Skye Prower

"That was just a taste," warned Miles as he moved in deeper, gaining more access. He went over the chinks in the first memory, seeing where to clues to it's faults lay, so the next memory would be harder to resist.. 'If you're such a good person,' thought Miles, 'let's see how you react to being bad.' He conjured one of his own memories of tormenting a Moebian town in his much younger days with the anti-freedom fighters up to use as a base. Miles began to alerting it, changing the location, inserting Zamy instead of him, and some of her friends in place his companions, making sure, now he had deeper access to Zamy's memories, that they were acting as close to character as he could make them. And most importantly, made sure Zamy in the memory was enjoying what she was doing. "This is for accusing me of wanting to prance in a dress," hissed Miles has his fired the fake memory into Zamy's mind.

"Kind of?" Skye repeated, not sure what she was implying. ------------ "Why did she head up there in the first place?" Ziona wondered. (ooc: Well Locke, you're the one who got all the relationships with my characters!) ------------ Melody realised someone was speaking to her. But she couldn't respond at all. Inside her head she began scream, her heart beating even faster. ----------- "Should have expected that," muttered Miles as the maze shifted. He completely the new memory in Zamy's mind. For now it was small, but as he moved through the maze, Miles would be able to make larger and stronger memories.

(ooc: Night Dylan. Aside from the Miles/Zamy mind battle there shouldn't be much else I suspect.) Miles looked at Dylan. "So wait, he's the reason your so angry at me?" ----------- "Oh, how quaint," said Miles at Zamy's maze. "It may delay me, but it won't stop me," he said, 'entering' the maze. 'And it won't stop me making a few additions to your mind for me to exploit' he thought to himself, as he started to implant a memory.

*blinks* What just h-happened? ... You've g-got no a-arms... H-how d-did you pull t-that o-out? How d-do you w-wind it...? *clutches head* I j-just gave myself a h-headache.

I wonder i-if being h-half eaten a-affect i-it in any way?

"If Miles is up there, he should be cut off from most of his magic," said Miles, then he blinked. "That... that was... really weird..." ---------------- "You're my inferior. It doesn't matter what I do to you," said Miles arrogantly. "And if you've no traumatic memories to exploit, how about I add a few?"

"What's she doing way up there?" asked Anna. "You can barely see her." "I don't think those boots were designed for that kind of moment," muttered Miles. -------------- "I am not a freak," growled Miles angrily. "I think it's time I used your own mind against you. There must be some traumatic memory somewhere in here."

"I don't know," called over Anna to Dylan. "I lost sight of him when the earthquake hit." "Hey, where did Zamy go too?" asked Miles. -------------- "I don't like what your insinuating," hissed Miles. "And I think I will, because obviously 'you' were successful in killing 'me'."

I'll try not to! Spark, you want a go?

"That's not very funny," muttered Miles bitterly as he grabbed hold. "Stop complaining Miles. You didn't exactly make a good first impression," said Anna. -------------- Miles paused briefly. "That never crossed my mind. I simply thought you might be useful as you seem close with my younger self."

"Just wanted to make sure. After what you said in the pool..." said Anna, taking his hand. "Uh, and you are?" asked the younger Miles. -------------- "Brave words girl, but futile," said Miles as, inside her head, arcs of energy began painfully searing along her brain. "The sooner you stop fighting, the sooner the pain will stop."

(ooc: I'm not sure if mentally kicking yourself is good practice prior to a mental fight! :P ) As Miles faded away, he began to reform inside Zamy's head. "Now then my dear, I don't suppose you'll be a good girl and surrender?" he asked. His face turned into a sneer. "And before you think of doing anything 'noble' like trying to destroy us both by killing yourself, it doesn't work that way. You'll be killed, but I... I will survive."

"We're not fireproof, remember!" called Anna, slightly worried by the fiery tornado. Not expecting anyone to reach him and concentrating on his spell, Miles failed to notice Zamy until after she'd already grabbed him and the two became airborne. He cried out a frustrated 'No!' as below his spells fizzled out of existence. He turned to look at Zamy with fury, then his face turned into a horrible twisted smile. "I must admit I didn't expect you to realise where my magic was being drawn from. But I still have access to some of my powers. You keep getting in the way of me Inhabiting my younger's self's body. Maybe I should just Inhabit yours." Miles form again began to take on a more insubstantial form in Zamy's arms. (ooc: Why oh why did I give Miles a possessing ability???)

G-good idea. Where's t-that W-warp Ring? (ooc: So what WILL happen when we attempt it?)

"I'm a bit confused if I should be happy or not that I'm losing," said Melody. "And, yeah, Anna used to be called Mina." She sighed. "It's all kinda weird and there's time travel involved and... Well I can try to explain the whole story if you want," Melody offered. ----------- Miles dropped to all fours, but it didn't seem to be from pain or exhaustion. He began channeling energy, then the whole area started to shake. "Miles, are you alright?" asked Anna, trying to help him up, then both toppled over with the tremors. 'What if they stop Father and leave me for dead,' thought Melody. 'I could be left to die slowly from starvation, unable to do anything.'

I w-wasn't being m-mea... Oh you w-were joking! *looks around and sees Fluffy has chocolate from Dylan* T-there you are. Happier n-now? Thank's D-dylan.

Okay. S-sorry I d-don'y have any s-snacks on m-me.... I t-think you already a-ate them all!

Skye smiled and pulled Tikal a little closer. "You do seem to like that idea," he said quietly. ------------ "Thank you," said Melody, starting to smile. ----------- (ooc: Red wasn't hit by the shockwave? huh.) Anna found her fall broken by something soft, and looked around to see what it was. She gave a little shocked gasp. "Miles?" The younger fox seemed a little bit dazed. Inside her head, Melody was screaming, but there were no outside signs, except her body was still breathing and had a pulse. 'No! No! No! I wanted to be free of this numb shell. Now I'm trapped utterly again. I can't move. I can't even speak, can't even blink. I just wanted to see Skye and have a new working body. Father promised he'd get me a new body. And Skye's smart. He could have removed this loyalty chip, then the two of us could have escaped...' she thought to herself. Miles picked himself off the ground and looked back, to see Red standing over the prone Melody. "NO! MELODY!" he shrieked. "I'll make you pay for that. You'll all pay!"

Do y-you want t-to eat s-something now, o-or wait till after w-we escape?

"You... really think it's a nice name? That I should keep it?" she asked slowly.

*laughs as Fluffy pulls his tails* Okay, o-kay! I-I'm coming! *starts to follow back*

I-if.... if you're s-sure... *tries to hug back, but can't turn to do so*

"I... I know we're different but.... It's not the first time I've thought about it. I know the name itself won't change anything, but it might... help symbolise me letting go..." said Melody. (ooc: Kayl has no idea how right she is!)

Hmm, true... 69 winces while watching the slap

*stops walking but can't bring himself to face Fluffly* I-it's not o-okay. I-I u-upset you.
