Prologue
"Jesse, before I take you, you have to promise not to tell anyone else. This place has been protected by my family and tribe for years, and if anyone was to find out about it, it would be destroyed to make way for a new generation, and we don't want that....." Paprika moans, looking at him worriedly.

"Okay, okay," Jesse says, half seriously and half laughing. "Not like any of my friends would be interested anyway."

"Did you bring the kids? They have to be here too." She smiled, happily reasured.

"Did I bring the kids," Jesse laughs. He points over his shoulder at them. "That's like asking a guy at a department store if he brought money."

"Jesse, please...try and show some maturity... The spirits will attack you if you dont act your age..." She moans again, taking Chikyū from her father, "The last echidna I brought here got killed by a spirit, I never saw him again. I dont want to lose you too."

"Okay," Jesse says, suddenly much more seriously. "I'll try not to get myself killed today."

Paprika sighed, taking his hand. "Let's go. And thank you... I nearly had a heart attack." She walks him through the bushes, taking him to a large clearing with lots of broken, crumpling temples. "Go on kids, go have a look." She lets the kids go and watches them run off. "Okay, now we can have a look for ourselves. No need to worry about them, they are very rather safe here." Paprika smiled.

Jesse smiles too. "If you say so," he says, still a little jokingly, but also rather seriously. He walks into one of the temples just ahead of her.

Paprika ran her hand along the wall, rubbing the carved pictures and paintings on the walls. "Mm... it's a very nice place here, I enjoy coming here on my own sometimes... This is where I went on the weekends... when I never told you where I was going, I wasn't allowed to tell you until I knew I could trust you, not that I didn't... they didn't..." She mumbled, resting her head on the wall and looking down at the ground, rubbing her fingers lightly on the stone.

"Well," said Jesse, "let's hope I make a good first impression." He stood and admired the paintings. "You were right. From what I've seen, this is a nice place."

A small, clear bird flew through the opening, the children following it. "Momma! Look!" Chikyū giggled, trying to touch it. The bird flew up to Paprika, nuzzling her on the cheek. "Ah ha ha ha! Hello my dear friend! How are you? Brought the little trouble makers back to us have you? oh and just when i thought i was going to get rid of them!" Paprika joked, picking up Chikyū and Andriy, twirling them around in the air. "Ha ha ha! Momma! Stop it! I'm going to pee myself!" Chikyū laughed, as Paprika put them down. Chikyū hugged her mother's legs as the bird flew around them singing. Small, colourful lights appeared around them, floating in a circle as the voices of echidna's spirits chanting rose. "Oh, how beautiful....." Chikyū gasped, sucking her thumb as usual. "Dont be such a baby!" Andriy scoffed, walking forward, "Im going to capture one of these spirits and take it home with us!" "No! Andriy don't! You'll get....." A small explosion flew at Andriy, causing his fur to go black, "..... Exploded on." Chikyū laughed, pointing at him. Andriy started to cry, falling to the ground. Chikyū run behind her mother. "I didn't mean to make him cry, momma, i was only joking..." She mumbled, tugging on her mother's dress.

Jesse bends over to Andriy. "Hey, come on, you'll be fine. Daddy's here with you." Jesse looks up at Paprika with a big smile on his face. "Man, these kids..."

Paprika walks over to a large statue. "This is Kucabun, an ancient echidna that once roamed the earth killing off all female echidnas. I hate him, he tried to kill my ancestors..... be careful Jesse, i heard his spirit still lives here and he tries to take over the bodies of passersby, mainly males." Paprika mumbled, rubbing the statues plaque.

Jesse stands up after giving his son a little ruffle of the fur. "Go play with your sister now," Jesse says cheerily, then he walks over to Paprika. "This guy sounds like he wasn't a good guy, huh?"

"No, he was the nicest bad guy ever to walk on this earth....." She said, sarcastically, rolling her eyes. She walked over and kissed him. "I heard that he fell in love with one of my ancestors who i am directly related from. She didn't love him back, so he started killing other female echidnas to try and get rid of the pain she caused. I think ill be going, i dont want him killing me too, you can stay and have a look though." Paprika said, taking the kids outside and leaving Jesse alone in the temple.

"Spirit still lives here, yeah, sure," Jesse laughs, inspecting the statue. "Sounds like a jerk, statue looks awesome though. But why build a statue of a dead murderer in a sacred temple?" The statue looked almost exactly like Jesse, except with less scars. "I'll give it to the guy, though. He is a handsome fella." He gives the statue a light, friendly slap on the cheek, as if to say, "Lookin' good!"

"Kind of like you," said a voice almost literally out of nowhere. Jesse looked up, surprised, just in time to feel a what felt to him like a hit on the skull. He instantly passed out.

Then, he stood up. Except it wasn't his conciousness doing the standing. Instead, Jesse was having an out-of-body experience from the point of view of the statue he was admiring. "Good thing I'm out of that thing," the other conciousness said. It was Kucabun. He walked out of the temple, nearly exactly the way Jesse would have. Jesse, or his consciousness, was left in the statue of the once-dead Kucabun.

Prologue's done! ^^

Chapter One: Who the hell are you?
Paprika smiled when she saw Jesse walking out of the temple. "Took you long enough Jesse! I missed you!" Paprika sighed, kissing him. The children ran around him, huggin their 'father'. "So, what happened while you were in there? Anything.... special?" She hugged him again, happy that he was finally back. "Father! Father! Look, i found this!" Chikyū held up a small pendant to him, smiling, "i found it and i wanted to give it to you father...."

"Aw, thanks honey," the possessed Jesse said to Chikyū, perfectly like Jesse would have. He'd obviously overheard Paprika and Jesse's conversation and copied Jesse's attitude and accent. "I love it!" He looked up to Paprika. "Special how?"

Darkstorm:(Zooms past on His Extreme "Black Hurricane")

(Riding her giant mutated wolf, Behemoth (yes, the on from yu-gi-oh) Sweetie chases after Dark) "Dark! Waitup! im not as fast as you!" She cries, as Behemoth growls, his large clawed feet pounding into the ground.

"Oh, nothing, i asked the kids to go in and scare you, i guess they didn't." Paprika mumbles, rubbing his chest, "It doesn't matter, lets just go on our date, huh? Dakota and Wrecker are looking after the kids for us." "Auntie Dakota and Uncie Wrecker?! YAY!" Andriy cheered, running around with his sister. "And we get some alone time, huh Jesse?" Paprika smiled, kissing him on the cheek, "Hey, what's with the glasses? i didn't know you wore glasses..."

Darkstorm:(Stops)

The impostor Jesse removeed his glasses and quickly, but subtly, lied to Paprika. "I actually found those in there, which is weird, right? But then I put them on and they didn't affect my vision very much, either. Plus I thought, you know, maybe you'd like them. You know what I mean, right?" His demeanor and the way he said his words made it seem like he was telling the truth. But he wasn't.

"Jesse, put them back on, they make you look handsome...." Paprika giggled, rubbing his chest.

Kucabun-Jesse puts the glasses back on, and he smiles. "So where are we going to eat?"

Beserker:(Howls and Attacks imposter Jesse)

"What the...?!" Paprika ran forward, pushing Jesse free from his attackee. "Get lost freak! Oh my god, this is a private area and i hate it when people follow me! it means i have to kill them... Whatever. Come on Jesse, i want to show you the temple of my ancestor before we leave, the one Kucabun fell in love with. Her name was Papurika, the japanese way of saying Paprika. Weird huh?" Paprika smiled, taking his hand, "And before you say anything, yes i know, i do look like her, okay? im directly descended from her, so i have the exact same genes as her, if you catch my drift." Paprika ran with him, the kids following behind them closely. She ran in, with Jesse close to her. she stopped at a statue of Papurika. "This is her. Isn't she beautiful? i'm so jealous of her looks, i don't have any like she did. She was the most beautiful of all echidna females in her clan and tribe...... i'm so uncannily jealous of her...." Paprika smiled, rubbing the staues plaque. "i still don't believe i look anything like her, what do you think Jesse?" Paprika asked, turning to him.

"Stop beating yourself up," Kucabun/Jesse says to Paprika. "I think you're beautiful."

"Thank you Jesse." Paprika hugged him, kissing him slowly on the lips.

A bear, a labrodor retriever, and what seems to be a floating blob with eyes approach.

The bear named Bobby is holding the hand of his imaginary friend, Mody. "We're here, Shandi!" Bobby announces.

Beserker: (Attacks Paprika)

Jesse/Kucabun sees Berserker coming and promptly punches him, hard, in both temples, stopping him from attacking Paprika.

Shandi looks at Bobby with a surprised look. "You wanted to come here?"

Bobby gasped. "I've seen that guy! He's trying to attack that lady and that man!"

Beserker:(Getting up)

Bobby growled and jumped on top of Beskerer. "Bobby! Get off it!" Shandi yells.

"Oh Jesse...... Thank you." Paprika gasped, hugging him again. Paprika walked over to the statue. "Well? Do you think i look like her? I just want to know, n-not that i care whether i look like her or not."

Beserker:(Growls) Get off me vermin

Kucabun/Jesse dusts himself off, and looks up at Paprika. "I think you're even more beautiful then her"

"Never!!!" Bobby screams. Mody swoops down and grabs Beskerer's legs.

"Oh Jesse, i love you." Paprika walked over to Jesse, hugging him. "I can't imagine my life without you.... Oh, look!" A female echidna spirit flies from the statue, stopping in front of them. "Hello Paprika." She spoke softly, fluttering her eyes. "Hello Papurika, i came her to show you husband and children. Papurika, this is Jesse, my husband and the kids are outside." Papurkia examined Jesse, lowering her eyes as she floated around him. "There's somthing..... funny about this guy....." Papurika murmred, rubbing her dreads, "Kucabun? Is that you?" She asked, nearly on the verge of tears, "I've missed you!" "Um, Papurika, This is my husband Jesse, not Kucabun." Paprika murmured, walking over to hugging Jesse. Papurika flies over to Jesse, hugging him and lifting him off the ground. "Oh Kucabun! I'm sorry i made you upset, i really did love you!" Papurika squealed, lifting him up and holding him close.

"I think you're mistaking me for someone else," Jesse-Kucabun laughs. "Albeit, I do look like the statue of the guy, but you're talking to the wrong guy."

"Sorry. You look alot like him. Oh, how I miss him." Papurika mumbled, rubbing her dread locks. "It's okay; i'll help you find him, i'm sure he still loves you." Paprika smiles, tapping his hand. Papurika looked at Jesse, sighing. "Gosh, you look so much like him, he was so handsome.... i miss him so...." Papurika took Paprika's hands, "you're very lucky to have this man Paprika." Paprika blushed, looking away. "Oh, you don't have to tell me twice Papurika." She mumbled, kicking the ground with her foot.

It takes Kucabun/Jesse a moment to avert his gaze from Papurika's spirit, and has trouble holding himself together, but manages. "Well, maybe you two will run into each other in the...afterlife, then." He sighs. "Really does suck, huh?"

"Oh yes. The man i married instead of him killed me.... Wish i chose him now. Hm.... Paprika, can you go and find your children please? I don't enjoy the thought of them being alone out there, Enerjak has been spotted around these areas. Jesse can stay here and keep me company." Papurika asks, looking at Jesse. Paprika gasps, looking at the temple's entrance. "Enerjak?! I have to get the kids!" Paprika screeches, running out of the temple. Papurika's spirit flies back into the statue. The statue starts to shake as it breaks into small pieces. Papurika steps down from the remaining cement of the statue, shaking the rubble off of her. She ruffles her dreadlocks, smiling as she looks at Jesse. "Now, my boy, since we are alone, help me find Kucabun. Please." Papurika looks at him, her eyes shinning in the light. Her dark red fur glistening in the sun coming through the cracks in the temple's roof. Still in her wedding dress, untouched and fresh as if it were still brand new. She looked at Jesse with pleading eyes. "Help me find Kucabun."



Kucabun/Jesse had a split second decision to make. He didn't know what to tell Papurika. Would he say to her that he was really Kucabun, and reveal his plans to her? Or would he hold it back, for fear of distrust and hatred for his curent goal? He could not answer without showing a little sign of emotion. He looked back on it over the events of the days to come and wondered why he had not told her. "Yeah," he said. "I'll help you out."

"Kucabun, i know your in there." Papurika stepped forward, kissing him on the cheek. She hugged him, crying. "Why haven't you come to see me?!" She cried, her tears dribbling down her face.

Darkstorm:(Holding Sweetie)

A different voice came out of the impostor's mouth. "I'm sorry. I couldn't reveal myself until I was sure we were alone. I've been wanting to get free and be with you for quite some time now."

Darkstorm:Who's there?

Jesse/Kucabun immediately reassumes Jesse's normal voice. "Just me!"

"Come on, Dark, we should leave Jesse and Paprika alone. Paprika, ill distract Dark for you so you and Jesse can get some 'alone' time." Sweetie spoke softly, smiling at Papurika. "Um, yeah." Papurika spoke just as Paprika would, watching as Sweetie left. "Come Darkstorm! I have a surprise for you!" Sweetie giggled, running off.

Darkstorm:(Follows) I gonna get you

Back in his real voice, Jesse/Kucabun said. "Well done. I would have done it myself but I can't do her voice."

"Oh Kucabun...." Papurika rubbed his chest, sighing with relief, "You do not know just how long i've been wishing and waiting to get out so i could be close to you again." Papurika pointed to her wrist. "Look, see? I still have the bracelet you wove for me." She whispered.

Darkstorm:(Grabs his wifes arm, Pulls her to him and kisses her)

He smiled. "I thought you might. I finally got out of that temple over there" (he pointed out toward another temple) "and the first thing I really had to do was come and visit you, my dear."

She smiled along with him, hugging him. "Oh Kucabun...... i have longed for you....." She kissed him, rubbing his fur. "Kucabun, i'm so glad we are together again...... Why did you come back anyway?" She asked, sighing as she rested her head on his shoulder.

He sighed. "Being stuck in a shadow of my former self was so devastating. I hated it. From what I can see, you at least had the privelege to move and speak with others. I didn't."

"Yes, but i told the spirit masters that if they didn't let you come out, i would move on, and you know how they feel about me." she winked at him, a sexy smile on her face. "Oh Kucabun..." She kisses him, closing her eyes.

"Now if only you had a body," said Kucabun/Jesse thoughtfully.

"Hm..... Paprika's body is looking a little.... unhealthy..... i'm thinking i should take it for a run." Papurika mumbles, looking at Kucabun. "She should be back over soon....."

Paprika ran into Kucabun's temple, seeing her children standing infront of his statue. "Children! What are you looking at?" Paprika asked, walking over to them. "Daddies in that statue." Andriy mumbles, holding his sister's hand. "What? Don't be silly child, he's....." Paprika looks at the statue, staring into it's eyes. "Jesse! How'd you get stuck in there?!" Paprika screeches, rushing over and rubbing his cheek. "I have to go get your body back! Wait right here..... TT it's not like your going to move so i'll be back." Paprika runs off, leaving the kids behind. She's runs into Papurika's temple, looking around.

The impostor Jesse was hiding from her. How did she find me out so fast? he thought.

"Jesse honey?" Paprika mumbled, walking in with a large stick in her hand, "Can you come help me get the kids? There in Kucabun's temple.." Papurika jumped out, pushing Paprika over. Paprika screamed, trying to hit Papurika. Papurika pulled Paprika's soul out, taking it over to her statue. "Papurika! What the hell are you doing?!" Paprika screamed, struggling to get free. "I'm getting back with Kucabun. He took Jesse's body, and im taking yours!" Papurika threw Paprika into her statue, sealing her in. She walked over to Paprika's body and slid in. She stood up, looking over at Kucabun. "Well, that was easier than i expected." She mumbled, signalling for him to come out.

Kucabun steps out. "Well, that was easier than I expected. But we've still got one problem..."

"What? Everythings has been taken care of." Papurika smiled, walking over to Kucabun, hugging him.

Kucabun hugged Papruika as if he hadn't done it in years. Which, of course, he hadn't. "How so?" he asked to her.

"Well, i'm convinced only Jesse and Paprika know about us stealing their bodies, and since they cannot move or talk, who are they going to tell?" Papurika laughed, looking back at her statue. "Well, all that's left to do now is check out how much has changed since we've been dead." Papurika turns around, walking out of the temple.

Chapter two: The world's difference
"You coming Kucabun? Or you gonna stay cooped up in there like always?" Papurika called, shielding her eyes from the sunlight.

Kucabun steps out after Papruika. "What do we do about those kids?" he whispers to her.

"Well, their mother said something about a auntie to me earlier today, so we should take them there. They shouldn't be too far from here...." Papurika replies, taking his hand.

Kucabun almost chuckled. "Well, let's do that, shall we?"

Papurika took him to his temple, walking in. The children turned around, staring at them. (Wolf, you can do Anriy, ill do Chikyu)

Chikyu hugged her brother, crying. "What have you done with our parents?!" She screamed, tightening her grip around her brother. "Where's my mother!?"

Andriy cried into Chikyu's shoulder. He was at a loss for words altogether. Kucabun looked over at Papurika and whispered, "What am I supposed to say?"

Bobby and Mody approached Chikyu and Adriy. "What's wrong?" Bobby asked.

"Nothing!" Papurika gasped, walking over to her 'children', "Our children were just scared." "Your not our parents!" Chikyu screamed. Papurika covered her mouth, pulling her back. "Please leave this premisses. You are not allowed here." Papurika growled, smiling whilst holding Chikyu in her arms. "If you do not leave, i have permission to kill you."

Andriy looked up; his face was already highly stricken by tears. "H-he's not my daddy, and she's not my mommy..." He then shunned Bobby and Mody away to continue crying. Kucabun leaned over to Bobby and Mody and said, "I'm not sure what those two are worked up about, but I'll tell you what, I did the same thing when I was mad with my parents."

"Okay, Andriy, my dear, stop crying. Mommy is here..." Papurika walked over and pulled Andriy forward, covering his mouth as well, "Heh, children, Cant control 'em these days, eh?" She mumbled, holding the kids in a way that looked caring.

"Gee," Bobby said, "this place is way more dramatic than I remember."

"What, you been here before?" asked Kucabun, almost surprised.

"Well, i don't care if you've been here since you were born! You are not an echidna, so leave before i tell the authorities!" Papurika growls, pulling out a knife.

Bobby stares at Papurika. He gets those cute little eyes that nobody can resist, then starts bawling. Shandi facepalmed.

"Get out, NOW!" Papurika screamed, shaking the temple. "LEAVE OR I KILL YOU!" Her dreadlocks became wild, as her eyes turned red.

"I'd get out of here if I were you. You do not want to get her worked up." Kucabun then walked over to Papurika, and made it look like he was trying to calm her down. He whispered, "You're gonna scare those kids even worse!" Indeed, Andriy did seem to be even more frightened of the duo then before.

She smirked evilly, looking at Bobby. "GET OUT!" Fire came up from the ground. Chikyu screamed, running to her brother.

Bobby started talk-crying. "BUT I HAVEN'T SEEN MY SISTER YET!!!" He whales.

Andriy hugs his sister tightly. He had never been more frightened in his life. Kucabun, however, had his own way of doing things. He walked up, grabbed Bobby, and started dragging him out. "Son," Kucabun said, "There are few things worse than death, but trust me, if you got her worked up too much, you'd probably meet all of them."

"But mister," Bobby explained, "my big sis told me to meet her here. She's an echidna."

"Then why don't you go wait, right outside," Kucabun says calmly, continuing to drag him out. "Because you are going to get yourself killed if you argue with 'my better half'."

"She's your better half?" Bobby asks, baffled.

"WHY AREN'T YOU AN ECHIDNA?! THAT MAKES NO SENSE! GET OUT!" Papurika screams, the knife flying out of her hands towards bobby. It just misses him, wedging itself into the wall. Chikyu screams, crying on her brothers chest, hiding her face.

Andriy hugs his sister even more tightly. Kucabun doesn't seem to notice, as he is focused solely on calming down Papurika. "Calm down already, I'm getting him to leave!" He leans in close to Bobby and whispers, "Unless you have a death wish, leave this place."

Bobby screamed and ran at full speed out of the temple, still sprinting when he got out. Shandi stared at Papurika wide-eyed and did the exact same thing. Mody just stood there, frowning.

"I would say you should probably leave as well," Kucabun says, loudly enough for Mody to here.

"Well? are you leaving?" Papurika asked, holding out another knife. Chikyu stared at Mody. "Go on, leave." She mumbled, "we'll be alright, i was only joking, these are our parents."

"You must be a totally heartless person," Mody said to Papurika, disgusted. He rolled his eyes and started floating around the temple, looking for Bobby's sister.

"Kucabun; Grab the kids." Papurika dashed forward, trying to grab Chikyu. She screams, jumping away.

"Something tells me they don't want to be 'grabbed'." He puts his hand on Andriy's shoulder, and he promptly runs away. "See?"

Papurika jumps at Chikyu again, her arms ready to capture her. Chikyu screams again, running over to her brother. Papurika flies into a wall, screeching in pain. "We have to get out of here!" Chikyu screamed. She grabbed her brothers and and started to run "we have to get to Auntie Dakota's house! Quick!" Chikyu screamed, still running.

"Looks like the witch is scaring off the kiddies," Mody commented, floating back, no echidna with him.

Papurika turns around, her face bloody. "Ow...." She cries, her wrist broken, the bone showing.

Andriy raced after Chikyu, and Kucabun intentionally let him go. Instead, he walked over to Papurika and looked at her wrist. "That will need fixing," he said solemnly. "Heh, yeah." She looked at him, smiling. "Ouch..." She gasped. "That'll need a lot a lot of fixing," Mody added. "What happened to her?"
