Ziath Inaulah's Story

Future Storm then walked in. "Wow, he's looking worse than when I left, now lets see here...it must be when Arashi banished the shadow controlling him Cain kept his void powers, which he might be having trouble controlling without the shadow which might kill him...okay then, I've decided what to do." Said Future Storm. Future Storm then pulled out a needle and pricked his finger and then rubbed it across Cain's forehead drawing a symbol, Storm then pulled his finger away and snapped his fingers and the symbol disappeared. "There, I've stabilized his powers by linking him to me, my creation powers will keep his void powers under control." Said Future Storm. Nico then noticed Future Nico had a sword sheath on his back but no sword. "What's up with the empty sheath?" Asked Nico. "Oh right, you're from before I met Feria, well later on you'll be chosen by an immortal sword so strong it chipped Excalibur, it was forged by Arashi." Said Future Nico. "Sounds cool." Said Nico. "Wait I thought Storm said he had no memories of the fight." Said Alice. "I did but Arashi just decided to share some info." Said Future Storm. A girl with fox ears and tail then walked in and noticed there were two Alices. "OMG! Two Alices?!" Said the girl with and smile. the girl then went over and hugged both Alices. "Past me, meet our girlfriend, Yuki." Said Future Alice. "Oh come on, girlfriend is too weak a word, we're mates." Said Yuki. "Mates means one thing in Kitsune culture but in some human cultures it means friends." Said Alice. "I did not know that." Said Yuki.

Cain coughed, rolling over to his side. He weakly opened his eyes, which were a bright emerald green, Ravenger set him down on the couch, and future Atlas hobbled over to him with tears in her eyes, "Cain? Are you okay?". Cain stared at the ceiling, "I might throw up". Future Atlas broke down and gripped Cain in a beat hug, "I didn't know if... if I would ever see the real you". Cain groaned, "I need a trash can". Ravenger and Ziath both turned to Yuki, Revenge cocked his head, while Ziath slowly half transformed, her tail sliding out and flicking in the air while four large horns curled down from her head. Chal and Devacus nodded, "That's nice. I like your, uh, tail?" Chalk sail with a nervous smile.

Future Storm handed Cain a bucket. "There you go buddy." Said Future Storm. Storm then looked over to the others and shuddered at the sight of Ziath growing a tail and horns. "Sorry, I just have this fear of things with scales, when I was younger my sister literally traumatized me by putting a dead rattlesnake in my bed, and before you ask where the rattlesnake came from, at the time I lived in Arizona and my grandfather had shot one and put it in a plastic container to show everyone." Said Storm. Yuki was just smiling with an arm around each Alice. Future Sky then walked in. "Hi Yuki, you feeling better?" Asked Sky. "Much better." Said Yuki "Were you feeling sick?" Asked Future Nico. "No." Said Yuki. "She was complaining her butt hurt earlier." Said Future Sky. "Oh god, please tell you me didn't." Said Future Alice. "No I didn't tell the cause." Said Yuki. "What was the cause?" Asked Sky. Drake and Ace then walked in the room. "The reason why my butt hurt is secret." Said Yuki. A slight blush came over Future Alice's face, and then Ace's and Drake's imaginations caused their noses to start gushing blood, they then left with their hands over their mouths and noses. "I'm guessing you-" Said Future Sky. "Not in front of the younger people." Said Future Alice.

Cain nodded in appreciation. Atlas was quiet, watching her future self and Cain. Chalk pated her shoulder, "You gonna be alright?". Atlas nodded, "Yeah. I'm good. Its weird watching this all happen". Ziaths feet turned into talons and she slowly began to circle Yuki, her eyes scanning her up and down, hissing softly through her fangs. Ravenger stepped back, and Devacus stepped beside him, "Should we get Zaith?". Ravenger frowned, "No. It should be fine. If she attacks, then we get her". Ziath stopped behind Yuki, and watched her swishing tail, completely motionless, except for her own tail, which swayed slowly. Ravenger grunted, "This may be a problem".

Yuki pretended not to notice Ziath, but was already getting ready for a fight. "Hey, you two, stop it, if a fight breaks out I'll be completely vulnerable to any kind of miss-fired attack since Arashi's powers are severely drained by, 1, using his powers to weaken Gabriel's attack, and 2, trying to keep me from accidently crossing the thin line between coma and death, so I'm using my own power for once which might not be strong enough to protect me from any miss-aimed attacks, especially from you two." Said Future Storm. Future Nico then reached for his empty sword sheath and a sword appeared in it and he grabbed the handle. "Storm's right, calm down before I force you two." Said Future Nico.

Ziath slowly stepped forward, "You have a tail, and ears. Why do you have both of them?". "Ziath, she was probably born with them", Ravenger said. Ziath cocked her head, "That can happen?". Ravenger groaned, "Yes. Yes it can". Ziath reached up to touch Yuki's ears, but wasn't tall enough o reach them. Ravenger and Devacus exchanged glances, "Ziath, you've felt ears before", Ravenger said. Ziath pouted, "But these are all natural. Their furry, and stuff".

"Uh, yeah, I was born with them, I'm a Kitsune, a Japanese Fox Spirit." Said Yuki. Yuki then knelt down so Ziath could touch her ears now that she realized there wasn't any hostility. Storm sighed realizing he jumped to conclusions again and Nico let go of his sword but it didn't disappear. Ace and Drake then walked back in both with tissues up their noses. "Wow, so even after I become a full demon I still have this nose issue." Said Ace. "Yes, and you'll get it a lot with the DemonLord of Lust pursuing us." Said Drake. "Oh god, not her." Said Ace. Even Helios shuddered at the mention of the DemonLord of Lust. "How bad is she to cause that reaction?" Asked Nico. "Don't get me wrong, she's beautiful and everything, but she is only into relationships to break people's hearts, she'll spend a couple days with someone before cheating on them with another person, her most recent target is Drake and he's basically pretending she doesn't exist despite the DemonLords of the Seven Deadly Sins being the highest ranking DemonLords just under the king, Drake believes she'll give up eventually but she hasn't back off in the slightest." Said Helios. "She'll leave me alone eventually." Said Drake.

Devacus shifted uncomfortably, "There's a DemonLord of Lust? Um. I don't. Lets. Lets not meet. her". Ravenger nodded, though his face never changed, "I agree with the smart one. I don't think it would be wise to really even mention her. My father says that even just saying a demons name can summon them. Or something like that. I don't really remember". Ziath grinned, and felt doth of Yuki's ears, "Their so soft! Im a Neo-Hunter, and we turn into animals. Usually we get a mutation with our animal genes. Ravy and my mutations is our eyes", she said motioning to her fiery eyes. "Yuki, your cool!". Future Chal, helped future Atlas, and Cain up; supporting them, "Im going to take these two to the infirmary". Atlas watched Cain leave. Chal wrapped an arm around her, "Hey girl, don't think about that. Okay, just forget it". Atlas nodded, "Yeah, im just s little freaked out"

((Hey Storm, where did you make your character pics?))

Ravenger nodded, "Good". Devacus shifted uncomfortably, "A Demon of lust. I don't really think it would be good to have her around". Atlas stood up, "Okay, so that is only one of many possible futures, so all we have to do is make sure Cain doesn't turn out like that", she said. Chal walked to Devacus's side, and leaned on his shoulder, "Its nice to have everyone together like this, she said smiling up at Ravenger, who raised an eyebrow. Ziath giggled and hugged Yuki, "Yuki, I wish my big brother could be more like you". Ravenger's eyebrows creased, "What's that supposed to mean?". Ziath rolled her eyes, "It means I wish you weren't so grumpy, and mean all the time", she said her grip tightening defensively on Yuki. "Im not grumpy. Am I?", Ravenger asked turning to Devacus, and Chal. Devacus thought for a second, "Um. Maybe?". Chal grinned widely, "Totally, dude. You are a total downer, Rav". Atlas joined in the conversation, "In the time I've known you, Ravenger. Yeah, you do seem to be a grumpy guy like, 99 percent of the time", she said with a sympathetic smile. Ravenger huffed in frustration, "This is bullying" he said quiety, the fire in his eyes growing more intence. "Awww, Ravy's angry. Angry, angry Ravy!", Ziath cackled. Ravenger growled in frustration and leapt at Ziath, who squealed, in fear, and delight, and dashed quickly away from the game room, Ravenger hot on her heels. Atlas's eyebrows creased in worry, "Should we go after them?". Chal shook her head, "Naw, this happens all the time. They'll tire themselves out, and come back eventually".

Rin broke her lock with Chal and ran over to the future Mechanic, "DAD!". Chal rolled her eyes, "I cant believe the nerve of that one", she said as Devacus walked up beside Future you's right though. You and Rin are like twins". "Your my twin", Chal said angrily. Devacus smiled, "Yeah, but, you know what I mean". "No I don't", Chal replied scowling. Ravenger and Ziath came sprinting back into the room, their eyes wild, and their heads turning and sniffing the air. Ravenger looked at everyone in the room, "Was there a Forzo in here?!"

"Huh? Forzo? Nope, but Alice did ask us to smell a new perfume she wanted to try." Said Helios. "It was so bad I decided to turn the bottle and the contents to ash." Said Drake scowling while holding his nose. "You owe me $50." Said Future Alice. "$50?! That's expensive so something so disgusting!" Said Drake. Future Storm just continued being in a ball behind the couch. "You just missed it, both the Mechanics came rushing in dual pistols blazing they both couldn't get a shot on the other, then they started fighting hand to hand, at first they seemed even but the Future Mechanic knocked current Mechanic off his feet and won, it was amazing!" Said Nico. "Was I really that childish when I was younger?" Asked Future Nico. "Yes." Said Future Mechanic. "Well anyways we're already to split the two Rift Riders back into two Rift Riders so say your farewells to your future/past selves." Said The Mechanic.

Rvaenger and Ziath nodded, though Ravenger looked unconvinced. Future Chal turned to her past self, "Okay, so. I got no advice for you except, trust your heart". Chal laughed, "What is this some cheesy kids movie here?". Future Chal smiled, "Yeah, that was kinda cheesy wasn't it". Devacus and Atlas waved goodbye. Ravenger just nodded. Ziath over and hugged Yuki, "Bye Yuki! Next time I see you i'll be...older! Older for sure!". Rin and Chal locked eyes again, and Rin stuck out her tongue. Chal mimicked her, which caused Rins cheeks to flush red in anger. Echo appeared in the room, and stretched, "Finally, got that mess sorted out! Man, I do really good work", she said and then saw the Mechanic's, "Uh, I mean. Horrible, horrible job on my part.Just merciless".

"You are in so much trouble." Snickered Ace. "That she is, but there's not really much I can do to punish her so she'll be getting out it...this time." Said The Mechanic. The two Mechanics then shook hands then they both pulled out smart-phone looking devices. "Okay, on 3, 1, 2, 3." Said Future Mechanic. On 3 both the Mechanics tapped the screen and the future versions of everyone disappeared.

Meanwhile on the outside of the Rift Rider Shade hopped off the Rift Rider and the Rift Rider started to glow and then it split into two lights, one staying where it was the other shooting forward and leaving a trail of flames behind it, then the glow stopped and the Rift Rider was still there. "Well looks like they fixed it, anyways yes, I'm a Forbidden, half Angel, half Demon." Said Shade. Shade then snapped and he was then fully dressed and he rolled his shoulders and feathery wings that were black on top and then slowly turned to white the further down the wing it went sprouted out of his back. "One of the last Forbidden to be exact." Said Shade.

A chain made out of fire whipped out, and caught the front wheel of the bike, sending Trixie, and the Mechanic tumbling off. Ravenger lowered himself from the ceiling in front of Trixie, while Azzen appeared from around the corner. "Found you", Azzen hissed, her own horns extending from her head. Ravenger reared up, blocking the hallway, and Azzen stepped forward slowly, dragging her claws on the wall, smoke slowly flowing from her mouth, "Please run. Or fight, it makes you better in the end". Ravenger stepped forward, his mouth morphing into a snout. Ziath slowly crawled on the ceiling over Azzens head, hissing at Trixie.

The Mechanic then unloaded a few rounds into Ravenger, Azzen, and Ziath. "I apologize but I will explain later." Said The Mechanic. The Mechanic then picked Trixie up and Trixie got onto The Mechanic's back like she was getting a piggy-back ride. "Oh, are you gonna use 'it'?" Asked Trixie. "Shut up." Said The Mechanic. The Mechanic's eyes then went black with white pupils and he started to smell of Forzo, then The Mechanic and Trixie disappeared with their scents going down the hallway and the scents disappearing quickly.

Meanwhile in the hangar a boy that looked around twelve with blood red hair and blood red eyes wearing black combat boots, blue jeans, a large black coat, and a white scarf named, his name is Drakenos, a woman with brown hair and warm-chocolate-brown eyes wearing running shoes, jeans, and a black t-shirt, her name is Aurora, and Storm were all sitting at a table drinking tea. "Ugh, this stuff is nasty, how can you stand it?" Said Drakenos. "I agree with Drakenos." Said Storm. "Oh quit your whining, tea is better for you than coffee or soda." Said Aurora. "Whatever." Said Storm. Storm then created a can of RC cola and started drinking it. "Hey Storm, can you get me a coffee?" Asked Drakenos. "Sure." Said Storm. Storm then created a cup of coffee and handed it to Drakenos. "Thanks." Said Drakenos. "Ugh, why do I even bother." Said Aurora.

Chal crossed her arms, and raised her eyebrows, "Whoa, really?! Oh wow. Vey will be really happy to hear that". Atlas and Ziath approached the pair, Cain asleep in Ziaths arms, "Oh my gosh guys! Loook! Hes soooo cute!". Chal shivered, remembering her experience, "Yeah. Cute isn't really the word I would use". Atlas groaned, "Chal, hes just a baby". Chal, "Yeah. But the Cain I've seen isn't really the friendliest". Ziath gently rocked Cain back and forth, "Look at his chubby face. Hes adorable!"

"Oh right...we're gonna need Storm to get rid of that whole shadow thing in his mind as soon as possible." Said Ace. Maria then walked up to the group. "Hello everyone!" Said Maria. "Oh right...I forgot you were here." Said Ace. "Where else would I be?" Asked Maria obviously ticked off. "I dunno..." Said Ace.

Ziath looked up at Ace, "Hes got a shadow in his mind? What is it like?". Atlas crossed her arms, "Ziath! Come on, that's my brother!". Chal laid a hand on Atlas's shoulder, "Look. You don't know what he can do. I only got a taste. He cant live with whatever is in his head, influencing him to do the kinds of things that he did to me". Atlas looked away. Ziath looked from Chal to Atlas, "Um". "I just don't want him to be hurt. He's just so young". Echo popped up beside Marias head, "Hey, wazz up my synthetic girrrl?".

"Don't worry, there's no way Storm can cause any damage, he'll just do what he already did, just with less power since Cain is younger this time." Said Ace. "I hear a voice in my head...is there a problem with my files?" Asked Maria. "No, probably just Echo messing around." Said Ace. "Oh...okay." Said Maria.

Echo teleported in front of Ace, "Don't talk about me like im not here! Because I am!". Atlas nodded, "Okay, as long as he isn't hurt", and bent down to take Cain from Zaith. Chal rubbed her shoulder, "Don't worry. Its better for him this way". "You talk about it like he's going to die", Atlas said softly, staring at Cains face. Ziath focused on Echo, "What is that? A fairy?". Echo dropped to Ziaths level, "Hey little missy, I isn't no fairy! In fact, im old enough to be your mothers best friend". Ziath reached out to touch Echo, but Echo just sat on her finger, "But you look like your eight". Echo brushed her hair back dramatically, "And adorable as heck".
