Alive

[KrazyRandomness]

Ah, yes, but, when you are fighting a...cute...fluffy...kitten -_-' I think I'd be trying to get that first than answer questions.
And "kay, kay" is sort of a cute slang my cousin Giggles uses for "okay". I thought it suit Candy.

"So, you can turn into a wolf?" Malory asked Maria, putting her blade away.
"And a hyena." Maria said, dusting herself off.
"How so?"
"I lived in Africa for a long time," Maria said, "I became friends with some hyenas named Banzai, Ed, and Shanzi. And also a baboon named Rafiki. He given me this," she held up her necklace, which was a ruby that formed a half moon, "It gives me the ability to turn into a black or white wolf, depending on the situation and a hyena."
"Neat." Candy said, peering at the crimson jewel.
Maria only nodded, letting the jewel fall back around her neck. Malory glanced at everyone, pleased to know no one hurt, and said, "We should move on. I don't know what that thing was, but I don't want to find anything like it again."

"It's been too long." Aqua said, pacing.
The room she was in was also filled with fourteen other people and was given the only light of candles. Aqua stood in the middle of the room, Sly sitting on a crate near her as Annabelle and Halo watched the blue ferret. Axel sat silently in the shadows, next to Juan, who twirled a switchblade in his hand, both their ears listening in on Aqua. Wheezy and Stella, who had both been smoking near the door, also turned their head as every other did the same in the basement of the Toon Patrol.
"Jazz should already be here." Aqua said, looking at Annabelle.
"Then something has happened. She might have had to do something before she moved on." Annabelle said, her wings twitching only once before resting.
"Like?" Aqua asked.
"Looking for Cyril," Halo said, "the young fox hasn't been seen yet. Something tells me he is in need of help."
"Ah, but you are forgetting, Halo," Annabelle said, smiling, "Cyril is not the only one that roams that forest. Two souls that are not of Toons do as well, one with a mystical aura around her. There are also a pair of threes, on of the pair sent here and stopped while the other pair is searching for something no longer among us. I also sense a soul that used to be misted in dark aura, now no longer in darkness while...five more have come from...a different time. A time of darkness."
Halo looked at Annabelle. "The forest is alive tonight...isn't it?"
"Yes." the pink dog smiled.
"Then we should help." Sly said, his violet eyes looking up.
"And do what?"
Sly turned. Axel looked back at him with blue eyes. The white ferret spoke, "Everyone that this pink dog speaks of must do their task on their own. We must not interrupt them."
"But Jazz-" Aqua began.
"Jazz is to find her own path." Axel said.
"...but she's our sister."
Axel looked over at Wheezy, the smoke almost framing the blue weasel's face. His azure eyes closed and he said, "Jazz is our sister and we're family....we should stick together."
"I understand...but Jazz must learn that in times of darkness, she must fight." Axel said, looking back down to the floor.
"...T'at don't mean we can't...go huntin' fer mons'ars."
Axel turned and smiled at Olly's smirk. "Right you are, Olly."

[KrazyRandomness]

[shadow=red,left,300]Thirty-Three[/shadow]

The golden gates that lead to Heaven closed just as the son rose. Halo looked out into the dawn, asking, "Are you sure we made the right choice by making them go?"
"Only time will tell, Halo. Only time will tell." Annabelle said.

***

The dawn brought warmth to the once cold forest. Wheezy held his Tommy gun closer as he chewed on a cigarette. Next to was Zaria, her orange eyes searching the horizon, while Stupid held his bat firmly in his hand.
The blue weasel stopped, letting Zaria and Stupid get ahead, as he looked out. He blinked as a small noise that he couldn't make out came to his senses. The oldest of the Toon Patrol bit down on his cigarette and moved on, not catching the swift shadow that past in the trees.
Zaria, ahead, pricked her ears. She smiled and, in a low voice, said, "Sie haben zuruckkommen."
Don't I always...Zari?
She smirked. "Ich haben ein neu liebe. Sie haben habe.
We shall see...
Zaria could not help, but feel a fear creep onto her.

***

Maria looked up. "They're close."
"How do you know?" Malory asked, glancing at her.
"I can feel it." Maria said before breaking into a run.
Maria ignored the yells as trees past her. Right now, she was to see her friends.

***

Jazz and Cyril quickly helped the others out. Cyril looked at Crystal before he said, "Jazz, this is my sister."
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Crystal." Jazz said.
Crystal nodded, a smile on her face. Jazz turned to the three hyenas, but blinked as they froze. Fear crawled up Jazz's spine and she turned.
Chewing on a metal bar, was a black lizard. It's pure black eyes blinked as it cocked it's head. It spit the bar out and growled.
Cyril growled back, jumping. The lizard pushed him aside, looking back at the others as Cyril hit a tree, yelping. The lizard's yellow fangs showed as it roared. Jazz fell to the ground as Crystal grabbed the well.
Suddenly, a yell filled the Jazz's ears as what looked like Maria jumping on the lizard and kicking it. The lizard fell to the ground, only to jump up seconds later, growling. Maria quickly transformed, it seem, into a black wolf, much to Jazz's shock. She bit down on the lizard's leg and it let out a bloody howl. It raised on claw and threw Maria into a tree. She transformed back into a human, but grabbed her necklace and turned into a hyena. She let out a small chuckle as she jumped up and clawed at it's face. Blinded, the lizard thrashed over the place. Cyril, now awake, put his hand into the air, a red light appearing before his switchblade came back. He jumped and slashed the lizard's neck. The lizard gurgled before falling to the ground.
Light covered it's body before becoming locked again. Cyril turned to Jazz, quickly bringing her in a hug as Maria turned back into a human and hugged Ed, Shanzi, and Banzai, her friends that were once lost.

***

Down in the depths of Hell, Morgana growled as she said, "We are losing, Cillian."
"I...see that, Mistress."
"I want them all dead or I swear," she glared, "the next time you are down here, I'll make sure you never underestimate the power of Hell again."
Cillian, unknown to Morgana, gulped. He said, "I shall bring out MC and the Hellhounds."

[KrazyRandomness]

[shadow=red,left,300]Thirty-Four[/shadow]

A black aura filled the air for a three seconds until it vanished. And in those three seconds, MC appeared with three, huge, black dogs at his side. The cat smirked as his hounds howled.

***

"Ya 'ear t'at?" Stella asked, cocking her head.
"Ear w'at?" Olly asked, her pistol in her hand.
Stella shook her head. The jill could have sworn she heard a howl...
Stella heard footsteps and quickly caught up with her step-cousin. The two jills walked alone as the forest toward over them.
Blue fire...
Stella stopped. She know she heard that.
And she was right.
Seconds later, Stella could only feel something grab her as Olly yelled, "Hey!"
Olly glared up at the orange weasel. Chester smirked down at her, Stella on his shoulder. The gray jill tried to get out of his hold, but Chester's strength was too much.
Olly fired her pistol, but Chester blocked them with his hammer.
"Crud...." Olly murmured.
Chester looked at Stella. "Blue fire...just what the boss wanted."
"Huh?" both Stella and Olly asked, Olly trying to find something to throw at him.
Chester didn't answer, but only vanish in an orange light, much to Olly's horror.

***

Stella could only hear whispers as she was thrown to the ground. She didn't move, unsure if there were snakes or traps.
"...She does have hair of blue fire...."
"...She is also blind..."
"...Which means she can see..."
Stella bit her lip, unsure of what to do. Someone touched her shoulder and asked, "What do you see?"
"Nothing!" Stella spat in the direction of the voice.
Someone growled. "She is not the one he seeked! This is blue fire!"
"Isn't that what he said?"
"He said dark fire you idiot!"
Someone was hit and Stella could tell a blade was to her throat.
"Tell me, Blue Fire, do you know a Zaria?"
Stella said nothing.
"I only seek her new love."
Psycho..., Stella thought.
A growl filled her ears and someone made her stand and shove her.
"Take her to where we put our idiot siblings!"
Stella could only be dragged on.

[KrazyRandomness]

[shadow=red,left,300]Thirty-Five[/shadow]

Cyril quickly made everyone hush as he heard footsteps. Chester emerged from the trees, Stella in his hands, shocked to see them.
"How did ya'll get out!?" he growled.
"None of your business!" Maria growled, turning into a black wolf, ready for battle.
Chester threw Stella aside, getting his hammer, and Jazz quickly went over to Stella.
"Are you alright?" Jazz asked.
"Who are you?"
"Jazz."
Stella nodded and pressed herself against the tree, knowing she would be no use for this type of fight. Maria and her hyena friends circled Chester. The orange fox smirked and hit Banzai, pushing him into a tree. Maria growled and bit his leg and Shanzi copied, Ed jumping on his back. Chester growled and threw them off with an orange light.
Cyril got his wings out and charged, his switchblade at hand. He slashed Chester's face, the scar running across his nose, as Chester screamed. The large fox looked at Cyril and growled, giving a big swing to his hammer. Maria pushed him and Chester lost his balance, his hammer flying in the air and almost hitting Stella and Jazz.
Cyril looked down at his brother. "Do you join the light?"
"Never!" Chester growled.
Cyril closed his eyes, seeing that his sibling will not change his mind. With one look at his brother, Cyril said, "I'm sorry...my brother," before putting the switchblade deep in his chest.
Chester screamed, but soon fell silent. His eyes looked into nothing as he was taken by a light.
Cyril only stared at the spot his brother once laid.

[KrazyRandomness]

[shadow=red,left,300]Thirty-Six[/shadow]

MC stalked in the little shadows the dawn gave him, his Hellhounds on the hunt. As they smelled something in the air and growled, he smirked.

***

Cyril put his switchblade back in his pocket and said, "We should leave."
He didn't look over at the others as he started heading into the forest. Jazz caught up to him and asked, "To where?"
"I don't know. It seems we'll just have to keep battling until it ends." Cyril said, his eyes ahead.
"Wait!"
They turned and watched as Maria stared back to a different part in the forest.
"My sister and friends are that way," she said, "it'd be better if we had a bigger group."
Cyril only nodded as he changed direction.

***

"Where is he?" Craig asked.
"Who cares?" Cryn hissed.
Craig growled, picking the skinny fox up before throwing him into a tree. Craig fixed his jacket and crossed his arms. He then narrowed his eyes and said, "Search."
Craig, Cryn, and Cai all vanished in different colored lights.

***

Psycho watched with bored eyes as Greasy and Smart Guy walked ahead of him. The lighter weasel sighed and looked up to the sky.
He looked back over to Greasy and Smart Guy and yelped when he saw no one. He looked all around him, but he couldn't see his older brothers anywhere.
Before he could utter a word, a punch came to his face. The weasel shook his head and looked up into the blue eyes of a white fox.
"So...you are her new mate..." he growled.
"What?"
The fox didn't answer, but swung his sword. Psycho yelped and jumped back. He glanced around before taking his knife out.

***

Wheezy quickly aimed his gun near the bushes, but lowered it as Smart Guy and Greasy emerged. The blue weasel took a drag on his cigarette before saying, "I thought Psycho was with you two."
"He," Smart Guy looked behind him, "...was."
"Where's Zaria?" Greasy asked.
"Huh?"
Wheezy turned and cussed when he found only Stupid playing with a leaf.

***

Psycho blocked the sword with his knife, trying hard to ignore how close the fox's blade was to his wrist. Another blow the fox tried and Psycho blocked it again, his knife not even gaining a scratch.
Some red beam shot at the fox and he howled, covering his eyes.
Psycho turned and gave a small smile at Zaria, who hand glowed a radiant red. She aimed again and the fox once again got hit.
The fox panted as he said, "We're not done here," before vanishing.
Zaria took no time to run over to Psycho. She ran a hand through his soft, spiky fur, smiling, before she gave him a quick kiss. She hugged him and said, "I'm glad you are safe."
Psycho smiled, smothering his head into her white hair. The black cat took his hand and quickly lead him back to the others.

[KrazyRandomness]

[shadow=red,left,300]Thirty-Seven[/shadow]

As Maria ran over and gave her twin a hug, Vanessa yelled, "Maria!"
Both girls laughed, enjoying seeing the other again as Cyril, Crystal, Jazz, Ed, Banzai, Shanzi, and Stella emerged as well.
"Good to see you are save Maria, but, can you please tell me who these are?" Malory asked.
"Oh, right..."

***

Aqua smelled the air and murmured, "Blood," as Veronica had her shock pistol out and ready. The air was silent as the five, including Sly, Juan, and Axel, searched for monsters or, hopefully, Jazz and Cyril.
A chuckle came from the forest and in a bolt of yellow lightning, Cryn appeared. He smiled happily at the five, getting a large boomerang out. He clicked a small, red, button on it and blades emerged from it sides.
"Dang..." Veronica said, aiming her pistol.

***

After Maria told the others of the group she fought the black lizard with, Olly emerged and yelled, "Stella?!"
Stella lifted her head in the direction Olly yelled. Olly headed over to her and said, "Ow did ya escape teh big, oran'e weasel?"
"Cyril, Maria, hyenas." she said simply.
She looked over at Maria and her hyena friends, giving them a small nod.
"Bigger group." Candy giggled.

***

Cryn threw the boomerang and Veronica shot it. The electric shock did nothing to the boomerang. Aqua, with swift speed, caught it, ignoring the pain the blade gave her.
Cryn growled and got about twenty needles out. Throwing them all at once, the group quickly dodged them.
Sly got out his bazooka, a present his father gave him for his birthday years ago, and aimed it at Cryn. The yellow fox's eyes became wide and he quickly hid. Sly fired the bazooka and the fox flew into the sky. He flew in the air and quickly fell back down, blood dripping from his muzzle. Veronica, not waisting any time, fired.
Cryn twitched over and over again until a light locked him away.
The group only watched before quickly moving again.

[KrazyRandomness]

[shadow=red,left,300]Thirty-Eight[/shadow]

Cai panted into the clearing. Craig watched him with pity as Cillian watched with disgust.
"I-I'm sorry, brother....they were too strong...Cryn and...Chester are already gone...." Cai panted.
"And now you are. Craig, kill him." Cillian growled.
Craig and Cai stared. Craig slowly made his way to Cai, getting his pistol out. Blood fell from Cai's muzzle as he watched. Craig only stared when he neared.
"Do it...or I'll kill both of you." Cillian hissed.
Craig bit his lip and, raising his gun, fired.
Cai felt his last breath leave him as darkness took over. Craig watched as Cai was engulfed in light before locked away. Cillian smiled and said, "Good."

***

As all groups entered a clearing were Annabelle and Halo stood, a halo of light surrounded them.
"It is time," Annabelle said, "We face Morgana and her troupes. This light of halo will protect us from ariel attack, but once someone enters, you must fight."
Cyril slowly nodded.
As soon as Annabelle sighed and a light became a barrier around them, a dark mist filled the forest. Dead silence filled the air and Cyril only listened to his own heart beat.
"Cyril..."
Cyril turned and watched Crystal, who started to run off into the mist.
"Crystal!" Cyril followed.
He didn't hear anyone scream his name. He didn't know some followed while the others were left to an wave of enemies. He just knew he had to get Crystal.

***

MC Hellhounds howled and ran off. The crazed cat laughed and followed, knowing revenge was near.

***

Morgana glanced at Cillian and Craig. She smirked before the teleported.

[KrazyRandomness]

[shadow=red,left,300]Thirty-Nine[/shadow]

Crystal stopped. Cyril blinked and stopped as well, confused. Jazz, Roxanne, Maria, and Olly all caught up to him.
From a black fire, Morgana, Craig, and Cillian appeared. They all, but Craig, smirked.
"Well...we get more than I hoped for." Morgana laughed.
"And we have Dark Fire here too." Cillian smirked.
"Dark Fire...? You wrote that letter! Not MacKladcore?" Roxanne asked, her eyes widening.
"No duh." Cillian said.
Roxanne growled and got her pistol out. Cillian smirked and said, "We just wanted something from you."
Roxanne blinked and glanced at her pocket. Morgana smirked and, with a snap of her fingers, the file appeared in her hands. Roxanne touched her pockets, but found it was no trick.
The Devil Dog opened the file, but frowned. She turned it upside down and shaked it, but still nothing came out.
"Where is it?" she growled.
Roxanne smirked. "Somewhere you'll never find it."
Morgana growled and with a snap, vanished.
"I want you to brake every bone in their bodies!" Morgana's voice rang out. Cillian broke into a laugh and set a Hellhound out on Olly, Roxanne, and Maria. The three got their pistols, or, in Maria's case, transformed into a hyena.
Cyril only stared at Cillian, trying hard not to look at anyone when they yelled. The black fox never let his eyes leave them as he smirked.
Cyril felt Jazz take his hand and he squeezed her hand.
Cillian raised one claw, but it was shot.
Cyril turned and stared at Craig, his pistol in his hand. The dark red fox said nothing as Cillian glared at him. Cyril turned to Cillian and smirked, but frowned, confused, when Cillian smiled.
Craig's yell filled the air and Cyril turned to him.

[KrazyRandomness]

[shadow=red,left,300]Forty[/shadow]

Cyril felt as if time slowed.
Crystal's blade ran up Craig's back, blood flying, before she dug it in. She turned it, smirking as Craig yelled even louder. A light emerged and locked him, leaving Crystal's blade into nothing as blood dripped on the floor.
Cyril stared. "You...changed."
"That's what Hell does to you, brother." Crystal laughed.
She aimed her blade at them, but it was shot out of her hand, a second shot entering her head. A light locked her as well.
Cyril turned and gave a small smile to Maria, Roxanne, and Olly. He jumped as the three where trapped in a ball of dark aura. Jazz ran over to them, but there seem to be no switch.
Cyril was about to join her, but a blade stopped him. His eyes trailed up the blade and Cillian smirked down at him.
"Just you and me....brother."

[KrazyRandomness]

[shadow=red,left,300]Forty-One[/shadow]

Malory growled as she cut a goblin in half. "This is a pain!"
"No kidding" Veronica yelled back, shooting a demon bat that almost got the polecat.
Wheezy fired about ten of them, a chuckle coming from his lips, while Stella, who was gripping his chest since she can't see, said, "You're really enjoying t'is, aren't' ya?"
"Haven't had this much fun." he chuckled, shooting a goblin.
As an orc started to come, Wheezy tried to shoot it, but, much to his horror, his gun din't have any bullets left. He cussed and watched as the orc drew near.
A blade was thrown in the air and killed the orc as it hit it's heart. Greasy came up and took the blade out as he said, "You owe me."
"Twenty bucks." Wheezy said.
Greasy held up bullets, tossing them to Wheezy. "Fifty."
Wheezy put them in and shot another orc that almost had a bash at Greasy head. "Twenty."
"Deal."
As Greasy left to fight, Wheezy shot more and more enemies that tried to come near him or worse, Stella.
"Wheezy?" Stella asked.
"Yeah?" he asked as he shot a demon bat.
"If we live, will ya marry me?"
"You ask that," he shot an orc, "as we fight creatures from Hell?"
"Yup."
Wheezy chuckled. "Sure."

Thought you want to know what they looked like. -_-'

[KrazyRandomness]

[shadow=red,left,300]Forty-Two[/shadow]

Cillian made the first blow. His blade flashed by Cyril face. Cyril quickly slashed his blade at Cillian's chest, gaining only his shirt. The fox glanced down before he yelled and slashed at Cyril's face. He only got Cyril's cheek as Cyril dodged.
Their blades clashed as they fought. Cillian aimed his blade at Cyril many times, but his younger brother seemed to dodge all the hits.
"Hit him, you fool!" Morgana yelled.
Cillian hissed and slashed his blade. The metal cut into Cyril shoulder and the fox yelled.
To both the shock of Cyril and Cillian, a Hellhound jumped on Cillian. Cyril turned away as the hound bit into Cillian's face.
"MC! What are you doing!" Morgana screeched.
"Getting my revenge!" MC yelled.
He pointed at Cyril and his two other Hellhounds growled and attacked. Cyril yelped and fell to the ground. He was able to gain Cillian's blade and block the hounds teeth.
MC turned to Jazz and smirked, his crimson eyes burning.
"It's over, Jasmine. All is lost." MC chuckled.
"Monoke!" Jazz yelled.
MC flinched.
"Monoke, I know you're there! Please, come back! You don't need this!" Jazz yelled.
"Don't listen!" Morgana yelled.
MC stared at Jazz as she begged. The cat's eyes slowly changed to a dull blue and he rubbed his head as he said, "Jazz....call the hounds."
"What?" she asked.
"Call th hounds! It's the only way!" Monoke yelled.
"That's not true. I can fight them!" Cyril yelled, knocking them off him.
"MC will just come back," Monoke looked at Jazz, "Please, Jazz."
Memories of Heaven flowed back to her. The first time she met Monoke, his warm smile on his face, to when he became MC, his eyes changing to crimson.
Jazz didn't say anything, but manage to say, "Hellhounds."
Both hounds looked and quickly ran at Monoke. The cat gave Jazz one smile.
Jazz turned her head, not daring to look. She could hear the flesh being ripped off before Morgana yelled, "NO!!!!"
The last thing Jazz heard was Cyril's blades digging into the Hellhounds backs before Morgana appeared.

[KrazyRandomness]

[shadow=red,left,300]Forty-Three[/shadow]

"I was close. Oh so close! But then you ruined it!" Morgana yelled, black flame coming from her paw.
"Oh no."
Morgana gasped as a holy circle circled her. Annabell appeared. She only glanced at her cousin before she let Olly, Roxanne, and Maria go.
Morgana vanished in a blinding light and Annabelle looked back at them.
"You all have faced many things. The lost of family and friends, or the betrayal of someone you held dear. None of you must speak of this in Toontown. I've already told the others this." Annabelle said.
"What about my parent?" Maria asked.
"I'll wipe their memory and make them think you two only went to a friend's house, no questions, this once." Annabelle smiled.
"You are awesome." Maria said.
"Do you have the stone?" Roxanne asked.
"Yes, I do." Annabelle said.
A light appeared and a floating sapphire appeared.
"What is it?" Cyril asked.
"The Sapphire of Light. I gave it to Roxanne's ancestors years ago, when we were in...dark times. Now it is to return with me to Heaven."
Annabelle made the Sapphire vanish and smiled at them. "All of you, including your friends, have done so much. I thank you."
Jazz only smiled as she watched Annabelle vanish back to Heaven.

[KrazyRandomness]

[shadow=red,left,300]Epilogue[/shadow]

"Will we ever see you two again?" Jazz asked.
Roxanne and Malory turned to them from the boat they stood on.
"Maybe." Malory said.
Roxanne blinked at Candy, who didn't get on.
"Aren't you coming, Candy?" Roxanne asked.
"Actually, Roxy, I, um, kinda have plans here." Candy said as she smiled at Stupid, who blushed.
"Oh, our little Candy is growing up." Malory said.
Roxanne smiled and waved before she untied the boat from the dock and started back to London.
Jazz watched them go before she grabbed Cyril's hand and murmured, "You think this is the end of our adventures?"
"No freaking way."
To that, Jazz smiled.
