Two more chapters, at most -- probably -- today. Probably gonna be a short one
 
CHAPTER NINE:
Old Feelings and Isolation

Van Pyrrhus needed to find a hideout. The sun's rays would burn his green hide -- turning it into a jaundiced yellow color. That part would eventually collapse into sulphurous powder.  He would be able to regenerated, but he'd need to feed more in order to accomplish such.  So he didn't want it to happen.
 
He found an old playhouse.  He could quite literally taste the old feelings this place had wrought, it fed him as if he were taking fifteen minute sips of a juice box.  It was dark, secluded, the perfect place in which to spend the days, to rest and sleep.
 
Van Pyrrhus didn't dream, not in the conventional sense.  He just relived the emotional memories of those that he feasted upon. His mind has an extensive library of such memories.  Memories of hate, greed, fear, stubbornness, hope, compassion, and love. Memories of gluttony, lust, avarice, pride, wrath, sloth, and envy.  Memories of chastity, temperance, charity, diligence, patience, kindness, and humility -- even though some of those may not be considered emotions.
 
He relished these "dreams", they were all he had when he was in that stupid little box.  They were all he had to pass the years, the centuries, the millenia that had gone by with him crammed into the stupid little box.  The thought of the incarceration again simultaneously chilled him and riled him.
 
***

Cloak returned to RAF, and the meeting had finally adjourned.  They were apparently unaware of Cloak's little excursion to the city, unaware of his confrontation of Van Pyrrhus. Cloak looked up and saw the communciations tower -- which resembled an air traffic controller's tower -- and knew that Yarin would have been able to see him leaving the forum.  He left on foot and had not Walked to the the city. Such precision in a universe was unheard of . . . except for . . . Shadow. Even now, it pained Cloak to think of her, how she had been cruelly ripped from him due to his mother's machinations.
 
"Cloak, are you alright?" Saffa asked.
 
"I'm fine," Cloak said repressively.
 
"That's not gonna fly Cloak," Aquilai said. "What happened?"

"I told you what happened."
 
<You only told us that Van Pyrrhus did not feed on you.> Noelle pointed out. <There is much more you left out.>

"Yes, and we'd like an answer, too." Richard said, upon arriving.

Now, last chapter of the day. Dunno if I can get five chapters up tomorrow.

CHAPTER TEN:
Clash of Egos

"Why did you go out on your own?" Richard asked. There was no hostility in his tone or gestures. It was just a question that he genuinely wanted an answer to.

Cloak couldn't just disregard the question put that way. He haunched his shoulders in a surly way -- although it just had the effect of a naughty teenager who had been caught sneaking out.

"Cloak, I'd really appreciate an answer," Richard pressed. "Surely, you were aware of the risks, the potential danger? Even you inferred susceptibility to the emotion vampire's effects."

"Got tired of waiting for action to be taken," Cloak said, and he hated the defensive tone in his voice.

<I've just about have had it with your loner act, pal.> Esplin flared up.

Cloak narrowed his eyes dangerously mutinous, "I go where I want to go."

Esplin was about to retort, but Richard held his hand up, signaling his silence.

"Be that as it may," Richard said, "the point is that it was quite reckless. What if it managed to feed on you? What if it killed you?"

Cloak wasn't about to back down at this, "No less than ten people were attacked this night. Three of them were children! Sitting around in hysterics will accomplish nothing!"

"What other choice do we have? No one here is immune." SuperNate said, in a stab to be reasonable.

"It is heliosensitive. Just like Madre de Vampyra. Estelore --"

"-- Is currently investigating the Omicron Persei star system." Phoenix pointed out.

Cloak realized what he learned was essentially useless information. He felt crestfallen but angrily defiant.

"Still," he insisted, "this proves that it is not an invincible juggernaut as once thought! He has vulnerabilities."

Richard's eyes widened a bit, "You're right about that, I suppose. But the fact of the matter remains, only one without emotions stands a chance against that monster."

Then the mods left.

Eh, I wouldn't do that. GameFreak can be a bit of a douche sometimes (I understand why they're drawing it out, but that doesn't mean that I have to like it).

Now, a shortish chapter.

CHAPTER ELEVEN:
The One Without Emotion

"A being without emotions," Cloak said aloud from his thread sometime later, "is it even possible? All sentient, sapient beings feel, even if they suppress it, like I do."

Cloak paced around his thread, thinking on this. Pondering a solution. But he couldn't concoct one without a RAFian sacrificing themselves, and he would only take his own life so lightly.

"The one," Cloak repeated again, "the one without emotion . . ."

A machine? No, you can only program so much into an artificial construct without having the machine becoming self-aware and sentient -- and, yes, having emotions themselves, therefore defeating the entire purpose.

"The one . . ."

The notion came back to Cloak, as if to appeal its case once more, but Cloak soundly dismissed it. It couldn't have been that simple.

". . . Without emotions. . . ." Cloak muttered again.

The notion popped up again, refusing to be silenced. It was like the grating voice of a certain YouTube "star". Incessant and persistent. Cloak disregarded it once more as he considered other, less extreme ideas. Granted the notion wasn't as extreme as uncloaking -- which wouldn't work because it would require a relatively close proximity to work without damaging this realm. But this persistent notion was extreme, and dangerous.

The dangerous and extreme nature of it did not make it really truly viable. Yet it would not leave him be.

For he, and the more senior RAFians knew of a being that could be described as without emotions, that is rabidness perdonified, in a way. But the danger was to great . . . too great.

And Cloak wasn't sure it would even work . . . and Horse would never approve of such an idea. . . .

But . . . if it worked . . . would that justify the risk? It coul very well be a PR nightmare, and there's the Knights of Humanity always waiting for an opportunity to abuse their reputations . . .

Whatever happens, it would be he, Cloak, to bear the responsibility. It would be his burden to bear. . . .

Eh, with the posting of the last chapter, I think it would be a bit obvious -- but, then again, everything is obvious to a writer of a piece.

Probably a short chapter.

CHAPTER TWELVE:
Interview With A Ninja

"Don't you already know all this?" Blue had said.

"I must be sure, Blue." Cloak said. "I must be sure of its backstory, it was before my time here. I must be sure I'm not neglecting to remember anything relevant."

"Well, let's see," Blue said tapping his chin thoughtfully. "It was born from Toc, Anna, and Ken -- let's not get into the specifics -- and quickly grew to be a bloodthirsty monster."

"You're glossing over things," Cloak pointed out.

"I don't pretend to be the expert on the Pootang, Cloak," Blue said, "but this is the extent of my knowledge of the matter. You can take it or leave it."

"Acknowledged," Cloak relented, "please, continue."

"Well, the Pootang became a big problem," Blue said, "so it was capture in the monstrous enclosed paddock below."

Then Blue looked at Cloak with a suspicious glint in his eye, "But, just why do you want to know."

Cloak hesitated just a second too long before remarking, "Just . . . an idea."

"You think the Pootang is incapable emotion, don't you?"

"I didn't say that," Cloak replied a second too quickly.

The sun was now beginning to wane. Soon, its rays of the star Sol would not be an obstacle to Van Pyrrhus.

He would feed again, and more lives would be lost, because a living being's emotions could not be excised from them anymore than their free will could. They could be suppressed, intensified, minimized, or manipulated, just like free will, but not separated without severe detrimental effects.

Van Pyrrhus quite literally slept on his feet, resting his weight on his tail and his two feet.

As the shadows grew longer, his red-yellow eyes began to open groggily.

Now another chapter.

CHAPTER THIRTEEN:
Feeling Gourmet

As the last few rays of sun faded into darkness, Van Pyrrhus stoof up straight, stretched, and yawned an inhuman yawn, contorting his face into one that would turn Medusa into stone. He scratched himself in a most inappropriate way, as he smacked his chapped lips.

"Time for some breakfast," he said, as he left his sleeping quarters. He saw immediately that this night he didn't have the luxury of fog to obscure his movements.

Didn't matter, though. He knew of humans pathetic night vision -- or lack there of. He'd just have to stay out of the artificial light hives -- that's what he thought streetlights were, bioluminescent bee hives.

He lurked in the shadows of an allyway, waiting for his first victim of the night.

He was fortunate -- there were two.

"Dude, the streetlights are coming on! My dad's gonna kill me!" a red-haired tweenager said.

"Then enough talking, and ride, dude. Ride like the wind." his fellow, a blacked-haired peer, said.

"Man, I'm gonna be so gr--"

The sentence was abruptly cut off as Van Pyrrhus chose that moment to strike. His hand was clamped firmly down on the boy's mouth as he fed on the terrified boy's emotions.

But his fellow noticed his friend's sudden disappearance, and thoughts of parental punishment, while not forgotten, given a lower priority.

"Tim? Tim? Where are you,Tim?" he said, having only seen his friends Schwinn.

It was at this point that Van Pyrrhus, discarding Tim's mummified remains aside like an apple core or orange rinds, that Van Pyrrhus wished that he could mimic voices perfectly like those Cyclops he heard about before he was incarcerated in that blasted cube.

But he just waited for the other boy, Bruce, to investigate. Just a little closer . . .

"Tim! We don't have time to screw around!"

. . . A little closer . . .

"Tim!"

. . . A little more . . .

"Tim?"

Just a tad more . . .

"Aaaah! You're definitely not Tim!" Bruce screamed, as Van Pyrrhus seized him. Soon, too soon, he met the same fate as Tim.

Discarding Bruce's mummified shell like Tim's, he licked his lips and muttered, "Yummy."

But these two innocent boys weren't going to be the only victims tonight.
