Note: NPC Aisu for Meinu, and I'm only going to have him speak.
It had been a few months since everything kicked off, and no sign of their son anywhere, it was like he vanished from their existence with the thoughts of if he was ever there at all. But Meinu and Aisu knew he was real, and spent those months looking for him, ignoring the chaos around in a frantic search for the kid who turned their lives literally upside down enough to change them. To make them care. And yet, there was nothing, but dwindling hope and rumors. Meinu had picked up on other search parties, both for Mo, and a Percival... Of course she knew instantly that it was her boy. Mo took him, did as he was planning to use his magic, and it seemed she wasn't the only one to figure it out. And that's what lead her and Aisu to Sora, eighteen years in hiding leading to them going straight to the heart, but this time, not out of death and destruction... Not yet at least. Meinu knew the halls as if it was yesterday and beating down the guards and swiping the doors in half was a breeze, Aisu picking up the slack behind and freezing those missed. Slamming open the final door separating her, from the people she knew would be best to help, the search parties leaders meeting to discuss the issues... It was a shock to see Draiko in the room though. "LOOK. I wont cause you issues if you don't cause me any... All I care for is my son." Meinu sauntered in as if she owned the place, Aisu behind eyes watching like a hawk. "So, I need leads on Percy, I need leads on Mo, and I need them now." "I would listen to her... Desperation is not something fitting on us."

So much was broken, his people, the world, his heart. Blye didn't know how much he could take, and everyone seemed to feel the same. He'd never sat in a room full of so much hopelessness. The only determination they had left was desperation, to do something to save their world. The Sun was gone, and in it's place was a bringer of the end. Mo was never someone Blye knew much about, in fact he'd never met the Demon until watching him destroy Baransu. From Sora, Blye watched, and he caught a glance of the Dragon's eyes as he flew by. And then Blye was just filled with rage, rage and utter sorrow. Mo killed his Clan, that Dragon was the reaction of his mistake in the past. Mo was watching the destruction of his Clan fly by, and it killed him knowing he could do nothing against Mo. Not now, not after how weak his powers had become.
Since then it was worry, the Sun was gone, nothing would grow. He worried for his son, seeing the past how Mo had taken him, and now tortured the boy to steal his magic. It made Blye sick, and sickness wasn't good for the frail King. He had the support of others, as much support as anyone could lend at this point, and together they tried to plan something. To hunt down Mo, and find Percival. And then Kakushin joined them, without his other half. Ru was missing. A body hadn't been found, which in this situation was a good thing, but it was one more name to add to the search. Blye sat deep in his chair, trying to sooth his head from the worrying pains. Then, in the midst of discussion, the door dropped, slamming into the ground. Blye didn't get up in time, and Kaku moved to defend him. Blye saw a woman and man, frowning at their questions, and not having to look into the past for the answer. Their son? So these were Percy's parents? Blye's handed clenched together. They cared for his son, without them Percy wouldn't have survived this long, but knowing that they'd also made Percy believe Blye was evil, made him tense. "My son, Percival, is still missing. We have no leads on him. Mo is using his magic, and knowing how Space magic works... Percival could be anywhere. Mo however, is easy to track. Once he attacks, we know where he is, the issue is that he doesn't stay there for long." Blye explained. "We're trying to plan on taking down Mo first." Kaku added.

Meinu didn't have time to argue with Blye, thought she did send him a glare and a growl. Her son. She raised him, taught him what was needed, she may have said many negative things about Blye to Percival, but she didn't once lie about anything. Not once. Because deep down she couldn't do it, she couldn't lie to her son. "MY SON..." Meinu looked to Aisu. "Our son. And that's information easy to grab, so you are fuck all help." Meinu felt an hand on her arm, Aisu's way on trying to calm her, even if she could see the same fire in his eyes. "We have our own reasons for trying to kill Mo, but we care more for our son then taking down that son of a bitch. And so help us if we don't find Percy soon." Meinu knew what Aisu was thinking, the reign of terror she will unleash until she got him back, he was her little boy, and she hated the fact that she only just figured it out, that over ruling her hatred for even feeling like that in the first place. "You honestly have nothing worth hearing?" Meinu gave out a scream before turning back to the group. "Mo has something he's using to control our sons powers, that's all I know. I also know he wont be easy to take down... If there's even a chance at all... Hell, Aisu cant get close without being taken over by some fucking magic trick of the purple lizard." Something still a bit of a sore spot for the two, but it had to be mentioned.

Post by Draiko on Aug 17, 2016 21:15:25 GMT
Draiko knew his situation would always been in favour of what Nanari wanted. She'd said he was free to do as he pleased, but deep down there was an instinct to follow her and protect her. Perhaps the same sort of instinct Father had. So despite how Draiko hated so much talking, and hated the atmosphere of hopelessness, he still remained by Nanari's side. Gloomy, hiding under his scarf, but still mostly present for this talk. It was mostly muttering about an almost plan they had, but nothing more. Draiko was about to sigh, when the door broke open, and he was on the defensive, summoning his own sword, remaining ready. He stared right at Meinu, his older sister. Alive, which was something she shouldn't be right now. Draiko would attack if he wasn't locked into passiveness by the Weapon, so instead he just remained ready to defend Nanari should things get dangerous. As Meinu warned they would if she didn't get answers.
What confused Draiko was that she referred to Percival as her Son. The same Percival that his wielder seemed to have bad history with, the same boy captured and being used. Draiko frowned, did that make the boy his... nephew? Draiko shook his head, looking to Meinu, filled with something odd. He wanted to kill her, obviously, for betraying the family. But, part of Draiko actually wanted to help his bitch of a sister. "There is something... someone useful in my family." Draiko suddenly said, possible the first words he'd even said to this group. He dropped his fabricated sword and it dissolved, and he walked closer to Meinu. "Void, he can cancel out any magic, including Mo's Time magic, and including this... controlling magic. But... he has to be touching the person to cancel their magic. So far we can't get close to the Dragon without him vanishing." Draiko explained. "If Void was... wielded by someone..." He muttered, before stopping himself. He might be one himself, but even Draiko was against the idea of his siblings becoming like him or Cory or Father.

Meinu stared at Draiko as he spoke, taking in his defence of the girl. Nanari, the one her son had been befriending behind their backs, Meinu knew, of course she did, but that silly motherly side to her stopped Meinu from ever hurting the girl... But that's not something she needed to dwell on right now, instead she pushed back Aisu and head towards her brother, this being something she needed to do herself. "As much as it fucking pains me to say, I am not letting Void be turned into a weapon... Mo will just use it... And I'm not making him live with that burden. And I doubt we would find someone able to wield him to that potential so quickly." Giving a glare to Draiko, Meinu moved back looking to the group, and back to her brother, knowing he wouldn't like what she had to say next. "This controlling magic makes one crazy, makes them want to attack... I know of another sibling of ours who has the perfect magic to counteract that, if it works in the way I think..." Eira, the one person she knew Draiko would get the most protective about. "We worked with Mo for eighteen years, we know how he works and the schematics on what he's planning, what he can do... What our Sons magic can do."

Blye had to calm himself when Meinu continued to call Percy her's. It was true, of course, but Blye struggled to take it without getting furious. His head dropped down at the idea that they didn't have anything useful. It was true, they really didn't. This was by far the hardest situation they'd all faced, where no one knew of a plan that could work, no one knew how to stop this problem. The room was quiet, until another spoke. Draiko, one of the Sun children, Meinu's brother. They seemed to have one among them that could cancel magic, only with touch. And then another, that might help with the mind control problem. And then, then Blye jumped to his feet. It was a little too quick for the fragile King, who almost collapsed from the strain, but was held up by his fellow King. Blye took a deep breath, leaning on Kaku, glaring at Meinu.
"So you've followed him all this time? You knew what Mo wanted to do, so you... you brought up Percy just to be used by Mo." Blye stated, he didn't ask, he stated. Teeth clenched, a dark glare on his face, darker than Blye had shown for a long while. "You're the reason why he's stuck where he is right now, then. Percival is... suffering now, because you decided to help Mo all this time." Blye took a deep breath. "And you still call yourself his parents." He muttered quietly.

Meinu turned on Blye so quick even Aisu didn't see it coming. Glaring to the king she growled and allowed her hands to glow with her magic, eyes wide and breath laboured. She felt Aisu moved away, holding back whoever came over to stop her from the anger. "My original objective was to raise Percy for that reason yes. But eighteen years down the line and I damn well loved that boy as if he was my own. We brought him to Mo under the belief Percy would be safe and able to explore his magic while going for a cause we thought we wanted... BUT MO FUCKING LIED TO US. And he brought in our son for nothing more then a meat bag, we fucking tripped and tried to get him out, and it nearly cost me my life and Aisu his sanity when he was controlled. We did nothing but raise that kid to be weary of the world because that's all we knew... That is our son, and we damn well didn't want this for him... If anything blame that little bitch over there for all this, he only asked us to take him to Mo in the first place because of her." Something Meinu was angry about, though she knew she had no right to be... She did serve Mo, but at the time she was guided by wishes she couldn't ignore in her body, and now something bigger has filled that gap and she regrets ever helping that stupid lizard. "You have no right to complain about us and parenthood Blye. None at all." Percy was her boy dammit, and she wouldn't be berated for how she raised him. Aisu stepped up then, Hugging Meinu tight and kissing the top of her head, much calmer in looks, despite the anger boiling underneath. "Percy is ours, we raised him and he changed us, the second Mo told us of his plans, we tried to get him away... It wasn't something we were told about before hand. And that's the god honest truth. We may not seem like the best parents, but we damn well made sure that kid was loved and cared for growing up."

It was bad enough that thanks to these two, Blye had to live these eighteen years thinking his son was gone. Now they'd raised him away from his real father, made him hate Blye, and raised him his own doom. It was horrible, they were horrible people. Blye couldn't help but glare at them as Meinu tried to explain, her voice furious as she spoke. He didn't look away, other than glance towards Nanari. Perhaps Nanari was in part to blame, but she didn't do anything wrong, or intend for any of this. Blye had seen her past, as hard as it had been to watch what Percy did to her, it did confirm that Nanari was always just trying to help. It was the fault of his 'parents' that Percy turned out the way he was, and because of what they'd taught him, they were all facing a terrible fate. Blye looked down, but, he supposed, that fate was already upon them. He couldn't just blindly choose to hate possible allies. Perhaps during a war yes, but not one like this. In this situation, they needed everyone to work together, enemies or not. "I have every right... since you stole my chance to be a parent from me." He muttered bitterly, glancing to Aisu to hear him out, before looking away. "Whatever is going on here, as important as it might be, saving your son, finding Ru and defeating Mo are more important right now." Kakushin finally said in the silence. Blye sighed, "I'd go back eighteen years and stop all of this by taking Percy myself if I could..." He glared once more to Meinu, "Then Mo may not have had the chance to take him.... But, it would be impossible now. I can't go back that far anymore, and if I could, there's no promise Mo won't use his own Time magic to counter mine. I've never had to consider fighting someone with the same magic as me, much less the idea of someone having a stronger version of it." He explained, and sighed again. Then Blye thought some more. "If Mo was... distracted, I could attempt to go back to when he captured Percy, it's not so far back, and then I might be able to stop all of these problems."

Nanari knew that it was partially her fault. Even if it wasn't her intentioname for things to go so far. Hell, this was never the road she wanted for Percy. But right now. She really couldn't find it in her to care for him, though she knew she should. Too much in too short time. But she agreed about having to find him, because if they didn't so many others would be in danger. "Look. I agree we need to stop fighting, it's getting us nowhere but more aggravated. But I also know that plan won't work. If what I've heard is correct, Mo's been planning this for years. Well just be rescuing Perry to have him live knowing Mo his hunting him down. While the rest of us go on our merry way not knowing what's happening. It will just delay the inevitable. We have to find Percy now as it is to free him and defeat Mo. Or we won't ever do so." Reasonable in knowledge, having picked it up from both Blye and Percy. But she didn't know who would care to listen. Not in the states they are in right now anyways.

Blye's gaze was finally taken from Meinu. Good as it was, he was still holding in anger, and it was partly towards Nanari now too. Her response, it got a neutral look from Blye, but there was a flicker of blame to his eyes. She knew the plan wouldn't work, like she knew all about Percy's feelings, his issues, like she knew that she didn't care really about Percy's life right now. Blye huffed, "You've never been back in time, Nanari. It's impossible to delay the inevitable when you completely end the chance for that inevitable to happen... I should know, I've done it before." Blye explained. "All it would take is for me to travel and warn everyone of what's going to happen, then we can scout out for Mo and kill him before he even gets to my son." Blye added. "Trying to defeat Mo now is impossible, the same reason I can't be defeated. He can just reverse time during combat to make sure it doesn't happen, or freeze time to run away. He can't prevent me from going back and making sure he never gets the powers to do so." Blye paused, gathering in the atmosphere. "I'll risk whatever it takes to stop this before it's begun... none of you have seen what he's doing to my son right now."

Tenshi just watched for now, keeping tabs on everyone while she reeled in what she found out from Mo, still trying to distinguish that it really was her long term friend who was doing this. She thought she knew him, and yet, now talking about things, its like she never knew him at all... Though there was one thing that she did know above all else. "Mo is smarter then we take him for. I agree with Nanari with how its a bad idea to go back, to delay the inevitable... With all due respect Blye, Mo has the same powers as you now, at a stronger level... How do you know he hasn't gone back to that very same moment just watching waiting for you to arrive... How do you know he wont do the same back? Its not impossible to defeat him now, but it might be if we lose the only triumph card we have against those powers he now possesses, above his own." Not the only triumph card, but the other she knew many wouldn't want to be used unless it was dire, and right now though the situation was terrible, there were options. "None of us know what he might do to you... I thought I knew Mo for over two thousand years, and yet he's more a stranger now then ever. But hes smart and cunning. He will one up you in this battle Blye. I can tell you that much."

Kaku worried sick for Ru's state right now. He was in the middle of it all when Mo first attacked, and since then had gone missing. He couldn't be dead, Kakushin refused to believe that, and deep down he knew his husband wouldn't go so easily. But it was a matter of finding him, and defeating Mo, and saving the world. This was a worldly thing now, it involved everyone, and everyone wanted it fixed. This was a war against one being, as much as Kaku still hated war, this was one he could agree with, it had to be done. And he wasn't sickened by rage in this one, for once Kaku was himself, worried, but not on the verge of killing anyone innocent like he'd been forced to before.
But he struggled to support Blye when he could tell his friend was becoming blind with desperation to help his son. It didn't help that Meinu was still trying to deny Blye any connection to his child, and Kaku could see Blye was turning into a loose cannon. "I know how it feels to know your child is somewhere where you can't help them, and you'd recklessly give your life to get them back. I know how it feels Blye." Kakushin said, holding tight onto Blye, feeling his hands clench as the Angel held him up. "Learn from the mistake I made and realise we can't do this alone... any of us." Kaku said, glancing to some around the room. Nanari, Tenshi, Meinu and the others. "We can't beat Mo on smarts or strength, but we have numbers. I'm sure, if we could find him, having Ru to help would be good, he's the only Demon who wouldn't be charmed by Mo's magic. But... knowing the man I married, he's waiting and biding his time somewhere for the chance to help." Kaku explained, trying to smile a little. "It must hurt knowing you can't just stop the pain your son must be going through altogether, but we will stop it in good time, I promise."
