29 Where there's smoke, there's fire

Issac and Barret were exiting the office, to gather the others for the mission debriefing. Barret looks to Issac , "Are you feeling any better? I know you'd rather be laying down at the moment, but it was good we got them the information."

Issac pockets his hands, looking to his feet slightly. He glances hesitantly to Barret, before looking off. "Sleep deprivation and overtime at work... yeah, I'm just fantastic... (Everything is going wrong right now...)" Issac replied sarcastically.

Barret looked to Issac, seriously. "Hmm, I know I said I wouldn't ask again, but just -"

"I KNEW IT! YOU ARE COMING ONTO HER!" Shockz's voice bellowed from further down the hallway. Shockz was standing in the hall, looking to Bit with enraged eyes. He was sparking up a slightly from his rage.

Bit looked lazily to Shockz with a smirk. "Oh? Is that why you're going crater? I'm sorry, I didn't detect there was any form of attract mode occurring." Bit shrugs with a sly grin. "My bad."

"Your bad? YOU KNEW EXACTLY WHAT YOU WERE DOING!" Shockz states, beginning to steam from anger.

Bit looked to Shockz playfully, leaning forward slightly. "Did I? I don't even know who you're talking about. Not like I'd unlock an achievement for something like that." Bit winked.

Shockz reaches for Bit's neck, growling furiously, his hands pulsing with electricity. "WE'LL SEE IF YOU REMEMBER NOW!"

"Now hang on there Shockz." Barret states, cautioning him.

Shockz tumbles a little, catching his footing at the sound of Barret's voice. He turns to Barret, forming a distasteful stare. "This doesn't involve you." Shockz states coldly.

"I know, but we're all allies here." Barret says, crossing his arms.

Issac looked off, groaning. "... (I don't want to deal with this... All this drama is just adding to the reasons I want to kill myself right now...)"

Bit stood there, looking to Barret. His tail was swishing around. "I didn't see you camping there. What's up?"

"Oh? Hello Bit, just making sure you guys aren't hurting each other." Barret states, adding in a chuckle.

"YOU COMPLETELY DIDN'T SEE HIM JUST TALK TO ME THERE!? I swear you're made after a game, but your data is broken." Shockz says, looking away from them.

Bit's attention turned to Shockz, his expression hadn't changed from his sly smirk. "My attention was on you, sometimes I don't notice things outside of the P.M."

Shockz grumbles,"What are you getting at now? Do you swing or something? You're creeping me out."

Bit had warped in front of Shockz, looking to him with a mischievous expression. "Is that what you want? Are you making the pull, because you want me loot your goods." Bit snickered.

Shockz fumbles backward onto his butt. He was shaken, and sparking around. "You ass! You're messed up! I-I'm done here!" Shockz says, standing up.

"Awe QQ, but I'm not done trolling you yet." Bit teased, playfully. He put his arms behind his head, grinning to Shockz.

"Wait, trolling? You sunnava!" Shockz says, as electricity coursed around his body.

"Uhhh...." Barret says forming sweat from his cheek.

".... (Oh boy... It NEVER ends..)" Issac gawked.

"This is so much more fun than trolling online. You're reactions are priceless." Bit snickered, swishing his tail.

Shockz raises his hand sparking with electricity. "I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOUR REACTION TO THIS!!!"

As he cast out the electrical dama, it was suddenly absorbed from behind. Katinka was standing on the opposite end of the hallway to Barret and Issac's positioning, right behind Shockz.

"Shockz! Just what on Terraldyn are you doing?" Katinka scolded, with a scornful gaze.

"Uh! K-Katinka!? Heh, knew it was you...Only you would put the ENTIRE name of the planet in context like that...Well and absorb my dama." Shockz says muttering.

She crossed her arms, "Why are you picking fights with-" Katinka glanced to Bit, blushing slightly. "-Bit?..."

Bit smirked slyly,between the two in amusement, swishing his tail. "Five hundred EXP, Level up."

"DO YOU REALLY HAVE TO ASK ME THAT!?" Shockz demands, looking to Bit, "I mean he stole my clothes, and now he's trying to ...Urgh never mind. What are you doing here anyway?" Shockz looked back to Katinka.

Issac and Barret were left to watch.

Katinka had a quirked brow. "I heard your blabbering mouth, shouting like a two year old." She sighed, looking to Bit. She blushed again slightly. "I'm sorry if this idiot did anything to you, Bit..."

"That's it, I'm out, if you need me I'll be drowning my anger in the stream nearby." Shockz says, walking off to a nearby exit.

"(I hate eavesdropping like this, but... That sounds like something I would say...)" Issac scratched his head,

"Hey moron, get your fanny back here! You sound like a complete idiot right now!" Katinka grabbed his ear.

"Ouch,ouch! Hey, I wasn't being serious!" Shockz says, pulling away from Katinka, "Sides, shouldn't you be hounding 'him' about things? He's just about the only one you care about." Shockz scoffs, crossing his arms.

Barret shakes his head cracking a smile. "(I think I see what's going on here...)" He glances at Issac. "(But that statement reminds me of Issac. I wonder what's troubling him?)"

Katinka grabbed Shockz's collar, pulling him to eye contact with her sharp glare. "Shut up, you stupid idiot!" She was obliviously embarrassed by the situation. "You can't just go around saying things like that..."

"Oh? Why is that?" Shockz asked to Katinka, bluntly.

She gritted her teeth, angrily speaking behind them. "You-You just DON'T DO THAT... Stupid!... He can hear you..." Her eyes trailed back, noticing Cravic approaching from the other end of the hallway.

He looked to everyone, with his usual expression. "Why is everyone in the hall right now?" He asked skeptically.

Bit phased in front of him, bouncing slightly with his tail swishing happily. "Hey Cravy. We were just playing a game." He said, with moe eyes.

"Game?" Cravic looked to Bit with a raised brow.

Katinka's eyes narrowed, looking back to Shockz. "......" She was gripping tighter to his shirt collar. Her hands were nearly shaking from seeing how Bit greeted Cravic.

"Katinka? Why are you so...angry?" Shockz asks, to Katinka.

Her breathing was more heavy at this point, "He's ignoring me...." Her glare shot to Cravic. "For... him."

"Oh..." Shockz says, noticing Cravic's presence finally.

Katinka's hand was starting to spark where she held his shirt. "..........." Her eyes gave the impression of shooting daggers at Cravic.

"Okay guys! Everyone, LISTEN UP! We have important matters to attend to back in Xiao's office. We're all required to participate." Barret instructed.

Shockz moans, "Really? Urgh okay, (Just what I need. Dad's lucky he's not here right now. I want to go back to Vectrom.)" Shockz thought to himself.

Katinka lets go of Shockz's collar. "... Fine..." She said, heading for the office.

Shockz looks over to Bit, sticking out his tongue. He then makes his way after Katinka quickly. Bit returns the action, swishing his tail.

Barret shakes his head once again. Cravic looks seriously to Barret and Issac. "So, assuming more Zodiac related conversations. You better get the others if She wants everyone present for this." Cravic starts heading for the office. "Haru, coming?"

Bit looks up, smirking. "You know it." He stated, heading after Cravic.

"Haru? Didn't he call Bit that once before?" Issac finally spoke up, glancing back as the two had made their way down the hall after Katinka and Shockz.

"Maybe that is a nickname or something?" Barret inquired to Issac.

"I... don't know." Issac seemed perplexed.

"Well, let's go get the others." Barret says, walking ahead of Issac.

"...." Issac sighed, following after Barret. "(Just my luck...)"

Coming from a nearby room of the chamber, Asuna was leading Zihark by the hand, giggling. "Let's go somewhere 'special', alright Zeke?" She said. Issac and Barret hadn't noticed them, as Asuna walks face first into Barret's shoulder. She stumbled slightly. "Ow..."

"A-Asuna! S-s-s-sorry again!" Barret says, surprised at the sight of Asuna.

Zihark looks sharply at Barret. "Did you injure my Ducky?" He asked to Barret in a very stern manner.

Issac glanced over, in surprise. "(... Is Barret not over her?.. What a liar.)"

Asuna held her head, slight tears in the corners of her eyes. She squinted looking up to Barret and Issac. "Oh... it's just tiny Tim, and gloomy Gus."

"Tiny is about to become more tiny." Zihark states, keeping his stare at Barret.

"Whoa! I'm sorry! I didn't see her there, honest! (Also, must she really bring out that term at such a time like this? I'd rather forget that entire incident..Why must my manhood be so insulted?)" Barret thought to himself, as he was trying to keep Zihark calm.

Asuna grabbed Zihark's sleeve, "Zeke, it's alright. No need to worry. Oh! So, what do you Nancy boys think of my Boo-boo's new outfit. Doesn't he look handsome?" She smiled, showing Zihark's new threads off to the others.

"Oh yes! He looks wonderful!" Barret states, trying to keep on Zihark's good side.

"Sure..." Issac looked off.

Zihark looks to Issac cunningly, "Just 'sure'?" He inquired.

Issac glanced to Zihark, hesitantly. "... (I'm really not in the mood for this...)"

"Speak up now. I don't want Ducky's feelings hurt." Zihark urged to Issac.

Issac shuttered, "Asuna, chill out your battery operated boyfriend..."

"Excuse me?" Asuna was taken by surprise.

"...." Issac looked off, uneasily.

"Hey Debbie downer, no need to be such a prima Donna! For Pete sake, what is your damage? Jeez Louise." Asuna gawked, in annoyance.

Zihark steps ahead, grabbing Issac by his collar. "No worries, I'll take care of this."

Issac looked to Zihark, having a gaze without much response. "Go on, do it. I dare you." Issac spoke shakily.

Barret jumps frantically, "Asuna! Call him off! Issac didn't mean it!"

Asuna puffed out her cheek. "He's being a meanie weenie."

"Affirmative, orders Ducky?" Zihark inquired, gripping Issac tighter by his collar.

Barret was shaking his head, "No! Stop! Issac, Asuna! Call him off!"

Before Asuna could give any orders to cease the attack, Issac was tackled out of Zihark's grasp to the floor. Tumbling briefly before landing with Cynder over him. She was hovering over Issac now, looking back to Zihark and Asuna. "If your boyfriend hurt my toy, I'd light you on fire." She threatened.

"................................" Issac was sweating in panic, he was unable to get out from under Cynder. "(Uheheh..... Oh jit... Somebody shoot me!)"

"(Phew, that was close...) I know things got a little heavy there, but Asuna, there is a meeting we are all to attend right now. Xiao has instructed us to locate everyone, so that they could report in." Barret explained, cautiously.

Asuna looked to Barret, "I see. We were about to go on a 'special' date, but if you insist, tiny Tim. Come on Boo-boo. We don't want you to get in trouble now, be a good boy, okay?" She led Zihark ahead.

"Anything for you, Ducky." Zihark says, turning his attention from Issac.

The two made their way down the halls, leaving the others alone. Issac was growing frantic beneath Cynder. "(Why does things KEEP HAPPENING TO ME?!)"

Barret turned to Cynder. "Heh, most times I'd be annoyed, but I'm glad you showed up." Barret stated, out loud. "Why do you keep calling Issac you're toy though?"

Cynder looked up, she was partially sitting on Issac's crotch region. "I can't call him, my toy?"

"......." Issac was quivering. "(I can't...take this...)Barret... Get... her.. off of... me..." Issac gritted his teeth.

"Alright,alright. Cynder get off Issac, we have to gather the others for a meeting." Barret states, walking over to the two of them.

"Meeting, smeeting. You can't make me." Cynder retorted.

"Cynder!" Myde's voice interjected, as she had turned the hall. "How many time do I have to tell you? Leave him alone."

Cynder rolled her eyes, "Nope. He's mine."

"Stop being a brat, and get off." Myde insisted, standing beside Barret now.

"Nu-uh. I claimed him." Cynder clang to Issac, who was obviously freaked out. "The deed is done, he's mine. So deal." Cynder grinned.

"What are you going on about?" Myde inquired, in annoyance.

Cynder turned around to face them, letting her butt remain in place the entire motion. She smirked, "Well if you, really wanna know." Cynder shifted her butt slightly, keeping her attention to them. "Earlier, I joined him in the bath. He was already pretty excited, so, I made him put his big cock-"

"CYNDER!!!!" Myde gawked, in complete embarrassment.

Barret's mouth drops, "I-I...." His eyes pan to Issac, then back to Cynder. "(Did it really get that far?)" Barret holds his head.

Myde was holding her face, in utter disgust and embarrassment. "...."

Cynder grinned, "No need to be embarrassed Myde, everyone gets horny. You don't need get red in the face. I'm the one who fucked him."

"PLEASE JUST GET HER OFF OF ME!!!" Issac cried out, flustered.

"CYNDER! GET OFF OF ISSAC! NOW!" Barret yelled to her, "We're wasting enough time, but this..Urgh...WHY ARE YOU STILL SITTING THERE!?"

Cynder covered Issac's mouth, licking her lips. "Maybe I'm feeling a bit frisky. Not like anything is going on anyway." She glanced to Issac, whose mouth was covered by her hand. He was clearly upset, some fear, some anger. "Come on Blue, why are you fighting back now?" Her eyes glimmered, "You seemed pretty into before."

Issac yelled through the covered palm over his lips, "YOU RAPED ME YOU PSYCHO FUR BALL!!!"

Cynder looked slyly to Issac, "Can't **** the willing.~" She sing-songed.

Barret looks to Myde. "Let's get her off of him." He states, annoyed about the situation.

"I have to agree." Myde stated, in response.

Barret and Myde went to pry Cynder off Issac, but she fought back. Her foot shoved back into Barret's face, as she tried to bite at Myde. "I said, he's mine!"

"Urgh!" Barret states falling back. He places a hand to his face growling, "If you kick me one more time!" He said becoming frustrated.

"Cynder Flickerpaw!! Quite acting like a bratty kitten!!" Myde hissed, flaring her teeth.

"Then stop acting like a jealous bitch, who hasn't had a big rock hard cock shoved up her vag!" Cynder retorted.

Myde was horrified by the response, unable to process words, and her face was redder than a fresh apple. Her eyebrow was twitching, and fist quivering. "...."

"Yeah, I know Cecil never had the chance to grind your corn." Cynder jested.

Barret looks in Myde's direction noticing how frustrated she was becoming. He then looks back to Cynder, and steps over to her. Barret grabs Cynder by her coat tail, tugging her backwards. Cynder latched onto Issac, tighter, letting her butt stick up in the air. She looked back to Barret hissing, as she went to kick him.

"GET OFF OF HIM!" Barret demanded.

"BITE ME!!" Cynder growled, flaring her teeth.

Myde was still immobilized, and hadn't noticed Kirbon and Dylan approach. The two boys drew closer, Kirb tilting his head as he stared in confusion. "And I thought things got heated earlier." He teased.

Dylan observed too, but walked up behind Myde, and sniffed her butt. "Oh hello Myde, you smell lovely today."

Myde panicked, covering her butt as she slapped Dylan. "..."

Dylan stared in confusion. "What did I do?"

Barret flies back, holding his genitals, accidentally falling back on top of Myde, who's back was facing him. The two landed on the ground, in a suggestive pose. Myde was even more red in the face, and frozen in panic. Her tail was fluffed up, and ears erect. "Urgh..." Barret grunted, he was unable to say much more, however the scent of Myde filled his nose, and blood trickled down from it.

"BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!!" Cynder laughed uncontrollably, as she fell off Issac, holding her stomach. "Ohhhhahahaha!! That's not how you make kittens, dorks! Pfftahahahaha! You do it with your clothes off!!" Cynder's eyes were tearing up, she was laughing so hard.

Issac scrambled from her grasp, getting to a distance, he was breathing heavy. ".... (This cat is really getting under my skin... I can't handle her...)"

Kirb held his chin, "I have to agree with Cyndy on this, she's got a point."

"Hey bro, get off!" Dylan growled at Barret, chewing at Barret's leg, with his tail fluffed.

Barret finally snaps to, and notices his position, he also feels the sharp pain rolling through his calf. "Gaaaah!!!!!!" He yells jumping off Myde, and pulling his leg from Dylan's fangs.

Dylan sat there, in a squatting position, growling, with his tail flicking. Myde was still in shock, holding herself off the ground, while Cynder rolled on the floor laughing still.

"Urgh...My gosh...(Now I need to lay down....)" Barret says to himself, looking back to Myde. He then turns his attention to Issac, noticing he was away from Cynder. "(At least Issac's free... As for Cynder, we'll have to figure something out...)" He thought to himself, trying to pull his mind off the pain he was enduring, from both the bite and the kick to his manhood.

"(....And why not death rather than living torment? ....)" Issac sweated anxiously.

Kirb glanced to Dylan, "Yoh, Tiger. When you sit like that, it look like you're using the bathroom."

"It does? Oh! It does! HAHAHA!" Dylan cracked up laughing.

"It's good we're all here I guess, urgh we need to go see Xiao...Now." Barret says still fighting the pain.

"Wah... I don't wanna..." Cynder pouted.

Dylan's ears perked up. "Oooh-ooh! Can I come-Can I come!?"

"I think Blondie meant it for everyone, Tiger." Kirb replied.

Myde got to her feet, blushing. "..."

"Waaiiiit! Why isn't Myde slapping the human like she slapped me!? Slap him Myde! He tried to molest you!" Dylan complained.

"...." Myde didn't reply.

Barret looks to Myde quietly unable to really say too much. He sighs , "Myde, I hope you're okay...Sorry about that. That kick took me by surprise..."

Myde's ears went back, glancing his way. "It was Cynder's fault, not your's. You needn't concern yourself... I'm just a bit stunned is all..." She replied.

Dylan crossed his arms, puffing out his cheeks. He decided to shown his displeasure, by farting loudly. He started snickering, holding his mouth. "Guys guess what... Teehee, I farted."

Cynder started cracking up hysterically, "Oh man Dally!! Hahahaahaahah! That's hilarious pfthhaha!"

"(A crazy rapist, feline, with terrible sense of humor... Jit man. Why did she have to get that far...)" Issac hung his head a bit, his eyes fixated on his wrist.

Barret looks to Dylan with a lazy expression crossing his face. "We should head to Xiao..."
