Masahiro, The World Despites You.

[Felix Falora]

Masahiro sighed as he returned to the group's current lodgings, a frown on his face. "So what do I tell them?" he asked the unconscious Felix. He then walked inside.

"Masahiro... oh no," Trevor said, seeing the unconscious Felix.

"What happened?" King asked.

Lucy frowned. "Something seems wrong here," she said.

"My friends... we've finally reached our worst threat yet," Masahiro said. "We've encountered an evil greater then anything we've fought. More embarassing still, it's Aku."

"We're going to lose to Aku?" Trevor asked, pulling up a glass of tea. "Please. That sorry villain is nothing to..."

"Trevor, put the cup down for what I am about to tell you may cause you to break it dramatically," Masahiro said. Trevor scowled and put it down, not getting his sip of tea.

"What's the big deal? Can't Felix and Double D deal with it?" King asked.

"The thing is... Aku transformed Double D with his powers... into the opposite of what he was," Masahiro said.

Lucy's eyes widened. Trevor and King didn't get it at first. "If he was pure and caring, then to make him the opposite would be... a monster."

Masahiro sighed and took out a device. "I had this with me during out trip there. It caught what Double D now looks like," he said. He put it down and a hologram of Evil Edd showed.

"UGH! WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT THING?!" was Trevor's proper response.

[nintendonut1]

"WHOA!!" Eddy nearly fell back. "Wh...wha...what the hell...!?"

"D...Double D...!" Ed gasped, eyeing the creature intently. "He looks... angry... but hurting. Tormented."

"That goes without saying..." Fletcher breathed. "My GOD...!"

[Felix Falora]

"Double D... You've gotta be shitting me man," Trevor said, shocked.

"What kind of monster...?" King gasped.

"Whoever did this to the nice man that helped me?" Lucy said. "... Damn them... Damn them!"

Masahiro frowned. He had expected such reactions as he showed them what had become of Double D. Before he could get a proper word out, however, he felt his air supply get caught off as Felix, who had woken up and was still glowing with apocalyptic power, grabbed Masahiro by the throat.

"You son of a bitch... how dare you stop me?![/b]"

"FELIX!" Trevor yelled.

"Not again," King said with a sigh.

Masahiro refused to respond. Even if he had air with which to respond, he could not deny that the pain the angel was going through had to be one-hundred times worse then any pain he had gone through before.

"You let the one who transformed Edward into that creature escape! How dare you do such a thing?!"

"It'd be a waste of time. Not even you can kill him, only..."

"WATCH ME KILL HIM!" Felix responded with a yell. King and Trevor walked out of the way before the yell almost knowingly as Masahiro was blasted out of the house. "I don't care what it takes. I will have Aku's head! And I will turn Edward back to normal!"

"You aren't even willing to research the problem," Masahiro said with a sigh. "Violence isn't the answer to everything, Felix. We can't just attack Aku and expect to get anywhere."

[Firebreath Fishslap]

Kyle had walked into the home after Masahiro, having been kept from running off by Mr. Copycat, who followed him into the room. Kyle hadn't said a word since he came in. It didn't look like he was going to be saying anything any time soon. He looked pretty well broken, really.

Mr. Copycat had stayed silent also, until Felix started arguing with Masahiro. He suddenly tapped his cane very loudly on the floor.

"Felix, stop it. I can understand what you're feeling, but taking it out on Masahiro isn't helping!" Mr. Copycat said.

[nintendonut1]

"Aku did that?" Ed frowned. "Aww... Masahiro's right, Felix. Only Jack's sword can destroy Aku!"

No one even asked how he knew. Fletcher went on and accepted the fact. "There, you see? Would you rather kill yourself in a fruitless battle than try to research and enlist in some aid to bring back and restore Eddward?"

[Felix Falora]

"Jack's sword?! Damn these worlds and their impertunant laws! Then I shall just have to get this sword then and..."

"Hah!" Masahiro said. It was almost mockingly, but he was about to hold truth in his words. "As you are, a selfish, miserable angel who only cares about gaining revenge, the sword would not even accept you. If you want revenge so badly, why don't you calm down and...!"

"SHUT THE FUCK UP!" Felix yelled. Power coursing through him, his mind was not right. Even if the other tried to course logic and knowledge through to him, he was fanatically upset and unable to comprehend it. "GET OUT! IF YOU'RE SO SMART, WHY DON'T YOU GO GET DOUBLE D BACK THEN?! YOU'VE BEEN NOTHING BUT WORTHLESS AND DESTRUCTIVE EVER SINCE YOU LOST YOUR POWERS! YOU'RE NOTHING HERE, SO GO!

Trevor and King gawked at Felix's insults. Considering how the angel had suffered over the loss of much of his powers, despairing on how he would be able to protect Marion and Perceval, that had to hurt a lot. But, instead of retorting, crying, or anything of the sort, Masahiro seemed to remain emotionless for a moment before he offered a small smirk.

(Music for the moment

Reason: It seems to fit in my mind. Not to mention Patchouli's the one Masahiro speaks of to go visit.)

"Ok. As you command," he said. He then looked at Fletcher. "Look, I'll be gone for quite a while. However, I made a promise to Perceval that I would never leave him again. I'll never put him in danger, but for the remainder of time I spend trying to find a cure for Double D, I'm afraid I'll have to 'hold him hostage,' as it were. Please understand that. I'm not going to make my lover cry... ever again." With that, Masahiro turned and walked out of the house. "Oh, Trevor," he said.

"Eh? What's up?" Trevor asked.

"If Felix gets some sense back, beat some more of it into him. After all of this is through, I think we're going to need to do some psychological tests on him. I know he's suffered a lot of traumas in his life, but this is too much. We need to make sure he's not utterly unstable." Masahiro chuckled slightly as he said this. "With that being said, I'm off. I'll pick Perceval up from the hospital and head over to a friend's. With her help, we may find a cure to save Double D." And, with those being his final words, Masahiro took off into the sky and flew towards the hospital.

"Well... seems Masahiro's got a plan," Trevor said.

"At least he's intelligent enough to make one," King agreed, glaring at Felix.

[nintendonut1]

"...very well," Fletcher sighed. If there was anyone he trusted to take care of Percevel, it was Masahiro.

"...w-wait, I'm with the guy with the glasses on this one," Raz spoke up, Marion trembling and whimpering in his arms. "What the heck's going on!?"

"Daddy...Daddy..he...he's...!"

[Felix Falora]

"Don't worry Marion dear. Uncle Masahiro's gonna save your daddy. And Uncle Trevor is gonna kick your mommy's..."

"Trevor!" King and Lucy groaned.

"What? I was going to say buttocks," Trevor said, trying to defend himself.

Felix just seemed sort of beaten there. He hadn't expected the other angel to act so smug, much less take everything into his own hands. He had expected some sort of breakdown or sign of anger. Perhaps it was because Masahiro had managed to mature while he had not really, even after all his years of life.

Meanwhile, in the hospital, the nurse told Perceval that he would be free to when someone would come to pick him up. It had started to rain and it would certainly feel like a long time, but at the flash of lightning, a cliched entrance indeed, Masahiro appeared at the windowsil, the window having been open. "Hello Percy," he said softly, coming inside the room and closing the window softly.

[nintendonut1]

(I'll continue on the house once Gantz posts. As for the hosiptal...)

"..M...Masi?" Percy sat up, smiling. He had yet to hear of the events that had transpired earlier, so he smiled innocently. "Hello! Are you here to pick me up and take me home?"

[Felix Falora]

"No," Masahiro said. "More like I'm 'kidnapping you against your will and taking you with me.' Actually, a lot has just happened and I'll explain later, but for now, let's just say the flock, flock being Felix and the insane voices in his head, kicked me out, so in order to keep my promise of being with you through thick and thin, Fletcher gave me permission to take you with me. So for now, I'm asking if you'll escort me to my friend's, but it's rather only out of politeness as I dare not leave you alone here, so even if you say no, you're coming with me."

[nintendonut1]

Percy's smile quickly faded. Something... something must have happened. Something terrible.

"I... I would never say no," Percy shook his head as he climbed out of bed, taking his hands. "Not to you. Not ever." A pause. "...but Double D will still be guarding us from afar, right? As usual?"

[Felix Falora]

Masahiro sighed at that. "Perceval, many tears will be shed on the way over to my friend's, but I have a lot to explain, so..." He pointed to his shoulders. "Hop on and we'll take flight."

[nintendonut1]

Here, Percy's heart already began to plummet. Something didn't happen to his Guardian Angel... did it? Why, just this morning when he came to visit, he seemed so happy to see him well...

"..o...okay..." Gulping in anticipation of sadness, Percy climbed onto Masahiro's back.

[Felix Falora]

With a nod, Masahiro spread his wings and took flight back into the air, taking Perceval with him. He would tell him all about it on the way there.
