Welcome to Gaia! ::

Birth stopped for a moment, dropping Mirela's arm as she felt her brother's presence growing closer. She turned to Mirela before taking her hand into her own.

"Mirela, I need you to listen to me. As of now you are not my envoy, you can't replace Jazz anymore, he is the one that inherited my power, Although, you are now an emissary, one who must assist Jazz in the long journey ahead of him. As for Luck, he is a deity, and must return to the heavens once this ordeal is over, but for now he is fighting for what he sees is right, I am not at liberty to take that from him."

At that moment, the building behind Birth exploded as it's foundation was flattened, wooden shrapnel slamming into the ground. Birth turned as the two figures emerged from the smoke. Force's eyes locked on Birth as he gave a smile.

"Well well, if it isn't my Traitorous sister, out playing with the vermin are we?"

"Mirela....we may die here..."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile,

The gorge filled with a tower of black and white light as Inner Jazz began to fade, his wicked grin piercing into the exhausted Jazz. Jazz slammed into the ground as his body gave out on him, his body feeling weak as he lay there.

"That....Was crazy..."

Jazz struggled to his feet, slowly absorbing in the light from the high sun to restore his energy.

"Time to get back...If i can make it..."

Reaper glanced back at Mordikai to make sure he didn't fall behind as they drew closer to Birth.
When she came into sight he slowed down and went a separate way deciding to take a long route towards her as he felt a familiar presence.

He caught her words hearing what Mirela was, he smiled glad to hear Luck was leaving soon, that would make it easier to handle his business.
Watching the building explod he crossed his arms to see Force and Continuum nearing Birth.
"How fascinating," Reaper said walking forward. "To think you wold come down here Force, it's even more surprising Continuum is here."

Kalan and Luck stood next to each other breathing heavily, around them were the bodies of the guards and Kalan's men.
Kalan lowered his sword and let out a long sigh, he stepped over a guard and started walking away throwing the sword to the side.
"Where do you think your going?" Luck asked dropping his sword. "We're not finished yet Kalan."
A burst of energy exploded from Luck's body causing a green aura to circle around his body.
Kalan glanced back at him as a yellow aura enveloped him, cobblestones started to lift in the air from the amount of energy enveloping the area.
"Tell me again who you are Kalan."
Kalan stared at him before extending his hand in Luck's direction.
"I am Kalan, the tenth commander of the ninth force and the warrior of justice and love."

Luck scoffed and pulled out his pocket watch causing Kalan to draw straw his eyes narrowing at him.
"I don't know too much about the whole commander thing, however I know you aren't a warrior of justice and love."
"What gives you the right to judge me Luck?" Kalan asked the straw between his fingers extending.
Luck looked around before holding his arms out motioning to the bodies.
"What justice is there in this Kalan! Where is this love you mention!"
Kalan flinched as Luck's word hit him, he averted his eyes from him and went silent.
"Answer me Kalan!"
"I don't know."
"I'm sorry you didn't you speak loud enough for me to hear clearly, what was that?"
"I told you I don't know! I'm doing this to protect Mirela, it's easier this way then anything else ."
"You misunderstand your own actions Kalan. This isn't protecting anyone, this is cowardice..."

Kalan flinched and crossing his arms drew two straw blades his eyes narrowing at Luck.
"You're running away Kalan."
Kalan felt his anger surfacing with each word that Luck spoke, his grip tightened on his sword as he felt something stab at his heart.

"The only person you're protecting is yourself."
"Shut up!" Kalan yelled as he sprinted at Luck as his pocket watch let out a light glow.
"Are you even worth saving now...." Luck mumbled.

The doctor walked forward until he was a few feet away from Tsuliria and Linora who glared at him.
"Linora I must say you're letting off quite the radiance today," the doctor said glancing towards her.
"Save your empty compliments Rai and tell the reason you're here," Linora said adjusting her glove.

The doctor held his hands up to reveal that he held no ill intention.
"You've already killed me once Tsuliria, I'd prefer it if you didn't do it again."
Tsuliria stared at him before crossing her arms indicating she was listening.
"I'll get right to the point then, Kalan...has betrayed us."
"...excuse me?" Tsuliria questioned..
"Kalan wasn't too happy about the assassination on Mirela, I saw him gathering a small force and mentioned rebelling against Reaper."
"...really now...and why should I believe you?"
"Don't you think it's strange, he seems close to this Mirela doesn't he, even though she's involved with Birth."
Tsuliria didn't want to admit it but the doctor was right, Kalan had been too friendly towards her, even after finding out who she was.
The doctor turned his back to the two and started walking away.
"Just though I'd warn you, don't need Reaper getting angry at me so I told you. He headed north with his forces if you want to see for yourself."

With those words the doctor turned and walked away from the two, turning he faded into the darkness of an alleyway with a small grin on his face.
"All is going according to plan...."

Before Mirela had a chance to give her input on the situation, she found herself being grabbed by Birth and sent up into the air with her. Listening to the deity's words, Mirela gave a nod of understanding after getting used to the situation.

"Alright, and if he tries to stop me before anything happens? He doesn't seem like the type to just stand around and let a strange woman play a violin." Shaking her head a little, Mirela clutched onto her violin trying not to drop it. "Judging things by how they look at the moment, he could crush us with little to no effort or all, and Birth I don't know about you but that's definitely a problem by my standards."

Mirela lowered her gaze down to the ground, trying to get a good look at both Force and Continuum before returning her attention to Birth. "Well.. Its your call, what are we to do if I'm unable to do as you say?"

Force brought his hand back up, clenching it into a fist before two fingers extended. The ground shook as he flicked his wrist, his fingers commanding the earth to rise. Gravity reversed itself, greatly decreasing as the rubble began to float off the ground.

"I'll cover you. You just have to trust me."

Birth looked into Mirela's eyes before she slipped her hands out from under her, her small body beginning to fall. Birth quickly summoned her spear as she too began to fall. She knew that once she hit the ground she'd have to hit her brother hard.

The world around them turned to chaos as the gravity flux lifted the foundation, boulders flying in the streets as Force gripped his glove, pulling it tighter around his hand. A small smile came over his face as he stepped forward, placing a hand on one of the flying boulders. In a moment the boulder shot, it's speed and acceleration rapidly increasing. It's target? Mordikai.

"There is no place in our world for you Birth, die like the dog you've become!"

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Virtue peered her head out from behind a barrel as she witnessed the battle between her siblings. Behind her stood a mysterious figure, he was clad in what seemed to be ancient robes and his face was hidden behind bandages. Virtue turned to look at him with a slight smile.

Mistress seems to be having a little trouble. We'd better find Luck so he can help.

The man's cold blank eyes stared at Virtue as she nodded, taking him by the hand and marching down the back street.

Force jumped to the side, dodging the spikes from Reaper. As he landed, he was thrown off as the blade grazed his shoulder. He turned to see Mordikai's second blade before raising his hand, slamming the sword into the ground. His body began to radiate as his temper began to flare, his eyes a light shade of brown.

"I've had enough with these pests!"

Force took grasp of the gem on his wrist, ripping it from the chains that binded it to him. Birth hit the ground, seeing the opening in Force's defenses.

"Death! Now!"

Birth threw the spear in her hand, along with four more spheres behind it. She quickly formed another spear before beginning to dash at her brother, hoping Death had also seen the sign to attack, and that Mirela was ready to go.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On the outskirts of the capitol, Soles and Lunes were arguing as they entered.

"Soles...I don't think we should be here, let's just go home."

"Oh be quiet Lunes, aren't you having fun? Look people!"

The two ran into a large festival going on in the Capitol to celebrate the election of the new Emperor of the land. Balloons flew through the air as the cheer and rejoice rang through the large square. Soles was over excited as Lunes tried to contain her brother.

Mordikai jerked the loose blade back, and as it slid into place above his arm once more, his vicious scowl returned, with even more reckless abandon. "Alright, here we go! Time for the party to start!"

With the gravity fluxations gone for the moment, Mordikai began to sprint headlong at Force. From the corner of his eye, he watched Birth begin to hurl spears at the Deity; as he drew closer, he actually had to sidestep one to avoid it. But the motion only put him at an advantage--as soon as he was out of the way, he planted his foot and skidded to a stop, then threw a third punch, this time a menacingly fast close-range right uppercut.

"Ahahahaha!" The boy laughed spitefully as he followed-up with a low jab, then a right, left again. He threw a heavy flurry of punches, all as fast as his own fists could fly, not weighed down by the heavy blades accompanying them. He laughed even more as he saw the cooperative onslaught begin to take it's toll on the Deity's focus.

Reaper threw an orb of darkness in the air with his left hand before closing his hand causing a large amount of little orbs to fly at Force, they divided into separate dark orbs as they continued towards him.
They followed slightly behind the four crescents still flying at Force horizontally as Reaper leaned forward gaining more speed a smile on his face.

"Well if I'm doing this then I'm going all out!" Luck yelled straightening his chain.
Seeing Mirela he sped up his pace preparing to catch her should she hit the ground, however due to the light gravity she probably wouldn't even touch the ground.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Mistress....what do we do?"
"First can we get him off my leg."
Kalan held tightly onto Tsuliria's leg lying on his stomach his cheek against her exposed leg.
A barrier of chains surrounded the three as Tsuliria held her hands up a bead of sweat running down the side of her face. Chains extended from her sleeve holding the flaming rubble up.

Focusing she quickly threw her chains up forcing the rubble to the side before pulling the chains back into her sleeves flinching at the heat.
"I'm weak enough as it is, that didn't help," Tsuliria said putting her hand to her head. "Luck was lucky enough to be saved by Reaper."
"I don't want to die!" Kalan yelled.
"Kalan," Linora said bending down to him.
"I'm too handsome, I have a decent future ahead of me!"
"Kalan."
"I only stole it once! I was young and curious!"
"Kalan!"

Kalan opened his eyes and looked around, seeing Tsuliria he quickly stood up and brushed himself off, he cleared his throat regaining his composure.
"Good job Tsuli...I saw you had it so I didn't pitch in."
"Your knees are still shaking."

While Kalan looked to check Tsuliria fell forward before Linora caught her, her eyebrows lowering as worry crossed her face.
"Mistress..."
Tsuliria's breath became ragged before she looked at Kalan.
"Kalan....I need you take care of Rai."
"The doc.....Tsuli I don't think I can handle two assassinations."
"Fine I'll call off the one on Mirela since I'm busy and Linora's watching over me while I'm in this state."
Kalan rubbed the back of his head, he was happy that he didn't have to kill Mirela but still upset about having to kill doc.
"This doesn't mean you can meet her though Kalan."
Kalan came back to reality hearing this and looked at her.
"What? Why not? I don't see why I can't."
"She's still our enemy, so no getting involved. We may have a truce however if i see you near her I will kill her myself along with you. Understand?"
Kalan lowered his head but nodded to show he understood.
"I'll depart then," he said before turning and climbing over the rubble before fading into the distance.

Tsuliria glanced at Linora who stared back at her.
"Linora....your hand."
"What Mistress?"
"Your hand...is on my..."
Linora quickly moved her hand down and bowed slightly.
"Sorry Mistress."
Tsuliria's coughed a few times blood trickling down her mouth before her eyes closed and her body went limp.
"Mistress! Hey wake up....Mistress!"

"What do you mean they're not dead?"

Yolor took a few steps forward fire hovering around his hand as he glared at the doctor who sat in the darkness resting his cheek on his fist.
"They're not dead," the doctor said. "That wouldn't kill them."
"Then why send us to do it? It seems like a waste if it doesn't do anything," Kailos said crossing his arms.

A small grin came across the doctor's face before a red and yellow glow came from his eyes.
"Oh but we did do something..."
Yolor hearing this held his arms out and spoke.
"What would that be then? Oh all knowing leader."

The doctor stood up and took a few steps closer before chuckling, he put a hand on Yolor's shoulder as the light caused his glasses to glare showing only his red eye.
"We got their attention."
