T_T Anyway, before I post this final part, I'd like to thank you all for your support and patience with me for these past few months. It means the world to me, really it does. No one else could be so patient and understanding. And Kiddo- you know I love you, right? ^_^; Don't take offense at this last part. We wuv you, we just hate early mornings.[/glow]

Veritas Vitae Part Fifteen
It had been several hours since the end of the battle. With heavy hearts, we shredded the papers on Bill’s desk and deleted the files on his laptop. With a tear in my eye, I realized that Kiddo could have created a virus to wipe all of these buggers out in one blow.
Poor, poor Kiddo.
Crystal scooped up the ashes and put them in an urn that we pirates had, erm, ‘liberated’ from Bill’s office. It was a nice one, white and covered in pictures of fire faeries. She’d have liked it. Of course, she would have liked one featuring Kanrik in the buff a lot better, but you had to make do with what you had, right?
The presses were stopped, and the workers went home. There were some who refused to leave, and HTML forcefully fired them. With Crusher.
Ish finally came back from his trip to the bathroom, (don’t ask me what took him so long. Call it another plot hole) and we all returned to the NTWF.
It was awfully quiet without Kiddo bossing us all around. The ninjas were leaderless, with Crystal and Stal vying for the position of power, and for the rest of the evening, the pirates wreaked havoc. We had to get it out of our systems. It wasn’t really as much fun without ninjas to blow up, but it was something to get our minds off the day’s events.
The next morning, Stal woke me up at 6:00 AM. Said something about a funeral service. I rolled over and went back to sleep. 6:00 is too early.
Ishmale came in five minutes later to wake me up again. With a bugle.
Muttering curses against ninjas who held funerals at inconvenient times, I dressed in my slightly rumpled and still-bloodstained T-shirt, jeans, and cape. My socks were mismatched. Eri handed me a cup of tea. Took me half the mug to realize that I was indeed drinking tea with ninjas, and my hair looked like something nested in it.
Too tired to care, I took a seat in the Times Lobby. Right next to the window, so I could see the sun rise. It was scarcely peeking out over the horizon, rolling over in its sleep. Poor bugger probably wanted to go back to bed too.
Stal stood at a podium, dressed in his priest attire. Though he had performed several Tabloid weddings in the past, I doubted he could legally be a priest. “Dearly beloved, we are here today to witness the joining of Nick and Echo in holy matrimon- shoot, wrong script.” He fumbled in his robes for a few minutes. Beside me, Plushieowner yawned and leaned her head against my shoulder. I offered her my mug. She sucked at for a few minutes without realizing that there was, in fact, nothing in it.
“I can’t find the script. I’ll have to wing it. Dearly beloved, we are here today to mourn the loss of a great ninja, sensei, admin, phoenix-blessed fox-fae, and friend. An honorable and- what is it, Crystal?”
“The ninja stifled a yawn. “What was the last thing on that list?”
“Friend?” Stal raised an eyebrow at her.
“Not that, the second-to-last thing on the list. Phoenix-blessed…”
…
…
…
“I forgot how well Kiddo could godmode.”
A beam of sunlight shot through the room, striking the face of the urn. There was a sudden fwoof, like the sound you get when you punch a pillow. Red feathers exploded from the top of the urn, and a muffled voice cried, “RIDER! What the %&$# am I doing in this jar?”
I simply got up, kicked the urn once, then went back to sleep. And as I started dozing off, I vowed I’d find a phoenix and force the bugger to bless me. It undoubtedly has its advantages.
(And then Ishmale got drunk. Come on, all of you saw that coming too.)
