[Kimora is now shown as an adult of 21 years old, waking up in bed wearing a loose fitting t-shirt that says "Thou Shall Not test me. Mood 24:7" and mens boxers that hugged her frame a little too well for someone just waking up in the morning with blankets tossed about in a queen sized bed. The room looks borderline uninhabitable as there are CD's, clothing, underwear and random electronic gaming systems tossed around the room as a single old fashioned 80s alarm clock blaring above her head goes off]

(Kimora rolls around a few times as the alarm begins waking up in her bed, dragging her away from her comfortable nap and relapsing dream.)

Kimora: (She Yawning and begins stretching as she squeeks a bit. The sleepy face she made in reference the lights turning on very apparent.) "mmmm.....mmmhhpf... I'm up!! Aye dios mio (Context: This means, "Oh My God!" in Spanish.)..that sucked! So... that dream again huh?...It's been 6 long ass years since I even had that dream. I wonder if I can see even further back now? Alright…. I'll give it one try and if it works...putain oui! (She closes her eyes to concentrate and takes a long deep breath in. When she reopens her eyes she is now wearing a fierce and determined look.) Distortion! (Time freezes in place for a moment. With only Kimora seemingly capable of movement. The very world around her seems to have darkened to a black and white hue world as if drawn boldly. Kind of like a rough sketch. Every movement made leaves paintbrush-like strokes that flow behind her. Her movements look otherworldly now. She slowly reaches forward, picking up an alarm clock from the head of her bed. She let's it go mid-air and it remains afloat only to stare at the time with an annoyed look on her face.) "

Ughhh...why?!?! Why is it so much easier to use Distortion with music?! It's like my chakras are blocked or something...(She goes off-topic for a moment whilst she begins mumbling to herself. She is very well known for having a one-track mind with things that are important to her and otherwise an incredibly short attention span.)...Let me guess we're out in the middle of nowhe-- oh shit. That's a town..(Smiling deviously, she begins sprinting across her room that now pans out to be the size of a small two bedroom apartment. Kimora opens a closet at the back side of her room grabbing a towel. She then heads to her personal bathroom and begins to quickly shower, using the paused time to be able to wash her hair as it has now grown to a length that has reached beyond her ankles. A few seconds later she is seen darting out of the bathroom to her closet and opens it revealing a large array of different boots and heels and other shoes, she picks out a pair of long black thigh-high boots. Then simply sliding around in her socks on the smooth wooden flooring while quickly retrieving more clothing from a nearby dresser. Behind the dresser is her trusty baseball bat that had been hollowed out in the center to compliment a single shotgun barrel. Along the lining of the bat laid a beautiful etching of a silver dragon with flame spitting from its mouth and on the handle appeared to be a blacksmith's markings that read "D.E.M". Now her outfit was complete for going out for the day. Her favorite pair of boots, a pleated mini skirt that hugged her hips and her own custom-made t-shirt that read "Will you still Love me Tomorrow?" Across the chest) "Anyways....shopping time~!!"

[3 HOURS LATER]

(Kimora is seen leaving her room and turning left walking down a long hallway with several other rooms, occasionally glancing out the window as they appear to be hovering in the sky. After a short walk she comes to a door on the right hand side of the wall that reads "Captain's room". Inside was Xannichi Kamahaza, elder brother to Dantzler but everyone called him Xanne for short. Xanne was a very tall male reaching 6'3" and weighing in at a solid 292 lbs all muscle. He was known as a man of many trades, but most notably he was the ship doctor and captain. When they were children he had originally come up with the plans and schematics for how to build this ship that they were currently flying in. She opens the door to the room not even knocking or waiting for a response.)

Kimora: "YO! Xanne! I want to leave the ship and explore the town we just landed above. 'Cause if I'm correct, this is Taiyout. The remaining portion of what was once Tokyo. Good sir that means they have music, video games and movies. Also rare candies! You said once in awhile, and it's been a month! Mama needs candy and CD's if I'm to be locked within this bird cage you call a ship. (She exclaims the last statement. Then rolls her eyes as he begins to speak.)

Xanne: (Seeming as if he ignored Kimora he calls out through the now open door) Dantzler, we have to land for supplies! Also; because we need to land, there are some ground rules that need to be established before we make contact with the new type humans. These…"Balshion's" are varying degrees of psychics. So don't let your guard down for a moment. Also, as it stands, this is our first time on this new planet called "Balsheen-Earth." So we have to keep "DANGEROUS" (staring intently at Kimora) people away from the power-hungry organizations that seek to push any strange agendas. We need to make sure we're prepared for that so we're going to take a day first to get ready.

Kimora: That seems 1000% like politrix...and frankly not my problem. I'm a big girl. Whom is more than capable of carrying myself back here by a reasonable time. Besides, you and Dantzler are just as dangerous as myself or half of the crew on board; if not more. Ever since you two have mastered those "definitions" from D.E.M. it's almost like Dantzler has completely given up his using his natural gifts. (She gives a triumphant smile. Thinking she has won the debate.)

Dantzler: (Completely oblivious to Kimora's existence. *Note: Dantzler is unaware of Kimora's existence due to a side effect of Kimora using "Distortion" when they were teenagers. He enters the room poking his head in first) To average people, Xanne, we're likely closer to a phantasmal apparition or unwanted aliens. Besides, you're always on about how our powers require control. It's not like I'm going to spazz out because I can't control my emotions. Actually, I could just keep them willingly active! Here's to hoping I pop the planet! (He gives a hearty laugh, clearly joking.)

Kimora: (Gives Dantzler a very cold stare. Simply walking off, as if something that he said has struck a nerve with her.)

(The next day as the crew prepares to leave. Kimora confronts Xanne in his bedroom again. With a picture of his "Adult Magazine Collection" sitting next to an incinerator in an unknown location.)

Kimora: "Rise and shine perv!" (Poking his cheek as he slept, she eventually manages to wake him. Xanne clearly has a grumpy look on his face.)

Xanne: "If you're not joining me under the covers here, I'd prefer if you didn't come back AT 5 AM." (He grumbled a little bit clearly annoyed.) "

Kimora: "Not if you were the first or last guy on Earth."

Xanne:..."What the hell do you want woman?" (He quickly notices the picture she has in her hand. He sits up and reaches under his pillow pulling out a small flask. He takes a long sip swirling the contents of the flask as he began to speak.) "I don't approve. Frankly, this is fighting dirty Ki. Fine, have it your way. I'll arrange for you and Dantzler to go together. Sound fair enough? Not like he'll know frickin' the difference..."

Kimora: "I'm glad we could come to such a comfortable agreement."

Xanne: "Y'know, Dantzler could die at any moment. (He's scoffed at such a haughty attitude being given to him)"

Kimora: "That sounds like Elf talk to me boy, so I'm out! 8pm. I'll meet you guys at the military base for resupplying as usual." (She leaves his room. Clearly feeling as if she won that battle.)

Xanne: (Taking another sip from his flask, he sets his drink down on the table next to his bed and stares at his left foot. Revealing his wolf shaped tattoo.) "6 Years...of her....bitching..." (Pulling his hair to one side as if to mock her. He then starts mimicking her voice.) "Xanne I wanna go outside. Xanne I want candy. Xanne I want drinks." (Transitioning back to his normal tone.) "If it's not one thing with this girl it's another...So fine. I'll give her the date but we're going to do this my way. The last thing I need is her blowing up a city because she sneezed wrong or someone hurt her feeelings" (He gives a smirk and allows himself to fall backwards onto the bed again and covers himself.)

[At this point, the sun has just barely began to rise up from the ocean. The ship; aka "The Wolf's Cry," is currently hovering above the water, camouflaged. It has ability to cloak itself using natural light rays. The Wolf's Cry descends into the water slowly, so the landing gear enters the water. They simply float on the surface and enters "doggie paddle mode." (It kind of looks like a dog swimming. Essentially turning it into a giant boat.) Upon coming to shore the loading dock at the back half of the ship opens, Revealing what appears to be a waterless beach on the inside of the loading dock.]

[Transitions back to Kimora]

Kimora is seen wearing a very long black cloak that cover her head and body. Underneath is her usual aforementioned "favorite outfit." She appears visibly angry.

Kimora: "He said I can go...then gave me rules and a leash." (She's staring at Dantzler. She sighs heavily as she thinks over what Xanne said to her.) ....."Three rules: (1). No physical contact, and I don't even have to explain to you why. (2). You have to wear the new trainee cloak with the hood up at all times while helping Dantzler pass out recruitment flyers. The mask is not optional as it keeps your powers in check since I used MY definition of "Elegance" to temporarily destroy the dimension that separates you and him. (3) You have until 5pm. I think we might have guests in town and you need to be on guard." "A girl can never catch a freaking break, but I guess it's better than nothing...heh." (She smiles a little bit. Then walks off the ship with Dantzler as the both say aloud.) "Ooooh JOY!.."

    Kimora: (As she lets out a savage war cry the sound of a heartbeat can be heard echoing throughout the entire room, deep in origin, yet wondrous in its depth and power, Kimora began to feel a smoldering heat grow within her body and the suddenly pulse alongside this now hypnotic heartbeat. With every pulse, the sound becomes louder, heavier, and more ominous in its beat, and then... it suddenly stops.) Juno: Mmmmm, DELICIOUS!!! That's the power I've been looking for!! Now come at me, you naughty girl!!! (She smirks as her hands trace the air in an eccentric pattern resembling a pen writing a note in the air, then without warning Juno begins to take a meditation position as she says out loud.) Negative - CRASH OUT!! (The room begins to fill with a dark liquid-like substance similar to an ocean beginning to open past a dam at full break. In a mere few seconds the room was filled to the brim swallowing the entire alternative dimension previously created.) [Meanwhile, back inside the

    [Outside the bathroom door the party rages on and several people enter and exit both bathrooms with the crowd laughing and having a good time. After a few moments, the same drunk guy from earlier stumbles his way out of the men's room only to stop for a moment staring at the women's room.] ????:I..smell...magic? A high dweller, here of all places.....(He proceeds to stumble forward and catch himself every so often as if this was more of a natural state of being for him rather than a hindrance. This man's thin wire-like frame straightened up as he approached the door and his hand fished into his back pocket for some item.) Of all the days to not link my damn "Alchemic Throne", you choose today L.J?! (As he complains he swiftly removes a small diamond box from within his back left pocket and it begins to glow a beautiful dazzling green then gold, after a moment L.J. places the box within a small case on the side of his hip, and suddenly the air stiffens. L.J. looks at the door yet agai

    [As Kimora has left for the bathroom Juno has quietly watched the scene play out as she continues to request songs from the DJ, every so often flirting with him. Dantzler stands in the center of the room frozen for a moment as if something clicked in his mind and he mumbles to himself.] Dantzler: I wanted to be honest. This whole situation reminds me of something...deja vu maybe..but this scent..I've smelled this before. Anemone candy and roses? Ly??? Hevenly: (As he begins to look around for a moment then closes his eyes as he focuses on the scent he picked up. His instincts told him he wouldn't like the answer but he had to know for sure. Taking a deep breath he began to see scents as if they were colors in the air. Beautiful paint strokes as if to highlight the unique persona of each person, actions, intentions, and meanings. All laid bare to his keen nose and after a few minutes, he found it. Opening his eyes as the DJ plays "Toda (Remix) by Alex Rose", Dantzler sees standing

    [As the cool night sky continues its song of silence a warrior with a large metal pipe on their back and what appeared to be a liquid metal body suit is seen wandering further towards the city lights. After a moment they tap a small diamond-lined box no bigger than a fanny pack, at the back of their waist, and a spark followed by what appears to be several fusion reactions. The pipe on their back begins to separate into hundreds of smaller pipes that create the vague framework of what looks like a one-person hover drone, the black coloring from the body suit as if reacting to the metal begins to attach to the frames of the pipes creating ligaments and joints and now revealing a light grey body suit under the liquid metal. Ever so calmly they step forward onto the now makeshift vehicle and begin flight as if somehow rejecting gravity.] ????: (As they speak, a deep male voice can be heard just as the moonlight shines on their ebony and crimson mask which is r

  • Mercenary W.O.L.F (Never Die Alone)   #30 So THAT'S what that sound was!!!

    [The scene opens to a large sky with colorful bands and spots, which are caused by its swirling clouds and storms, each seemingly having a life of its own as a singular superstorm in the distance seemed to glow with an almost angry expression as it's red hue illuminated the water of the lighthouse that stood on a cliff at the far end of a small village. This particular village known as Hearthscatha gave refuge to many lively beings known as Deidics. (The sound of liquid being poured into a cup is heard immediately followed by the sound of a male taking a refreshing sip of a drink)] Xanne: (Speaking although the scene pans over to the old English-style townhome then slowly into the dining room to show a woman facedown in a bowl of cereal with ants crawling all over her body and the sounds of muffled screaming coming from the basement.) So normally I don't break character but, question. You ever just have a feeling sometimes that you might have let a situation get way too far, then BOO

    [The scene begins with Kimora having recently taken a shower, the room to the far right of her bed full of steam as she swipes her left hand over the mirror revealing just her face and her hair a mass of rainbows as she has it pulled up into a giant bun on the top of her hair] Kimora: Okay Ki, you got this. Just.. ask for a limiter so you can go out with Dantzler today. Confidence, check! Body, all clean! Wallet-Chan is walleting, now all that's left is to face Mr.Pretty is the new R.I.P and just say, "XANNICHI! I know I considered some unpleasant things, but Trade Offer! I receive 1 Elegant mask, and you keep living after that dumbass request!" Yeah. Should be fine. (With the mirror fogging up again, she proceeds to get dressed, finding herself wearing a tight t-shirt with a plaid shirt and mid-thighs skirt combo, the t-shirt sporting the words "Thou shall not test me!" across the chest and "Mood 24/7 patterned across the waistline of the shirt and with long black mid-thigh boots th
