Name: Ixian IWEMAP Rixy.

Nicknames: Ixy, Subject Thirteen

Intelligent
WEapons
MAterialization
Platform

History: Ixian was actually taken from an orphanage as a baby and utilized as a test subject to develop weapons using people with superpowers or other supernatural abilities. And it was not just the painful bad kind, but the dark ones too. The experiments involved Ixian being opened up again and again, as one of the "Core Subjects" in their attempts to implant more powers and abilities into him, to turn him into a weapon. Weapon, Weapon, Weapon. That was all Ixian was told, and it awakened a secret ability hidden to even the scientists.

Originally, the scientists had taken Ixian because of his unique ability known as "Adaptability", which made him genetically able to accept and utilize all foreign tissue. However, this new ability was only awakened thanks to the extreme trauma, and was formed by the thought he had at the time, which was "Create Weapons". He thought that, if he had one of these weapons the scientists ranted on about, he could escape and have freedom, live a life he wanted. And so, that was the ability he developed.

Ixian's new power caused a huge amount of damage as he escaped, and allowed him to cause the release of many other test subjects. What was surprising is that they all shared white hair and red eyes, and even their facial features were similar if not the same. ANd then, they soon learned. Ixian was actually a clone using implanted memories from the first subject, and he was subject thirteen. The youngest of the clones.

Outraged, the subjects wiped out the scientists, and then escaped into the world. They sort of keep in touch, but they often also lose track of each other. Supposedly, there is one brother however that is tracking all of them, because he was given a supernatural ability to do so.



What he can do:

Spirit Guardian Summon: Boo Boo

Ixian summons his Spirit Guardian, which appears as a silly and childlike white ghost doll thing. Boo Boo should not be estimated by his looks however, as it has cloth that can stay intact even if space itself is cut across it. Additionally, when it charges at someone, it coats itself in an unknown, uncalculated energy that increases damage and toughness further then its already high offensive and defensive ability. It also serves as Ixian's Shield, Playmate, and occasional partner in crime. It can fire beams of energy from its...hands...and eyes, and its mouth can let loose a shockwave attack. It can appear as large as a building, or as small as a hamster, depending on the energy Ixian feeds it. It seems to act like its own entity at times, but will always follow Ixian's orders. When Ixian needs to give it orders, that is. When Ixian calls it out, some of his blood is used, but it never seems to effect him. However, it does suddenly expand like crazy to form the summoning gate. Additionally, sometimes Ixian uses this method to call out large scale weapons.

Weapon Creation:

Ixian is capable of making any weapon possible, materializing it in the real world to fight. This includes magic, although he has not totally mastered that yet. He can also create shields, and other objects to some degree, but his ability decreases significantly the farther it gets from weaponry. For some reason, money and food are entirely impossible, possibly because they are grown (technically, the material used to make money does grow so....but coins, while possible, tax him. Also, the codes would be blatantly fake). He can also freely controls the weapons he creates, and can even make them float, fly, follow, and target whatever he wants. Note that this ability does take some bit of his energy pool, which is an energy currently unquantified.

Song of Swords:

Ixian can summon forth not just one sword, but many. Although he can create any weapon, he seems to have a strong affinity for summoning swords. Among all the weapons, Swords are his strongest to the point that they never seem to break. They can be used as his defense as well as offense, and are capable of annihilating anything that gets in his way. He can keep track of more swords then any other weapon as well, and it should be considered something of a signature, like Boo Boo.

Flight:

Ixian can also use that unquantified energy pool to fly in the sky freely without wings. However, it takes some time to build up the energy to fly, so it wont necessarily stop him from falling to death.

High Velocity Barrier:

Objects that travel at a high enough velocity cannot harm Ixian, as it will be stopped by his barrier. These objects include bullets, orbital cannons, ship weapon fire in general, and most modern weapons. Even crossbows would not work. However, certain energy based attacks, melee weapons, and a number of vehicles can still move slow enough while being able to deal fatal damage to Ixian.

Full Control:

Ixian is able to take control of any machine or construct by touching it. However, the length of which he touches it determines the length it can be controlled. For every second he is touching it, he can control it for ten seconds after releasing it. He can also do this to people, but they might be able to overcome it with willpower. However, if their minds had broken in the past for whatever reason, they would become much more vulnerable.

Regenerative Abilities:

Ixian will always regenerate wounds, and it is unclear if he is capable of aging anymore. Neither him nor his brothers had grown an inch after their escape, though some of his brothers were blessed with being older. It is currently believed that the scientists had been giving them some sort of drug to make them grow, and without it they will stay this age.

Adaptability:

Ixian's body is capable of utilizing and absorbing all foreign tissue without issue, regardless of the source. It may also hold other effects, but this was the main one utilized.

  1. Made a double post for some reason...

"Yeah! Let's do thi..."

"Ehhh?! Why are you here Rivyan?!"

Suddenly, someone strange emerged from the crowd of people as Ixian gave an exclamation. This boy looked quite a bit older then Ixian, but otherwise looked so identical to him people figured they had to be brothers. He had white hair, red eyes, and a barcode marked on his cheek under his left eye, just like Ixian. However...

"Oh, I am not here technically. This is a clone of myself that I sent. After all...even though I had work to do, I didn't want to miss out on this or let it be too easy for you guys".

It appeared that although he was not actually here, Ixian's brother had sent a clone to make things difficult. The other two looked like "normal" Astrius Academy students, but this...this was clearly the final boss of the dodgeball game for Atrix, Meeko, and Hayden, plus Ixian who was rooting for them, and not his brother, from the sidelines.

"You can do it! Wipe the smug smile off his face!"

"You still holding that grudge Ixian?"

"How could you use your own brother as a stepping stool like that?! Even if it was for the escape!?"

"It was the most effective method. Now..."

Suddenly, all of the dodgeballs on his side began to float up into the air. For the record, there was a spell cast that would prevent the team with messing with any dodgeballs on the other side of the field. And with that, he then sent them rapid fire and windbreaking speeds right at them. Atrix managed to dodge one, but then another came right for his face. He managed to block that with a shadow tendril, however....a third dodgeball appeared that was thrown by one of the other two students and Atrix got hit right in the waist with incredibly force. It litterally knocked Atrix out of his shoes and socks and sent him rolling backwards, but before he was knocked out of grounds he managed to dig his heels into the dirt and stop himself. His clothes looked messy, and he got all dirty again though.

But more importantly, he was holding the ball that hit him with both hands, which meant that the student who threw it was out!

Atrix quickly darted over by Meeko to try and assume a defensive role against the clone, and shot some of his mana into Hayden's weapons to temporarily power them up. "I will defend! Meeko, recover! Hayden, attack! This will be our last stand! Lets do this!"

Atrix said that as he poured mana into his body. In addition, a benefit happened from having his shoes and socks knocked off just now. Since Atrix was barefoot, he could absorb mana from the ground much more easily and pour it into himself. Atrix then constructed several Astral Constructs, weapons and shields made of energy but also given physical form, that would defend them from this silly attack. He was clearly going all out.

With the excessive mana that Atrix was supplying him, Hayden's techno-mancy went into hyper drive. His eyes began to glow bright blue and all the weapons on the field left by the other tech geeks began to float in the air and were all drawn to Hayden. He took control of all of them. He soon had a whole barrier of weapons lined up along the front lines. He hooked them all together to one hopper that supplied balls to all the weapons.

Meeko was drastically grabbing and dodging as many balls as he could. The last person on the other side, aside from Ixian's brother, threw a ball as Meeko was bent over to pick up another one. The ball hit him right in the ass and sent him tumbling about a hundred yards. Meeko heard the boy celebrating, thinking he had taken Meeko out of the game, but it was soon clear that Meeko had manged to catch the ball with his tail as he held up the ball with it while he was lying face down in the dirt.

The ref called the thrower out and Meeko got back up and soon filled the giant hopper with balls.

"Atrix, dome us." He said so that Atrix would put a shield dome around the three of them now that the hopper was full. He knew that Ixian's brother would likely have a shield around him too, but Meeko had a plan. Meeko could project his intangibility field onto a spot on the energy shield. He focused it on the boy's head.

"Aim for his head, I have my intangibility field projected there, the balls will go through any shield he may be using and knock him out."
Hayden nodded and aimed all the weapons at the boy's head and fired.

And so as the plan was enacted and Meeko and Hayden worked together, Atrix continued to defend against the onslaught of dodgeballs. In fact, he questioned just how many dodgeballs had been provided, because it seemed like there were hundreds! Wasn't this epic dodgeball game a little too epic?!

"Guys! He is really putting on the pressure! I don't know how much longer!"

Atrix yelled that. Even if he was exceptional with magic, and had this new power, Rivyan's abilities seemed almost cheat like. He was pounding them heavily to the point that Atrix could barely keep up.

But as this happened, it appeared Hayden and Meeko had managed to set something up, and managed to penetrate Rivyan's defenses with some of the dodgeballs! Surprised by this, Rivyan was caught off guard. However, he was still able to dodge and...

"Thats it! Rivyan's clone is out! The winners are the left side with two people remaining!"

He thought he dodged them all, but by some manner of luck, one of the dodgeballs Hayden fired knocked into another dodgeball, and changed directions mid air and hit Rivyan on the back. This secured their victory.

"Yay! We did it!"

"Nice one you three! Though, sorry about the end there Atrix. Given the magic power he was using, that probably hurt".

Indeed, if Meeko and Hayden were to look over, it appeared taht Rivyan had sent balls on an alternate angle to take them out first. Atrix had blocked the first two with magic, but had to intercept the last one himself and was taken out at the same time as Rivyan.

"One more second, and it would have been three winners" Atrix said with a shrug. He rubbed his upper leg though, since it was where he recived the direct blow. "No matter, its fine its fine".

Atrix said that like his usual fines.

Meeko and Hayden both grabbed Atrix and Ixian and started hugging them, jumping up and down celebrating. However, as they celebrated, it suddenly dawned on Meeko that he had no idea what the reward was for winning.

"Hey guys, what exactly did we win?" Meeko asked with a curious yet cautious look on his face. Hayden's face contorted into one of confusion as well as he stopped to think.

"You know, I don't think I heard anyone say anything about what we'd win." It then seemed to put a damper on the mood that they may have done all of this for nothing more than bragging rights, but that wasn't to say that bragging rights weren't something they all needed. They were pretty much a group of social misfits and this win would be a boost to their popularity. Then Meeko remembered that later there was going to be a game of truth or dare which he was not too familiar with, but given the name could mean a lot of embarrassment for him.

Atrix and Ixian were both suddenly grabbed, hugged, and shaked up and down as they celebrated. Atrix also felt really happy too, although the boy in question was currently unable to move due to being grappled by Meeko. Personally, Atrix wanted to escape before Meeko said something dangerous, like he needed another bath. And given the level of dirt on him, he probably did...but, Atrix would use the defense of "being a boy so its okay to be dirty" and hope for the best. He just hoped that it was not so bad that Meeko decided to help and take him to the river.

However, that concern was sort of sidetracked when Meeko asked about what they won. The moment that was said, Atrix looked away attempting to feign ignorance, though given his poor acting skills it probably had the opposite effect. However, the one who then spoke up was Ixian.

"If I recall correctly, all the members of the winning team could get extra food, as much as they wanted, from the cafeteria and would be able to be excused from monday's classes next week after we get back. At least, that was scrawled in Atrix's notepad that I saw on the desk near the bed, along with 'sneak off and spend day working on newest version of Warp Gate in lab' and 'prepare extra food for all night...who would work all night though? That sounds silly".

As Ixian said that, Atrix paled a little. It was pretty obvious most of those benefits were in his own interest, and some of them seemed quite dangerous to allow Atrix...well, Atrix was a workaholic.

"Now Meeko, don't overreact now okay? All night was just an expression, I didn't mean that litterally....and of course, I meant I would take breaks! I promised right? Heh?"

Again, Atrix had poor acting skills.

"Please don't get mad and punish me..."

Meeko narrowed his eyes in a scowl and then a devious idea came to mind and his smile looked like that of a predator that had just cornered his prey.

"Of course. You're not going to spend all day working on your warp gate, because Hayden here is going to help you with it. Given his powers you two should be able to figure it out in a couple hours or so. You don't mind helping him with that do ya?"

"No, not at all, I love tech stuff like that and I've been looking for a challenge lately. If it keeps him out of trouble that's a plus too." Hayden grinned as he figured out what Meeko was doing.

"Good, then after you guys are finished with that, you and I are going to spend the rest of the day doing all sorts of fun stuff to tire your little hyperactive ass out so you'll be too damn tired to stay up late. I will also keep up the arrangement we have in the tent to keep you from running off at night when we get back to the dorm too. That isn't good for you and I'm not gonna have you working yourself to death." Meeko scolded. He felt like a parent right now and he didn't like being the bad guy.

"Look I know it seems like I'm angry, but I'm just worried about you. You're the closest thing I have to family here and I... I care about you. I know you think you're handling it okay, but over working yourself like this is going to take a toll on you soon if you keep it up and, at this school, it's highly likely that it'll happen while you're doing something dangerous." He then leaned in and gave him a big hug that lifted him up off the ground.

"As for the extra food, was there any fine print on the contest rules? Seems like there would an Atrix clause in there somewhere. As for your punishment for hiding this from me, you aren't going to get a shower tonight I'm gonna take you down to the river and you're gonna get your bath there."

"Wha...wait a minute! Don't you think thats a bit much! I mean...I mean...I think this is extremely unneccessary! I can wash myself! And...and..." Atrix pleaded as he tried to squirm out of Meeko's hug, his feet kicking the air as he tried to escape. He looked like he was extremely desperate and getting even more embarrassed. Oddly enough, it was less bathing in the river that embarrassed him, and more being bathed by someone else. That was because in the culture of his tribe, the more independent one was the better they were seen. Of course, there was a limit to that, and it was not like they looked down on people who were dependent on others, but still.

"And...and...Ixian is dirtier then me! So he needs it more!"

Ixian meanwhile pouted.

"I didn't do anything bad though! Dont drag me into this!"

"You read my journal without permission!"

Incidentally, although it was a totally different wrongdoing then what Atrix was doing, Ixian had looked at his personal belongings without permission. And also...

"Be...besides Meeko! My body needs less sleep then you normally! You can't apply normal standards to me! And there is so much to learn and experiment! It would be bad if I feel behind the other students! Not to mention coffee really does work wonders as well!"

Atrix also muttered some random stuff in his defense, and occasionally shot Hayden glances pleading for help while he tried to squirm his way out of Meeko's arms.

"First of all, I'm not the one that's gonna be washing you, I'm just gonna be there to make sure you don't try to skip out on washing yourself." Meeko said as he set Atrix down.

"As for you mister," he said looking at Ixian. "You were snooping in someone's private stuff and you also got pretty dirty, so you'll be getting a bath in the river too." He said looking sternly at Ixian.

"Look, Atrix, I know your body doesn't need a lot of sleep like some people, but it's not good for your mind to be constantly pushing yourself to your limits. Your mind works better when you give it a break every now and then. You need to get sleep if you want your mind to function correctly. Sleep deprivation can cause people to go crazy. Please do this, not for me, but for you. You'll think clearer and your mind will be sharper." Meeko told him. It was clear he cared about Atrix, he was becoming the little brother he never had and he actually kinda liked it.

"Wha...what?! Don't get me pulled into this! Hayden, protect me!" Ixian declared as he hid behind Hayden. Indeed, just like Atrix who got tumbled through the dirt at the end there, Ixian was also very dirty. However, neither of the two particularly minded it. What they did mind however was the idea of being watched while bathing by someone who was fully clothed. "If...if you make us do this...then...then....you gotta do it first! Or at least go in with us! To prove its safe!"

"Or...or...you know...we could just not do it at all! I mean, I am perfectly fine doing stuff! I can be responsible! And on those earlier points...I don't want to wake you up while you are in the middle of sleeping, so I should just leave you be and such!"

As such, Atrix and Ixian attempted to defend some of their dignity, even if Atrix's was near non-existant to start with.

And then, suddenly, they were called to the next activity....the Tree Climbing Activity!

"Oh look! Next activity time!" Atrix said, hoping to distract Meeko and make him forget.

Meeko's devilish grin got bigger as he gave Hayden a subtle nod.

"Oh, you won't be going in alone, I know better than that. I'm the one that'd gonna scrub your back and all the places you can't reach."

"Sounds like you might be in over your head there, kiddo, I'll come with and help you guys out."

Then the next event, tree climbing, was announced.

"Oh sweet, I got the edge on this one." He smiled as he lifted his hands and retracted his claws.

"Wait wait! Hold on though! I thought you just said you wouldn't bathe us!" Atrix said as he turned all red. This was understandable though. Although Atrix was rather fast, and could climb rather well, he wasn't really strong or flexible and used his mind more. Because of that, there was a good amount of his body he was unable to reach, and Meeko knew it because Atrix confided things to Meeko.

He also looked at Meeko and saw the devilish grin. "Wait...you...you are not lying right now right? You only plan to wash where I cant reach? And...and...you don't need to Hayden!"

"Wait...Hayden has tech...your not planning to make an embarassing home video right?" Ixian also asked, questioning Hayden while nervous. Of course, neither Atrix or Ixian expected, or at least they hoped they wouldn't, spread any embarrassing photos or videos of them from this. But that did not mean they might not do it to poke fun at them.

And soon after he asked that, them and the other campers were directed towards the Tree Climbing Event. Only, it was not normal tree climbing. The trees would be trying to hit and knock you off as you climbed. And also...

"To Ixian and whoever else this represents, no flying!"

"Awww".

"You have to climb with your own hands and feet! You cant use magic tendrils or whatever to let you keep hold, though using magic to enhance your own body, or using claws, or such is allowed! Oh, no jetpacks or hover tech either, and no teleporting. You gotta climb it properly and naturally, is what we are saying".

Meeko realized he was sending mixed signals about being in the water.

"Well I wasn't going to be in there originally, but you aren't giving me much choice since you're complaining so much. I gotta make sure you get clean." He said before the tree climbing was announced and the rules were gone over.

All of the students went to their trees and got ready. The tree creatures were huge. The teacher lifted a starter pistol and fired it into the air. Meeko was sure he had this contest in the bag until he saw Hayden morph his hands into metal claws that looked dangerous. Meeko knew he was going to have to step his game up. As everyone took to their trees, Meeko used both his hand and feet claws to start running up the tree. It didn't take long before the branches were swinging at the people climbing them. and both he and Hayden got knocked off of their trees.

"I got it!" Meeko said when he was hit with a great idea to win. He started to produce a fast-acting herbicide from his claws and as he climbed he injected his poison and killed the creature as he did so it didn't fight him. He was now able to climb with no distractions and would make it to the top in no time.

"What normal person wouldn't complain?!" Atrix protested, forgetting entirely he was not normal in the slightest. In fact, out of all of them, Hayden was probably the only one who could classify himself as "normal". So in essence, Atrix's protest was entirely unfounded and irrelivent. "And it was Ixian who said that in the first place, not me!"

Once the contest started, neither Atrix nor Ixian could make the same progress as Meeko was able to. Indeed, when the branches started swinging, Ixian soon found himself knocked up and landed near Meeko, getting even dirtier. Atrix however, he had two things going for him in regards to this challenge. First of all, he was used to climbing trees. Atrix had gathered up his shoes and socks, but not put them all. This let his bare feet grip the holds, and hold on better.

The second was that he was used to getting bullied, and his vitality was insanely high due to the Demon King Blood in his system that had awakened. In other words, even though his climbing speed was not as fast as Meeko's, his grip and endurance were top notch and he was not knocked off once. But, his pace was a bit slower.

Still, he was better off then a few others. However, it did not take long for Meeko to reach Atrix's level once more.

Meeko saw how close Atrix was getting to the top and he kicked up his speed. He looked like he was running vertically up the side of the tree and even went intangible as he ran face-first through some of the branches. It wasn't long before he made it to the top of his dead tree monster.

"I did it! Wooo I made it first!" He started cheering just seconds before Atrix made it.

"Aww, I was so close" Atrix pouted as he lost to Meeko. He was amazed he had managed to endure being hit so much, and managed to get to the top. "Well, the reward for second place is still good, and Meeko got first place so its fine".

He said that as he climbed down, which invited giggling and looks from Ixian. "Oh wow...you got really dirty now!"

"Y...you are one to talk! Besides, we are camping! Of course we would get dirty! Anyways, the rewards are pretty good! The winner gets him and his roommate spending money for the Oka Island Field Trip, and second place is a grant of research money to you or someone of your choice! With this, I can get a lot more materials for my work!"

Ixian just looked at Atrix, and then turned to Meeko.

"You are right....just, how much of a workaholic is he exactly?!"

"Nevermind that! Its lunch time! Lets go eat!"

Atrix, with a very quick and powerful subtle topic change in hopes that Meeko forgot the punishment all together, tried to push everyone to go and have lunch.

Meeko took note of the prizes and knew that he had made the right choice in continuing to keep Atrix in his bed at night.

"Well he's very focused on his work, but I think Hayden is going be a good influence and a big help on some of that. He can give him some outside perspective and still understand all that technical stuff." Meeko replied to Ixian.

The four of them went back to the main camp to eat. Everyone was given an hour break for lunch before the next round of activities began. Meeko was surprised by how many people were congratulating him on the tree climbing victory and the whole team on the dodge ball victory. He honestly expected more animosity or sore losers making nasty comments, but it seemed like the fresh air was putting everything in a good mood. Meeko decided to go for the easy route for lunch and put a couple of hot dogs on a stick and roasted them over the fire. He figured the unlimited food would be dispersed later in the trip. He then fixed the buns for the hot dogs and put them on after.

"So I was thinking Hayden and I would take you down to the river and give you guys a bath." He gave a devilish grin

"I see I see. Its just, his journal was filled with all sorts of notes as well. Like, notes on a homonculus of himself he was trying to make for whatever reason. Or, some new type of golems that had internet access. Or, the creation of a Sword that can hack any computer it gets stabbed into. Some really cool ideas in there, really".

As Ixian explained some more things that he saw in Atrix's journal, he mentioned his impression about how he seemed almost feverant in his research and work. One might think that this was Atrix coping with the loss of his clan, however...

"And based on the dates on some of his notes, its been going on for at least three years".

Ixian also indicated he read enough of Atrix's journal to see this. It might make one question just how much he did read.

And as they were eating, Meeko had a devilish grin on his face as he brought something up.

"Wait, n...now?! You know, its okay to be dirty when at camp right? Meeko, don't you think you are keeping up this joke a bit too much now?" Atrix said, knowing full well the chance of this being a joke, or that Meeko would change his mind, was very low. "Y...you now, now that I think about it, I should work on a new magic formula, so you all should go on without me!"

Meeko chuckled. He was actually playing a prank on Atrix. It was fun to watch him squirm.

"Actually, I meant before dinner, so don't think you're getting out of it with your science stuff." Meeko laughed at the way Atrix was trying to get out of his punishment.

He watched in awe as it seemed to be the first time Atrix had stopped eating while at the table. Was the thought of a bath really that bad for him?

"You know, I don't plan on doing this in front of everyone, so nobody is going to see it. The punishment is how cold the water is." He reassured Atrix. He really didn't even want to punish him, he just wanted to get his point across that he needed to slow down and get more rest for his own health.

It did seem odd to Meeko that Ixian was able to read that much of Atrix's journal, but he just assumed that he had a photographic memory.

As Atrix seemed to panic, it was not just Meeko that was curious as to why. Ixian was also generally getting curious, and he thought Hayden might as well.

"Boo Boo!"

Suddenly, in front of them all, a small ghost puppet like thing appeared in front of them. It kind of looked like a Children's toy, but those around it (AKA those four) would be capable of sensing a large amount of power from it, and if their senses were acute, they might even be able to recognize it as Spiritual Power.

As for Atrix, due to the Demon King's Blood, he actually was good enough to tell that before it awoke, but after it, his senses were more precise. Plus thanks to his research, he realized what it was instantly.

"A Spirit Guardian?!"

"Huh, you guessed it rather quickly. That's right, its my Spirit Guardian, Boo Boo. Boo Boo can do a lot of things I cant, including communicating and reading directly into people's souls. Now, Boo Boo! Read the soul!"

"Huh...wait, hold on! Please do....hahaha...what the....hahahaha!"

"Oh yeah, I forgot to warn you that it was ticklish".

Suddenly, Boo Boo extended several lines of white cloth and they stabbed right through Atrix's chest, though it did not appear to hurt at all. However, it did appear to be very ticklish as Atrix collapsed to the ground laughing. Incidentally, this was in a way exactly the same thing as reading Atrix's journal, only probably worse, but Ixian lacked the understanding to know that. However, after Boo Boo made a bunch of squeeks and arm movements that were entirely non-sensical to Ixian...he gave Atrix and cold stare.

"...Meeko, you should change that punishment. You should make him bathe in the river for the entire rest of the camping trip, and do it when you get back home as well in the bath or shower. You should personally wash his whole body for extra measure. Not just that, but you should cling to him really tight when you sleep. I don't care if I have to do it as well, its worth it".

Atrix heard that and quickly went on his knees.

"Wait wait! Ixian! Thats unfair, I didn't mean any of that! And please, please! Take it back! Reading a soul..."

"Is more accurate then reading a journal" Ixian said, and then he turned to Meeko. "Don't listen to his pleas, lets go do it now before the next activity. Actually, I dont really understand clothing all too much yet...but can you keep him like that?"

It seemed whatever Ixian saw was a serious issue. He didn't say anything...yet, but then he started to.

"In addition to learning what he had thought about doing to me before I got to know him better, I learned that although his words and actions might not have suggested it, maybe he himself didn't know, but Atrix actually got a bit jealous. You became a brother figure to him, so me coming in, he looked at me like a little brother that would compete with him. Furthermore, he got embarrassed because he wants to be seen as someone great by you. He treated me well because he also sympathized with me and is usually a nice person, but...he also could have alerted me to that dodgeball. Though part of this is unconscious and he was not aware of it. But thats just the tip of the iceberg..."

Ixian then proceeded to explain some other, darker things. Well, dark was a relative term, but that was besides the point. Atrix tried to stop him, but was restrained by Boo Boo. Although nothing was really terrible...it seemed that Atrix had been hiding the fact he was having more nightmares then he let on, and had been a bit childish. Atrix didn't want Meeko to do this because he wanted Meeko to praise him, not call him cute and adorable, even though Meeko always tell him to accept it according to Ixian Atrix was not good at listening, another major reason why Ixian said Meeko should go all out to make him listen. It was probably refreshing, since Atrix didn't always act like a child his age, but also...well, some of it was concerning. Like, how he considered hurting all the bullies who tried to do bad things to Meeko just for being his friend. Or that, Atrix wanted to look cool in front of Meeko, and thought if Meeko bathed him that he would be considered less cool, or that Meeko might even find him bothersome and leave. Basically, Atrix was being extremely silly and unreasonable, so much so that even Ixian knew it was abnormal...and a bit stupid at least...and told Meeko to go all out.

That said, what Ixian did himself was not good, but it seemed he was aware of it and did it anyways because he thought it was a bit ridiculous. He also pointed out that naked bonding time might help them, but that was not all. At the end, he leaned towards Meeko and whispered into his ear.

"...and finally, it will help you keep an eye on him. There is something really dark, hiding inside his soul...you need to keep a careful watch on him, But, do not let him convince you he does not need help...because his soul was crying...I know it was probably wrong of me to do that though. I will accept my punishment, but you should punish him now. And repeatedly. So that he finally learns you wont leave him for such stupid reasons he fears. Besides, in a way, he also wants you to do it so that he knows you don't plan on leaving him...are people normally as complicated as him?"

Meeko was a bit overwhelmed by all the information he was just given. He sat there in silence for a few minutes trying to process everything that he just learned.

"Atrix, come with me." He said and took his hand. "You two stay here for now, we need to go have a little talk."

Meeko took Atrix out into the forest, away from everyone else, and then stopped when they were far enough away that no one would hear them.

"I know that what Ixian said was true. I know he shouldn't have done that and revealed all that stuff about you.However we can't just go on like I didn't hear it either. You're hiding things from me and there's no reason too. You're the coolest kid I know and nothing like nightmares or typical little brother stuff is going to make me think you're any less cool. I may have gone a bit overboard in the bathing punishment, but it was because you were hiding the stuff. Now I find out that you're hiding even more stuff, but I know punishing you isn't the answer here. You're having more nightmares, you stay up working on projects because not only are you afraid of falling behind in your work, but also afraid of falling asleep too. Ixian said your soul is crying and there was something dark inside you. I want to help you, but I don't know exactly what is wrong and I can't help you if you don't talk to me. I know enough about you to have a basic idea as to what's going on, but here's what I need you to do. I need you to tell me about your people and I need you to tell me all you remember about what happened to them. I think you're repressing something about that and that may be causing your nightmares. If we can figure that out we might be able get you passed all of this." He said. His tone was both serious and concerned.
