((OK, I've had this thing swimming around my head for days. For backstory; Zephyra and Carmel have been wandering around for days. Got that? Then continue))

Carmel

"Carmel, practically nobody's around," Zannette said, green eyes looking around. I didn't doubt her about that; after all, she had something like 21:20 vision for flying or something. However, that didn't mean that nobody would leap out on us as soon as we stepped out.

"No," I said through her.

"Please don't do that."

"Well, maybe you shouldn't have torn my tongue out."

"That wasn't me."

"Oh, yeah, right, you're schizo, and your other personality, what was it, Zephyra, is a psycho. Makes perfect sense, freak."

"We are going out of these bushes, or I'll gouge out your eyes."

I did not argue when birdie when crazy like that. We stepped out, and I screamed. There they were, Viper, Nick, Zack. They'd obviously joined forces, and they were going to kill me.

"No! You'll never get me! Never!" I scream through Zannette, Zephyra, whatever. I begin to run.

Zephyra

Crazy went running off, while everyone else stood around staring at her.

"What the hell is she doing?" Zack muttered.

"Looks like she's going for the train tracks," breathed Nick. I smiled. This was worth watching.

She stopped, bent double to catch her breath. Weak. The freighter was coming, lights beaming on Carmel's torn, sparkly clothes.

Everyone else winced as the scream pierced the air. I was right; it was worth watching.

Viper

I let out a hiss as he stepped forward. "Don't come any closer." Did he really think I was that stupid?

Zack held his hands up, apparently in a gesture of peace. "Cut it out!" he said angrily.

Suddenly I got an idea. "Think fast." I shot two jets of venom at him from my fangs, fully expecting him to do the obvious and phase out so it would pass right through him.

Zack

"Damn!" I cried as the venom hit me. It overtook me instantly and I fell to the ground. This guy was a menace.

Suddenly, another guy appeared. Judging by his position next to the first guy, I guessed he wasn't friendly either.

Suddenly, more people stepped out of the bushes. My vision was blurring, and I only barely noticed one dashing away.

"What the hell is she doing?" I muttered.

And what was that? A huge bulk was rolling toward her, showing know sign of stopping.

I turned away disgustedly as she screamed terribly. Was every day going to be like this?

whats going on?

Where did you leave off? Depending on how long it's been, a lot has happened in the story.

uhh... I dropped everyone at the hospital, and then I made a post, read about you being sent to the bottom of the ocean, and then I got lost

Viper

I couldn't stop staring. There's no way Zack could have just let me spit in his face like that. He should have phased, evaded it somehow.

Maybe he was telling the truth.

I looked around at the people seeming to pop up out of nowhere. "Guys, something's wrong with Zack."

"Yeah, you spit poison in my face," he muttered.

I winced, but then I saw a familiar winged person. My face brightened. "Zanette!"

And then Carmel got hit by a train. I know, right?

Zack was sent to the bottom of the ocean, then instantaneously was transported by Nick to the top of some mountain range. The dramatic change in pressure caused Zack's particles to split apart. When he finally reformed, he had a severe case of amnesia.

Viper, meanwhile, felt well enough to return to camp. He found Zack. Just as Nick transported to the camp, Viper hit Zack with some venom, scrambling him even more.

Carmel and Zephyra came into the camp from wandering after the big battle and found these happenings. Carmel thought everyone was after her, ran away, and got hit by a train. Then the trio of boys noticed Zephyra. That all of it leading up to this post:

Zack

A space of blackness came over me, but I fought it back. Not again.

Why had the idiot spit poison in my face, then suddenly started saying there was something wrong with me? I struggled to make sense of it.

Then I had a memory. I was floating, free of earth's bounds.The realistic-feeling motion of the dream caused me to vomit.

Blegh.

Viper

I groaned and walked over to Zack's side. He didn't remember anything, and it was my fault the kid was throwing up. It only seemed right to help Zack out.

"I'm sorry," I hissed as I pulled his arm over my shoulder, ignoring the smell of the vomit. "The blindness should wear off after about a day, maybe less."

Zack

The guy was finally showing some sense. He helped me up and guided me to a more comfortable place to rest.

"I... I'm Viper. You probably have a lot of questions right now. I'll do my best to answer them.

[[Short post...]]

Nick,

I'm totally confused. Zack truly does seem to be, I dunno, different. He's not trying to kill me, for one thing. Guess that's good. Only problem, Viper just spit at him. I flash over to them to see if Zack's OK. Viper is whispering reassurances to him. Feeling awkward I sit with them, and try to act comfortable.

Zack

Despite their sudden friendliness, the two characters still seemed a bit on edge.

"Okay, whats this all about. Who are you, why are you attacking me, and why are we sitting in the smoldering remains of a van?

They exchanged uncomfortable glances.

"We are all part of a circus," Nick began. " We travel around, performing with our... special powers... for cash. Y... we ran into some trouble, and this is the remains of our camp. Most of us are back in the hospital. Viper must've thought you were one of the guys who attacked us, and was defending himself."

"Special powers?" I inquired.

[[Its time to put this to rest...]]

Zack

And as they talked, I was filled with wonder. This world had so much potential. So many openings. And it would be so easy to... just use it.

I stared of at the sunset, and awaited the new day.

[[I dub this topic probably most likely ended. ]]

Wait, THIS is how it ended?!?!?! This? Everyone's OK, Nick let Des have Kat, Zach is good, Carmel died, and where is Kili again? Didn't she die too? Well....ok, I guess it's not bad. I heard Reddy made a new Misfit without me (which I asked him to change, since it wasn't really Misfit) but maybe y'alls wanna make a new-new one? Like, a few years later? Just a thought And sorry I was out of it for so long. I hope you all know it nearly killed me TT^TT

but maybe y'alls wanna make a new-new one? Like, a few years later?

That's definitely and interesting idea (not that the existing sequel is bad, it's great).
