Moshia frowned, she couldn't stand to see her friend like that. Sure, she acted like Gothwrain in some aspects, bullying them around when on a mission, but for the most part Lydia just wanted to be a normal kid. She walked up to Lydia and hugged her from behind. "Shh, it'll, like, be okay."
Romeo went over and put a hand on Lydia's shoulder, "You going to be all right?"
Lydia shook her head and just kept crying into Raphiel's shoulder.
Now Raphiel may be child-like in many aspects and a bit of a dunce, but he had enough sense about him to tell when someone was in emotional pain and he did what he could to aleviate that pain. He looked at the sobbing Wererat, "Can you tell us what's wrong?"
"That bastard killed my parents, he told me that he saved my life from Were hunters and because of that I, *sob* I did everything he asked me to. I would've died for him." She suddered as she remembered everything that Gothwrain had made her do. Raising her and her friends to kill someone they had never met before. She endured losing her friends who had been 'killed in action', mainly because doing whatever Gothwrain ordered made her feel important. Gothwrain had probably killed many of her friends off as well when they failed on what they did. He nearly killed her, Romeo and Moshia off today, if it hadn't been for that old woman and that Jagwere, she didn't think that she'd be alive right now.
Seance frowned as he took in Lydia's memories through her aura, he still couldn't control that 'day-dream' ability of his. He looked at Dr. Diggers. "Master Diggers, there's something that you should know."
"Yes, Seance?"
Seance jerked his head in the direction towards the house. Theo followed him. "Yes Seance? What is it?"
Seance sighed, "Well, it's about Lydia. She's lost and confused right now."
Theo nodded and sighed, "I figured as much, considering what Gothwrain told her before and what she knows now."
"So what should we do with her and her friends now?"
Theo shook his head, "I'm not sure, maybe invite them to Atlanta for a while, at least till they can get on thier own feet." Seance nodded at that.

Meanwhile Gina had taken Thropan and Ryan into the house to talk.
Ryan looked at her, "How can that be? I always thought that cross-breeding between a magical and non-magical race was near-impossible."
Thropan shook his head, "Not completely, just very hard." He sighed, "To tell the truth I wasn't trying to become a father. This is just so unexpected."
Gina nodded, "No kidding." She slumped a bit, "I'm going to be a mother soon, not that I mind, just I wanted to wait a bit." She narrowed her eyes, "Stupid old men." Both Ryan and Thropan nodded at that.

Ranma was at the picnic table outside and winced as Sheila applied more ointment and bandaged his hand a bit more, "It wasn't that bad. Not as bad as Britanny got anyway."
Sheila shook her head, "I don't care. Silver burns are very serious, even minor ones. 'Sides it's the least I can do for you after you and my brother saved me."
Ranma just smiled at her, "Hey, I would've done that for you no matter who it was that grabbed you." He then whispered for her, "No one gets to grab you but me."
Sheila blushed crimson and whispered affectionately, "Pervert."
Ranma put his hands over his heart, "You wound me Shechan. You make it sound like it's a bad thing."
Sheila giggled at that, "Just as long as you don't go and steal underwear I won't care what we do in private."
Ranma blinked innocently, "You mean like these?" He then held up a pair of light blue panties.
Sheila blushed tremendously, "Eeeek!" She quickly snatched them and put them in her pocket, "How'd you do that?" She didn't know how he could've done that, she was wearing pants and he hadn't taken her pants off, she was sure of it.
Ranma shrugged and said "Happosai taught me. I just never used the trick before. As for how, well, now that is a secret."
Pee Wee was standing by the house, now that everyone's attention was elsewhere he could escape and rebuild his forces. He was about to reach the door when he ran into something large. He looked up and up and up until he saw Onoli looking at him. "Er, I was only going to go for a walk."
Onoli frowned, "I don't think so. Not only did your people attack civilians, but you also attacked the Edge Guard members and even kidnapped one, on top of that, they're my friends, so I don't think that you'll be going anywhere."
Erwin was going to ask what he meant when he felt a tap on his neck and he slumped forward. "Children have no respect for anything anymore."
Onoli bowed to Colonge, "Thank you elder. I would've had to actually use harder methods to stop him."
Colonge waved it off, "Think nothing of it. The child should be glad that I don't just erase his memory."
Julia blinked when she heard that, she had come upon the scene seeing Erwin trying to escape, "What do you mean you can erase a person's memory?"
"It's more along the lines of altering a person's memory, but I can do it. Why do you ask?"
"Hold on a sec there. Brianna!"
Brianna blinked as she looked at her mom and shrugged and went over to where Julia was, "Yeah mom?"
"What is this Talon boy's, err, 'hobbies' like?"
Brianna frowned, "He messes with a person's genetics to make them stronger, tougher, faster, and more flexible. I think Daishi's the only one he didn't do much work on, save that time when Brit nearly killed him."
"So what is it that you want me to do?"
Julia smirked, "After all the problems he's caused my family I really have wanted to cause some problems for him."
Onoli blinked, "Erase his memory?"
"More along the lines of making him forget his DNA manipulation abilities."
