Dealing With Demons

Flash_Guardian rises from his kneeling position, dusting off his hands and double-checking his handiwork. The containing circle seems to be well made and in working order. A mixture of powdered silver, iron, and holy water has been sprinkled in a full circle, with ornate and complicated runes traced around the ring for a bit of added security and reinforcement of the barrier that will keep the demon within the ring ... even prevent him from plane-shifting out. His spot in the woods is fairly well secluded and well away from the dojo proper ... flash feels that should hopefully prevent any unwanted interruptions. All that's needed is a demon to test the whole thing ...

Sam_Seymour leans against a tree arms folded across her chest ..back pack resting at her feet as she watches Flash do all the preparations needed....a raised eyebrow lifts slightly as he continues..

Flash_Guardian rubs the dirt off his fingertips on his pant legs, looking over to the woman. "Have I left anything out?" he asks her cautiously. "I don't often do this sort of thing. Besides, it never hurts to double-check. Maybe you could add your own barrier, if you like." Flash stands back to allow her access to the circle in the dirt, a hand-drawn circle some ten feet wide in its diameter.

Sam_Seymour pushes herself away from the tree arms unfolding as she looks at him a boyish grin appearing making her look even moe like aboy then a girl....shaking her head " Ohh your doing fine ...this is your place sooo I'll leave it down to you afterall I dont want to be accussed of aiding and abetting the imp now.........would I?" even so she scoops up her back pack and walks around the outside of the circle inspecting it...even in one or two places crouching down to see better.....glancing over her shoulder at him..." You know the devil doesnt like salt dont you.....seems to do something to them sort of folks"

Flash_Guardian raises his eyebrows, obviously impressed. "Hmmm. I do know that every demon and devil has their own particular weaknesses, so I just tried to use a diverse mixture. Mostly the ring and runes drawn into the ground will do the work." He considers for a moment. "But I guess it can't hurt ..." A hand begins fumbling in his pouch for some salt which he knows is in there somewhere. In fact, he unstraps the belt pouch and just places the whole thing on the ground, kneeling over it. A flat palm is held toward the large rune on the side of the pouch, and Flash silently speaks the word of opening. The rune glows in an outline of white, and the pouch slowly swells up into the size of a large bag.

Sam_Seymour nods pushing herself up as she watches him perform magic over his bag...obviously important making a mental note of the wowrds and symbols he uses...one never knows when some odd tit bit of information will come in handy..." You sure we wont get disturbed out here......I mean the place kinda filled up quickly yesterday and by some very strange folks"

Flash_Guardian chuckles and grins. "The island is surely a popular place ... but I doubt they'll be able to find us if they don't know where to look. The woods are thick, and the trees will grant us some cover. We should be fine," he says, sounding not entirely convinced. Flash now pulls out another small pouch, reaching a few fingertips in there to pull out a pinch of salt. Slowly he winds his way back around the circle, sprinkling handful after handful of salt all around, careful to distribute an even mixture as best he can. Once done, he throws the pouch back into the larger bag to be refilled at a later time. "Alrighty," he says, reaching once more into the bag and fishing there for a while. Eventually he finds what he is looking for, glancing back to Sam with a serious and determined face. "This is it. Ready?" Slowly Flash's hands emerge from the bag, gingerly holding an oddly shaped bottle with a cork jammed into the top, branded with a special rune. Inside the bottle, the demon Viimz is clearly seen.

Sam_Seymour nods.....taking a deep breath as her eyes drop to the bottle Flash now holds....a very slow smile appearing as her fingers drop to the handle of the knife stroking it absently before letting the arm drop to her side..." When your ready"

Flash_Guardian nods, rising, all emotion cleansed from his now stern face. Slowly he makes his way over to the border of the circle, feet standing just before its edge, careful not to break or disturb it in any way. He holds the bottle out into the circle, its top facing inward as he reaches out a hand to grasp the cork. In one swift motion, he tugs the cork out and pulls his hand back, now holding the bottle out with a single hand and watching as thick sulfuric smoke begins to pour forth from the bottle's opening ... there is a whooshing and popping sound as the demon Viimz is freed from his glassy prison, only to find himself trapped within another. Only when Viimz has fully appeared does he withdraw hand and bottle, stepping well away and watching carefully to see what transpires next.

Sam_Seymour watches Flash intently ..everymove he makes....head shifting as eyes go to Viimz.....watching as first one clawed talon emerges within the smoke...a head....and with a scream the imp seems to burst forth "MASSSTER" heading upwards as wings start to spread....twisting hissing as it finds itself going only so far hitting some sort of barrier....dark coal eyes glare down at the two as its tail whips around....hissing and spitting black ooze ...only the barrier stopping the globs from showering them....boney barbs hitting the invisible shield.as it shrieks going mad as it flies around its prison......Sam instantively stepping back as she sees the black goo coming towards them....her emerald eyes deepening as they narrow at the Imp......" Hello Viimz" the two words spoken softly

Flash_Guardian smirks, thoroughly satisfied as his barrier seems to function just as intended, and hardly flinching at the blocked attacks. "Still got it," he mutters proudly, stepping back a bit further, content to remain quiet and just watch. After all, he's got nothing really to say to this demon at this point. Nothing helpful, anyway.

PhorenNarqu just... Popped into existence, along with a mist and a darkening sky. Those two seemed to follow him around. He looked around the beach, and then started up to the Dojo, humming a little tune.

Sam_Seymour smiles her words like ice " You might as well calm down your master isnt here....and you know if he was he'd squeeze that vile stuff you call blood from your bones..." stepping right up to the barrier her eyes watch as the imp seems in his madness to fly and shriek somewhat in his madness getting to know the exact perimeter of his prison...dark eyes boring now into emerald orbs..." Master saves mes Master nots leaves Viimz..." words hissing as they are spit out at the female..." Master knows Viimz goods" its wings closing as it seems to perch itself in the highest corner of the prison.....Sam continues to watch saying nothing as the imp flusters...head tilting a little as it finely settles..." Master knows nothing of the sort...no contrary to belief your gonna to answer my questions now arent you?" Viimz shakes his head madly as its mouth clamps up...and glares from Flash to Sam

Flash_Guardian just takes a seat for now, content on watching. He is slightly amused to have caught the demon's name, for once. "Viimz, eh?" he again speaks under his breath quietly, more to himself than the others. Sitting cross legged upon the ground, he folds his arms and stares right back at the demon from its perch. Flash is far from cocky ... dealing with demons is never straightforward, after all. One must always be on their toes.

PhorenNarqu came to the dojo, and opened a door, no longer humming, wandering inside, and if they weren't in that room, looking for them. Just to say hello, and apologize, really.

Sam_Seymour turns to glance over her shoulder having heard movement behind her...missing the glare bestowed upon them by Viimz...her eyes on lingering on F

[Flash_Guardian ] The dojo is quite empty, as far as Flash and the woman from the other day are concerned. Perhaps they've both stepped out. Maybe they're somewhere out on the island, and maybe they aren't ... in any case, they haven't left a note or anything. Perhaps that's on purpose, as they don't want to be followed.

Sam_Seymour eyes lingering on Flash unsure whether he wanted to injector something into the goings on besides the barrier before her head turns back towards the prisoner...almost stumbling back as Viimz suddenly in a burst of speed slams himself into the barrier..and no doubt would have hit her had it not been there. Head twisting back to the creature..." I want to know why your here Viimz....your master...." glancing over her shoulder at Flash once more before her voice drops to almost a whisper" He ...got his part...."

Flash_Guardian is listening quite carefully, a hand over his mouth in contemplation. It remains to be seen just how much Flash overhears, but for now he yet chooses to remain silent. As to the noises heard somewhere nearby, he spares them a glance for a moment but pays them no further heed. His attentions are here, and shall remain here while there remains an interest.

Sam_Seymour eyes keep upon the creature as its lips pull back into what might pass as a sneer...revealing razor sharp teeth with bits of decay between them in places..." Humph.....yous stupid alll humans stupid master master of lies whats he cares about silly womens.Blah..." its eyes narrow suddenly as it peers at them...its head turning as its sharp hears pick up noises elsewhere..." Master kills yous alls" it spits...one taloned hand reaching to touch the barrier close to it." NOO" Sam's voice dropping from its sudden high pitch " Habr....I em your master agreed.....now you tell me why your here what has your master in need of this place" she bit her bottom lip not daring to look behind her to see if her slip had been picked up hoping to have covered it enough

Flash_Guardian slowly shakes his head from where he sits still as a stone, neither eyes nor face revealing anything further of his thoughts.

Sam_Seymour frowns she wanted to get in there and wring the life from this imp.....her hand dropping to the onyx handle at her hip before sighing softly....her voice returning to its coldness as she speaks " You will tell me Viimz ...if not me then Famana....and you've already had a taste of her havent you...." Coal black eyes dart around to glare at Sam on the mention of the Famana hate filled as its skin begins to stretch and fill..." Master kills yous hears yous screams justs likes sisters..." his head nodding as it grins broadly...." Yesss....master likes screams"

Sam_Seymour turns suddenly stepping over to her back pack crouching down as her hand rumages inside it...pulling out a blue velvet pouch...sideglancing to Viimz as she feels his dark eyes watching her....carefully she stands and pulls the velvet from whatever is inside....revealing what seems to be a glass orb...tiny sparks flickering around inside...stepping back to the barrier as Viimz eyes widen at the first sight of the glass orb....and screams...curdled with fear...as it pushes back back into the barier as Sam steps closer

Flash_Guardian has heard enough. From where he sits, he straightens slightly, a hand whipping back to his hip as if to draw something forth ... but as Sam ceases words and makes for her bag, he stays his hand. Flash has dealt with demons on numerous occasions, but that doesn't necessarily mean he knows their ways as well as one more studied in such arts. Indeed, as the demon's eyes show the first signs of fear that Flash has ever seen, a slow grin starts to spread over his face. He rises from his seat, circling to take a spot on the sidelines, not wanting to miss a thing.

Sam_Seymour steps closer and closer to the prison emerald eyes taking on a hard solid look....the closer she come the prison..Viimz realising it can go no further its back pressed hard against the barrier....." NOOOOS NOOOS AWAYS FROMS MESS" talons clawing at the invisible barrier...its skin stretching more as it fills with its swirling puss....watching as Sam steps over the barrier and into the prison with it....a long slivered tongue darts out shooting towards Sam's hand and what she holds...her own hand dropping to her side at the same time...rised instantly grasping the oddly shaped blade....." You know what this is dont you.....I will know what you do Viimz...willingly or not.."

Flash_Guardian pulls his own blade from its sheate, the legendary katana Swordbreaker, holding it forth with both hands and keeping a very close eye upon Viimz, moving just a bit closer. Flash has never wielded this blade upon any creature before ... not to say that the blade itself has never seen combat, just not by Flash's hands. He has no idea what such a blade is capable of. But given the picture of battling gods and demons on the sheathe, Flash assumes that's got to count for something. For now, he just does his best to assist Sam, ready to react to any strike. After all, now that she's crossed the barrier she will be open to Viimz's attacks ...

Sam_Seymour dips and steps to the side with instant reflexes....her arm arching up as she twist her body bringing the knife down in a sweeping action sharp and fast..black ooze splattering everywhere as it screeches....a peice of its tongue flying into the air to land god knows where.....Sam tightens her grasp on the orb as she makes a sudden dart forwards to slam the glass into the creature.....just as Viimz stretched skin explodes sending the acidic substance everywhere

Cannon starts to appear, probably well away from the others, in the usual place on Redfang Island.... a little to the east of the dojo. He only starts to appear in that the process is slow and strange. It appears to draw some sort of vaguely humanoid wireframe first, then fills it out slowly with polygons. At this point certain bits seem to be flickering, as if some secondary force is trying to delete them, but moments later they stabilise themselves and slowly the process continues. The polygons fill out and texture starts to come in. By this point its quite clear to anyone who knows him who it is, and despite the struggle against whatever it is, he seems to be winning out. As he finishes stabilising completely, he turns around with eyes closed and raises one hand. Green 'lines' in the air start forming, also flickering from his hand. Lines of text in some foreign and unreadable language blitter through the air before him, as well as numerous flashes along the green lines.

Cannon raises his left hand in a similar manner to the right as if against a pane of unseen glass, a little lower than the first. More green lines appear in the air, as if forming some sort of three-dimensional floating computer circuit. The whole thing is a very active process, some lines vanishing, others appearing, bits and pieces all over the place rearranging themselves. Occasionally parts of the text that flash across here and there will glitch up and streams of binary code will result. This, in case you're wondering, is an A.I battle.

Flash_Guardian watches as the piece of tongue rebounds against the barrier to fall upon the ground nearby, but eyes go wide as Viimz's many boils are about to rupture. "Nooo!!" Flash shouts, blade dropping to one hand as he leaps forward with an arm outstretched, trying to bring himself to cover Sam before any of the nasty stuff can cover her, using himself as a shield of sorts ... completely unaware of Cannon's own strange battle from Flash's hidden location elsewhere upon the island.

Sam_Seymour back flips away from the screaming Viimz....arms legs even wings can be seen as the swirling zig zagging lights seem to erupt around the imp's twisting painful form boney barbs being shot out randomly in all directions....Sam rising as the black gooy seems to trickle over her...the same substance outlining were it had hit the barrier and silde to the ground...burning the substance away...green eyes lift as her flesh caught by the goo begins to melt...and peel away ..pain yes where in those eyes as peeling lips matter as her whole body suddenly burst into flames...

Cannon starts to win the battle fairly quickly. The line creation becomes more than its destruction, and the moving of various of the parts seems to be more patterned. The text streams become more regular. Piece by piece the lines seem to join together, everything connects into a single fixed circuit. Eventually it stabilises out completely. Cannon removes his hands from whatever the hell it is in the air, and the lines vanish, returning reality apparently to normal. This island has been permanently stabilised. He can actually get back here now, without his mother knowing about it too. Security systems have been stabilised and reformed. Alerts are made ready in case she should attempt to hack the local system. All is safe for now.

Flash_Guardian had reacted too late ... indeed Sam was too close to the demon to really react fast enough. And now he himself is in danger. At least he now manages to huddle over Sam, his cape held over her to protect her from any further acid, as it seems to simply run off the cape with little to no effect. A dart or two slams into him, his own flesh starting to burn and hiss ... the rest are deflected by some sort of yellowish magical barrier which covers Flash in places. The darts, however, rain down in random intervals around the pair as Flash attempts to wrap an arm around Sam as best he can. If he succeeds, he will spring back away from the demon, carrying him and her back out of the circle to safety once more.

Cannon stands around where he is, looking about. His scanning ability of the island moments before was rather limited, but right now he gestures with one hand to perform a low-level lifeform scan of the island, searching for where Flash might be. There has been little enough activity around here lately, and its made his progress difficult.

Sam_Seymour caught by surprise by Flash's action stumbles or is pushed to the ground as suddenly she finds herself wrapped in some sort of garment....madly she tries to struggle to uncover herself and see the imp...pushing at the body on her only assuming it to be Flash....her voice muffled " Get off...what you.....muffle muffle.....do..muffle" Viimz continuing to twist and jerk now on the floor its body being covered in rainbow sparks zapping and zigging over its body its eyes screwed tightly closed obviously in pain

Cannon detects the three lifeforms and some unusual chemical and activity readings about the surrounding area to the northwest. With a twirl he rises up several centimetres from the ground, a wave of heat rippling out from the ground beneath, and he sets off skimming at speed toward the forest. Reaching the trees he doesn't break speed, weaving between them with acute and precise motions. Sensory indications are that there is some sort of struggle going on ahead, though he cannot be sure of its precise nature.

Flash_Guardian heaves with all his might, leaping away from the demon and carrying Sam with him back outside the barrier ... he cries out in pain as he lands upon his back with the woman in tow, the two becoming a bit of a tangled mess before rolling along the ground for a short ways. He releases his hold on Sam once he hits, partly due to the impact and party from the sudden pain of one of the darts being driven further in as he practically lands on it. On a brighter note, any burning clothing seems to be partly extinguished as they roll along the ground. Flash at last comes to a stop a short ways away, teeth clenched and fighting back the pain that burns within him as he peers about to see what is going on now ...

Veromem begins to appear slowly as the golden rings come from the ground in a spot near the dojo, going quicker and quicker until his form appears, his eyes opening slowly to show nothing in them, but he looked around slowly as he pulled a cigarette from his coat, putting it into his mouth before he lights it, taking a drag as his buries his pockets into his pants and just leans on the dojo, unaware of any conflict going on within the area that Redfang occupied, but something did not sit right with him for some reason. He hated those feelings in his gut that had no real reasoning behind them, nor any real way to tell when said feeling was going to come true

Sam_Seymour humphs as she after being pulled dragged somwhere rolls and comes to a sudden stop...quickly pulling whatever it was covering her head turning as she looks about grasping her bearings..head turning to Flash as he grunts and moans in what she takes as pain..a quick glance over his visual condition before they go to where Viimz seems to be quivering twisting in pain...brows knitting deeply as she's turn....yes the flames where out ..her skin was peeled back and melted at the spots the ooze had touched but her attention was on Viimz and not on herself....gritted teeth she pushes herself up...green eyes searching the ground for her blade..

[Kaileena ] Climbs up the rockface, she looks around, and sees veromem. The man that saved her life, she felt indebted to him in a way, she managed to get up and slowly walked up to him

Cannon slows as he draws closer. Other more local sensory checks indicate a distinctly patterned circle of substances on the ground which would be severely disturbed should he skim over them. As he comes toward the area, he slows down almost to a stop, deactivating the heat that holds him up and merely dropping to the ground. He walks over toward Flash and Sam. He doesn't say a word, though he looks to Flash and when noticed, smiles a little and gives a confirmatory nod. Yes, he is back from wherever he was.

Flash_Guardian 's martial arts outfit bears a pair of steaming pairs in places, and one of Viimz's darts has been lodged firmly just underneath Flash's left shoulder blade in his back, making it difficult for him to move that arm. Against the pain, he pushes up with his arms, giving Sam as stout a look as he can to tell her he'll be alright. He himself glances around, seeing that his own blade fell away during his leap to fall harmlessly to the ground nearby. Thank goodness the two of them didn't roll around with it as well. He also spots the woman's blade sticking up out of the ground just a few feet away. "Sam," he calls to her, nodding in the dagger's direction. And then Cannon arrives, Flash looking up to him with a bit of relief of all things. "Cannon!" Another wave of pain washes over him, causing him to grunt and curl up slightly. Dang but those darts are pesky things ...

Cannon frowns a little when he gets a quick diagnostic check of Flash's condition. He does the same for Sam, then looks to the imp. Positioning indicates that Flash and Sam had been opposing that imp in whatever manner. Cannon couldn't make out the strange emanations from the circle of substances, but could tell that there was one, and apparently it was preventing the imp from leaving the area in some manner. So, not quite sure what the best course of action would be, Cannon simply enquires: "Would you prefer medical attention, or does that creature require further incarceration efforts?"

Sam_Seymour waste no time as he indicates her knife....the dark stone of the handle reflecting those images surrounding it...pushing herself up she limps to the blade leaning down grasping its handle as she pulls it out.....her teeth almost slicing through her tongue with the pain these actions sem to inflict turning sharply or as best she can her booted heels grinding into the dirt she procceds to where the unconcoius yet still twisting Viimz lays

Cannon infers of course that he could do either or both, but is requesting the order in which he should make his attempts, and to some degree whether either would be necessary.

Flash_Guardian tries to speak as the acid from the demon's barbs continues to burn through his flesh. "I'm alright," he says in a shaky voice, grimacing once more as he watches Sam go for her dagger and advance upon the imp once more. "Help her!" Flash says, raising his hampered arm just enough to gesture at the other woman with the dagger.

Veromem blinks as he hears someone shouting, pushing off from the dojo before he steadily breaks into a dead run, making his way towards the sound of it before he comes upon Flash, Sam, and two strangers, skidding to a halt near Flash before he kneels by him "Hey, what the hell happened to you dude?"

Cannon nods, though his eyes flicker from side to side. First things first, he can still detect high levels of acidic residue in the area, including on both Sam and Flash. He puts one hand out before him, as if on an invisible plane of glass. "Abnormally low variant pH levels detected. Applying low surface penetration local buffer zone." ... Focusing his efforts for but an instant, there is a strange and momentary effect only barely discernible by touch in the air. Cannon reverts all non-deep pH substances in the area to neutral status. That is to say he neutralises all the acid in the area excepting that which is... y'know... an internal part of the inhabitants bodies .

Fox 's eyes would then be seen...by themselves for a second as the rest of his strange tangible presence fades into view via a soft azure glow accentuated by sparkles. Once revealed, his angled eyes survey the situation blankly. In his paws held forward is a blue glaive - and the blade flickering and crackling in its own cerulean hue before him. He may well hear Flash yell and point to the imp; and in hios hovering would turn to face it....and so now what?

Sam_Seymour falls to her knees beside the imp....a hand reaching out its fingers spreading outwards over the creature's snout and face....the crackling zaps of bright lights seeming to centralise upon it.....as she mutters softly..suddenly dark coal eyes flash open.....taloned arms dart forewards as they grasp flesh...locking onto her neck as its hold tightens....Sam's grasp fingers gripping the knife slashing at the taloned arms holding her....as Viimz screams bucks body half twisting before slapping back to the ground....its talons loosening their hold.as arms flap to the ground

Fox sagely twitches what would be an eyebrow. He watches the imp go down, and shakes his head once. Too late as usual, but he remained calm save for the head movement. "...okay...." the were spoke. "...someone care to just tell me where I landed this time?"

Cannon straightens up. He mutters quietly in Flash's general direction: "Unidentified persons detected in area. I will continue doing as you instructed, but I will be ready to assist with any opposition if the situation arises." ... He then moves over toward Sam. His eyes scan over her quickly, then he kneels down and extends both his hands. They don't go to her, but rather to the air above her. Faint green lines form in the air, angular and seemingly random in their location. They flicker in and out of existence with little pulses of light. The effect is to seal shut and repair the woman's most damaged areas, both internally and externally if possible. Strangely enough its not gradual. They don't so much heal shut as actually go instantly from damaged to undamaged .

Flash_Guardian drops his head, teeth gritting as he makes effort to roll over, landing roughly upon his injured arm. "Aaugggh ..." Flash stops there for a moment, looking back to Veromem through pained eyes. "Don't ... unh ... don't worry, it's nothing." Flash then glances behind him to watch what transpires next between Sam and the demon, regarding them above all others who seem to be entering the area at this moment.

Veromem rolls his at Flash's response, knowing damn well he was lying so that no one would worry about the man, though he was wounded and in serious pain at the moment "Yeah yeah, and I suppose techno boy over there does your taxes as well?" He then hears Fox and stands, looking at him with a raised eyebrow as he takes another drag "This is Redfang Island, now who the hell are you exactly?"

Cannon , piece by piece, undoes all the more serious damage. He cannot accurately do much for the little things, like minor surface scratches. It shows the difference in his style from other more 'magical' effects . He straightens up. "And the extraplanar being. It still represents a threat. Please stand back." ... He raises one hand, palm directed at the imp. Theoretically, if the creature can get at Sam from where it is, it could probably get at him too, but he seems unconcerned.

Fox simply looks down to Veromen. With his current condition, his expression is an expectant look. "Redfang Island, thanks. As for me? For now, I'll introdue myself simply as Fox. And..you?"

Flash_Guardian hears one voice over the rest ... one that sounds somewhat familiar, but he can't quite place it at the moment. He bends his legs and leans forward to sit upon them, straightening his back as best he can, biting his lip to hold back any further cries as he moves. Thankfully Cannon's work has at least neutralized the demon's acid which was boring through his wounds. So now all that's left to do is to heal. But he does not do so just yet, instead keeping his eyes upon the situation between the demon and the woman with the knife, Sam.

Sam_Seymour slumps somewhat at the sudden release of her throat....and when the imp goes still her hand drops from its face.eyes dropped to watch the zig zagging of lights over its body...slowly her head lifts....suddenly aware of the presence of another close by...head turning as she looks at Cannon unsure what he had said well at least it wasnt quite registing.,.....her brows knitting as she become aware...vaguely of no more pain to those places where pain once dwelled

Veromem rolls his eyes once before he cracks his back slightly "Name's Veromem, and this guy" He points at Flash with his right foot "Is the man in charge of this place. Talk to him, since I am out of here. Later Fox dude" With that, the rings would appear and whisk him away

Cannon 's entire body seems to make a slight humming sound. His left hand remains on guard should anything untoward happen. Until that point though, small pulses of light run from the pylons on his back round along the faint conduits toward his outstretched right hand. Something is forming just beyond the palm, and it looks like a spinning cubic distortion in the air, almost like a perfect glass cube which rotates randomly at high speed as it gets bigger. Suddenly Cannon's entire arm seems to twitch back with some sort of recoil, and the Cubic Missile is fired at the imp. Should it hit, it doesn't actually do any damage, but the cube will come to a complete stop with the imp actually inside it. Its essentially like a pocket dimension that you can see into and out of at all times. The laws of physics are entirely different on the inside though. Cannon gestures with one hand, and quite suddenly the imp occupies ALL the space inside the cube. It would appear horribly distorted, yet unbroken

Cannon ... its face would appear squashed against the surface of the cube, with barely enough room to move at all. Its an entirely unhumane incarceration method, but incredibly effective.

Fox takes this in, unperturbed by the brash manner of the greeter. He glances downwards thoughtfully to where Flash lies. In his paws remains Y Glyder, although from the downward slant he wields the weapon, he isn't intent upon offense by any means. Those royal-shadowed eyes examine Flash with that same blank but all-encompassing stare "..."

[Flash_Guardian ] The woods of the northwestern part of the island have become crowded now, but thankfully Flash and Sam find themselves in good company. The demon that has proved to be such a nuisance now lies dead within the protective circle, and Flash and Sam's injuries are quickly healing thanks to Cannon's rewrite of reality and Flash's healing chi meditation which he begins to perform, eyes closed and back straight. A whitish glow surrounds his damaged parts as he focusses, his broken flesh mending anew.

Cannon looks back to Flash, lowering his hand. "The threat has been neutralised Flash. Now before you say another word, you require medical attention. I will see to the damage immediately." ... He walks over, already raising both hands slightly. The green flashing lines start up again, and he repeats the process for Flash that he used on Sam.

[Fox ] ~Depends. Demons can be "killed" in the motal way...but they'll return recharged later. You have to Ruin them completly. ~

Cannon stops once Flash is better, whether its by either of their doing. The point is that its done, and Cannon moves to stand aside, watching everything with an impartial expression of indifference now.

Cannon will brb. Player needs solid sustenance.

Sam_Seymour slowly smiles as she turns to rest those green orb eyes of hers on him....fingers tightening upon the onyx handle of her blade....fingers suddenly relaxing as she resheaths the weapon...pushing herself up she walks over to where her back pack lays...bending down as she scopps it up swinging it over her shoulder to rest upon her back.....glancing about her..before turning and heading towards the earth bridge.

Fox coughs quietly, his almost-robotic like attention still fixed upon Flash. "...and I presume you are busy, Sir Flash?"

Flash_Guardian breathes a sigh of relief as his wounds are 'erased' and the barb buried beneath his shoulder blade is either pushed out or simply vanishes. He is whole again. His clothing, however, has seen better days. But such is easily mended with time and patience. A bit of magic helps, too. Flash now looks to Cannon appreciatively. "Once again, your timing is perfect. Good to see you again, Cannon. And ... thanks." A respectful nod is given before he looks in Sam's direction. "So ... did it work? I hope you got what you needed, at least." And finally, a look for the last set of jaded eyes which rest upon Flash, and at last he recognizes the being behind the voice heard earlier. "Oh! It's you ... from before, in the woods of the Keep." A cheerful smile is given as Flash pushes himself to his feet. "Welcome to Redfang Island."

Flash_Guardian sighs reluctantly, shrugging at Fox's words. "I'm always busy," Flash gripes, turning to watch the other woman leave. "Hey! That's it? You just slice the demon into pieces and then leave?" Flash obviously doesn't wish to be done with Sam just yet.

Fox sagely nods, a slight smile escapoing the corner of his lips. "Redfang...Island. By the way, are we still on the Nexus planet then, or have I gone extraplanar again? Stupid question but...I'd like to know."

Flash_Guardian nods to Fox's first assumption, responding in a casual manner and showing no signs of surprise. "Still in the Nexus, as far as I know."

Sam_Seymour pauses twisting around to look at Flash.....a slow smile appearing..." Ive got what I come for....and as promised you was present the whole time.....I can go......home"

[Fox ] "Still in the Nexus. That's good to know." he lowers the blade of Y Glyder a little more, showing his peaceful intentions although he allows the crackling blade to exist. "This is your home isn't it?"

Flash_Guardian just nods to Fox for the moment as he rises quickly, making to catch up with the departing woman and snatching up his own blade, Swordbreaker, on the way. "Oh no you don't!" Flash calls after the woman, trotting up to her to catch up. "No way I can let you go after everything I've seen. And heard." Upon nearing the woman he stops, returning the blade to its sheathe. "I'm coming with you."

Flash_Guardian now looks over his shoulder to regard Fox more fully. "Indeed, this is the place I call home, as well as a few others. Most of whom I haven't seen lately, but I'm sure they're around. Feel free to make yourself at home while you're here. Just try not to cause any trouble. Redfang is a sanctuary for those who would otherwise have none."

Fox turns on the spot, silently hovering to keep a view upon Flash and the cortege. He coughs again, lowering his head forth a little...

Sam_Seymour did not move...just watched him stumble up and run.....reaching for his sword head turning slightly as those dark green emerald eyes look into his ......was there somthing else there or not?...a brow rised " And just why would you do that?" head nodding to Fox" You'll just told him this is your home"

[Fox ] "I shan't be making trouble. However Flash." At this, he raises Y Glyder, the Glaive into a salute. "I'll be absent for a while. I may well return once the legend of the isle of Rubimagna is ressurected...perhaps then we can exchange info. For now though, I depart." solemnly the wereOv'rworlder nods once more..and flickers out with a small crackle as he portals away, not leaving a single trace of himself - tangibly, astrally or existentially.

Fox also has marked the place of RedFang Isle into Places He May Knowingly Gate To. Night.

Cannon follows Flash with his eyes, and when the man moves out of view, Cannon skims up from the ground and whizzes off after him. He slows and lands once he gets near Flash and Sam again.

Flash_Guardian answers Sam quite plainly. "I wish to speak to this ... Famana." A respectful nod is given to Fox as he departs, glad to hear that Redfang may yet have another visitor in the future. "Unless you can answer my newfound questions yourself?" Flash chuckles lightly. "Unless you've actually forgotten what it is that I've been after all this time?" As Cannon comes back into view now, Flash is reminded of something. "So Cannon ... been doing any birdwatching lately? I saw a very interesting one on the beach the other day ..."

Sam_Seymour glance towards Cannon as he lands...her brows knitting into a frown at Flash's words..." You was there during the questioning of Viimz....I even gave you a chance to ask some of your own which you declined...or good as..." her words coming to a stop as he begins speaking to Cannon

Cannon gives Flash an odd look. "The only bird that has concerned me lately is the one I directed to communicate with you. I see that you have other matters of personal concern here though, so if that was not what you were questioning about then I would advise keeping your attention on the task at hand. Of course, if there is anything I can help with... within the bounds of the island... I would be more than happy to assist. I cannot leave the island now though."

Cannon finishes, almost as an afterthought: "But yes, if you're going to chase this lady and stop her, then you would do well to give her your attention until you are done."

Sam_Seymour turns gravel crouching under her heeled boots as with long strides she begins once more heading towards the earth bridge not wanting to miss the tide...the breeze catching at her hair a little as it ruffles over it...her steps becoming easier the further she gets

Flash_Guardian shakes his head at Sam. "I didn't ask Viimz because I knew he wouldn't answer me. He didn't when I asked him before, after all. And besides, my questions have changed now after overhearing ... certain things." Flash's look bears a hint of darkness as he regards Sam now, showing a hint of distrust. To Cannon, Flash speaks quickly. "Right then, Cannon. Just wanted to make sure your own plans were proceeding smoothly. Keep me informed, eh?" With that, Flash follows after the woman, matching her every stride yet not bothering to hide the fact that he is doing so.

Cannon nods, giving a slight sigh. At least he could work on things now. He has a plan to set up. It would involve two particular trees, and he might as well select a location. He picks an area to the Southeast of the dojo, and walks over that way.

Sam_Seymour is gonna head on out too ......sorry guys
