Ash nodded then started running towards a a few men, who were trying to get a few wounded people over to Echo. She called over a few of her beasts to help her pick them up. To large ones that looked like giant dogs came up and laid on their stomachs. Ash told them to put the wounded on the dogs and then show the beasts where to set them down. The men nodded and did as they were instructed.

Echo walked up to one of the men. "Where's dawn? I need to speak with her." he said. The man shook his head. "Proffesor Dawn is Dead. She was killed by Stray fire when the attack started....Sorry sir.....If you want, you can search her room, we pretty much cleared out the blood and body's. "he said. "The laptop looks intact too. "He said.

After Ash had gotten quite a few wounded people into the building, with the help of her beasts, she glanced around the battle field. It seemed that either all the wounded were already in the building, or they were being brought inside. She whistled, a few of her beasts running to aid those who needed help bringing back the wounded. Now that that was taken care of, Ash decided she needed to go see Echo. She glanced around, searching for the male. As she walked around the building, being careful not to step or trip over anyone, who was having their wounds tended too, Ash started to feel sad. There were so many people who were injured or on the verge of death. She felt worse when she started to see a few spirits stand over their lifeless bodies. She hadn't noticed any spirits before, though, she wasn't looking for them or paying any attention. The girl walked over to a broken window and glanced outside. The battle was raging on. Many were killed on both side. The field was covered with blood and bodies.

Ash wanted to close her eyes, but forced herself not to. She could see quite a few spirits, who were not hers, roaming around the battle field. It made Ash's heart break seeing how confused and sad they were. She looked away, not wanting to see anymore. She needed to find Echo. Now. Ash's form started to fade out a bit as she turned into her spirit form. She was visible to everyone, but she could walk right through them. 'I should have done this earlier...', she thought as she walked through the crowd of people. A few freaked out as she passed right through them, others ignored her. Once Ash caught sight of Echo, she ran after him. She stopped and smiled sadly to the male, but it soon faded when she heard what the other man said; Dawn had passed. Ash's shoulders slacked and she looked down at the ground. Now she was never going to know exactly what Dawn had found. Though, a bit of hope started to build up when she heard the lady's laptop was still around. "Please, show it too us!", she said, her voice filled with excitement and a hint of urgency.

He shows you to a room. You see a small laptop on a desk. i get on it, and turn it on. "okay......"I start scanning threw dawns notes. When I stumble across osmthing. "Ash.....she was right...."he turned the laptop towards her. It revealed Data about her lineage, tracing her family tree all the way down to her. 'Ashley Heartfilia'. you also see the personal history, and notice the fact that it mentions that it stores knowledge, so that the next generation may learn. You also see records of the Finances and Documents be taken out by a 'Mr.Cage'

Ash stared at the screen in disbelief. Cage...he...he couldn't have. This had to be a lie. This couldn't have been right! this stupid computer couldn't have been right! But...if it was right, then...then Cage had stolen everything form her. She didn't have a penny to her name anymore. No. Cage wouldn't have done such a thing. He was a decent man. The person who stole everything from her was a fraud. Still, a part of her thought this might have been true. Ash didn't know what to think or who to trust now. Echo and this Dawn...they had to be lying to her. They just had to of been.

Tears rolled down Ash's cheeks as she took a few steps and shook her head. "I...it's not true. YOU'RE LYING!", she screamed. Ash ran out of the room, running to where the wounded were. As she ran to the middle of the room, a white portal opened up. Ash jumped inside of it, the portal disappearing in a white flash as she ran through. The portal led to a small part of the spirit world, which was full of portals that constantly opened and closed. Each of the portals were like worm holes; they started one place, then transported you to a whole 'nother part of the world. Ash could sense where the portal she needed was. She stopped suddenly then took a sharp turn. Then, she jumped through a black portal that led right to the front yard of her mansion. She panted as she ran to the front door, then walked right through it after she turned into her spirit form. She ran through the house, her spirits looking up at her as she ran up the stairs. "Cage! Come here!", she yelled out

Echo printed every last document out, and tried to fallow ash. He narrowly missed the portal, and then went to jump in his car. He speed across the high-way, ignoring the law's of speed, trying to get to you in time. "One girl Died today, I won't let another one die on my watch! "he swore to himself

Cage opened his eyes as he heard his name being called by a female's voice. He got out of his bed and went to the door. He opened the door, only to find Ash, who was staring up at him with eyes filled with tears. She darted into Cage's room then stopped in the middle, breathing heavily and sweating. "Cage...I need to ask you something...", she said. Cage gave the girl a puzzled look. He wasn't sure what exactly Ash wanted to ask, but obviously it was important. His eyes went to the door, wondering if Echo has something to do with Ash's sudden need to ask questions. He looked back at the girl, then took a step towards at her. Ash took a step back, shying away from his approach. "What's wrong? What do you need to ask me, child?", he asked. He started advancing towards her, but stopped when she screamed for him to stay away. "Don't come near me, thief!" Ash yelled, before her eyes widened and she covered her mouth. Cage's pupils turned into slits and his blue eyes began to glow. Did she know? Did that bastard Echo find out? He had to know what Ash was talking about. He prayed she hadn't figured anything out.

"I-I'm sorry...I...I'm just confused and I don't know what to believe! Cage...Echo and one of his friends told me that this mansion, and everything in it, was mine...and they said that you stole it from me and that my name is Ashly Heartfilia and...and that my family left all this behind for me--", Ash was interrupted when she felt a shooting pain come from her left shoulder. Her eyes widened as she slowly looked down at her shoulder, noticing a blade stabbed through it. She fell down into her knees and let out a scream. The room was bending and twisting around her and Cage looked like a monster. His hair was floating around him and his form was blacked out. He was walking towards her, his eyes huge and red and grin as big as ever. Ash screamed again, shrinking away from the figure.

Though in the real world, that wasn't inside of the illusion Cage had cast on Ash, she was standing up. Her eyes were glazed over and pupil-less. The room was fine and Cage looked normal. Though, he was walking towards her. He put his hand on the girl's chin, pushing it up. His hand glowed as he branded Ash with his control mark. It's blue essence glowed brightly as it's mind-control powers to sink in. Cage snapped his fingers, breaking the illusion he cast on Ash. The girl's eyes went back to normal and she could think, but everything was influenced by Cage's will. "Ash, I had to cast that illusion on you so I could break Echo's control over you. He brain washed you and filled your mind with lies. I would never steal anything from you. You of all people should know that.", he said, kneeling down to the girl and hugging her. Ash closed her eyes and leaned her head on Cage's shoulder. She sobbed, "I-I knew you hadn't...I can't believe I believe him...I'm sorry, Cage.". A grin spread across Cage's face. Now all he needed to do was get rid of Echo and everything could go back to normal. Ash was back under his control, so he could use her to help kill Echo. "Ash, we need to get rid of Echo. He's a bad man who's out to take you away from me. He wants to kill me then use your powers for his own needs. I need your help with this. Do you understand?", he said, releasing Ash and looking into her eyes. The mark on her neck glowed, Ash's eyes turning Blue like the seal. "Yes...get rid of Echo.", she said and Cage smiled. "Good girl."

Echo stopped inside the house, Starring at it. He felt the Power Surge from it, and shook his head. "Should've figured....wonder what he did....Doesn't matter, I need to make sure she's okay....."he said, then reached into his pocket. He pulled out the deck of Monster Card's. "Alright. Whoever is going to challenge me, Bring it! "he siad.

(You did it wrong, dummy. I'll reply in a bit. I got some new clothes and just got back from the store. I r tireeeddd/lazzyyyy)

momochan: NOW GOD DAMNIT D<

(BE PATIENT. I have a headache. //shotshotshot
Before I reply, when you said 'he stopped inside the house. he felt a power surge from it', did you mean outside, or is he actually inside of the house?)

(outside. NOW POST!)

(Okay~ o 3o)

Nothing stirred outside as Echo called out for his attackers. The night was fairly silent, the only thing that could be heard was grass hoppers chirping and Cicadas singing. A few eyes popped open in the shadows, but they just stared at Echo then either closed their eyes or stared at him. After a few minutes, the front door opened up and a small female stepped out. She walked off of the porch and stared at Echo. Her mark wasn't visible and her eyes were back to normal, though they didn't seem as full of life as they did before. She was sent out to take care of Echo, so that's what she was planning on doing. Ash was deluded into thinking that Echo was the evil one who was using her and that he needed to die. Though she did care a little about Echo, she still wanted to get rid of him. She trusted him to easily, thinking he was a good guy. Ash now knew better than to trust someone pretty much immediately after she meets and talks to them for a little while.

Ash's hands were engulfed in dark orbs and her yes changed into a blood red color. "Echo, you're terrible. Why would you want to lie to me? What use am I to you? What exactly do you want? What is your goal? Where did you come from? Why are you after me? Answer me!", Ash demanded. She felt betrayed, hurt, sad, a little frustrated, and confused. Why did he make up all that crap about her family and that this mansion(and everything side of it) was hers? She wanted to know all of this before she killed him.

Echo looked at her, and shooked his head. He started walking forward. "I came from an Old-family.....like you....However, before i joined fusion Corp, I was a Mercenary.....I killed people, for fun, for money, for The company of women,..........I sure as hell enjoyed it to. "He said, putting a hand over his eye, and smiling, despite himself. "Then I did somthing that ended it all.....I was supposed to kill a Family living in a Mansion, about....oh, 2 years back?..... After they were all dead, I decided to look at a couple of their books in their library...."He reached in his knapsack behind him, and threw a book in front of her. 'Family of Engimanitus.' "Engima, for short.........I had finally learned my past, and in doing so, i had killed what was left of them......"he said.

He finally looked back at Ash "I joined fusion corp so I could prevent this from happening to someone else.....Ashley....Do you really think that you could live with yourself, if these 'soul's were those of your family, and that Cage was twisting them right in front of you? "he said. "is that the sort of life you want to live?"

(You ping me waaay too much.
and don't write "blah blah,.................". Just write three or four dots when you have a pause, or have them not talk. I'm telling you this because using an excessive amount of certain characters can get you in trouble. c: )

"Don't fill my head with lies! Family? No, they're dead. The spirits I make are from bad energy! They have nothing to do with my family! You may have murdered your family, but I haven't.zCage hasn't done anything wrong! He gave me a home and feeds me! You filled my head with ridiculous lies and you've tried to make me believe Cage was evil! You're the evil one!", Ash screamed. Her eyes turned blood red as her beasts came pouring out of the woods. The surrounded both of them, keeping Echo from leaving. All of them had their eyes on the young male, waiting for him to try and attack. "Once you're out of the way, me and Cage can live happily and we can bring Stan back to life. You can try and fight me, or you can hand him over and we might let you go. Either way, we're getting him no matter what. You said a spirit needs a body to live in in order to revive them, so we'll use yours.", she said as she turned into her spirit form. She raised her hands, getting ready for Echo to attack or give up.

Enigma looked up at her, and then his head fell. You could see tear's fall to the ground. "If that's how you really feel, then you are truely lost......Im sorry......Im so sorry it has to be this way. "He siad, then raised his head, his eye's full of a dark fire. "You want to bring stan back, right cage YOU MOTHER FUCKER!!!!???......then....then il deny you your happiness....."He said, and summoned Stan's spirit. He then put his hand on stan's head, and started converging the stan's spirit. You watch him scream and yell.
