Hikaru only glared at him, "You had not informed me I was joining a damn cult!" Her expression was one of pure anger as she pointed at him and expressed, "You tricked me! And I will have no further part of it! And this seems to be only a trick as well!" She turned back to glaring at Insana, "Soul huh? Where?! That imaginary corner over there? Given how this has gone so far, I would not doubt it. " Hikaru scoffed in sarcasm.

"Either start giving straight answers and stop your incessant rhyming while you are at it or stop wasting my time and I will look for the damn fool myself!"

"By the look upon your frown, you assume the soul would come now. Im sorry to say, you were mistaken. We've one last thing to awaken." Insana said.

"Im afraid he's right, Miss Tyris. He never explicitly said your soul was in here... he simply asked that you comply for a short while longer before he offers you the reward you seek." Resalka said. "So, the faster we get this ceremony over with, the faster you can go with Lord Primoris and retrieve your soul from the Demonic General."

Insana simply walked ahead of her towards the altar and motioned for her to follow.

However Hikaru was having no more part of any of it. Arms crossed, she remained standing where she was and only glared, "I fail to see why you could not have informed me of that to begin with. But whatever, I will follow no further till I know in clear detail what exactly it is I am complying to. You have so far tricked me thus far, and I absolutely refuse to belittle myself and resort to following like that of a sheep with no clear direction."

Admiral Regis Hermitage · « **Reply #28 on:** November 13, 2012, 02:46:52 AM »

"In order to proceed any further on your own path to your own objectives, you must complete this, Ms. Tyris. There is no other , or easier way" Resalka said.

Queen Bright · « **Reply #29 on:** November 13, 2012, 08:12:39 PM »

"And this would be a prime example as to why you do not agree to join cults."

Hikaru sighed, "At least it got us here, and we know the moron is here as well."

"Yes, but now we are expected to follow further and unable to back out."

"At least that is what is expected. But I have a much better idea... NOW we ditch him." With that, Hikaru smirked at the both of them, "And still you refuse to inform me what exactly it is that I am supposed to comply to. Oh well, I figured you would say that. Which is why I am through playing games..." Then with a flick of her right hand, a wall of god fire flared into life in front of Hikaru, blocking the path between her and the two of them.

The godfire was of course, created through spirit energy as she had no magic and thus should have been impossible as Hikaru had used up most of her spirit energy. However due to the nature of the spell that had split her and her counterpart, which had split the spirit completely, it left her with the same amount of spirit energy to draw from as her own, just from her counterparts half of the spirit instead.

With the godfire as a distraction, Hikaru took the chance to slip back out the chuch doors and back into the city crowds.

Admiral Regis Hermitage · « **Reply #30 on:** November 27, 2012, 12:49:11 AM »

Insana chuckled... "How cute..." he commented. He melted into the floor to intercept her.

As Hikaru went into the crowds, people parted as if she were infected with a disease... as she did not bear the mark of the demented and was unescorted, people knew to stay far away. "Now thats not nice..." A voice blared near her as Insana reformed directly infront of her. "You are in the wrong place to try to play a game of hide and seek.... I am the gamemaster of this realm." he stated. "I see, hear all, and know all." he added.

"Are we going to take her life?" a wispy demonic voice asked in excitement.

"That is entirely up to her, Rtas." Insana replied.

Queen Bright · « **Reply #31 on:** November 27, 2012, 08:52:06 PM »

Hikaru paid no attention to the reactions she was receiving, though she did notice them. "Yes, well I never said I was nice," she muttered in response when stopped. "Nor did I ever say I was hiding. Quite the opposite, really." She stared him straight on and glared directly at him. "I only came here to find my soul, and have no interest in wasting time joining cults. I only agreed to follow you in order to get here and retrieve my soul from that bastard! I have repeated this time and time again, and still it seems you do not understand!"

With a growl to accompany it, Hikaru's glare intensified, "THEREFORE! With knowledge enough that he is here. I have decided, I WILL FIND HIM MYSELF!"

Admiral Regis Hermitage · « **Reply #32 on:** November 29, 2012, 09:38:58 PM »

"You will not find him here..." Insana said. "You are impatient, as i would have expected of some one like you. Entitled, and proud, you think that everyone is accountable to you." he melts down and appears right behind her.

"That you are better than everyone...." he continued, his voice growing slightly more angry each time. "You are no different than the others." he shouted at her.

Queen Bright · « **Reply #33 on:** November 29, 2012, 10:29:11 PM »

"Well excuse me for being a little more than irritated at being forced to join something I have no interest in and tricked into doing so, just to retrieve something that is already rightfully mine!" Hikaru crossed her arms and turned around to face him, noting his tone of voice. At this point, she could not afford to pick a fight with him, but that may have been easier said than done as she was already tired of this nonsense and by now getting angrier herself.

"But with what I have been through in the last year... Or was it eight? Due to events surrounding such, I am not entirely sure." Hikaru shook her head, " Either way... I have more than enough right to be impatient! You people reveal nothing, exchanging explanation for stupid rhyming and pathetic riddles and give no straight answers resorting to trickery or what appears to be trickery, just to get people to join your damn cult. And then you expect me to be patient? Hah! That is a laugh if I ever heard one!"

Curiosity then got the better of her as Hikaru muttered, "...What others?"

Admiral Regis Hermitage · « **Reply #34 on:** December 02, 2012, 08:26:25 PM »

"The other embodiments, of course." Insana said. "The ones who cast me away." he continued. He was becoming even angrier just by the talk of them. His sword drawn, he approached Hikaru. "The ones whom you are acting like." he narrowed his eyes.

"Yes! Yes! Spill her blood upon the ground!" Rtas, his sword began to tempt him.

Queen Bright · « **Reply #35 on:** December 02, 2012, 09:08:53 PM »

"Yes well... How about you punish me for that after I have my magic back?" Hikaru suggested, sounding unimpressed, though she did keep her eyes trained to the sword, watching for any slight change of movement to avoid. Insolent fool, if she had her magic he would have been dead ages ago.

Admiral Regis Hermitage · « **Reply #36 on:** December 03, 2012, 04:29:54 AM »

He slowly brought his sword up to neck level. "Do not test me girl.... you are but a child in my eyes, lacking the experience to know better.Do not make the false assumption that i am good, and merciful. I will not hesitate to take your life for myself if need be." Insana remarked.

"Blood! Blood!" Rtas started to get excited, hoping that Insana would indeed kill her.

"CHILDREN know not what they do, Rtas. This is your final warning Ms. Tyris. Do not call my bluff." Insana said.

Queen Bright · « **Reply #37 on:** December 03, 2012, 06:25:48 AM »

"Just who the hell does he think he is calling a child?!"

Hikaru chose not to answer the other Hikaru, but instead sighed aloud. "And here I thought all gods were supposed to b merciful... Though I guess that does not count when you have a mental disorder for a god, does it?" She gave a short laugh at her own joke, followed by a smirk. Though her tone was all sarcasm and humor, something Hikaru was known to do when she felt fear before an enemy; her gaze never left the sword the entire time.

Though proud, Hikaru was no fool. She was barely hanging on as it was, what with having used nearly all of her own and her other halves spirit energy in the last 'attacks'. In fact, if not for that damn technological energy, that 'Elite Energy' as they had called it, she would not be standing as by all rights she should have fallen unconscious long ago when she had first exhausted herself. But somehow it kept the exhaustion from lack of energy at bay. And though she knew it would heal any physical damage she received, much like her own Phoenix capabilities from when she had her magic. She did not know its capability in handling magical damage, which she could almost bet would be the end result. Sadly for him, she did not have the death wish to test it, either.

Finally, Hikaru closed her eyes and sighed once again, bowing her head in recognition of defeat. "But fine, you have won. I will continue playing your damn games... for now."

"WHAT?!!"

"However, once I have my magic back, you will no longer have the upperhand..." Hikaru quickly muttered the last statement to herself in whispered annoyance.

Admiral Regis Hermitage · « **Reply #38 on:** December 03, 2012, 10:59:43 PM »

Insana rested his blade on the back of her neck, but made sure to to make a wound. "You need to realize that that life you hold so dearly, can so easily be taken from you..." Insana said to her. "And were it not for the Countess, i would have listened to Rtas, and taken it."

He lifted his blade off of her neck and sheathed it. "However, this will not go unpunished. You've set yourself back a great deal." he said. He laid his hand on her shoulder and the city landscape melted away into the dismal, barren landscape of the far dark side. A place that looked almost like hell to most people, Before them stood a large tower guarded by several of Insana's honor guard.

Queen Bright · « **Reply #39 on:** December 04, 2012, 12:11:43 AM »

"And now he treats us like some common servant! Punished? Where does he even get the right?! Last I checked we did not sell our soul to him! Even if we had it to sell..."

"Grrr.. save it." Hikaru muttered through grit teeth as she raised her head back up in glare. Choosing to then ignore Insana, Hikaru stayed mostly silent, only replying to her counterpart, "In all technicalities it is your fault we are even in this mess... Had you not gone all battle happy and killed my fath- ...the leader of the Anrufe, or even made that deal.. Hell would not have been destroyed and we could have simply killed the demon at a later time or let K2323 do it for us...But noooo. Instead you responded to impulse, something I started to refrain from long ago and look where it has ended us up! Taking orders from a damn nutjob being forced to endure his ramblings! Perfect. Just how I wanted to spend my next few years." The sarcasm practically dripped from Hikaru's every word as she mumbled in rant.

"Though I do wonder...." Hikaru let the thought trail off before she quickly shook her head, dismissing the thought before glancing to the surrounding area. "And just what the hell are you planning now...?" The sage sounded uninterested.

Admiral Regis Hermitage · « **Reply #40 on:** December 05, 2012, 11:24:13 PM »

"A wise man once told me.... 'Living in the past is a luxury none can afford. You must learn from it but you cannot live there. The future is where you must be... The future is what you must prepare yourself for.' This seems to be quite fitting in your situation here, Ms. Tyris." Insana said. "But please follow me... We are seeing now if you have a future."

Insana strolled towards the tower, motioning her to come along. There wasnt much else out here.

Queen Bright · « **Reply #41 on:** December 06, 2012, 12:03:27 AM »

"For some of us, the past is the only happiness left..." Hikaru quickly mumbled before reluctantly following. It was obvious that he had been paying attention to what she had said to her counterpart. Or had he been listening the entire time and just pretending he wasn't? Hikaru quickly shook her head, Either way, it looked like she would have to ignore the other Hikaru for the time being. At least until he stopped paying attention to what was said.

Admiral Regis Hermitage · « **Reply #42 on:** December 07, 2012, 09:27:50 PM »

"If your happiness is in the past, then the further you will go into the dark side of insanity." Insana says. "This is why you are here.... To focus not on the past, but to find your future."

They arrived at the large doorway to the tower. "Take my hand, accept my plea." he outstretches his hand for her to take. "For your future is what we shall see."

Queen Bright · « **Reply #43 on:** December 08, 2012, 12:39:36 AM »

Oh great, now he was treating her like a child alongside calling her one?! Would there be no end to the humiliation?!! Of course she could always refuse but... Hikaru glanced around her for a moment. It did not appear as if it would get her anywhere but stranded.... "Grrr... I will not be making a habit of this," Hikaru finally spoke up, taking his hand. "So do not expect it!"

Admiral Regis Hermitage · « **Reply #44 on:** December 09, 2012, 05:23:46 PM »

As she grabs his hand, he gave the door a hard knock that resonated through the building. The large doors slowly opened into a large room with nothing in it other than torches that lit up the place. Then...

Kaaaaakreeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!

A large creature appeared before them ready to attack them. The creature ran to approach them, and stopped before Insana.

Kaaaaaakreeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!

It reared up, with its claws ready. "Down boy." Insana said calmly. The creature lowered its large head down to Insana and threw its but up in the air like a dog. "Hikaru, this is Mr. Pinch." he introduces his pet. "Mr. Pinch, this is Hikaru....."

Pinch looked at Hikaru, and sniffed her. Insana nodded, and the creature licked her in the face with its long tongue. "He likes you."

Queen Bright · « **Reply #45 on:** December 09, 2012, 05:52:55 PM »

Stay calm... Stay calm... All she had to do was stay calm until she could retrieve her soul... Even if that was becoming ever difficult to do with every passing minute. With a growl, Hikaru mentally forced herself to refrain from yelling, instead, she only glared as she mumbled, "Whatever..." without fear and wiped the slobber from her face with her sleeve.

Admiral Regis Hermitage · « **Reply #46 on:** December 10, 2012, 04:45:57 PM »

"Run along to maim some people, Mr. Pinch." Insana said, and pet is creature on its head.

Kaaaaakreeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!

It ran off over the a wall. With little effort, its climbed up the wall, and laid down on the ceiling above them. Curling up, it decided to sleep. "He's cute, isnt he?" Insana asks.

"Anyways, moving along here." he leads her down a hallway to a winding set of staircases. "Not very many people come here you know... and the ones that do rarely ever leave alive. Of course, they also dont have me with them." he starts to ramble about some of the grotesque events that happened.

Queen Bright · « **Reply #47 on:** December 10, 2012, 09:48:59 PM »

"I would not know. I do not do cute..." Hikaru's expression made her look uninterested and practically bored. Was he actively trying to annoy her now? It was starting to look that way. Maybe that was the 'punishment,' days of everything that could possibly annoy and piss her off. Hikaru could only hope not... "Why are we even here? I understand you are holding some kind of grudge against me for making you mad back there. But where does that give you the right to drag me off to god only knows where? It is not as if I am your prisoner or under your control or anything.. I had full rights to leave your building... In fact! If not for my soul being here, I would have left this entire place long ago!"

Hikaru sighed, "And is the hand-holding really necessary?!"

Admiral Regis Hermitage · « **Reply #48 on:** December 10, 2012, 09:59:58 PM »

"Yes, unless you want Mr. Pinch and the rest of my pets to feast upon your body." Insana says casually. "I believe you saw my dragon, Ender back on Insanus at the maze." he continued on rambling about Ender, and the rest of his pets, and back about the people who died quite horribly in the tower.

"Oh yes, then there was this one fellow.... Narikian i think. He met Mr. Pinch, and well, he isnt with us anymore. Of course i try not to let people die randomly, since Skye doesnt approve of it... have you met Skye? She's a lovely girl." he gets a smile on his face as they ascend the staircase.

Queen Bright · « **Reply #49 on:** December 10, 2012, 10:07:35 PM »

After the last question, Hikaru could finally take no more and growled, shouting, "DO YOU EVER SHUT UP?!!"
