Skye Prower

Ziona fired her laser at one of the tendrils, causing it to dissipate. Young Miles gave a cry of 'Zamy' and tried to pull her away before the tendril struck again. Miles swung round to growl at Dylan, then was flung to the ground as the shot from the appearing Zone Cop caught him in the shoulder. "If that's how you want to play it," Miles said full of anger and lightning began to course all along his body, which would act as a protection fields as well as shock anyone it came into contract with. Some of the lightning coalesced around his uninjured arm, which he then flung at the Zone Cop who'd shot him. As he did so, he began to try and spin his tails around, trying to dislodge Dylan if he was still holding after the lightning. "Melody. Take the Zone Cops out!" ordered Miles, but Melody seemed to hesitate. (ooc: Night Dylan. Catch you tomorrow.)

Miles shot Zamy an angry look as she mentioned 'digging up a corpse', which allowed him to be blindsided by Dylan's attack. "You'll pay for that," he hissed, and with a gesture several green energy tendrils erupted from the ground, their spiked edges rushing towards Dylan and the Zone Cops. The younger Miles started to cling to Zamy, while Melody just stood and watched, as if reluctant to get involved. ------------- "Okay, I'll get you... Urg, you're too heavy to lift." Anna looked around frantically, rubbing her hands together. "Oh, I hate doing this..." she moaned as she placed her hands on Spark. "CHAOS CONTROL!" There was a flash and the two arrived in the infirmary, Anna almost passing out. "Help..." she asked weakly.

Miles raised an eyebrow at Dylan's approach, then raised an arm and roared an arcane command, sending a blast of magical energy towards him. "I'm sorry. Have we met?" he asked. "I thought she was supposed to be dead," murmured Ziona to Zamy's comment. The older Miles overheard and a pained look crossed his face for a moment.

"Define 'something'!" said Ziona as she began charging her wrist laser. There was a whirring nose as the older Miles appeared, flying down at the edge of the group. "You haven't killed the Zone Cop yet? I'm disappointed Melody," he said, practically ignoring the others. Melody went ridged. "I'm sorry Father."

Miles shook his head at Dylan's question. "I guess so. I gave them your location so they should be hear any sec-Whoa!" Ziona took a jump back as Melody hurtled forward trying to impale her.

"I... do...n't un...de...rs...ta..nd.." said Melody, as Ziona and Dylan. Ziona gave a little start seeing Melody, as this version had her original yellow fur.

At Zamy's words Miles reached out a held her by on of her arms, not wanting to let go. Melody was starting to shake all over, looking between about to leap at Zamy, and trying to hold herself back. "A second ch..ance?" she asked confused. "You a...re go...ing to le...t h..im return to M...oebi...us? To co..tinue his p...lan?" ------------- "Okay, hold on," said Ziona as she fired up her teleporter.

The arm which Melody was holding the knife with was begin to shake. "Why? W..hy risk your li..fe for him?" she asked. Miles looked pleading up at Zamy. ---------------- "I've got a lock," said Ziona delighted. She began relaying the co-ordinates to HQ. "I'm heading out there. Anyone else coming?"

With Zamy ducking, Melody did a forward roll to aviod planting into the ground. Getting back to her feet she turned to face Zamy. "Give up the boy and I'll let y..ou... g..o.. I don't... hav..e t..o kill yo..u."

Hearing her name mentioned again, Melody tried to clamber out of the bed. "I've got to.." she began to say, then stopped as she wan't able to actually leave. "Just hold on. By the looks of things you're somewhere in the Dragon Kingdom. Trying to narrow it further," said Ziona. ------------ As Zamy slowed Melody closed the gap and drew her knife. She leapt towards Zamy, aiming a blow at her arm.

"He'd get a nasty shock if he tried that," replied Ziona. "And your certainly in the same time period, otherwise we wouldn't be talking. I'll try narrowing the search to the Prime Zone first." ------------- "Give... up..." said Melody as she closed in on Zamy.

Miles glanced up at Zamy, not sure how to react to being reassured. ------------ "Zamy, HQ says they'll send in back-up as soon as I've pinpointed your location. Do you have any clue where you are? Are you even in the same Zone?"

"An older version of Miles and..." Ziona repeated, glancing over at the bed where Melody sat, looking stunned and horrified. "Understood, I'll call HQ and try and track your position." Ziona quickly adjusted the signal on her radio. "HQ come in, this is Officer Ziona. We've an emergency..." -------------- Miles was nowhere in sight, but Melody had recovered and was rapidly gaining on the two. "Sorry," murmured the younger Miles, "I think that blast was all I can manage." ------------- "Hold on Spark. The infirmary isn't far. I'm sure we can get you patched up," said Anna.

Anna struggled to stand on the ice then hurried over to Spark's side. "Spark?" she asked quietly.

The older Miles turned as the radio cracked, only for him to received the handcuffs square in the face. As Zamy grabbed the younger Miles, Melody barrels into them. "Sorry, but Father ordered," said Melody as she brought her knife down, only to be suddenly thrown back by a blast of magic from Miles. ------------ "ZAMY? Where are you? What's going on?" asked Ziona, starting to try and track where Zamy's signal was coming from.

"Zamy is a college of mine Berry. I'll introduce you. And yes Dylan, I DO mean literally. Hope jabbed him with something before she was captured."

"You can't fake losing a tail Dylan," said Ziona. "And I wouldn't have said he was in any condition to escape... but..."

*hugs back, unsure what to say*

"He shouldn't be there too much longer," said Ziona to Dylan. "There was a... medical emergency and we couldn't transfer him to jail immediately. And don't worry Berry. I doubt you'll even meet him. But why isn't Zamy answering..."

The younger Miles was picking himself back up, his face around his left eye starting to darken and swell when the punch had landed. "Now hold still boy," spoke older Miles as he loomed over. "I'd prefer the body was not damaged any further." -------------- "SPARK!" cried Anna in shock. -------------- "I thought it was best to get Berry seen to as quickly as possible," explained Ziona as she pulled out her radio. "Well, I better make Glen happy. Hello. Zamy? How's out little guest doing?"

*kneels next to fluffy again* I'm s-sorry. But w-we can't s-stay here. It's n-not a real place. A-and aside from u-us here, there's no one e-else.

*looks back at Dylan* He might exist outside, but THIS one might just be a copy, or a manifestation of this Zone. I can make other things appear after all!

"Not as wonderful as the person wearing it," said Skye and he walk round on-front of Tikal and took her hands. "But it does compliment her beauty." ---------- "I don't intend on changing anything," sneered the older Miles, "I'm simply going to put it back the way it should be." He turned to face his cowering, younger self. "I'll probably need to Inhabit you in order to get things restored with the least disruption. Melody, if the Zone Cop tries to interfere, kill her." "Of course Father," replied Melody. He turned to Zamy. "I'd rather not go through the hassle of reanimating your corpse, but I'm perfectly willing to do so if necessary." "That's horrific," exclaimed the younger Miles, getting to his feet. His older self spun round and, without hesitation, punched his younger self hard in the face, causing him to collapse. Melody also seemed to be having issues with Miles suggestion of reanimation. "You c...an n...o...t d...o.." Suddenly she went quiet and her face became even more black. "As you wish Father," she spoke. "Good girl," said Miles, putting a caring arm round his daughter. "A shame we can't get rid of your brother's rebellions streak the same way. But that would make his body unfit for Inhabitation. Hmm, maybe I'm being a bit hasty her Melody. Perhaps we should return to to our time and bring your mother here, so she can Inhabit her younger self as well. It would give the two of us a new lease of life." ------------ Anna clung on tightly to Locke. ------------ Ziona handed the fake gem to Kayl, then smirked at Lucifer. "Funny, I know I didn't call you Lance." She then fired up her teleporter, taking her and the rest who wanted to go to Haven's infirmary. ------------ Melody looked up from her book as the group arrive. "Wow, that's quite a crowd!"

*Looks at Dylan* I d-did. He appeared s-suddenly in my h-house, and h-he s-said some s-suspicious things. *Looks back to Berry. Tries to think of something to say.* I-I don;'t k-know w-what to s-say... *grabs hold of one of his tails and squeezes*

Skye gently lifted up Tikal deadlock at the back of her neck and slipped the necklace round. The clasp was a little fiddly but he managed to get it attached. "What do you think?" ------------- "I'm... I'm alright Daddy. Nothing broken I think," said Anna. ------------- "The radio won't work across time Glen," said Ziona. "But don't worry, as soon as Berry know's if she's staying or not, we can head back and we can check then. I think you're just being paranoid though."
