Part Two Inside the building was even more impressive than the outside, if at all possible! The entrance hall was made of some sort of faint luminescent dark blue marble, sporting a long couch off to one side of the wall and a billboard on the other. It flashed messages in a different language, but it became apparent that this was some sort of business building, and this was like the 'waiting room'. Very plain, but very pretty! Lila stayed close to Meive's side, awed but privately so. Luutris opened a door at the end of the short stretch of hallway that was the waiting room, and the next room was but another hall with many, many doors on either side. But Luutris opened the nearest door and allowed his guests to enter first, leaving the door open as he followed. The room was large, an oval table in the middle with plush chairs. There was so much to take in, but Lila noticed book shelves, furniture, even a small bar-like area! There were many interesting items on the top of the shelves, like water that floated above a gold pedestal without glass holding the particles together. Luutris sat at the head of the table, and Lila sat to his left and patted the seat next to her for Meive. Her attention drew to the doorway, however, as Kita and Raz entered--flanked by a few Nuujlou. The air about the room changed, and Lila would have stood to acquire what was going on, but Luutris got there first. "Razziel, I thought I felt you here. How...unfortunate." his voice held distaste, which was surprising from such a mellow being. Lila blinked. Razziel? Two zs? "Luutiris, I don't understand." Lila managed to say, almost hurt by Raz's pained expression. Even though Kita was asked politely to stand away from Razziel by one of their escorts, Kita refused to and kept a hand on his shoulder. Something wasn't right, and she wasn't about to let Raz face it alone. "Oh, I see! Alright, I shall turn away." Mikke said with a goofy grin, bowing in the hopes to lighten her mood and turned gracefully on his heel, bringing his wings around his arms to cover his eyes and most of his head. He was still very relaxed, and not very worried about the city before them. If something bad was happening or about to, Lila or Meive would surely mind-contact them.

Meive was just as awed as Lila, though he didn’t show it either. When they were lead into the large room, his emerald eyes scanning the room curiously. He sat down where Lila motioned next to her, and he watched their host Luutiris intently.
When Kita and Raz entered the room, Meive could sense the atmosphere in the room change immediately. A lump developed in his throat, as the feeling of welcome from the Nuujlou changed to something else, especially towards Raz. The auburn haired youth watched Luutiris’ interaction with the young boy, and it angered him a little, though he had no right, since the two seemed to have a history. When Lila made her comment on the situation, Meive placed a firm hand on her shoulder and shook his head. He didn’t know what was going on, but thought it was best if they didn’t get involved. From the looks of it, if they got into it, then it would possibly help Raz in the long run, much to Meive’s displeasure.
Meive was happy to see that Kita wouldn’t leave Raz’s side though. It probably didn’t help the situation but he was sure it made Raz feel a little comforted.
Aeya was grateful for Mikke’s easygoing behavior. Quickly she pulled her pants off and folding them neatly, tossed them on top of her shoes and socks along with her glasses. Turning she dived expertly into the waves. The half-mermaid could feel her body transforming, the fins n her arms spreading out in a teal blue fan. The fins on her back pushed their way down through the fabric of her shirt, still keeping it in tact. The gills on her neck opened, and she took a few deep breaths, the excitement of the water washing over her. Her ears had elongated and were fanned out slightly as well, webbed and poked out from her thick black hair. When she surfaced she turned around to watch Mikke’s back for a couple seconds, her embarrassment from earlier gone. Only half of her face poked out from the ocean water.
“Ok! You turn around now. Thanks a lot!” She let her mouth rise out of the water in order to speak, when it became hidden under the water a large smile rested on her lips.

Lila closed her mouth at Meive's indication to not interfere, and nodded. The firm grip on her shoulder suddenly made her aware of just how fragile their current situation was...it was a good thing Meive had realized that before she had said something else. Luutris slowly stood from his chair, those ruby-red eyes darkening. Even though it was directed at Raz, Kita felt a chill go down her spine. But she kept her mouth shut, that much she would do. However, her hand did not leave Raz's shoulder--somehow, that seemed important.
"Luutris, there is no need--" Raz began, but Luutris cut him off.
"You are the head of The Razziel, are you not? It would be hard to believe that your instincts have changed in the mere five years since I and your kind last met."
"The Razziel is long dead, Luutris." Raz said softly, actually very thankful for Kita's quiet, firm support. "They no longer hunt you down, and I have no need to."
Lila almost opened her mouth again, but the hand on her shoulder reminded her not to. So she impatiently tamped down her burning curiosity and remained quiet. Luutris walked around the table to stand before Razziel, and brushed aside the boy's bangs. Again, it was made clear of how similar their eyes were.
"The Razziel is not dead. Rather they hide, like us." There was silence, then Luutris stepped away. "You and your friends will leave us, now. A hyperspace path has been detected, targeting this planet. Let this be remembered, Razziel, that you we able to leave...alive." the others left Raz and Kita, walking out the door. But before Luutris exited, he paused. "Lila, your ship has been repaired and re-stocked. I am sorry that we could not learn about each other better, but the situation has become too tricky. Fare well--perhaps Iing would better suit your needs." before it could be asked what Iing even was, the graceful being was gone.
Mikke turned, grinning at the half-mermaid. He squatted on his heels, his wings spread out nicely for balance.
"That looks like fun! Too bad I couldn't do that." Mikke said lightly. As fun as it looked, he still didn't trust himself in a body of water with another person--there was too much of a chance of him zapping the water, even at this calmed state. She's so pretty, Mikke found himself thinking, a smile playing at his lips. "Feeling any better?" he called out, scooping up some sand and letting it filter out between his fingers. She had poped back under the water, but he knew she might still be able to hear him.

Meive stood, letting his hand that had been resting on Lila’s shoulder fall to his side. He didn’t allow himself to say anything to make the situation worse. They were going to leave, and this thought sort of relieved the young man. He had no idea what had happened between the Nuujlou and Raz’s people, but from the looks of it, it wasn’t going to be a happy ending if they stayed here. He bowed politely, to at least show his thanks for them taking him and his friends in for at least a short while.
When Luutris disappeared he walked over to Raz and placed a hand on his shoulder. Looking at the younger boy reassuringly.
“Let’s get out of here guys.” His voice was calm as he turned his emerald gaze to the other two companions in the room.
Aeya observed Mikke closely as he turned around and sat down on his heels. She couldn’t wipe the smile off her face as she slowly let herself sink. Turning, she looked out at the endless blue of the water before her, noticing how the aquatic inhabitants flitted around. Hearing his question, she turned around and watched him under the water for a few seconds, before an idea popped into her mind. She figured that he wouldn’t come into the water because of his powers, which she felt sort of bad for.
Lifting her tail high out of the water, she smacked it down on the crystal blue surface letting a large spray of water soak the young boy on the shore. Surfacing the upper half of her face again, she couldn’t help but bust up laughing. For a time, all the worries she’d had were gone, and she just wanted their time together, however long to at least be fun. Let’s just have things semi-normal for a little bit. Please…

Raz had closed his eyes as Kita had finally removed her hand, his bangs coming to cover his eyes once again. He hadn't expected this to happen...not here, and certainly not now in front of a group of people he had come to terms as being friends with. When Meive approached him and set a hand on his shoulder, the boy opened his eyes and slightly looked up to him, seeing the reassurance. It was a good thing Raz's eyes were covered, for he could feel them get moist. He didn't feel like he deserved friends at all, not when...
"Yes, let's get going." Kita said softly, taking the lead out with the knowledge that Meive would stick by Raz. Her tail was a bit stiff as she led them out of the building, for she could feel the arising alarm of having been found. It hadn't taken them very long to track them down...
The streets were empty of people as they made their way to the ship, and the silence was almost eery. But once they got to the ship, it was hard to believe it was the one they had crash-landed with. It was nearly unrecognizable with the new silver hull that shined richly in the mellow light. Lila, who had been walking very silently behind the group, was trying very hard to not let her panic show as she stepped forward to walk up the ramp first, needing to get inside first to get the ship warmed up and ready for flight. When her mind had been attacked earlier...it had had to stop because they went out of reach through hyperspace. But with someone drawing near...would it happen again?
Aeya, Mikke? Sorry to interrupt, but we must leave at once. Apparently, we are being tracked down. Stay there, actually, we'll come pick you up. Lila broad casted to the other two, and plopped down into the pilot's chair.
"We are going to go pick up Mikke and Aeya, they are still by the ocean." Lila said, but it was easily to tell that she was panicked now. That pain had been...severe. The notion of possibly feeling it again made her sick.
Mikke laughed and fell down on his bum when Aeya splashed him, his feathers glistening from the water. "Hey!" he chuckled, shaking himself like a puppy to let the water fling off of him. This was great...they had never been able to hang out like this before! Maybe it would last longer, if the others were doing alright.
But that thought was blasted away when Lila contacted him, and Mikke sighed, knowing that Aeya would be disheartened by leaving. Had they not been under threat of beign discovered, Mikke would have requested more time...
"Hey, Aeya...I promise you that we'll get a chance to see the ocean again, okay?" Mikke said, flashing an encouraging smile as he covered his eyes with his hands and brought his wings over to cover his head again, to give Aeya privacy to get back into her clothes if she needed it.

Meive remained by Raz’s side, though he’d glanced to Lila when they started their trek back to the ship. The only sign of surprise that came from Meive about the spaceship’s new appearance were raised eyebrows. He was thankful that at least these people were going to let them leave, and with what looked to be a brand new ship. Watching Lila get on the ship first, he could sense the fear coming from her. He shared the fear, though maybe not to such a degree as the young woman. Where will we go now? Do we even know where we are to begin with. They were negative thoughts in his mind, ones he couldn’t get rid of as he found himself in the control room, watching Lila silently. He'd once again remembered about Aeya, and wished that she and Mikke would be fine, though he knew that if anything had happened they would have warned them about it. But he still couldn't help but feel worried.
Aeya’s sapphire blue eyes sparkled with laughter as she watched the young man. She suddenly realized that it was the first time anyone had hung out with her like this before, while she was in her mermaid form. A lopsided smile danced across her lips, as she felt happy that it was with Mikke.
That was, until the message from Lila sifted into her thoughts. Her smile immediately vanished, as a wave of fear shot through her. When Mikke spoke, his voice grabbed her attention, and she couldn’t help but smile for a few seconds.
“Thanks! I’ll remember that Mikke,” Her voice was surprisingly calmer than she felt. She was grateful that he’d been polite enough to cover his head for her. She swam to the most shallow area of water before using her arms to pull herself onto the sand, high enough to get out of the water and next to where her clothing rested. She turned to sit down and lay on the hot sand under her skin, trying to stay under control as much as possible, “I’ll have to wait a few minutes in order for the water to dry off before I can change back…Sorry.”
She closed her eyes to the bright sunlight above them, letting the heat soak into her skin. Aeya was trying her best to keep her thoughts away from the fact that once again they were in danger, and instead on the short time that she’d spent with the winged boy next to her.
“…Come…Aenxye…”
Her sapphire blue eyes shot open, as she pushed herself onto her elbows and stared out at the ocean once again. She didn’t want to say anything to Mikke, figuring that it wouldn’t help the situation so she just continued to stare instead. What is that…I swear it’s real, but why am I the only one who can hear it… She suddenly felt her body changing, it seeming to be dry enough to change back into her human form. When her eyesight had changed back into its original poor state, she knew that she was ready to get dressed again. Standing up, she almost fell over, not having her landlegs back yet. Deciding it was better to remain sitting, she sat down next to her clothes and started pulling her jeans up her legs.
“Okay Mikke. It’s safe.” She’d already begun pulling her socks back onto her feet with one hand while she fixed her glasses on the bridge of her nose with the other.

As Lila strapped herself in, Raz seated himself in the weapons control chair without comment or suggestion. He knew what they may have to do...and currently, he was taking his mind off of what had happened here on this planet. He promised in a soft voice that he would catch them up to speed on The Razziel, but at a later time. Right now, they needed to get out of here without being killed.
Kita, still silent, strapped herself in on the bench where Mikke had sat last time. But suddenly, something came to her...
"Hey, guys...that man, he said something about Iing. Iing is a planet in the Aeries Solar System." Lila looked over to the Bastet, realization lit on her face.
"Yes, you are right! But what is there?"
"Some sort of organization--"
"The Razziel." Raz said calmly enough, catching on to what Luutris had been on about. "Luutris knew where they were."
"Hmm. We'll set the coordinates in that general direction, but make a pause along the way. Then we'll discuss what we need to do," Lila said, turning back around and commanding the ship to rise with a smoothness that startled her. "...Well blast, this ship is all new. I wonder if it even has a name?" she asked more to herself as they guided smoothly above the city. The beach quickly came into view, and Lila settled the ship a safe distance away from the figures of Aeya and Mikke.
As soon as the ramp was down, Mikke was guiding Aeya in before him as he glanced over his shoulder, as if making sure no one else was trying to board. One they sat down, he buckled in next to Aeya, flashing Kita a mellow smile. Kita smiled back at her friends...but now was not the time to talk, for Lila and Raz would need to have their concentration in check.
As they lifted above the city once again, in a flash it appeared to how it was when they had first come--desolate, lonely and gray. When the ship broke out of the planet's atmosphere, not too far from them to the right speckled a sudden show of green and white...a hyperspace window was opening.
"Ready to fire, Raz?"
"Yes. I suggest that you open a window as soon as I start to fire--they aren't expecting this ship to be up and about since we took so much damage...we have the upperhand. Everyone is buckled in this time, right? Good." Raz confirmed with a quick glance before readying his hands above the controls.
Without really noticing it, Mikke reached over and gently gripped Aeya's hand. All she would feel was a pleasent tingling, nothing harsh or shocking. Just then Raz began to fire at a smaller ship that suddenly appeared, the white and green beams of energy blasting briefly at them until they had sense enough toput up their sheilds. And then, so suddenly, they were traveling through the familliar blur of green and white. Kitas let out a slow breath, obviously relieved.
"From the looks of it, it was just a scout ship...as if they were seeing if we had really been here. You knocked out their communications, didn't you?"
"Yes, and communications are conected to the tracking device, so now they will have no idea where we are. I made sure not to damage their engine...now they can get back to the space station." Raz said, only slighly visibly relaxing. Lila was extremely relieved--there had not been enough reaction time for the ship to attack, mentally or by fire power.
Thank goodness...

Meive had strapped himself in the Navigation backup console, knowing that he would probably be pretty useless with it, but figured it was better than nothing. Their carefree and overjoyed mood of survival earlier was gone, replaced with the fear and tenseness that their new situation called for. When Kita mentioned Iing being a planet, it came to him as he turned the chair around and stared at the Bastet. A grave smile flashed across his lips before he nodded his head and twisted his chair back around, to see that they were landing a short distance from where Mikke and Aeya were. He was relieved to see they were ok, though he knew they would be.
Aeya was grateful for Mikke’s support, her legs still being wobbly. She found it interesting that even though she’d been in the water for all of about ten minutes she’d lost her landlegs rather quickly. Buckling in next to the young winged boy, she out the front window and stared at the sparkling blue water. Sighing mentally, she looked away when she felt Mikke grip her hand, sending a tingling sensation up her arm. She couldn’t help but smile at the tickling sensation, as she squeezed his hand.
A lump had developed in her throat as she watched the ship appear from the hyperspace window. After their brief encounter, she joined in with Kita’s breath of relief. Listening to Lila and Raz discuss the ship’s short battle, Aeya noticed how smoother and faster the fixed ship seemed to be moving. She had no idea how it happened, but the half-mermaid remembered taking note about the ships changed appearance when Mikke and her had first boarded. It looked like an entirely new ship, and it seemed to move like one too, which she was truly grateful for. Hope no more crash landings… It was then she realized that she had no idea where they were going. Turning her sapphire gaze to the seats where Raz, Lila and Meive sat she stared a second.
“Hey guys, where are we going?”

Lila unbuckled herself and turned around in her chair at the same time Raz did, and she ran a hand through her onyx hair.
"That...is a very good question, Aeya. It seems that, wherever we go, we will continue to be hunted down, and bring trouble to those we are around." She rested her hand on the right part of her face, just for the sake of personal comfort. Raz watched her for a while as the silence stretched on, and then he lightly crossed his arms in his usual stance.
"What we need is someone who will want to help us."
Mikke gently squeezed Aeya's hand again before taking it away and fixing the boy with a quizzical stare.
"What are you proposing?"
"My proposition is...that we take Luutris' advice, and go to Iing. If indeed The Razziel are there, then they will help us. After all..." Raz brushed the hair away from his eyes, and let those ruby orbs fall on each person in turn. "The Razziel are the ones who discovered that beings could manipulate the forces of nature. It would...sort of be like a homecoming."
Razziel paused then, waiting for any questions...and looked at Meive in particular. The young man had his head in the right place, and he'd ask the right questions.

Aeya watched Lila worriedly. There seemed to something wrong. When the older woman mentioned their problems, it twisted a knot in the girl’s stomach. She’d known everything the onyx haired woman had been saying, but when it was vocalized it seemed all the more ominous. Her sapphire came to rest of Raz with an expression of pure confusion.
“Who’s Luutris…and the Razziel? Did we miss something while we were gone?” Aeya would have loved to ask more questions than that, but she refrained, thinking it better that she stick with a few, and maybe more would be answered later.
Meive had turned in order to face the rest of his companions. He understood Aeya’s confusion, but thought that they should catch the two up on what had happened later, and instead should find out more about Iing, and the Razziel.
“Sorry Aeya, we’ll answer your questions later, we need to find out what we’re getting into first,” His emerald gaze rested calmly on Raz’s form, “Raz, you’re going to have to tell us everything you know about Iing. And why the Razziel are going to help us. As well as their background. I apologize if it’s an unhappy subject, but at this point, we have no choice. It’s dangerous to nothing about your enemies and it’s even worse to have no knowledge about your allies.” He didn’t want to sound pushy, he just wanted to get the point across as gently as possible that they needed answers or face terrible things.
Aeya, furrowed her eyebrows, understanding Meive, and she was okay with waiting patiently until her questions could be answered. She had no idea what was going on, but it looked to be a life or death situation and she didn’t want to miss out on any of the information that Raz might give. Why can’t we be home…

Raz met Meive's gaze and held it there, and even pushed his long bangs aside. Perhaps it was so that Meive could monitor his eyes, to see if he were lying or even deceiving them. Anyone could mask their expression--but it was near impossible to mask the eyes.
"The Razziel are a group of 'bounty hunters', I suppose you could say. They are pro-war, but are an honest group that only hunt for the need of man kind. At one point, Luutris and his people were sniffing around where they shouldn't have been, and learned about the experiment that The Razziel were concocting. They threatened to reveal us...so a war between our two peoples started five years ago. My father was killed in action...and as tradition goes, his name, Razziel, was passed down to me--along with being the head of The Razziel. But he did not die quick enough to tell me of my origins, that he had had a romance with a Nuujlou woman years before the war.
"When I was born, it was done in discretion of either The Razziel or the Nuujlou's knowledge. A humans genetic makeup are much stronger than that of a Nuujlou woman's, so the only traits of a Nuujlou I have are their eyes and a few other characteristic perks. Of course, this was soon discovered...and somewhere between my birth and when I came to be sixteen years old the conflicts between the two peoples began to burn. When The Razziel began their experiments, it was believed that yet another man of the group had an affair with a Nuujlou woman. They had a baby girl just one year after I was born. So you can imagine the stress of it all...the Nuujlou race are tied to a fragile existence, and they strongly restrict other-race mingling. That's when they began snooping around, and discovered what we were doing."
Kita hardly noticed that her jaw was beginning to slightly drop. This was so very fascinating...! Lila felt the same way, though she wasn't dropping her jaw.
"My father had discovered a way to manipulate human DNA to do the 'unthinkable'--gain control of certain elements. He gathered many volunteers of different races, both male and female, to be injected with his concoction. Nothing happened, and years went on...until they had children. Nothing had happened until we, the next generation, were born."
"So you are saying that your father injected himself, along with the others?" Kita couldn't help but ask. Even though Raz was still looking at Meive, he nodded at her question.
"Yes. So all-in-all, by going to Iing, we fall under a protection that my father set up before his death. There we can learn more, and see why Lila's people are so keen to get at us."
"Raz...why were you on Earth?" Lila asked softly, having been wondering that for quite some time now. Raz was silent for a minute before he answered, but it was still honest.
"I was taking care of my little brother and earthling 'mother'."
Kita leaned backinto her seat, mulling over everything Raz had said. So, there was a lot more to this web of plots than met the eye...

Meive listened to Raz’s words carefully. His emerald eyes remaining locked with the younger boy’s ruby ones. He had every ounce of trust in him, knowing that Raz would not dare lie to his companions. The things the teenager spoke of infuriated him though. The idea that the Razziel felt they had the right to experiment with people even if it was with their consent, as well as the Nuujlou who could not accept anything but the purebreds of their race.
The intensity of his gaze grew as Lila asked her question. When Raz finished answering, Meive finally looked away and blinked, sighing deeply all the while. It wasn’t that he was upset with the younger boy, but the idea of it all was enough to make him mad. Sitting back in the chair, he let his head fall back and his eyes looked up to the ceiling. So this is how it’s going to be…
Aeya gaped silently, her sapphire eyes passing between Raz and Meive intensely. She could tell by Meive’s rigid posture that he was angry over the information the teenager had just told of. Pulling herself together, she let her gaze fall upon her other companions, who all seemed to be shocked into a sort of silence as well. Finally regaining control of her voice, she collected her thoughts.
“So what does that mean for you when we arrive then? Since you’re supposed to be the leader, will they let you leave?” When the half-mermaid finished speaking, Meive turned his head to look back at Raz, waiting for a response. Will we really be welcome?

"Of course they will let me go--my father and his experiments were stupid." Raz's voice changed from informative to a flickering fire, and his arms crossed more firmly. Kita was taken aback by this sudden change in tempo. So, he hadn't liked it at all, after all! "What he did was against so many things, I am very surprised he did not die sooner. The Razziel are still known by their name, but their practices have died. They live simple, genuine lives, and Iing is known as the number-one world that succeeds the best in galactic space control and security. They would not shun us--rather, they owe us their hospitality and help."
Lila was silent, staring down at her hands which had folded on her lap. Hmm...
"Look...my leadership position has been out ruled and[/b] outlawed. No one can take my title, and I can not bring it back to life. My name is simply Raz, Raziel, or Razziel...my father ruled with a hand of dictatorship. Now the planet is a democracy, where the people speak for themselves. If they were to learn of me, which they would, I would receive sympathy. When I was old enough, I myself resigned and destroyed the tittle of head Razziel. Iing is not a place to fear...but it is up to you guys. We could keep running, or even face Lila's people ourselves again."

Aeya flinched with surprise by the sudden heated retorts that came from Raz. She hadn’t meant to make him angry with her question or offend him in any way. Sitting back in her seat she looked down and stared at her gloved hands resting in her lap.
Meive looked over to Aeya, and then rested his eyes once more on Raz. He could understand the teenager’s frustration, but he had no right to speak like that towards Aeya, she didn’t know any better.
“Raziel. There was nothing meant by her comments, she didn’t mean to offend you in any way. We’re all just trying to figure this out. You need to be patient with us, please.” It was the first and hopefully the last time Meive would need to say the younger boy’s whole name. He wished to get the point across that this was not the time to get angry over things none of them had control over.
Aeya suddenly unbuckled her seatbelts and stood, turning to head towards the back of the ship. Her black hair shadowed her expression as she reached the hall. Pausing she turned back quickly and said, “I’m going to get some water, I’ll be in the infirmary.” When Meive blinked, she’d disappeared down the dark passage.

"What?" Raz blinked, cooled down as Meive said his full name and lightly told him off. "Huh, wait no--! I wasn't mad at you at...all..." Raz spluttered, cheeks slightly going red. No no no, he hadn't meant to make it sound like that, at all! He had only gotten mad about the situation, not the question itself... "Excuse me," he said as he walked calmly after Aeya. Even though this was skipping out of his usual character, it would kill him to have Aeya think she had made him angry.
Lila couldn't help it...she chuckled, standing and stretching out her arms at the same time. "Wow, he blushed...I think we are seeing a very different side of him, my friends"
"Lila," Kita asked suddenly, tilting her head to the side. "How old are you?"
"Twenty, why?"
"Really? You seem older."
Raz half-heard the conversation, but couldn't react to it just yet. He caught up to Aeya, awkwardly clearing his throat.
"Aeya, I was not getting mad at you...you just made me realize a few things. It isn't right to mess around with...natural things." Ugh, why couldn't he string his sentences together right? He leaned back against the wall, tilting his head up so that he gazed rather sadly up at the ceiling. "I am sorry, Aeya. I could never get mad at you...rather, I'm mad at myself."
