A New Face Around

[Azure_Ghidorah]

Cynder landed on the roof top of a building, unknowingly right next to Garrett's new home, arriving just in time to see Solranous' tail blade slip through the closing door. Blaze landed seconds later.

Before the anthro could say anthing, Cynder held up a paw and said, "Wait here."

The wyrmling jumped down to the ground, using her wings to slow her decent, and walked up to emerald dragon's house.

"Solranous?" Cynder called, wondering if she'll get a response. To her shock, nobody answered the door at all, despite her knowing they were there.

"Wha? Why won't the answer?" the wyrmling wondered, then called out a bit more loudly, "Solranous!?"

To her continued puzzlement, the only response was silence. Cynder arched an eyebrow in shock.

'Let me handle it.' Cynder's Hollow side said.

'Ok...' Cynder sighed, and Hollow Cynder became the dominant being, the now familiar transformation ensuing.

To Blaze though, it was like a thick black haze now shrouded Cynder from sight though, do to his lack of connection to the spirit world. The only reason he could see anything at all, was because of Hollow Cynder's partial connection to the real world.

"Solranous, get your damn tails out here!" Hollow Cynder growled, and was greeted by the door slamming in her face, before shutting again. The Hollow dragon was now fanned out on the ground, groaning.

"What the f***? He never did THAT before..." Hollow Cynder mused, getting back to her feet. She looked at Blaze, and shrugged her shoulders, of which Blaze could only barely make out.

"I guess Solranous isn't exactly wanting to have guests right now. Something pretty bad must have happened..."

[Talon]

"SHUT UP OUT THERE, OR SO HELP ME I'LL RIP YOUR goddamn VOICEBOX OUT!!!" Garrett's voice boomed from the nearest building.

The sound of a door slamming shut indicated where Garrett's voice came from, and he was seen passing by one of the bottom-floor windows, scowlingbefore the windows were covered by tattered shades.

[Blaze]

"DON'T YELL AT PEOPLE IT'S VERY RUDE!"

Blaze yelled back.

"So Whats the problem with- Why are you all hazy and stuff?"

Blaze reached into his pocket and pulled out his reading glasses, tryng to see what was once Cynder.

[Azure_Ghidorah]

Hollow Cynder looked up at Blaze who, even with his reading glasses, couldn't see her any better.

"Sorry, I forgot you don't have any connection to the spirit world. If it weren't for unique circumstances, you wouldn't be able to see me at all. It's a Hollow trait."

Hollow Cynder sighed, and pounded on Solranous' front door, trying to get a better response again. Finally, the dragon opened up the door and looked at Hollow Cynder.

"Oh fine, if you're going to be that persistant I might as well see what you want." Solranous growled irritably.

"Well excuse me if I was just trying to introduce a newbie here." Hollow Cynder growled back. Solranous finally took notice of Blaze.

"Huh... Sorry about that... I'm just very irritable right now..." Solranous replied to Hollow Cynder who nodded.

"I already figured out that much."

Solranous then motioned for Blaze to come down, calling "Sorry about the rudeness I just displayed... Things haven't exactly gone perfectly in my world."

[Blaze]

Blaze, still struggling to see Cynder caught a small glimpse of her hollow mask. Blaze's eyes widened

flash back:

"So whats up with you today Shive, you've been acting weird lately bud." The human boy was backed into a corner and saluted.

Blaze stated to back away then regained his composure.

"Oh OK then its OK" Blaze replied.

[Azure_Ghidorah]

"Heh... Alright, I'm just gonna make this quick. Solranous, this here's Blaze. Blaze, meet Solranous, one of the strongest mortal beings to walk this Earth" Hollow Cynder said, gesturing with her tail blade. She had notice Blaze's expression, and was pretty certain he had seen her Hollow mask.

"I'll just be on my way, seeing as I've already done what I said I would do." she concluded, taking flight. Solranous just watched as she bolted off, and sighed, massaging his head.

"Sometimes I wonder..." he began, but trailed off. Solranous then looked at Blaze, deciding to wait for him to say something first.

[Blaze]

Blaze looked up at Solranous with a big toothy grin.

"So Whats up bud?" Blaze said happily
"What to do for fun around here?"

[Azure_Ghidorah]

Solranous arched an eyebrow.

"There is nothing 'fun' to do around here, because Fate seems to have a morbid sense of humor to interrupt fun things with world threating evil doers. I swear, my house has been damaged and repaired more times then I can be bothered to count."

Solranous sighed exasperatedly.

"I do hope your mind can endure madness. Because there is a hell of a lot of it in this world..."

The dragon then narrowed his eyes at Blaze, "As for 'what's up' I highly suggest that you think of another question to ask. The sheer complexity of the back-to-back situations that accour here boggle even my great mind. By the time I have managed to remember and explain every thing, it would like end tommorrow at this exact moment. Assuming nobody sleeps."

[Blaze]

Blaze smirked,"I want you to meet someone." his eyes turned from light grey to flat black.
His skin became a deeper shade of red and scars from previous encounters began to show, Blaze shows his second personality of pure evil and hate.

"You don't need to worry about my sanity, Ive killed off entire races from other planets, Ive seem my share of death and torture.
And by the way when Blaze reveilles me you can call me 'Eko.'
Blaze's eye reverted back to there grey tint and the scars faded.
"WHEW!?" Blaze coughed and shook his head "Aw crap what did he say?" Blaze said under his breath.
He looked back up to Solranous. "So Cynder wanted me to meet you for a reason, would you happen to know what that was?"

[Azure_Ghidorah]

"Right now, thats not important. What the HELL was that 'other you'?" Solranous growled, staring at Blaze in minor shock.

"And further more, just how long as this 'Eko' existed in your mind?" the emerald wyrm continued, use telekinesis to have a grip on Kizoku. He didn't want to take any chances if Eko suddenly came out again and decided to go on a killing spree.

The situation was rather dangerous, and Eko was reminding him WAY to much of his long since deceased Ruin Mode, which had been replaced by the 'Burst Mode' that was his Bankai.

[Blaze]

"What do you mean? Iv always had Eko, every time a situation comes up were as 'me, Blaze,' couldn't handle mentally and physically, Eko helps out."

Blaze smiled again.

"Its a spit personality thing, you'll understand when something bad happens."

Blaze calmly put his grasses back in his pocket.

"The down side is that he doesn't remember anything ether, about our past."

[Azure_Ghidorah]

"I don't need to see you in a bad situation to know what your talking about... I've already seen enough of Eko, and would rather never see him again. My friends, most notably Shive and Myrr, would understand the most." Solranous continued, still wary.

He did, however, tenitively release his grip on Kizoku.

"As for you memory problem... I do believe I can help you with that. Maybe not all of it, but bits and pieces at a time, which will eventually reform into the complete whole." the emerald wyrm continued. "This, I believe, is why Cynder led you to me."

[Blaze]

"What do you have in mind?"

Blaze asked curiously.

"Oh and do you have a place where I can clean up?"

The anthro looked down at his blood coved clothing,
his stomach then growled Louldy, Blaze looked up embarrassed.

"..And uh...Mabey some food please?"

[Azure_Ghidorah]

Solranous laughed,

"Sure... Just tread carefully around the house. My daughter has rigged the place left and right with various traps. Better yet, just let me lead the way. Make sure to follow my steps perfectly, one wrong step and you might wind up with a brick in your face."

He then walked towards the restroom that Blaze could use to clean the blood off of himself.

[Blaze]

Blaze followed closely behind Solranous, his eyes darting across the room wildly.

"U-uh, c-can we open a window or something." the nervous dragon chocked

"I don't do so well with enclosed areas."
