Suddenly, Heater stopped talking. Then......."I'm going to go see what's taking Mal." Then, he went toward where Mal was.

“What’s the matter?” Hyede asked almost completely innocently. “What? Don’t like being seen for all of recorded history? He’s probably just fixing some tea or something. He wouldn’t leave us alone with the baby without telling us he was going somewhere and I seriously doubt he used that crystal without us, he knows I’d pound his face in for leaving us behind.” Hyede chuckled.

Suddenly, Heater stopped. "Brandon.....He's on Earth....In the tundras......" Then, suddenly, he ran toward the front door, went out the front door, then, took off for the tundras.

Feeling the same twinge of energy, Hyede got up and was about to leave when he remembered that the baby was alone. He also could not make an appearance yet as it would spoil their plans if Heater was not successful in dealing with Brandon. And so with little else to do, Hyede sat back on the couch, switched on the television and stayed with the kid.

Malachi soon returned to the living room where Hyede was now watching the television, keeping Nissa company during her slumber. He sat the lemonade pitcher and glasses down on the table and poured himself a glass, offering his friend one. If he nodded then Malachi would pour it and hand it to him. If not then he'd set it down on the table and take his seat. "I know where Heater's at....and Brandon, too....although....it seems odd for him to be so far North. I do recall him telling me about an important structure up there, though. Perhaps he went to search the archives again, eh?"

“Thank you.” Hyede replied in response to the offer of a drink.
“Yeah, Heater bulked up somehow and then took off. As for Brandon, I think the blighter is trying to goat us into a premature attack. Or perhaps lour you away from you house to try and either take me back or ever do something as despicable as take the baby. In either case I’m a little sick that I can’t go up there personally. You see, after we discovered the place and Brandon practically started looting it, I had to choose whether to cover it back up to prevent similar or to inform the authorities about it’s presence. I chose to inform them and now there a defenseless scientific research camp up there being demolished by the psycho. I can’t even go and stop him because we need to kip it a secret.” Hyede grumbled to himself, his mood souring a bit. He took the lemonade though and drank about half the glass before looked back to Malachi. To see what his response might be.

Malachi raised an eyebrow to Hyede's comment about Heater 'bulking up'. "What co you mean about Heater getting bigger?" Malachi took a couple of drinks of his lemonade as he waited for a reply.
"Somehow I doubt he's going to attack the archives like that, Hyede. He may cause chaos amongst the scientists, but I don't think he'd kill them. He already has us pissed at him. I doubt he wants the whole galactic alliance at his throat."
Malachi sighed at the thought of Brandon coming back to take Nissa away. "It's impossible to describe with words the horrors I'd visit upon him if he even tried."

“I’m pretty sure it was some new transformation. I don’t know that much about Changeling physiology but I’m sure they don’t do that very often. As for Nissa, I don’t think you’ll have to invent those horrors while I’m around. As long as I’m hiding out she’ll have a competent bodyguard.” Hyede replied and studied his glass for a few moments. “I just wish I had the clarity to detect exactly what was going on there. We can’t even contact Heater to find out what Brandon’s done.”

Gazing back at his lemonade, Hyede paid more attention to the spikes of power he was sensing from the North. He’d gotten good enough to tell when an attack was being fired and such, but still at this range had no real picture of what was going on. However after a second particularly large spike of power, He could feel both energy signatures wane, Heater’s more then Brandon’s.
“That bastard… What has the trickster done now?” Hyede growled as he squeezed the glass tight enough to shatter it, spilling the contents on the floor. It was clear this whole matter had opened up the floodgates Hyede had used all his life to keep his darker side in check. He was growing more and more angry with every antic the cheating weakling pulled. Not this time however, now he was going to beat Brandon at his own game. He had the power to bring back the dead and whether for good or just to sooth his growing hatred, he was going to use it. Not now however, he would have to wait a long enough for that worm to crawl back into it’s hole before he expended the staggering amount of power needed for revival, otherwise it might attract that very creature’s attention.
“I’ll get a mop.” he added and stood. Heading into the kitchen and poking around for a mew moments Hyede located the cleaning tools he needed and returned to the living room. The mess was dispatched quickly in contrast to the young man’s anger that was growing every second. If Malachi though he was going to visit horrors upon that slithering pustule of a person, he had no idea of the images and scenarios playing through Hyede’s head. Hyede was fully capable of torturing the blighter to death, reviving him and doing it all over again and again and again, something he was now very seriously considering.

Visions of horrors beyond description, at least as far as Hyede’s inexperienced imagination could manufacture, danged in the young man’s mind as he finished cleaning the mess on the floor. By then he was gripping the mod handle so tightly it too was threatening to break. Luckily he was done by now and returned to the kitchen with the mop, broom and dust pan and disposed of the remains of the glass. Returning to the living room Hyede plopped himself back down on the couch and dropped his face into his hands while he tried to get a handle on his temper.
“Look I’m sorry about the glass.” he started, looking up after a few moments. “I actually felt it happen this time. The murdering bastard just did it again. When we get to him there will be no mercy, I won’t get in your way of killing him. Heck if my morals were slightly more cracked I think I’d race you to the chance to kill him.”

Malachi gulped the last of his lemonade as Hyede crushed the glass. He shook his head and sighed, "Don't worry about the glass, Hyede. I intend to put Brandon to rest for sure now. No way he's getting away with killing one of the few good changelings in the universe." Malachi sat his glass down when Hyede came back with a mop and he stood up.
"I have a technique to complete before I fight him....for insurance....you can come back behind the house to watch if you want, but the creation will probably be uneventful. If you do come, make sure to bring Nissa in her carrier."
Malachi then immediately walked out the door and around behind his house.

“Thanks, actually I think I will come along. I have another insurance policy I’d like to take out myself though so I won’t stay too long.” Hyede replied as he shut off the television and gathered up Nissa’s carrier. Following Malachi outside, Hyede took a seat on a lounger and placed the baby near by so that she was within the line of sight of both of the young men.

Hyede didn’t get much of a chance to relax though as while he was laying back he could hear a faint buzzing. The sound was quite distinctive and almost immediately he recognized it as that of his radar. He’d left the device out on the lawn so it wouldn’t be damaged while Heater and he were sparring and was now apparently picking up a new signal.
“I’ll be back shortly, going to go grab my radar off your lawn and then go see about that insurance. I should be more then a few hours.” Hyede announced to Malachi as he got back up and started around the house.

Jogging around to the front of the house, Hyede crossed the front lawn and scooped up his scanner. Scaling back the view on the display he noted that the signal was coming from off world.
“That’s what I figured, the last one.” Hyede stated to himself and lifted off. Turning south, Hyede poured on all the speed he could in his base form to keep from being detected and headed back towards his boat in the tropics.
{Moving to Wilderness, Tropical Islands.}

Returning to Malachi’s house in short order, or at least as short as two hours could be, Hyede touched down with his newly torn and burned shirt ready for it’s deception. Strolling into the back yard where he’d left Malachi, Hyede returned to his lounger quietly so as not to disturb the man while he practiced.
