Ace Hyrus's Story

"Simple, for all we know she could be from another time, I mean we all know time travel is real." Said Sky.

Meanwhile in the Rift Rider The Mechanic had gone to the training room and had turned all the training dummies, punching bags, and targets to scrap and was still very angry, Ace then poked his head through the doorway and The Mechanic instantly attacked him trying to blow off some steam, Ace was going full defensive the second he saw The Mechanic had black eyes with white pupils.

"Sorry The Mechanic is checking on something, I may not be as smart as The Mechanic but I do know my way around machines." Said Shade. Shade then took the sketch and went to sit in the driver's seat, he then opened a compartment and set the sketch on it and the sketch was scanned. "Okay there we go, now if my calculations are correct the Rift Rider should now be able to change into that form, this button here." Said Shade who then pressed the button and the Rift Rider turned from a teampunk sports car into a steampunk version of The Latios Airship. "We haven't fully completed the transformation and the colorscheme is still pretty similar, as for getting registered your crystals should be registered in there right?" Asked Shade pulling a panel off of the dash.

Azzen took Ravenger, Sky, and Chals shoulder and began to speak quietly, "Hey, do you smell that?". Ravenger nodded, "Its weird. Its Neo-Hunter but its...off". "Almost, mechanical", Azzen said. Ravenger locked eyes with her, "Artificial". Azzen snapped, "EXACTLY!". Veorie joined in, "Exactly? Exactly what?". Azzen fixed her with fiery eyes, "Nothing, don't worry about it. Hey, uh, Veorie. You wouldn't mind coming with us, would you?". Veorie shook her head, and grinned, "Of course not! Lead the way". Azzen led the group out of the alley, and back to the Rift Rider. Ravenger looked back at Veorie, who seemed to be unbothered by Sky, "You see that? That's not normal". Azzen nodded, "Right, but there's something else too". Chal walked backwards, "What's not normal?". "The fact that she's not bothered by the smell of a Forbidden. That's not normal", Ravenger answered. Chal nodded, "So you think there's more to this girl then meets the eye?". Ravenger and Azzen both nodded.

Tex walked into the training room, barefoot, wearing a black tank top, and black athletic pants. Her red hair, pulled into a spiky braid, a few loose strands hanging on front of her face. There were slightly dark circles under her eyes. She raised an eyebrow at the fight, walked over and picked the Mechanic up by his jacket, "Alright, what's going on here?".

"Actually, the ship needed to be registered," Teddy corrected, "But not anymore... Since I don't know how this vehicle is treated under the law." He turns to Zula, "Crystal please?"

Zula hands over the crystal she carried. Teddy looks deep into it... Then shatters it in his fist! "What was that for!?" Zula shouted in a more surprised tone.

"Darkella's listened in on our conversation," Teddy said urgently, "And she's closing in, we need to go, now!"

"Well I'm not full Forbidden, I am half Time Lord remember?" Asked Sky.

The Mechanic then instantly broke free of Tex's grasp and turned to face her, showing off his black eyes with white pupils. "I think he's pissed, and I've never seen him this pissed, someone must have damaged the Rift Rider severely or to the point ti would be vary hard to fix.

"Okay, wait...two things, some of my friends are currently outside the Rift Rider, also notice the huge dent in the door, the Rift Rider will be unable to use it's traveling abilities as long as the outer hull is damaged, I'm gonna have to fix that." Said Shade. Shade then started taking the door apart until only the outer shell of the door remained and he started punching the dent back into place which considering how it was made of Dalekanium was harder than Shade was making it look.

Azzen rolled her eyes, "Well we can still smell it, okay pinky? Its pretty evident". Veorie caught up with Azzen and Ravenger, "So where are we going?". Ravenger and Azzen exchanged glances, "SOmewhere cool, okay!", Chal said flashing a smile, "Will we have to knock her out?". "Hopefully not", Ravenger answered.

Tex nodded, "That's a problem. But hows about you take your anger out on a wall, or metal punching bag, instead of your friends, ay Mechanic? Don't make have to be maternal with you, and don't think I wont do it, because I will. I don't have to remind you how strong I am do I?", she said, crossing her arms.

"We have no choice but to fight," Zula said, "Teddy, stay here, we can't risk you being caught by her."

Zula draws her sword and begins to look out of any windows, looking for Darkella.

Outside, a striking tall brunette woman was approaching the Rift Rider, she wore a black dress embroidered with star patterns on them, her hair long and free, and her eyes are an unnatural shade of magenta. She seemed to approach the Rift Rider with seductive glare. She knew her prey was hiding in the vehicle. She then sees a group of friends approach the vehicle, "Easy soldiers," she says to herself, she the approaches them, calling, "Pardon my intrusion, but would any of you be willing to help a pretty lady like me?"

"Okay, whatever, we should probably hurry up and get there." Said Sky.

Ace then pointed at all the scrap around the room. "I think those were the punchbags and other assorted training equipment...also when The Mechanic is this pissed off there's no reasoning with him, best thing to do is knock him out...sorry slip of the tongue, I meant tire him out, no one has been able to knock him out when he's like this, not even Shade." Said Ace. Then The Mechanic charged at Tex and punched her hard enough to send her flying hard enough into the wall to leave a massive dent, before she could even blink.

Sky took one look at the woman. "She reeks of the same stench the DemonLord of Lust does, best leave her alone." Whispered Sky to the others. Shade then opened the door. "Sky, get the dent out of the door, I'll hold her off." Said Shade. Shade then walked up to the woman not even bothering to get in a fighting stance. "I heard you use people's lust to control them, well that won't work with me." Said Shade. Sky then lead everyone into the Rift Rider and shut the door and then started trying to get the dent out of the door but wasn't doing it as fast as Shade was. "Don't worry about my dad, he can easily take care of himself." Said Sky.

Chal looked at the woman, and shifted uncomfortably, "A demon lord of Lust. Yeah, sure, lets get inside". Ravenger and Azzen both took one look at the woman, and then at each other. Azzen rolled her eyes, "Yeah, like that's going to affect us". Veorie cocked her head, "Whoa cooool! I;ve never seen that befo-", she was cut off as Azzen and Ravenger dragged her inside the Rift Rider. Chal took slow steps toward the Rift Rider, a hand moving down to her sword.

Tex fell to her knees, and tested her jaw, smiling, "I was actually kinda hoping something like this would happen. Its been a long time since I had a good fight. Being a parent really builds up stress", she said slowly, standing up, and getting into a fighting stance, "Lets go. Give me your best shot"

"Chal, inside the Rift Rider, now...you too Storm." Said Shade. Storm was sitting ontop of the Rift Rider. "Someone's got to be here to pull you back out of your insanity before you go too far." Said Storm. "Who said I'm gonna use my insanity?" Asked Shade. "I apologize ahead of time." Said Storm. Storm then started whistling the tune of the toradore march and almost instantly a look of pure insanity spread across Shade's face and Shade chuckled before humming along to the tune.

The Mechanic then seemed to disappear only to reappear behind Tex and strike her in the back, not as hard as before but strong enough to knock her off balance. "Sh*t, I just remembered when The Mechanic fights hand to hand he usually trades strength for speed, and based on how his physical capabilities are raised that's dangerous." Said Ace.

Zula charges out as well. Darkella laughes, then focuses, "So Teddy's picked his bodyguards wise I take," she says mockingly, "Of course, this is of little concern, Teddy just needs to hear the sound of my voice, and he'll be helpless!"

"We won't let that happen, Darkella," Zula retorts.

"Really?" Darkella sarcastically remarked, "You forget, I am lust, I am desire, I am want, I am Darkella!" Her hair then begins to levitate as she readies for attack, "And all will bow before me!"

Shade then created swords made of solidified light while humming the toradore march then charged at Darkella at impossible speeds slashing with the swords. "Hey Zula, best for you to get inside too, when Shade goes insane anyone else would just get in the way, no offense." Said Storm.

Chal nodded, "Yeah, sorry. Im all kinda frozen up", she said stepping inside the Rift Rider.

Tex bent, and grabbed the Mechanics leg, slamming him into the floor, and then throwing him a few feet away, "That was nice twinkle toes. Your going to have to be better though. Her Ace, would you be a dear, and go get my husband? I've got a feeling things might escalate a little, and I want to have some sort of leash to keep me from ripping everyone piece by piece if it happens. Just a necessary precaution", she said cracking her knuckles. "Alright Mechanic, lets see what you've got in the ole' tank", she said throwing her fists up in a boxing position.

Darkella tries to evade, but barely dodges, getting scratched in the process. She's certainly more agile than her clothes made her seem. At the cut, instead of bleeding, there was a mark of light energy eating at Darkella's body. Darkella then cups her hands and holds them a few inches apart, she then summons darkness energy in the shape of a black star. "You're fast," Darkella points out, "But let's see how you fare in a sticky situation." The dark star then begins to take on a more sub-solid, slimy form, then attempts to launch it at Shade.

Shade simply grabs the star and looks at it before crushing it in his hands then wiping his hands on his pants. "HA! You think that will harm me?! I AM DARKNESS! I AM LIGHT! I AM FORBIDDEN!" Said Shade. Shade then recreated the light swords and started slashing at Darkella, meanwhile Storm hopped off the top of the Rift Rider with a sadistic grin, he then stepped inside the Rift Rider. "Who are you?" Asked Sky. "What do you mean? It's me, Storm." Said Storm?. "No, Storm would never force my father to go insane, who are you really?" Asked Sky. The fake Storm then glowed for a split second and standing where the fake Storm was, was what looked like a female version of The Mechanic with red eyes, and smelled of Forzo, it was The Mechanic's half-sister Trixie. "I would love to stay and chat but my baby brother needs help." Said Trixie. Trixie then disappeared.

Out of nowhere Trixie appeared and put The Mechanic in a headlock. "Shhh, calm down little brother." Said Trixie. The Mechanic struggled but after a few seconds his eyes went back to normal, Trixie then let go. "What are you doing here Trixie?! You know there are Neo-Hunters on the Rift Rider right?!" Said The Mechanic. "Aw, almost sounds like you're worried about me." Said Trixie. "I'm not, just paying a never-ending debt, so what are you doing here?" Asked The Mechanic. "I'm here to warn you, father is out for your blood." Said Trixie. "So he wants to kill me, nothing new." Said The Mechanic. "No, he's literally out for your blood, your DNA, he thinks if he could get your DNA he could make Forzo stronger, and before you ask why, you have single-handedly defeated his best soldiers over...what is it? Over 1000 times now." Said Trixie. "Okay, so make sure he doesn't get my blood, got it, now can you leave?" Asked The Mechanic. "No can do, I have two people I want you to meet first." Said Trixie. "Who and where are they?" Asked The Mechanic. "One is a demon named Drakenos Hyrus, he's the father of two of your friends, the other is mama Aurora, turns out she's alive." Said Trixie. "My mother is alive?! Where is she?!" Said The Mechanic. "The two I just named are currently hanging out in an abandoned hangar." Said Trixie. "Um...who's mama Aurora and why does she sound familiar?" Asked Ace. "Mama Aurora is my mother, a Time Lord, Trixie here is my half-sister on my dad's side, she calls my mom mama Aurora since my mom was her nanny before she had me, and I have no clue how you know my mom's name." Said The Mechanic. "Well follow me to the hangar." Said Trixie. The Mechanic nodded and Trixie lead him down the hallway.

((Sorry I took so long, school, chorus, and the library is closed on sundays and Mondays))

Chal glanced at the window, "Well, im glad im not out there anymore", she said bumping into Azzen. "Ow, hey lets keep walking alright? Don't just stop in the middle of the...guys?". Veorie looked at Chal and shrugged, and then jostled Azzen's shoulder, "Azzen. Are you okay?". A slow fanged smile worked its way onto Azzen's face, "Fine...just...fine". Chal gasped, both Ravenger and Azzens eyes had become thinly slighted. Chal and Veorie exchanged glances, "Whats happening to them?", Veorie asked, her eyes full of concern. Chal gripped Ravengers shoulders, but he gazed past her, a low growl slowly building. Ravenger, and Azzen suddenly bolted down the hall way, their bodies changing as they went. Chal sprinted after them, "Cmon Vey, I really don't like whats going on here!"

Tex crossed her arms, and relaxed, "Well, at least we didn't tear this place down from the inside. That's could have been bad", she stiffened when she heard Trixie mention her genes. She jogged up to them and looked over her shoulder, "Either you must be suicidal, or just plain stupid. There are three Neo-Hunters in this thing currently, and im pretty sure they could smell you even if you tried to hide it", she then fixed Trixie with a dead serious gaze, "Really though. I would suggest you leave now. While you still have all of your limbs".

Sky then went back to fixing the door. "Most likely realized that strange girl is a Forzo, Neo-Hunters and Forzo are enemies, long story short the Forzo once enslaved the Neo-Hunters and the Neo-Hunters rose up and now kill any Forzo they come across." Said Sky.

The Mechanic then pulled out his two modified pistols and loaded them with needles that are full of powerful tranquilizers and electrified. "Let them come, I have no fear, besides my baby brother is more than enough to protect me." Said Trixie. "Trust me Tex, once she's made up her mind there's no stopping her." Said The Mechanic. "Thanks Michael." Said Trixie. "It's The Mechanic." Said The Mechanic. "Oh right, you don't use the name I gave you anymore." Said Trixie. "Whatever, just quickly take me to my mom then leave." Said The Mechanic. "Yeah yeah yeah, stop nagging me, man since when were you the mature one between us? Last I checked you extremely childish compared to me." Said Trixie. "Yeah, well I call it taking an over 5000 year course in the school of hard knocks, also known as reality." Said The Mechanic.

Tex stopped, and turned down a hall, "I'm going to make sure that Zero is still...himself...". Veorie and Chal, turned the corner in front of the Mechanic, and Trixie. Chal bent over, breathing hard, "Hey...Mechanic...you see...Rav, and...Az?". Veorie turned in place, "I smell them...its like there everywhere. But I cant sense them any other way. Weird". Chal looked up at Trixie, "Have I seen you before?".

"You go do that." Said The Mechanic. The Mechanic stopped as he listened to Chal then cursed under his breath. "No I haven't seen them, anyways Chal meet my older half-sister Trixie, Trixie we're gonna have to speed this up since we can't hope to outrun them on foot." Said The Mechanic. The Mechanic then walked over to a wall and kicked it, there was then the sound of machinery moving then the wall opened revealing a motorcycle, The Mechanic then pulled it out and hopped on it. "Hop on Trixie, we've got to get to the hangar before they find us, I severely want to avoid explaining why I'm helping a Forzo." Said The Mechanic. Trixie then hopped on the motorcycle behind The Mechanic and The Mechanic handed her his pistols. "But Michael, you know I hate blood." Said Trixie in a childish tone. "First, those are non-lethal, second, do you seriously expect me to use lethal rounds on my friends? Third, this coming from the girl who taught me how to shoot using live chickens as targets and using explosive ammo, final, IT'S THE MECHANIC NOT MICHAEL!" Said The Mechanic. "Things have changed, I don't like blood anymore." Said Trixie ignoring most of what The Mechanic said. "Whatever lets just hurry up." Said The Mechanic. The motorcycle then launched forward at unbelievable speeds, fast enough that one would wonder how The Mechanic would be able to avoid crashing.

Chal watched them speed off, "Well that was fun. Can you track the Vey?". Veorie shrugged, and looked around worriedly, "Maybe. I...I don't know". Chal looked around, and breathed in sharply through her teeth, "Try. Please".
