont think a human would snatch up my tail like that." "Be prepared for everything. Now come and sit." She crawled over obediently and sat below him. Raising her hands, outstretched, she bowed her head. "You understand your punishment." She heard the blade arch through the air right before it hit the back of her wrung hands. She stayed silent and enduring almost wanting to cry out in pain. This was life she remind herself.

After a shower she bandaged her hands up and went to her dresser to pull some clothes on. She put on a nice skirt that had pants underneath to hide her tail then a white shirt with artistic flowers on it. She adorned her white beret hat to hide her ears and went to have a relaxing tea at the cafe. She wrapped up her blade in cloth making it appear like a small instrument. With it strapped over her shoulder she headed out to the cafe. As she was half-way down the street she turn to peer up at her house before sighing and heading on her way.

Rayoni walked down stairs to the kitchen and saw her parents sitting in on the couch whispering about something. She opened the fridge and pulled out the orange juice and poured herself a glass. She hopped up onto the counter and tried to listen to her parents, but as soon as they noticed her watching them, they started speaking louder and about something that was unimportant to her interest.

He quickly finished off her orange juice and jumped down from the counter, almost running into the island in the middle of the kitchen. She hated being blind in her right eye, it was this hideous black coloration, but lately, when she would take off her eye patch, she would see people in this eerie red crimson-like color. she hadn't really thought much about it, she thought maybe her vision was coming back to her, but she couldn't see anything but people and animals through it, which she thought was strange.

She walked out of the kitchen and past her parents, not saying a word to them. She shut the door behind her and headed to the cafe to meet up with everyone.

Ravant had his bag slung over one shoulder with a single strap. He hate school, he had been initiated into the family business but due to a past accident that left him hospitalized he was behind several years. He tucked the revolver deeper into his belt, its handle beneath his shirt and bullet proof vest… he couldn’t help but notice the cars that had been following his family lately… clearly a rival family or the Feds… either was bad. Though it didn’t matter much he had become a straight A student the last few weeks… he knew everything… it was like… he could read the minds of those around him… a strange enough feeling but he felt it was more then an equal trade for his sudden brilliance.

"BLEEP BLEEP BLEEP"

'Ugh, what is that sound?'

"BLEEP BLEEP BLEEP"

'Oh yea, i have to get up...'

"BLEEP BLEEP BLEEP"

"GAWD, JUST SHUT UP ALREADY!" Xine yelled at the alarm clock. Knowing he had to actually move to keep his ears from bleeding, he slammed his right hand on the Alarm clock. 'Wait a minute,' he thought to himself, 'Peppers fractured this wrist yesterday... wonder why it's fine now... Did i imagine it? No, the pain was too real... oh well.' Xine put aside his simple inquisitions for the time being.

Xine moved off the bed and pulled on the same cloths he had worn the day before. He moved through his morning ritual, gathering his personal belongings, making sure he was ready to head off and actually learn something. "Heh, the first day i go to school this week... hope it's nothing huge. Not like anyone would miss me anyways," he muttered to himself. Finally ready to leave, Xine walked out of his room and into the inferno.

His parents were already awake, and they seemed to be arguing. Nothing new, but this argument seemed... different somehow. Xine moved into the kitchen and poured himself a bowl of the sugariest cereal he could find, and took his time eating it to observe the fight as it unfolded. However, as soon as his parents noticed him observing them, they immediately ceased their argument. "Please, don't stop just because of me," Xine muttered with a mouth half-full of cereal. "Son, your mom and i, we... well, we just," His dad began. "We're just arguing about places to move in town, that's all," his mother interjected. "Yes son, just a little move." "Fine, whatever. I'll be gone in a few moments anyways, you can pick it up again when i leave," Xine said. Xine finished his cereal, gathered his rare homework, packed up his backpack, and went for the door. "Hey son?" His dad asked. "Yea, dude?" "You know we... We love you son, always have, always will... you know that, right, son?" "Yea dad, i know, i love you guys-" Xine was interrupted as his mother gave him a big hug, followed quickly by his father. "Uhm, i lover you guys... too...?" Xine said, giving his parents a light hug in confusion. "Alright guys, i gotta get going now, i'll see you after i hang with Peppers, k?" Xine must have said something that got to them, and he was relieved when they backed off. He opened the door, readied his truck keys, and felt an urge to turn back, give his parents as big a hug as they gave him, tell them he loved them, but he resisted. Instead he said, "Hey, i love you guys... I'll bring you guys something to be proud of for once, okay?" With that he ran out the door, climbed in his truck, and processed what had just happened. 'Man, what are those guys thinking? That was definitely weird... but... it made me feel really good... Man, i sure am lucky," Xine thought to himself as he drove down the streets of his quaint neighborhood. 'Well, time to pick up Peppers at the Cafe, i guess'

Once Angel got to the cafe she felt better. For some reason just because of the coffee she was about to get. As soon as she walked in Bob the cashier greeted her like always. "Your usual for today Angel?" he asked.

"Yup, the usual Bob. Same thing ive been getting for the past two years" she smiled as she gave her the cup.
"Here it is, just knew you were going to ask for it so i made it just before you got here" he said as he smiled.As soon as she was going to give him the money he rejected it.
"Don't worry, its on me this morning. Youve been a great customer" he said as she turned to greet the others customer. She just thanked him and went to sit down.

As she was drinking her coffee she was thinking about this morning. It was awkward for her parents to be fighting. More importantly how they didn't even bothered to say good morning. As she stared at the T.V the new came on.

"THIS JUST IN, A HOUSE ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF THE CITY WAS JUST FOUND FULL OF MUTANTS. IT SEEMS THAT THEY WERE TAKING SHELTER HERE HIDING FROM THE GOVERNMENT. MOST WERE FUGITIVES OR DELINQUENTS. " That was all that she was able to hear before Bob changed the channel. It seemed to be in ever channel so he just turned it off.

"That must suck" she said to herself.

Serah arrived at the cafe and walked inside hearing the chime of the door above her. She felt eyes turn to her and she almost bristled feeling the pressure. It was like everyone was trying to devour her with their eyes. She moved to take a seat in the corner and pulled out her headphones to block out the noise. "It's been like this for a while now. Geez."

Everyone would be staring at her for no reason at all then as if a switch was cut off they would go back to what they were doing. What made it stranger though was that when she was sad everyone came over to hug and console her. When she was angry everyone yelled at each other and ended up fighting. When she was happy, well let's just say people were a little weird. Googly eyes were never her favorite thing to see on a person's face. The only other weird thing in her life was that she was beginning to hear things that she knew was happening from miles away. Sure, her cat ears had good hearing but miles were pushing it. She blamed all her problems on her father. He wanted her to become skilled. Well, his training was making her life a little too weird. "Stupid man." She sighed and picked up the menu scanning it over. She wanted a simple cafe Au lait with cheesecake. Strawberries as a topping to add. That was one of her comfort foods that she couldn't resist.

She hailed the waiter and smiled politely giving her order. As the guy walked off to go get her order, she smiled and stared out the window at the sky. She felt excited and happy and yet she could feel the stares that gained her. "I wonder if i have something on my face other than my glasses? I doubt it." She glanced over as she heard some kind of breaking news.

"THIS JUST IN, A HOUSE ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF THE CITY WAS JUST FOUND FULL OF MUTANTS. IT SEEMS THAT THEY WERE TAKING SHELTER HERE HIDING FROM THE GOVERNMENT. MOST WERE FUGITIVES OR DELINQUENTS. "

"Holy cow." She felt her tail, try and fail, to whip in anger but her thoughts strayed to wondering who exactly they were talking about. The girl came back with her coffee and cake and she stared at the screen as it went through a series of switches then finally going off. "Who?" She looked back to the window grinding her teeth her mind trying to process the problem.

Rayoni walked into the cafe and ordered herself a black coffee and sat down with her cup at a table near the window and pulled out her sketch book and pulled out a normal ball point pin and just sat, doodling. She didn't exactly need to pay attention to her sketch book, her hand always led itself along the pages. It always seemed to make the most hideous monsters she'd ever seen.

She turned on her MP4 player and turned on the radio function and put in her head phones in. Almost every station was talking about the mutants that had been contained from their homes. They seemed to be talking pretty harsh about them and she chuckled to herself, "dumb people, they can't handle anyone who is different anymore..." She said a bit too loudly.

Xine pulled up tot he quaint cafe in his beat up red truck. He picked a parking spot close by, got out and surveyed the area for his friend. 'Hm, no sign. He must be inside.'

Xine walked around the small parking lot and made his way inside. It didn't take him long to see his friend sitting at a table, sipping on a cup of coffee. "Hey dude," Xine said as he walked over and pulled up a seat. "Oh, hey, i ordered you a black coffee, hope you don't mind," his friend replied. "Nah, no worries dude, i got it covered. Hey, have you heard about the bust they made on the mutant House?" Xine's coffee came just as he started the conversation with his friend. "Who HASN'T, dude? They're making the entire thing a nationwide broadcast, almost like a warning sign to all mutants," Peppers stated. Xine pondered the situation, and then nonchalantly leaned back in his chair and said "Well, I'm no mutie, not my problem. Anyways, let's get going here in the next soon. I actually have a hankering to get to school early today." Peppers almost choked on his sip of coffee, and managed to stutter out, "YOU, making it to SCHOOL? EARLY??? Alright dude, what did you do?" "Nothing," Xine promised, "Scouts honor... It's just... my parents... i actually decided to stay home last night instead of finding some place to raise hell, and... blagh, forget it. It's nothing. Let's just get going here in the next soon."

Xine finally decided to break the walls of his conversation and take in his surroundings. He saw the usuals, the happy, bustling people going about their daily lives. Xine had never taken participation in the cafe much, really ever, except when his friend was there for the mornings. if not for those few rare occurrences. But still, just like back home, something felt... different... Looking around, he saw a girl, with her headphones in, slightly arrogant, untouchable by him... He saw another girl, looking around nervously, trying to work something out in her head when a waitress brought her a piece of cake... He saw a couple at a table, grinning and flirting with each other... he saw another girl talking with the cashier at the counter... a couple other people looking at the small menu... and then he laid eyes on the strangest sight he had seen all day, the source of the bad vibes he was getting. He was sitting alone, in a corner, wearing a tan suit with a withe button up shirt, and his hair combed neatly. The sight of the man almost reminded Xine of a probation officer he had a couple years back, with his professional aura... Xine looked deeper into the man's appearance, and his eyes, his eyes gave him a feeling that almost made him sick. They looked black, almost completely sunken in, and he was looking at every person in the cafe...

"... ..ude... DUDE!"

Xine snapped out of his trance and glanced back at Peppers, saying "Huh, yea, i agree" "Well, alright, if you feel like picking up the tab this time, i won't stop ya," Peppers teased. "Wait, what, i, no, you... GAH, fine," Xine stammered and pulled out his wallet. He placed the money on the table, enough to cover the cost of the coffee and the tip for the waitress, and got up from his seat. Xine looked back to the corner, where he saw the man in the suit, but he was gone now... He simply discarded it as a dream, thinking to himself, 'Damn, did i imagine that whole thing?" Xine ground the gears in his head, trying to figure things out, and was thouroughly confused for the second time in the last hour. "Come on, dude, let's get out of here... i'll give you a ride to school," Xine offered his friend. "Sounds good to me, we're gone." Xine walked for the door, and took one last glance at the corner where he had seen the man in the suit. Nothing there, empty seat, and as Xine reassured himself it was just his mind playing tricks on him, he felt better, and headed for his truck with his friend.

Rayoni looked out the window and got an eerie feeling and her hand just kept drawing on it's own. She paid no attention to it until her hand stopped, that almost never happened unless she "made" it stop. She glanced down at her sketch pad and it made her jump a bit.

The image of her parents, being put in a dark van by force. She stared at the picture for a moment in shock then just put her sketch pad beside her. It was basically the only thing she ever carried around, and that wasn't very often. But today for some reason unknown to her yet, she felt the need to bring it with her.

As soon as she looked back out the window, she saw a black fan that looked almost exactly like the one in her drawing, go driving down the street at a very unusual speed.

Ravant walked into the café ordering a cup of tea and several scones. He took his seat after throwing several bills onto the counter leaning back as he drank from his cup. Leaning back in his chair he watched the ceiling, to many students… none he really cared about… but they were ok people… hadn’t done anything that angered him so they were fine by his book.

Serah watched a man walk into the cafe sitting down with his extremely loud friend whose favorite word seemed to be 'dude.' She shook her head wanting to give him an English dictionary. It was pretty easy to find another word for a male specimen of human persuasion. "Geez." She took another long drink of her coffee and relaxed a bit watching the other sights and sounds of the cafe. It was almost an amusing hobby to see so many expressions that all looked different but all meant the same thing in one way or another. She was watching one particular girl as she had a strange expression. She turned her head to look to where the girl had turned to look. A black van zoomed by giving her a mini heart attack. "Well, my lord. Talk about needing to take another license test." She clicked her tongue scorning the driver in her mind.

She had turned her attention back to the cafe's inhabitants seeing as she felt due scorn towards the driver was properly given. A man had just walked in. He didn't look like the cafe type with all the brawn and wide shoulders. A thought ran across her mind.

Perhaps it just looks like he has brawn from this angle.

She gave it some thought then dismissed it deciding to not be as nosy as she felt her cat-like nature. She hadn't noticed though, that she was watching him so much her ears had begun to flick in curiosity and interest. "Darn, that can't happen." She reached up rearranging her hat just enough to where it was a passive gesture. Something anyone would just take for a girl concerned with her public image.

Let them think what they wanna think. I don't give a care. I can't have them see my ears and tail. What if that accident happens again?

She laughed at the thought and took a bite of the sweet cake savoring it slowly, turning her dark blue gaze back to the window beside her. The accident to which she was referring was the one where her supposed best friend went to pet her. It wasn't a pretty scene with her rolling on the ground moaning and purring all the while. Asking, no, begging for one more stroke across the ears. Those ears were way to sensitive to be good. They were a dangerous embarrassment to be feared! She grinded her teeth then sighed lightly letting the matter go. The past was the past and it wasn't bothering her now. The girl was long gone and probably off with friends of her own. The past didn't matter but yet you had to live for the present and future. That was a given most of the time.

Ravant sat back taking out his phone as it began to play a rather annoying but easily heard ringing. He looked it over sighing. “School… how I hate you…” He stood up leaving his untouched scones and barely touched tea and walked out the door. He hated school… Straight As or not even being captain of the football team wasn’t interesting anymore… he figured out the opponent’s plays to easily… a slacker turned into one of the schools gneisses and a physically strong individual to boot. Though everything had become dull… nothing was really a challenge anymore.

Rayoni kept looking out the window, a little freaked out about the van that went racing by. Usually she didn't care about such things that had nothing to do with her, but that van had given her an uncomfortable feeling. She looked at her half empty up of coffee and ran her finger across the rim slowly, pondering.

Lately everything had felt different to her, like something big was about to happen. She had never felt this way before, and she didn't like it, not at all.

She fidgeted with her eye patch for a long moment while she was finishing her coffee then got up and walked out of the cafe, forgetting that she had her sketch book with her, leaving it at the table she was at.

Angel was just sitting down enjoying her cup of coffee when suddenly a black van passed by rushing, probably going twice the speed limit. What was even worse was that there was not one cop behind them or anything. She payed no attention to it. But when more vans started coming along she started getting worried. It wasn't until one got into the parking lot of the cafe that made her hears skip a beat. It had parked right behind a guys truck. Right when he was about to get out they had blocked his path not letting him go anywhere.

She knew that the guy was going to get off the truck and come back to the cafe, probably to argue with the driver. When like around 9 guys came out of the truck with weapons she started sweating. Something was going on. When they came inside they looked at everyone suspicisly. Each and everyone walked to a certain spot of the cafe.

"We want no one to move. Everything is under control." he said as he walked up to Bob. "Where are they?" he asked.

"They are in the restroom. They have been there for a while now." he said.

The only thing that came to mind was mutants. And if it already wasn't bad timing her back started to itch again. Right on the shoulder blades. She had heard of them going to placed but had never actually been in one.Moments later two young boys came out of the restroom.
"Put your hands up!" screamed the officer to them.

"Run you idiot" screamed the older guy to his little brother. As soon as he said that the older guy raised his arms and the guns went to the air.

"Be careful he can control metal" said the officer with is hands up. The youngest took off into the air trying to fly to the door but was cought by one of them. Before they older could point the guns to him his brother was being hold in a choking posiont.

"Let go of the guns and come with us, or else things will get ugly" said the officer.
"No you let him go" screamed the boy.

Angel couldnt watch any longer so she stood up and shouted "THATS ENOUGH! LET HIM GO!" as she said that multicolor fairy like wings came out from her back, her hair turned white.

"Well well looks like we got ourselves another mutie here, and a Guardian at that" said the officer with an evil smile.

Mutie? Guardian? What was he talking about? Now she was confused and scared. Was she a mutant?

Ravant had seen the vans driving by, he stopped curious as men with guns stormed into the café. “Hmmm” He moved to a window and watched the armed men being disarmed. He stepped in looking around watching the girl grow wings. “Well now… its very impolite to call people mutants…” He said drawing his baton pressing the trigger causing electricity to race over it. “Well have the lot of you looked in a mirror, because your all about to be quite deformed…”

Rayoni had seen all the vans and watched them drive by. Her hand started twitching so she went to reach for her sketch pad and noticed she had left it at the cafe, "damn," she said low and heads to the cafe quickly.

When she got to the cafe she saw what was going on and she looked confused, "what the heck?" she mumbled under her breath.

Her hand started twitching worse so she slowly made her way to the sketch book, watching everything that was going on silently. When she finally got to her sketch book her hands started flipping through the pages quickly and pulled one of her ink brushes out of her back pocket. And even though there was absolutely no ink on the brush, it started to draw on the page, creating this horrid looking creature.

As soon as it finished drawing with the brush, the sketch book starts shaking and she looks at it confused. Suddenly, the drawing jumps off of the page and grew a bit and she backs away in shock. The creature jumps at one of the officers, attacking him.

Xine was getting ready to turn the truck on and back out of the parking lot when he saw a black van speeding down the road. 'Man, that was fast, wonder what's going on," He thought to himself. Just as he finished his thought, another black van pulled into the parking lot, and breakneck speeds, and parked itself right behind his truck. 'Mother of- this dude just blocked my way!' Xine got out of the truck, ready to unleash a verbal assault on the idiot in the driver seat, when the doors to the black van opened up and out poured a whole team of riot control personnel, equipped from head to toe in their bullet-proof armor, and carrying m4 assault carbines. Xine had no idea why they were there, but he DID know they were in his way. "Hey, are you daft or what? Move your van, i have to get going," Xine said to the leader of the pack. "Move aside, son," the G.I. leader said, "Unless you wanna get hurt." "Are you threatening me," Xine asked, half-stunned, "You get your ass back in that truck and move it before i- AAAUUGHHH!!!!" Xine was cut short by the Leader's amazing speed and skill, quickly smashing Xine's face into the side of his truck and pulling one of his arms behind him, chicken wing style. "I told you son, get out of the way unless you wanted to get HURT." The Leader emphasized the word "hurt" just as he pulled Xine's arm up, almost dislocating it, sending another wave of pain through Xine's mind. "AAAAUUUGGHHHH!! You sone of a- I'll make you regret this, i promise, jar head," Xine swore at the G.I. "Boss, let's go, he's just some punk. We got bigger fish to fry," One of the teams members told the Leader. The team member must have said a magic word, because at that moment, all hell seemed to break loose. The Leader dropped Xine on the parking lot ground, and the team rushed into the building. Other teams had already infiltrated and secured the Cafe, and were holding the place on Lock-down, with four guards at the door, three at each parking lot entrance, five or six- Xine couldn't tell exactly- at the rear entrances. It was a bit of a struggle to get up with only one arm, but Xine was already calculating his next move. The entrance to the Cafe and the Parking lot weren't that far apart, maybe about two-and-a-half truck lengths apart, perfect for Xine's next move. He pulled himself into the driver seat, and started turning the engine over.

The truck roared to life, and Xine revved up the engine a couple times. He got his desired outcome, the outposts at the front entrance and parking lot entrances looked his way. "What the hell are you doing!?" Peppers almost screamed. "Look at them, dude, arrogant pricks, someone has to stand up to 'em. They're here for mutants. That leader's speed, it wasn't human, you saw it. By the way, remind me to properly pay you back for your help with that situation." "It doesn't matter," Peppers yelled back" They'll kill you for interfering! They let you go, now just ride the storm out." Xine thought for a minute, and said, "Sorry dude, THEY can't kill me for it. Look at 'em, they've got no markings, they're NGO, privatized. this isn't a government-sanctioned op, and the people in the Cafe need help." As much as Xine wanted to believe his words, he knew they were almost as hollow as the breakfast he had eaten only an hour ago. He just wanted revenge, and by screwing up the entire carefully constructed operation the G.I.s had going, that seemed the best way to screw them up. Xine revved his engine a final time, and rocketed down the small parking lot. He pulled by close to the cafe, and then hit the brakes and swerved the tail end of his truck at the driveway guards, Aiming the front of his truck towards the Cafe entrance. He revved up again, and aimed his tail-end for the entrance guards, aiming the nose of the truck into the freeway. Xine smirked. The guards were now a good few yards away from their posts, and more than plenty confused. Some had even dropped their guns. Xine rolled down his window and observed the ongoing action. Some monster was attacking- no, eating one of the soldiers. One of the guys in the Cafe was wielding an electrical stun rod, poloice grade issue, and staring down one of the Officers. Another girl, he saw her earlier, talking to the cashier, but now, she looked so much different, almost angelic with her white hair and her wings. Xine had never seen a mutation like that before, but then again, Xine didn't hang with mutants much, either. Peppers was beside him, swearing at the top of his lungs, cursing Xine for his recklessness, demanding Xine stop, and that he wanted off this train-ride to hell. Xine ignored almost all of it, and wondered to himself, 'What the hell am I getting myself into?' Xine stuck his head out the window, and yelled, "ANY ONE THAT NEEDS OUT, HOP IN THE BACK AND KEEP YER' HEADS DOWN!"

Ravant moved forward putting his foot down on a holstered pistol one guard had been going for, he brought the stun rod down electricity sparking as the man collapsed. “Come on… or kicking your…” He paused taking out his cell phone. “Yes mother…” He casually side stepped a punch as if he knew it was coming smashing the stun rod into the man’s stomach. “Yes… I brought money for lunch…” As the guard doubled over he kneed him in the face sending him sprawling out on the floor. “Uh… what I want for dinner… not really a good time mom…” He dropped to the floor as one attempted to drop kick him. “Ah… the alfredo… think that ravioli went bad yes… love you to… bye.” He flipped it closed and put it away in his pocket drawing his revolver. “Ok… all you suits on the floor…” He looked back as someone shouted something from outside. “Well… might as well get a ride out… but seriously… any of you would be special ops so much as breath and I’m sending a nice high caliber round through your chests… Got it?”

Everything was moving too fast for Angel. Some guy got a rod out of nowhere and started beating some of the guys. She was still in shock that her hair had changed color and that she had wings on her back. Right when she was going to try to get out the door one of the guys stepped infront of her. "You are going nowhere muttie" he said as he tried to get her. Angel panicked and raised her arms to try to protect herself. As she did that the coffee she had in her cup flew straight the guys face making him get on his knees.

"Did I do that?" she asked herself. She had no time to sit there and ask questions, especially when a monster had popped out of nowhere and a guy had asked if they needed a lift. She had no choice but to get in it. Even if it meant leaving her car. She ran to the truck but her wings moved and she kinda floated to it. As she landed in the back she layed low.

"Please go away, please go away" she said as she felt her back feel a bit lighter. When she opened her eyes her wings were gone and her hair blonde, back to normal.

The monster that Rayoni had somehow created, after it had finished eating part of the one office, left the body lying on the ground and let out a strange growling sound as it looked at the other officers.

Rayoni had no clue how it had come to life, or what was really going on. She looked at Ravant, wondering why he carried around such a thing. When she looked at him, so did the creature. Almost as if it was copying her.

Ravant took a step back sliding his revolver back into his belt before climbing into the back of the truck. “Lets move it people… While some of you might think it fun… dodging bullets isn’t pleasant.”” He said retracting the thin metal baton. “Come on… we don’t got all day…”

Rayoni quickly went out of the cafe and got into truck bed with the others.

The creature tried to follow her but as soon as she stepped out of the cafe it dissolved into a puddle of ink. She held her sketch pad close now and she looked at the others, "what the heck just happened?" She asked. She was extremely confused. Black vans, shooting, a girl with wings, her drawing coming to life...she felt as if she was in some kind of action film.

'Holy hell, it actually worked... We're still alive...'

Xine hadn't actually planned on things taking effect this way, but the soldiers on the floor were beginning to stir. He had to make a decision, and fast, with three people now in the back of the truck, and shit getting ever closer to the fan with each passing second, but now, he had to make sure everything was handled. He stuck his out the window one more time and yelled at the only other remaining person in the Cafe, she seemed to be frozen with fear. "Come on, Kitten, we haven't got all day," He yelled back at the girl with the glasses.

Xine reached back and opened the glass divider between his passengers and himself. "So, is it me, or is everyone else getting the feeling that today's gonna be great?"

Serah watched the others fight mildly stepping away and remaining hidden.

"Hey you. Take off the hat and stand." Serah watched the man carefully then stood pulling off her hat showing her ears. "Problem sir?" "Yeah your a mutant. Let's go." "I can't do that sir." She smiled then felt as if a switch was cut on and the man fell face first hitting the floor completely asleep. She blinked then stepped over him a bit confused as to what that feeling was and how it happened.

She couldn't believe her even had the audacity to touch her. She grabbed up her concealed weapon and headed for the car figuring it was safety at the moment. She walked out the store peering back at it watching the girl with wings come along and the monster girl. She watched the monster dissolve and stepped over the spot as a precautionary measure. "Okay. I'm coming. I just don't see the need for rushing. There isn't anything wrong with us." She glanced away at the half lie then shrugged stepping into the car.

"I just don't like the term mutant. Were more like special kids." She winked and leaned back in the seat looking out the window to the ruined cafe. She had felt the fear but yet hadn't exactly reacted. She had to wonder if she had been born with a disorder to respond exactly the opposite to a situation rather than what she actually felt. Did that make sense? She chuckled as her mind automatically said no. "Nothing makes sense anymore."
