Xeno-Myrr paused as she looked at the strange being absorbing Ridley's energy, and apparenntly the Phazon with it. "Something tells me we shouldn't let that thing get too big. Any one have any ideas on how to kill it?"
Myrr didn't reply, just smiling at Shive for saving her life, but still staying away from him, seeing as she was hit with the Phazon energy blasts. She didn't want him to be caught up in it, and hoped that Solranous can purge the Phazon from her and Xeno-Myrr.

A voice then called out from the ship,
"NO! Stop! Let go of Ridley, Metroid!"
Ridley growled, prying at the thing, the 'Metroid' as the voice had called it, and the blob started looking as if it were... wilting. Yet it was still atached to Ridley, determind to not let go.
"Something tells me it's trying to distract him..." Shive muttered, scratching at the blue glow on his chest.
He suddenly grinned, furling his wings around himself. He spread them apart, revealing his Archon form as he held his hands out to the sides. A bright yellow light began filling into them as he hissed,
"That training with Vazaad gave me back several spells I had forgotten when coming here..."
He then threw both hands forward, sending a beam of pure searing light towards Ridley, which burned through his midsection and out of the back, along with a haze of Phazon. Ridley's eyes went blank, and as he collapsed, the Metroid weakly unlatched from Ridley's neck, crumpling onto the ground. Before either Myrr could do anything, Shive's hands were immersed in white 'fire' and began waving it over himself, allowing a haze of light-blue energy to be pulled out and harmlessly dissapated. Being purged of the Phazon, Shive grabbed both Myrrs and got to work on them, healing their wounds and attempting to purge them of the mutagen as well.
Five minutes passed, and while Myrr was now clean, Shive seemed to be having trouble purging Xeno of her Phazon.
"goddamnit, come clean!" He barked.
Scowling, he asked Myrr,
"If we kill her, she'll just reform as you shadow. If so, you think the Phazon'd be gone too?"

Myrr shook her head negatively. "No, I think all the Phazon Xeno unintentionally absorbed would just go to me when she turns back into my shadow... And it may be just too much for you too purge. I'm afraid she, and me in turn, is stuck like that..."
Xeno-Myrr's eyes partially closed as she whimpered, what had she done to deserve this? "I'm sorry... If I hadn't been so rash... this wouldn't have happened." she said quietly.
Myrr looked at her dark half with sympathy, "Maybe Father can do something about it, he's not restricted by his own health when it comes to healing some one."
Xeno-Myrr looked up to her light half with mild hope, "Really?"
"No garuntee's, but its possible..." Myrr replied, smiling. Inside though, she honestly doubted Solranous' abiility to do anything about it...

Shive shook his head sadly, cursing his inability to do anything. He paused, then asked Xeno,
"Didin't you come here to find someone?"
He paused, his hair standing on end as an unnatural wind blew through the area... in fact, it came from the ship. A pair of pure white eyes appeared in the doorway, and Shive's eyes shrank when he saw them. They were higher off the ground than his would be, if only by half a foot or so. The eyes narrowed, glancing from side to side, then hissed,
"You! One with the feathered wings! You have healing abilities, do you not?!"
Shive nodded rapidly, unnerved by the sight of those orbs. Movement in the shadows of the doorway suggested a hand waving, but one couldn't be sure. The entity then growled,
"I have someone who needs your help..."
Another figure came into view, though this one had to have been carried by the former, for she was on her back, eyes closed. The larger figure set her down on the ground gently, then quickly pulled back its unseen hands as Shive cautiously approached the downed creature.
A fox-anthro was the only definition for the being’s image. She had a humanoid shape, altered only by her short muzzle/ears, her tail, and her thin layer of orchid fur, with white fur covering her face and the front of her torso. Her half-open eyes were a radiant green, and adorning her head was dark-purple hair that reached the base of her neck (though a few locks of it were strewn about before/around her face). She wore an almost skin-tight, badly tattered light-gray gray jumpsuit with red highlights on the forearms, knees, and shoulders. She was covered in wounds, her fur matted with blood, barely breathing.
Shive blinked, shocked at the being's condition, then set to work healing her as well, at the cost of his own energy as the white-eyed entity in the doorway looked on. Try as it might, the moonlight just wouldn't reach the being.

'If Solranous were here, he could heal those wounds... He's done it before.' Myrr thought as she glanced at the fox-anthro.
Xeno-Myrr decided to ask, "This wouldn't happen too be Elena, would it?"
'Elena... That's who Xeno said she was looking for, but why?' Myrr continued, still mulling over the situation... And who was Ridley before he was mutated? So many questions, and almost no answers...

The pair of white eyes looked up at Xeno's question, and responded,
"Yes, yes it is. Thank you for returning me to her."
Suddenly, the girl groaned, sitting up and clutching her head. Shive paused in his healing, panting by now after the energy he had expended for himself and the two Myrr's, and now Elena. The girl shook her head, then looked up at Shive, who had reverted back into his normal form. She paled under her fur, and backed up quickly, glancing around. Upon laying sight on Xeno-Myrr, her heart almost leapt into her throat, but stopped when she acknowledged it wasn't an actual Xenomorph. She looked behind her and saw the two eyes, and she smiled.
"How you manage to get me out of trouble every single time..." She muttered.
She stood up weakly, then asked the group,
"So... who do I thank for bringing Void here back to me?"

Xeno-Myrr smiled and waved, "That would be me!" She said in a rather cheery voice, but that quickly and visibly drained away when she saw the blue tinting on her exoskeleton marking the Phazon infection. "Stupid Ridley..." she grumbled.
Myrr sighed, then decided to clarify things, "She's Xeno-Myrr, my shadow, dark side, the Yin to my Yang, whatever you want to call it. The somewhat insane knucklehead here is Shive, don't worry though, he's only harmful when you do something to him... or me... Well... Usually only under those cases... And I'm Myrr, glad to meet you, Elena." the half-dragon said walking up to the fox-anthro and extending her hand in a gesture of freindship.

Before Elena could grasp Myrr's hand, the thing i the doorway behind her issued a low rumble of displeasure, and she sighed. Elena turned and started muttering something to it, and it muttered back, obviously displeased about something. Void shook its head, apparent by the swaying of his eyes, and Elena rubbed her temples.
"Fine, have it your way." She muttered.
She turned back to the group and grabbed Myrr's hand anyway, shaking it loosely.
"Sorry, that's Void, a long-time friend of mine. He's... not a very trusting person. But don't pay him any attention, he's a jerk." She replied.
The shadow in the doorway grumbled something, nodding towards Xeno. Elena paused, noting the Phazon burns, and she restrained a gasp.
"Ridley did that, didn't he?" She asked, worry in her voice.
"Woulda killed him, had these slackers hurried up..." Void muttered so only Elena could hear.
She scowled, glaring at Void over her shoulder.
If it weren't for them, neither of us would be here at the moment. She informed Void telepathically.
The shadow grumbled something as Shive started narrowing his optics at the unknown entity.
Something about him seems... eerily familiar... He thought.
His eyes became outlined in white as his magic-detecting skill came into play. His eyes widened abruptly, and he suddenly choked.
"O-O-O-O-O-" He stuttered.
Void and Elena both turned towards Shive, and Void suddenly issued a growling laugh.
"You're going to say 'obyrith', aren't you? Well, you'd be correct."
Elena did a double take, and she asked,
"How do you know what he is?"
Shive, through cold stare, responded,
"I've worked around a fair share of demons in my time..."

"Yeah... Stupid Ridley did this..." Xeno-Myrr hissed in dismay.
Myrr nodded in understanding, "Void's a bit over protective of you, isn't he?"
Xeno-Myrr was still down cast, hoping that Solranous could do something to purge her of the Phazon, or if someone else knew how to build the device to keep it in check. She could live with it if it wasn't in a state that would send her to madness.

Elena nodded, smirking.
"Waaaay overprotective." She replied, laughing.
Shive glanced at Xeno, then leaned over to her and muttered,
"We'll see what O'Malley can do... i'm sure he's over his 'funk' by now."
Obviously, Shive had no idea of what had transpired within the last few hours...
Meanwhile, Void grumbled something as he looked at the east as the first light of dawn began to break. He stepped into the ship a bit more, and Elena muttered with a smirk,
"Crybaby. it's just a little light..."
Void glared at her, muttering,
"You damn well know what sunlight does to me..."
Elena rolled her eyes, then pointed to her shadow.
"Just hide in there for now."
Void growled something, then his eyes vanished as he seemingly dissapeared. Elena's shadow had gotten a bit darker, however...

Myrr noticed this, and here eyes widened in minor shock, "So, Void is part of your shadow? So I'm not the only one with another who is part of, or in my case, completely, my shadow."
She then took a look at Xeno-Myrr, and smiled, "See? It's not all ba-"
"Myrr..."
Myrr let out a sudden "Eek!" and clutched her hand over her heart, panting somewhat after recovering from the shock, she wheeled on the person who addressed her, already knowing who it was as a transparent Solranous came into veiw.
"DAD! Don't scare me like that!" Myrr cried out, shaking her fist at the dragon, who ignored it and continued.
"It's about O'Malley, I just heard Shive suggest his help in aiding with some sort of infection while I was checking up on you. Phazon, is it? Anyways... my unfortunate news is... O'Malley is no more."
Xeno-Myrr's eyes bugged out, "WHAT!? WHAT DO YA MEAN BY THAT!?" the hybrid screeched, making Solranous flinch.
"I and the robots have just averted a great catastrophe. Unfortunately, O'Malley decided to remove any trace of his base of operations, and opted to go down with it. He was caught in the blast and utterly vaporized..." Solranous explained. He then noticed Elena "Pardon me for completely ignoring your presence, it was not my intention. I had no prior knowledge that you were here as well, I am Solranous, and, as my dear daughter so readily exclaimed, I am Myrr's father... technically." The dragon then shot a look at Myrr that said YOU are going to do the explaining, not me.
To this, Myrr sighed.

Elena blinked, morbidly confused at this development.
"Why does the name O'Malley sound familiar?" She muttered to herself.
Wasn't he the droid bounty hunter that took out the Xenomorph hive on Kodos, all by himself? Void asked her telepathically.
Her eyes widened, and she suddenly took a step back from the group of four, eyes narrowed.
"He... he slaughtered hundreds of people just for the money... not to mention he was technically Imperial property... you people allied with that mechanical monster?" She asked, her voice now icily cold.
Without getting a response, she hastily backed away, pulling out a 5-foot long staff of golden material, both ends widening into a bulb (the top of which had an ovaloid sapphire set into it). She held it out defensively before her as she side-stepped into the trees, then broke into a dead run, dissapearing quickly. Shive blinked, then slapped his hand against his face, muttering,
"Well... I suppose this'd be the first time we actually forced a new resident away from us..."

Myrr blinked, "What the hell?"
Solranous was confused too, "Perhaps I shouldn't have made my appearence... Or perhaps I should go and explain what had happened here..."
"No. Don't. She wants to be alone now, lets let her have that, she'll come back if she feels like it. And judging by her reaction, that's a very big 'if'." Myrr cut him off, then turned to him again.
"See ya back home, hopefully you can help Xeno out here..." She finished, taking flight. Solranous nodded, understanding what she meant, and vanished from sight again, Xeno-Myrr sighed, and prepared to take off as well.

Shive watched the spot where elena had vanished, and he sighed.
O'Malley's background sounds kinda familiar... although... I didn't do any of it for the money... He thoght, scowling a bit.
He paused, glancing at Xeno, then glanced off at the desert.
"Spite may not be as good as O'Malley was, but he's really good with tech. Why not ask him?" He asked aloud.
His wings spread, Shive took off into the air, not for his home, but an unknown destination. Something about today bothered him immensly...

'I would... but I don't want to bother him... He's already gone through a loss... I shouldn't trouble him with my problems until he's adequately recovered.' Xeno-Myrr thought, flying off after Myrr, not questioning where Shive was going...
