 Near the center of the Dark Mage Village, stands a cathedral that almost no one goes to. The only individuals that have ever been known to enter the cathedral are cloaked beings that never reveal themselves. One can be seen, heading towards the cathedral with an unconscious panda man in his arms. Very suspicious. Inside the cathedral, from the front doors to the alter on the other end of the building, stand many statues that resemble the cloaked beings. At the alter, stands one of the beings with a very different cloak. He stands with a red cloak with a multitude of designs covering it. The front doors suddenly open and the one, carrying the panda man enters the building. The doors slowly close as the being walks towards the red cloaked being at the alter. "You have found him? Where are your men?" The red cloaked one asks as the one carrying the panda stops in front of the alter. "They were lost to a cat being that was with this one. Plus, I'm not sure if he is the one, but he surely fits the description." He replies. "Very well. Take him to the holding chamber." The red one states as he triggers a switch under the top portion of the podium, near the alter. One of the statues, nearest to the alter then slide back, revealing a hidden stairway. The cloaked being then nods his head and trails down the stairway. The statue finally slides back into position, leaving only the red cloaked individual at the podium.

 Somewhere along the thick and detailed concrete wall surrounding the Cathedral wandered a small girl. She wandered back and forth quietly, stepping onto and over each column as she came to them. As she followed the wall, she glanced over, noticing one of the cloaked people carrying an unconscious Panda Boy. He was heading toward the Cathedral.

She stopped where she was, holding her arms behind her and watched him curiously. Her cat ears flickered and her tail swayed slightly as she tilted her head. She continued to observe unnoticed as -Mr. Cloak- carry the Panda inside with the doors closing behind him. Now she was interested.

Quickly, she hopped down from the wall and scurried over to the Cathedral. She leapt up to the second story and swiftly skipped along the extravagant stone features that made up the decorative outer wall. She reached a window and peered inside covertly and continued monitoring as The Cloaked Carrier walked past the similar looking statues and up to -Mr. I’m the Big Red Leader, Look at me!-.

Her ears twitched and she listened very carefully as she saw the whole thing. Even as the secret staircase was revealed beneath one of the statues and the Panda Boy was taken below. Her tail perked up as her full attention was obtained by the strange, but fascinating situation.

She then left the window discreetly and set off to roam around the Cathedral, examining it while she waited for an opportunity to have some fun.

 Yin and her somewhat companions manage to follow the few cloaked individuals to the large cathedral. the cloaked ones head up the stairs of the massive building and the front doors slowly open by themselves. After they enter, the doors close. Yin heads up the stairs and stops at the doors. "Hmm... how strange. It's almost like the doors only open for those cloaked guys. You have any thoughts or ideas, Artie? Vanilla?" Yin notes as she turns back to the two.

 "Artemis. And can't we just...bust the doors open or something?" The anthro asked; stepping lightly towards the door and extending her silver-ish claws; scrapign them along the surface; ears flattening at the sound this action produced.

"Maybe...something a bit more powerful?" The cat suggested.

 Yin scratches her chin as she looks down the street. She catches a glimpse of a few more cloaked beings heading in the cathedral's direction. Yin smiles and says, "I have a better idea." She then dashes down the stairs and directly at the cloaked ones. Seems like Yin plans on a headon attack.

 Turning her body sharply, Artemis leapt from the top stair; landing somewhat ungracefuly on all fours. Scrabling across the ground, she rightened herself and caught up with the panda. "If we kill them; the door probably wont open." She pointed out as she ran alongside Yin.

 "The idea isn't to use them to get in..." Yin notes as she does a flying jump kick to one of their heads. When Yin lands one the ground, she trips the same clocked being with a leg sweep. As soon as he hits the ground, Yin drops a leg onto his chest. "...But to use their cloaks to pass us up as their own." Yin finishes, just before a magical fireball hits her in the back. She flies a bit forward before landing hard on the ground.

 Artemis nods slightly; 'dancing' light-footedly across the makeshift battle area. Hr extended claws become fogged with a thick red colour; and with a swipe she send a magical missile towards the nearest 'monk' - one that would burn like hell on slightest contact. Seeing her fighitng partner drop, Artemis bounds to the Pandas side. "Ah, you'll pull through." She states, jumping this way and that as magic seems to be thrown carelessly around.

 Yin become quite a bit aggitated towards the mages nailed her in the back. She immediately flips back to her feet and chages directly at that one. She tackles him to the ground and repeatedly slams her fist into the nothingness of his face. The mages have been dealt with and the cloaks instantly become empty. Yin looks at Artemis with a questionative look on her face and then back down at the empty cloaks. "So much for stripping them down." Yin adds in her words, before picking up a cloak for herself to use.

 Her ears twitched. She scampered over to the entrance and gazed below. There were women down there. They were very much older than her. They wanted in to the Cathedral, but the Cathedral seemed to be picky about its visitors and rejected their arrival. They talked to each other about crashing the party she caught a glimpse of earlier.

She tilted her head inquiringly at the one woman. She was the one who was taken in prior. His sister? She must have been. They had an uncanny resemblance to one another. This looked like fun. Why pass it up?

Wow, they could fight! They were a little unorthodox, but they â€"did- accomplish something rather intelligent…assuming they -would- be accepted to enter the Cathedral. She smiled at the situation as the excitement rose. Her tail wagged eagerly.

She hopped from her perch and awaited the fun to come. This could prove to be enjoyable exercise.

 Artemis rose her head, scenting, vaguely, the scent of the other being. Looking around, her bright blue eyes caught nothing and the anthro gave a shrug - blowing at the tips of her reddish claws before retracting them, and bending down to pick up a cloak.

Rising and twirling the cloak around her, she glanced back at Yin. "This better work."

 Yin throws the cloak on and flips the hood over her head. She glances at Artemis and nods. She heads up the stairs and just as Yin predicted, the doors open up. She was surprised, herself. When they enter, they would notice about twenty statues that resemble the cloaked beings. The red cloaked being at the far end of the building leans over the podium whenb he notices the new arrivals. "Report!" He bellows, assuming that they are mages. Yin grins as she lowers her hood to reveal her face and she then brings up he right hand to flip off the red mage. "Report this!" Yin yells back as she then walks towards the red one. "Now tell me where my brother is and I'll promise not to kill you slowly." She finishes before the red mage begins to laughs. "Fools! You underestimate the Mages' Cult!" After the red mage yells out, all but the two statues closest to the alter take form of acual mages and begin to conjur up spells to send at the intruders. This will be a long battle fought.

 It worked. It really worked! They had fooled the Cathedral into letting them in. She peered back into the window like before and watched. Oooh…she was vulgar…and not too nice either. She had some guts demanding and threatening like that. That was sure bold of her.

The Siamese cat; on the other hand, interested her. The magic she used to defend herself earlier caught her eye. She was warned of this -magic-. It was something she had not yet witnessed, up until now anyway. But she could not resist to be dazzled by that sort of power. It was -different-, and that’s what amazed her.

Ack…that was new! The odds had just turned against the women she â€"supposedly- took the side of. More magic… All those statues now protecting -Mr. Big red, horrible fashion statement-? Now that wasn’t fair. How pathetic. Did he not have balls to fight himself? Or did he feel too â€"All high and mighty- to be bothered with what he thought to be â€"low level fighters-?

She watched intently, sill remaining completely out of sight and mind. A grin sat upon her face. Eager to see the outcome, she twitched with impatience. But she controlled her urges quickly as she did not need to be discovered, not now anyay.

 Snarling in surprise, Artemis shoots a death-glare at the panda. "You just HAD to piss them off!" She growls, whipping off the cloak and tossing it by her feet. "Ok, boys..." She starts, extended her claws and shaking them slightly to make them a deep, blood-red color. "That all you got?" She taunts, tail whipping.

 Yin's eye's widen when a few bolts of lightning are sent in her direction. She dives to the side and incidentally runs into Artemis. At that very moment, a few fire and ice balls were headed at where Artemis was standing and where Yin is now standing. The spells then fizzle right before they were about to strike Yin down. Yin remains dumbfounded as the Red Mage yells out, "Bah! What are they doing with our protective cloaks?!" Yin's smile covers her face as she glances at Artemis, "Artie, put the cloak back on. You're gonna enjoy this." Yin states before lunging back into the fray.

 Jeeze, she was clumsy too. They must not know the meaning of teamwork. She sighed without a sound and shook her head. Could they be anymore uncoordinated? Oh well, it was still entertaining to watch.

The spells dissolved! Talk about irony. Having their own cloaks used against them must suck. They had better know how to defend themselves without their precious magic.

Eager to step in, she just sat there and fidgeted, refraining from assisting. She would help later, if she must. Hmmm, better make that a yes. She couldn’t just miss out on any of this. That would be like torture. But not now. Not yet. When the time was right for her, she would enter.

 Artemis' bright blue eyes blinked in surprise as the magic fizzled and died before it touched the cloak. Smirking, she scooped up the cloak and flung it on in a single, fluid movement. "Well well, look what the cat dragged in..." She crooned; dashing in the direction of the nearest spell-caster, ears laced firmly, teeth bared and claws reddened and ready. Man was this going to hurt. With her first swipe, she tore into the Mage's shoulder, sending waves of intense heat into his nervous system. With another swipe, she silenced him by slicing open his throat with a single claw - neat, quick and very effective.

 As Artemis tears through the mages, no blood is spilled at all. Their embodiments merely vanish, leaing only their cloaks. Yin has her own means of bringing them down. She jumps up, plants a foot on one's chest, flips back, and lands her foot on another's face. As soon as she hits the ground, Yin jumps back up, doing a roundhouse kick to three more mage faces. When she lands, she comes down closer to the ground, continuing her spin and pulling a leg sweep to trip up the mages around her. She then comes back up, continuing her spin and using her ankle long braided pony tail to lash a few more faces. When she finally stops, Yin brings her hands up to her head and stumbles around a bit. "Whoa! I should do that more often. What a trip!" She adds before shaking her head and looks around for her next victims.

 "Bravo." Artemis muses. "No, its my turn." Glancing around, she spots a mage standing there, searching. Dashing towards him and leaping, feet scraping against his skull, she mutters a quick "Allez oop..." and jumps, twisting in the air, sending waves of intense heat to every mage in the area, heat that would kill if in contact for long enough - but otherwise leave most harshly injured.

 "Jeez, Artie! I knew you were hott, but that was rediculous!" Yin states half-jokingly. The Red Mage become infuriated and holds his hand out saying, "Enough!" The rest of the mages that were still conscious or still alive suddenly vanish, leaving their cloaks. The Red Mage then walks around the podium and glares at Yin and Artemis. "You two have caused far more trouble with the Mages' Cult than any others all put together. No one has dared to cross paths with the Cult, but now you two cross the line. And for what? A mere panda boy? Someone you know nothing of what power he has?" Yin gets a bit agitated with the Red Mage ruining a bit of her fun and she then begins to yell at him, "That mere panda boy is my brother! And I know good and well of his power. He's a weakling and without me, he would be a lost cause." The Red Mage begins to laugh. Yin stops for a second and the mage continues. "That's where you are wrong. Ever since 'His' arrival into our lands, we have been observing him. We know of the destruction he has caused the jungle and we wish to utilize his abilities to further our powers." After the mage's statement, Yin begins to laugh uncontrollably. She knows good and well who he is really talking about and she can't get anything out through the laughter. The Red Mage is now vastly confused for the sudden reaction.

 She watched the fight intently. The women preformed nifty feats of acrobatics along with their martial arts. Mage after mage was taken down by the two. Each had their own special style it seemed. The Cat with her -unique- razor claws and the Panda with her brute force.

Mr. Red was getting agitated. They proved a nuisance to him and he couldn’t stand it. Her ears perked at the sudden voice. The minions vanished. One swift command and they were gone! He -was- getting pissy. What? The fighting had halted? What’s this; they were exchanging words instead of blows now.

Explanation usually was- a good thing, but it was -so- boring. Well, now she knew something was up. The Panda Girl’s hysterical laughter hinted to some unknown fact that would make the captive useless to the mages. But what? Now she too was left out. She wanted more enlightenment. She couldn’t stand to be left in the dark.

 Artemis snarled, retracting her claws with a soft 'shnikt' sound. Her ears laced back somewhat. "And that panda boy is...I...well; ugh." She grumbled; obviously not really taking the red mage seriously. "Besides...he didn't seem the type to go all...destructo..." She stated through clenched, sharp teeth.

Yin slightly calms down from her laughter and barely manages enough to say what's on her mind. "You don't know how wrong you are about Yang. Well, in a way you are half right. You see Yang is only half of the fusion that's used to create the panda you speak of. I am the other half. Although, I am not here to hold your hand and help you out in your power crazed schemes. I am here for my brother. Now hand him over or I'll leave you far worse than just a cloak on the ground." The Red Mage become intrigued by this insight but he also feels insulted by the she panda's words. "You are bold. But I pity your integrity." The mage states before raising a palm at Yin. She just stands there and half laughs. "Stand back, Artie. He can hurt me with this cloak on." The Red Mage smirks before sending a fireball at Yin. It nails her in the chest and she flies back into the wall. A bit of the wall then crumbles over her. Yin reaches a hand out of the rubble and she can barely be heard, "Your... turn,... Artie..." Her hand then falls limp and she no longer makes any movement in the crumpled wall.

 Her words are stumbling over the Panda boy. That must be why she is here. She holds back a giggle at who she knows as -Artie-. One can only assume by her reaction why she can’t get out what she wanted to say.

Her attention immediately shifted her interest back to the seemingly cocky Panda girl as she started to explain the situation with her laughter dieing. A fusion?! Two beings that could bond their body’s and become one, increasing the output of the new individual. That truly caught her curiosity.

-Big Red- seemed fascinated, but then shrugged it off without a care. Uh oh, is he about to strike? He is! Her eyes widen as the orb of fire slams into the Panda, propelling her backward. Se covers her eyes as the crack and crumble was heard from the impact with a nearby wall. Of course, why wouldn’t the leader have power over lower servants? His magic could penetrate the inferior black cloaks. Oh well.

A loud bang was unexpectedly heard as the â€"Big Red Bitch’s- head kicks back and his limp carcass smacks the ground with a loud thump. If you follow the source, you would find this small girl stanced ever so calmly on an upper balcony-like ledge inside the Cathedral. Right between the eyes, very impressive aiming. She smiled happily as her weapon pointed upward, barrel smoking with steam from the heat of shot.

She then lowered her firearm and cocked back the upper pin. She placed it at her side and waved at any responses below. Her ears perked and her tail stood happy as her grin continued.

 Artemis' ear simply twitches as the panda is crushed into the wall. Sure; she felt a bit of compassion for the other anthro - but was never one to show it. Nodding at Yin's statement, she crouches - poised to leap. She nearly falls on her face, blinking comically as she rightens herself, as the mage is killed. "Hey - It was my turn." She stated, glancing up to the balcony, where the girl stood. "Hey --!?"

 She giggled slightly with her hand behind her head. She shrugged her shoulders in apology, interrupted by a voice of the dead. He lived?! The bastard pulled himself to his feet and threatened her. Now that was uncalled for. She knew better that to threaten someone, especially if you might underestimate them.

As soon as his hand met her position, she felt something coming. Her ears twitched and her eyes widened. As fast as that bolt of lightning if not faster, she aimed her weapon and pulled the trigger. The pin released and a small turbine began to spin. Within that instant, the upper chamber snapped forward with a boom. A condensed black energy fired, spiraling into the lightning, right before her arm.

On contact, the magic was vaporized along with the shell and she was sent back with immense recoil from the close range of the explosion. She stepped forth and gazed back down at â€"Little Red Riding Bitch- with a hint of laughter in her eyes. Her heart raced. Was that all? His attack failed. She sure showed him. She smiled cheerfully, without a word and just stood there.

Snarling, she crouches and, in the moment that the mages back is turned, she pounces, claws extended and rapidly heating, landing on his back. Her legs attahced aroun dhis waist, her arms around his shoulders. "Yee haw..." She mused as she attempted to drive her fire-hot claws into his throat.

 The Red Mage becomes a bit annoyed with the cat on his back and he merely smiles under the hood of his cloak. He reaches straight up and awkwardly streches his arm around his back to grab Artemis by the throat. He rips her grasp from himself and swings her around in front of himself and begins to chuckle. "Do you honestly think it would be that easy?" He mocks before unnaturally streching his arm across the room, slamming Artemis' back against the wall, still grasping her by the throat. Yin suddenly catches the mage offguard by slamming her leg into his face. His head is violently jerked back and he drops Artemis, retracking his arm back to normal. "You still haven't answered my question! Where the hell is Yang?!" Yin yells, practically at the Mage's face.

 Although she had cat ears and tail, she was still human formed. That Artie was some ball of fire. Just like a cat. That looked quite painful until she was stopped in her tracks. Whoa! That was some retaliation. Like rubber, his arm grasped her throat and turned the table.

Poor Artie. That seemed a little too unfair for her, getting tossed and all. Then Miss Panda stepped in abruptly. She seemed peeved at the Mage’s neglect to answer her. But who knows what kind of advantages he had over them. Better safe than sorry.

She then cocked the upper pin once more. She waited for a special opportunity, hoping there would be one. She needed a clear shot for this one, otherwise… Just in case, she clicked and cocked a second pin. One on the bottom this time. She just might have to make a plan B if needed.

I bet you few were wondering why your feeble attempts to bring me down have failed." The Mage continues before lowering the hood of his cloak. His skin seems dead and decayed. His pale bald head stands out because of the reddness of the cloak. There stands a lone bullet hole in his forehead. He is an undead mage. "My master is what's controlling me, but I control the rest of the mages. Mainly because they are all mere shadows." Yin is dumbfounded for once. For the first time, Yin has nothing to say.

 Eww, the Living Dead. Things like that were mere fables, where she came from anyway. She cringed slightly at the zombie. She felt a little creeped out buy this literal carcass that stood against them. She kept her weapon at her side until she sensed the right moment.

Heh, the hidden entrance. She almost forgot about that. She couldn’t help but giggle quietly. After all, she did know where it was; that is, if the others couldn’t locate it on their own.

Her ears twitched when the Panda’s stunned reaction hit and she pointed at The -Dead- Mage…or Red Mage. Either way, it rhymed. Three shots fired. Left chest, right chest, then between the eyes again. Each nailed the Mage dead on, with a backward jolt from every impact. She then pointed toward the ceiling as heat rolled off the barrel like before.

Ears laced, the feline seemed to have recovered enough to snarl viciously; mocking. "I dont care if your dead or not - we are getting him back." She spat; silver teeth glittering crudely. Oh yeah. Artemis was pissed. Flicking her tail; she vanished in tan smoke; reappearing behind the mage in black smoke. As if before she fully formed; her claws lashed out; raking the mage across the back - before she dissapeard again in tan smoke, reappearing where she originally was in black. Neat little pattern, eh?

 Shortly after the Red Undead Mage shakes off the shots fired at him, he recieves the blow to the back. He catches a glimpse of Artemis reappearing and becomes just as pissed as Artemis curretly is. "I have had enough of you pestilance! I will have to deal with you a different way!" The Mage yells out before waving his hands in an upward motion. At that moment, an airtight barrier forms over both Jamie and Artemis. A barrier where nothing can get in or out by any means. He plans to suffocate them. Yin finally manages to regain herself and glares at the Mage's doing. Her pupils shrink to almost nothing and she clenches her right left fist. "No..." Yin begins as her left fist lights up into a black flame. Something that not even Yin knew she could do. She slowly stalks towards the Mage as her red colored eyes begin to glow. "Nooo...!!" She yells out before dashing forward and flaming her black flaming fist into the side of the Mage's head. His head flies to the other end of the cathedral, while his body limps to the ground. The barriers around Artemis and Jamie disappate, allowing them to breathe once again. Yin's fire dies down and her eyes turn back to normal as she too limps to the ground, only through lack of energy though.

 Hmm, bullets didn’t seem to faze him; better try the next level. Artie went poof! Very unusual attack. Teleportation, interesting. She wanted to know more about Magic with each technique she saw. How much more could the Red Mage get angry? What could he possibly do next?

What’s this?? A barrier? Distracted, she reaches out to touch the bubble when it suddenly fades away. She heard the Panda yelling and turned her attention toward a headless Mage and a collapsed Panda girl. Aww, she missed it, dang. But was he really dead this time?

She leapt down from her perch, landing softly and quietly. She stood and started slowly over to the others. She still wasn’t too confident with getting close yet. She contemplated some possible outcomes as she had yet to reach too close. After all, he was already dead. What’s to stop him now? She shivered slightly a just the thought of the undead, never actually witnessing the real thin before.

 As the force-filed type thing surronded her and the surprise ally, Artie panicks; thrusting herself at the field - only to find it gone. She stumbles from the lack of a solid, and falls to her side; hissing through clenched teeth as she rose, shaking herself. Large blue eyes blink in surprise as the head crashes bodiless into the other side of the building. "Daaammn..." She exclaimes out of lack of anything else to say.

 Yin struggles to stand with what little energy remains in her body. She shakes her head and looks towards the others. "I guess there is a little something hidden deep within me." Yin manages just before the Red Mage's body rises up and grabs Yin by the throat and lifts her off the ground. The head at the other end of the cathedral begins to speak. "That was very impressive, but that was still a lost attempt. It is a lost cause to try and slay an undead, because I am already dead." Yin tries to struggle, but her energy is far too depleted. Now she is barely struggling to breathe.

 She snarled in a deep, savage tone; giving most the sudden thought of what it would feel like to have teeth meeting at their throats. Sky-shaded eyes held no emotion as she advanced to the disembodied head. "Tough words coming from something in two pieces." She hissed violently; her mouth half open as she picks up the head - digging her red-hot claws into the scalp. "I may not be able to kill you but I can make you live through a world of pain." She growls darkly, mysteriously seductive in her own, unique feline way. Her tongue flicks over her teeth, which are shown due to the half-open jaws of the anthro, as if drawing attention to those spikey little devils that reside in her mouth.

 Observing Artie, she sniggered in amusement. She seemed a little claustrophobic. But she didn’t complain; everyone has faults. Ack, he’s still kickin’! She stared in astonishment at the body assaulted the Panda girl after its beheading. She started off in her direction when the head suddenly spoke from across the room where it lied.

Eek, now that’s just creepy. This -thing- refused to rest in peace! How cumbersome. Her ears twitched once again. She halted and reversed herself abruptly, facing the head that Artie now held. How annoying. Why won’t you die?! She frowned in frustration as she slid backward as she came to a stop.

She lifted her weapon and pulled the trigger. A deep thud sound was heard, deeper than the rest. Splat, right into the temple. The bullet wedged itself in as it barely missed Artie from her angle. That slug sounded flat and large. Something heavy, used for a different purpose.

The eyes rolled back into the head as it gurgled faintly. She covered her eyes in uneasiness, knowing the outcome of her act. The head then shook violently. She cringed. Boom! The head exploded. Whatever leftover brain tissue or blood remaining now covered Artie’s front side.

She peeked out through her arms and gazed at the outcome. She lowered her arms and gave a look of apology, remaining unspoken. She gave a small smile, feeling awful that she had just embarrassed Artie.

 The Mage's body finally limps to the ground, releasing Yin. The panda girl is fully unaware of what has just occured, but is fully greartful that she can breathe again. Words and actions aren't important to her for the moment. She decides to lay there to gather her strength and energy.

 With a muffled snarl of horror, Artie finds herself covered in reddish, fleshy goo. "Ugh..." She grunts, as soon as she clears away an area by her mouth with the back of her hand. She shakes herself frantically, eventually giving up on ridding herself of the substance. And she was NOT about to lick it off, either. Shifting towards Yin, she sighs. "We better find Yang..." She states; looking quite comical with her fur in an odd, red tone.

 She giggled, trying not to be offensive. She couldn’t help it. Artie looked silly, she just had to laugh. She turned back and headed off toward the Panda. She stood over her head with her hands on her knees with a silly smile as the Panda girl lied there exhausted.

She held up what appeared to be a peace sign with her fingers. Wow, these women were strange. But they sure are fun to hang out with. What could possibly happen next? What terrors would they face after they passed the hidden entrance? â€"If- they passed the hidden entrance.

Yang was it? Is that the Boy Panda’s name? The one that Artie stuttered over? The one she was possibly in a relationship with? Hmm, interesting. Wait. The abilities the Panda girl just showed…doed her brother hhace them too? And the Fusion…she really wanted to witness that.

 Yin finally sat up and looked over towards the little girl with cat ears and a tail. She beams a smile back at the little girl with the words, "Too bad you're too young. I could have fun with you." Yin's mind is always in the gutter. Afterall, she is a sexaholic. She glances over in Artemis' direction and stiffles a laugh. "H-hey Artie! That's a good look for you!" Yin calls out. She then proceeds to stand up and scans the immediate area. "Now that undead bastard said something about the entrance to Yang's chamber is in this very room. Oh, yeah. It just had to be an enormous room. Finding Yang is going to take quite a while." She finishes, rubbing the back of her head.

 Well well, that was an unexpected offer. Though she might graciously accept, she refrained from any form of physical contact. She feared it for some reason. She still smiled happily at her words, blushing a bit. She stood back as The Panda girl rose and examined the great room.

She turned to Artie as she retorted agitatedly. She couldn’t help but be amused. She tried to contain herself at Artie’s tinted fur. She wasn’t one to be rude, but she was still a child. Every so often she glanced inconspicuously at the remaining statues.

 Yin noticed the statues that still remained in the room and it begins to make her wonder. "Ya know, it's pretty strange that these two statues didn't come to life when the others did. What do you think, Artie?" Yin questions as she approaches the one on the right side of the building, not knowing that the one on the left is the entrance to the Mage Cult underground basking. "You think they might have some sort of connection to something?" She finishes, inspecting the statue.

 Constantly attempting to scrape whatever guk she could off her pelt, she walked to the one of the left and rubbed her side agianst it, like a cat marking its territory. "Don't know." She stated, satisphied the job the rough surface of the statue had done on removing some of the more liquidized brains. Looking at the statue with an unblinking gaze, she tapped its surface with a single, curved cat-claw.

 She stood between the two statues, watching the Panda girl whose name she still didn’t know. She started to inspect the statues. She’s getting warmer. Too bad she’s on the wrong end of the fifty/fifty chance between the two. Anyway, it shouldn’t be a problem. The women seemed smart enough.

She then wandered on over to the left statue seeming to follow Artie. But not because of the statue. Maybe something else. She smiled cutely up at Artie as the Siamese cat cleaned herself on the cars chiseled stone. Her ears flickered and perked as her tail strayed back and forth cheerfully.

 Yin stands there as she scratches her chin. These two statues may serve as some significance to the so-called holding chamber, but how? A simple thought crosses Yin's mind and she simply shrugs. She then takes a few paces away from the statue and turns back around towards it. She finally dashes forward and leaps up to do a flying kick at the head of the statue, causing it to topple over and break a bit on the ground. Nothing. Just a stone base. She then looks over towards the remaining statue where the felines are. "Hmm... Hey, Artie! Back up a bit." Yin calls out before chaging at the statue. She pulls off the same flying kick to topple over the statue. Still nothing. Another stone base. "Damn... maybe somewhere else." She mumbles to herself as she begins to wander around again.

 She continued to hang around Artie as the Panda girl continued her investigation of the Cathedral. She turned in surprise to se the statue fall under the effort of that woman. Suddenly, she and Artie were warned as she came head on at the statue where they resided. Thud…the second statue hit the ground, crumbling like the first.

Well, she had the basic idea. Too bad the passage was literally under her nose and the statue’s base, not the statues themselves. She dodged effortlessly in the clear. She then walked through the leftover rubble ad hopped up on the base. She then had herself a nice seat, resting. Her feet dangled off the edge as she kicked back and forth, watching to see what would be tried next.

 Artemis barely had time to correct Yin with a practised yell of "Artemis." Before she sidestepped out of the way of the charging anthro. Blue eyes glint as she looks at the two, similar stone bases. "What if the entrance is under one of them?" She suggested; looking hard at the left one - hoiping to see a small gap, or something.

 "You may be right, Artie. There's surely only one way to find out." Yin notes as she stands over the left stone statue base. She then taps he foot on it. "Well, it doesn't sound hollow. Stand back, I have an idea." With her words, Yin jumps down from atop the stone base and crouches down before it. She slowly places her right fist on the stone surface and closes her eyes. Slowly, she raises her fist above the base and holds it in the air for a moment. With a "Haa!!" Yin brings her fist down onto the stone surface and it instantly cracks and folds inward. The two pieces of the two foot thick stone slab then fall into a newly discovered hole and slide down a spiral staircase that leads quite a ways down. Yin finally stands up, shaking off the pain in her right hand and glances at the two felinelike females. "Hurt like a bitch, but it's affective." Yin finishes as she slightly squints in pain.

 She observed their deductions as they got warmer. Then the Panda girl stepped forward with her next idea. Suddenly the stone platform was crumbled and the entrance was reveled. She smiled in congratulations, looking in the Panda girl’s direction.

Since that was now over, on to the next level! At this point she would be in the dark for clues as they were, as far as secrets anyway. She was still not your average thinker. She could possibly be of exceptional use if needed.

 She gazed into the hole. Wow, it was really deep. Very intense architecture. This stone palace of wonder was very impressive. She listened as Artie tried to volunteer, but was cut off by the Panda Girl’s abrupt leader-like persistence. It seemed the two only had one thing in common. This Yang person. Other than that, Artie didn’t seem to crazy about her partner.

As the Panda Girl dropped into the hole, she went next, before Artie could follow immediately. Unlike The Panda, she didn’t land on the staircase. She went straight down the empty center of the spiral. She quickly dropped out of view. Who knew if she’d make it to the bottom or not. Only one way to find out. If the others ever reach a bottom of some kind, they might find her…

 "Hey!" Artemis exclaimed as she was left behind. Snarling she swiped at the air with glistening claws, just above where the panda's head had been moments before. Fur brisling she stood on the edge; then calmly stepped in - crossing her arms in an 'x' over her body."Nine lives..." She mused, mostly to herself. Bright blue eyes that glittered in even the palest of light vanished as she closed her eyes; letting the shadows envelope her.

 She didn't actually hear Yin, for the wind was knocked out of the anthro as she landed on the shadowed ground on hands and knees with a rather audible THUD.

She groaned as she got up; rubbing her knees, her tail whipping weakly. "Allright....1 life down, 8 more to go..."

 Just as Artemis stands up, Yin comes sliding down the railing. Before anyone could react, Yin collides into Artemis and they roll across the ground a ways. "Ouch..."

 As the two collided and lie there, the kitten did not seem to be around. Where was she? Artie was there, but she wasn’t? As if out of thin air, she floated down gracefully and gently, landing on her feet. Almost no sound was heard as she appeared before them. She glanced at them as they lied there with her usual innocent smile.

How could she have managed to land after Artie? Oh well, she had her skills; even if they were somewhat unexplained. She waited patiently for the two to stand and continue the quest. She was in no hurry.

 Artemis bares her teeth and hisses sharply as she finds herself ontop of the panda. Barely managing to control herself, for the will to slash the Panda across the face was really much to strong, she leapt delicately backwards, landing crouched before rising and glaring darkly at the anthro. Her blue eyes blinked in comical surprise as the little girl seems to appear from no where; and with no sound at that.

 Her ears flickered and she watched the large doors open. She peeked inside at the massive stone maze that awaited them. Wow, it was kind of beautiful in architectural way. She slid past the two to get a closer look at their next challenge. She stood in the doorway and gazed down the Entry Hall. She was excited to start the next event now.

She turned back to the two with a joyful smile. Her tail swayed as she waited politely for someone else to take the lead. After all, it wasn’t her brother they were trying to rescue.

 "Well, you're half right with that statement, Artie. I'm not even half right. What makes you perfect?" Yin sneers with a snicker as she walks away from Artemis in a random direction. Even a sence of direction wouldn't lead them through the maze. Luck is everything at the moment.

Yang finally opens his blue eyes and finds himself in what appears to be a cage. He stands up and brushes himself off before looking around a massive room. The doorways at the far end seem like they could allow King Kong to walk through without any problems. The first thing that catches his eyes is a black cloaked figure, standing near a throne. "Ah, you are awake." The dark figure states as he slowly nears the cage. Yang bares his teeth and dashes forward to grab onto the bars of his cage. To his surprise, the bars are serged with electricity which gives him a sudden jolt and sends him back against the wall the cage is up against. The panda boy merely glares up at the figure and asks, "What do you want with me?"

 She sighed. Now was not the time to argue. These two proved to be immature sometimes in their own ways. She crossed her arms and shook her head, following not too far behind. As she walked, she began to feel uneasy. Not that she showed it much, but she felt something; something bad. She hid her feelings and tried to ignore it, trailing behind.

Suddenly, her ears twitched and her fur stood up on end. It wasn’t too noticeable, but she was bothered somehow. She became more discomforted every second. The symptoms began to show more. So she just stayed behind them, hoping to go unnoticed.

Dark ears twitched and her tail puffed up. Slowly, it soothed down - and there was Artie, hoping she had imagined it - highly sensitve features had picked up the slightest buzz of tampered-with electricity as it was activated, and no doubt sent traveling some distance through the ground.

 "Oh, really? If I'm so clumbsy, that would make my foolish brother just the same. Whenever Yang and I work as a team, we are near unstoppable. We are anything but clumsy. And no wonder you're always so stuck up, Princess. Cockiness is a major downfall, the way I see it." Yin's constant babble could provide for some major annoyance and she knows it. It's in her nature to be highly disliked. That's when a loud roar rings throughout the labyrinth. Yin stops as her eyes widen.

The cloaked figure stares out at Yang and smiles under the hood of his cloak. "To be honest, you are only half of what I want, Yang." The panda boy's eyes widen as he stands back up in the cage. "How do you know of my name?" Yang asks, lost in a bit of confusion. The cloaked figure nears the cage and crosses his arms behind his back. "I know a lot about you, Yang. I also know a lot about your dear sister, Yin. But most of all, I know of the fusion you two share. My means are to unite the two of you under my control, so that the Earth could easily be overthrown." Yang is tempted to reach out of the cage and punch the being, but recalls the hazardous bars. "You are mad! Yin and I could berely control Nubez. What makes you think you could?" The cloaked being nears the cage, closer than before and lowers the hood of his cloak to show Yang who he is. "Because I have the power to do so." Yang backs away from the bars of the cage, almost stumbling over himself as he stares at the Mage's face. "Y-you..." Yang finishes, seeming as if he's seen a ghost.

 Yin simply glares at Artemis as she continues to pick up the pace. "You ask as if I would know what the Hell that was." Yin barks at the figgity feline. Little did they know that the next corner they round could lead them to the hands of fate.

The Black cloaked mage flips the hood back over his head and stalks away from the cage. "I thought you would remember the face." The figure notes, nearing the throne in the room. "How are going to restrain my sister? She is by far, tougher than I." Yang asks as he slowly creaps away from the wall to keep his eyes on the being. The Black Mage laughs a bit before answering the question. "I do not intend on capturing her, for she is already falling deep into my trap." The dark being picks up a small remote off the arm of the throne and clicks a button towards the opposing wall of the room. An image appears of a bit of a maze. There appear to be three small red dots moving in the same direction on a certain path of the maze. There is also a much larger red dot moving towards the three smaller ones. "You see, Yang. She is already on her way here for you. It's only a matter of time before you two unite." Yang's eyes widen as he figures that the Mages' Cult is more powerful than expected.

 She listed to the two argue. They acted like children. It was kind of embarrassing. Having two grown women quarrel immaturely. She closed her eyes and shook her head again, still following behind. She still couldn’t get the bad feeling she had out of her head. It bothered her immensely. Her hands clenched her sleeves of her folded arms as she walked with her eyes closed.

She too heard the loud bellow of something. It sounded big, real big. Her eyes shot open at the sound as her fur stood up on end. It wasn’t fear; she was just startled from her mind being elsewhere. This was something, but it wasn’t what irritated her. There was something more, something worse.

 "At least Ms. Cocky shut up for once." Yin states, under her breathe. Even though she's still a little shaken up from the roar, Yin still has her cool to use against Artemis. It may not seem that way, but Yin enjoys the cat's company. She a bit depressed that Artemis likes Yang though. Could have been fun. The trio finally round the corner and Yin is the first to stop dead in her tracks. Apparently, the others haven't noticed yet. Before them, stands a twenty five foot tall minotuar with white, pupiless eyes and a wickedly massive battle ax in hand. He grunts once and steam seemingly pours out of his nostrils. The gold nose ring seems like it could fit around Yin's waist. "Yeah, well I believe we passed up a fork in the maze a ways back. Maybe that could be a shortcut to Yang." Yin states in her smart ass way before being the first to turn the other direction and high tail it out of there.

 Artemis flicks her tail in slight irratation at the bear's initial comment. Her 'hind' paws tap silently against the ground - and that's about when she too spotted the bull-like creature. Her ears flicked forward in alarm, and her muscles tense in a natural hunting instinct - but she too turned quickly; nodding her head. "Agreed." She grunted softly; hustling after the bear.

 Being behind the two, she noticed last, the entity behind the gargantuan bellow. It was true to its voice. As the two ran past in the opposite direction, she gazed up at the beast in wonder as well as shock. It did not look too friendly; and that weapon didn’t encourage friendliness.

She then realized the situation and snapped out of her stare. She broke eye contact with the monster and turned to face the others running off. She looked back at the giant then back at the two. She shrugged and followed after them with swift cat-like agility and speed, catching up fairly quickly. Her stomach still turned as the something still worried her. It was unusual for her to act like this. She seemed scared.

She stops after about twenty feet of passing the open passage to the doors and turns around to see the minotaur slide to a hault. "Wait a minute! I think I found the way to Yang." Yin announces to try and gain the felines' attention. "We have a twenty five foot problem to deal with though." The crazy bear continues as she glares at the hulking bull. Without much thought, Yin suddenly dashes towards the massive bull. The beast brings down his enormous weapon as Yin dives forward to avoid collision with the ax and rolls under the bull's legs. The minotaur jerks his ax out of the ground and slowly turns to watch Yin run off. "I'll distract him! You two try to find a way to open those doors!" Yin calls out as the minotaur hauls after her. Those may have been Yin's final words.

 Artemis sighed, shaking her head in annoyance. She knew she could have just teleported them all in...but no; Yin didn't ask, so the bear would have to deal with the bull while her claws worked at the doors.

"Easy enough." She snorted indignantly; shaking her hand until the odd, light, barely-audible sizling sound was heard and she lifted both hands to the door; resting her flaming, smoking claws on the material.

Pinning her ears, she watched as the doors twisted oddly away from the heat; as if the fibres that made it were fleeing from her magical, hotter-than-fire claws.

 The massive doors seized from their warping. They then glowed black as they regressed back to normal. The black aura concentrated on where Artie placed her hands. The aura exploded in a shockwave, repelling the feline instantly. The aura faded and the doors returned to normal.

She jumped back at the burst, bracing on her feet and one of her hands. Her other hand remained prepared as she froze there. Her hand in the air began to shiver and her ears tipped back in fear. She stared at the door with a frown as she calmed her breathing.

She glanced over and noticed a lever of sorts on the side of the doorway. Then she moved her eyes over and noticed a similar one on the opposite side. She stood up calmly, still with a slight twitch of nervousness. She knew what had to be done to release the doors, but she really did not have a good feeling about doing so. The evil she felt was strongest past the door. She took a deep breath and swallowed, then walked over to one switch and waited.

 Yin runs into a dead end as the minotuar closes in on her. She turns to face the beast with a simple thought running through her mind. 'Why the hell am I risking my life to allow some cats to rescue my brother?' The thought continues to run about her mind until her pupils shrink drastically. "Because I'm doing this for Yang!" Yin yells out loud as she dashes towards the Minotaur once more. This time, the bull swings the ax in an almost horizontal motion. Yin leaps forward into a flip and lands her palms onto the moving blade of the ax. She pushes off the blade with her arms just before it smashes into the wall and lands on the pole of the ax with her feet. The crazy bear finally runs up the pole, clenching her fist at the same time. "I'M DOING THIS FOR YANG!!!" Yin yells out again as her fist ignites into the black flame once more just before she leaps off the end of the pole of the battle ax. She pulls her arm back as the momentum throws her at the bull's face. With his hands still on the ax, the minotaur has very little time to react. Therefore, Yin slams her flaming fist into the minotaur's right eye, sending him flying back quite a ways. The ax remains stuck in the wall as Yin lands on the ground. Her flaming fist diminishes as she begins to approach the downed beast. "Guess I don't know my own strength. And I mean that literally." Yin states to herself while examining the massive bullman. The eye socket where the minotaur's right eye used to be is just steaming. The beast suddenly lifts his head to glare at Yin with his only good eye. Yin's eyes widen substantially before she begins to run again. The bull slowly staggers to his hooved feet.

 Artemis blinked as she was sent sprialling bewords some distance; bristling viciously. Breight blue eyes glitter in agitation as she barely refrains from scorching herself with her blazing claws. Retracting them with only slight pain, she sighs; watching as the younger feline walks to one switch - and then walks over to the other herself. She runs a lithe, paw-like hand over the lever-like switch; absently.

 She reached over to pull the switch, but right before her hand could make contact with it, both switches jerked down simultaneously, slamming to a halt in front of the two felines. They then retracted flush into the stone doorway with the noise of large gears clanking. A loud clunk followed by creaking was heard as the doors unbolted and began to open.

Inside was a long empty corridor with nothing along the ground. It was bare; only towering walls that connected to an arched ceiling. The walls were smooth and sleek all around. It was not possible to climb up anywhere. A black haze blanketed the icy floor as the temperature within was freezing. As you gaze across this eerie room, another set of doors sat at the other end, barely visible because of fog.

She froze as the lever did its thing and released the massive doors. She looked inside as her body shivered slightly. She saw the floor and stepped back. Something was definitely wrong now. Her hands trembled as the feeling she held shot up inside her. What was it?! She was -really- scared, but she didn’t have a clue why. Her body refused to enter and her mind was questioning everything. She couldn’t move.

 Just barely rounding the corner, Yin stands in relief that the others managed to open the doors. Why are they not inside though? That doesn't matter to Yin for the moment. What matters most is life. She continues to run at the others, grabbing onto their arms as she passes by. "No time to gawk! Life at stake!" Yin manages just before the minotaur rounds the same corner. This time, he appears to be missing his right eye. The eye socket is still currently steaming. Now the minotaur is unarmed for the time being. Yin enters the room with the two feline like girls and slides across the slick floor a bit. The massive bull-man continues to charge at the trio when the gears in the doors suddenly speed up and slam the double doors. The minotaur could be heard, running into the doors on the other side. The next challenge awaits...

 Sky-eyes glitter as they scan the door; but, before she knows it, Yin's hands grab her arm and drag the siamese felinoid being into the shrouding darkness.

The creature forcefully releases her arm from the panda's grasp; looking around - blinking as her eyes quickly adjusted to the different light.

Her slender extra appendige flicked as she rotated on the spot; scenting the air - tasting it, so to speak.

 She quickly pulled away from the Panda as they slid. She climbed to her feet carefully as the icy floor was difficult to maneuver on. The room was completely black as the doors shut behind them, locking tight. She worriedly searched around in the darkness. Her eyes corrected fast and she continued to see. The presence she felt seemingly attacked her body as it she was frozen by fear.

A small giggling was heard as the room echoed every sound eerily. Four Sprites emerged from the four corners of the mysterious room. Their aura was black and they glowed an iridescent purple, lighting the room just enough to see. They became silent and stared evilly at the intruders that stood before them, nearly centered in the room. They smiled as they glared down at them. Her eyes swept the room, watching each Sprite as she trembled more.

A black warp formed facing the three as a shadow entity crept out from within. It slowly molded into a Cloaked Being. It looked almost the same as the miniscule others the trio had faced. But it was different; the stitching and patterns along the lining of the cloak were more detailed and sleek. A deep chuckle was heard as it faded into reality. It felt as if the laughter pieced deep within your mind. Only a mouth could be seen from the face, smirking malevolently. Then all the face was black as the small stranger’s head shifted toward each trespasser. She crept behind Artie as the horrible thing she felt emanated from the creature before them.

 Yin just wanted to charge full fledged at the newer looking cloaked being, but stopped for a moment ot evaluate the situation. The laughter that echoed in her mind didn't help with her actions either. 'Hmm... If this is the task after the minotaur, then maybe it's not as easy as it seems. I think I'll just let Artie make the first move, just in case.' Yin thinks to herself. She turns to Artemis with a slight smirk and takes a step back. "Go ahead, Artie. I insist." Yin states, pretending to be polite enough to allow Artemis to make the first move.

 Artemis' slender brown tail flicked in a steady beat as she gloered at the newest cloaked...thing with glittering eyes. One foot after the other; she creapt forward until she noticed the 'kitten' behind her; and stopped - one ear tilted back towards the fellow feline as if execting to hear an explanation.

Instead her pointed, highly sensitive ears pick up on Yin's...proposal. And so, nodding lazily, the cocky, egotistical excuse for a feline extends her siver claws, shaking her hands to heat the fatal talons up, and crouches.

In a moment, the cat is in the air, much like a lioness pouncing. Her body is held in a perfectly straight line, her fore-'paws' held infront of her, her hinds straight behind - her tail horizontally ridgid. Ears laced, eyes gleaming and teeth bared; the goddess of the hunt sices through the air, landing niftily on the most recent challenge's torso.

 The small, five foot -thing- waited contently, watching the three. How gracious of Yin to let Artemis show her what she’s up against. His unseen face remained forward as the now lunging feline began her assault. He did not threat her. She is just a sheer waste of his time. How sloppy; attacking so recklessly. This feline was pitiful. He kept his gaze toward the remaining two as the cat came ever closer.

To Artemis’s surprise, an empty cloak engulfed her as she rolled right through the being and onto the slippery floor. The creature was gone; the cloak was empty and tangled around the disgraceful feline. Suddenly the black mist along the ground began to sting. It felt like a small burning sensation. It wasn’t painful; it just tingled. It fed off energies. It began to slowly absorb the intruders’ life-force, draining them of strength.

The mind bending chuckle was heard once more from nowhere and everywhere. A voice began to speak with the three individually. It spoke a foreign tongue and reverberated intensely. It spoke differently to each, communicating deep within their souls, opening up paths to their darkest secrets and fears. It flooded their minds with their own suppressed or forgotten feelings or memories, attempting to break down their will and maybe inform itself more about them.

 Yin smirks as Artemis tumbles across the ground with the cloak. She claps her hands, stating, "That's why you send in a test dummy to evaluate the situation." Yin's smirk disappears when she becomes a little dizzy an feels a bit weaker. Then her mind decided to play tricks on her. Everything fades out from her view and becomes pitch black. The panda drops to her knees and holds them against her chest. She's now experiencing her greatest fear. The fear of being alone.

 Unlike the previously mentioned potential ungracefullness of the feline, she actually handeled the situation quite well, considering. She daintiy flung off the coak after a brief scuffle with it, with involved her clas aimlessly shredding at the unique material. Her hind-pas' claws clicked lazily against the slippery terrain, effortlessly clinging.

Well; what do you expect from an all-graceful feline? Now matter how unorganized she seemed; if she focused herself, though that alone was rare, she was as powerful as the next felis sapien...or in that case, ursa sapien - singular, of course.

She scowled darkly at the bear as she made her comment; but soon the cloaked-thing's power affected her. She resisted powerfully. Her mind, after years of self-training, had become incredibly strong. But she slowly slipped into a state, much like a trance, her eyes blank and distant - her forcefully forgotten history beind dragged to the front of her mind.

 Her mind was probed, but due to unforeseen circumstances, she had no memories of more than a week ago. It was blank, as if she was just born. It prodded harder at her mind, digging deeper. It searched for anything, but found nothing; only current memories with the Panda and Cat. Apparently she had no real fear either. She had yet to learn what she feared it was overly vague and unformed within her.

She plopped to the ground, clutching her head with her eyes closed tight. The venomous mist affected her further as more of her body came in contact with it. Suddenly, the mist was pushed from her being. There was an empty circle of clearance around her body as the mist was kept at bay. She was tired. her small body was drained quickly, but she still fought to keep in control.

 The cloak rose from the floor and the entity stood once more, still completely guised by the blackness. He resumed his mental torture and stared at the small feline girl. This was way too easy. Or so it seemed, but this young one was abnormal. What was she? He was fascinated. She was able to hold off the mist. She was very unique, but not part of His main goal. The Panda is who He required, for now anyway.

He moved his invisible gaze over to the entranced Artemis, smiling behind his mask. She had a lot to hide, but it was unimportant. Information about her and Yang was helpful though. He turned to Yin as her mentality was broken. Acquiring the more vital information, He released only her from her fear. He stood before her on the floor and extended his hand to her.

The voice spoke to her again. But this time it was understandable. It offered her freedom and happiness. It asked if she wished to escape this world…all she had to do was accept His hand, his offer. As for Artemis; a second voice whispered questions. Painful questions and then hypothesized degrading answers, tormenting her further. It was warring at her mental strength, trying to push her.

 Yin merely glowered at the cloaked being. The darkness has seemingly faded and everyone else has reappeared. What a dirty trick. "You know," Yin begins, standing up, "I'm perfectly fine with the world I'm currently in. All I have to say about you is, F*CK OFF!!" Yin, at this point, is a little peeved about what has happened as of late. This little bastard isn't helping to subdue her rage any. Her left fist then ignites into its black flame once more. Without any thought, Yin instantly swing her flaming fist at the cloaked being.

 Artemis' muscles trembled under neath of coat of still stained fur; the coat of thin bristels rippling violently.

She slashed at her ear, with claws retracted at the moment, shaking her very human skull.

"Get out of my head!" She snarled; teeth jarred together; pissed off something fierce.

Her tail whipped violently as she fought the internal war; closing her eyes, opening them - gleaming blue, the way she looked when she felt unbridled rage - only she couldn't do anything about it at this very moment.

 As soon as Yin’s fist burst in flame, it quickly dwindled and extinguished. The mist absorbed the expelled energy rapidly. It was useless to power up in the mist; it was best to suppress your energy rather than use it. The mist digs to feed; if energy is used, it is soaked up easily. His smirk was unseen until Yin’s empty fist swung past His face. He cut promptly to avoid the collision as she skimmed his cheek.

The hood was pulled from His face revealing a young Elf about the age of fifteen. The smirk remained on his face as her arm passed him by, rubbing across His cheek. Faded florescent green eyes stared deeply. He bared teeth through His smile as a wild flame burned brightly in his eyes. He was perfectly sane, but occasionally demented. His glare looked almost psychotic.

His wicked stare dulled. He placed his hand upon Yin’s upper chest, below her neck, to calm her slightly. His hand was clear of her bust so not to start something unwanted. He then felt Artemis’s tremble and released her mind from the suffering He provoked. Something unusual convinced him to refrain from warping her mind further. No matter, He still had his objectives. He continued to calm Yin maybe with some mental aid.

As Artie was freed, something cold and metal was put to her back. It was the small feline girl. Her gaze was blank. She held her weapon pointed at Artie as if her mind was not there. The mist did not seem to affect her now. It seemed as if the malevolent creature had control over her. The Sprites smiled as they watched intently. Their master was in control. They seemed to love the violence.

 As Yin is somewhat subdued, thoughts begin to trail through her head. Thoughts about herdelf and her brother. Thoughts about how they always got into fights and squabbles with each other. And thoughts of how much Yin loves her brother. At that very moment, the mind that was mentalling invading Yin's mind was suddenly forced out and her pupils shrink to almost nothing. Yin's red eyes begin to glow and now both of her fists ignite into black flames. With that sudden burst of energy, an akward aura forms around the panda girl, causing the black mist to retreat away from her person. "YANG!!!" Yin yells out as she slams the end of her palms together and spreads her fingers as far apart as possible. With her palms aimed at the elven boy's chest, she glares at him in fit of rage and release a black beam of fire at him. This is as pissed Yin can get.

 Artemis' ears fickered as she was releaed; the glow in her eyes dyeing down dramatically. As soon as she feels the cold hard material of the girl's weapon, however, she freezes up - turning her head slightly, so the girl was in her field of visison. Noting the fact that the kitten didn't seem to be at home, so to speak, she sighed darkly.

"This is not my day." She grunts through teeth, grinded together out of irratation.

And so, the anthro starts to chant. Yes, chant. Her words were mumbled and slurred together, but some were clear enuogh for those listening to hear. "Corsair of the wood, relieve my vunerability. Take my tan pelt into a state of hidden luxury." She hisses; her body flickering in and out of vision as if being absorbed into the shadows.

 Surprised by Yin’s second wave, He took the flaming beam to the chest and skidded back slightly. He kept his smile as He hid his astonishment completely. His cloak singed as he stood hunched. He straightened himself as the black heat fizzled from his tattered robes. He dusted himself off and applauded teasingly with his cocky grin.

Still facing Yin, his eyes moved over to the chanting feline. She may have been fading from sight, but he could see her plain as day. Shadow was one of his specialties even though a lot of evil things were. The young feline gazed over at him, unable to see the feline. With a small nod from him, she turned her aim at Yin. His hand went to his sides as he curled his fists. He still remained unserious as if this battle was nothing to him, which it probably was.

Suddenly, mimicking Yin, his hands burst into Black flame. But this energy made Yin’s seem feeble. He turned to where he knew Artemis was and placed his palms together. His teeth bared again with his evil smirk and he separated his fingers. With that, he fired the more powerful version of Yin’s attack straight at the sly Siamese Cat.

 Yin was highly unprepared for the reaction she got from the young dark elf. It threw her even more off guard when he began to use her attack against the feline that apperantly wasn't there. If Yin knew her attacks well enough, she would know what would happen under certain points. She instantly dashes over into the path of the fire beam and hold out her flaming palms in the same fasion. This time, she catches the dark elf's attack. The force pushes her back a bit as she struggles to hold it back. Finally, Yin throws her arms to the side and the beam goes cascading towards the gun, pointed at her back. Mainly the little cat girl. Yin stands there, breathing heavily and trying to maintain her ground. She barely manages to raise her hand to flip off the elf boy.

Hissing violently; she swipes at the air from behind the young elven male, sending white hot fire scratch-marks cascading towards the elf, in attempts to catch him off guard, equally as powerful as the previously used black-flame via Yin.

 The small girl evaded the beam easily. The Panda Aimed at her. Her mind was still awake inside and the Panda tried to kill her. She felt uneasy, but her body did not show it. Her ears twitched as Artie reappeared behind Him. Ignoring Yin completely, his eyes tilted to the side as he knew the Cat would be, keeping his head facing Yin. Her attack came right for him, but he did not hesitate.

A loud bang was heard as a spiraling bulled interjected, nullifying the white fire instantly. An explosion was created inches behind him. He did not like the white fire, so why not stop it with some other projectile. She stated blankly at the older Feline, aiming at her once more. He walked casually up to the disgruntled Yin. The symbol she held up to him was unusual. He had never seen it before, but he knew basically what she meant by it.

He slapped her cheek with a small frown before smiling again. Thinking to himself, he was dumbfounded. No matter what he did, he could not get the small girl to speak. But he never showed any signs of agitation or weakness. He always kept his cool unless he was being sarcastic. She shook her head, signaling to Artie not to move or she would have to shoot.

 Yin knows good and well that her black flame isn't lethal, even if it were powered up. She tried to use that to her advantage and merely render the controlled one unconscious. Her attempt was in vein. Nevertheless, Yin never gives up in a fight, no matter how pointless. Then the elf boy slaps her. How insulting. This infuriates Yin as she clenches her teeth. She swings a right hook hard at his face. She doesn't care if it misses at this point, she has a follow up just in case it does.

 The fist came fast. He caught a glimpse as it planted into his cheek. He was knocked off balance, stumbling backward. In his current state, his body was weak against physical strength. He caught himself before falling and wiped an indigo substance from his mouth. He stared at his own blood momentarily and moved his attention back to the temper prone Yin. He felt pain but disregarded it with his arrogant smirk. He never showed weakness to the enemy. He was too proud.

With that, he signaled to the kitten mentally. His gaze remained connected to Yin. She squeezed the trigger. But before it made contact, she hesitated. Her hand wavered as the weapon shook faintly. She released the trigger. She closed her eyes and grit her teeth, resisting as hard as she could. Her eyes became teary, struggling unbearably. She would not, could not shoot Artie. He broke contact with Yin and watched the small one. He frowned, staring at her amazing resistance.

With her last bit of strength, she swung her firearm at the Elf and opened her wet eyes. His eyes widened at her retaliation. She fired at the same time he braced with his arm out in front. The bullet made contact and imploded. A vortex of compressed energy was released, creating a tremendous vacuum. His eyes lit up in a green glow. Shuddering from the pressure, his hand closed into a fist. He wrestled the blast at it suddenly collapsed into itself.

The glow dissipated and an infuriated look came upon his face. She fell to the ground, sitting on her knees. She held her weapon limp with her arms, crying silently. He clenched his fists, glaring at her as she sat there in pain. His lower arm was dark as the vortex caused his blood to rush to his hand and blister it with bruising. He then headed toward her, walking slowly with anger building up.

 He glared at Artemis as she dared to stand before him and protect -that- girl. He raised his arm, but was immediately interrupted by Yin’s assault. The blow made contact with the side of his lower jaw. His small body was sent some distance, but he recovered quickly. He stood and his eyes glowed once again. He ignored Yin and continued toward the protecting Artemis.

She wiped her eyes and reached out and clung to Artie’s clothes as she defended her. She stayed quiet. She never spoke or made a sound. He mind was really fragile now. She was completely vulnerable and scared. This was not something she was used to.

 Now that Yin is being ignored, she becomes a bit angered by this. Sure, she could very well take advantage of that, but she hates being ignored more than anything. 'She rushes at the elf boy to slam her elbow into the side of his head and leaps up for a spinning leg drop to drop the elf to the ground.' A smirk appears on Yin's face as she thinks about what this attack could do. So, she races for the elf to attempt this very attack.

 Artemis' tail ent ridgid as her eyes folloed the movement of the elf, head swaying slightly - eyes never leaving him, almost entranced - like a cobra watching a snake-charmer.

Sharp teeth were clenched as she awaited his approach eagerly; extended claws digging deep into the ground and heating quicky - muscles quivering in eagerness - the eagerness to split the elfs stomache and drag her claws straight up to his neck and severe the jugular.

That was, off course, providing she made contact.

Which, being her, she wasnt to concerned about at the moment. Besides...if she died, who cared? Not like anyone really knew her.

 He turned at the sight of Yin’s attack. An invisible barrier caught the panda and pitched her hard into the wall. The pressure increased as she was pinned and the wall began to fracture around her body. For the split second she took her eyes off the feline, her assault had commenced. She made contact, splitting open his front side all the way to his neck.

The indigo colored blood sprayed from his being as his small body was lifted into the air with the upward drag off her claws. With an enraged look in his eyes, Artemis was flung straight into the kitten. Just before the stress on Yin’s body was fatal, she was released from the wall and dropped to the floor. He landed from his aerial state as blood poured out and down his chest. He stood frozen as if in a state of shock.

She knows that her own attack failed, but she's glad enough that it distracted the elf long enough to allow Artemis to intervene. Victory is so close, yet so far.

 Artemis hisses tirumphantl;y only to be literally swept of her feet. She gets thrown backwards, tripping over her slender feet in uncharacteristic ungracefullness. He tan-and-black body is thrust against the kitten before Artemis scrambled to her feet; tail whipping as she pinned her ears - looking grimly at the bloody elf.

 The kitten sat up and recovered her balance. She gazed over at what Artie had done and her eyes widened. There was the Elf, covered in his own blood. He stood there aimlessly as if in a state of trance. She still made no sound, not even at the sight she saw. He stared at her blankly. It was a very uncomfortable feeling and chills went down her spine and tail.

She reached out to tug on Artie’s clothes, but stopped. Her mind had calmed down and she eased off. She wiped the remaining tears from her face as she sat behind Artie. She then started to daze. She felt weird. Something wasn’t right. She heard and sensed things she never had before. It was an awkward sensation.

 Artemis shifted her weight; her fur raised as if seeing a ghost. She seemed to dare the wounded elf forward; flicking an ear back and forth. Slender tail flicked hypnotically as she hissed through clenched cat-teeth. She was all to ready to finish the job with white-flaming claws, if the elf had indeed, miraculously, survived.

 He stood there almost dead. A grin crept up on his face as he stared at Artemis blankly. The grin became psychotic and his eyes widened. The blood continued down his being, but he remained. His body shook and twitched as he inhaled and exhaled carefully. His breathing was heavy, but he still remained.

He stood limp; his fingers flickered in shock as he flexed them in and out slowly, still gazing into Artemis. The four Sprites remained silent. They kept the room lit, watching intently at their wounded master.

 No, she did not miss her mark. The blow was indeed fatal. Just the prerequisites were not completely met. Under the circumstances, he would die, but he would not be dead. Or would he? He could not move. His body was traumatized. The bleeding began to slow and the blood became thick, clotting around him. His vision blurred slightly and his body swayed very lightly. But he continued his gaze, looking right through Artemis as his grin faded. He still had a small smile as he continued the standoff.

She shivered more at the sight before her. The creature, the Elf, remained. The showdown he gave was fearsome. You could feel the intense aura from just his mind. It was incredible. He was unlike anything. She began to freak out somewhat. The energy he emitted was starting to scare her more. Something was really, really, really wrong. She then subconsciously proceeded and held onto Artie once more. Her hand shook with fear.

 Yin has finally regained enough strength to stand on her own. To her surprise, the elf still lives after that fatal attack. Perhaps this being is immortal. There's only one way to find out. Yin rushes at the elf and quickly wraps her arms around him from behind. "Artie! Finish it!" Yin yells, trying to signal Artemis, before it's too late.

 She slowly detacheed herself from the kittens grasp -watching as the elf seemed to silently mock her. Her claws flared as her rage mounted - and as soon as Yin had him she darted forward, leaping and clinging to his front, closing her eyes and actually biting his throat, four sets of searing hot claws scrabling blindly in his skin as they fought for a hold on the elf.

She was a primal fighter - weapons ment nothing, tooth and claw were everything.

 The Panda was brave. He hardly defended himself. She did not have to fight to hold on. She called out to Artemis. He kept his dieing gaze on Artemis. That’s right. Let your anger unleash its wrath. Show this tattered body your rage. The claws dug deep into the flesh, burning violently. Then her bite; she clamped his throat with anger, with the irresistible urge to tear him apart.

That malevolent smile came over his face as she bit down. His pupils dilated as his eyes widened. His blood entered her mouth and absorbed into the pores unnoticed. What was he trying to accomplish? The look of success gleamed in his face and he closed his eyes. His pulse slowed beat by beat and finally stopped.

The arched ceiling began to chip and flake. A crack spit down the middle. The temperature within the freak room fluctuated. You could hear the crackling as the icy ceiling began to crumble. The room shook and dust and ice fell from above where the two held the Elf. The floor fractured and steam spit from the ice.

The four sprites were frozen. They could only watch as their master was gone. Their aura dimmed, darkening the room further. The room was desolating itself. And now you could not see.

 Yin finally realized what is happening with the complicated demise of the dark elf. She instantly releases the corpse and rips Artemis from her grasp on him. Pulling her away, the cieling begins to collapse on the unfortunate dark mage.

Back in the final chamber, the lone mage and leader of the Mages' Cult is apparently glaring at a screen that is showing the happenings of the room, just before the chamber. Yang could only smile as he watches the three take out the dark elf. "The Mages' Cult is falling. And to what? Three simple girls! Malevolous was my greatest warrior. I would have never though they would have conquered him." The final cloaked being rages. He lifts the remote and powers off the screen with it before tossing it against the wall.

"Perhaps you underestimate the power of love." At Yang's words, the mage slowly turns to hear what he has to say. "My sister never shows it, but she has deep feelings for me. We are the last of our own blood and we are all we have for each other. Her determination is driving her to save me. I believe I understand why Artemis is here. Aside from my sister, I've never felt such feelings. She is more than likely here for me as well as my sister. That other girl though... I don't understand what her reason would be. I have never met her before."

The mage simply thinks little of what Yang said. "I will be the judge of that! Their so-called determination ends here!" With his words, the mage throws out an arm and a black bolt of lightning shoots out from his black furred hand and strikes the massive double doors. The doors then slowly opens with the sound of gears rotating. With the many torches upon the walls, the lighting of the room reflects off the cracked, glossy floor in the previous room. Yin stares off at the light while still gripping onto Artemis. The doors to the final chamber has opened. The last challenge awaits.

 Artemis hissed in surprise as she finds herself being ripped away from the torn throat - once she had blood in her mouth, she lusted for it. Shaking this off, she glanced at the cieling - allright, so being ripped away was a slightly better fate.

She closed her eyes in the light, surprised - her eyes had quickly become adjusted to the darkness. Upon opening her bright blue eyes, the pupil had formed a thin slit.

As the doors opened, she detached herself from Yin's grasp - ears pinned back, though more mechanically than anything else. Wiping off the blood that stained her jowles, the feline anthro looked grimly at the doors; a shiver running down her very flexible spinal cord at merely the eerieness of it all.

 Light from the next room peeked in. Two of the Sprites vanished. One was confused and went to her master and the other went after her. She tried to stop her but she wasn’t going to budge no matter what the other tried.

The kitten covered her eyes as the sudden light blinded her. She squinted until she could see again. The doors were opening! Was that the last of them? Was this the end? She stumbled to her feet and retrieved her weapon. She walked over and hid behind Artie. She wasn’t sure what the next area would hold. She wasn’t even sure why she was afraid.

 Yin is the first to make a move towards the final room. She stops next to the rubble to view the two sprites. "It is what I would like to call fate. He chose his own path and there's nothing that can be done about it. I'd offer to take you two with me, but that's entirely your choice." Yin states, pointing out the obvious and akwardly willing to lend a helping hand.

 Mindlessly, she peered around the room from just inside the oodrway; her tail swung back and forth lazily, and her hand was to her mouth - a claw extended and picking skin out from between her teeth.

Feeling Jamie behind her, she twisted around, looking blankly at the kitten, surprised - affection had never been her thing...well...until recently.

 The confused Sprite’s eyes filled with tears and she glared at the offering Panda. Her black aura flared up as she yelled back at Yin. Her hands charged a sphere of dark matter. She raised her arms to attack Yin with it, but was stopped by the other Sprite from behind. The ball of energy diminished from the distraction. She tried to calm her as best she could while holding her back.

The kitten gazed up at Artie innocently and tried to smile. Her ears perked somewhat and her tail rose and swayed. Her hands still shivered though. She was still shaken by the previous mental attack.

 "Have it your way, but I was actually trying to do something that I'm not normally known to do. I was trying to be nice." Yin states as she turns away from the two sprites and heads towards the lighted room. Once inside, she first takes notice of Yang in a cage at the far end. He's alive and seemingly happy to see Yin. There's also a lone black cloaked being just sinisterly standing there. The being waves a hand and the double doors begin to slowly close, signaling Artemis and Jamie to come inside before it does so.

 Artemis yawns exaggeratingly as she shuffled into the room, absently making sure the little cat-girl was still there. She coiled her tail around her left leg, like a snake, and peered around; seeing the cage and the onimous being.

She scowled softly. Was that another one of those psychotic mages? Most likely. Oddly enough, her throat rumbled in a soft, strange noise - somewhere in between a purr and a growl.

 She trailed after Artie, staying kind of close. She peeked around her and too noticed the trapped Panda boy. She blinked. That had to be the brother. After all, it -was- almost obvious. She immediately sensed Artie’s feelings toward the boy and was about to smile when she saw another Mage. She frowned. Wait. This one was different. She did not get the same feeling as the last one. First of all, by his hand, he was definitely not an Elf.

The Sprites watched Yin walk off. The one holding the other sighed. She let go and slowly fluttered into the open room. The other didn’t want to be left behind and promptly followed. As they entered, the first one stopped and gazed around. They missed their opportunity to teleport with the other two and were stuck for now. The second watched the doors close behind her and ran into the back of her companion. She jumped back, startled and apologized. The other smiled and held her hand.

Then you few had to go and destroy my greatest mage. Here's where your conquest ends. This is where you die!" The final mage yells as he raises his black furred hands and multiple decaying cadavers and skeletons rise from the groundon which the three femmes stand on.. They stand surrounded. Yin's attention is still focused on the mage. "Necromancer... The voice is a bit familiar as well." Yin notes as her glare continues to stab at the dark mage. "Very perseptive, child. Though, my face may not be new to you either." The dark mage explains as he lowers the hood of his cloak to reveal his head. He is a weren badger with archane symbols scarred on the sides of his head. He glares at Yin with a demented grin. Yin's eyes widen drastically. Almost as if she has seen a ghost. "Y-you..."

Not with good ol' kitty-tooth-and-claw, anyway. There was no flesh to rip.

 The Sprites stayed where they were. They shouldn’t have anything to worry about since they did not accept Yin’s offer. So they floated there and watched the revealing action.

The kitten watched carefully. All the dead people; it wasn’t something you’d want to see. She stared over at the one who called them forth and frowned. A loud click was heard behind Artie and she stepped out from behind her. She pointed her weapon in the Mage’s direction.

She pulled the trigger and the shaft spun and glowed. A red beam shot from the barrel and tore down the crowd of walking dead that stood between them and him. The beam didn’t stop. It continued straight for him, but that wasn’t the point. All she wanted was to clear the area. And she did.

 The necromatic badger grins as the blast from Jamie nears vaporizing him. Right before it nails him, he throws arms out and the blast ripples off a clear black barrier around him. Yang lowers his head. This doesn't seem very hopeful. He wants to help so bad, but all he can do is watch. Yin shakes her bit of fear off and returns her glare at the werebadger. "So, you lived from our bout through our home world? How did you manage to get to this world, Hult?" Yin comes out with a name. "You remembered. I'm flattered." Hult sarcastically remarks. Yin clenches her fists as she slowly stalks towards the badger. Before Artemis or Jaime could proceed with her, the undead and skeletons close the gap between them, surrounding the two felines. They are apparently ignoring the panda. "This is enough! I'm only here for Yang and I doubt you'll allow him to leave peacefully. So, I'll just get to the point and kill you now." With that, Yin charges headlong at Hult.

 "Hult?" She starts, taking a good look at the furred mage. "What a stupid name." She spat irratably, glancing at the advancing skeletons as they surronded her and the kitten, who had cleared a path previously.

Hissing lowly, she bounded forward, gripping one skeletons arm and pulling back heard, smiling lightly as she heard the resounding pop of snapping joints - and leapt back into the center, snapping her held-at-ransom, boney arm like a deadly weapon.

It was stupid, she knew.

 She giggled and turned to Artie with a smile, ignoring the re-surrounding Dead. Then Artie Attacked and returned with an unpleasant souvenir. She stared at the twitching arm and then at Artie with a look of confusion. Was she really gunna use that thing?! Ick… Then her ears flickered and she remembered something. Her smile returned and she handed Artie what appeared to be a lightweight metal hilt. It looked all futuristic and stuff.

The more secure Sprite watched the two felines in wonder. The other watched everything, moving her attention from place to place. She could care less; she was just depressed at the moment.

 As Yin dashes at the necromancer, her clenched fists ignite into black flames once more. Hult prepares for the attack, but Yin does something unexpected. She leaps into a spiral in midair, over the badger and lands directly behind him. Before he could react or turn around, Yin plants her flaming hands on his back and lets off her black fire beam right at the necromancer's back. With that action, Hult flies forward and lands in the midst of the undead. A shockwave suddenly bursts from where Hult lies, causing decaying limbs and skeletal parts to fly about everywhere. Hult stands there with rage in his eyes. "Now you pay!" His voice rumbles as he holds out his hand. A staff with a green luminesant crystal on the end of it flies into Hult's grasp. The orgin of his power...

 She sighed. She put her hands over Artie’s, showing her to grip the handle tight. With the dangerous end facing up, it gathered energy. You could see the light particles cluster together. They quickly compressed into a blade of hyper accelerated matter. The weapon was lightweight and maneuverable with its three foot, gold-glowing blade. She let go of Artie’s hand and let her see it for herself.

Upon letting go, the blade diminished. It was like a safety feature. You use a tight grip when swinging a sword. So when you loose your hold, it won’t inflict unnecessary damage. And so you can put it away safely. It also has an encrypted lock. Once the user is identified by touch, it will only work for that person unless reprogrammed by that person for the next user. And now Artie would be its new owner.

‘What is that?’ The Sprite thought, watching the two. She looked over at the one called Yang. “C’mon.� She called to her companion. She grabbed her wrist and fluttered over to his cage. “Nubez?� She asked Yang. The other stayed quiet, watching her friend do what ever the hell she was doing.

Ok...this was odd; but oh well.

Gripping the hilt tightly, forcing the 'blade' to reappear, she lunged for the nearest skeletal warrior, slashing the beam through where its stomach should be...raising her head and staring at the approaching badger, hissing daringly.

 She applauded Artie on her accomplishment. She did pretty well with a really unfamiliar weapon. She too then watched the Badger strut in their direction after taking out the Panda girl. The smile left her face as the frown came in. This person agitated her. And she just realized that she knew the Elf wasn’t fond of him either. She didn’t know how, but she did.

“Yang is Nubez?� She asked again. She fluttered through the bars safely. The other one just stayed and watched. “�Why is Nubez so important? She added, floating up to him.

 "In a sense, yes. I am Nubez, but only half of him. Nubez is a very powerful being that even my sister and I have trouble controlling at times. If Hult does manage to control myself and my sister, he would have control over the Lord of Chaos and Destruction. My sister and Artemis are here to save me and prevent such a thing from happening." Yang explains, evaluating the situation from his point of view. He can't do much in his position. All he can do is watch and hope.

Hult nears the two as he glares at them. "You two have nothing to do with any of this. Therefore, you both will die." He explains as he points the crystal end of the staff at Artemis and Jaime. Black electricity seemingly serges from Hult's arm and pulsates into the staff as he charges much of his power into it. The green crystal at the end of the staff appears to glow brighter and brighter as this occurs. When he lets off the fatal attack, there will be nothing they could do to stop it. The numeral amounts undead that continue to surround the felines, prevent them from even making any moves towards Hult. Everything is seming grim for them.

In a flash, she teleports herself and Jamie to the other side of the room, and in yet another puff of tan smoke she reappears, knees locked on the badgers shoulders; her tail erect for balance.

Swinging the light-beam sword, somewhat awkwardly in fear of falling, she slashed it blindly at the badger, her free hand planted near her right knee, on his shoulder.

 Yang notices Jamie approaching and turns to interact with the kitten. "Whatever you do, don't touch the bars. Who are you anyway? Why are you helping us?" Yang asks, assuming to get an answer.

Just as Hult feels the feline's weight on his shoulders, he brings his partially charged staff up to deflect Artemis' attack. He brings his other hand up and sends Artemis up. He turns around to clench his fist and Artemis stops in midair. He holds her there with his magic. Not even her teleportation could get her out of his magical grasp. The badger then aims the crystal end of his staff at Artemis. "Now you die!" He yells just before a flying kick nails Hult's arm and his aim is thrown off just on time. The massive attack that was meant for Artemis then blasts through a corner of the cieling. Hult glances to the side, still holding Artemis in the magical grasp, only to peer face to face with Yin. "It'll take more than that pathetic attack to keep me down." Yin smirks as Hult bares his teeth in rage.

 Artemis yelped, dropping the light-sword as she was sent upwards, the hilt crashing with a dull thud onto the ground beneath her. Hissing and spitting through clenched teeth, the siamese feline is forced to watch; as she couldnt look away. The very tip of her tail flicks, and her teeth grind together - but otherwise, she is almost perfectly frozen in mid-air, eyes following the action beneath her.

 Yang shakes his head at the little kitten and looks towards the sprites. "I don't even think she understands english." Meanwhile, Hult releases the magical hold he has on Artemis to face Yin with all of his attention. This causes Artemis to fall in the middle of the horde of undead. He then swings his staff at Yin only to hit air, due to the fact that Yin leaped up and planted her foot on Hult's head. She then lunges off his head, forcing him to stumble forward, and spirals in midair before landing next to Artemis. "Your move, Artie." Yin states as she leg sweeps a few undead to open up a small path towards the Necromancer.

 Artemis landed with a hiss of surprise and a thud, landed roughly on all fours. Springing to her feet she turns around and arounds, eyes glittering - until she turns to find Yin beside her. Nodding briefly, she darted forward pins back and claws extended as she leapt at the badger's face, the beam-sword lay forgotten where it had rolled.

 Yang was dumbfounded and surprised himself. Could this sprite know how to read minds? "Absolutely. I would think of nothing else but to help bring Hult down." Yang replies.

Just as Artemis leaps away, Yin takes a step back and slips on a foreign object. She falls back and finds the object, not too far from her feet. "What's this?" She questions as she picks it up.

Meanwhile, Hult still stands in rage, due to Yin's actions. He notices Artemis on time to counter her attack. He swings his staff in a vertical, downward motion as the feline's form nears. With his timing, he nails Artemis in the head, causing her to face plant the ground. He finally plants his foot on her back and aims the crystal end of his staff at the back of Artemis' head. "No saving you this time!" Just as he says that, Yin comes, dashing her way through the undead ranks. She catches the badger by surprise and takes one upward kick in his direction. Hult's staff then goes flying through the room. Hult yells in surprise as the crystal end of the staff collides into the wall, next to Yang's 'cell'. The crystal shatters and Yang's eyes open wide as can be. "Oh no..." He finishes.

 Artemis hisses; fur bristling as she finds herself flat on the ground, even her quick reflexses failing her miserably. She senses more than sees the staff and tenses her muscles, expectantly when she hears the staff clatter into the wall. She rises almost instantly, leaping backwards as she does so, shoulders hunched, tail whipping.

 She defended momentarily in reflex as the staff smashed. A chill went down her back and she felt uneasy.

The Sprites ducked behind her at the noise. “W-was that a good thing or a bad thing?! I don’t even know whose side we’re on!� The one spat worriedly.

The kitten glanced over at Artie and the Panda girl to check on any progress. Oh well, what could possibly happen now?

 After the crystal end of the staff shatters, the staff begins to pulsate with energy and Hult begins to meniacly laugh. Yang turns to the two Sprites, "This is very bad. Much of Hult's power is stored within the staff. With the crystal shattered, all of the energy that was within the staff returns to the source. We're all in danger, now that Hult is a full power. Not even Nubez could overpower him." After the staff rapidly pulsates, the energy escapes from the staff and absorbs into Hult's body. He crouches down and the undead begin to surround him. Yin's eyes widen substantially and she grabs onto Artemis' arm before heading towards Yang's cage. "Deja Vu all over again and there's nothing that can stop him this time. What have I done?" Yin speaks to herself in a sort of panic tone. "Yang! We're in trouble!" She yells out as she nears the cage. Suddenly, a massive shockwave emmits from Hult's position and all of the undead fall down, motionless. No need to worry about them any longer. But Hult, on the other hand, is now standing, greatly pumped and there seems to be black electicity, serging about him. His power could be felt by even the twins that can't normally feel power. "FOOLS!!! NOW YOU ALL DIE!!!" Hult's voice echoes throughout the chamber as he speaks.

 Artemis watches the staff with a midlly oblivious expression plastered over feline features. Blinking twice, she gets dragged along before ragaining herself, fur bristling as she rips Yin's hand unceremoniously from her arm.

Turning her head towards the insane badger, she blinks thickly before baring her teeth in a silent hiss; aparently unsure what to do.

 Suddenly, a tingle shot up her spine and her tail went rigid. Her eyes widened and she stared at her armed hand. Her hand shook as she raised her weapon. She seemed as if she was being forced into attacking as she seemingly fought not to. She closed her eyes tight, clenching her teeth as the trigger was pulled. Her ears twitched violently and her weapon recoiled, pushing her into the cage bars. The surge jolted her small body, almost holding it place. It released her and she fell on all fours, quivering.

 A split second after Jamie reluctantly fired her gun, Hult's head jerks back, violently. Yin glares out at him and Yang focuses his attention on Jamie. "Are you alright?" Yang asks in concern for the poor girl, also avoiding contact with the cage. Hult slowly lowers his head back to glare at the individuals that oppose him. A hole is seen in his forehead and blood begind to run down from the hole. Hult finally topples over and remains motionless. The Necromancer is dead for good.

 Her body shook in pan as she was picked up to her feet. Suddenly her body tensed up. She clung to Artie, but was torn from her grasp. She backed into the bars once more as unwilling as before. It seemed as if she was being held in pain. She closed her eyes tight and clenched her teeth, staying silent like always. The volts going through her small body were immense as she fought to break free. It was no use; she was in too much pain to overcome the force and was rendered unconscious. Her body was then released and she fell to the ground motionless.

 As Yin stared at the event in horror, Yang lost track of his surroundings and immediately rushed to the end of the cage. Forgetting about the electically tainted bars, Yang wraps a hand around one of the bar and attempts to reach out of the cage. It appears as if Jamie's little event has disrupted the flow of electricity. It never dawned on Yang. "Are you alright?" He yells out, hoping that it wasn't in vain.

 Artemis flicks her long tail in subtle surprise as the young girl gets almost magnetized by the force of the bars. Canting her headlightly to the side, the siamese cat crouches beside the young feline, peering at her; oddly, hiddenly, worried about the child.

 The one sprite seems as if she knew what just happened. She stayed quiet to avoid any unnecessary attention.

Her eyes opened slowly. Her vision was a blur and she tried to focus on any near object. Her fingers twitched and she attempted to move. Numbed by pain, she was almost paralyzed and found it just as hard to breathe. With all her effort, she forced herself into an upright position, her muscles distressed and very shaky with every movement. She still could not see and continued to focus. As her eyes started to clear a little, she made out a face. Artie was next to her. She tried to smile, but couldn't feel if she was or not.

 Yin crossed her arms over her brests as she leaned back against the wall. She glances over at Yang to notice how he's up against the bars with no side effect. "Yang." Yin calls her brother's attention and points at his hand. He simply glances at her and back at his hand. "Hey! The power serge has stopped!" Yang yells out. Now to find out how to open the cage.

 Artemis sighed, tail flicking against the ground. Her still somewhat blood-stained fur rippled as she rose, curious as to well...the kitten in general.

With her one-track mind flooding with potential questions to ask the silent child, obviously in vain but Artemis was never the smart one, the siamese regarded her area sub conciously, large ears flicking as thoughts ran in and out of her mind.

 She sat there, still numb. Her body barely responded to her, so she waited on the floor. Right now, breathing was most important and that was hard to do right now. Not feeling your lungs is uncomforting. Her body still shook all over, but she had no control over it what-so-ever. She just stared at Artie, still not sure if she was smiling.

 Yin pulled herself away from the wall and began to wander about the room to look for anything out of the ordinary. Perhaps the badger had a way to control everything in the room. That's about when Yang remembered one thing. "Yin! On the throne! Hult has a remote there!" Yang hollars as he points at the throne. Yin wanders towards the throne and picks up the remote on the throne's armrest. She examines it carefully before finding two different buttons that are labeled as cages. "That's odd." Yin states to herself. She presses one of the buttons. Nothing happens. Before she could press the other button, the wall where the monitor is begins to lift up. That certainly can't be a good thing. Yin quickly presses the other button before tossing the remote to the side. The top part of Yang's cage lifts up, allowing him to leave it. As the monitor wall lifts up, a deep growl could be heard. Seriously not good.

 Artemis glanced downwards at the kitten, offering a smile inresponse to the strange, half-smile on the girls face. Righting herself and turning to watch Yang's cage rise, she smiles once again - an expression that was wiped into nonexistance by the roar that made her fur stand on end, as it had already done countless times.

 Shivers were immediately sent down her spine as she too heard AND felt the bellow. She tried her best to stand, but to no avail. Something more had affected her than just the bars. It's almost like she had been drugged, but how? She fell to knees and warily held her self up on all fours. It felt unusually hard to move. The more energy she exerted trying to stand, the harder it became to breathe. So she paused, taking deep, slow breathes. Her lungs hurt real bad and she held back her tears, staying silent as usual.

 As Yang climb out the top of his cage, he stumbles out at the sound of the deep, menacing growl.
"Whatever the hell it is, it doesn't sound too good." Yin notes just before the creature pokes its head out of the darkness. The head is draconic, but much of the flesh is decayed or getting there. In some parts of the face, it has no flesh, revealing the bone. It glares out at the quatet with one red eye and an eye that isn't even there. It then steps out from the darkness into the massive room, revealing its whole body. It looks much of what a dead dragon would look like after a month or so of decaying. One of its wings is shreded and torn beyond recognition while the other one is decayed down to the bone. The new foe is a Zombie Dragon. Perhaps one of Hult's twisted creations. It finally rears up onto its hind legs to let out a loud roar of rage. How will they take this one down?

 Artemis simply stares at the walkingdead dragon. Black ears were pressed so low backwards they blended it neatly with her short-ish black hair, her back arching even as she stood. Claws were extended, but out of vain - and she finally accepted this...a few claws, even with the gift of fire, were going to be about affective as a bee sting on this....thing.

 She gazed exhaustedly up at the moldering monster. Oh dear sweet lord all mighty...that was sickening. The dragon was zombified. A living-dead creature of that size?? It was horrifying, and so gross too. She quivered at the monstrosity that composed the mythical serpent. She fell back onto her bottom, frightened as she stared into its dead face. She scooted back, still unable to breathe fully. She still hurt so bad and now her heart was racing with shock, which made it worse. What to do?? What to do?? Why me?? She squeezed her eyes shut and clenched her hand on her heart as she gasped without a sound...

 Yang's heart did more than just skip a beat. It stopped beating all together. He could only stare, nearly pupiless at the undead beast with such a shock. Only one thing registared in his mind and action was taken almost immediately. He fled towards the next room...

Yin Dashed after Yang to tackle him, preventing him from going any further.
"Yin?! Are you mad?! We will die!!" He yelled out the words in a sort of screeching panic, but Yin slapped him to stop.
"No! You don't know what's beyond the doors in the other room. In here, we have a vicious decaying dragon, that seems ready enough to tear us limb from limb. Out there, we have a huge ass minotuar, with a huge ass ax, whom I regretably pissed off. Either way, we are screwed. Now, think about it and tell me which fate you would wish to choose." Yin talks Yang down as she proceeds to drag him away from peril. Upon further thought, there is virtually no escaping death at this moment.

 As the scent of decaying flesh swamped her, the siamese cat...relaxed. Her ears lazily shifted into a relaxed position, letting herself being read like a book. Swinging her tail she blinked and sheathed her claws. If you gonna die, might as well die in style - and Artemis had 9 lives to die just right.

 As the dragon landed from rearing up, the earth trembled a bit. Once it was somewhat stable again, the undead dragon pulled its head back while taking in a deep breathe. It then shot out its head, blowing out a massive spray of black flame. Oh, what fun.

 The siamese-cat hissed, not in anger, but in irritation. Black-brown tail snapping like a whip behind her she flexed the ten claws on her hands, before shooting the dark claws on her bare, padded feet.

"Here dragon dragon."

She taunted before the flame shot out. With reflexes bred into her, the cat darted for the smaller feline-like girl, grabbing her somewhat harsher than need be and, in pretty much the same movement, vanished in that puff of tan smoke, reappearing with a puff of black at the other side of the room; behind the zombie dragon - to a point.

 Yin's eyes widened when the dragon pulled its head back while breathing in. She knew what was going to happen and didn't have much time to think about it. Yang suddenly shoves Yin to the side and throws out his right hand as the dragon sprays out its flame. A white dome suddenly forms over the two, causing the fire to ripple over it. Seems like Yang is getting in touch with his inner abilities. Very similar to the time Yin got in touch with hers against the Minotaur.
"We need to think of something!" Yang yells out, finally regaining his state of mind.

 She felt suddenly grabbed and her eyes shot open to see what was going on. It was Artie! She blushed slightly as the feline grabbed her and incoherently clung to her with her eyes closed again, ignoring the shock. Her body felt strange, as they were instantly teleported by Artie's abilities. She whimpered against Artie, quivering as she held onto her. Normally she avoided physical contact with others and fought if caught, but she had too many other things on her mind right now and for some reason he felt comfortable with Artie. Her body still hurt very much so, but she tried her best to be calm for Artie.

 After the dragon stopped breathing it's fire, it realized two of the four were behind it. Not really looking back, the dragon begins to blindly lash it's tail about, meaning to hit and perhaps kill the two. It's lone red eye remains focused on the twins in a 'you are next' fashion.

 The tan fur that covered Artemis completely rippled and stood on end as the tail lashed. Hissing she had half a mind to jump forward and attempt to sever the tail â€" though, being miniscule compared to the undead dragon, the usual rash Siamese cat decided against that action.

Instead she once again vanished; taking the kitten with her, reappearing beside the others and tearing, to some extent, Jamie off of her.

 Poof, it happened again when the dragon attacked. They were somewhere else now. She immediately felt pulled away and fell on her knees and sliding to her bottom. She slouched over and clawed into the ground with her small hands. Her tail lowered and her ears fell as she breathed. Was it going away?? The pain...was it dieing?? It felt easier to breathe, but it was still restricted. Her tail twitched, showing her hurt and irritation as she closed her eyes tight again. Then she heard a chuckle. Her ears suddenly spazed and she shivered all over. That voice...was it him?! But he...how...what...no...it couldn't...

 The undead dragon suddenly lunged its head forward at Yang in attempt to eat him whole. Its attempt was cut short when it slammed, face first, into Yang's barrier. He turned his head back to hollar at his sister, "Yin!"
Yin smiled upon crossing something with her mind.
"I do have quite the idea, but it calls for a bit of help. Artie, I need you to distract that thing for us." Yin notes, turning to send Artemis on a suicide mission.
"Damnit, Yin!" Yang yells out, obviously frstrated with the idea.
"Could you shut up and listen for a second? This will work. Trust me." Those last two words coming out of Yin's mouth didn't sound too reassuring, considering they came from Yin.

 Artemis watched the kitten, curiously, wandering vaguely if she should attempt to comfort the small feline. No. Why? It simply wasn’t…Artemis. Flicking her tail in a distracted sort of way, the cat anthropmorph turned her attention towards the two usine anthros, listening with slight curiosity.

“Artemis.� She corrected dryly, running a hand back through cropped black hair, eyeing the dragon. “Oh for-� the cat paused, exhaling. “Fine.� She concluded, this time teleporting only herself; landing on the dragons head and promptly sliding awkwardly on the decaying flesh. With a muffled yowl if indignance, she was gone again, this time repearring at it’s side, digging white-hot claws into it; not really caring if it had a nervous system or not. She did this again and again; vanish, slash, vanish, slash. Trying to get through to the potentially brainless thing that it was being attacked.

 She could hear the commotion vaguely in the background as the voice drowned them out. It spoke to her over and over and she hated every minute of it. She shook her head frantically as it prodded her. Why would it not leave her alone?! She clutched her head and breathed in, inhaling her breath as much as she could. It hurt so bad. It felt like her lungs were being twisted inside out. She suddenly lunged to her feet and glared up at the dragon. She frowned as tears fell from her face. Something snapped and she armed herself. She pulled her gun forth and aimed up at the irritated dragon, holding in the tremendous pain.

 While Artemis repeatedly teleported around the already raged dragon, it was becoming more pissed. Not knowing where the sourse of constant attacks were, the dragon began to lash about. It tail continued to swing at a deadly rate.

Meanwhile, Yin pulled Yang away from his concentration on the barrier and it faded simotaniously. She looked him in the eye while grabbing onto one of his hands with hers, entwining their fingers together. Yang glances to his right to see their hands together.
"Oh no. You can't be serious." Yang states, a bit worried with what Yin is doing. She looks to her right to reach for Yang's left hand.
"I doubt there's any other way, dear brother. We'll have to work together this time." With her words, Yin grabs onto Yang's left hand with her right and a brilliant light radiates in the room from where the twins stand. After a moment, the light disapates and the twins are no longer there. In their place, stands a single black and white werebear at a height of nearly nine feet. He has a glowing violet gaze, glaring at the dragon. The decaying creature stops its rage for a moment to glare back at the bear.

 The anthropmorphic feline sighed as she continued her poof-swipe-poof-swipe sort of ritual, only hesitating once on the dragon’s left side. Which was ok, considering she regained herself relatively quickly. The thrill of the hunt suddenly enveloped her, as it does most felines, as she saw the dragon’s swinging, pendulum-like tail. Drawn to it in the classic feline way, she tried to pounce on it, missing, landing on her stomach, and vanishing only just in time to avoid getting her head bashed in.

 With her eyes lit with an unusual and destructive rage and she bared her teeth in hate, still frowning. She was at the moment, not paying any attention to anything or anyone around her. She was only focused on the beast before her. Not even the tremendous energy signature from the fusion being caught her eye. She only saw Artie poofing about the dragon...and being in her way. She waited for the opportunity and then it happened.

Once Artie cleared her path, she pulled the trigger. The spiral chamber of the gun lit with energy and...nothing. It didn't fire! The shell was a dud! Her eyes widened at the flat click and no boom and she realized she was out of luck. The rather irritated dragon was right in front of her now and she was frozen in pain more than fear.

 It was the dragon to break the glaring contest when it lunged forward at Nubez. The panda didn't move from where he stood. But he did move his arms up to stop the beast dead in its tracks by grabbing the top and the bottom of the snout with both hands. Within the next second, Nubez streached his arms apart to forcibly rip the dragon's head in half. With the same brutal strength, the monsterous panda lifted the dragon up by its head and threw it into the wall on the other side of the room. The werebear wasn't finished there. He rotated both of his arms once and slammed them together in front of himself with his fingers spread apart. A swirled mix of white and black energy then leaves Nubez's palms and engulfs the dragon, dissintigrating it instantly.

 With a scandalized feline yowl, Artemis barely dodged the attacks in time â€" teleporting from behind the dragon just as the energy started to work it’s magic. Reappearing behind the kitten, the Siamese cat laced her ears firmly into relatively short, dead straight, ebonite hair â€" ordering her heart to stop the incessant pounding it had begun when she had gotten near the decaying dragon.

Maybe she had been just a little scared…like she would admit it to anyone.

 Frozen in shock, she watched the remains of the beast be torn from the living dead existence as the new panda person literally ripped it apart. She dropped her weapon and fell to her knees again. She was definitely out of it. Someone had been having their way with her, destroying her mind and body. Somehow she too felt torn like the dragon, her muscles hurt and swollen from the torture. She gazed over at the new person, then at Artie as she tried to control her shaking. Now what? What could possibly happen to the poor thing next?

 Nubez wasn't finished with his havoc. His hulking form proceeds to stlk through the dark room where Malevolous was defeated. He walks up to the massive doors on the other end of the room and forces them open with his brute strength. As expected, there stood the minotuar with one eye and pissed beyond belief. He wasted no time in swinging his gigantic battle ax at the powerhouse of a panda. Nubez catches the bladed part with his hands, clasped together, just inches from his head. The minotuar is dumbfounded by this. He attempts to pull his ax free, but he can't even budge it an inch. Nubez finally throws his arms forward, sending the minotuar, flying back and smashing through the walls that made up the maze until he slammed into the wall at the other end of the enormous room that held the maze. The werebear then rotated his arms, the same way he did before he destroyed the zombie dragon all together and slams his hands together with the fingers all spread apart. The swirl of black and white energy flies at the minotuar with the same ending results. The Mages' Cult has been completely defeated.

 The feline hunched slightly, the fur along her spine staying abnormally ridged as the rest smoothed and flattened, by order. Slowly the two darker shaded ears flickered forward, her over bright blue eyes, an odd trait of the Siamese cat, never leaving the large, hulking mass of two-toned panda bear. An odd sound, a meow of some sort, finally erupted as Artemis glanced down at her new…companion, of sorts. Resting a furry paw-like hand, and retracting the near-smoking claws, the Siamese cat who generally didn’t like kids, found herself acting all…maternal-like.

Freaky.

 Her ears flickered at Artie's meow and she jumped a little when Artie touched her, but relaxed soon after. She then cuddled up to Artie and began to purr a little. For some odd reason, she wasn't bothered by physical contact with her. In fact, Artie is the first person to touch her like this. Her sore muscles ached as she loosened up against Artie who she could very well feel was acting with a motherly nature. She never had that before, but she read about it. The real thing made her tingle with warmth though. Even after all her mishap, she smiled. Being cozy with Artie made her feel better and she wanted a mother figure.

 Nubez finally stomps his way towards the two feline femmes in the final room and seemingly glares down at them with a violet glow he calls eyes. He then throws his head up and throws his left arm up towards the ceiling to let off a bit of black energy to blast through the ceiling. His gaze returns to the felines and grabs both of them by the shoulders. He finally leaps up through the hole he just made and flies up through the layers of earth. The hole ran deep. It's amazing how high the super panda could jump. Soon enough, the three of them were out on the empty streets of Dark Mage Village. Before doing anything else, Nubez kneels down to the ground and splits in half with a brilliant flash of light. The twins remain, kneeling on the ground.

 She felt the large aura as the large panda beast stomped up to them. She kept a firm grip on Artie as he grabbed onto them and lunged into the upward tunnel he bored out with the power expulsion from his arm. She closed her eyes tight as the wind and earth whizzed past them and they shot to the surface. She still clung to her Artie as they landed nimbly, happy to be grounded again. She opened her eyes to see the large warrior become the two siblings from earlier and sighed with exhaustion. Still cuddling to Artie, she yawned cutely as her tail wiggled and her ears flickered.

 "See Yang. It didn't turn out as bad as you thought it would be. Your lover and kid are still in one piece." Yin states, standing up and beams a smile down at Yang. The male panda simply glare back at his sister. He stands up and looks towards the miniature catgirl.
"Speaking of which, I don't even know who the little one is." Yang notes. Yin looks towards the two felines as well.
"Yeah, seriously. You gotta name, kid?" Yin asks, bending down to come slightly face to face with the little girl. Yang sighs and shakes his head at his sister's antics.

 { sorry for delay. Completely forgot x.x }

The housecat anthro glanced down at the smaller girl, still latched onto her. Great. Sighing slightly, she let her russet ears come forth from the black hair that decorated her head, resting a narrow, fine paw-like hand, or vice versa, on the smaller feline’s head. Letting the comment about her being anyones lover slide, Artemis glanced down at the catgirl. “Yeah kid…� She started, genuinely smiling down at the kitten.

 She blinked clueless at the demanding panda girl as she asked her name. Her eyes followed as the panda girl came face to face and she gazed at her innocently. Her ears twitched as the paw was rested upon her head and she looked up at her Artie and then smiled as playfully as she cold being as tired and hurt as she was. She said not a word and only cuddled Artie more, very much liking to have someone to hold on to.

 Both of the panda twins sighed at the exact same time. Yin, as always, is the first to speak up.
"Seems like the kitten is a mute. I guess it's better that way." Yang glared at his sister for her cruel words and turned to the felines.
"Perhaps it's best to go and find a place to stay the night. Shouldn't take long to find the nearest Inn." He explains, glancing down both directions of the street.
"Yeah, I'm sure I have enough for two rooms. I'll babysit the kid in one room, leaving you and Artie with some quality time, Yang." Yin's words recieved another glare from Yang, but he didn't object too soon. In fact, he actually thought that would be a decent way to get to know her more. Yin smacked Yang on the back to snap him out of his sudden daze.
"Snap out of it, Yang! It was only a joke. Let's go before it gets too late." She finishes, walking off in a random direction.

 The darker brown, nearly black ears flattened against her head as she openly bared her teeth at Yin's back; her tail lashing as she moved both her and, therefore, the kitten hesitantly after the twins. Sure, Artemis mused, it wouildn't be a bad thing. Just awkard. And she'd have to make sure she either came up with a lie, or that Yang never asked about her life.

The kitten sighed and followed along, still cutely attached to Artie.  Then, two small and muffled voices were heard as the two Sprites fluttered from within the kitten's jacket.  She twitched as they zipped out and blinked curiously, trying to think of how and when they got there.  They perched on Artie's shoulder and began arguing with one another, scared and distraught about the recent situation.  They wanted nothing more than to be with their master, but they were stuck with these people for now and had to put up with it.  "Iduno, iduno...but he'll come, I promise." One tried to comfort the other as she kept asking questions, scared and shy.   The other hugged her as she whimpered and they still sat comfortably on Artie's shoulder.

When Yin heard the sprites, she turned to look towards Artemis with an eyebrow arched.
"I was wondering where the insects went." Yin stated, recieving another glare from Yang.
"They're not insects, Yin. They are clearly pixies. Pixies are people too." Yang attempts to back them up. Yin just waves her hand in a whatever fashion and continues forward. Soon enough, they came up to a place called, Inn-trested? Well, it's a hotel, nonetheless. But before Yin could reach the door, a tall winged figure drops down from the sky right in between her and the hotel. He appears to be a werewolf, but with wings? Not to mention he has an elongated tail, not natural to the normal werewolf species. Yin's eyes instantly light up as she stares at him.
"Well, hello there, tall, dark, and handsome." She states, seductively. Yang couldn't help but roll his eyes. She never quits. The winged werewolf turns around to see the four of them. He hasn't seen the sprites yet.
"Oh, forgive me. I didn't mean to get in your way." The beast notes, politely, as he steps back to allow them to pass by him. Yang sighed and grabbed ahold of Yin's shoulder, pulling her inside the the place before them.
"Unhand me, you fiend!" The panda girl hollars as she is reluctantly dragged into the hotel.

Maelthra landed a few steps beside Slash, still cuddling the little dragonling Mirshann close to her. Her dress was a total mess, and still vaguely damp. Her hair, upon drying, was in even tighter golden ringlets than before. Water just did that to her hair...once she brushed it, they'd be a bit looser.
A small giggle escaped her at the name of the Inn, amused by the humanistic play-on-words involved.

She blinked large dove eyes at the two very similar black and white creatures that entered the building ahead of them. The female's shout is what really catches her attention, and she quickly trots in after them. She was worried about the girl, though she knew nothing about either of them.

"Miss! Miss! Are you alright??" She asked hurriedly, catching up to the two strangers within the Inn. She wasn't entirely sure if something bad was going on, but she wanted to be sure none the less.

The feline flattens her rather large, dark ears to her head in surprise as the winged lycan made his random arrival. Her tail, long and possibly prehensile, flicked as it coiled around her right leg; the tan fur that coated most of her lean body still slightly red. It was hard to get blood out of fur, you see?

Recovering herself enough to roll freakishly blue eyes at the female panda's comment, she slid five black claws from their sheathes within her fingers - just in case - and walked into the Inn after the pandas, with the kitten, giving a curt nod to the creature. At the womans shout, however, she turned her head, eyes cool and bland, ears back onto her head in wordless threat. After fighting, Artemis was crabby. In the mornings, Artemis was crabby. After lunch, Artemis was crabby. Only good time for her was the night.

One stuck her tongue out at Yin as she held her scared sister.  She sighed and calmed her sister as they moved along with Artie and the kitten.  "Jamie...that's her name..." She whispered to Artie as they came up on the lame-named Inn.  The kitten's ears perked at the two and she looked up at them and Artie, hearing her name with her keen ears.  The kitten and the Sprites attention were abruptly distracted at the two newcomers, the large teddy bear and the soaked girl.  'Who were they?'  All three wondered.  Then the kitten suddenly felt Artie's tenseness and looked back at her.  She held her hand as she clung to Artie's arm and sighed.  The Sprites, too, felt Artie's change in mood, but did nothing.  They just sat and watched for now.

After hearing the girl's plee and watching Maelthra rush in, Slash all but rushed in after the gargoyle girl. He stopped, behind Maelthra with his furred hand on his sword's hilt.
While still in Maelthra's arms, baby Mirshann stared out at the twins for a moment before blinking. Seeing them as equals, he almost feels as if he's seeing double. Poor little dragon.
"Of course I'm not alright!" Yin states, rather rudely, before turning around to sock Yang in the gut to knock the wind out of him. The panda boy claspes his hand over his stomach and falls to his knees, weezing a bit. Yin turns back around to glare towards the gargoyle.
"My jackass of a brother is trying to pry me away from this wonderful hunk of fur." She adds, pointing at Slash. All he could do was look back in a bit of confusion and drops his hand away from his sword.
"You... *cough* your better off, using that to keep her away from you." Yang barely manages towards Slash. Yin's eyes narrow and she turn back around to brutally kick Yang while he's still on his knees with a, "Shut up!!"

Artemis sighed slightly and nodded at the girls name, not as put off by the tiny beings perched on her shoulder as you might think for one of her…reputation. Probably because they were too small to find any enjoyment in tearing them apart. Still keeping her claws extended â€" and very visible â€" the Siamese cat watched the scene unfold before her bright blue eyes, her tail unravelling fro her leg to whip behind her â€" the classic sign of an agitated housecat.

Watching Yang fall, she blatantly ignored the feeling of….well; she couldn’t put a name on it. Letting the feeling, lets call it, drop out of her, she turned to watch the scene in her silence, before â€" “Yin, yin, yin,â€? she muttered from her position, a hand on the kitten â€" Jamie’s â€" head. “You have got to get your eyes checked or something, cause macho man over there is hardly a looker.â€? She informed him liquidly. Well, obviously Artemis was a lot different from Yin. A lot. Opposite ends of the scale a lot.

(Ahhh, so many people! x_X)

Maelthra took a step back at the sharp answer she received, and gasped as the other black and white creature was suddenly punched. Both already large dove eyes grew even larger, and she blinked at Yin. She turned to glance back at Slash, assuming it was he the strange female was talking about.
She then looked back at the twins in time to see the male brutally kicked while down. She jumped, and then her eyes hardened.
She wouldn't even dignify the woman with any words at that point, and simply hissed at her.

She quickly knelt by Yang, biting her lip with worry. "Are you alright sir?" Once small hand was placed on his shoulder as she tried to assess the damange done by the female. The little Mirshann was still cupped in one arm, and she would have to try and remedy his confusion a bit later.
At the moment, she was wondering if it might be beneficial to summon White Mother here with her flute. She didn't think the man was hurt that badly, but those were some nasty blows...

The kitten's eyes glanced up at the hand upon her head and her ears flickered.  She paid no attention to the senseless act of violence before her and continued to remain carefree at the moment.  The two Sprites watched the violent Yin make a scene in front of everybody and the calmer one sighed at her immaturity.  "Jeez...such a brat...throwing temper tantrums when she doesn’t get her way..." she opened her big mouth, disgusted with Yin's attitude.  She was mostly loud enough for everyone to hear and didn't care if she offended Yin.

The moment little Mirshann heard Yin's finally outburst, he began flailing his front legs with a grin on him maw.
"Shutup! Shutup! Shutup!" The baby dragon begins to mock the panda girl in his own little playful way. Still so young, so inexperienced. Slash could only smile at the little one, filled with spirit and energy. He is going to become a great dragon.
Yang finally gathered enough breath to continues breathing normally. He looked towards the gargoyle girl with a dignified smile.
"I perfectly fine. Yin tends to use me as a punching bag, so I'm quite used to it. It's kind of like a sign of affection. If she every started being nice to me, I'd begin to worry about her." He explains, bringing himself off the ground. He brushes himself off a bit before sticking his hand out.
"I'm Yang, by the way." He notes with a smile still on his face. Slash turns a smirk towards Yang and nods his head in a greeting manner, knowing that the hand is meant for Maelthra to shake.
"Slash Dracomoon." The weredragon adds his introduction. Yin on the other hand is bothering the Innkeep for two room keys. Each room with two beds. Once finished, she tromps up to Artemis and hands her the key with the number 8 on it.
"Keep Yang away from me before I strangle his ass. I'm gonna deal with the kid tonight." Yin snaps before turning to Jaime. "C'mon, kid. As long as you remain quiet like have been the entire time, everything will be fine." Yin finishes before turning away to tromp up the stairway.

The cat watched the introductions with a bored expression on her feline face â€" though that was very much expected from the cat. Flicking her tail again and again, till it snapped horizontally through the air like a knife, she mulled thoughts over in her brain, before randomly arching her back in a cat-stretch, not satisfied till she heard the satisfying /pop/ of the flexible spinal column. Running a claws hand through her coal-black hair, she surveyed Yin through bland blue eyes, looping a single claw through the hole in the key ring. Looking down at her young companion, she offered a rare grin. “Good luck, kitten,â€? she muttered, before trying to look at the beings perched on her shoulders. “And where are you two going?â€? she questioned dryly, figuring she didn’t have to be kind to something she could flatten with her tail.

Maelthra let out a soft sigh of relief at Yang's words, glad he wasn't hurt. A confused expression flickered over her face at Yang's explination of Yin's actions however. "A sign of affection?" She repeated before a small grin formed. "Well, good luck with her affection then."
Sounded painful, youch.

She smiled at Yang and took his hand with her free one, giving it a firm and enthusiastic shake. "Pleasure to meet you Yang! I'm Maelthra, and this little guy is Mirshann." She giggled softly at the dragonling's copied shouting. Oh, he was going to be a handful alright. But he was just so cute!

Dove eyes watched Yin stomp up the stairs, and she sighs, shaking her head. The lady obviously had some anger issues...
Maelthra moved back over to Slash, uncomfortable in her tattered, wet dress. She didn't have any money for places like this, so she couldn't exactly offer to pay for a room. She also didn't want to rush Slash, as he was the one being kind enough to take her here.
Still...damp dresses don't make for very comfortable living.

The kitten's attention turned to the crazed little dragon in the girl's arms.  Then she looked over at Yin who came up and said she had to go with her.  She sighed silently and frowned, staring back at the annoying little dragon.  Good luck?  She gazed up innocently at Artie with the look of 'I don’t want to go with her, she's mean' on her face.  She ignored Yin's demand and latched onto Artie.  If she had to, she would go with Yin later, but for now, she would hang around Artie as long as possible.  

"There is no reason for you to be so rude to us!" the one sprite retorted defensively, glaring back at Artemis.  She paused for a moment.  "I'm not stupid, you know.   I can read minds.  And don't think my sister and me are so easily hurt.  We can defend ourselves just fine against someone like you." she then grinned a little.  'And I know your little secrets...' she hinted, speaking to her mentally.  Was she bluffing or wasn’t she?  Whatever the case, she sounded serious and she demanded respect of an equal person for her and her sister.

"Mirshann!" The dragonling reapeated his own name, after hearing it from Maelthra. It's almost as if he enjoys being cute, but he has yet to learn what the word means. Slash had been evaluating the situation as he stood back. This group of travellers didn't seem to get along so well. He felt sorry that the little girl was stuck with the bitchy bear. He fears what would happen to the sprites if they were forced to bunk with Yin, but then again, they don't seem to get along with the humanoid feline. Then Maelthra walked back up to him and he assumed she meant for him to get the room. Slash will get to that, but first...
"No matter the size, sprites, faeries, and pixies are people too. Perhaps you ladies would like to accompany us for the night. It's the least I could do." Slash explains, holding out his hand. If Slash could remember correctly, way back when, him and his small band of allies were assisted through a massive forest by a little group of pixies. So, he has no reason to disrespect others, no matter who they are. All Yang could do was smile at Slash's kind gesture. So, appearances can be decieving. Though as vicious as he may seem, the winged werewolf has a heart as large as himself. At this point, Mirshann has finally discovered his tail and thinks it to be something chewable. It only he could reach it though.

Grumpily, Artemis flicked her tail once, twice, thrice, listening to the sprites as she flattened her ears to her head, finding a certain cat-girl…latched onto her. Sighing in defeat to the girl, she glanced across at Yin, small, yet undoubtedly devastating, cat-teeth bared. “I don’t think she likes you. At all,â€? the cat pointed out, stating the obvious as she tried, in pain to pry the girl off her as she proceeded her vague listening. The sprites mental comment made her freeze as she looked ast them through the corner of an icy eye. “And you better keep them to yourself before you find yourself being torn limb from limb,â€? she muttered coolly, adding as an afterthought â€" “Or eaten.â€?

Maelthra winced at all the tension in the room. Wow, they really didn't get along all that well, did they? And she noticed the looks the little kitten was giving Mirshann, and glared right back at the child, holding the dragonling close.
This was just getting a bit too hostile...

Slash's proposal to the little creatures on the cat lady's shoulder did not really surprise her. Slash really was a very kind person, and it didn't seem like the cat lady and the sprites were getting along all that well anyway.
She wouldn't mind the sprites staying with them instead of with someone who might possibly eat them.

The Sprite thought about the Were-dragon-wolf's offer as she kept her glare at Artemis.  'You remember the pain you suffered earlier.  We manipulated it.  Do NOT underestimate what I am capable of.  I can bend you to my every whim.'  She threatened the Feline further.  If she was bluffing, she was damn good at it, but she sounded dead serious.  She did have exceptional mental powers and that’s something her master adored.  For the most part, she probably wasn’t just toying with Artemis.  'So, What do you say?  I expect a sincere apology.' she continued, directly contacting her mind.  Then she pushed.  She let Artemis know she was capable of something.  She pushed into her mind just deep enough to warn her.  

Her sister just sat innocently and clung to her, looking around at everyone.  She gazed over at the little Gargoyle girl and smiled a bit.  "H-hi..." she mumbled, waving her hand timidly.  She was the sensitive one.  Her master looked out for her the most of the four, tending to her special needs.  But now she had to be alone with just her sister.  So she had to build up her courage on her own.  

The kitten glanced back over at the Gargoyle girl and saw her glare.  She meeped silently with a small blush and hid behind Artie, peeking out at her.  Her tail wrapped around her leg and her ears fell back.  She didn’t catch on why she was being glared at.  Then she remembered.  That lizard.  But she couldn’t say she was sorry...I mean...well...she didn’t speak.  All she could do was show it in her actions.  And she did.  Her eyes went from 'what did I do?' to 'I'm sorry'.  She was just a little moody, feeling Artie being so tense.  She wanted Artie to relax a little.  For some reason, she felt like a baby chick taking in Artie as the first thing she saw.  She clung gently to Artie as she hid, not wanting to upset her further.
