Was It Always This Way? ( Not Accepting )

Nuti growled seeing him trying to walk around so she scooped him back up and kept walking. "I could have just absorbed it." She said simply and struggled slightly to keep him in his arms. "Your staying in my arms right now. It kinda grosses me out yo see your leg like that anyways." Looking down at him she smirked lightly and then looked ahead. Nuri spotted G in the middle still concentrating and her body glow ing. "It seems like it. We're cut out."

Raven wrapped his arms around her neck and sighed, " My knight in shining armor... And oops. I couldn't hear you. " He laughed, " Oh well. " He sighed and looked over at G, " Okay... At least it's providing protection. " He shook his head, " Don't bother her though. My leg doesn't need to be healed now. " He closed his eyes. Rachelle ran up and came panting next to them. " Alright... I see no one has died... Good good. " She wiped her forehead, " We've destroyed the first wave... The second is behind the walls. So I'd take a rest until that shield holds out. Then it's back to business. There's only two waves but if we don't get the message across that they need to leave us alone. I can say we will have more wars in the future... We have to tell them that it's useless trying to kill us. I don't care what you say but you two are the leaders of the island so everyone is depending on you two to figure something out so they won't attack us again! " She pulled her hair. " So think of a speech. " She muttered. Ravens eyes opened, " a speech?! You think I'm good with words? " He snorted.
" You are a poet. "
" A poet for my feelings. "
" Great tell them how you feel for damaging your home and shooting up Nuri. Look at her... She's got bullets in her heart. " Rachelle waved at poor Nuri and Raven only just noticed. " Nuri. Put me down. I won't walk. Just. " He growled and pushed her away, flopping on his back on the ground. " ... " Raven laid on his back silently, rubbing his face. " Rachelle... The humans... " He groaned. Rachelle shook her head, " Just deal with them you two. "

Nuri chuckled softly then looked up seeing Rachelle. "Alright but how are we going to just approach them without getting shot at. When they see Ravens condition they'll think were weak and just take us out on the spot.' Her eyebrow arched and she sighed when raven fell out of her arms. "Your incredibly stubborn I hope you realize that." She said looking down at him and crossed her arms over her ches .

" I do~ " He sang sleepily and closed his eyes. Rachelle thought, " Well the shields up... They can hear you through the shield right? Then speak to them through the shield, and they can't harm you. " She smiled. Raven flinched and lifted up his shirt to see if he was shot at all, once in the side, a bullet grazed his upper ribcage, and one in his shoulder. " Oh lovely. " Was all he said and lazily put his shirt down before closing his eyes again, " Yeah but Rachelle... I mean Nuri... Wait. " He opened his eyes and looked at both of them, " Yeah you. " He pointed at Nuri, " Nuri has a point. "
" You mean me? "
" ... Rachelle has a point. "

Nuri looked down at Raven. "You sure your okay? Should we get G to heal you? I can create the wall of fire as shes doing it." She suggested then looked over at Rachelle and nodded. "I guess we can do that. How are we going to lead them over here to talk?" Since Rachelle seemed to know the future and all the answers it probably would be better to ask her.

[LokiToons]

" No no. I'll live. " Raven sighed, placing a hand on his forehead, " Rachelle said rest... So why don't you sit down? " He asked. Rachelle cracked her fingers, " Okay Raven sorry but not you two. You gotta go talk with them. And Nuri, what's this about leading them here to talk? The shield is surrounding this island with the humans outside on the beach, just walk down and stand inside the safe zone and lecture. Don't lead them straight here to the village... It's suicide. " She muttered and pointed, " The general of this army is that way. Ask to speak with him and then get your point across. " She shrugged, " Easy? Easy. " She smiled. Raven sat up and sighed softly as he attempted to stand up, taking a long three minutes to actually stand up straight, refusing help. He brushed himself off and sighed, " Cmon... " He waved a hand and limped towards Rachelles destination. Raven used his sword as an ' extra ' leg to get there. Limping upon the human crowd that were firing as soon as Raven appeared, but the shield was strong and protected him. He stabbed his sword in the ground and leaned on it, glaring at the humans, " I'd like to speak with your general... " He called out breathlessly and some of the humans began to laugh. Other looked nervously towards the back, and some were still firing. Ravens patience was already wore down and his temper was built up, " I DEMAND to speak with your General. Now STEP FORTH! " He snarled and the humans finally fell silent. A rather tall but thick older man stepped in, his clothing covered in badges and shining decor. His white hair and mustache were combed nearly and he carried a single pistol, and was unhurt, clean and rich beyond compartments. He eyed the bleeding fool behind the shield and snorted with disapproval, " A lowly community pest come to speak with me... Stand up straight boy. And speak clearly. You look like a waste of my time. " He called through the shield. Raven did as he was told and planted his dead leg into the earth, his body shaking against his blade, " What you are doing here is wrong... " Raven began and the general puffed his spout, unamused, " Killing you pests? No my boy. It's right. The human race is superior and for far too long we have kept you a space to live... It is nice we even lent you a place... Well the world is the humans, we are most populated and we are always in demand. Money doesn't come easy and this war provides just the thing we need. More of it. Now when your protective layer dies I'll pay you my respects and you won't feel a thing from my pistol. All this is a waste of time... I suggest you run and hide, or maybe stand there mockingly until the clock gives way for us... " The general grinned, " It was nice knowing you boy. Fool. But please understand its for the best. " He shrugged.

Amber took out the knife "let's kill some b***hes" she snarled

Allarie sighed "Mars please...I love you and I dobt want to see you like this. ..Uf you need blood just take it from me " she pleaded

[LokiToons]

Jay frowned. " Amber not you too... " He grabbed her arm, " No... I can't risk losing two important family members in one day... " He whined.

( This needed to be split for Raven, I'm not leaving you behind Cue, it would have just been too long. )

Raven narrowed his eyes on the General, pressing his palms into the sword with a slight growl. " And if you would just give me the chance to speak... You might be surprised. " He muttered and stood straight, taking a few breaths as the General eyed the winged boy, a smirk appearing, " Fine... I'll listen to what you have to say... " He kept his hand on the pistol. Raven took a deep breath and began. " You humans think you are superior... And I once thought we were the superior ones. Born with mutations and growths that seperate is from you. The thing is we are both wrong... Everyone has thought about this all wrong. Us and you. " Raven glanced at the sand, " Everything has an equal value. Every living thing. When I went to butcher our deer, I could see its fear in its eyes... You can see yourself in their place. Everything that we stand on, everything that you've all fought for, it's been against your own people. Look around you sir. Count how many people have different hair color, eye color, skin color... Don't you see? We are the same as you. " Raven explained, " If you count my fingers... I have five like you. I have eyes and a nose and a mouth and hair and I'll eventually grow a mustache like yours. Not really. " He thought and he heard the general himself crack a laugh, not a mean one, a thoughtful one, his eyes had glistened and opened up to respect Raven a bit more. " The only thing different about us is our powers... And I know you humans fear us for that. Like a dark sorcerer with magic, it's different and it's frightening and when someone is frightened they do things they shouldn't have. " Raven frowned, " I'll admit I was very scared in my childhood, and because I was treated the way I was, I was scared of being hurt, so I hurt everyone else. Like you humans. You are scared we would kill you all first, so you've started killing us first... And I understand that. " He looked around at the crowd and they stared back, listening intently. Raven shifted himself, his hands growing weak from gripping the sword. " B-But I have to tell you... It's not required anymore... " He looked at the General who stared concerned back at him. " You don't have to kill us to be rich... We are innocent. We have children... We have family, wives, husbands, friends... Pets... We live just like you sir... We work and eat and communicate... General. " He looked at him with weakness in his eyes, his hands slipping from the sword. " We are all united under equality. We are all family if we come to accept eachother. " Raven looked up, " It's taken me two years to finally see it. I can't thank my sister, my wife, my wonderful sister in law, my father, my friend and her boys, my stupid neighbor and his wife and unborn child enough... They've given me so much... " His voice was faint, his arms wrapping around himself, " We are all monsters. All of us. And one monster to another... Will you accept my k-kindest... Apology... " He slipped off his sword and landed in the sand, his hands pressed into his chest and side. The general was crying with realization and he pressed himself against the shield, having no words. He shook his head, " Stand up straight boy! " He called, trying to get him up, this extraordinary winged boy, dying of human bullets and a twisted past come to light. Ravens wings draped over him and crumpled against his back and the sandy floor, blood soaking the earth below him. The general and the other men stared with tears in their eyes as the winged boy, now a man in their eyes died on the sandy beach of the island.

[LokiToons]

Jay stared at her and shook his head slowly, " A-Amber... " He whined.
