I think waiting for the island RPG to go into the golden age would take too long after all... It's better this way I guess We'll start off with HB's RP, since he was the one that had the original idea. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "My son... You have made me proud..." Dante stands there, looking down at his father, Jason, also known as HebrewB. He was lying in the hospital wing of the Dark SiDe castle, the only place Dante had been able to call home. "You really have... Dante... I love you... I did it, so that the Dark SiDe could be glorious... So you could be happy..." Dante stands still, looking down, the wounds his father had gained during his battle against the Light Side, in which he succeeded in killing most, if not, all of them. It was a testament to his strength, and to be related to this grand warrior was a tremendous honour for Dante, but a tear trickled from his eye, as he listened to his father speak. Dante was quiet, allowing Jason to talk uninterrupted. It was not known how much longer he could last. "Thus begins... The... Golden... Age..." At those words, HebrewB, the soldier, the father, the warrior who had defeated gods, the passionate family man, and the loyal head priest of the Dark SiDe, died. Dante wept bitterly, and began to mourn the loss of his father, and sat down by the body of a once-proud man. "It has... Dad..." Although it was hard to accept, Dante knew that following his father's demise, would be a time of celebration for the Dark SiDe, celebrating the triumph over the Light SiDe, and celebrating the life of the warrior who brought the conflict to an end. For Dante, however, there was only grief.

"Dark SiDers, this is the start of a new era! Nothing can stop us now, NO ONE can get in our way! All those years of fight and struggle did pay off! Each and every one of you has proven their worth, this one's to you, TO THE Dark SiDe!" Queen SD shouted at the top of her voice, so that she would be heard in the large hall they were all gathered in. Then she lifted up her glass with pineapple wine and all of them drank simultaneously, in an act of unity.
Samantha could not believe it. All the worries, all the tears, every drop of blood she had shed had been worth it. With the Light Side gone, the world was in their hands. She was now 43 years old, though looked as if she was still in her mid twenties. Time seemed to work differently on her, obviously because she was the chosen one by the power of the pineapple, but also thanks to the special bond she shared with Cho. The dragon was not a mare spirit guide; he was a part of her very soul, as much as her guardian angel, which made the Queen half spirit. What was strange though was that time had almost no effect on King Liam as well. Maybe, because we're so close, whatever's stopping me from aging works on him as well... Samantha had considered numerous times.
While everyone was celebrating, the Queen noticed that both Dante and Jason were missing. Think they're okay? HebrewB should have been healed by now... I wonder how he's doing she transferred to Cho. Before he could give a reply, a messenger walked in, scanning the room for the Queen. As soon as he spotted her, he ran up to her and handed over a note, then walked off without uttering a word. Queen SD quickly opened the note and read it.
"Shit..."
Cho... I have to see Jason... now... let's go... something's wrong...

Tundra looked around nervously.. "What the hell's going on??" She asked Cho, who was standing next to her. "I don't know but, I don't think it sounds very good..." He began to run after SD... "Wait for me!" Tundra fumed, she had been a big help in the war, and she wasn't going to stop now. "Grey, wait there!" She signalled to her dog, who snuggled down next to a radiator, the warmth soothing his old bones...

Dante hugged his older sister, and she hugged him too. Their warmth and grief were shared. They cried for the loss of a father, and for the loss of their mentor. He had taught them everything they knew, and had taught it well.
Aww... A touching moment...
Dante's eyes widened with shock.
What? Is a demon not allowed to leave his host after the host dies? You were closest, besides, I don't sense much good coming from your sister...

Tundra stumbled into the room, and was nearly sick. "No, no, no, no, no, no..." She fell into Cho's arms.. "NO!" She screamed, she pummelled Cho's chest, who just let her, stunned. "NO! It's not true! You CAN't you..." She sobbed and fell onto the floor, body disablled by her tears... Her whole frame shook as she wept for Hebrews death..she wouldn't accept it. "No...no..you're lying..no...stop..no..." She crawled over to Hebrew's bed, where he silently slept..like he was dreaming... She clutch his cold hands, and whispered.. "No...no you can't..please..please wake up..."

Cho held Tundra as she cried, he felt her grief and if his spirit essence would allow it, he would have shed tears as well.
"Hey... it's going to be okay..." he wiped away her tears one by one and kissed her lightly. It helped her calm down a bit, though tears still dropped from her eyes.
Queen SD kneeled by Jason's side. A knot down her throat made it hard to breathe, as the tears crowding in her eyes made it hard to see.
"Don't leave me Jason... please... not you..." she sobbed, like a small child that had lost its family. She held HebrewB's pale hand and sat there in silence, along with the other four. Had it been second, minutes, hours? She could not tell... That was when Liam walked in the room.
Samantha immediately shot up and ran to his arms, her tears soaking his shirt.
"Woah... what happened... Samantha...” he hugged her and looked around, noticing Jason lying on the bed. "No... it can't be..."
______________
What was supposed to have been a day of pride and glory for the Dark SiDe had been painted black with grief for the loss of their dear friend. No one laughed, no one smiled and few words were exchanged between the Dark SiDers...
"He was a great man, a great warrior, but above all, a great friend..." SD whispered to Cho, Liam and Tundra as they sat in the dinning hall, knowing that in that night's feast, HebrewB chair would be left empty...

Tundra sat, pale faced, at the table. She felt like part of her was missing. She was empty bar, the grief had left her hollow, no more tears. The only evidence of them ever being there were the red swollen marks around her eyes. They had achieved so much but, what was the point if they could not save their friends. Tundra swallowed, the constant lump in her throat choking her. Cho offered her his hand. She looked at him, but didn't see. She forced a fake smile...Cho was taken aback, Tundra had never faked anything, she was real but now he felt like they were all hiding, hiding from the truth. Tundra placed her hand in Cho's, but she didn't feel any warmth...

Dante was hit the hardest of all, except for Lindsay, his sister. She had locked herself in her room and refused to come out, even for the meal. Dante went down to the hall for the feast, to celebrate the start of the Golden Age, and to mourn the loss of his father.
The meal went by slowly, as just about everything does when somebody dies. Dante ate what was his favourite food, and it just tasted like cardboard. Nothing seemed right any more... Nothing. Even pineapple pizza seemed to turn to dust in his mouth. Still, he ate. He ate and ate, trying to fill the empty hole in his stomach, the emptiness caused by loss.

Liam was busy laughing and joking with fellow Dark SiDers when he noticed the Queen run out of the room. Herm... Whats happening? What could possibly be more important than celebrating? Something must be wrong... And with that he ran out of the room.
Liam could just about see Samantha run into HebrewB's room as he ran struggling to follow her. Why the hell is she going in there? As he barged in the room, he saw Tundra with her head buried in Cho's arms. Turning he saw Samantha kneeling on the floor, tears in her eyes.
She instantly saw him and ran into his arms. "Woah... what happened... Samantha...” Liam declared still confused. But it all fitted into place when he saw the lifeless body of HB lying peacefully in the bed. "No... it can't be..." He whispered as a knot formed in his throat. A wave of sadness and grief over too his body.
Struggling to keep on his feet , thoughts filled his head, some of pain, some of grief and even anger. Liam was unable to speak, he had tried, but all he could make was a pathetic groaning sound.
----
After they had left HB to remain peacefully in his room. They had all returned to the hall. But after they had shared the news with everyone, the room no longer was filler with laughter and joy, only with the painful silence.
No one spoke. No one smiled. It was like a piece of them had died, he wasn't only a loyal Dark SiDer, he was a loyal friend.
"He was a great man, a great warrior, but above all, a great friend..." Samantha quietly said to Liam, Tundra and Cho. Liam had half expected HB to make a witty comment, but the room remained quiet...

Chris sat down and ate slowly. In fact, he didn't even eat, he just moved the food from one side of his plate to the other. There was little that would make him not want to eat pineapple pie...
He had felt loss before. Being so much older, he's outlived some very close friends, and it hurt. He had gotten used to it by now, but he still felt that tiny tugging at his heart. Hebrew was a close friend of his, and it was hard for him to actually realize, he wasn't going to see him anymore...

Tundra turned to look at the others. They were feeling the same.
Lost.
She took a deep breath and stood up. This was going to be hard. "Come on now guys, lets try to pull ourselves together..." She trembled as she prepared herself for what she was going to say next. "You all know that Hebrew wouldn't have wanted us to wallow in our grief, he wasn't like that..." "His demon would have..." Dante muttered, then looked shocked that he'd said such a thing, like he wasn't completely in control. Tundra just glared. "So, what would he have wanted us to do?" She posed the difficult question to the remaining members.

"So, what would he have wanted us to do?"
And really, what would he have wanted us to do? Twilight was not yet able to think very clearly. The sudden grief was stunning.
"I think... " Twilight started, "He would have wanted us..." Twilight halted, almost reaching the thought... but couldn't: Dante had just said that...

Stefan had followed the croud into the hall though not very fast for he had sustained injury in the gretest war of time, except maybe the time war. but the sight he saw didn't match his thoughts. for there lying on the bed was HB, dead. "no!" he said gently and left instantly, he couldn't believe it, not now. they had gotten to be such great freinds n the war saving each other time and time again. this couldn't have happened, this was HB....

"He would've wanted us to celebrate the dawning of the Golden Age... His last words were that he wanted us to be happy... So, I propose a toast, to the man that has saved us all many times, and has shown nothing but love, friendship, and kindness. Way to go, dad..."
Dante stood up, and raised his glass of pineapple wine.
"To a fine warrior, and an even finer friend and father."

Tundra shook with grief but continued standing, and raised her glass.. "To HebrewB!" She called out, her voice resounding throughout the halls...
