Pixie sighed, rubbing her temples as she walked down the streets of a town just outside the forest where her family live. "God...dah...be any louder," She muttered. She had just gotten chewed out by her father for not bringing his only grandson with her when she came down to pick up a few things. He had only stopped complaining when her mother had mentioned that Yoh did have a sister he was forgetting about. Embarrassed he had grumbled off to the factory to do god knows what. He hadn't even register that fact that she wasn't comfortable taking her children out of heaven's wing with her just yet. Sure she could defend herself, but she knew she was tiny, and if one of the people who wasn't too happy with her husband had decided that he wanted to take a crack at her, she knew she wouldn't beable to keep herself and the twins safe.

She sighed, looking around the streets. "There used to be a supplier here..." She muttered, though of course, what she was looking for a was a candy shop that made a fudge that she wanted to get for Yoh and Korren's upcoming birthday. She looked around for the candy store, but found nothing there anymore. She frowned. "Musta closed down..." She muttered.

She kept walking around the town, hoping to find that they had moved or something. She was out of luck. A huff escaped her, and standing under a street light she sighed. "oh well..." She muttered, kicking the street lamp. It had already gotten pretty dark, and she was really too tired to keep looking. she gave up, heading back for her jet. Little did she know, she was far from alone.

She wasn't anxious in the woods as she started towards the clearing where she had landed. She grew up playing hide and seek in these woods in the middle of the night. She could get where she needed to go with her eyes close. Though she seriously started to reconsider that when she walked into the clearing and found her jet gone, or when she looked closer..."Tah hell..." in multiple pieces.

Pixie was immediately on guard. Someone had dissembled her jet, and that wasn't a simple. She took a few steps back, but bumped into someone. She looked up at the man that could simply be described at a giant. "Who the hell are-" She was cut off when a a bag was pulled over her head. She twisted and flailed like she was on fire, but that did no good when there were multiple people tying her down, and one of them grew tired of her, and smashed her over the head with a rock.

Back on heaven's wing a call came through to communications, and the people who got the message were too astonished to believe it. They not only got hold of Shade, who had been put in charge of the kids while Pixie was gone, but asked him to come to the control room to double check the message himself.

[Max]

Shade grumbeled, his hands full with the clingy Korren. Lucky for him Yoh was content with a bag of chips and the TV. He finally managed to get Korren off him, and went and checked the message "....." he twitched, a vein appearing on his forehead "......" he punched the screen with his bare fist. But it just went right through "Damn hologram..." he grumbeled, and then stormed out of the room, heading towards the hangar.

On the way he met Max and Yuuji, who were both searching for their own wifes. When Yuuji finaly managed to get Shade to tell him what was going on, Max and Yuuji got a veeeeryyyy bad feeling, so they both joined him. They boarded their jets, and flew out of the flying fortress. Only the three of them. Shade didn't want any big army to get involved, what was happening was personal.

The three got to the base in record time, and of course all the AA turrets were shooting at them, but Max, Shade and Yuuji did the insane, and just jumped out of the jets, and since they were all somewhat super human (Max being a demon and Yuuji and Shade being biologicaly fucked up) they all landed on their feet, perfectly fine. The three jets crashing into one of the buildings.

Shade pulled out some sort of iPhone like thing "Well...." Shade gave it to Yuuji "Teishu and Nina are here, but their in that building, Pixies in that one" Shade said "See ya" He said and ran off. Yuuji and Max looked at each other, and ran into the building where the device was showing NIna's and Teihu's DNA signals.

Shade just blasted his way through the security and the guards, his weapon turning everything into dust. He finally got to the cell where Pixie was being held, and he just slammed himself into the door, most likely breaking his shoulder since that door was reinforced, but he broke it off still.

Max and Yuuji just hacked and slashed their way through the enemies, leaving a bloody trail in their wake. When they got the room where Nina and Teishu were bieing held, they were obstructed by a massive thick metal door "I don't think It'll exactly be just them..." Yuuji muttered "Alright, cut it open" Max said, and Yuuji did just that, using his sword he cut a door shaped hole, but it didn't fall. Max then kicked it down, and a bunch of tendril shot from his arm, going into the room, impaling anyone there, but missing Teishu and Nina. After that they both ran in.

[Chesa]

Literally as Max pushed the door out of the way there were three gun shots. One the inside, Teishu and Nina were laying side by side. A bullet straight through Teishu's head, and one in Nina's arm, where the shooter missed, and then in her neck, where the fatal blow hit. Teishu's eyes were shut, she had been crying and silently pleading before death, where as Nina's were open, a certain glaze over them not from death. She had had a flash. She knew they were coming, but never got the chance to see it. Their shooter was lying with the few other dead men, the gun still clutched in his hand.

Shade was a little luckier. Pixie was bound in the cell. She was horribly beaten, and fading in and out, barely registering the fact Shade had entered. So many things were going through her mind. Was she going to live? Did they have her children too?

her head bobbed to the side when she looked over at Shade, her face was badly cut, on deep gash running right between her eyes. She would've said something, but the gag she had on prevented her from saying anything.

Now these men were not idiots, they didn't just do this without expecting some sort of destruction. The base sparsely had people in it. Not enough to make it suspicious, but few enough to make it look like they weren't prepared, but they were. Out side, right in the trees, was a massive ambush.

[Max]

Yuuji was the one who had time to register the gun shots. And he was the first one to see what he really didn't want to see "......" His heart clenched and just stopped right there. He fell to his knees, dropping his sword. He was staring into space, in utter shock. Not wanting to balieve what he was seeing. He had saved so many people before, when he was sent on missions by the army. But he couldn't save his own wife....

Max on the other hand wasn't in shock, he was just looking at Teishu "......." he silently walked up to her body, and touched the bullet wound in her head. A little black smudge appeared on it, and it healed perfectly, event the blood dissapeared. He did the same to Nina, aswell as closing her eyes "Come on" he said to Yuuji, picking up Teishu. "...." Yuuji slowly stood up, grabbing his sword, putting it on his back. He pulled out two little capsules and threw them on the ground. Large pods formed from them. They looked like they were meant to be escape pods in a space ship. Max laid Teishu in one, and Yuuji laid Nina in the other. They both pressed in some numbers on the little console. And the pods suddenly took off, heading home, to Heaven's Wings.

After that the two were silent just staring at the hole in the cieling the two pods made when they flew. Once the pods were out of sight though, the calmness went away. Max just swung his arm, a massive cut appearing on the wall. And Yuuji punched the wall infront of him, cracking it "Dammit..." he muttered "I'm gonna make them pay...every last one of them...I'm gonna make sure they die in the most horrible way possible..." he growled, clenching his fist. Max looked at the corridor they came from "...Well..." he looked at the device Shade gave him "Lotsa DNA signals comming from outside now...guessits an ambush" he said, Yuuji smirked, grabbing the sword off his back "Hah...lets make it into a massacre." He said, and ran, Max following.

Once they got outside they didn't even try to guard themseleves, they were just murdering left and right, ignoring their own wounds which were piling up one by one.

Shade imidietly shot every person in the room, and then ran to Pixie, ripping the cell apart, getting her out. He gently held her, slowly laying her on the ground, though he kept the top half of her body in his arms "You're gonna be OK...don't worry, I'll get you out" he said, smiling. Which alone was a bad omen. Shade never smiled, he grinned. He looked over his shoulder, hearing the sounds from the battle raging outside "...."

[Chesa]

Pixie's head fell backwards, and then slowly came up. She was shaking from how hard she had to try to focus on him to see him. She saw that smile, and even now, she knew better. "I'm...nah...doin tah well...." She said, again loosing the strength to even keep her head up. She stayed still for a few minutes, before slowly lifting her head again. "Yer a.....lier," She said, only half her words understandable at this point. "Ima...die...aren't I?" She asked. She was at such a lose of energy that nothing seemed real to her. Even the fact that she knew she was slipping was becoming surreal to her.

She lightly gripped his arm, barely able to grab the cloth of his jacket, and the only reason she managed it was because her hands was already on his arm. Suddenly it was as if everything came crashing onto her, making the weight that much greater. She started to shake again, small tears sliding down her cheeks. "I dun..wanna die...shade," She whispered, and barely that. It was more of a whimper. Her grip was loosening again, and she wasn't focusing on him anymore.

The battle outside raced on. For a minute there it seemed that Yuuji and Max were winning, until the second wave hit. They started becoming more and more ravinous, attacking them as if they had just murdered their loved ones. They seemed to be focusing on Max, since his injuries were greater at this point.

[Max]

Shade just smiled the entire time. He moved his arms so he was supporting her head aswell "Hey, hell if Know" He said, answering her 'I'ma die arent I' question "You're just really badly bruised is all, you'll pass out and wake up ina hospital bed in a day or two" he said "Though you might have to stay in bed for a month or two...and no you cant go to work" he said, smiling.

Though he twitched slightly, his own tears starting to for "Ahh hell...got something in my eyes" he said, though he didn't wipe his eyes. He ignored the fact that his bac was turned and he was exposed to a sneak attack, and the fact that his friends were getting killed outside. He moved Pixies head up a bit, and gently kissed her lips "Sorry...just got the sudden urge" he said, gently kissing her again.

Becouse Of Max's body, his wounds werent as bad as they seemed. He was healing fast and just kept slaughtering them. Though some wounds weren't closing up. He was tired and his body could only take so much shifting and healing. Yuuji's outfit was bullet proof, so only those who came up close and personal managed to REALLY hurt him. But he was a master swordsman, he took out anyone who got close. Though eventualy, Yuuji was the first one to fall. His body bruised and beaten, one lucky shot to the botom of his spine paralized him, and then a bullet to the head.

Max kept fighting, though now with Yuuji gone, he was the main target, and being as tired as he already was, he didn't stance much of a chance. He fell to his knees, bullets hitting him like rain "Not...done....yet..." he braethed out, his body starting to 'bubble' He yelled out, as millions of tendrils shot from his entire body reaching far and wide, killing everyone around. Though after that, the tendrils dissapeared, and Max fell, he last bit of his life spent on that desperate attempt at defense.

Shade felt the tremor when Max made his final strugle. He was still kissing Pixie, holding her close '...Sorry Korren...Yoh...' He pulled something out of his jacket. It was a small granade flash granade like container, though it had a button at the top instead of a pin. He moved it so it was held with Pixies hand and his. He pulled back, holding her close, his forehead against hers. He was full out crying at his point. Though he still smiled "This'll save us both...press it and we'll both be back home...Korren really was clingy, I had a hard time peeling her off so I could get here...And Yoh's been lazing around watching TV all day...I think ya need to teach him some work" he said, now babling nonsense.

[Chesa]

Though again more and more soldiers were showing up, and now with the two other targets down, there was only one left. They flooded onto the base, heading towards the cell that the woman had been held in, the rucous was loud, but the only thing Pixie could her was her own heart beat, and Shade's voice. She had lost her vision at this point, and she was staring blankly up. She felt the thing move into her hand. Her hand twitched, it's last attempt to to make a move and close around whatever it was that the devise happened to be. "I...can' see..." She muttered, her life barely there at this point, but it was obvious Shade knew that already.

It literally took all the effort she could muster to move her thumb over the button. She never had questioned the crazy gadgets Shade's egg heads had mustered up, so the thought that a single button could do what he had said wasn't a really weird thought, but of course that wasn't passing through her mind, none of it. She just tried to do what he said, but she didn't even have the strength for that. "I can'..." She whimpered, her body becoming chill in a rush.

[Max]

Shade just smiled "Thats the thing...it takes the both of us" he said, putting his thumb on the button aswell. A little click noise, and the butten became as easy to press down as it is up pick up a feather, and it sunk in. Shade hugged her tight "I love you..." he said. And then, just a bright flash. No sound of explosions, no buzzy noises. Nothing. Everything just went white and silent. Not even the wind made any sounds.

From afar, the entire area was covered in a white dome that was rapidly explanding. It was consuming everything it touched. The buildings the people the grounds. Everything. It expanded about 70 miles, and then just faded away. A massive crater left in its place. There was no dust, no smoke, no debree, just a masive, smooth crater. Nothing was left there, not even a spec of dust.

Shade and Pixie were gone aswell, they weren't home, they weren't in the hospital. In the main control room, where Heaven's Wings heart was, the massive screen was showing two images. One of Shade, and one of Pixie. Though their images were shrowded in a red glow, and one word was flashing silently blow them.
The only person there, Shadow, was looking up at the screen, staring blankly at it "...Deciest."
