A day had passed since Rico was conscripted into the army. Sadly after Kit left the naval hospital came under attack from spys deeply rooted in the ranks. Rico was killed by the very weapons Kit and Atakai had been selling to all sides. Truly she was the merchent of death as the media had named.
Her step father Vinnie was talking to Kit but said nothing about she had no one to blame but herself about Rico. Honestly had Kit not been kin he would have arrested her for illegal arms dealing.
But for now he had a job to take Kits mind off things. "I need you to go to a secret military research facility on the outskirts. They will be expecting you. There is a scientist there by the name of Mahari Conklin. He is the most brilliant mind alive today. A bit accentric.... but brilliant considering he is young."
Accentric.... Most brilliant people were. Just how accentric was yet to be seen. Vinnie continued to speak. "He will be needed soon. Proffesor Conklins safety is of top priority. I want him back in the capital sound of mind" He paused to look at Kit in a critisizing manner. "And unspoiled. I know you and your rare skill of finding trouble at every turn. Dont go charging into every fight that crosses your path. If anything, run. The good proffesor is not a warrior and we went through alot of trouble to get him safely where he is.
One of Vinnies chief of staff came in to wisper in his ear. Vinnie added as he left. "I'm sure you will get along with Mr Conklin. You two have alot to catch up on." Oh, so she met him before? The name should help. Mahari. A draca name meaning 'storm prince"
Ah yes, one of the young warrior soldiers she had trained when Kit went undercover in the draca nation. The young pup was terrible at everything she taught them. More a cluts then a warrior. The science books she snuck him seemed to have helped contribute a valuable mind to society.
When Vinnie said they had trouble getting him to where he was there was no kidding. A free thinking male? And a brilliant mind? Very dangerous for the female leaderships place of power. Vinnie probably saved the young man from execution.
No matter. The young scientist was where he was of most use. A couple of hours later when Kit arrived at the facility indeed they were ready to greet her. Guards escourted Kit into a dressing room where they left her to get dressed in a lab coat. Being guided down a white sterile hallway to a glass sliding door labeled 'Labs" the guards told her to enter the airlock.
When kit entered the small chamber a electronic voice chimed. "Please stand still for sterilization" Air hissed in as the chamber and thus kit was sterilized of contaminents. The door slid open and she was free to enter the lab.
Conklin was easy enough to find. He was alone typing at a computer. If that was not easy enough to figure out a ID was clipped to his white lab coat. Mahari turned around and looked Kit up and down. He had never seen Kit in her human form and did not recogize her.
"Are you my new assistant?" he asked. Before Kit could respond the young proffesor waved a hand of dismissal and went back to typing. "Whatever. just dont get in my way. I have important work to do that could save millions if not billions"
Well the young draca pup had a attitude. He picked up a coffee mug and swore in his peoples tounge as he spilled it on the floor. Well, it seemed he was still a clutz. Hearing kit laugh Mahari smiled. "I deserve that. I was never very graceful, not much of a fighter either. Probably why my people tryed to execute me
So the good proffesor was not so stiff knecked after all. Mostly now because he was done with work for a minute. Standing up he offered a hand. "Anyway its nice to have you here." The emperor is growing impatient with my stem cell reasearch" He grumbled and went back to typing on his computer. "The government made a fine mess of my human genome reasearch. I created the genome project to wipe out human disease. Birth defects. All medical illness. And what do they do? Turn around and use my work as a weapon to create super soldiers" He sighed. "Even my work on the atom was twisted into weapons. Nuclear power and splitting the atom was suppose to create a new clean, powerful and reliable form of energy that could power entire citys. No, they used it to creat the atom bomb and nuclear weapons"
"Even now the emperor pesters me to start using my knowledge of retro viruses (man made, Often used in vaccines but also for war). Mahari grumbled some scietific babble before finally making some sense. "I will not be a tool of war. I will not create biological weapons. My work is for the good of all mankind. Of all the races"
So this was why Kit was asked to get him. To force the young proffesor to make biological weapons and god knows what else.

Kit nearly sighed out loud. So gain she would be getting in trouble, doing what she was not supposed to do. She had, however, picked up a few things while the Doctor had been travelling with them.
Do you, perchance, have a spare battery lying around? A large one?
She slipped a key out of her pocket as he waved to where it was. She moved a few things aside, grabbed a few wires and set to work. Within minutes the key, a TARDIS key, was glowing.
Now, before you freak, I do believe you and my friend will get along well. His name's the Doctor, and we're going to get you away from the military.
She grinned a devilish grin and the TARDIS began to appear in front of her. As soon as it was solidly there, the key stopped glowing the the Doctor stuck his head out, entirely confused. Then he saw Kit.
Why if it isn't little Kit! Hey, Rothgar, your sister's the one who diverted our path! You've improved. Come here!
They hugged, for the Doctor had a thing for hugging, and then he turned to Mahari.
Now, who might you be? Red eyes, so I'm assuming you've got some draca blood, but I don't particularly care what you are.
Doctor, this is Mahari. We first met while I was undercover in the Amazon's city, training young draca. He's a scientist, but the military is doing what they always do. I want to get him away. My Stepfather won't like it, but he'll deal.

Mahari was mumbling to himself over his work as he shifted through a drawer and presented the battery. He watched Kit go to work. When the key started to glow Mahari being the young brilliant mind he was automatically developed a theory. "A resonance cascade device? You actually found a way to stabalize it? What are you attracting?"
Most curious minds would have been tempted to touch the key but Mahari was just a bit wiser then that. If only a little. At the accusation that he would freak out Mahari scowled. "Me? Dear you forget this is area 51 where the government keeps all its nasty secrets. We have weapons, alien ships not to mention alien remains wich I have performed autopsys on personally. Me freak out? Ppf, I think not. The very thought you think such is insulting"
True to his word Mahari did not freak out when the TARDIS appeared. Instead he eargerly started to circle the craft in examination. "Wow, just like the one we found here" Seeing the doctor Mahari took his hand then abruptly started examining him embarassingly enough. "A living specimen. How is it your race has two hearts? From my autopys of specimens 365 & 364 I learned the other heart seemed to have no practical use other then as a spare" He paused in that moment thinking he may have insulted the doctor. "Biologically speaking of course"
Imperial special forces Commandoes stormed into the room and quickly subdued everyone. Everyone except for Rothgar who put up a fight. Soldiers wearing blue berets came in and Mahari muttered to the Doctor. "The alite of the alite in sector 6.... crash site retrieval teams and first responders for alien contact"
The captain of the blue berets looked at Mahari and told one of his men. "Unshackle the good proffesor will you. The little runt wont be getting away" When Mahari was free he turned to watch as the technitions started to prepare the TARDIS for storage.
The captain wearing the blue beret came to stand over kit and took the cigar out his mouth speak. "The emperor knows you quite well we have been watching you all this time" Reaching into his pocket the SF operative pressed a holo recorder and Vinnies face came up.
"Forgive me for this niece but it was nessesary. I knew you would try to get MR conklin away somehow and I also know of your continues contact with an alien race. In order for them to come I needed you to call them. And that you have done well. We will meet soon in the capital and I expect your alien friends to help with the Delek problem that has surfaced.
Each person was forced up and escourted to the surface where a bird was waiting. Everyone accept for Ash who had to be pushed along in his wheel chair. Arriving back into the capital Everyone was split up to a respective holding cell. Mahari and Kit were taken together to the Royal hall where Vinnie came in.
Turning around he smiled warmly. "Did they rough you up? If so tell me they will be duely punished." Turning his attention to Mahari Vinnies smile disapeared. "You have no changed proffesor" Mahari of course was angry at all the emperor made him do and turned forms to attack the emperor.
Mahari was quite the runt. Very much like Kits brother when he use to be a draca. The emperor subdued mahari easy enough with a single pounce and patted his snout. "Thats the spirit we need in the coming days ahead. An invasion is coming and you will help with repelling it you little runt"

Kit glared at her stepfather and uncle.
Yeah, well, we already had a plan, thank you very much. Just because I didn't involve you in it doesn't mean anything, besides that I really don't trust you. Not with these matters.
Of course, with the Doctor's hands chained behind his back, they let him go. Not that he let that stop him. Within seconds, and a soft buzzing noise, his hands were free again. He loved that sonic screwdriver.
Well, now, the thing is, I would wilingly help you, if only you'd play nice. But you don't. STOP waving that gun around! Imbecile.
The Doctor grabbed it and threw it down to the floor.
I hate guns. You want to convince me to leave you the wrath of Daleks? You just did it. If it wasn't for people like Kit on this planet, I would be refusing to do anything. Now, where were we..? Ah, yes! Daleks. Hardly anything you can do. Hell, hardly anything I can do. They destroyed my planet after all. Worse than the Wraith. Creepy things, but they aren't made of metal. Much easier to kill. And stun, for that matter. Now, leave it to me and my friends, and let us go, or I won't be helping you. And trust me, you'll need my help.

While the doctor was busy getting loose Rothgar was working on his own means of escape by using a paper clip to unlock the cuffs. As soon as he was free Rothgar grabbed a guards arm and through him over his shoulder and effectivly taking his weapon. Of course Rothgar frowned at the doctors comment on guns.
Picking back up the weapon Rothgar pointed it at his uncle. "Oh how I want to put a bullet in your head. And why shouldent I?"
Vinnie igored Rothgar and looked at Kit. "Dont trust me? Of course you dont. You dident even trust your own father and he died alone wanting to see you one last time. Let me guess, You think I am a close minded fool who cares for himself? Think again, we are in this for the survival of everyone. For years I have been making friends with foreign alien races." He started to name off several wierd names for demonstration.
"If It wasent for my open arms policy our mutual friends the No'oga would not have sent us information on the nature of the delecks.
Vinnie was a firm believer if any from this world were to survive they would have to loose there phobia of other cultures. Whenever this threat was over he already had plans to build a fleet to start colonizing worlds and hopefully befriend more races.
Vinnie waved for the guards to let everyone go except Mahari. "Do want you want. From some information we got we know how to wipe out the attackers. The proffesor is that key. Take him to the labs"
Rothgar being the irration angry prick he was fired off the gun and shot Vinnie in the chest. It was not mortal, but it hurt like hell. "I dont like you and quite frankly I'm going to put a end to your rule right now" Rothgar started walking towards the emperor with all intent of shooting him in the head until Vinnies children ran in. All eight. "Dont hurt my daddy" One cryed.
Rothgar was not one to break to such things and pushed the little hatchlings aside with his foot still intent on the task. Since the incident in space years ago he was not the brother she remembered. In a sense he really did die.

Kit grabbed his shoulder.
This is not the time or place. The people need someone to blame if everything goes wrong. Why take that responsibility on your own shoulders?
She murmured softly, pulling him away. In a sense, she was the older one, in the manner that she thought much farther ahead than he often did.
And we'll save Mahari from them. We may have to.
She informed him mentally, blocking Vinnie, his soldiers and such. She glanced back over at Vinnie.
And we knew their intent. Knew they were coming before you did. Don't think that just because I don't have the resources you do that I'm a clueless, naive fool with no way of knowing anything of importance. And next time someone aims a gun at you, I will not stop them.
She growled, teeth flashing as fangs for a moment in anger at what he had done.
And if you would do this to me, rather than ask I call the Doctor, then I have good reason to doubt you. And you have always been this way. The people may love you, uncle, but I, your family, do not. And it should be family that matters most. You know nothing about why I was not here when my father died, so don't speak like you do.
She could feel Seth's spirit around the castle, and wasn't sure if he would approve. But she had a feeling he would. If she had known he was dying, she would have never left on that journey. If anyone, her father would know that.

Vinnie held over th chest wound and grimanced as she and the others left except for Mahari. When Sairi came in because of all the racket he explained what happened. "No, let her go. She is still angry over the death of Rico. Instead of blaming herself she has turned her hate to me. Very much like she did seth those years ago. A burden sadly I must bear." What bothered him was her alliance with Rothgar. He was mentally unsable and very prone to going insane. Being a powerful phsychic only made him all the more dangerous.
Mahari was yapping at the protest of weapons and only got a confused look from Vinnie. "Biological weapons? From whos order" Mahari laughed at what he thought a corny ruse by the emperor. "Yours" Vinnie frowned. "i gave no such order. Dont be stupid. Now you are against me too? After I gave you all the funding you could ever want for your stem cell research? Why in the hell would I want you to
If there was one thing the scientist was good at and that was telling if people were lying. He saw none in the emperors eyes. Someone was using the good leader. "the only weapon I want you to make is a computer virus" Mahari thought over this. "Uh, sure I guess I can do that" Willingly this time he went with some guards.
Vinnie went over to a window to watch Kit and the others. Seths ghost appeared next to him. "She has changed alot little brother. And none for the better. I fear my son Rothgar will convince her to take your life and worse.
Vinnie sighed. "And so she will walk down the path of darkness. A soul currupted only to find hope in her own salvation. It is Kits choice to make. Its the only real freedom anyone has anymore....
Rothgar still agitated and angry pushed Kit on the shoulder. "Why did you stop me? I should have splattered his brains all over the wall!" Ash pushed himself along in his wheel chair and looked at the doctor to make the hand gesture of crazy at his temple. Rothgar had been getting worse. First he lost his wife. After taking a second he lost her to. It was all it took to push him off the edge. Rothgar was neither good nor evil. He just wanted the world to burn and see everyone suffer as he has.

Because you can't stop yourself anymore.
Kit replied softly. She had spoken harsh, and she had hated Vinnie, yes, but what she had said about killing him... No, she wasn't that far gone. She wasn't sure she ever could be. She was going to kill Daleks, and even that made her scared. Before, in the NSA, it was different. That was a spur of the moment decision to kill or be killed. This would turn into that, yes, but right now... Right now, it was war. And she didn't liked it.
They returned to the Tardis, and everyone dispersed through the ship. When they were all out of sight, she wandered over to where Jack had said the heart of the Tardis was. Oh, they were going to kill her for doing this, she knew, but as Jack had said--It was the only way. The Doctor appeared just as she was steeling herself for whatever might happen when she opened the latch.
I can't stop it, if it begins to burn. It could burn away your life and body in instants, Kit. If you don't want to take that risk, you don't have to. But if you do, I'll be here to help you as much as I can.
Kit was definitely scared now, but she closed her eyes and laid her hands on the latch.
Someone has to. If what Jack says is true, what they are planning won't work. We need to get rid of them entirely, not just hope we get rid of them all. This is the only way. If I do die... Doctor, find Atakai, and tell him I said goodbye.
The Doctor nodded as a tear ran down her cheek, and he turned away as the golden light filled the control room. Even Timelords couldn't handle the raw energy of a time vortex. Jack had been an anomaly. He turned back as the light faded. But she wasn't the same as Rose, who's eyes had burned with the light, glowed like lights rather than eyes. No, Kit's irises had gone golden in color. And she could feel the power she had, and it startled her. But she'd been handling control for years, so control was almost easy for her.
Let's get this over with, before anything bad happens to me.
She replied, letting the powers wash over her and give her the confidence she'd need. It wanted to do more, so much more. But she held it back.

Rothgar was off in his room that nobody ever seemed to visit. He did not care at the moment what everyone else was doing. He was more intrested in how to cause chaos in a already chaotic world.
"Phf, If I suffer. I will make them all share in the pain." he mumbled
Vinnie was busy looking over a old photo album of the family. Him and Seth, Kit playing with him when she was young. Seths ghost once again appeared behind Vinnie without him knowing and spoke. "Regret is only for fools. You did all the right things" This spooked Vinnie and he grunted.
"I hate it when you do that"
"Go bother Sairi" Seth laughed. "Oh I think You know very well she wont tolerate my tom foolery. Besides. Your more fun to toy with" Vinnie grumbled again. "Joy... then go bother my son Niko"
Seths face changed drastically at that. "Um, You know I think I will pass. Your son is in his room" There was a pause and Vinnie said. "And?" Seth cocked his head. "With his boyfriend"
That was all it took for Vinnie to get to work. "Fruit of my loins my ass" That boy is no son of mine." Seth watched Vinnie go to his study and passed through the wall in suit. "So your not going to do anything about him" Vinnie was about to speak but seth cut him off. "Yeah, yeah, I know. Choice is the only freedom people have anymore. Did it ever occure to you that your family is falling apart because you give them to much choice? Freeom is good and all but you give people to much freedom. They see that as weakness and dont respect you for it. See now? Kit more then likely sees your kindness as weakness and does not respect you. Hell, she will probably try to take advantage of you soon"

Seth mused over the memory. "yes she was quite the little manipulater. Just like her mother. But I put after I realized it I put the reigns on the two mighty quick." It was Vinnies turn to muse over it. "Yes and Sairi did not like it that you would not let her do anything she pleased"
Seth laughed. "You remember the story of creation? Be careful how much freedom you give my ex wife little brother. Remember that women are the root of all evil. They were the first to sin and made things worse by tempting man"
Vinnie was tired of his idiot older brother. "I'm done with you. Piss off" Later that day Vinnie was talking with the 4 founding fathers of sector 6. "And when were you going to tell me of this secret weapons reasearch you were making Mahari do?" The members replied coldly enough. "You did not ask"
Vinnie scowled. "Right... and when were you going to tell me about this ship you built?" The council replied. "That we were going to tell you today. If that scientist you saved is true to his word the virus will destroy there ships shielding capabilty giving us a small window to attack"
The emperor was tired of all the secrets. His rule was founded on truth. His desision to make technology open to the public had pissed off sector 6 rather badly but they feared assasination because of how much he was loved by the people. After this conflict if the emperor made the knowledge of space travel and alien races public they would not hold back on striking him down.
"You have put billions of tax payers dollers into this. The ship better not fail." The leader of sector 6 smiled. "of course not.... not with you at the helm" They knew of the emperors love for the stars. He would not pass up the opportunity of stravel in space. Even if he did not trust them. And just as the fiends guessed. Vinnie accepted.
When the emperor left the council plotted. "The ship is strong enough only to take out one of the two ships right?" His comrade replied. "Of course. We are already making plans to disable his nieces ship leaving it dead in the water and vulurable to attack. The emperor will realize by this time the ships inablity to suvive another attack. But he loves he beloved niece. According the physchological profile of the empeor. He will most likely commite suicide by ramming his ship into the suviving deleck craft. He dies a hero, We are left to take control. And of course the timelords and kit remain alive thanks to her uncle. They will play into our plans"

There were voices, and music, and everything... All in her head. But it felt right. She could hear the gaurdian-draca war, and she could hear bit of the future, and she heard the the Daleks. Ever approaching. And her eyes widened.
They found a way to increase their speed. They're close, too close. It's too late to finish a virus, they won't finish it in time. We have to go, go now.
The Doctor began flipping switches.
Ash! We need to fly! The ships are here, come on! We've got to get within range so we can open those doors!
The Doctor threw up a recently added cloaking shield that would stop their presence from being detected from anyone, including the technology of Alalea. He'd made adjustments through the years it had been for him that he'd been missing from this planet. It may not have been as long for them, but that was the confusion of time.

Ash gave a thumbs up and pushed himself out of the wheelchair and into the pilot seat. "I'll see what I can do" He replied casually as if there was not a worry in the world.
"Hang onto your butts" Ash said and the ship kicked off.

(Blah, muse low today)
The sector 6 council met after the disapearance of the delecks. "Its that girl. Once again being a nuisance" The second of the four added. "This is only a temperary glitch. The emperor will die. We already found someone willing and the cogs for his demise have started to turn. There ship will be captured as well because of our contact" The third member of the four asked. "And what does he ask for a reward?" The first member replieid. "Nothing of course. That kind of man only wishes to see the world burn. There is no reason behind his madness"
Emperor Vinnie was in his human form and sitting in his office in the palace unaware of the deaths of his wife and eight children Niko escaped the massacre that day. The assasin came into his office and Vinnie smiled. "My favorite niece and daughter. Kit. What brings you" What appeared to be Kit pulled a pistol from behind her back and shot Vinnie in the forehead leaving a pretty nasty red blast effect on the wall.
The body of Kit shimmered from the disguise and the assasin left.
Back on the TARDIS everyone was sleeping and exhausted. Kit mostly from the stunt she pulled to rid the Deleks. It was Rothgars turn to pull guard and pilot the ship. The TARDIS shook as it landed. Rothgar opened the ramp door and the Sector 6 blue beret'ed crash retrieval team came storming the ship with military efficiency.
Everyone was braught into the main compartment of the TARDIS. All restrained except for Rothgar. The traitor. Ash swore at him colorfully. It did no good though as Rothgar broke Ashs kneck with his mind. "I never did like him. The guy has quite a mouth...."
Seeing his tired sister Rothgar gave a sinister smile."Nice of you to join us. You have a date with the firing squad for the death of the royal family" Rothgar pressed a button on his tool belt and his body shimmered with the disguise that looked like her. "You should have seen the betrayal in our unkles face as his most favorite niece shot him in the head
A sector 6 blue beret wispered in his ear and Rothgar removed the holographic disguise. "You have got to be kidding me. That man just wont die. I put a bullet in his head and he is still alive?" Rothgar pulled a pistol from his hip and cocked it to look at Kit and the doctor. "If you will excuse me I have to go visit the hospital. No mistakes this time. Two to the head and one to the chest"
He pushed a lock of hair away from Kits face and then gave her cheek a playful smack. "What you look so sad for? I'm doing you a favor. You never liked him anyway." Rothgar looked to the heavily armed soldiers. "Take them away" With that he started to walk down the ramp. His boots making heavy steps.
Rothgar talked to the hospital receoptionist and after learning where his uncle and step dad was went in the elevator to the fourth floor. There were guards of course to his hospital room entrance but Rothgar used his mental powers to mask his presence from them. Making him practicall invisible. Going into the room he saw his step dad lying in the bed hooked up to a life support machine.
"You always were a tough one uncle. They couldent kill you in the war and you still managed to cheat death when I shot you. But no more" Rothgar raised the pistol ready to end his uncles life once and for all finally giving sector 6 power. In return he only wanted to be left to do as he pleased. This of course worked with there plans. Rothgar becoming a super villain would keep chaos in the world. Chaos promoted fear. And the government used fear to keep control of the common people.
With the help of the good doctors beta brain wave technology the soldiers guarding them were rendered asleep. That just left Rothgar and whoever he worked for. Kit alone would not be able to defeat Rothgar. He was to powerful a physhic. Short of a god. Even with the immortal Jack the most they could hope for is making Rothgar flee. In the end he would just return.
Rothgar turned when Kit and Jack came in. "Well, decided to join the party sis? Since you never said goodbye to our biological father perhaps you would care to say goodbye to our new step dad? Well?" He asked and looked down to Vinnie who looked pethetic all hooked up to the machines.
"I dident think so? You always were the favorite one with him" With a bang he shot Vinnie in the head and the life support machines made the sound of a patient going deadline.
Unespecting it He was tackled and the two went out the window with a crash to the streets below. Rothgar tossed his pistol aside and said to kit. "I'm going to enjoy this" he shot out a hand and a building broke away to topple down on Kit. "Well, thats that" he turned to walk away and quicky turned around as the rubble blew away to reveal his sister.
Rothgar clapped his hands. The sky started to darken as a storm brewed. "Bravo, uniting with the TARDIS heart gave you powers. We are gods among ants. Why do you protect them? Why should we do anything other then what we please? "
All the innocent people running around in the emediate vicinty burst into flames as Rothgar used his mind to cause there midocondria the bodys powerhouse to release heat and energy all at once.
"You wanna dance? Lets go!" Chunks of debree from the fallen building swarmed around Rothgars body and he started to hurl chunks of them towards his sister who was all that stood in his way.
"You could not protect your uncle. You sure as hell cant defeat me. I will crush your spirit and take away everything that is dear from you. But I wont kill you. No! You will suffer as I have. Everyone will!

It was surprising, really, that Kit still managed to keep control of the time vortex inside her. Even Jack didn't control his. If he did, perhaps he would have already died. However, the power wasn't weakening, as time never weakens. It just goes on, despite the world around it. And Kit closed her eyes, and the world, for a moment, was tinged with golden strand of light, cascading around her, and flowing up to the room where Vinnie was.
But I can protect him. As Rose did to Jack, I bring life. The only question is, should I make him exactly like Jack, to be a thorn in your side, or should I still make him able to die? I suppose I could always reverse it later, and two immortals are better than one.
Her pupils were momentarily covered with gold, then appeared again as the job, so easy now, was finished. She could just as easily bring death, as time does, even to a Timelord, like Rothgar. Unfortunately, she didn't have the stomach for it, so she didn't believe she could end his life in an instant. That would be what would held her side back from winning--Her self doubt that was so often hidden beneath smiles and brave actions. It hid even now.
She disintegrated the block as they came flying at her, as if they hit some forcefield of unimaginable power. And it didn't even take the fling of a hand.
Tell me, Rothgar. Why shouldn't I protect them? The people around you, fleeing from here, have done nothing to you. Perhaps Sector 6 has. Perhaps the government as a whole has. But that leaves you no right to take it out on the innocent.
The light was glowing, ever brighter, ever harder to look at, as it localized around her body, like threads from a cocoon.
Their pain is my pain. The pain of war. If the war won't end, I'll be the one to shoulder the burden. I'll shoulder the karma of war along with the sorrow from the dead.
Her wings burst out, though they weren't the wings of a dragon. They were the wings of an angel. It was very fitting, to have the long, pure white feathers forming wings on her back, really, for although she wasn't perfectly pure, as no one truly is, she was, indeed, an angel at heart. Even by blood, in a way. The time vortex, it had changed her as it had changed Jack, but instead of making her just immortal(for she was that, until she somehow rid herself of the vortex), it had played with her DNA, bringing out the recessive, and previously dormant, Nerinan gene from way back in her lines. It would be a question how it got there, and pure luck how it managed to be passed along for so many generations, but it had happened. And Rothgar was in for a hell of a fight if he didn't leave, even though she would certainly never kill him.

Innocent?" Rothgar said with a cynical laugh. "there is no such thing. For everyone has sinned and in every heart there is shadow. "You underestimate my power" Sure she did. But he underestimated his sister as well.
In pure anger Rothgar released his mind completely. It held enough force that completly ripped Kit apart. Or course she was imortal so this was usless. Breathing heavily Rothgar frowned.
"So what now we to imortals eternally bound to battle?" She may not know it just yet but in a sense Rothgar could not die either. Sure his body could. But Rothgar could transport his mind and immortal soul to another fleshy prison.
Before she could start piecing herself together he fled to fight another day leaving behind death and destruction beyond measure where the two siblings had faught.
Kit was alone now. Save for Atakai, who disappeared days earlier, Her grandpa, Zarza her former rider who had gone mad when there connection was lost and was locked away in a mental hospital not far away from where she was. And of course the runt of a draca scientist Mahari. Whos wereabouts were not known. But without the emperor to fund his life saving reaseach no doubt sector 6 put him back to the labs for weapons of mass destruction on many levels.....
