"In all the years we ahve worked together, you have thought of me as a crazy fool." Drakeula said calmly, as he studied his figners. "We worked together for what, over a century or two? WEll, I new you had alter motives, by your own words, Set your own goals higher than others."
HE stood up and motioned to teh other vamipires with a wave of an arm.
"THey had the right to hear it fro you. Especially Iko. She loved you with all of her ehart. She off all of them had the most right to hear it from you." HE said calmly. "WEll, they heard it finally, so as a thanks to you from me, I'll have no say in what happens to you."
WIth that, he sat back down calmly.
In the Engineering Room, Iko spun around as she heard teh door open and closed. Her eyes had flames in them, but they calmed down and lowered, when she saw Raven. She turned and sat on a bench an dlooked at teh ground.

Nosferretu looked down at the ground guiltily, collecting icy stares from the others aroun him, including Kremmen.
"Iko," Raven began gently, sitting down beside her. "You said you wanted to speak to me."

Fang looked around at the others.
"Now I don't have a freggin clue what you are planning and it doesn't involve me, normally. It does involve me on two factors though." He said as he stood beside Noseferretu.. "The first is that this old ferret is a back stabbing SOB, but he did come out here to hear what you have to say. I understand that he betrayed you and was going to sell you out. HEll, he is the one who made me what I am, but I always made sure he knew my opinion of him. Second, he is also the only one who knows the most about Purgatori. Now let's quit the icy glares and get teh verbal bull over with."
Iko looked up at Raven and her eyes watered.
"Does Fang treat you good? How does he truly treat you?" She whispered. "What does it feel like to truly have someone love you?"

"But even with the know-how, we still don't have the strength to deal with her." murmured Captain Kremmen, scratching his beard.
"Fang treats me like a friend," Raven answered. "Every time we try to have an intimate moment, either something else comes up or he keeps me at arms' length,"
She paused for a moment. "I only wish that he really knew what I thought of him, but after what happened with Bodgers, I don't know if I can love anymore."

"Have you ever watched an ant colony protect itself?" Fang asked as he walked over to his seat. "They have the knowledge of how, but are weak. Yet, they do protect their colony quite well."
Iko looked up surprised.
"I thought Fang would have been like a knight in shining armor, like the old tales of Warren Knights." SHe said quietly. "I can see it in his eyes when he looks at you without his visor."
She is silent for a few seconds and looked at Raven.
"Raven, don't give up on love. It is what keeps us seperate from mindless animals. I held onto love for over a century and it kept me going at times of darkest suffering." Iko said and looked at the rope on the ground. "Though it seemed the target of my love was only pertending."
She reacehd down nad picked up the rope.
"I wonder if death would be the final peace i am looking for, since i can't find love." She whispered as she tied the rope into a noose without thinking.

"Good point," Kremmen nodded. "But does that mean that we should gather our numbers?"
Raven gently placed a hand over Ikos', gently pulling the rope away.
"Death is the cowards' way out," she explained. "You will find love, but it is all a case on looking in the right place. I always wanted to marry a soldier when I was a girl, and I have found happiness with Fang. If your love is not with Nosferretu, then surely it must be waiting somewhere in the Aniverse for you to find it."

"OUr numbers don't equal enough to match up as ants. We need more troops. This Naga realm that Raven mentioned would be a good spot or even the forces of IO would be another good spot." Fang said calmly.
Iko looked up at Raven
"Marry a soldier? You have a Knight waiting on you and you wanted to settle for a soldier?" SHe asked quietly. "At least you're not an undead and people aren't afriad of you, because of what you feed on."

"I'm starting to wish that we still had contact with Star Corps," Kremmen muttered. "And my crew are the only survivors of that forgotten relic."
"Fang feeds on the same as you, but he is able to resist it, surely you could find love with someone besides an undead," Raven ventured. "Fang is a vampire, but that isn't the reason why I love him. If word gets out that you, Lady Ikorene, defeated the living embodiment of evil, then you'll be forgiven on some, if not all, crimes you committed in the past."

"This is the present, not the past." Fang muttered.
"Fang is only half vampire. Something stopped the curse from taken full grip on him." Iko said looking at Raven. "As for my crimes, I could single handedly stop the toad war and there would still be those who want to see my skin on the wall.

"I know," Kremmen nodded. "Don't tell me it's illegal to reminisce in the future, is it?"
"True," Raven nodded. "But supposing you were to use your powers to do good in the world, as well as under a false name so as not to arouse suspicion?"
"The mammals haven't been doing to well on Warren, why not try and help them out by making things difficult for the Toads?"

"Illegal? NOt as far as i know, Helpful, not unless thinking of how to date someone." Drakeula chuckled.
Iko lowered her ehad and sighed.
"I wouldn't know the first thing of being a good guy. I've lived with corruption and evil for so long, it is what i am now." SHe said quietly.

Kremmen failed to see what was so funny, and just stayed quiet.
"But mercenaries and bounty-hunters live a life of crime, but are given a new lease of life in exchange for amnesty from their criminal past." Raven pointed out.

Fang just shook his head and kept an eye on the controls.
Iko nodded slowly and looked at Raven.
"SO where would i start at?" SHe asked quietly, "ANd if you love him so much, then why don't you tell him?"

"You could try and become a bounty hunter; capturing Toads for the Mammals rather than slaying them if you see what I mean,"
Raven then lowered her head.
"I have tried to tell him, but every time we do, he pushes me away or makes up a job for me to do."

Iko looked at Raven and nodded.
"He is afriad of teh Hunger. It would kill him if he were to feed on you, becuase it would make you an Undead and he seems to love you to much to sse that. He knows that if you become one, he would end up having to hunt you." Iko explained. "You need to show him and don't take any excuses from him. SHow him you are not afriad and you can protect yourself from him if the Hunger rises again. Besides, don't think i haven't watched him from afar."
SHe smiled at Raven and teh tips of her fangs stuck out slightly.
