Madison seems satisfied with their progress and decides to leave them to it. She returns to her lab."It is, isn't it?" Kevin replies, also smiling. Soon, others begin to arrive. They're all wearing what Kevin is, but their masks are all the same, marking them as grunts. Deadly, killer grunts, but grunts nonetheless.

In a few minutes, a clone arrives at her lab.
"Madam....we've hit a problem...." He says.

---

"Should I have a mask?" The clone asks.

Soon, the female clone that had helped him before walks in, and smiles."Your blood did help. If you want you can see someone you helped....if, you feel up to it." She says.

Could this be a new purpose? Could this be... forgiveness? "Yes." He gave her his hand. "Please show me?"

She gently leads him over to an area marked hazardous, and though a window he can see some children playing with some blocks.
"In a few days, they'll be able to go back to their families thanks to you." She says. One of the kids runs over to the window, and waves. The clone waves back.

"What problem?" She asks, looking up from her work.

Kevin looks at him and thinks. "Well... you don't have to, but if you want you can." Kevin replies.

[Wraithblade6]

Eclipse stares in disbelief. A tear breaks from his yes and he gasps... breaks into a smile and laughter. He places his hands against the glass. He could sense truth. His blood had saved these children. The color begins to return to his flesh, and he looks more alive and real than ever. Collapsing in joy to his knees he lifts his arms. "Praise the goddess, holy and glorious Iomedae! Thank you! Thank you. You have saved me." The angel wraps his arms around the clone and kisses him on the cheek. "Bless you friend. I belong to her once again. My gratitude and loyalty, forever! I swear it."

Just at that moment, the lights darken and time seems to freeze. The sound of shattering glass breaks the sudden silence, as the very space explodes into fragments of itself, revealing a black portal. Night itself enters the room, black feathers falling to the floor. Skeletal hands raise a scyth. Without hesitation, Death bears down in Eclipse.

"Some of the clones have begun to develop genders." He says.

"....I don't understand..." It says.

Reacting reflexively, the clone woman pushes Eclipse out of the way and cowers, expecting to be cleaved apart,

"..." Madison raises and eyebrow. "How is that a problem? I have no problem with this..."

"Well, do you want to wear the mask?" Kevin asks, giving the man a questioning look.

((rp?))

((rp?))

((Yep.))

[Wraithblade6]

Death pulls back briefly, shifts his scyth into one arm, then throws the clone out of the way with the other.

Eclipse rises up and tries to reason with him. "No wait! Things have changed. Don't!" He barely manages to pull his sword and block one attack.

The horrid angel spins and impales Eclipse to the ground, blood pours onto the floor beneath him. Remorseless, Death reaches over him, tearing out his soul.

kishin asura said
I nod "good idea..."

((Let's do this.))

[kishin asura]

((....well?....))

[Wraithblade6]

((do what now?))

[Wraithblade6]

Voiceless. Merciless. The sounds of glass shattering happen in reverse. The lights flicker. The angels are gone.

A small amount of blood remains on the floor, but otherwise... the feeling that "none of this ever happened" is absolutely sickening.

When death attempts to impale Eclipse, something stops it. Or, someone. A large hulking figure, standing almost ten feet tall, clad in kingly robes. He has a long beard, his facial hair brown. His hair on his head however, is a bright white.
"You will keep your boney grip off of him reaper. Or you will face my wrath." The man growls.

"Hehehe." Tsuvaki chuckles at the compliment.
((forgot where we were.))

[Wraithblade6]

Sparks fly as Death's blade clangs off whatever stopped it. The black angel faces the large being with the odd hair colors.

Eclipse falls backwards, still holding onto his sword, still slowed from the loss of his powers and the fairly recent bloodloss. He looks at the royally dressed man. "Whoever you are, you must be a God." He looked back to the reaper, who was extending a hand toward the interferer, sensing him with some kind of magic. "Part of me is mortal, friend. If he doesn't take me now, he will eventually. But I don't want it to be like this. Not now..." Eclipse dipped his head. "Goddess spare me."

Death, for a guy with no face, seemed fairly pissed off.

"I am no god. Simply a man who will not let a good man die, for some petty reason. If you wish to take him, you will have to fight me first." He growls, as he draws a sword made from what looks like normal iron.

[Wraithblade6]

Getting up, Eclipse couldn't believe this. "There is no fighting against THAT angel, friend. I'm not worth fighting for, but I have been given an... 'extension.'" Eclipse looked at Death, who was a full-angel, and eternal. He was right. "Not today." He told him.

Death stood and crossed his arms over his chest before the sound of glass shattering came again, reversed, and he was gone.

The half-angel heaved the biggest sigh of relief. "You can't hate him. He's only doing his job. Good sir, who risked his life for me. Please tell me your name. I owe you a debt."
