Skiv stared at him coldly and the sand stopped whirling around.
"It depends how free is he going to be, I know how you're type makes deals."

The car hit herakals mech making it stumble and cuase a short electrical surge, but after a few moments it ended allowing the mech to move again.
Herakal then pressed button allowing his vocie to speak out through a speaker on the Mechs head.
"Why are you running Kat, You claim to be strong enough to take me"
War smiled" as free as an bird boy. Well you question me so how about this deal. I'll be blunt either you and that witch become heroes for about an year and your dad is free.Last offers off since you think you know me so well. I'm not like my brother. I keep my deals."War tugged on the chain yanking Skiv's dad back causing him to fall."Here boy. It's dinner time" The skinless beast walked closer toward Skivs dad."After an year I'll give you power to fight these heroes also. I don't think your wife wants to be trapped what is it.Six years?"
Kat looked at the Mech." I can with the power of love. You have hate. I may not be like you but if our parents choose us two to lead the mother planet and the earth ferals then I'm pretty close to you"
Skiv let out a low growl.
" i think you misunderstood him being free by free i meant not under you but not here either. I want him to have a just peace in his death not a tool for you. But why would you even have us be heroes at all"
--
Herakal made his mech stop and look down at her, he then began luaghing loudly
"How the hell, can the power of Love defeat me?"
War shook his head." My dear boy he wouldn't be under me nor Deaths control. Why you ask. Come an bit closer."*WHY. Jordan and Hero High must play! First I must trust you before I tell you the plan. But remember it is for his freedom.*Wars booming mental voice echoed ." Now stand back" An portal opened up showing what kinda of pain his dad had endured so far.
Kat smiled "Like this"that chunk of rock that she had earlier tossed aside was now making impact with the mech windshield.
Skiv began becoming angry he tightly gripped his pole arm. He then blinked his all blue eye, and a large hand formed in the sand by the skinless beast and grabbed it, pulling it under the sand. Skiv then turned away from the portal and looked to Harkin
"What should we do"
---
The rock crashed through the windshield and struck Herakal and the the entire cockpit causing the mech to fall onto its back. Herakal then pushed the rock off of him causing it to fly up into the air and landing next to the mech. He then walked out of the mech and and slammed his palm to his head.
"Now look what've you've done, you've destroyed the controls." A blur appeared and he was right infront of Kat.
"I ought to smash your skull right now" he grolwed loudly at her
Kat looked at him with fear."Like you did countless others. Well I've got news for you. I'm not gonna let you just hit me for free anymore. I know your not gonna just let me leave."Kat looked into his eyes"One of us are gonna get hurt or die trying"Kat grabbed his neck and slammed him into the top of an mail box."I'm sick of you! You think you can just walk around an boss me around! Well I don't see an ring."She pulled an parking meter out of the ground an swung it into his back."What! What! Never had an female stand up to you! Or do you think because I'm an feline you can win.I hate to tell you this but I'm no little cat"
Harkin frowned and looked sadly up at what was Skiv's 'dad.' She sighed and closed her eyes for a moment, thinking things carefully through before opening her eyes and slowly begging to pick her way through what she wanted to say. "Love... I think you're being tricked... I think he's pulling a fast one on you. I doubt that is your father. Your father wouldnt let anything like that happen to him... Besides.. I'd face 6 years for you if I had to." She smiled weakly. "I did it before, I can do it again... I refuse to be a hero."
"Oh witch this is no trick. As I told you have the souls of many. Like shall I say that girl in the crib.Would you like to see her? What about your mother.I enjoy her roasted flesh.It's so weak to my fire but so powerful."Several of Herkins people faces seemed to push out of wars face.Never huh! oh well back to the pit you go mage/healer" War opened the protal once more. and pushed Skivs father into the lowest pit of all
~Night guys~
Harkin's eyes widened. She was able to pick out her husband's face. She could hear little Angel's cry. For a moment she was frozen with shock. But soon she shook it off and took a step towards War's throne. "Wait!... Please wait.. Before you put Skiv's father back let us talk about it.. I want to speak with him before we decide." She bowed her head in respect for War. "This is all I ask of you. Just grant us this."
Wars souless cold eyes glanced over at Harkin for an moment."Talk! I've said what I must. Now you may speak. Know that the offer still stands."
As Jordan was preparing to attack War stopped him" Not yet brother."
Kat stumbeled back an bit from the pressure of the heavy kick.It sure did hurt like hell but right now she had to win this fight or atleast draw."I was always one. Just not an cold one"Kat ran toward him as she got close as slide between his legs while grabbed on one of the legs an pulling as she reached the other side cuasing him to flip over.
Harkin nodded and looked over at Skiv. "What do you think? Is that your father? It all comes down to what you want to do. My people are gone. There are too many to spare, and its time for me to finally put them in the past. But there are two that I wish to save. So I'm going to ask for them to be freed... But do you want to fight that man Jordan to free your father?"
Harkin winced at his words and sighed heavily. She spun on her heels and looked up at War. "Yes... My child and my husband.. I want you to free them. I dont care what I have to do for this to be done, just as long as you keep your word. And being a hero doesnt matter to me. It's either that or teaching them."
"Come up her my child."He said as his four foot claw like figner beckoned her to walk closer to the thorne."Now sigh this contract stating that I must free your child and husband within 24 hoursof the time that you become to become an hero or teach them and that you will not lay an hand on any of them till I say so,but if you go back on this deal I'll take the living child within you and both of them back.... Wait you have Skiv girl! Why free your husband?"
Harkin rolled her eyes and glanced over the contract. "Because he's dead numb skull. And if he were to come back that would just be disgusting. Besides... I've made my choice and I want to stay by Skiv's side... So a hero huh?... Well I guess that could work..." She held onto the contract and looked back at Skiv, wondering if he wanted her to do this or not."
"Hey witch! Thats Sir to you! By the way I don't have an skull which implies that I have bones.My bones as you would call them are something else than those things that are rotting inside of you."He noticed how she was waiting for skivs approval."Must you always wait on an man to tell you what to do.Don't you have an brain of your own oh but look whatI'm talking to. an witch. The lowest of all those who can weild magic. After he gives you the ok and the both of you sign this then we can talk about how to beat these worms.I'll give you both the power to crush them under your heel.I myself can't.He won't let me and now that you've been fighting Jorzen or Jordan as called they'll be after you."
Herakal was flipped over and laded on his face hard, causing his nose to bleed, but he began laughing as began to stand up.
"Why do you continue, why do you fight a foe that you don't have the power to kill" he then licked the blood off.
--------------
Skiv stood still thinking when then shook his head and tunred the other way and began to walk off.
"Do what you want Harkin, but i'm not wasting my time with this guy." he waved his hand backwards and began to walk away from them
