The cloaked figure from the last Zonder fight was standing on the edge of a building, three black claws visbly digging ino the roof's wall. It watched the continually-darkening sky with little interest.
"Not enough precipitation in the air. No rain today. Tommorow, maybe." He muttered.
Its unseen arms fumbled with something in its cloak, and after a few minutes, it apparently gave up, as it bowed its head and issued a mechanical sigh. It eventually raised its head again, glancing around the area with unseen eyes.
Seems everyone is doing fine.... except for two. It thought.
It 'hmphed', adding aloud,
"As I predicted..."
He sighed, then glanced down the street at a certain green dragon's house. He shrugged, muttering,
"Sure, why not..."
He hopped down and walked over to their front door, then rapped a black knuckle on it several times.
"Domino's!" He shouted.

"I know for a fact that I don't order Domino's Pizza." Solranous said as he heard the rapping of knuckles and the shout, "Kisara might, but I don't." he added silently as an after thought. No matter, he went to the door and opened it, seeing the cloaked figure. Upon sight of him, Solranous blinked.
"Hello... If I may ask... who are you? Also, I'm grateful for the help you gave against that biomechanical monstrousity that rampaged through here a few days ago." Solranous spoke, eyeing the figure intently.
'Why do I feel like I've seen him before?'

"Ahhh... no problem. That thing was my fault anyway." The entity muttered, leaning backwards.
The unknown being leaned a cloaked head forward, jabbing it into the doorway and inspecting the warehouse within. Somehow taking note of the various hidden traps, he muttered,
"Heh... and I thought I was paranoid... though... those could use a lot of work..."
Pulling his head back out, he asked,
"What's been happening around here for the past few weeks? Anything of importance?"

"Myrr was working with what she could get her hands on, so they are awfully improvised..." Solranous concurred with the cloaked entity's observation ofthe traps his daughter had managed to set up. He had also noted the blatent aversion to answering one of the questions, but didn't press on it much.
"Anyways..." Solranous sighed as he thought of that incident, "Myrr's other half has had a likely irreversible encounter with Phazon, though thanks to quick work from Spite, a PED was put in place to keep the vile substance under control. Something not even my great telekinetic powers could even hope to accomplish. Just goes to show that everything has its limits." the dragon sighed again, "Though there is some good news about that, the ten percent chance that the Phazon wouldn't spread to Myrr once her dark half returned to being her shadow was hit instead of the ninety percent chance that it would. A being called Ridley, who was the reason the Phazon managed to get in contact with Myrr's dark half, is deceased. Unfortunately though... Shive has left for his own dimension for an undeterminable amount of time..."
Solranous then furrowed his eyebrows as he looked at his 'guest,' "I doubt I'm wrong here, but do correct me if I am..."
An ominous pause followed, as the tension built up; the dragon finally uttering a single name.
"O'Malley..."
The dragon fell silent again, waiting for the figure to respond.

The figure was also silent, then raised its head to look back at Solranous.
"I might be... I might not be..." He responded.
The entity folded its arms and leaned its head back, continuing,
"Why does the name matter? I've shown you no offense nor harm, nor do I plan on it unless you push me to. Knowing you, you won't do that. And, even if I was, why would it matter if I was he or not? He's done horrible things to everyone here. If I were you, and you were O'Malley, I'd have killed you on sight by now."
The cloak flared outwards for a moment, the sound of air being released apparent for a split-second before the cloak settled back against the entity's frame.

"So you think. Yet I am a rather forgiving person. Spite had told Kisara that O'Malley was rather unstable when Fort Machinima went up in flames, which would explain his actions. Seeing as how he wasn't exactly sane, irrational and/or cruel actions are to be expected. If he were to, by some possible explanation, return to this world, I would more then likely give him a second chance. You know I wouldn't provoke an attack from a potential companion, plus O'Malley is the only machine I know that is a solid black color... Going by process of elimination, the only being you can be is O'Malley..."
Solranous smiled at the figure.
"Not to mention the slight hesitation to speak tipped me off as well."

The figure paused again, held up a single black, clawed finger as if preparing to speak, then lowered it once more.
"goddamnit, only you can find ways to beat a 200 IQ's logic." The entity muttered.
He jerked his head backwards, revealing the angular black 'muzzle' illuminated faintly by the glow from his singe red-orange eye.
It was indeed O'Mally.
The droid refused to remove any more of the cloak as he continued,
"You're too forgiving, wyrm. That'll kill you one day."
He held his arms out to the side and added,
"And despite how this sounds, I was perfectly sane when I blew up that building! I just couldn't deal with myself after realizing what i had done..."
He paused.
"Don't tell anyone I'm back, by the way."

"Maybe it will, maybe it will." Solranous agreed, nodding. Then he became stern when he continued.
"Don't worry, it'll be as if you were never here, and this conversation never took place as far as the others are concerned. I have my ways of keeping things concealed."
Solranous then nodded to the droid, "Sorry about mistaking your state of mind during that unfortunate incident. Its good to see your back, despite what happened, I was at least mildly saddened at your destruction."
Solranous glanced up into the sky... a feeling of foreboding crossed him... as if something bad would happen soon...
"Other then what I told you previously, life in Nightshade has been as 'normal' as normal can get... which means to say; highly chaotic."

"Hmph. I suppose so. Oh, and by the way, something's up at the caves in the Cliffs; you may want to get a few people together and check it out sometime soon. Also, Artecaex says hi." He stated nonchalantly.
He too stared at the sky, then muttered,
"...aaaas for me.... I've got to, um... I've got to go.... make some... amends..."
With that, he nodded, pulled the cloak back over his eye, then hopped onto a nearby building and into the distance.
If I had a heart, I'd've thanked him... He thought.

Solranous gaped after O'Malley left.
'Artecaex is alive!? How in the f***ing hell is he alive!?
...
...
Nevermind... I forgot that supernatural beings seem to have an affinity for defying death here...
Still... Something new in the caves in the cliffs? O'Malley's right, we should check that out...'
"Dad? Who was that?" Myrr asked as she came around a corner.
Solranous nibbled his lower lip while his back was turned... He didn't want to do this, but he had made a promise... "No one all that important, though I did find out information on a place we should explore soon..." While he spoke, he sifted through her mind with the greast amount of stealth and wiped clean any part of her memory that included his conversation with O'Malley.
"Oh... Ok..." Myrr said, shrugging.
