Jasim's ten thousand dijinn were not angels. Not in the physical sense or metaphorical
sense. Dijinn had an incredible amount of power, yet were bound by rules set in place by
Allah. While the myth had been tamed by the west along with goblins, werewolves and
vampires, the east had not lost it's sight of the true nature of the dijinn. The general
consensus was anyone fool enough to ask wishes of a dijinn got what was coming to
them, sadly, these attitude always failed to take into account that there was nothing
keeping the dijinn with their absurdly ambiguous liberty in interpreting someone's wish,
and a bored djinn would just smack a horrible fate in the ignorant victim outright, while a
creative and imaginative one would figure out how to cause as much human misery as
possible out of the wishes, the ones who considered them a bit more sadistic than most
stringing them along with one or two wishes actually granted in reasonably SANE relations
to the original wish. In one of his rare proactive moments, Mike had as a personal 'reward'
to the dijinn for their centuries of hard work, given a handful of them the ability to 'hear
thoughts'... making it impossible for them to properly misinterpret the wish since they
could hear what the victim MEANT by their words. These particular dijinn's hatred and
anger grew by leaps and bounds and would often suffer massive Freudian slips when
speaking to their would be victims. These dijinn due their inability now to property torture
even the magically ignorant, were deemed almost useless by their fellow dijinn... and
these pariah dijinn had no interested in socializing with the peri who would have been
more than eager to teach them more constructive uses of their power. Said Peri were
currently treating Karther's victims captured by Jasim's dijinn with the upmost dignity and
respect, as much as one could expect at any rate.
Thus Jasim when he had recruited an army of entities who could turn the universe on it's
head if they were allow unrestricted use of their power to take care of one fennec kitesune
with an oversized ego and his collection of brainwashed victims, these djinn had jumped
on eagerly. Lighting ants on fire was a pass time humans had learned from the dijinn.
The dijinn had little love for Alleh's favorite work hand species (in the dijinn's opinion) but
Jasim had given them a chance to blast even former humans to atoms, they weren't about
to pass it up. They amused themselves thinking of the annihilation they'd reek. And by
their commanding officer's own self delusions, the angel of the jihad even making himself
think that the Nazarene was apologizing for the kitesune's playthings having their
meaningless free will being restored when the younger messenger was apologizing for
their minds being altered and changed in the first place. The dijinn never saw why a big
deal was made about these finite entities or their toys. Destroy the world? Ha! Destroy
themselves? Of course. But destroy the world? Such fiction was as amusing as it was
absurd... for now at least.
When these esper dijinn had learned of the changing of their commander's material vessel,
they all laughed. When they suddenly lost contact with their commanding officer.
Thoughts of rescue were entertained only as long as necessary. And were quickly turned to
how long they would have to wait, before they could safely begin to exterminate the lord
of all fennec kitesune and those like human (meaning the former humans) without
incurring the wrath of Michel and his posse. A handful of dijinn also comment on how
since this would clearly mark operation return as a failure... they would need to destroy
any humans nearby who had happened to see the kitesune as well... after all... memory
rewrites could so often fail... better to be safe than sorry....

Tamthis smiled at the new creation, one that he believed was now part of the same soul
as he but as interestingly different as the other fox/wolf personas in the soul's 'room.'
"You look splendid! Now come to us! Come help us fulfill Lord Karther's dream to
transform the world."
The wolf-fox that had been Kyriel nodded in agreement. She swayed towards the other of
her "kin" and sat down on one of the armrests of Tamthis' chair. Here, she truly felt that
she and the other beasts were as one... or did she? The wolf-fox frowned. While she DID
feel as if she was complete and knew her Self, she couldn't help but feel a small 'knot'
deep down in her being, as if this wasn't as perfect as she thought it was. Tamthis noticed
her expression and smiled. "Don't worry," he said, "You are just adjusting to the power and
dignity that is our soul. You'll feel better soon enough."
The wolf-fox smiled, and pushed the worries over such a measly 'knot' out of her mind
for the moment.
+++++++++++
"Damn, I should have seen this coming. How stupid of me!" Julio could feel Keiko looking
at him with a questioning gaze, "Kyriel is a new soul, nothing more than a baby. She
barely knows who she herself is yet, and was not even close to being ready to handle a guy
who changes the "Self" of a person on a whim."
"She may not be her parents," Keiko rebutted, "But she has the memories of both T' and
Janice right? Wouldn't that make her even better than us at fixing Tamthis? Hell, if she
couldn't, I'm not sure that the other angels and me could do it..."
"She has memories yes," Julio said, his voice sounding more panicked due to the situation,
"but she doesn't have the experiences to go with them. It's one thing to KNOW about
something, and it's a completely different thing to UNDERSTAND how that something
works." Keiko Akane were confused, and looked at him blankly. "Think of it this way: you
practice to get better at a fighting style. Why? Because you might be able to read how to
do the moves in a book, but you'll still be useless at doing them if you don't actually
experience the motions. This is somewhat the same case: The situation is so bizarre and
unusual, you'd pretty much have to have prior experience at being transformed in order to
truly grasp Tamthis' power, ESPECIALLY if you're going into his mind."
"Keiko, tell him to hurry up!" Akane said hurriedly.
"Look," Julio continued, "Kyriel is in a mess because she has no clue who she is; she
remembers T' and Janice and tried to make a purpose for herself through those memories,
but that isn't HER purpose; she thinks of herself more as an amalgam than a single being.
If you let her just rely on memories, then what would make her choose her human and
angel memories over the ones that Tamthis is probably injecting into her, especially since
he obviously has a stronger influence in his own mind? Keiko, Akane, she NEEDS to realize
her own Self; and find what makes her not a piece of Tamthis, not an amalgam of T' and
Janice, but Kyriel the angel."
(by alex warlorn)
"You know Akane.... " Said Keiko as she worked on the web of magic of Karthis in an all
out direct assault with her sister. "It's rather selfless that you chose to come along for all
this."
"Really?" Akane asked without glance over.
"Yes really. It was so brave, so noble."
"Not as brave and noble as you beautiful, you didn't need to come here and yet you did.
Now that's wonderful."
"Really? Why thank you."
"So what was your name before you were altered?" Akira asked shifting out of her male
form and it was a mixed blessing when he lost the school girl uniform.
"Akio."
"That mean male heir?"
"Actually it means 'manly hero.' "
"Pity... because you would make a great princess."
Keiko blushed. "Really?"
"Yes really. You are so beautiful, so graceful, so lovely, it's a crime ye are not a princess."
"Yes... yes... it is... oh my prince." Said the humanoid vixen leaning on the rail of the high
tower's balcony. She swayed up to the manly sage in her harem garb slowly embracing
him, enjoying the feeling of his strong arms around her. "My prince... kiss me... be one
with me so I might be a princess and you might be Sultan..."
"Yes my perfect love..." The prince began to lean closer to the common girl.
'Oh no you don't!' Julio the tick narrow all eight of his eyes, and jumped to a more
sensitive park of Keiko's ear and delivered the most universal remedy for a enchantment in
progress: good old fashioned pain! And delivered it with a CHOMP! And on top of that did
the quickest creation hacking job he had done in his life using the blooding sharing
between him and Keiko as a back door.
"YEOW!" The kitesune female instantly scratched at the tick with her hind leg... then
realized she HAD hind legs again. As the romantic tower she and Akira had been on was a
giant a pile of sand again.
"What the heck just happened?" Akira shook his head, leaning his tails over his head and
counting them to make sure he had five, he did.
The twitching tick on the sand pile said mentally, 'That's what happens when you get
distracted at hacking, or just plain rush a job.. if not for the fail safe I installed in my spirit
eons ago I'd have ended up a part of your little romance story just from doing that kind of
quick job from all the security precautions installed in this place's curse.'
Keiko shook her head, she hadn't even realized... when DID she transform into a humanoid
vixen? She hadn't even noticed the change! She counted her paws confirming her normal
four. She looked at Akira confirming the same number.
'Look.. I'm sorry Miss Gun-Ho decided to do collateral damage but RUSHING into it only
caught you caught up in this place's story... it was using you as a new foundation!'
Keiko looked around, and saw some humanoid fennec and wolves who bumped into each
other wondering what was going on, having been work hands in the tower that had
existed for all of thirteen minutes.
"So what's next?" Keiko asked somewhat belittled.
'First get me off the ground before someone steps on me...' Keiko complied using her tail
as a tiny grip. 'Next.... I'm gonna take a nap... channeled way too much through this small
body way too fast... wake up if the world ends or is saved okay?' The tick closed all eight
of it's eyes.
The two, four legged, five tailed kitesune looked at each other and nodded. No mistakes
this time. One step at a time. They were gonna tear down this fake city brick by brick if
they had to!
The people were acting more and more and more erratic, people wandering about blinding
and/or babbling nonsense. People walking into walls or each other, people waving at
others in the opposite direction or simply dumbly starting into space as Tamthis' own
mind began to become conflicted. And this.. left the city itself... more than distracted
enough for the two kitesune to make a SECOND assault on it's structure...

Of course, Jasmine had made a tactical error by killing Roberta, since the whole point of
fighting Roberta had been to distract Tamthis and thus divide his attention and power in
two through himself and his puppet. Now Tamthis had no such distractions. She made a
second mistake by attacking Kyriel's body was still totally limp. Of course it was perfectly
logical to disable Kyriel's body before Tamthis could use it to his advantage, but this again
narrowed down Tamthis' concentration, since Kyriel's body at the moment, was merely a
flesh and blood shell with Kyriel still inside Tamthis with her shell merely harmonizing with
her being mixed in with Tamthis. As it was, Kyriel's body flew like a rag doll through the
air and hit a wall in the throne room hitting a mural of naked marble vixen and fell over a
broken and bloody mess on the other side of the wall.
Of course, Roberta's death sent a shock wave.
+++++
"Roberta... she's dead..." The wolf/vixen Kyriel whispered with shock and surprise.
The wolf beasts didn't even respond. Doll Tammy wondered how they even related to her.
Queen Tammia just shrugged. Lady Tammia stood in shock. Tamthis said, "Those who
sacrifice for us will not be in vain! We will bring the entire world under our command!"
"Most... illogical." The Super Ego said very matter of fact.
"Roberta... she was originally one of the male guards... she wasn't one of the sisters but...
father promised, no wait a minute, -I- promised to save them..."
"And we shall." Lady Tammia said, still squatting within the Id. "We shall bring all under
our ideal rule."
"But... how many have to die..." The Vixen Wolf said.
"Not many, our victory will be swift and concise!" Tamthis declared.
"The German people were told that the war would be over by Christ Mass." The wolf/vixen
Kyriel said in a moment of absolute clarity. "And Hitler forgot a very important fact... one
of many..." She glared at Tamthis, "You can't fight the entire world. This is crazy."
Everyone gasped at her.
"Wh-wha-what is this-?!" Tamthis declared on top of his royal throne stacked on top of
countless arm chairs. "Woman I shall not have such defeatist talk!"
"It is not defeatist, but a matter of accepting truth and the presented facts." The Super Ego
said properly.
"SILENCE!" Sharled Tamthis, rather silly consider the Super Ego was still blind folded and
gagged. "We shall bring order! Peace! And glory to the Fennec Kitesune and take back in
interest our homeland!"
"Order? Peace?" Said Lady Tammia, "That sounds like a lot of work." Her voice started to
become a duel voice, one male, one female, "I just wanna have fun!" Lady Tammia shook
her head, "I think he's starting to separate from me again..."
"Let'em!" Said the doll Tammy, "He's really fun! He's certainly more fun than any of you
guys."
The King and Queen wolf beasts snarls and howled at the doll Tammy who yelped and
leaped away from the main group some.
The Wolf/Vixen Kyriel walked over to the Super Ego unopposed. Even as Queen Tammia
helped Lady Tammia back onto the wall locking her back into the wall as she and the Id
started to separate again... the Id separated .... he was a naked wolf man... yet he wasn't a
hulk muscle beasts like the wolf things... he had intelligence in his eyes, as much as the Id
could have at least, and he began to snarl again.
"I see some progress, some great progress." Said Tamthis looking at the new wolf being.
"And who are you?"
"Tommy!" The Id snarled, "Tommy the terrible! With all this power! Why would you want to
rule over a kingdom or whatever? We can have all the fun and games we want! This is
stupid!"
"I guess not all that much progress." Queen Tammia muttered.
The wolf/Vixen Kyriel moved closed to the Super Ego who made no reaction to her coming
closer. She leaned closer to her, and began to whisper to him, and he began to whisper
back. She began to flow into him.
Everybody heard, but nobody really understood save the Id and Ego the low voices the two
were speaking in.
'Your mind, to my mind. Your thoughts, to my thoughts.'
They flowed into each other, and just as the Id, the Super Ego's form became that of the
Wolf/Vixen Kyriel.
Queen Tammia helped the Wolf/Vixen Kyriel down as soon as the merger was complete.
"How did you do it?" She had to know.
"I believe I simply understand him better than you." She said.
"Well done myself!" Tamthis declared, "Now nothing stands in our way of continuing our
goals to bring about our future!"
"I...." The wolf/vixen rubbed her eyebrows, "Think not."
"What?" All of the different aspects said.
"I have observed our collective methods and instruments, and have come to the conclusion
that this continued methodology for reclaiming of our homeland shall ultimately be self-
defeating and leave the kitesune fennec with even less influence in the world than before,
and even be considered outcasts by the other kitesune."
"How can you say such a thing!" Tamthis hissed, "We are united as one in our cause!"
"And I can see rather clearly, that the means by which we are seek to bring about our
cause shall result in nothing less than the complete eradication of the fennec kitesune
society, the complete destruction of Karthis city, and in our ultimate final termination as
well, continuing in this manner is completely irrational and is a betrayal of the fennec
kitesune whose leadership we have taken from Karther."
"Taken?" Lady Tammia asked not unable to comprehend Karther no longer existed.
"HOW CAN YOU SAY SUCH THINGS?" Tamthis said, this was not what was supposed to
happen at all.
"It's actually rather simple when you think about." Said the Wolf/Vixen said, "One, is that
since I am the source of our angelic power, opposed to our kitesune magic or the wolf
curse... thus I am sane... I am able to see the flaws in Karther's goals, his methods, and
our system. We should release all our victims at once, and beg Jehova for forgiveness for
these actions and with hope we can still gather a handful of willing recruits who don't want
to return to murdering each other. For by forcing them upon them, we have created a
subconscious resentment towards it, since it is the nature of the sentient mind. While it
desires comfort over freedom, CONFINEMENT is a completely different story, which is what
our city is. Our city can not change or adapt with new situations. To maintain this perfect
order we have completely stripped our citizens of nearly all free will reducing them to
robots who can not function in something as dynamic as the real world. There's also the
possibility that by joining with the Super Ego that I've been given much greater level of
objectivity in my thinking then any of you. Which is possibly was it's goal in allowing me to
do so in the first place, knowing I would be able to think rationally. Also, there's the small
chance, that I know the memory of my father would never let me sleep at night if I allowed
Jasmine to be able to say 'Told ya so' on my father's last mission he took part in!"
+++++++
In reality, Tamthis was feeling a horrible headache, he brought up several large walls of
sand stone around himself between himself and Jasmine. As his brain was forced to
process the single most horrible thing imagination: truth. This horrible, HORRIBLE sense of
clarity began to tear at his mind as he began to see his kingdom for the empty clockwork
doll collection it was. And that couldn't be. He couldn't allow it to be. It could not be.
"AGGGH! No! No! NO!" The king of all desert foxes snarls in anger at his own thoughts.
Jasmine blinked wondering just what was going on.
++++++++
Alexandra was no warrior, had never been a warrior, and had no desire to be a warrior.
Lisa gave her an engraved single action revolve. "Don't worry, the bullets will refill on their
own, this won't jam like an automatic would. Just point and pull the trigger."
Lisa leaned down next to Kathy brushed the harem vixen forehead and whispered in her
ear, "It's okay, we aren't going to kill the one you love, your king is just sick, we're going to
help him be well again, that's all we want." Kathy's fitful unconscious state changed to
actually slumber. "Sweet dream." Lisa stood up and leaned down next to Jennifer instead.
"Don't worry, if you don't want to run away from old age then you don't need to. After this
is all over I promise you can get the body back you've fought the wars worth fighting in.
But we need you to keep your head down for now, don't worry, everything is going to be
all right....." Lisa stood up as Jennifer's own unconscious state became real sleep.
"Alexandra, look after them."
"Lisa...."
The angel gave the kitesune vixen her full attention.
"What's going to happen to me when this is all over? This life... it may have been a lie
but... I felt more alive in it then the one I was suckered out of... and Karther... he gave it to
me... he made me more happy than I can remember being in my dreams... Lisa, what'll
happen to me at the end of the day?"
The angelic fox put a hand on the kitesune vixen's shoulder and smiled, "That's your own
choice."
And putting in some final fail safes to keep the barrier up a bit longer after she left, Lisa
sped to her comrades who needed her.
Holding the revolver Alexandra sat down against the wall and with her free hand ruffled
Kathy's hair and sighed, 'My prince... blast it, I'll shall miss you. Good-bye my prince. I'm
sorry.'

Natalie was nothing if not determined, regardless of her current form. Erica and Luna
gasped when the massive she wolf beast came right out of the sandstone floor and grab
them both by the leg trying to pull them back into the earth with her, only with super
humanly strong and fast kicks prevented that from happen as the two angel vixens leapt
from where the she-wolf beast emerged.
"GREAT! She can phase through walls too!" Erica cursed.
"Not just her!" Luna pointed, the horde of wolf beasts began to go through the walls as if
they were water. Then again, they WERE just souls inside sand constructs made to look like
wolf beasts.
A beam of light from where hit the wall which exploded sending the pieces of male wolf
beasts inside everywhere completely disorienting them, and trapping many inside pieces
of melted sand now glass.
Everyone looked at Vicki now holding a longbow. "We don't have time for this!"
"Too bad." Lucy... her injuries were completely gone... the sand had healed her, she came
in flying in straight through the hole in the ceiling. All four vixens sprang back from her
impact point on the floor. Luna pressed herself against a wall that Natalie emerged from a
second later grabbing Luna in a shoulder hug trapping her arms. Luna formed titanium
punching daggers on her heals which she stabbed into the parts of Natalie's emerged
body, making the beast let her go for a moment and Luna formed punching daggers on
the front of her feet and fists, sticking sharpened pieces of metal into Natalie's giant
muscle bound body from toes to fingers in a matter of seconds. The sand instantly began
to fill in the repair the damage. Luna was sick to death of this. She tore her crucifix off
from around her neck and pressed it deep into Natalie's forehead the way a vampire slayer
would a wooden stake into a Nosferatu's heart. "EEEEEEAGGGH~!" Luna screamed with
exertion pouring her aura into Natalie's forcing out the massive layers of curses now
swimming through her sister's body and soul.... 'Please let her be something of her left in
there.'
The Alpha Female of the wolf pack of Karthis City screamed howled and snarled at the
strange unnatural feelings running through it, it's pitch reaching a high of insanity! Luna
felt the mismush of curses and enchantments on Natalie madly rip at tear at Luna's own
self in like a mindless animal.
"I AM SUCH AN IDIOT!" Viki cursed, "I forgot to remove her brainwashing when I KO'ed
her!" 'What kind of big sister am I supposed to be-?!'
Lucy meanwhile attacked Vicki with reckless abandon, becoming more chaotic even as her
master did. Her thoughts becoming increasingly random as the spells holding the city
together that she was now a part of were torn apart from the inside out. Lucy began to
cackle madly.
Vicki formed her longbow into a double ended sword keeping her crucifix wrapped up in
her other hand. "ERICA! LISA! GO! Lucy's my responsibility! I'm the one who promised to
save her! GO!"
"I'm not abandoning you or Luna!" Erica snapped.
"THAT'S AN ORDER!"
Erica saw the wolf beasts beginning to come to the rescue of her alpha female. "Oh no you
don't!" Erica created a napalm bomb and threw it at the ceiling, the intense heat turing it
to glass.
"You heard her!" Lisa grabbed Erica and the two angel vixens flew not bothering to run
right past their biggest sister and her sister who was now a mockery of what they had
themselves become. They could FEEL where Jasmine was easily enough.. but they didn't
know the way through the palace halls...Erica grabbed Lisa in turn and vibrated her shell's
molecules to the point where they were able to vibrate through the walls... Erica and Lisa
both felt sick on the other side when they passed through one of the walls containing a
soul of one of the people turned into sand statues to act as regulations to keep the city's
kitesune magic stable enough to function on such a large scale...
"UGH!" Erica almost threw up at the warped mindset the poor soul had been left with.
"I promise Kyriel we'll get there in time." Lisa said. ... 'Promise...' Lisa realized, 'I just
promised.... ' The feel weight of what she had just done hit her. She had -promised- she
was an Angel... promises weren't made unless an angel intended to keep it... no matter
what.
"I'm sorry all of you..." Lisa blinked away tears.
"Lisa?" Erica looked her sister confused.
Lisa threw a napalm bomb at the sand stone wall ahead of them, then took a war hammer
and smashed it to pieces. Releasing the soul that had been inside to the next life. "Forgive
me. But I've now made a promise to be there in time to help my little sister no matter
WHAT!"
Erica stood in absolute shock as demure Lisa began to tear a path of destruction through
the palace, it's being the best Erica could do to keep up, going to where Kyriel was like the
crow flies.

"Ladies and gentlemen this is not a hoax! I repeat this is NOT a hoax! Ladies and
gentlemen! Less than an hour ago countless computer programs claimed to be unknown
even to our software staff and that of countless other TV Networks and military personal,
shut down and became visible on their respective directories! Even more fantastic, weather
satellites confirm an unknown structure in the middle eastern desert! Numerous other
structures in supposedly abandoned or desolate parts of the world have become visible all
around the world!! The military nor the president have yet to offer comment!"
In London, Charlene and her family watched the TV news with more shock than surprise.
"Somebody finally went through with it." Charlene signed.
A friend of Charlene form work came through the door without knocking, "Hey Charlie you
see the news what ya think-" He stared, "What the heck! What happened to you?!"
Charlene's friend exclaimed, actually recognizing the foxes as Charlie and Angie but at the
same time his brain actually registering on the conscious level that they were fox people.
"I got kidnapped by a perverted fox prince and nearly got erased from existence."
Charlene said completely passively.
Her friend blinked a couple of times and said, ".... Why didn't ya try to sell a crazy
experience like that to the tabloids?"
Charlene groaned, Andrew sighed, Jennifer giggled.
+++++++
Barbera in San Francisco with her own family stood amazed at the screen. "Well." Barbera
said, "There goes the neighborhood."
+++++++
"ENOUGH~!!!" Tamthis boomed at the Vixen/Wolf Kyriel, the two King and Queen Wolf
beasts charges and tackled her, suddenly free of their chains.
+++++++
In reality, Tamthis screamed, his sandstone barrier shattering.
Jasmine blinked... something about Tamthis was different... he look... angry... more than
that... he almost looked feral. He took one step at a time, growling, "I do not fear you
angel! I do not fear ANYTHING! With the power I now have I have no NEED to fear! I have
access to both sides of power! You can't win!"
Jasmine wondered what had caused Tamthis to begin to act this strangely when he totally
had Jasmine outclass-?! Then she saw, his aura was going completely hay-wire!
Tamthis slashed at her with his claws, he was a good several feet out of range for that...
but a bull sized shadow of a wolf's paw formed in front of the fennec kitesune king and
nearly smacked Jasmine through several walls and right out of the palace! Instead it merely
slashed the room in half, several line now running through the walls. One had come
dangerously close to cutting Kryiel's limb body in pieces.
Tamthis snarled, and a WAVE of spiked sand wolf head bursted from the floor in front of
him, Jasmine flew, they would have torn her to pieces if they had made contact.
+++++++
"STOP!" The Kyriel wolf/vixen screamed then kicked the two giant beasts away from her
who hit the floor and bounced.
"Gee, that didn't look very cool." The fake looking Tammy blinked confused.
"I am lord of this house! How can you command my beasts!"
"I'm you now remember?" The wolf/vixen said.
++++++++
"I WILL RULE THE DESERT AND ALL THAT LIVES IN IT! You hear?! I WILL! I WILL! I WILL!"
Tamthis screamed creating a bus sized sludge hammer and swimming it around as if it
was made out of Styrofoam but left very solid impression when it missed Jasmine and sent
food splattering everywhere when it hit the dinner room table instead.
Jasmine hadn't said anything in the last several minutes, she couldn't get a word in
edgewise and Tamthis began to rant and rave endlessly.
Mundane wolves made out of sand began to drop from the ceiling like drops of water,
slashing and biting at Jasmine as much as each other.
++++++++
"You know!" The Vixen/Wolf shouted at the Id, "Those beasties really resemble you... I
betting they belong to you a lot more than him." She pointed at the fox king on the
throne.
"I AM NOT A 'HIM!' I am Tamthis!"
However.. the wolf beasts looked at each other confused, as tiny bits of them became
sand and began to float over to the id... in a stark reversal of become when the different
parts of Tamthis entered a piece of Tommy and began Tamthis... now the wolf beasts
when joining with Tommy's Id were not becoming the Wolf Beasts but becoming the Id!
"How can this happening!" Queen Tammia shouted.
"It's actually kinda simple." The Vixen/Wolf said, "I infected your totally insane and
fragmented mind with -reason- the last thing your state of mind needed to continue to
function the way it is... thus, you're beginning to suffer high levels of mental stress as
you're being forced to behold the truth of yourselves, your own actions and everything
elf... it is simply logical and..." The Vixen/Wolf began to echo in a male voice, "I think my
time is just about up...."
The Vixen/Wolf fell down... and the Vulcan... STILL totally a Vulcan stood tall and proper
with his arms behind his back still blind folded and gagged.
"Oh no you don't!" Queen Tammia grabbed at the Vulcan.
"Vulcan Death Grip." The vulcan said plainly grabbing her face and throw her face several
yards.
Kyriel's had to say it, "There's no such thing as the 'vulcan death grip'..."
Vulcan said plainly, "Indeed... but I doubted that they knew that."
'So what message do you want her to give to your family?'
'That I love them, that I've always loved them, and to accept my sisters as family too if
they'll have them. Oh, and to tell dad that I think I'd appreciate watching Deep Space Nine
with him now. And Maggie she's the cutest woman I've ever met.'
The memory drifted through Kyriel's mind... also now partially Tamthis' mind....
The Vixen/Wolf blinked a couple time and said, "Sisko."
"What?" Tamthis asked.
The vixen wolf stood up on shaking legs. "Thinking about it now... I think Sisko was cooler
than Kirk or Picard. I'm guess you'd like Kirk more cause he was more of a lady's man...
but Sisko in my humble opinion had more character development. While I do feel the
writers made some mistakes by having the Prophet -posses- his birth mother possibly
without her consent... I do feel the way Sisko slowly accepted his statue as the Emissary
through the series was rather well done. ... I do see what mom saw in Picard with him
being a 'realistic' age for the captain of a flag ship, but I feel Sisko due to his lesser
position faced some more slightly unique situations."
Lady Tammia didn't believes this, "What meaningless tripe is this-?!"
"Just something I thought of when I remember mom's note she wanted me to give to her
family, she mentioned DS9 in it and it made me think about those memories a bit more.
She as Jake sat THROUGH the show more than watched it... but I think I'd actually enjoy it."
"Hey that actually sounds kinda cool... I remember Klingon sex is actually kinda kinky."
The artificial looking Tammy coming over the wolf/vixen Kyriel who calmly touch
Tammy... who in a flash of white light turned into a fox plushie toy that the Wolf/Vixen
Kryriel picked up and hugged with one arm. "Shush it's okay..." The wolf/vixen ruffled the
toy's faux fur as if it understood her, "You belong here now, you're not an invader
anymore..."
The vixen/wolf looked up at the fennec king on the towering throne. Who was speech less
as the others including the still dissolving wolves. "You only have two choices left
Tamthis... you either let yourself become a part of Tommy... or you'll be obliterated..."
"GET OUT!!!" Tamthis bellow, sending a window with the force of a hurricane which blasted
one of the walls of the living room out revealing the sand dunes underneath a starry sky.
The Vulcan stood in front of the fox/wolf whose fur ruffled in the wind who otherwise
stood his ground.
"I believe," The vulcan said addressing Kyriel, "You have been ignoring a rather logical
question as to the state of your arrival."
Kryiel blinked... and realized. "I've been lying to myself... ... No matter what knowledge I
was born with... I'm still less than a day old... I'm not a baby, because a baby does not
understand... but..." The fox/vixen began to MELT... like paint hit by turpentine the form
began to melt away and become goo on the floor. "I'm still just a kid. Dad -trusted- me
and I almost let him down. Mom -trusted- me against her better judgement and I nearly
screwed up everything with no way to fix it.... because I thought I could just skip to being
an adult."
The vixen/wolf form finished melting away, still holding the fox plushie which she handed
to the Vulcan who would hand it to the Id where it belonged.
The little girl vixen in the fur closed her eyes and sighed as a pair of wings made out of
shades of light sprung from her back. Two curved blades formed in either hand, with a
link at the base that could enable them to join into a bow when need be. "Dad always
wanted people to remember there's no such thing as 'no choice.' Mom was willing to do
whatever she had to make sure those she loved were okay." Kyriel blinked away tears as
she glared up at Tamthis with the fury only a child -could- have, "They gave up
EVERYTHING they were, and WOULD BE, just so I could -exist-!!! I won't let you take that
away!"
"I am lord and master of this house and no other!" Tamthis bellowed.... suddenly... Lady
Tammia and Queen Tammia where in his hand by their throats... he crushed into necks
into fragments... they turned to sand and flew into his body... he grew larger. Their
screams of horror and dismay echoed through the living room and the nightly desert
beyond. "I will consume you."
"I'm not gonna let that happen!" The vixen cherub snapped back.
"LET happen?" Lord King Tamthis said in frustrated and annoyed tone.
"Unlike you, I have friends and family I don't need to brainwash to know I can count on
them!"

Erica and Lisa came to the hole made by Kryiel's body, looking strangely smaller than
before, and beyond it, they saw the throne room... with Jasmine using technique that put
anything they could to pitiful shame to fend off attacks by someone who could only be
Tamthis surrounded by an aura that made as much sense as a neo-post-modern-melo-
drama and throwing attacks at the veteran angel that could be described as the drawings
and carving of a deranged maniac brought into reality.
Lisa took a look at Kyriel shell while Erica keep her eyes on the battle.
"Where is Kyriel?" Lisa wondered. Erica didn't need to ask what she meant. Their
transmutation into part of the Race Of Messengers and again into Soldiers in Heaven's
Army had left them with no delusions about what was themselves and what was just
window dressing. But Lisa still felt alarm at wondering where Kyriel was and why she had
left her shell so utterly vulnerable.
"Fighting on the inside I think..." Erica pointed at Tamthis who couldn't seem to shut up on
how 'of course he was right.'
"Then that's where I'm going." Lisa said without a second thought. The body that had been
violated by Karther, and had left her with so much shame at that violation, she strangely
didn't feel that scared or worried about stepping out of to save her little sister who she
had barely had a chance to get to know yet. (Which was all the more reason to help her so
they'd have the chance later.) She looked at Erica, "You coming to?"
