She flexes her fingers a bit, then makes eye contact with Nicole and says, "You bet! What about you?"


Kravitz holds up a finger like he's about to retort, but then he falls flat. "R... right..." He vanishes in shame, but his disembodied voice leaves an ominous parting message. "In that case, I'll send a certain co-worker of mine to sort things out. You'll find her to have... well, let's just say a more fiery temper."

Vaal Hazak sniffs the mind-controlled man. It very clearly hungers for living flesh... not to mention it has a personal vendetta against humans (the part Azzam wouldn't know is that this is a grudge held by all Elder Dragons, of which Vaal Hazak is only one specimen).

"Good lord, reapers are obnoxious." he says, stepping down. "Always bugging you about unlife or undeath and then trying to get the last word by sending someone else. I wonder if she has the right to hunt us down... or if she simply operate out of the law."

He shrugs.

"i'll deal with her accordingly."

Azzam looks up to the beast and nods, allowing him to feast

Vaal Hazak eats the man whole.

   "I can tell you what I do, babe,"    says Lup, appearing in a burst of flame.    "I be a lich, I make magic itself my bitch, and I set shit that bothers my brother's hubby on fire. And my casting finger's got a nasty itch."   

After licking up any remains, Hazak turns to Azzam with an expression that clearly says, Fuck these people, then turns back to Lup and tries to tackle her out of the lair and off the mountain.

"I understand, Aunt, given how... intense that whole situation with Niko was. Speaking of Niko, has he recovered from that day or does he still need time?"


Nicole flashes a smile at the girl, then she spreads her dragon wings.

"Heh, something tells me that this oughta answer your question."

Retracting her wings, she extends a hand towards her fellow half-dragon.

"My name's Nicole, by the way. Always a pleasure to meet another half-dragon."

"He did recover and we spoke." she says. "It went for a long time but this allowed us to talk things out, so life will be better. That said, we must not forget the costs of that success, such as Greyface or potentially dozen of lives ending."

"Humph, what is it with everyone finding my lair ?" he says, raising his hands in synch with all of his followers.

The girl shakes Nicole's hand. She has, suffice to say, a strong grip. "Half-dragons in my world are called Draconians. So, what do people do for fun in this... place?"


Lup lets Vaal Hazak slam into her, carrying her off the mountain. Then she holds out a hand, and Hazak gets launched back up by an explosion of flame.

"If it's any consolation, Aunt Sarah, I don't believe anyone actually died that day. You and Aunt Nicole made sure of that."

Erik sits down on a nearby bench, then motions for Sarah to join him.

"And if Greyface tries anything funny now that he's back to his old self, I expect someone will put a quick stop to it."


"Oof... and I thought that Kira girl had a vice grip of a handshake..."

Rubbing her hand a little after the handshake, Nicole gives the Dragonian girl a look.

"Let's see... if you ever need a sparring partner or maybe just someone to hang out with, you probably won't need to look very far. Also, there are other half-dragons who frequent this world besides yours truly."

She sit next to him.

"True, but I feel bothered about it;.. I should visit the person who made that machine. Not to punch them, mind you. They could simply be curious or they could have left it by accident."

Sarah sighs.

"However, I need excuses or at least, a promise that the machine will not be careless left accessible like that. I am at fault for not watching my children closer but that person is also responsible."

He create a barrier around his lair, the other liches sing as well, pink wisps flowing in the air.

The girl smiles. "Just call me Nik," she says (it's pronounced Neek). "It's my last name, but my first name is embarrassing to say aloud.

"Sparring, huh? Got any special magic powers?" Nik asks.


Vaal Hazak lands inside the lair and collapses.

Lup smirks as she plummets. She thinks to herself,    That'll have been enough for a good scare, I think. No reason to bother actually trying to get rid of 'em.    Then she tucks, rolls, and disappears into a suddenly-opening portal.

Southern area of New Los Angeles

Greyface puts some small, but heavy metal bars onto his platform, after which he sits down in front of it as he catches his breath, having had to carry them out of a nearby house. He doesn't keep sitting for long though, getting up and looking frustrated.

   "Damnit, this is useless. It doesn't matter how much metal I take with me if I have no location to use as a lab!"   

He starts walking in a circle around his platform.

   "I can't possibly show my face around Giygas after this long an absence. I can't find Elmadan anywhere so the ship is a no-go. I can't show up at Pseudo's door - not that I'd want to considering Ness is there - and there's no point in approaching that big robot guy who helped Claus because, judging by what Claus said, he'd kill me if he finds out what I want to build. And the Assassins... I'd be crazy to go to them!"   

He takes the blueprints for his robot suit, looks it over, then angrily messes with his hair.

   "AGH! Such potentially brilliant design, perfect for getting back at that pigs butt and his annoying friends, but in the position I'm in now I can't even try to build it!"   

He pauses at the thought of Ness and his friends, looking a little sad, but he quickly shakes it off and clasps his hands together.

   "Alright, no, let's not go crazy over this. I need to think long and hard about how I'm going to do this. I have a few tools, some metal, and no lab. I don't have any of Giygas' forces to protect any lab I might try to set up either... ugh, this plan is seriously going nowhere..."   

In the year 202X, all is devastation... Soon, any last shred of hope had by the saintliest optimist shall die and decay.

Erik gives Sarah a concerned look.

"Are... you certain investigating this machine's creator is a good idea, Aunt Sarah? Considering how you went after Mara even when Mother and Uncle Pietro advised you not to, I'm admittedly worried that you might do something rash here as well."


Nicole raises an eyebrow at Nik.

"Unless your parents were cruel enough to name you something that sounds like 'Dumbass', your first name can't be that embarrassing. As for my powers..."

She conjures a pair of Arcane Orbs in her hands, then dispels them.

"I've got Arcane Magic, the ability to go transform into my Draconic form, and the enhanced strength you'd expect from a half-dragon."

"Hooho, but it is going somewhere." says a voice behind him. If he turn around, he'd see... nothing at first, there's a figure sitting cross-legged near a window though, clad in darkness and looking down at him.

"You need stuff. And I can give it to you;" she says. "Materials, protection... anything you want."

"Hum ? That person probably isn't nearly as strong as Mara and probably isn't as malevolent as her." she says. "I can understand being wary of me going after Mara but I doubt that anything wrong could happen to me if I were to find that person."

She shrugs.

"I'm not interested in doing anything rash. I want to find an answer but unless he turns out to be aggressive or really uncaring, I won't be attacking. We might even get a nice chat."

The liches raises their hands and the entire lair is teleported away in the sands of Oblivia, with Azzam putting up barriers to block any attempt at finding them easily.

"Humph." he says. "I liked that peak too."

Nik creates a bubble of rippling space and holds it close to Nicole's head... and Nicole will hear a sound from it like an earthquake bass-boosted beyond the level of an Internet meme. "I got sound manipulation, super strength and speed, and my own transformation, though it isn't very... draconic, to say the least."

Vaal Hazak is transported with the lair, along with its undead Girros minions (which are now just dead). Seems Lup's blast put some serious hurt on it. It groans.

Greyface immediately jumps onto his platform at the sound of the unfamiliar voice, taking no chance since he's basically helpless without it. Then he starts to look around for who spoke to him. He sees the somewhat ominous figure and looks somewhat wary.

   "... And who're you supposed to be?"

"Still, whenever something like this happens with your family, your judgement tends to be... clouded. I mean no offense or disrespect, of course. And for all we knew, the one who created that machine could be dangerous. I imagine they'd have to be in order to create something like that."


Nicole jumps in surprise at the rather loud sound emitting from Nik's rippling space bubble.

"Dayum! Remind me to give you a call if I ever wanna try deafening or jump scaring someone, Nik!"

She gives a good-natured chuckle, then fixes her with a curious look.

"So... what'cha mean by a 'not very draconic' transformation, exactly?"

He keep the fire spell in mind as he toss a healing spell at the dragon.

"Humph, that woman could be a problem with that kind of power." he says. "Scratch that, she will be problematic."

"I know, but I don't want to lose myself to anger yet, so I'll keep my mind unclouded. My goal is to solve this, hopefully without shedding blood. If that person is malevolent, I'll end their life for what they did."

"But don't worry about my quest, I'm strong, aren't I ? And I'll trust my judgement to avoid making any angry mistake. Aging taught me that."

The person jump down to reveal... a girl, the age of a teenager, in some kind of arabic clothing.

"my name is Tijara, I come for the desperate and the needful."

Greyface appears offended.

   "Desperate!? Needful!? Me!?"   

He then pauses and turns his head away.

   "... ugh, maybe I am those things. But only a little!"

"It's more of a general power-up than anything dragon-specific, and the only 'transformation' component is... well, I'll just show you."

Nik's eyes slowly turn from green to yellow, emitting a literal glow bright enough that she could see clearly with them in pitch blackness. A pair of dragon wings with the same sky-blue scales as the patches all over her violently erupt out of her back, tearing through her hoodie as she begins to lift off the ground slightly. "In this form, I have increased strength, speed, and control of my powers, along with magical flight."

"Very well, but you wouldn't object if either myself, Mother and Uncle Pietro, or anyone else accompanied you, right?"


Intrigued, Nicole looks on at Nik's transformation.

"Hmm... Even if it's not a full-on Draconic form, that transformation still looks pretty badass. Speaking of which..."

White scales begin to form on her arms.

"Wanna see my Draconic form?"

"Hm, don't worry. Soon, you won't need to admit that fact." she says, raising her arm to reveal that her hand is covered behind a red, bone-like gloves with nasty claws. "You just need to wish it and I'll take care of the rest."

She smiles, its actually reassuring.

"Hm, if you want." she says. "And if it makes you more confortable."

Greyface still looks somewhat reluctant, since he no longer has Giygas to fall back on if he gets into trouble, but he also appears curious.

   "Wish it? ... Tell me more."

"Alright. While my parents did teach me to be cautious, especially where this world is concerned, Niko's still my cousin and I'd rather not see anyone else go through what he did."

Erik flashes a smile at Sarah.

"So... thank you, Aunt Sarah."


"Okay, here it comes..."

Nicole takes a moment to transform into her Draconic form, then glances at Nik with her now-green, reptilian eyes as she waits for her response.


In whatever part of the city Greyface is at, BE!Pietro is currently spying on both him and Tijara from behind a building.

"Oh, great, this psychotic little brat's back in town. I wonder how he's planning on making some poor kid's life utter hell for shits and giggles this time..."

"Its what it say on tin. Wish it to me and I'll do it for you. I can temporarily gain the power to make your wish come true, and afterwards, it'll stick." she says. "If you ask, there is nothing for you to offer me afterwards, the mere wish is enough."

She hold up a human hand now, in contrast with her more demonic half.

"I'll help you." she says, winking.

"Your parents are wise. I did taught my children to be careful but I'm not blaming them, this place is odd after all." declare Sarah.
