Then came the sound of someone snoring albeit roughly. “Poor sleepy boy.” Gina said in a soft tone. She was cooking what seemed to be ham with eggs. Muffin was out killing more scorpions and Vito well. Gina cast another glance into the tent, he was still out like a light. “Serves you right for staying awake for weeks at a time, bad boy.” She snickered a little then cast the occasional glance around to survey the area. “I seem to recall Vito claiming nothing could sneak up on him, still better safe than ambushed though.” She glanced to the item hovering to her left it was tangible only to her; and seemed to be something akin to a short ranged mini map obviously magical in nature. That is when a whistle rang out, “Muffin?” She glanced to her map, somehow Muffin did not show up on it, though she was the sneaky type.\n    “Yeah” The cat girl in question called back.\n    “How'd it go?” Gina asked, watching her approach.\n    “Pretty good.” Muffin responded in turn hoisting up a bag of venom sacks. “Got the last he wanted, you don't have to go out again.”\n    “Well that's good, no more rotation then.” Gina said with a sigh.\n    “Master still out?” Muffin asked now approaching and warming up near the fire.\n    “He's stirred a little more than he did yesterday. Still on his back though I don't think we'll be able to move him.” Gina told her a little worried\n    “Should we be worried that Vito has been asleep for two days?” Muffin asked.\n    “If he wasn't a devil, I would be.” Gina started tasting what she was cooking for a moment. “But seeing as this isn't the first time he's done this, and he is still breathing.” Gina stated pointing at his chest still filling with air.\n    That was when something they didn't expect happened. “Don't worry girl's I'll fix him up for ya. If I don't you'll be here long after your food runs out.” A male voice said. Both Gina and Muffin's eyes shot open then looked over. He was standing next to the fire, eating a piece of ham; had plucked it right out of the pan. He was wearing a dark blue pair of pants of a material they did not recognize. A dark blue hooded jacket of a material that seemed like cotton. His ear length dark brown hair was simply brushed back. White though slightly tanned skin poked out from anywhere not covered in clothes. He was also wearing a pair of glasses not that they knew what they were. Though not that the girls knew what it was, but he had a bit of a forced sounding Italian accent it came and went as he talked; And the girls never noticed him until he spoke. “Yeah, big lug has broken something in his head.” The man said suddenly standing over Vito. “I'll have him patched up in a jiffy.” Gina looked at Muffin who nodded and drew her daggers. Gina grabbed her staff ready for the follow up as Muffin did her thing and stepped through the shadows and was about to stab him in the neck. “Woah.” The man called out as Muffin found herself... floating a blue aura around her. “Easy kitten. Ladies can't explain who am I just yet; mainly because I'm not too sure myself. But I am not an enemy, you can be sure of that.”\n    “Who are you then? And do you want to step away from our master?” Gina asked pointing her staff at the man.\n    “That is the purrfect question for you to ask.” The man said with a chuckle as he scratched Muffin's chin. “Is it pawful of me that I don't remember my name?” Muffins ears twitched at the terrible puns. The man with a laugh went to tending to Vito; He had crouched down resting on his feet as he manipulated an aura around Vito's head. Gina had a look like she was trying to cast a spell, but after a second she knew the man wasn't letting her. Muffin strained a little but despite her best efforts was now... floating upside down.\n    “What are you doing to master?!” Muffin snapped as she continued to float in circles.\n    “Eh,” The man started. He held a hand out to Vito then said. “Though I doubt you ladies will understand the reference. In short he blew a fuse, but in blowing that fuse something more important was protected.” He laughed a little looked back at Muffin then asked, “If I put you down, are you going to try and stab me again kitten?”\n    “Maybe.” Muffin fired back “You showed up out of nowhere and are doing things to my master. You think I wouldn't try to protect him?”\n    “Well,” the man chuckled a little then scratched his chin. “Ok got me there; Strike true Pan, strike true.” He chuckled a little more before bopping her nose. He then looked back down at Vito feeling the damage rolling around in his skull. “Truth be told this is weird ain't it. I can't do nothin though. Not gonna stand here watch this kid die because someone slapped my hands and told me no.” He took a moment to visibly calm. “Oh well, should be enough.” The man said looking up at something the girls could not see. “There we go all fixed well for now. Vito should wake up in a few minutes. Girls do us a favor eh? When you get home. Tell Anthony it's in our best interest he gave Vito a thorough once over. I'm no healer; what I did here is just a band aid at best. But it should last more then long enough to get the lug home. But don't let him fool you, stubborn turd is more hurt then he'll let on. He's determined to confine his ruin to himself; rather then ask for help from those he cares for.” He sighed though then said, “Oh well, anyway all done, well as far as I can help.” He was then behind Gina gave her a pat on the should then said, “Sorry ladies didn't mean to frighten ya. Anyway give it a moment, he'll be awake.” And with that before he finished talking he was gone, as he said, “See you around girls.” He was just gone no trace at all. No marks in the dirt were he stood no traces suggesting he moved. Muffin found herself plopping down into the dirt. Was like he was never there. Muffin got up and joined Gina who was looking around, it was a flat landscape no one just vanishes. The two panned the horizon, maybe he was just fast. Vito had an impressive speed after all. However the sickly sounding groan they heard behind them made them jump.\n    “Gahhh, Volkswagen.” Vito groaned as he sat up in the tent. “Girls, you there?”\n    “Vito?” Gina asked turning around. Muffin joined her on her trip to check on him.\n    “How are you feeling sleepy head?” Muffin asked\n    Vito looked around, but his vision was horribly blurred. The very act of looking around was slow, choppy, and unbelievably painful; the best way he could describe it would have been akin to lag only real time. His hands shook, his head hurt, he felt like shit and he didn't know why. He felt so achy his every move caused him a jolt of agonizing pain. “I'll be fine, a little sore I guess.” He said even as he tried to keep his vision from making him sick, he had never been motion sick before let alone while sitting down.\n    But they didn't buy it. The fact they were warned about it helped. It took Gina and Muffin only a second to see all the flags Vito was trying his damnedest to hide; the dork going as far as to break into a very painful stretch once they poked their heads into the tent. “Oh bullshit.” Gina said as she called him on it. Vito cocked his head at her for a moment till he couldn't fake it more and groaned as he cradled his chest.\n    “Gahh fuck me...” Vito groaned as he rolled over into the bedding under him. “How did you two know?”\n    “Someone warned us.” Muffin said as she came over to him “Said you were determined to keep your ruin to yourself.”\n    “Ohh.” Vito groaned as Muffin helped him back up. “Fucking glasses wearing jerk. Is it so bad... that I don't want to worry people?”\n    “Well whoever he is I owe him a drink.” Gina said as she examined the magic aura around him. “If he hadn't warned us this little illusion of yours would have worked and we would have let you do things.” Gina quickly and softly tapped Vito on the nose. The resulting all though light impact was enough to make Vito double over again. “Thought so. Well you mister are going to sit right there and do nothing while we pack up. You need a healer, what was that word you used... Asap”\n    “Roger that.” Vito said no longer fighting them. It was such a unique pain it clearly wasn't a sensation meant for a human mind. His biggest issue was his mind didn't know how to process all the information he was getting from his body. Which was coming in by the tidal wave; so at random intervals he'd fall apart at the seams and fall back down. It would last for a short while till he'd finally sit back up. As Vito went through these near fit like attacks of pain the girls quickly packed up the camp. It took some doing, but Vito managed to get to the fire pit. The heat felt pleasant and there he was out of the way.\n    “You know any healing spells?” Muffin asked as she started rolling up the bedding.\n    “Wish I did,” Gina said as she started taking down tent walls. “But sadly I am an Ice Queen, not a priest.” It took a short while as the girls packed up. “Though to be fair, I do know some teleportation magic, made it myself in fact; spent a few years getting it right. Sadly, it uses a lot of mana and right now I do not have enough.”\n    “How is that possible?” Muffin asked “I don't know much about magic but don't you mages just make that stuff?”\n    “You would think so.” Gina said till she noticed Vito trying to call her over. She paused a moment then walked over to Vito. He handed her his gem, showing her how to put stuff in it quickly. With a smile and a nod Gina took the gem to help with packing away the tent and bedding. “I've actually studied mana quiet a lot during my time. No mages actually collect mana from the environment. We don't make it we just naturally collect it, as easily and naturally as breathing; the mana in the area is weak. I spent a lot... the other day, I panicked and spent most of it reinforcing my mage armor spell.” Muffin nodded recalling the figure creeping over her shoulder. She watched Gina give the gem a poke till Muffin tried stuffing bedding into it. It worked the materials just vanished right into the gem. With the gem the girls got the camp packed away much faster then just trying to pack everything into the bags they had. Took about half an hour but soon it was just them Vito and the fire. Gina and Muffin both tried to get him on his feet, but that didn't go over well. The second they tried to pull Vito dropped like a rotten log.\n    “Ok... that's not going to happen.” Vito groaned. The best way he could describe it was like his senses had blown out; Everything hurt. If you touched him he was racked with pain. He looked at something too hard his eyes burned. Even breathing was painful, he had started taking shallower and shallower breaths just to try and keep himself from hurting. “Alright change of plans, so teleportation then?”\n    “Not enough mana though,” Gina said again\n    “You can use mine,” Vito started letting out a groan. “Though it's going to suck; Just put a hand on the back of my neck.”\n    “Alright then.” Gina said. The two girls made one more pass to make sure they didn't miss anything. After putting the bags into a pile next to Vito Gina got ready. Vito was still cradling himself as Gina pressed her hand into his neck. He let out a painful groan at her touch. “OH sorry.” Gina said with a worried smile\n    “It's alright, just hurts a lot is all.” Vito said to try and lighten the tone. Vito let out a slight grunt, seconds later Gina let out a surprised gasp.\n    “Oh my.” Gina tried not to coo. “You have a lot of mana.”\n    “How close can you get us with that?” Vito asked doing his best to ignore the pain of her touch at this moment.\n    “Rather pinpoint,” Gina said resisting the urge to bite her lip. “Usually takes a fair amount of mana. With this much I could get rather creative with this spell. Hell, portals don't sound like a stretch anymore with you.”\n    “Glad to hear it.” Vito groaned, “Home please, I'm holding it up rather well, but I am in a huge deal of pain.”\n    “As you wish.” Gina said as she started pulling mana. A few frosty blue runes started glowing on the ground around them. Gina started a chant, the words made no sense though, they were power not meaning. The runes grew brighter and an ethereal sphere formed around them. Gina moved then into a round of purposeful hand motions; flowing through the air and runes forming like ice in the air in the wake of her hand. “Muffin darling, sorry in advance, I'm sure this is about to make you sick.” Next came a humming as small lighting bolts started forming around the bubble. Next came a bright flash and a crack of thunder. Once the sounds and the light show stopped they found themselves a few feet from Vito's tent home. “Wow, we got closer than I thought.”\n    “Oh fuck!” Muffin groaned out followed by a retch sounding gag. Vito managed to get his head turned around in time to see Muffin bolt for the nearest bush; the girl quickly tossing just about all of her cookies.\n    “As I feared, sorry sweetheart.” Gina said as she pressed her hand to the left side of her face. “That makes four half morphs and five full morphs, all the same results. I fear this spell does not like the beast-kin stomach. How am I going to fix that?”\n    Gina tisked a little till Muffin said with a sickly sounding, “I'll be ok, go get Jessica.” Gina turned to ask but it was naught point.\n    “The fuck?!” Chara yelled as she rushed outside, a blade in hand. “What's with the deal Thor? I was asleep damn it!” Muffin let out another retch, then groaned as she let out a slight whimper.\n    Gina looked around, then asked, “Wait, what's going on? It was morning when we left, wasn't it?” She asked looking down at Vito.\n    He looked around then said though softly, “Yeah, it was morning.”\n    That's when Sara walked up next to Vito. He looked up at Her as she softly touched his head, holding him. “You are a lucky little boy.” Sara sighed sitting down and holding him still. “No wonder you guys just about fell through time.” Sara suddenly held him to her shoulder Vito going through a few spasms. Her wings cradled him a bit as his movements went jerky. She softly hushed him as she tried to hold him still. “EASY EASY. Just let it go, I've got you.” That's when Vito went full dead weight. Sara coiled her wing tightly around him. “That's it, Shhh it'll be ok. How did you even do this to yourself?”\n    “What just happened?” Gina asked approaching the pair.\n    “Well, there is a reason mortals aren't meant to play with teleportation magic. Let alone with a extra-sensory damaged devil as the battery.” Sara started as she continued to cradle and work on Vito. “You guys fell out of time, I caught you a week ago. I only just managed to wrangle you guys back in. If I wasn't here you guys would have gone no less than an eon forward in time.”\n    Gina looked a little floored, and a little ways away Muffin let out another sickened retch. “That's... but how I've used this spell many times, it's never gone wrong... aside from making the beast kin sick.” Gina said as she pointed back toward muffin.\n    “You've never used a critically wounded devils mana either.” Sara started as she started massaging his temples. “Vito's mana is far more potent than yours, and he's insanely wounded. I swear I've never seen a human mind not only try to unlock but try to use omnipresence. Do you know how much information that is? There is no mortal brain that can handle that kind of information flow; I'm honestly surprised his brain isn't melting out of his ears.”\n    That's when Sara heard something, Vito was muttering under his breath to himself. “four hundred eighty six thousand five hundred and fifty one, Four hundred eighty six thousand five hundred fifty two...” Vito kept a rapid fire pace muttering the chain of numbers as he counted something. His eyes where blank he didn't respond to anything. He just kept muttering the chain of numbers. That's when Sara noticed.\n    “Oh my god,” Sara started truly amazed, “He's counting the molecules of oxygen in the air.” She paused for a moment knowing her healing wasn't truly amounting to much. “Anthony! He needs help. I can't keep up.”\n    “Very well.” Anthony said suddenly appearing before him.\n    He appeared before the two of them for a moment, was the first time Gina had seen him, but his voice was familiar. “Hey wait you were that light.”\n    “Yes, I was a light, about a week and a half ago.” Anthony stated matter of factually. “And I wasn't able to introduce myself, My name is Anthony.” He reached down to his belt and unlatched his tome. He started leafing through the pages, till he stopped and poked Vito in the forehead. He stopped counting only to groan. “hypersensitivity, extra-sensory damage. Nope that spell won't work.” Anthony went back to leafing through the pages as the others gathered around. Jessica was about to try healing him herself, but Anthony quickly stopped her. “Your heart is in the right place darling, but this wound is beyond you. Do nothing or you'll make it worse.”\n    Her hands retreated giving a quick nod. That's when someone stood over Anthony's shoulder. He was wearing the same blue pants and dark blue hoodie; he pushed his glasses back up higher on his nose till he said. “No not that one, would make his senses go haywire.”\n    “I see,” Anthony started flicking to another page. “His senses are already melting, let's try to avoid any unneeded stress.”\n    “No go on that one either, it would make his skin crawl right now.” The man said as he continued to hover over Anthony's shoulder though now he had somehow gotten his hands on a doughnut and was eating it.\n    “I see,” Anthony muttered. “What about this one?”\n    “Nope eyes would melt, ugh scary.” the stranger responded.\n    “And this one?” Anthony asked in turn.\n    “No dice,” the stranger said shrugging his shoulders “that one would do way more harm than good.”\n    “This is frustrating,” Anthony said as he pinched the bridge of his nose\n    “Ey lighten up,” The stranger said patting Anthony's back. “It's a unique wound, even that huger of a bull of ours has never had to heal this kind of damage; and he’s one of the most powerful healers in your book.”\n    Sara kept cradling Vito who continued to get worse. “Guys can we pick up the pace? Don't want to rush you but now he's counting the particles that make up my body.”\n    Anthony leafed through a few more pages till he asked, “What about this one? Seems to be one of the most powerful healing spells in the book.”\n    The stranger looked into the book for a moment, blank as it seemed. “Yeah, that one should work wonders, let er rip.” He said as he took another bite of his doughnut.\n    But the stranger was gone without a trace. Anthony accessed the spell. His wings started shining and his halo went bright. Suddenly he was all Vito could feel that alone was strangely comforting. Anthony quickly replaced Sara and pulled Vito to his shoulder. “Divine Intervention, Within the Heart of Kindness.” Sara was baffled. She knew that spell... it was one of her brothers. He chanted a little more and suddenly everything else was gone. Was just Vito and Anthony sitting together. No sound at all. The others had vanished and all there was was a white nothingness void. An aura then crept over Vito albeit slowly. It pulsed and changed colors many times. After moments of absolute silence Vito finally gasped. He panted raggedly for a few moments until he was finally able to control his eyes. He slowly panned up to Anthony's face. “Shh, it'll be ok. I've got you.”\n    “Where are we?” Vito asked as he eyes finally managed to look away from him.\n    “A white void.” Anthony responded obviously. “Seeing as what was killing you was how much information you were taking in, this will allow you to heal. Guess that's why he suggested it”\n    “I'm not.... going to say.... thank you.” Vito said weakly letting himself go limp against him again.\n    “Well that's ok, I wouldn't ask you too.” Anthony said with a smile. He pulled Vito back to his shoulder then said, “Just close your eyes and let yourself drift.” Anthony held his right arm up, he had on Thanos's gauntlet. “Sadly there is no snapping our fingers to make this one go away.” He snapped for effect but as quick as it came it was gone, so to was the gauntlet. He cradled Vito with his wings comforting him. “Go on, close your eyes, we need to heal all your senses.” Vito nodded his eyes did feel heavy. “It's going to be a slow process, so get comfortable.” Before he had even finished Vito was asleep. “Now then how do we keep this from happening again?” Anthony puzzled. Well he had all the time to try and figure it out. “Wait, if his mind is the weak link then.” Anthony held out his left hand suddenly a brain was before him. “If a normal human brain can't process all this information, then all we have to do is make his evolve.” Anthony rubbed chin a little with his left hand. “Wait I seem to recall something about a triple cortex. Could it really be as easy as that?” Anthony held his hand out, the brain before him phased a few times. “Oh bother, this is going to take time.” Anthony went silent as he went to his project. After a long time of silence something changed, finally. The project before Anthony had changed. The single brain was now part of a greater whole. The bottom left and right sides of the brain bubbled a little till from it grew two identical brains attached to make a far greater whole. “There we go, the so called next step in human evolution. This triple cortex brain should be strong enough to process omnipresence, I'll have to remember to do my own. Well then now that I finally know how to make it.” He held his fingers to Vito's forehead then pressed firmly. And again all was silent. The aura around Vito continued to glow changing colors from time to time. Then after yet another stretch of time Vito finally came to again. He let out a groan.\n    “Morning.” Vito said softly.\n    “Morning indeed.” Anthony said with a smile. “How do you feel?”\n    “Better.” Vito stated flatly. He held up his hand and flexed his fingers till he was then able to make his flesh as a whole move. A wave of movement rippled up his arm to his shoulder. From there the visible ripple of flesh waved across his chest and went to all the rest of his body. “AHHHHHHHHH” Vito just about moaned as he had managed to pop every joint in his body at once in his tidal wave of flesh movement.\n    “That was gross,” Anthony said having felt Vito's skin actually crawl, “Never do it again”\n    “How long have we been in here?” Vito asked finally able to carry himself.\n    “I lost count some time ago, but I was busy.” Anthony told him. “I believe we've been sitting here for just about ten years.”\n    “Seriously?” Vito asked in shock.\n    “I told you there was no snapping this one away.” Anthony told him, “though fate seems is on our side, the bubble we're in exist outside of time. We sat here for ten years outside it's about lunch time I believe.”\n    Vito looked at his hands, he could control his focus, he had an almost unreal ability to zoom in seeing his flesh up close. All his senses were sharper far beyond just superhuman. Colors were brighter sharper. He could easily see for miles. And the most important part he could finally make sense of the stream of nonsense he had been dealing with. He could feel outside the bubble. He could see Muffin's face as she paced back and forth. Jessica was sitting down with her brother, they were eating sandwiches; he could tell exactly what they were made out of too. Could smell the fish fillets, the tomato added to them with a kind of tartar sauce. it was so close to him he could taste them. Somehow Vito knew Jessica had made them. Inside his bedroom Chara was being glomped by Frisk who was being clingy and cuddly. “This is weird.” Vito stated his eyes unblinking as he felt just short of everything around them. “What did you do?”\n    “Exactly what I set out to do.” Anthony told him bluntly. “I fixed you.” At that he showed Vito his prototype mind. Three brains that looked like they had been fused together into a whole.\n    “Wait a triple cortex?” Vito asked shocked then feeling his head. “That was just theoretical nonsense we read about online.”\n    “Are you working now?” Anthony asked poking him a few times.\n    “Well yeah,” Vito stated “I feel great.” He said as he clenched his fist.\n    “Then shut up and don't question it. Seriously going to try and make me explain how your head works now? The hell's wrong with you?” Anthony scolded him softly. The bubble like void around them faded. They were in the same spot as when they sat down. Anthony gave Vito a pat before he got up, with a soft grunt though. He then went through an elaborate and well thought out set of stretches, and motions to pop his joints and just stretch in general. He gave a soft sigh once he had popped just about every joint in his body.\n    “What was that about dork?” Vito asked noting how limp his wings had just gone.\n    “What?” Anthony said with a soft laugh. “I was looking forward to that. I did just sit still in the same spot for ten and some change years.” Vito's face at that moment was just about priceless. With a smirk Anthony then said, “Yes, you're welcome. And here comes the welcoming committee, Vito mercy...”\n    Vito looked over as everyone that was there hurried over. Muffin was the first to get to them just about throwing herself at Vito; He saw it coming and easily caught her. “Master!” She shouted, starting to purr as Vito cradled her.\n    “Welcome back Vito, Anthony.” Jessica said after the tackle cuddle, her voice sounded so refreshing it genuinely felt strange to him.\n    “Afternoon darling.” Anthony said with a warm tone.\n    “Vito,” Jessica then couldn't resist rushing over to hug him. “Are you ok? I was so worried.”\n    “Yeah,” Vito started patting Anthony on the back with the hand not holding a cat. “Thanks to chibi feathers here.”\n    “Don't you dare start calling me that.” Anthony said with an aggravated scowl. “Anywho, I'm starving, ten years is a long time to survive on mana alone.”\n    “I made sandwiches.” Jessica said with a warm tone. “Would you like one?”\n    “Yes I'd love one,” Anthony replied giving her a smile. “Thank you darling.”\n    “Vito would you like one too?” Jessica asked giving him a smile too\n    “Sure would.” Vito answered back till he went on to say with a smirk. “Though I think I'd enjoy you more.”\n    “Perv.” Chara called out as she walked outside.\n    “Yeah yeah, you love it and you know it.” Vito said with a teasing tone waving her over. She looked away for a moment till with a frustrated growl she walked over and sat down next to him. \n     Chara growled at him a little more until she decided to cuddle into him. \"Jerk...\" Vito tussled her hair, it brought a smile to her face.\n    “Hi master.” Frisk then called out. She had followed Chara out but opted to remain quiet to see just how cute her sister had gotten.\n    Vito glanced at her a few times then said, “Oh so you're why Anthony woke up so soon.” Vito reached over and pat her head, till he called out. “Sara, you do know how many rules you're breaking right? The Storyteller himself might get a little angry. I mean that battle I had to go through with your brother to spring her was crazy.”\n    “Yeah...” Sara said with a pause. She quickly averted her eyes till she said. “I also remember you dying a lot... I didn't want to watch that again. You skipped a few chapters and the world didn't end... why couldn't I?”\n    “Aw that's sweet.” Anthony said as he rubbed her ears. “That was very kind of you dear.”\n    “And very convenient.” Chara said as Frisk glomped her again. “Seeing as no one else here could heal me... well say for Vito.” Despite the glomping Chara did her best to nuzzle him.\n    “Well,” Vito said reaching over to rub Frisk's head. “Glad to have you onboard... again.” Vito sighed saying after a moment. “This time without the mortal combat to the death with the god of hope, who started throwing realities at me.”\n    “Same deal right?” Frisk asked as she too shifted to cuddle.\n    “I don't see why not,” Vito said with a smile. “I actually need it, you want it plus that extra mana can come in handy.” Vito looked down at her till in an inner monologue [i]'The cardinal sin of lust, code named Frisk. We struck a deal in which in exchange for her freedom; and being the biggest enabler of her sexual appetites. She would allow me to make more out of sex with her then just feeling good. Turns out she can consume sexual fluids and use it to generate a very surprising amount of mana, in which she would give to me. Needless to say seeing as I'm a demonic fire hose in that category, this deal works out very well for me. Plus she doesn't tire where all the other girls have their limits. I'm a little ashamed to admit I let Wroth hurt herself trying to care for my needs. In the beginning I went after lust just to take the strain off of the others it was a strange meeting, regardless of the war I had to fight to get her.'[/i]\n\n…\n….\n…..\n\n[u]hey it worked, ok then showtime[/u]\n\n   [u][i]~In an alternate timeline~[/i][/u]\n\n  [u]  “Ahem” The stranger cleared his throat. “I'm not suppose to show you guys this, buuuut I don't think a little peek behind the curtain will hurt anythin. After a long and drawn out battle with Alex that i sadly can't show you; said fox lead Vito to where Sara, on his orders, kept the Sins locked away. This is Vito's first meeting with the Sin of Lust, and in fact the first time he and Alex were alone.”[/u]\n\n…\n\n    Alex's foot falls where heavy on a stone floor followed closely by the sound of Vito's boots. “So why do you guys have to lock them away like this?” Vito asked as he followed Alex; the hallway they were walking down was nondescript.\n    “Do you even know what they are?” Alex asked glancing slightly over his shoulder.\n    “You mean besides living infinity stones?” Vito fired back flatly.\n    “So you are aware of them then.” Alex said in turn.\n    “So what did they do to warrant this?” Vito asked as he looked around. The place was dark, not cold more like the lack of warmth. It was gloomy and depressing and obviously no one came here, even Sara rarely came. Vito wasn't sure who could stay sane here.\n    “Well they did lead to the destruction of my forebears.” Alex answered. “Though I hid them away because I'm rather partial to the mortals in existence existing. Need I bring up Thanos would you really have me leave the cardinal sins somewhere anyone could just get them. YOU, had to go through me, to get here.”\n    “Ok, Got me there.” Vito said with a sigh. They were silent until Alex lead Vito past one door, somehow Vito knew the wording on the door read Wroth. “So how did Wroth get away?”\n    “You have to ask?” Alex replied “The Storyteller took it. Before I could even say that I objected to it poof both it and him gone.”\n    “Damn,” Vito said with a snicker, “Must be frustrating having someone above you for a change huh.”\n    “Hush!” Alex snapped\n    “Oh my,” Vito smirked “Struck a nerve?”\n    “Hardly,” Alex said as he continued down the path “I'm above things like that.”\n    “Bullshit.” Vito said in turn. “You might be a god now, but you had to be mortal once.” At that Vito paused and poked his own head a few times. “That sister of yours is still mortal after all. Even if she's abusing her control over time to prevent aging.” Vito had finished his statement with a very sarcastic tone.\n    “Here we are,” Alex said as he turned to a door. “Though I must say, this is my first time coming here.”\n    “Why's that warden?” Vito asked watching the fox dig into his cloak.\n    “I am the Light of Hope you fool.” Alex said as he finally got what he was looking for a ring of rune etched keys. “And they are Shadows. I enter the same room as them they die, end of story. Believe it or not it was a choice made for mercy.”\n    “Yay.” Vito said as sarcastically as he could. “Please mister nightlight, lock me away in some dark hole so you won't melt me, or so that I don't get misused.”\n    “Why do you have such a problem with me?” Alex asked as he held the key to the door.\n    “Let me answer your question with some of my own,” Vito said back. “Where were you when Thanos decided he was going to snap half of his universe out of existence, hum? Where were you when that white haired fucker tortured Tia HUH? Where were you when the king of Vampires turned poor Anna into a fuck toy? HUH?!” Vito shouted as his emotions got the better of him. He grabbed Alex up by his collar and pulled him close “I have power! I can save people! I HAVE SAVED PEOPLE! You are a fucking god why do you do nothing?”\n    Alex looked Vito in the eyes who was able to calm under his gaze. He let Alex go then went about calming down “Feel better to get that off your chest?”Alex asked\n    “Yeah,” Vito said, “A little bit I guess.”\n    “Well, its not by choice I'll give you that.” Alex answered and Vito could tell he was telling the truth, in fact there was a sadness to the way he said it. He held out a key to Vito then said. “Here, as I mentioned before, I can't enter the room or it will die.”\n    “I've got a better idea.” Vito said snatching the key ring, though he could tell Alex let him. “Let me take them all. I'm the only bastard in creation who'd be stupid enough not to use them.”\n    “And why do you care? They don't have emotions, they can't feel lonely or sad, if that's what you're worried about.” Alex asked as he retrieved the keys.\n    “Guess it'd be...” Vito started but paused with a deep sigh. “It would have to be because I know whats its like to spend your life in a cell... though I called mine my room.”\n    “I see.” Alex said as he gave Vito's shoulder. “I have to say no, not because its flat out no. But because, well, and I say this because I know you'll understand; there is a reason Sonic and his little friends gather their kin one by one. Or do you not want your head to stay where it is? Do you know how much power we're talking about here? Maybe one day I’ll trust you that far. But the next Thanos will be on your head.”\n    “Ah,” Vito said with a nod. \n    Alex once more offered the correct key. \"Baby steps, while you can, remember?\" \n   Vito took it, then quickly opened the door, the lock even sounded heavy as he turned it over. Vito quickly entered the room and Alex closed it behind him.\n    “A guest?” A voice called out. “That's new, may I ask your name?”\n    “Vito.” He said. “You're lust correct?”\n    “That I am.” Lust called back. “So what brings you here Vito? The fox wouldn't just let you in without a fight or reason.”\n    “I want to offer you a deal.” Vito said watching as the shadow finally coalesced before him, eve he could barely see her. “As a devil I have a bottomless need for sex, and I don't want to keep hurting those I care for.”\n    “Aw that's sweet.” Lust cooed as she floated over to him. But the second she touched him, she went quiet. “I... wow. I'll be the first to admit, my sin is a bad one. I know it brings all kinds of pain to the victims of sexual assaults and those who are falsely accused. But I've never caused someone physical pain.”\n    “And it can kill me.” Vito said as he watched what passed for her face twist. “The irony, I was told I died, and as a virgin. Now lack of sex is fatal. It literally can't mean any more to me then that, tragic ain't it. I mean still feels good, but without it I die, end of story.”\n    “So you want to take me from this place...” Lust started her tone putting on a serious x to doubt, “And the Hopeful One will just let you?”\n    “Well,” Vito said scratching his neck a little, “I did have to fight him for it, pretty sure he killed me a few times.”\n    “Well, I do feel a bit guilty, and that alone is a present change.” Lust said as she floated around him a little more. “And I do feel Wroth's aura on you, wow you actually tamed Wroth. I'm impressed. Ok here's the deal, you give me freedom. I'll give you power. Deal?”\n    “Power huh how so?” Vito asked caressing the sins face.\n    “Well,” Lust started. “and forgive me if it sounds pervy. But I can use those sexual fluids of yours to generate mana and a good deal of it, well depending on quality. So [i]master[/i] deal?” at that Lust offered a hand.\n    “Deal.” Vito said as he shook her hand. “And I already have the perfect body for you, can't help wanting a matching set.\" After a moment Lust found 'herself' surprisingly solid and very much naked. “There you go, Frisk. Now light can't melt you anymore... well unless it's actively trying. Sara keeps trying with Wroth who keeps antagonizing her, had to spank them a few times.”\n    “Frisk?” Said girl asked looking at her body. Looking at the hair in her face. She touched her body a few times, she had never been solid. She slid her fingers over her new sex and felt the tingles.\n    “It's the name of that Character.” Vito said patting her head. “Wroth's a twin like character to you named Chara. You’re what's known as gender fluid.\" He watched as Frisk figured it out and changed her body to be male. As he switched back Vito continued on with, “Oh one sec.” Vito reached into a bag on his belt then went on with, “There we go. I prepared this in advance.” He handed her a shirt similar to Chara's only blue and purple striped. She quickly put it on then flinched when he walked toward the door.\n    “This isn't a joke right?” Frisk asked grabbing onto his hand. “You're actually going to get me out of here?”\n    “Uh yeah,” Vito asked picking her up “Why do you ask?”\n    “Well, People kind of hate us right?” Frisk asked. “It's why the fox locked us up isn't it? Don't you hate us? Don't you Hate me?”\n    “No, I don't hate you.” Vito said till he rubbed her head. “and He seems more the worrywart type. He was afraid people would misuse you and your siblings. I've seen what people can do with things similar to you, so I can understand his paranoia. Kind of glad he's got you under lock and key.”\n    “Are you going to misuse me?” Frisk asked in a suggestive tone.\n    “Nah.” Vito said with a laugh. “I don't think I'd need to anyway.” Vito pushed the door open but Frisk jumped when she saw Alex on the other side.\n    “Relax.” Alex said taking the key from Vito. “So long as you behave you need not fear me. Misbehave and I won't think twice though.”\n    “Ok.” Frisk said still covering in Vito's arms. “So you're the light of hope huh?”\n    “I am.” Alex said with a smirk. “Vito... how do you make them solid like that?”\n    “You don't know how??” Vito asked confused.\n\n..\n…\n….\n\n[u]was an interesting meeting huh?? Well let's see if I can find the plot again...[/u]\n\n[u]OH here we go you'll like this[/u]\n\n[u]*Ahem*\n\n    Lets see here, sorry folks still getting use to this...[/u]\n\n    The group had eaten their lunch, while at that Muffin had a few reports come in. She had run off after Vito asked her to check in on them. Anthony was inside Vito's tent house. Jacob had been called away to take care of things going on with Vito's troops. Vito himself was currently pawing at Jessica. Jessica had taken a seat in his lap. He himself had his nose in her neck, enjoying the pleasant aroma he discovered she had; his newly reforged senses where now truly beyond superhuman. He nipped at her neck his hands pawing and rubbing her midsection; a time or two pressing into and rubbing her breast. “Master please,” Jessica said with baited breath giggle. “That tickles.” Vito was acting like he had found a new toy and was loving it. Everything about her made him tingle. Her aura massaged his, her scent was delicious. Touching her skin made him tingle, her very voice got him hard. “Va, Vito... what's gotten into you?” Jessica said softly as he buried his face in her neck again. He had gotten hard she could feel it pressing against her. In truth Vito was taking his new senses for a spin, he could feel her body flinch at his touch. When he touch something tender it was though her whole being recoiled. Her aura would change and pulse at his touch. Finally he dipped one of his hands into her underwear. His fingers traced her opening a few times till he firmly rubbed her clit. She let out a surprised eep at his touch.\n    “It's just came to me that I do a shit job of returning the favor.” Vito said as he continued teasing her button. “You girls never once asked me for anything, and all I do is take take take. And you girls like the sweethearts you all are just keep giving.” He finally inserted a finger Jessica let out a loud moan as Vito cradled her further. “So let me push your buttons for a bit.”\n    “You say that.” Jessica cooed moaning a little. “But you also say that like being with you isn't pleasant.”\n    “Can't be that good...” Vito paused till he looked at her scratching his nose a bit. “Is it?”\n    “I'm not the only one who enjoys it.” Jessica said with a smile. She pointed to Chara who was trying her best not to look jealous. “Chara actually missed you a lot.”\n    “I see,” Vito said through a smile, “Guess I'll just have to make it up to her.”\n    Jessica smiled then told him. “I'm sure she'd like that.” But as Vito went toward making a move to start pulling her out of her clothes; it was like a projector reel was clipped, complete with the sound of the projector reel rolling with the film spinning around.\n\n    [u]uh... oops! Shit[/u]\n\n    [i]~Abrupt end of chapter~[/i]\n\n\n\n\n","writing_bbcode_parsed":"<span style='word-wrap: break-word;'><span class='font_title'>Game On</span><br /><span class='underline'>Chapter 15</span><br /><br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;There was the sound fire snapping and popping, just over that was someone was humming as they cooked sizzling meat sitting in a pan. Then came the sound of someone snoring albeit roughly. &ldquo;Poor sleepy boy.&rdquo; Gina said in a soft tone. She was cooking what seemed to be ham with eggs. Muffin was out killing more scorpions and Vito well. Gina cast another glance into the tent, he was still out like a light. &ldquo;Serves you right for staying awake for weeks at a time, bad boy.&rdquo; She snickered a little then cast the occasional glance around to survey the area. &ldquo;I seem to recall Vito claiming nothing could sneak up on him, still better safe than ambushed though.&rdquo; She glanced to the item hovering to her left it was tangible only to her; and seemed to be something akin to a short ranged mini map obviously magical in nature. That is when a whistle rang out, &ldquo;Muffin?&rdquo; She glanced to her map, somehow Muffin did not show up on it, though she was the sneaky type.<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Yeah&rdquo; The cat girl in question called back.<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;How&#039;d it go?&rdquo; Gina asked, watching her approach.<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Pretty good.&rdquo; Muffin responded in turn hoisting up a bag of venom sacks. &ldquo;Got the last he wanted, you don&#039;t have to go out again.&rdquo;<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Well that&#039;s good, no more rotation then.&rdquo; Gina said with a sigh.<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Master still out?&rdquo; Muffin asked now approaching and warming up near the fire.<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;He&#039;s stirred a little more than he did yesterday. Still on his back though I don&#039;t think we&#039;ll be able to move him.&rdquo; Gina told her a little worried<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Should we be worried that Vito has been asleep for two days?&rdquo; Muffin asked.<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;If he wasn&#039;t a devil, I would be.&rdquo; Gina started tasting what she was cooking for a moment. &ldquo;But seeing as this isn&#039;t the first time he&#039;s done this, and he is still breathing.&rdquo; Gina stated pointing at his chest still filling with air.<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;That was when something they didn&#039;t expect happened. &ldquo;Don&#039;t worry girl&#039;s I&#039;ll fix him up for ya. If I don&#039;t you&#039;ll be here long after your food runs out.&rdquo; A male voice said. Both Gina and Muffin&#039;s eyes shot open then looked over. He was standing next to the fire, eating a piece of ham; had plucked it right out of the pan. He was wearing a dark blue pair of pants of a material they did not recognize. A dark blue hooded jacket of a material that seemed like cotton. His ear length dark brown hair was simply brushed back. White though slightly tanned skin poked out from anywhere not covered in clothes. He was also wearing a pair of glasses not that they knew what they were. Though not that the girls knew what it was, but he had a bit of a forced sounding Italian accent it came and went as he talked; And the girls never noticed him until he spoke. &ldquo;Yeah, big lug has broken something in his head.&rdquo; The man said suddenly standing over Vito. &ldquo;I&#039;ll have him patched up in a jiffy.&rdquo; Gina looked at Muffin who nodded and drew her daggers. Gina grabbed her staff ready for the follow up as Muffin did her thing and stepped through the shadows and was about to stab him in the neck. &ldquo;Woah.&rdquo; The man called out as Muffin found herself... floating a blue aura around her. &ldquo;Easy kitten. Ladies can&#039;t explain who am I just yet; mainly because I&#039;m not too sure myself. But I am not an enemy, you can be sure of that.&rdquo;<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Who are you then? And do you want to step away from our master?&rdquo; Gina asked pointing her staff at the man.<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;That is the purrfect question for you to ask.&rdquo; The man said with a chuckle as he scratched Muffin&#039;s chin. &ldquo;Is it pawful of me that I don&#039;t remember my name?&rdquo; Muffins ears twitched at the terrible puns. The man with a laugh went to tending to Vito; He had crouched down resting on his feet as he manipulated an aura around Vito&#039;s head. Gina had a look like she was trying to cast a spell, but after a second she knew the man wasn&#039;t letting her. Muffin strained a little but despite her best efforts was now... floating upside down.<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;What are you doing to master?!&rdquo; Muffin snapped as she continued to float in circles.<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Eh,&rdquo; The man started. He held a hand out to Vito then said. &ldquo;Though I doubt you ladies will understand the reference. In short he blew a fuse, but in blowing that fuse something more important was protected.&rdquo; He laughed a little looked back at Muffin then asked, &ldquo;If I put you down, are you going to try and stab me again kitten?&rdquo;<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Maybe.&rdquo; Muffin fired back &ldquo;You showed up out of nowhere and are doing things to my master. You think I wouldn&#039;t try to protect him?&rdquo;<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Well,&rdquo; the man chuckled a little then scratched his chin. &ldquo;Ok got me there; Strike true Pan, strike true.&rdquo; He chuckled a little more before bopping her nose. He then looked back down at Vito feeling the damage rolling around in his skull. &ldquo;Truth be told this is weird ain&#039;t it. I can&#039;t do nothin though. Not gonna stand here watch this kid die because someone slapped my hands and told me no.&rdquo; He took a moment to visibly calm. &ldquo;Oh well, should be enough.&rdquo; The man said looking up at something the girls could not see. &ldquo;There we go all fixed well for now. Vito should wake up in a few minutes. Girls do us a favor eh? When you get home. Tell Anthony it&#039;s in our best interest he gave Vito a thorough once over. I&#039;m no healer; what I did here is just a band aid at best. But it should last more then long enough to get the lug home. But don&#039;t let him fool you, stubborn turd is more hurt then he&#039;ll let on. He&#039;s determined to confine his ruin to himself; rather then ask for help from those he cares for.&rdquo; He sighed though then said, &ldquo;Oh well, anyway all done, well as far as I can help.&rdquo; He was then behind Gina gave her a pat on the should then said, &ldquo;Sorry ladies didn&#039;t mean to frighten ya. Anyway give it a moment, he&#039;ll be awake.&rdquo; And with that before he finished talking he was gone, as he said, &ldquo;See you around girls.&rdquo; He was just gone no trace at all. No marks in the dirt were he stood no traces suggesting he moved. Muffin found herself plopping down into the dirt. Was like he was never there. Muffin got up and joined Gina who was looking around, it was a flat landscape no one just vanishes. The two panned the horizon, maybe he was just fast. Vito had an impressive speed after all. However the sickly sounding groan they heard behind them made them jump.<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Gahhh, Volkswagen.&rdquo; Vito groaned as he sat up in the tent. &ldquo;Girls, you there?&rdquo;<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Vito?&rdquo; Gina asked turning around. Muffin joined her on her trip to check on him.<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;How are you feeling sleepy head?&rdquo; Muffin asked<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Vito looked around, but his vision was horribly blurred. The very act of looking around was slow, choppy, and unbelievably painful; the best way he could describe it would have been akin to lag only real time. His hands shook, his head hurt, he felt like shit and he didn&#039;t know why. He felt so achy his every move caused him a jolt of agonizing pain. &ldquo;I&#039;ll be fine, a little sore I guess.&rdquo; He said even as he tried to keep his vision from making him sick, he had never been motion sick before let alone while sitting down.<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;But they didn&#039;t buy it. The fact they were warned about it helped. It took Gina and Muffin only a second to see all the flags Vito was trying his damnedest to hide; the dork going as far as to break into a very painful stretch once they poked their heads into the tent. &ldquo;Oh bullshit.&rdquo; Gina said as she called him on it. Vito cocked his head at her for a moment till he couldn&#039;t fake it more and groaned as he cradled his chest.<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Gahh fuck me...&rdquo; Vito groaned as he rolled over into the bedding under him. &ldquo;How did you two know?&rdquo;<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Someone warned us.&rdquo; Muffin said as she came over to him &ldquo;Said you were determined to keep your ruin to yourself.&rdquo;<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Ohh.&rdquo; Vito groaned as Muffin helped him back up. &ldquo;Fucking glasses wearing jerk. Is it so bad... that I don&#039;t want to worry people?&rdquo;<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Well whoever he is I owe him a drink.&rdquo; Gina said as she examined the magic aura around him. &ldquo;If he hadn&#039;t warned us this little illusion of yours would have worked and we would have let you do things.&rdquo; Gina quickly and softly tapped Vito on the nose. The resulting all though light impact was enough to make Vito double over again. &ldquo;Thought so. Well you mister are going to sit right there and do nothing while we pack up. You need a healer, what was that word you used... Asap&rdquo;<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Roger that.&rdquo; Vito said no longer fighting them. It was such a unique pain it clearly wasn&#039;t a sensation meant for a human mind. His biggest issue was his mind didn&#039;t know how to process all the information he was getting from his body. Which was coming in by the tidal wave; so at random intervals he&#039;d fall apart at the seams and fall back down. It would last for a short while till he&#039;d finally sit back up. As Vito went through these near fit like attacks of pain the girls quickly packed up the camp. It took some doing, but Vito managed to get to the fire pit. The heat felt pleasant and there he was out of the way.<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;You know any healing spells?&rdquo; Muffin asked as she started rolling up the bedding.<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Wish I did,&rdquo; Gina said as she started taking down tent walls. &ldquo;But sadly I am an Ice Queen, not a priest.&rdquo; It took a short while as the girls packed up. &ldquo;Though to be fair, I do know some teleportation magic, made it myself in fact; spent a few years getting it right. Sadly, it uses a lot of mana and right now I do not have enough.&rdquo;<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;How is that possible?&rdquo; Muffin asked &ldquo;I don&#039;t know much about magic but don&#039;t you mages just make that stuff?&rdquo;<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;You would think so.&rdquo; Gina said till she noticed Vito trying to call her over. She paused a moment then walked over to Vito. He handed her his gem, showing her how to put stuff in it quickly. With a smile and a nod Gina took the gem to help with packing away the tent and bedding. &ldquo;I&#039;ve actually studied mana quiet a lot during my time. No mages actually collect mana from the environment. We don&#039;t make it we just naturally collect it, as easily and naturally as breathing; the mana in the area is weak. I spent a lot... the other day, I panicked and spent most of it reinforcing my mage armor spell.&rdquo; Muffin nodded recalling the figure creeping over her shoulder. She watched Gina give the gem a poke till Muffin tried stuffing bedding into it. It worked the materials just vanished right into the gem. With the gem the girls got the camp packed away much faster then just trying to pack everything into the bags they had. Took about half an hour but soon it was just them Vito and the fire. Gina and Muffin both tried to get him on his feet, but that didn&#039;t go over well. The second they tried to pull Vito dropped like a rotten log.<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Ok... that&#039;s not going to happen.&rdquo; Vito groaned. The best way he could describe it was like his senses had blown out; Everything hurt. If you touched him he was racked with pain. He looked at something too hard his eyes burned. Even breathing was painful, he had started taking shallower and shallower breaths just to try and keep himself from hurting. &ldquo;Alright change of plans, so teleportation then?&rdquo;<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Not enough mana though,&rdquo; Gina said again<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;You can use mine,&rdquo; Vito started letting out a groan. &ldquo;Though it&#039;s going to suck; Just put a hand on the back of my neck.&rdquo;<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Alright then.&rdquo; Gina said. The two girls made one more pass to make sure they didn&#039;t miss anything. After putting the bags into a pile next to Vito Gina got ready. Vito was still cradling himself as Gina pressed her hand into his neck. He let out a painful groan at her touch. &ldquo;OH sorry.&rdquo; Gina said with a worried smile<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;It&#039;s alright, just hurts a lot is all.&rdquo; Vito said to try and lighten the tone. Vito let out a slight grunt, seconds later Gina let out a surprised gasp.<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Oh my.&rdquo; Gina tried not to coo. &ldquo;You have a lot of mana.&rdquo;<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;How close can you get us with that?&rdquo; Vito asked doing his best to ignore the pain of her touch at this moment.<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Rather pinpoint,&rdquo; Gina said resisting the urge to bite her lip. &ldquo;Usually takes a fair amount of mana. With this much I could get rather creative with this spell. Hell, portals don&#039;t sound like a stretch anymore with you.&rdquo;<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Glad to hear it.&rdquo; Vito groaned, &ldquo;Home please, I&#039;m holding it up rather well, but I am in a huge deal of pain.&rdquo;<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;As you wish.&rdquo; Gina said as she started pulling mana. A few frosty blue runes started glowing on the ground around them. Gina started a chant, the words made no sense though, they were power not meaning. The runes grew brighter and an ethereal sphere formed around them. Gina moved then into a round of purposeful hand motions; flowing through the air and runes forming like ice in the air in the wake of her hand. &ldquo;Muffin darling, sorry in advance, I&#039;m sure this is about to make you sick.&rdquo; Next came a humming as small lighting bolts started forming around the bubble. Next came a bright flash and a crack of thunder. Once the sounds and the light show stopped they found themselves a few feet from Vito&#039;s tent home. &ldquo;Wow, we got closer than I thought.&rdquo;<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Oh fuck!&rdquo; Muffin groaned out followed by a retch sounding gag. Vito managed to get his head turned around in time to see Muffin bolt for the nearest bush; the girl quickly tossing just about all of her cookies.<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;As I feared, sorry sweetheart.&rdquo; Gina said as she pressed her hand to the left side of her face. &ldquo;That makes four half morphs and five full morphs, all the same results. I fear this spell does not like the beast-kin stomach. How am I going to fix that?&rdquo;<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Gina tisked a little till Muffin said with a sickly sounding, &ldquo;I&#039;ll be ok, go get Jessica.&rdquo; Gina turned to ask but it was naught point.<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;The fuck?!&rdquo; Chara yelled as she rushed outside, a blade in hand. &ldquo;What&#039;s with the deal Thor? I was asleep damn it!&rdquo; Muffin let out another retch, then groaned as she let out a slight whimper.<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Gina looked around, then asked, &ldquo;Wait, what&#039;s going on? It was morning when we left, wasn&#039;t it?&rdquo; She asked looking down at Vito.<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;He looked around then said though softly, &ldquo;Yeah, it was morning.&rdquo;<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;That&#039;s when Sara walked up next to Vito. He looked up at Her as she softly touched his head, holding him. &ldquo;You are a lucky little boy.&rdquo; Sara sighed sitting down and holding him still. &ldquo;No wonder you guys just about fell through time.&rdquo; Sara suddenly held him to her shoulder Vito going through a few spasms. Her wings cradled him a bit as his movements went jerky. She softly hushed him as she tried to hold him still. &ldquo;EASY EASY. Just let it go, I&#039;ve got you.&rdquo; That&#039;s when Vito went full dead weight. Sara coiled her wing tightly around him. &ldquo;That&#039;s it, Shhh it&#039;ll be ok. How did you even do this to yourself?&rdquo;<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;What just happened?&rdquo; Gina asked approaching the pair.<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Well, there is a reason mortals aren&#039;t meant to play with teleportation magic. Let alone with a extra-sensory damaged devil as the battery.&rdquo; Sara started as she continued to cradle and work on Vito. &ldquo;You guys fell out of time, I caught you a week ago. I only just managed to wrangle you guys back in. If I wasn&#039;t here you guys would have gone no less than an eon forward in time.&rdquo;<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Gina looked a little floored, and a little ways away Muffin let out another sickened retch. &ldquo;That&#039;s... but how I&#039;ve used this spell many times, it&#039;s never gone wrong... aside from making the beast kin sick.&rdquo; Gina said as she pointed back toward muffin.<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;You&#039;ve never used a critically wounded devils mana either.&rdquo; Sara started as she started massaging his temples. &ldquo;Vito&#039;s mana is far more potent than yours, and he&#039;s insanely wounded. I swear I&#039;ve never seen a human mind not only try to unlock but try to use omnipresence. Do you know how much information that is? There is no mortal brain that can handle that kind of information flow; I&#039;m honestly surprised his brain isn&#039;t melting out of his ears.&rdquo;<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;That&#039;s when Sara heard something, Vito was muttering under his breath to himself. &ldquo;four hundred eighty six thousand five hundred and fifty one, Four hundred eighty six thousand five hundred fifty two...&rdquo; Vito kept a rapid fire pace muttering the chain of numbers as he counted something. His eyes where blank he didn&#039;t respond to anything. He just kept muttering the chain of numbers. That&#039;s when Sara noticed.<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Oh my god,&rdquo; Sara started truly amazed, &ldquo;He&#039;s counting the molecules of oxygen in the air.&rdquo; She paused for a moment knowing her healing wasn&#039;t truly amounting to much. &ldquo;Anthony! He needs help. I can&#039;t keep up.&rdquo;<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Very well.&rdquo; Anthony said suddenly appearing before him.<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;He appeared before the two of them for a moment, was the first time Gina had seen him, but his voice was familiar. &ldquo;Hey wait you were that light.&rdquo;<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Yes, I was a light, about a week and a half ago.&rdquo; Anthony stated matter of factually. &ldquo;And I wasn&#039;t able to introduce myself, My name is Anthony.&rdquo; He reached down to his belt and unlatched his tome. He started leafing through the pages, till he stopped and poked Vito in the forehead. He stopped counting only to groan. &ldquo;hypersensitivity, extra-sensory damage. Nope that spell won&#039;t work.&rdquo; Anthony went back to leafing through the pages as the others gathered around. Jessica was about to try healing him herself, but Anthony quickly stopped her. &ldquo;Your heart is in the right place darling, but this wound is beyond you. Do nothing or you&#039;ll make it worse.&rdquo;<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Her hands retreated giving a quick nod. That&#039;s when someone stood over Anthony&#039;s shoulder. He was wearing the same blue pants and dark blue hoodie; he pushed his glasses back up higher on his nose till he said. &ldquo;No not that one, would make his senses go haywire.&rdquo;<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;I see,&rdquo; Anthony started flicking to another page. &ldquo;His senses are already melting, let&#039;s try to avoid any unneeded stress.&rdquo;<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;No go on that one either, it would make his skin crawl right now.&rdquo; The man said as he continued to hover over Anthony&#039;s shoulder though now he had somehow gotten his hands on a doughnut and was eating it.<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;I see,&rdquo; Anthony muttered. &ldquo;What about this one?&rdquo;<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Nope eyes would melt, ugh scary.&rdquo; the stranger responded.<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;And this one?&rdquo; Anthony asked in turn.<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;No dice,&rdquo; the stranger said shrugging his shoulders &ldquo;that one would do way more harm than good.&rdquo;<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;This is frustrating,&rdquo; Anthony said as he pinched the bridge of his nose<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Ey lighten up,&rdquo; The stranger said patting Anthony&#039;s back. &ldquo;It&#039;s a unique wound, even that huger of a bull of ours has never had to heal this kind of damage; and he&rsquo;s one of the most powerful healers in your book.&rdquo;<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Sara kept cradling Vito who continued to get worse. &ldquo;Guys can we pick up the pace? Don&#039;t want to rush you but now he&#039;s counting the particles that make up my body.&rdquo;<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Anthony leafed through a few more pages till he asked, &ldquo;What about this one? Seems to be one of the most powerful healing spells in the book.&rdquo;<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The stranger looked into the book for a moment, blank as it seemed. &ldquo;Yeah, that one should work wonders, let er rip.&rdquo; He said as he took another bite of his doughnut.<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;But the stranger was gone without a trace. Anthony accessed the spell. His wings started shining and his halo went bright. Suddenly he was all Vito could feel that alone was strangely comforting. Anthony quickly replaced Sara and pulled Vito to his shoulder. &ldquo;Divine Intervention, Within the Heart of Kindness.&rdquo; Sara was baffled. She knew that spell... it was one of her brothers. He chanted a little more and suddenly everything else was gone. Was just Vito and Anthony sitting together. No sound at all. The others had vanished and all there was was a white nothingness void. An aura then crept over Vito albeit slowly. It pulsed and changed colors many times. After moments of absolute silence Vito finally gasped. He panted raggedly for a few moments until he was finally able to control his eyes. He slowly panned up to Anthony&#039;s face. &ldquo;Shh, it&#039;ll be ok. I&#039;ve got you.&rdquo;<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Where are we?&rdquo; Vito asked as he eyes finally managed to look away from him.<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;A white void.&rdquo; Anthony responded obviously. &ldquo;Seeing as what was killing you was how much information you were taking in, this will allow you to heal. Guess that&#039;s why he suggested it&rdquo;<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;I&#039;m not.... going to say.... thank you.&rdquo; Vito said weakly letting himself go limp against him again.<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Well that&#039;s ok, I wouldn&#039;t ask you too.&rdquo; Anthony said with a smile. He pulled Vito back to his shoulder then said, &ldquo;Just close your eyes and let yourself drift.&rdquo; Anthony held his right arm up, he had on Thanos&#039;s gauntlet. &ldquo;Sadly there is no snapping our fingers to make this one go away.&rdquo; He snapped for effect but as quick as it came it was gone, so to was the gauntlet. He cradled Vito with his wings comforting him. &ldquo;Go on, close your eyes, we need to heal all your senses.&rdquo; Vito nodded his eyes did feel heavy. &ldquo;It&#039;s going to be a slow process, so get comfortable.&rdquo; Before he had even finished Vito was asleep. &ldquo;Now then how do we keep this from happening again?&rdquo; Anthony puzzled. Well he had all the time to try and figure it out. &ldquo;Wait, if his mind is the weak link then.&rdquo; Anthony held out his left hand suddenly a brain was before him. &ldquo;If a normal human brain can&#039;t process all this information, then all we have to do is make his evolve.&rdquo; Anthony rubbed chin a little with his left hand. &ldquo;Wait I seem to recall something about a triple cortex. Could it really be as easy as that?&rdquo; Anthony held his hand out, the brain before him phased a few times. &ldquo;Oh bother, this is going to take time.&rdquo; Anthony went silent as he went to his project. After a long time of silence something changed, finally. The project before Anthony had changed. The single brain was now part of a greater whole. The bottom left and right sides of the brain bubbled a little till from it grew two identical brains attached to make a far greater whole. &ldquo;There we go, the so called next step in human evolution. This triple cortex brain should be strong enough to process omnipresence, I&#039;ll have to remember to do my own. Well then now that I finally know how to make it.&rdquo; He held his fingers to Vito&#039;s forehead then pressed firmly. And again all was silent. The aura around Vito continued to glow changing colors from time to time. Then after yet another stretch of time Vito finally came to again. He let out a groan.<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Morning.&rdquo; Vito said softly.<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Morning indeed.&rdquo; Anthony said with a smile. &ldquo;How do you feel?&rdquo;<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Better.&rdquo; Vito stated flatly. He held up his hand and flexed his fingers till he was then able to make his flesh as a whole move. A wave of movement rippled up his arm to his shoulder. From there the visible ripple of flesh waved across his chest and went to all the rest of his body. &ldquo;AHHHHHHHHH&rdquo; Vito just about moaned as he had managed to pop every joint in his body at once in his tidal wave of flesh movement.<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;That was gross,&rdquo; Anthony said having felt Vito&#039;s skin actually crawl, &ldquo;Never do it again&rdquo;<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;How long have we been in here?&rdquo; Vito asked finally able to carry himself.<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;I lost count some time ago, but I was busy.&rdquo; Anthony told him. &ldquo;I believe we&#039;ve been sitting here for just about ten years.&rdquo;<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Seriously?&rdquo; Vito asked in shock.<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;I told you there was no snapping this one away.&rdquo; Anthony told him, &ldquo;though fate seems is on our side, the bubble we&#039;re in exist outside of time. We sat here for ten years outside it&#039;s about lunch time I believe.&rdquo;<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Vito looked at his hands, he could control his focus, he had an almost unreal ability to zoom in seeing his flesh up close. All his senses were sharper far beyond just superhuman. Colors were brighter sharper. He could easily see for miles. And the most important part he could finally make sense of the stream of nonsense he had been dealing with. He could feel outside the bubble. He could see Muffin&#039;s face as she paced back and forth. Jessica was sitting down with her brother, they were eating sandwiches; he could tell exactly what they were made out of too. Could smell the fish fillets, the tomato added to them with a kind of tartar sauce. it was so close to him he could taste them. Somehow Vito knew Jessica had made them. Inside his bedroom Chara was being glomped by Frisk who was being clingy and cuddly. &ldquo;This is weird.&rdquo; Vito stated his eyes unblinking as he felt just short of everything around them. &ldquo;What did you do?&rdquo;<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Exactly what I set out to do.&rdquo; Anthony told him bluntly. &ldquo;I fixed you.&rdquo; At that he showed Vito his prototype mind. Three brains that looked like they had been fused together into a whole.<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Wait a triple cortex?&rdquo; Vito asked shocked then feeling his head. &ldquo;That was just theoretical nonsense we read about online.&rdquo;<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Are you working now?&rdquo; Anthony asked poking him a few times.<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Well yeah,&rdquo; Vito stated &ldquo;I feel great.&rdquo; He said as he clenched his fist.<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Then shut up and don&#039;t question it. Seriously going to try and make me explain how your head works now? The hell&#039;s wrong with you?&rdquo; Anthony scolded him softly. The bubble like void around them faded. They were in the same spot as when they sat down. Anthony gave Vito a pat before he got up, with a soft grunt though. He then went through an elaborate and well thought out set of stretches, and motions to pop his joints and just stretch in general. He gave a soft sigh once he had popped just about every joint in his body.<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;What was that about dork?&rdquo; Vito asked noting how limp his wings had just gone.<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;What?&rdquo; Anthony said with a soft laugh. &ldquo;I was looking forward to that. I did just sit still in the same spot for ten and some change years.&rdquo; Vito&#039;s face at that moment was just about priceless. With a smirk Anthony then said, &ldquo;Yes, you&#039;re welcome. And here comes the welcoming committee, Vito mercy...&rdquo;<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Vito looked over as everyone that was there hurried over. Muffin was the first to get to them just about throwing herself at Vito; He saw it coming and easily caught her. &ldquo;Master!&rdquo; She shouted, starting to purr as Vito cradled her.<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Welcome back Vito, Anthony.&rdquo; Jessica said after the tackle cuddle, her voice sounded so refreshing it genuinely felt strange to him.<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Afternoon darling.&rdquo; Anthony said with a warm tone.<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Vito,&rdquo; Jessica then couldn&#039;t resist rushing over to hug him. &ldquo;Are you ok? I was so worried.&rdquo;<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Yeah,&rdquo; Vito started patting Anthony on the back with the hand not holding a cat. &ldquo;Thanks to chibi feathers here.&rdquo;<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Don&#039;t you dare start calling me that.&rdquo; Anthony said with an aggravated scowl. &ldquo;Anywho, I&#039;m starving, ten years is a long time to survive on mana alone.&rdquo;<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;I made sandwiches.&rdquo; Jessica said with a warm tone. &ldquo;Would you like one?&rdquo;<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Yes I&#039;d love one,&rdquo; Anthony replied giving her a smile. &ldquo;Thank you darling.&rdquo;<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Vito would you like one too?&rdquo; Jessica asked giving him a smile too<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Sure would.&rdquo; Vito answered back till he went on to say with a smirk. &ldquo;Though I think I&#039;d enjoy you more.&rdquo;<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Perv.&rdquo; Chara called out as she walked outside.<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Yeah yeah, you love it and you know it.&rdquo; Vito said with a teasing tone waving her over. She looked away for a moment till with a frustrated growl she walked over and sat down next to him. <br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Chara growled at him a little more until she decided to cuddle into him. &quot;Jerk...&quot; Vito tussled her hair, it brought a smile to her face.<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Hi master.&rdquo; Frisk then called out. She had followed Chara out but opted to remain quiet to see just how cute her sister had gotten.<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Vito glanced at her a few times then said, &ldquo;Oh so you&#039;re why Anthony woke up so soon.&rdquo; Vito reached over and pat her head, till he called out. &ldquo;Sara, you do know how many rules you&#039;re breaking right? The Storyteller himself might get a little angry. I mean that battle I had to go through with your brother to spring her was crazy.&rdquo;<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Yeah...&rdquo; Sara said with a pause. She quickly averted her eyes till she said. &ldquo;I also remember you dying a lot... I didn&#039;t want to watch that again. You skipped a few chapters and the world didn&#039;t end... why couldn&#039;t I?&rdquo;<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Aw that&#039;s sweet.&rdquo; Anthony said as he rubbed her ears. &ldquo;That was very kind of you dear.&rdquo;<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;And very convenient.&rdquo; Chara said as Frisk glomped her again. &ldquo;Seeing as no one else here could heal me... well say for Vito.&rdquo; Despite the glomping Chara did her best to nuzzle him.<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Well,&rdquo; Vito said reaching over to rub Frisk&#039;s head. &ldquo;Glad to have you onboard... again.&rdquo; Vito sighed saying after a moment. &ldquo;This time without the mortal combat to the death with the god of hope, who started throwing realities at me.&rdquo;<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Same deal right?&rdquo; Frisk asked as she too shifted to cuddle.<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;I don&#039;t see why not,&rdquo; Vito said with a smile. &ldquo;I actually need it, you want it plus that extra mana can come in handy.&rdquo; Vito looked down at her till in an inner monologue <em>&#039;The cardinal sin of lust, code named Frisk. We struck a deal in which in exchange for her freedom; and being the biggest enabler of her sexual appetites. She would allow me to make more out of sex with her then just feeling good. Turns out she can consume sexual fluids and use it to generate a very surprising amount of mana, in which she would give to me. Needless to say seeing as I&#039;m a demonic fire hose in that category, this deal works out very well for me. Plus she doesn&#039;t tire where all the other girls have their limits. I&#039;m a little ashamed to admit I let Wroth hurt herself trying to care for my needs. In the beginning I went after lust just to take the strain off of the others it was a strange meeting, regardless of the war I had to fight to get her.&#039;</em><br /><br />&hellip;<br />&hellip;.<br />&hellip;..<br /><br /><span class='underline'>hey it worked, ok then showtime</span><br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp; <span class='underline'><em>~In an alternate timeline~</em></span><br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;<span class='underline'>&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Ahem&rdquo; The stranger cleared his throat. &ldquo;I&#039;m not suppose to show you guys this, buuuut I don&#039;t think a little peek behind the curtain will hurt anythin. After a long and drawn out battle with Alex that i sadly can&#039;t show you; said fox lead Vito to where Sara, on his orders, kept the Sins locked away. This is Vito&#039;s first meeting with the Sin of Lust, and in fact the first time he and Alex were alone.&rdquo;</span><br /><br />&hellip;<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Alex&#039;s foot falls where heavy on a stone floor followed closely by the sound of Vito&#039;s boots. &ldquo;So why do you guys have to lock them away like this?&rdquo; Vito asked as he followed Alex; the hallway they were walking down was nondescript.<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Do you even know what they are?&rdquo; Alex asked glancing slightly over his shoulder.<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;You mean besides living infinity stones?&rdquo; Vito fired back flatly.<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;So you are aware of them then.&rdquo; Alex said in turn.<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;So what did they do to warrant this?&rdquo; Vito asked as he looked around. The place was dark, not cold more like the lack of warmth. It was gloomy and depressing and obviously no one came here, even Sara rarely came. Vito wasn&#039;t sure who could stay sane here.<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Well they did lead to the destruction of my forebears.&rdquo; Alex answered. &ldquo;Though I hid them away because I&#039;m rather partial to the mortals in existence existing. Need I bring up Thanos would you really have me leave the cardinal sins somewhere anyone could just get them. YOU, had to go through me, to get here.&rdquo;<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Ok, Got me there.&rdquo; Vito said with a sigh. They were silent until Alex lead Vito past one door, somehow Vito knew the wording on the door read Wroth. &ldquo;So how did Wroth get away?&rdquo;<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;You have to ask?&rdquo; Alex replied &ldquo;The Storyteller took it. Before I could even say that I objected to it poof both it and him gone.&rdquo;<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Damn,&rdquo; Vito said with a snicker, &ldquo;Must be frustrating having someone above you for a change huh.&rdquo;<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Hush!&rdquo; Alex snapped<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Oh my,&rdquo; Vito smirked &ldquo;Struck a nerve?&rdquo;<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Hardly,&rdquo; Alex said as he continued down the path &ldquo;I&#039;m above things like that.&rdquo;<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Bullshit.&rdquo; Vito said in turn. &ldquo;You might be a god now, but you had to be mortal once.&rdquo; At that Vito paused and poked his own head a few times. &ldquo;That sister of yours is still mortal after all. Even if she&#039;s abusing her control over time to prevent aging.&rdquo; Vito had finished his statement with a very sarcastic tone.<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Here we are,&rdquo; Alex said as he turned to a door. &ldquo;Though I must say, this is my first time coming here.&rdquo;<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Why&#039;s that warden?&rdquo; Vito asked watching the fox dig into his cloak.<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;I am the Light of Hope you fool.&rdquo; Alex said as he finally got what he was looking for a ring of rune etched keys. &ldquo;And they are Shadows. I enter the same room as them they die, end of story. Believe it or not it was a choice made for mercy.&rdquo;<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Yay.&rdquo; Vito said as sarcastically as he could. &ldquo;Please mister nightlight, lock me away in some dark hole so you won&#039;t melt me, or so that I don&#039;t get misused.&rdquo;<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Why do you have such a problem with me?&rdquo; Alex asked as he held the key to the door.<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Let me answer your question with some of my own,&rdquo; Vito said back. &ldquo;Where were you when Thanos decided he was going to snap half of his universe out of existence, hum? Where were you when that white haired fucker tortured Tia HUH? Where were you when the king of Vampires turned poor Anna into a fuck toy? HUH?!&rdquo; Vito shouted as his emotions got the better of him. He grabbed Alex up by his collar and pulled him close &ldquo;I have power! I can save people! I HAVE SAVED PEOPLE! You are a fucking god why do you do nothing?&rdquo;<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Alex looked Vito in the eyes who was able to calm under his gaze. He let Alex go then went about calming down &ldquo;Feel better to get that off your chest?&rdquo;Alex asked<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Yeah,&rdquo; Vito said, &ldquo;A little bit I guess.&rdquo;<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Well, its not by choice I&#039;ll give you that.&rdquo; Alex answered and Vito could tell he was telling the truth, in fact there was a sadness to the way he said it. He held out a key to Vito then said. &ldquo;Here, as I mentioned before, I can&#039;t enter the room or it will die.&rdquo;<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;I&#039;ve got a better idea.&rdquo; Vito said snatching the key ring, though he could tell Alex let him. &ldquo;Let me take them all. I&#039;m the only bastard in creation who&#039;d be stupid enough not to use them.&rdquo;<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;And why do you care? They don&#039;t have emotions, they can&#039;t feel lonely or sad, if that&#039;s what you&#039;re worried about.&rdquo; Alex asked as he retrieved the keys.<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Guess it&#039;d be...&rdquo; Vito started but paused with a deep sigh. &ldquo;It would have to be because I know whats its like to spend your life in a cell... though I called mine my room.&rdquo;<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;I see.&rdquo; Alex said as he gave Vito&#039;s shoulder. &ldquo;I have to say no, not because its flat out no. But because, well, and I say this because I know you&#039;ll understand; there is a reason Sonic and his little friends gather their kin one by one. Or do you not want your head to stay where it is? Do you know how much power we&#039;re talking about here? Maybe one day I&rsquo;ll trust you that far. But the next Thanos will be on your head.&rdquo;<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Ah,&rdquo; Vito said with a nod. <br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Alex once more offered the correct key. &quot;Baby steps, while you can, remember?&quot; <br />&nbsp;&nbsp; Vito took it, then quickly opened the door, the lock even sounded heavy as he turned it over. Vito quickly entered the room and Alex closed it behind him.<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;A guest?&rdquo; A voice called out. &ldquo;That&#039;s new, may I ask your name?&rdquo;<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Vito.&rdquo; He said. &ldquo;You&#039;re lust correct?&rdquo;<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;That I am.&rdquo; Lust called back. &ldquo;So what brings you here Vito? The fox wouldn&#039;t just let you in without a fight or reason.&rdquo;<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;I want to offer you a deal.&rdquo; Vito said watching as the shadow finally coalesced before him, eve he could barely see her. &ldquo;As a devil I have a bottomless need for sex, and I don&#039;t want to keep hurting those I care for.&rdquo;<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Aw that&#039;s sweet.&rdquo; Lust cooed as she floated over to him. But the second she touched him, she went quiet. &ldquo;I... wow. I&#039;ll be the first to admit, my sin is a bad one. I know it brings all kinds of pain to the victims of sexual assaults and those who are falsely accused. But I&#039;ve never caused someone physical pain.&rdquo;<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;And it can kill me.&rdquo; Vito said as he watched what passed for her face twist. &ldquo;The irony, I was told I died, and as a virgin. Now lack of sex is fatal. It literally can&#039;t mean any more to me then that, tragic ain&#039;t it. I mean still feels good, but without it I die, end of story.&rdquo;<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;So you want to take me from this place...&rdquo; Lust started her tone putting on a serious x to doubt, &ldquo;And the Hopeful One will just let you?&rdquo;<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Well,&rdquo; Vito said scratching his neck a little, &ldquo;I did have to fight him for it, pretty sure he killed me a few times.&rdquo;<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Well, I do feel a bit guilty, and that alone is a present change.&rdquo; Lust said as she floated around him a little more. &ldquo;And I do feel Wroth&#039;s aura on you, wow you actually tamed Wroth. I&#039;m impressed. Ok here&#039;s the deal, you give me freedom. I&#039;ll give you power. Deal?&rdquo;<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Power huh how so?&rdquo; Vito asked caressing the sins face.<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Well,&rdquo; Lust started. &ldquo;and forgive me if it sounds pervy. But I can use those sexual fluids of yours to generate mana and a good deal of it, well depending on quality. So <em>master</em> deal?&rdquo; at that Lust offered a hand.<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Deal.&rdquo; Vito said as he shook her hand. &ldquo;And I already have the perfect body for you, can&#039;t help wanting a matching set.&quot; After a moment Lust found &#039;herself&#039; surprisingly solid and very much naked. &ldquo;There you go, Frisk. Now light can&#039;t melt you anymore... well unless it&#039;s actively trying. Sara keeps trying with Wroth who keeps antagonizing her, had to spank them a few times.&rdquo;<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Frisk?&rdquo; Said girl asked looking at her body. Looking at the hair in her face. She touched her body a few times, she had never been solid. She slid her fingers over her new sex and felt the tingles.<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;It&#039;s the name of that Character.&rdquo; Vito said patting her head. &ldquo;Wroth&#039;s a twin like character to you named Chara. You&rsquo;re what&#039;s known as gender fluid.&quot; He watched as Frisk figured it out and changed her body to be male. As he switched back Vito continued on with, &ldquo;Oh one sec.&rdquo; Vito reached into a bag on his belt then went on with, &ldquo;There we go. I prepared this in advance.&rdquo; He handed her a shirt similar to Chara&#039;s only blue and purple striped. She quickly put it on then flinched when he walked toward the door.<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;This isn&#039;t a joke right?&rdquo; Frisk asked grabbing onto his hand. &ldquo;You&#039;re actually going to get me out of here?&rdquo;<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Uh yeah,&rdquo; Vito asked picking her up &ldquo;Why do you ask?&rdquo;<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Well, People kind of hate us right?&rdquo; Frisk asked. &ldquo;It&#039;s why the fox locked us up isn&#039;t it? Don&#039;t you hate us? Don&#039;t you Hate me?&rdquo;<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;No, I don&#039;t hate you.&rdquo; Vito said till he rubbed her head. &ldquo;and He seems more the worrywart type. He was afraid people would misuse you and your siblings. I&#039;ve seen what people can do with things similar to you, so I can understand his paranoia. Kind of glad he&#039;s got you under lock and key.&rdquo;<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Are you going to misuse me?&rdquo; Frisk asked in a suggestive tone.<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Nah.&rdquo; Vito said with a laugh. &ldquo;I don&#039;t think I&#039;d need to anyway.&rdquo; Vito pushed the door open but Frisk jumped when she saw Alex on the other side.<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Relax.&rdquo; Alex said taking the key from Vito. &ldquo;So long as you behave you need not fear me. Misbehave and I won&#039;t think twice though.&rdquo;<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Ok.&rdquo; Frisk said still covering in Vito&#039;s arms. &ldquo;So you&#039;re the light of hope huh?&rdquo;<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;I am.&rdquo; Alex said with a smirk. &ldquo;Vito... how do you make them solid like that?&rdquo;<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;You don&#039;t know how??&rdquo; Vito asked confused.<br /><br />..<br />&hellip;<br />&hellip;.<br /><br /><span class='underline'>was an interesting meeting huh?? Well let&#039;s see if I can find the plot again...</span><br /><br /><span class='underline'>OH here we go you&#039;ll like this</span><br /><br /><span class='underline'>*Ahem*<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Lets see here, sorry folks still getting use to this...</span><br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The group had eaten their lunch, while at that Muffin had a few reports come in. She had run off after Vito asked her to check in on them. Anthony was inside Vito&#039;s tent house. Jacob had been called away to take care of things going on with Vito&#039;s troops. Vito himself was currently pawing at Jessica. Jessica had taken a seat in his lap. He himself had his nose in her neck, enjoying the pleasant aroma he discovered she had; his newly reforged senses where now truly beyond superhuman. He nipped at her neck his hands pawing and rubbing her midsection; a time or two pressing into and rubbing her breast. &ldquo;Master please,&rdquo; Jessica said with baited breath giggle. &ldquo;That tickles.&rdquo; Vito was acting like he had found a new toy and was loving it. Everything about her made him tingle. Her aura massaged his, her scent was delicious. Touching her skin made him tingle, her very voice got him hard. &ldquo;Va, Vito... what&#039;s gotten into you?&rdquo; Jessica said softly as he buried his face in her neck again. He had gotten hard she could feel it pressing against her. In truth Vito was taking his new senses for a spin, he could feel her body flinch at his touch. When he touch something tender it was though her whole being recoiled. Her aura would change and pulse at his touch. Finally he dipped one of his hands into her underwear. His fingers traced her opening a few times till he firmly rubbed her clit. She let out a surprised eep at his touch.<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;It&#039;s just came to me that I do a shit job of returning the favor.&rdquo; Vito said as he continued teasing her button. &ldquo;You girls never once asked me for anything, and all I do is take take take. And you girls like the sweethearts you all are just keep giving.&rdquo; He finally inserted a finger Jessica let out a loud moan as Vito cradled her further. &ldquo;So let me push your buttons for a bit.&rdquo;<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;You say that.&rdquo; Jessica cooed moaning a little. &ldquo;But you also say that like being with you isn&#039;t pleasant.&rdquo;<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Can&#039;t be that good...&rdquo; Vito paused till he looked at her scratching his nose a bit. &ldquo;Is it?&rdquo;<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;I&#039;m not the only one who enjoys it.&rdquo; Jessica said with a smile. She pointed to Chara who was trying her best not to look jealous. &ldquo;Chara actually missed you a lot.&rdquo;<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;I see,&rdquo; Vito said through a smile, &ldquo;Guess I&#039;ll just have to make it up to her.&rdquo;<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Jessica smiled then told him. &ldquo;I&#039;m sure she&#039;d like that.&rdquo; But as Vito went toward making a move to start pulling her out of her clothes; it was like a projector reel was clipped, complete with the sound of the projector reel rolling with the film spinning around.<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span class='underline'>uh... oops!
