{Sanctuary of the clans}
The sanctuary is quiet.
Vorador has returned to his mansion having had enough
of the total chaos usually present at the Sanctuary, Janos has retreated to his
Aerie for much the same reason as his childe. Raziel has launched a huge
project of trying in vain to repair his clan territory, despite the lack of
clan. Light has *apparently* wandered off somewhere into the mountains, looking
for a new take out that delivers.
The main chamber of the sanctuary is almost empty, the
sole occupant lies curled on the throne. Kain has his back to the entrance, lying
on his side on the throne. His legs over an arm-rest, his head cushioned on his
arms on the other arm rest.
“EXTERMINATE!!!!” a voice suddenly screams, Kain as
expected jerks upright in alarm and fall off the throne. Light has fits of
giggles on the floor beside him.
“I hate you” Kain breaths. That was the third time
today. Stupid feline had been stalking around Nosgoth yelling ‘Exterminate’ in a stupid voice
pretending to be a darlec all damn day.
“Oh come on” Light wipes a tear from her eye “admit it
you freaked out, you’re scared of darlecs!”
“That stupid machine on that show?” Kain asked and
raised an eyebrow “I think not”
“Moebius will be” Light grinned Kain frowned “he’s by
the abyss now” she paused for dramatic effect “I have a cunning plan”
“Alright Baldric” Kain smirked, anything was worth
putting up with if Moebius suffered
* * *
{Dark
“You do not look well” Azimuth looked up at Moebius as
he entered the chamber; cursing as she pricked her finger with the large needle
she is currently using to repair her cloak. Damn vampires always breaking
things. She half believed the only reason she was allowed to exist in this time
was for Kain’s amusement, briefly she wondered if that was why Moebius was here
also.
“I am . . . less than pleased” Moebius mumbles looking
over the dimension guardian’s shoulder. Azimuth put her cloak down and looked
to Moebius; he had been sweating and looked as if he’d just gotten the fright
of his life, she sighed sympathetically.
“What did they do this time?” she asked “would you
like some tea?” at Moebius’ nod she stood and moved away into the makeshift
kitchen, Moebius sat down and quietly grumbled to himself.
“Bloody Time Lord” he grumbled as Azimuth gave him his
tea “I’ll give her Time Lord, frigging worlds already got a streamer why go
looking for more”
“What are you babbling about?” Azimuth asked blinking
“What kind of name is ‘Who’ anyway?” Moebius snapped
Azimuth suddenly realized what he was talking about and gently nudged her own
Doctor Who DVD under her desk.
“There, there” she cooed gently, this was not the
first time she’d had to sooth Moebius’ bruised ego due to Doctor Who. “Just
tell me what they did” they being Light and Kain of course. Light seemed near
obsessed with the damn ‘Doctor’ and Kain just liked winding Moebius up,
together it made a lethal combination to the Timestreamer’s ego.
Moebius slowly explained about the situation,
strategically leaving out the part where he’d tripped and fallen into the
sunken abbey in his haste to escape the ‘creature’ yelling at him and also
where he’d gotten electrocuted by Kain.
“Oh” Azimuth said once he’d finished, she’d noticed
the wet and slightly singed robe and had figured out the missing bits for
herself. “Well” she slowly smiled “we can give them something to . . . ‘exterminate’ if you want”
* * *
{Sunken abbey}
“That was fun” Light purred “I’m hungry”
“What this time” Kain sighed “pizza?”
“I was thinking . . . . Um . . .”
The amazingly intellectual conversation continued all
the way back to the sanctuary. Raziel joined in half way there but his only
input was souls and maybe cheese.
* * *
{Dark
“Now what” Moebius asked blinking through the smoke
trying to see the fruits of their combined labor, time and dimension magic, a
lethal combination, lethal to cats and vampires both, or so Moebius hoped.
“What do you mean now what?” Azimuth’s voice was
confused in the haze
“How do we control it” Moebius yelled over the growing
rumble as the creature came to life, he grinned a perfect daemon, a daemon from
the forgotten dimensions of time long passed, lets see them ‘exterminate’ that.
“Control?” Azimuth sounded worried now “what do you
mean con . . .” she stopped as the smoke slowly cleared “Moebius?”
“Yes?” he muttered, hating the woman for her lack of
foresight, he managed to forget that he had not thought about a means of control
either
“You were thinking about the darlecs weren’t you”
Azimuth asked
“How can you tell?” he asked looking down at the
ground, his shoe lace had come untied, he leaned down to fix it.
“EXTERMINATE!!”
“Shit” Moebius whispered jerking back upright
* * *
{Sunken Abbey}
“EXTERMINATE!!” a strange voice shouted, Rahab paused,
that had sounded strange . . . not alive.
He briefly remembered a similar sound from two
different occasions, the first when Light had taken the entire sunken abbey with
her through time into Meridian’s industrial age, Rahab shivered, he was glad
his father had torn that place apart. The second time he’d heard a voice like
that was a few months ago when Light had returned from a holiday, she’d built
something . . . an orbital frame she had called it. She had spoken from within
the giant creature her voice had sounded similar to the one he’d just heard.
Robotic, that was the word Light had used to describe
it.
“EXTERMINATE!!!” the voice demanded again, Rahab
sighed and turned around.
* * *
{Wastelands}
“I can’t believe you!” Azimuth shouted at the
timestreamer as they ran through Nosgoth “we have a chance to summon up the
most powerful and LOYAL daemon in the entire universe and you call forth a
bloody killer salt shaker”
“It was not my fault” Moebius mumbled but it went
unheard as Azimuth continued to rant
“It wasn’t even as if you had to do a lot just focus
on demonic thoughts not bloody robotic!!!”
“Well I” Moebius was silenced as he was suddenly ran
into by a flustered looking Rahab
“Darlec?” Azimuth asked Rahab frowned and did not get
off the flattened timestreamer “a giant salt shaker screaming ‘Exterminate’”
“Sounds about right” Rahab nodded, Azimuth sighed
“Alright where is it?”
* * *
{Sanctuary}
Kain and Raziel were lounging about the sanctuary.
Kain was half asleep on the throne and Raziel was trying to read, he’d found
one of Lights books from college and sat with it open in his lap
“You know you and this Hitler guy might have really
got along” Raziel muttered at the half asleep vampire dictator “he was lazy to”
“I am not lazy” Kain opened his eyes “I’m un-vigorous”
“EXTERMINATE” a voice suddenly shouted, Kain rolled
his eyes as Raziel squeaked in alarm
“Don’t worry” he sighed as Raziel jumped to his feet
dropping the thick book “she’s been doing that all day” he grinned “made
Moebius move pretty damn fast though”
“Kain” Raziel said slowly, that thing didn’t smell
like Light “what has Light been doing?”
“Saying ‘EXTERMINATE’
in that stupid voice all day” Kain yawned and shuffled about on the throne
getting more comfortable “two word vocabulary that girl, ‘Exterminate’ and ‘food’”
“Has she been doing it while dressed like . . . a
pepper shaker with a nozzle on the top” Raziel was edging backwards now
“A what?” Kain finally opened his eyes and glared at
Raziel who was pointing behind the vampire he sighed loudly refusing to look “its
just Light pissing about”
“AAAAHHHHHhhhhhh” the cry lasted about three seconds
as the authoress bolted past the two muses
“See there she is” Kain shrugged and settled back down
“EXTERMINATE!!!”
Two seconds later both vampire and wraith were seen
bolting from the sanctuary following their authoress.
* * *
{Wastelands}
“We are never going to find this thing” Moebius was
getting fed up chasing the darlec across Nosgoth “Kain’s probably found it and
. . .”
“And?” Azimuth demanded “if magic doesn’t stop it then
I doubt the reaver will”
“He’ll have shouted at it” Moebius shrugged, he
giggled suddenly –which was just wrong- “no doubt it will have gotten sick of
his ability not to understand anything even ‘Exterminate’ and gone home, stupid vampire”
“That stupid vampire has more brains than you think,
more brains than us anyway” Azimuth said suddenly, she stopped running.
“Why do you say that” Moebius asked
“Well” she sighed “we are running towards the darlec
and he’s running away from it” she stepped to the side as vampire, wraith and
feline all bolted past at a scarily high speed. Moebius was not so lucky and
was flattened once again.
“We should run to” Moebius groaned, getting to his
feet watching as the darlec came slowly towards them
“We shall” Azimuth agreed following the three ahead of
them
* * *
{Frozen wastelands}
“What the hell are you doing here” Raziel demanded as
Moebius and Azimuth caught up with them
“Running” Azimuth explained “running away from the
thing”
“Darlec” Moebius wheezed, everyone was rather
impressed as he managed to keep up
“Wait a minuet” Kain stopped running and everyone
barreled into him, he remained standing everyone else wasn’t so lucky. “You
know about this . . . creature”
“Um . . . no” Moebius had realized his mistake
“You! You brought this thing here!” Kain yelled
“YOU owe me an apology” Light booted her vampire in
the back of his knee “all the way here I’ve been listening to ‘Light how stupid can you get’ and ‘who summons darlecs when there’s no way to
stop them’ and ‘brain the size of a
backed bean’”
“Light can this wait” Raziel poked her shoulder and
ducked as a laser shot over his head
“Blames me for everything” Light muttered as the group
resumed its running
Janos’ Aerie loomed in the distance and everyone
sighed in relief. That place was full of stairs and stupidly high balconies
there was now way that the darlec could get them in there
“ELEVATE!!!!” The darlec rose upwards, ignoring the
stairs
“Shit” everyone breathed
* * *
“What the . . .?” Vorador snapped as everyone bolted
inside and started lifting Janos’ furniture against the door. He was unsure
what bothered him more, that his quiet time with his maker had been interrupted
or that Moebius, Raziel and Kain were in the same room and not trying to kill
each other. Janos just watched silently.
“EXTERMINATE!!!” the door and furniture exploded
inwards
“Oh now that’s no way to behave!!” Janos suddenly rose
from behind his desk as the darlec entered the room, everyone else drove behind
it. Kain dragged a confused and pissed off Vorador behind the wood as well.
“EXTERMINATE!!!!”
The darlec aimed its lazar at the ancient and fired, missing by a hairs
breath as Janos leaned to the side
“That is unacceptable behavior” Janos said soft but
firm “I’ll put you in the naughty zone!”
“The naughty zone?” Light raised an eyebrow at Vorador
who blushed
“He keeps watching super nanny it’s not my fault”
Vorador snapped as Janos started trying to push the darlec towards a corner
“That’s a really bad idea” Light muttered
“EXTERMINATE!!!! EXTERMINATE!!!!” the darlec screamed
as it was forced into a corner,
“Now you’ve been put here because you were bad you do
NOT try and exterminate people” Janos scolded, the darlec just looked at him
confused “now say sorry”
“EXTERMINATE!!!!”
“You can stay here for five minuets if you don’t say
sorry!” Janos warned, the darlec shockingly just turned around and faced the
wall.
“It’s sulking?” Raziel breathed. By turning the darlec
had shown the ancient vampire its back and a small red button which was very
dense really. Janos had never heard of curiosity killing the cat, but then
Light was the only cat around so he didn’t really have to worry.
“What does this button do?” Janos asked the very
confused and currently sulking machine, the ancient didn’t wait for a reply, he
pushed the button
“EXTERMINATE!!! EXTERMINATE!!! . . . .CHARACTER
MODIFICATION . . . PEACE AND LOVE!!!
PEACE AND LOVE!!!! PEACE AND LOVE!!!!”
“The darlec has lost it” Azimuth breathed from behind Janos’
desk
“NOT DARLEC, MOONSHINE, PEACE AND LOVE, PEACE AND
LOVE!!!!!”
* * *
{Three days later at Janos’ Aerie}
“Why can’t I get this right?” Light snapped throwing
her pen at her history book “I officially have a whole new reason to hate the
third Reich”
“You hated Tuna before” Kain muttered “but once you
got passed the smell and tried it you liked it”
“You’re comparing Hitler to Tuna?” Light raised an
eyebrow, which you really couldn’t see as the cat-girl was hidden underneath
three blankets and sat on a giant hot water bottle.
“Well why not?” Janos asked “tuna and Hitler . . . .
There are similarities”
“Yeah they both smell” Light snapped huddling into her
bundle.
“SWEET TEA!!!!”
A cup was pushed at the feline, “HAVE A NICE . . . DAY!!!!”
“Thank you” Light sipped the warm drink given to her
by the darlec which was now demanding to be called moonshine and was wearing an
apron covered in kittens that Janos had bought for Light but she’d refused to
wear.
“YOU ARE MOST WELCOME!!!” the darlec almost skidded on
the ice as it returned to the ‘kitchen’
“I still can’t believe you kept it” Kain muttered
looking at the tea cup he’d been given, “theirs oil in this!!” he fished about
for a moment and pulled a bolt out of his cup and threw it at Janos
“It’s learning Kain” Janos glared at the other vampire
while Raziel watched his cup dissolve, the tea inside being highly acidic.
“The tea’s not as bad as when it used its lazar to
clean the cobwebs” Light muttered now chewing her pencil and glaring at her
history book “or when it tried to give you a bath” Janos shuddered
“DID ALL FINISH HOT SWEET TEA!!!” The darlec poked out
of the kitchen, it had now managed to put a flowery hat on.
“Oh yes” “yes it was wonderful” “yum” was the chorus
of cries that met the question
“GOOD!!!! I MAKE APPLE PIE NOW!!!!”
