~Icy 'Icicle' Soul 

The cat couldn't stop time forever.

Now...I can't do anything.

My friends are carted away and I'm ignored. Just me, a room full of people, a strange person, almost like Mina but a fox. There's no handy Power here right now, so I sit down against the counter, and cover my face with my hands.

We got this far...and now....

I start crying. Why am I so useless?z 

Leva and I sit in silence next to each other. The others glare at the soldiers and the person who captued us.

We're handcuffed, and Leva and I sit so close to each other that she shifts something in my hand.

Squeeze it, and you have invisibility and can fly. Go back and tell the others what happened. Come help us.

Why me? I ask.

Because they'll trust you.

I squeeze it, and spikes embed into my hand. I hiss queitly throgh my teeth as a liquid drips in my hand. My head swirls, but then it stops.

"Where'd she go?!" the man exclaims.

I quietly get up and kick down the cargo door, bursting out into the air. It all happened to quick, but I needed to do it.

I feel myself starting to fall, and I drop right into a tree, rolling down as twigs get stuck in my fur. I groan, looking up, and I see the Bog and Burrow Inn right in front of me. 

~ UB-01

its okay, I needed a way into the story line.

by the way, the laser is an AEther powered 67b type laser and grenade launcher.

I continue hiding in the rafters obove the guard, he had messed with the battle bug

i shoot him squarely in between the eyes, then as he stumbles around, I fall on top of him, knocking him unconscious.

Before I throw him out a window, I take an imprint of his thumb and eye, then steal his key card, and finally add his voice to my data banks. I now have access to almost the entire ship.

after I toss him out a window and make sure he lands in a muddy puddle, I turn to the prisoners. And ask,

Where's the other person? 

I slip away right as the strange man throws the net over my Captain and comrades. 

Wow, only a couple minutes into reuniting with my sister, and some lame loser has to come and ruin it all.

I run outside, but they're all long gone. Darn, I ruined it again! 

As I walk back into the inn scolding myself, I look around the room at the animals and people recovering. I see a younger girl with short blonde hair sitting on the floor crying. It's one of the few that wasn't stopped with Captain Fort's time stopping.

I walk up to her and look down.

"What's wrong with you?" I ask.

She looks up with a tear-streaked face.

"You wouldn't get it," she sobs. She buries her head back in her lap. "You haven't failed."

I scoff. "Yeah. I only failed at protecting my family and village, not finding my sisters soon enough, and not defending them and taking them back just now." 

She looks up. "Oh, well, I guess. But I feel so useless, as if I haven't contributed to the battle at all and I shouldn't even be here. Is it because I just can't do anything or I have nothing to fight for?"

I shake my head and laugh.

"You know, sometimes even the weakest person leads the battle."

"I don't get it," she responds, sniffing.

"It means that when the strongest finally give up, it's the weakest that stand and challenge what's happening. Then the strongest realize the weak were never weak after all," I continue. "You might just think you're useless, and well, weak, because you're letting what other people say and do around you affect you. Skill and self-confidence are two different things. And as for what to fight for, well, you wouldn't have joined or kept on going if you didn't have a reason to continue waging in the ongoing war."

"Wow," she says. "I guess you're right."

"Ugh," I sigh. "I hate being over-dramatic. That's why I never give advice."

"Oh, you're fine," she responds, shrugging and waving it off. 

I laugh and offer my hand, and she takes it.

"I'm Icy," she says, standing up.

"Nira," I respond.

My ear suddenely folds back as I hear a small click behind us.

Aether Modified Silent Pistol.

I slowly push Icy in front of me, and she seems a little confused. But she goes along when she sees the expression on my face.

"Don't turn," I whisper.

Bam!

The bullet is indented into the wall next to us, and a smoke trail is behind it.

I shove into Icy, and we both fall on the floor.

Another click and footsteps. Final click for ignition. 

"No!" a voice screams from the doorway. Mina.

Bam!

The gun fires, and I brace myself, covering Icy. 

But the impact never comes. I slowly turn, and the bullet is hovering and wavering in the air, inches from my face.

I whip my head around to the doorway, and there lies Mina, looking like she just dove, holding her hands out in front of her.

So she stopped the bullet.

She finally releases her hands, and the bullet collapses with a clink onto the floor. Mina collapses too.

I give the order, and the bombs start falling on the tavern

I sit coldly on the deck, one of the oh so annoying deck hands holding a sword to my back. They didn't tie me up, which I don't know is a good or bad thing. All of a sudden the cargo hold bangs open, and rubble flies everywhere. The crew scatters, and the captain whirls around. People start to run around like chickens with their heads cut off, but finally the captian restores order.

I sigh. I had started to expiriment with the dark mind magic stuff that all vampires had, but I was still trying to get the hang of it. I could move small objects, and once I had even sucesfully probed someones mind. But I was far from perfect, and even farther away from that whole soul-sucking stuff.

I check my arm. I have about 5 cartridges left of aether. Know I just had to figure out how to use them. 

"Hey, you okay?" I ask Alex.

He whimpers and then looks at his arm.

A nasty gash from a poorly pulled out bullet is left in his arm.

I tear a piece of cloth from my shirt and get to work. As long as I can stop the bleeding for now, we can disinfect the wound later.

After I finish with Alex, I look around the room. The aftershock from a war. 

A beaver wails over a dead beaver, a cat sits with a bird girl and a human girl, some, including Lisa and a moose, pick up the rubble, and the rest sit around, tend to wounds, re-load weapons, and help others.

"Disgusting," Alex scowls. "To think they started a small but devastating war at an inn."

Suddenely, we hear screaming coming from upstairs.

An entire family of possums scurry downstairs, then run towards the exit.

"Fire!" they scream.

We all scramble out of the inn, making sure nobody is left behind, and we go for a few yards before looking back.

Nothing happens.

"Well, that was a false alarm-" Alex begins to say.

But he's interupted.

The entire inn crackles, and then bursts into flames. We hear the sound of an aircraft above our heads, and it drops bombs around the forests, setting them ablaze.

I hope the fire doesn't attract any visitors.  

After setting one inn ablaze, I fly back to my cave to call it a night.

But something catches my eye.

An entire forest is lit ablaze, and in the center is a building burning and animals and humans trying to get away from it.

I smile evily and soar down into the fire.

I land in front of the humans and animals, and they stare at me in shock.

"Caelani...created you," a blonde girl stutters.

"Correct, child," I growl.

"You're a phoenix," a fox boy states.

"Correct," I scowl, rising up.

"DUCK!" the blonde girl screams.

My fire blasts at them.
