Large facility in the middle of the desert

Firvin is a bit taken aback by Shard's nerve shifting in the lobby, but he doesn't let it show.
"Ok boy's enough showing off. Sierra commanded of them, to which Firvin only smiled and nodded, before Sierra turned to Silas asking "Your you right? not Bane?".

"Of course it's him, Bane doesn't draw like that. What ya working on over there buddy? Also you haven't ordered anything yet, what do you want, it's on me." Firvin says while putting an arm around Silas in a quick hug, trying to cheer the boy up.
Before Silas could respond Firvin whispers something to Revion, and Revion slithers off his shoulders and out of site.

'I know just checking, Bane could be playing a trick on us. remember the last time?' Sierra shivers again. 'No the drinks are on me. I don't have to pay.' She reminds them. Sierra spots Revion but he slithers away again. 'Whats Revion doing?' she says turning to Firvin.

Ouka was brought into the facility in a cage. She was in her wolf form with a muzzle on while dirt covered her white fur. They had taken her from her home in the forest to a place like this. She did put up a fight and that's why the muzzle. They opened her cage and quickly left the facility. Ouka looked around in dismay, it looked like paradise but it could never compare to her grand forest. She growled as the guards left without taking off the stupid muzzle.

Sierra saw the Wolf being dragged in and forgot about her group. rushing over she takes off the muzzle. 'You must be Ouka' Sierra says waiting for her to shift to human form. 'Now those guards are really gonna pay.' she says fuming with anger. she walks to the door the guards dissapeared through. Her body was shaking ferociously and counting to ten wasnt helping. shedding her human form she partialy opens her wings. she draws her sword ready to get revenge for the poor wolf. No-one should be treated like that. she also needed the paper work. turning back to the matter at hand Sierra could feel the heat radiating off her body. she continued to pound on the door to the break room. she got ready to kick it down.

Timber could feel something wrong, she made her excuses to Daine and Asher and ran back to the lobby full speed. When she got there she knew she was just in time. Sierra's usuals; Silas and Firvin where there. there was also a new person and a wolf on the floor. she turned to Sierra who was ready to break the door down. even though Timber had seen Sierra in this form many times the beauty shocked her. Taking control of the situation she ran to Sierra and grabbed a wing pulling her back far enough For Timber to stand in front o the door. someone standing in front of Sierra was usualy enough to stop her but today she wasnt detered. 'Someone detain her!' Timber called as Sierra swung her sword at Timber.

Firvin witnessed the caged wolf enter, and was a little thankful, because now he doesn't have to lie about Revion's whereabouts. But when Sierra started to get really upset Firvin got nervous, He covered Silas so he didn't have to witness this happen. "And to think she was worried about you..." Firvin muttered.

Timber jumped back a Derek growl escaping her lips "Firvin come detain her before I end up on the end of the sword." Timber was also hoping that Bane wouldn't make an appearance that didn't go too well last time.

Without the muzzle on, Ouka shifted into her human form. She watched as the woman who took the muzzle off, flew into a rampage. Literally. She watched in amazement as she had wings. "I'm alright." Ouka said hoping to ease the tension.

Asher wondered why Timber left so hastily, and followed her, with Daine close behind. When he got to where Timber was, he sighed. "Really? Demons?" Asher muttered, forming icicles in his right hand. "Demon! Calm down!" Asher commanded. Usually he'd say something like "DIE!" but today was different. He wasn't going to kill someone... yet... Especially a demon. Every breath Asher took showed, as if the temperature dropped near him. His icy blue eyes glowed with intimidation.

Daine was shocked to see the demon, and nearly drew his gunblade when Asher started to make the icicles in his hands. As much as Daine wanted to join in, he also wanted to see how this goes. He crossed his arms, but one of his hands was near the hilt of his gun-blade, Devil's Eye Blade.

Firvin told Silas to "keep calm and focus on drawing" as he ran over to Sierra and grabbed her from behind. "CALM DOWN SIERRA! Look she has the muzzle off, she's turned back. Everything his fine! Timber will take care of the guards later, but you need to relax or else you'll be the one in trouble!" Firvin exclaimed hoping it worked. He looked back over to Silas hoping everything was fine, he knew how much the kid hated violence.

Sierra calmed down a little and put away her sword but she still had anger to burn, she ran outside and snapped open her wings lifting off the ground she felt a bit better. She flew to the Aviary and pulled out her pass. She landed and put her pass in the card slot, it beeped and the door opened. she walked in and sat on the bench, she may not look it but she was only 13 she had alot to deal with.

Timber sighed and turned to Firvin, 'Thanks, that helped a lot.' she said and she meant it. Then she turned to Ouka, 'Are you ok?' she wondered quickly scanning the girl for injuries. when she finds none she stands up and offer's her a hand. 'Now lets find a room from you.' she say happily, trying to draw attention away from the now nonexistant Sierra. Timber kind of felt sorry for Sierra, she died young and now she's in this place, Timber wasnt much older and even she found this place daunting. The only thing she could do was clutch the charm Riley, her witch friend gave her and hoped it would bring her courage.

"Of course it's him, Bane doesn't draw like that. What ya working on over there buddy? Also you haven't ordered anything yet, what do you want, it's on me." Firvin says while putting an arm around Silas in a quick hug, trying to cheer the boy up. The overall effect on Silas, though the Firvin's intentions were kind, was uncomfortable. He shied away from Firvin, ever so slightly, almost not even noticeably. Before Silas could respond that he'd like a soda, Firvin whispers something to Revion, and Revion slithers off his shoulders and out of site.

"I know just checking, Bane could be playing a trick on us. remember the last time?" Sierra said and shivered at the thought. Silas, hung his head a little, he remembered last time vaguely. The only thing he remembered about last time was that a whole wing of the facility had to be remade. "No the drinks are on me. I don't have to pay." She reminds them. Silas smiled, Sierra was nice.

Silas looked up. Someone new had come into the facility. A werewolf from the look of it, all chained and muzzled. It was horrible. The poor thing must be terrified, all locked up like that. That's when all hell broke loose. Sierra went on a rampage, attempting to kill the guards who brought in the wolf. Firvin left the bar, flying after her as fast as he could, telling Silas to, "Just keep calm and focus on drawing." before going off to help Miss Timber detain Sierra who looked like she was about to slice something to ribbons. Firvin was right, Sierra thought HE was the one who was going to be all worked up. Still, Silas got up. He hated to see Sierra so upset. He jogged over to where she was, trying to get a hold on her to calm her down, but she was struggling too fiercely. In the struggle, Firvin accidentally smacked him right in the nose and knocked Silas to the ground, giving him a nose bleed and setting his eyes watering. Eventually, Sierra took to the Aviary, attempting to blow off steam, and the new werewolf was standing in her human form, de-muzzled. However, Silas hadn't noticed any of that. He was still sitting on his butt, trying not to cry. He knew Firvin didn't mean to hit him, he knew Firvin would never, but still. He hit him right on the nose. That had really hurt.

"Oh dear gods. Really?" The world froze. Bane materialized in front of him, like a wisp of smoke suddenly growing corporeal from nothing. "A bonk on the nose. That's gonna make you cry? Puh-lease... Alrighty, it's been a while, but hand us over, it's time to play." "No..." Silas said, barely even a whisper. "No, I won't let you." Silas said, still extremely quietly. "Well, I asked nicely, I'm taking it now!" Bane roared, diving at Silas, his body turning to smoke before it hit him. At that moment, the world shuddered around him. It was him. It was Bane. He was taking over. A thick, bloody red and black aura slowly enveloped Silas. The aura twisted and writhed, as if it had a mind of it's own. Silas felt his eyes roll back into his head. The world faded from him and he fell the rest of the way to the floor. After only a brief moment, Bane's eyes snapped open, golden and not the slightest bit comforting. The world slowly sped up and everyone else turned to look at him. Standing up and brushing himself off, Bane smiled his twisted evil smirk, his slightly longer canines showing. "Well hello there." Bane said, his voice slightly deeper than Silas's, he also sounded more cultured, but there was a rasp to his speech. "So nice to see you all again." Bane said, still smirking evilly. "It's been a while, hasn't it? Timber, Firvin, I'm so sorry, but little Silas won't be coming back for a little while. He wants to let you know that he's very sorry for letting you down, but apparently I'm too strong. Poor baby... Well, I'm off, I have dreams to smash, people to fight, and then, when I'm all done I have to bask in my own glory. I've got a long and busy schedule, so if you don't mind, ta ta!" Bane said, twirling and sauntering off, still grinning evilly.

Timber stood in front of Bane. 'Bane you aren't going anywhere' she commands standing in his path. 'Let Silas out now.' she growls looking him in the eyes.

"I'm sorry Miss Timber," Bane said, mocking her by mimicking Silas's voice, "I can't come play right now. I'm busy whining and crying and being undeserving of this powerful body." Bane spat, his real voice coming out in the end. "That little whelp gets to live with this. He needs to grow up. He needs to feel true despair if I'm ever going to be able to do anything with him. And you,". Bane said, words full of venom, "If you think your bitty ickle charade of bravery and authority is going to phaze me, you've got another thing coming. However, I guess if you really wanted my attention, you got it. Congratulations, you now have my full attention!" Bane said, fake happiness and sarcasm dripping from his everyword. "I suppose that also means that since you have my attention, you won't mind putting up with the consequences. It's actually not a bad idea. We've a score to settle, and Silas needs tutoring. If trashing the place and trouncing some talentless hacks like you is what it takes to get Silas to man up, so be it. Don't go crying when your strength runs out, and my jaws are closing around your neck." Bane howled at Timber as he molded part of his aura into wings, taking to the sky. Finally, after a moment of observing, he dove at her, his hands like claws, aimed for her throat. He would strangle the life out her, and enjoy every second of it.

Ouka took this persons hand. "Thanks." She tried not to look sad. It was hard on her coming to a place that was not so open. She never hurt anybody in her forest. Well except brats who defiled it by chopping down trees and littering. She'd give them a scare but that was the extent of her doings. Sort of. She didn't want to remember that day.

She smiled until, all of a sudden, all of the hair on the back of her neck stood on end. Where is this evil feeling coming from? Ouka turned and saw a child. It couldn't be from him? She showed her fangs and poised to attack. She then saw him dive, at an incredible height, for the woman who was helping her. Ouka did the only thing she could do, she created an ice wall and pulled Timber out of the way. "I don't think that'll stop him.." She stated "My magic is not too strong."

While struggling with Sierra, Firvin's arm went flying and hit Silas on the nose, he hadn't even noticed the kid was there until it happened. Sierra put her sword away and flew off. At least she's not gonna kill anyone, I'll leave her be for now. 'Thanks, that helped a lot.' Timber said to Firvin. Then she turned to Ouka, 'Are you ok?. Firvin ignored Timber's words, focusing on Silas, who was still on the ground with tears in his eyes. Oh god, I hope he's alright Firvin thought to himself knowing that Silas wouldn't be here for long. As soon as Firvin thought this, a black aura began to engulf Silas, Silas was Silas no more.

"Well hello there.So nice to see you all again. It's been a while, hasn't it? Timber, Firvin, I'm so sorry, but little Silas won't be coming back for a little while. He wants to let you know that he's very sorry for letting you down, but apparently I'm too strong. Poor baby... Well, I'm off, I have dreams to smash, people to fight, and then, when I'm all done I have to bask in my own glory. I've got a long and busy schedule, so if you don't mind, ta ta!" Bane's little speech was unnerving for Firvin, as he knew there was nothing anyone could do to stop him. The only technique with Bane was to let him wear himself down and defend yourself. Before Firvin could say anything Timber stepped in front of Bane screaming "Bane you aren't going anywhere. Let Silas out now.". Firvin could only stand by thinking to himself Dammit Timber, you know that won't work... Bane responds to Timber's threat with great malice mocking the Silas he took over "I'm sorry Miss Timber, I can't come play right now. I'm busy whining and crying and being undeserving of this powerful body. That little whelp gets to live with this. He needs to grow up. He needs to feel true despair if I'm ever going to be able to do anything with him. And you, If you think your little charade of bravery and authority is going to phaze me, you've got another thing coming. However, I guess if you really wanted my attention, you got it. Congratulations, you now have my full attention! I suppose that also means that since you have my attention, you won't mind putting up with the consequences. It's actually not a bad idea. We've a score to settle, and Silas needs tutoring. If trashing the place and trouncing some talentless hacks like you is what it takes to get Silas to man up, so be it. Don't go crying when your strength runs out, and my jaws are closing around your neck." Bane jumped at Timber arms extended towards her throat. Firvin had to act quickly if he was to save his friend's life. He used his abilities to turn his skin into a thorn like armor, hard as a tree, he knew from past experience that with his hardened skin he could take a few hits from Bane before receiving any real damage. "TIMBER GET OUT OF HERE, YOU KNOW FIGHTING BACK DOESN'T WORK!" he dove at Bane, hoping to meet him midair before he could kill her.

Sierra rushed back feeling a wave of dark power. She reached the lobby as Bane dived for Timber. Sierra was more agile and she rushed to stand in front of Timber. She concentrated and built up a spirit barrier. Bane bounced off it. "Get him out of here"she said gesturing to Bane. "I can't hold this much longer.

Timber gasped as her friends all came to help her. She was even more surprised when Sierra flew in and built a barrier which saved her life. She growled disrespectfully at Bane and step forward. The pushed through Sierra and stood on top of Bane. "I think it will be the other way around"she growls. She shifts and in her place is a huge white tiger. Timber leans down and softly exhales in Banes face. She placed her two front paws on his arms.

Asher sheathed his sword when the demon went out the door. At least there weren't any... And then Bane showed up. injuries or anything chaotic... Asher sighed and unsheathed his sword. "God damn it..." Asher cursed. "One thing after another... Can't chaos give it a rest for a while?" He pointed his sword at the man surrounded by dark aura. "Calm down son... I don't want to hurt you... Nor do I want you to be hurt by them..." Asher said.

Daine stood up fully and brought out his gunblade when the man surrounded himself in dark aura and attacked the director of Facility X. He pointed it at the man on the floor, at the same time as Asher.

"Sorry sierra." shard mumbled brushing fur off his hoodie. "where can i shift then?" He said looking around the lobby. he rested his gaze on Firvin. "sorry if i scared you." he joked. He waved at Revion and smiled showing caines. Shard turnded to sierra. "Do i have a room or somethin?" he asked casually looking around swaying a bit.

shard whiped his head around as he heard a fight. He glanced at a white tiger. He wanted to help, join in, so badly, but he did not know is Sierra would get angry. He badly wanted to turn into a dragon, or wolf.

Just as Bane was about to smash through that flimsy barrier and end the lives of the pathetic creatures behind it, Sierra, or so Bane thought she was called, flew out of no where and landed in front of him, throwing up her hands as if to repel him. "You too, eh? Silas likes you, but to me, you're nothing!" Bane howled. However, he had miscalculated, the girl had thrown a barrier up in front of him, deflecting him from his course. He landed hard on the ground, Firvin the elf flying over the top of him and tumbling off to the side. Bane was just about to get up when Timber stood over him, "I think it will be the other way around." She shifted into a tiger and pinned him to the floor.

"Well, Miss Timber, this is a surprise. Never really pegged you for a cradle robber. I guess you never really know, huh?" Bane taunted, smirking devilishly. "However, you are wrong. It will be as I say, you see," Bane said, looking directly into the eyes of the great tiger, "Your strength is mine. Can't you feel it? Your will to fight with me fading? Your strength failing? That's this blackness. Just being near me is bad for your health. Let me show you why!" Bane roared. Just then, the true size of his aura showed, sixteen times the size of the black sheath surrounding his body. The great blackness formed into the skeleton of a man's torso with four arms and two heads. It was solid as steel and it burned like fire. The air shimmered from the heat coming off of its body. The tiger astride Bane was dwarfed by the giant standing over Bane. "Stand aside!" Bane roared, swiping Timber off of his body with the giant's right arms. Bane slowly stood, the giant's rib cage settling around his body, protecting it while still granting him vision of those around him. Bane swirled his arms around his body and the giant's limbs followed suit, trashing about and smashing away the things that were near him like nothing more than matchsticks. Most of what he touched was stone, but everything else burst into flame.

"I will destroy everything he loves, I will mold him into a soldier, into a man and he will finally be of use to me. You!" Bane roared, targeting Sierra. "As I said earlier, Silas likes you. You're first." Bane slowly strode over to Sierra, intent on reducing her soft body to nothingness.

Shard gave up. He roared, and turned into a massive Black dragon. He reared, and landed. He padded to where the fight was. Shard looked at Sierra as i to say sorry. He focused his golden eyes on Bane, and growled, showing his huge canines.

Dragon form: He gazed at the Bane, and pounced on him, pinning him down with his great size, fire rolled up and down his throat. He opened his mouth, ready to let loose a jet of flame on TheBane, (Shard called Bane that i dont know why lol) which would kill him instantly.

Firvin missed his target as Bane was repelled by the barrier, and flew into the ground rolling and popping back onto his feet, bits of bark and thorns flying off Firvin as he hits the ground. Firvin looks back at Bane seeing Timber now in her tiger form on top of him holding him down bad idea he thought to himself. Bane's aura greatly increased in size and threw Timber off him. Firvin was concerned for her, but he knew she should be ok if she didn't try to fight anymore. Firvin looks back at Bane in time to hear him scream "I will destroy everything he loves, I will mold him into a soldier, into a man and he will finally be of use to me. You!" He saw Bane's eyes through the aura, he was looking at Sierra. I have to help her. With his wooden armor still active Firvin goes to stand beside Sierra. "Sierra you know that fighting back doesn't work. He can absorb your strength, defense is our only option, we must not attempt to injure him or it will be flung back at us." Just as Firvin said this that new one, the dragon, attempted to pin Bane, and let loose a jet of flame, which did nothing as Bane easily absorbed the energy from the fire. "See what I mean, every time we attack him, he deflects or reflects it, we need a new strategy. He said that Silas likes you, try talking to him. I know it sounds crazy but it just might work."

Shard beat his wings impatientaly, and let out another jet of flame, knowing that it would do nothing. He clawed at TheBane's face and swiped him with his tail. He roared and beat his wings.

Then he turned into a wolf, and tried to aim for his neck. He knew it was useless, so he turned into dragon again and contuined to make fire balls, which Bane absorbed them. He gave up with a flick of his long tail, and walked over to Firvin and Sierra and sat down next to them.
