Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Ow hey Virtue cut it out! There's no need to drag me. Can't you be a little more gentle? We are family after all. Don't worry about the pole thing it's a....sign of affection my dear sister. Ow hey wait..the babes are that way!" Luck screamed these words before vanishing into the alley.

Reaper tripped but was able to catch himself landing on one knee as he looked where Virtue and Luck went.
"He's going to face an amount of pain not even Birth and myself combined can administer. Rest in peace Luck."

"Not funny Reaper! Ow!"

Reaper turned his attention back to Force.
"Now where were we?" Reaper said with a smile.

Tsuliria stood in a large dark area, she looked around for any signs of life but only saw darkness, the only signs of light was a small lantern rocking back and forth above her.

Tsuliria looked around once more and noticed that as the lantern lit an area a cloaked figured appeared their hoods hiding their faces.
The lantern continued to rock and the cloaked figures would appear with each of it's creaks.

She went to draw her chains but they wouldn't respond, touching her arm she found she couldn't feel them, they were gone.
she grit her teeth as the figures stared at her holding small candles which lit up the dark area.
"Impure thing," one mumbled.
"Sadistic little animal," another one said.
Tsuliria's eyes darted between the figures and she took a step back only to find they were behind her, she quickly turned around as they started closing in on her.
"To think she could do such a thing!"
"Soulless demon."
"Don't look at her."
"Why doesn't she just die."
"She's the Crimson Child!"
Tsuliria covered her ears trying to stop the voices but they continued their endless words, she punched at one knocking their hood off, she looked at their face and her eyes widened to see her own.
The rest of their hoods fell revealing they were all Tsuliria.
"A wasted existence," they all spoke before laughing at her.

"Shut up!" Tsuliria yelled clutching at her head, she fell to her knees as the laughter echoed in her mind and through the dark area as the Tsuliria's hovered around her.
She shook her head when suddenly the voices stopped, looking up she saw one cloaked figure staring down at her, their hood was up so she couldn't see their face.

Hands wrapped around Tsuliria's neck and she gripped them trying to make them let go but they were too strong and she couldn't remove their hands.
She felt her strength leaving her as the person leaned forward and moving to her ear whispered something to her that made her heart skip.
"It's all your fault."

The hood fell off revealing Linora with a bloody face grinning at her with a large scar across her face.

"No!"
Tsuliria quickly sat up her breathing heavy, she looked around to see she was in a room, she clutched at the covers and let out a sigh.

Looking over she saw Linora sleeping with her head on the bed using her arms as pillows.
She stared down at her and reached her hand forward, she hesitated for a moment but continued her movements.
She moved a bang out of Linora's face her eyes letting off a small ounce of sadness as she watched her.
"...a dream huh...."
Tsuliria rested her hand on her head and petted her gently, however feeling movement she quickly withdrew her hand.

Linora lifted her head and quickly woke up seeing Tsuliria was awake.
"Mistress..."
Linora wrapped her arms around Tsuliria neck hugging her which made Tsuliria flinch.
"I'm glad you're alright."
"Linora...."
Tsuliria felt her hesitation as she released her.
"Sorry Mistress, I lost control of my emotions."
"Be more careful," Tsuliria said glaring at her.
Linora nodded and stood up.
"I'll go fix something then."
Linora stood up to walk away but stopped and spoke to Tsuliria first.
"....another nightmare."
Tsuliria put her hand against her forehead and nodded.
"...this one was different though...."

Mordikai shook off the sudden dizziness that had come over him, backpedaling away from Force while he recuperated. He wasn't too sure what had happened, but something had happened--and now, there was one less person on the field to combat the two Deities. With another snap of his fingers, his blades stuck into the dirt to either side. He rolled his shoulders to loosen them once again, his arms fatigued from the fight, as he turned to watch the unknown Deity enter the fray.

"Looks like I'll have to step in now..."

"You? Heh, alright then." Extending his arms once more, he hefted the blades into the air above his head and forced them back together. Resonating with a violent ringing noise, the heavy sword dropped back to the earth. Mordikai energetically swung a metal pole he'd retrieved from about his person, running it into the center of the blade and attaching the two before hefting it up to rest on his shoulder. Much like its previous form, most of the weight to this weapon rested in the iron handle, as opposed to the massive blade it supported.

"I suppose it's about time for Round Two, isn't it?"

(See ya Indrid)
Reaper's attention returned to Force hearing him speak, he seemed upset about something, he couldn't decide on what it could be.
Not to soon after his words he noticed giant beams appear before gravity seemed to freak out, he took a step to the right getting further away from the dark orbs.
He glanced back at Force hearing his final words before tilting his head.

"Well I think it's hardly that Force, maybe if you added some screaming bodies and a sense of hopelessness," he said tapping his finger on his chin.

He glanced over at Birth hearing her talk to Mirela before seeing a spear stick into the ground, he looked back at the source to see Jazz and tilted his head.

"Where is my envoy now that I think about it," he said looking to the sky.
He shrugged and turned around darkness forming around his arm as he closed his hand as it formed into a rapier.
"Guess I need to try a bit harder," he said smoothing his hair back with his hand and taking a stance.

"Sorry new guy," Continuum said to Jazz stepping forward.
He stretched his arms and let out a yawn before rubbing the back of his head.
"Can't believe I got pulled into this."
He placed his hands in his pockets and cracked his neck before looking at Jazz.
"Well let's get this over with I guess, you can have the first move."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Are you sure you're okay to move Mistress?"
Tsuliria and Linora walked down the street side by side, Tsuliria stared at the note Reaper gave her looking around at the few people still around.
"I'm fine," Tsuliria said. "I haven't been sleeping well lately."
Linora nodded deciding not to press on the matter any further, however she did keep her eyes on her.
Tsuliria ignored it for a moment but after a while she let out a small sigh.
"Yes Linora..."
"Why did you send Kalan after Rai?"
"Kalan wanted more recognition so he's earning it."
"I doubt it's just that."
Tsuliria was silent for a moment but nodded her head as a response before speaking.
"That and Rai was the eleventh commander if only for a little bit," Tsuliria said. "Kalan needs to handle his subordinate."

Linora nodded and the two continued to walk, they stopped as Tsuliria's chains gave a heavy reaction causing her to touch her right arm, Linora glanced at her seeing it.
"It's Mr. Kobayashi isn't it?" Linora said.
Tsuliria nodded.
"He's returned," Tsuliria said gripping her sleeve. "He's nearby too...so is Reaper, I'd better not go near him, I probably wouldn't be able to control my actions."
Linora moved in front of Tsuliria, reaching forward she put her hands on Tsuliria's shoulders.
"What's your problem with Mr. Kobayashi?"
Tsuliria's eyes let off a slight glow causing Linora to release her shoulders.
"His existence...the fact that he can choose it..."
Tsuliria clenched her fist feeling her rage start to surface at the mere thought of him.
"He can walk away from his duties, and that light in his eyes, he was able to regain it....he showed no hesitation when we first met. I hate it. I hate that he can control his existence!"

Tsuliria punched the side of a building breaking through it and creating a hole, she pulled her hand away before walking forward.
"Jazz Kobayashi will die by my hand, I will bring and end to his existence."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kalan hunched over catching his breath before looking back where he came from, to no surprise he didn't see his force following behind, though they were probably dead....actually thinking about they were definitely dead.
Looking up he saw the doctor staring at him, he jumped back and started to speak but remembered his mission.
"Listen Doc, you gotta get out of town, Tsuliria wants me to kill you and-"
"Kalan, listen very closely to me," the doctor said interrupting him. "I need your help, Yolor and Kailos have betrayed me. They're on their way to kill me and I'm sure you're next, you have to-"
The doctors words were caught off as fire consumed his body, he screamed as the flames consumed him before hitting the ground, he rolled around for a moment before going still his screams.

Kalan's eyes widened and he turned to see Yolor walk out of the shadows.
"Oh now who could have done that," Yolor said smiling.
Kalan ran over to the doctor and fell to his knees as the fire faded, he looked at the doctors charred body as his hand clenched into a fist.
"Yolor....do you realize what you've done?" Kalan said standing up.
"Got rid of an annoying man," Yolor said shrugging.
"I've already lost her....now you would take my old friend. I won't forgive you Yolor!"
Kalan's drew four pieces of straw between his fingers and sprinted at Yolor as a sadistic grin crossed Yolor's face.
"Come then Kalan, join your friend!"

Mirela watched as the battlefield began to go haywire with the gravity. 'Well this isn't looking good, he looks pretty angry. Luck is gone, too...' Narrowing her eyes, Mirela shifted out of the way of crumbling ground. She was scared, but she felt that now was a time to stop whining and get serious, especially now that Jazz had made his return. "Well its about time you showed up, this place has gone to hell!"

'I can't mess this up.'

Shaking her head, Mirela pushed down the fear deep within her heart and mind in order to begin playing once more.

A melody that was soft and elegantly played resonated from Mirela's bow, and the ground beneath her feet began to glow a faint, radiant green. Vines of the same green energy proceeded to emerge from around her feet, wrapping around her legs in order to hold her in place while she played.

From there, the energy began to slither its way through the cracks in the ground taking root at the halfway point between Mirela and Force. The same melody she had been playing was now softly being hummed as if to help keep focused on her attack.

"The seed roots, the dance begins..."

At the root, the energy began to stem upwards as the melody became more sweet than soft, rising a few feet into the air. A small rosebud formed at the tip, shaking occasionally as Mirela closed her eyes.

"...Now blooms the beauty, the elegant rose..."

As the sweet melody turned dark and alluring, the bud bloomed into a beautiful rose. As it bloomed, a bright light radiated from the petals engulfing the battlefield in a temporary blindness.

"...It whispers sweet words, tamed by the will of a heart that is pure."

The rose pulsed before it came detached from the stem. It spun slowly and gracefully, releasing its petals into the air. They whirled up to the near space above them before compressing together and splitting into many smaller petals. These petals drifted beautifully in Force's direction, picking up their pace as Mirela opened her eyes and greatly increased the tempo.

The petals were razor sharp and were quickly moving toward Force. A few drifted off course and hit some of the floating rubble in their path, signaling to her comrades that they would also explode on contact after the rubble was blown to bits.

"Careful everyone, make sure that you don't get hit!"

Reaper's eye twitched as the events unfolded in front of him, thanks to his battle with Birth his power still hadn't recovered. On top of that Force was starting to get annoying.
To make matters worse Continuum was getting involved which meant more work.

Reaper hopped from foot to foot before dashing forward at Force deciding to put out a little more effort, he faded in and out of existence as transparent versions of himself started to appear as he drew closer until three Reaper's pursued Force, two ran ahead and stabbed at Force's chest while the third Reaper aimed towards his face.


Continuum kept a walking pace heading towards Jazz and let out a yawn as Force continued his attack.
"Guess I'm making the first move," he said cracking his neck.
He looked at Birth and lifting his hand greeted her before dashing toward Jazz sticking his hand back into his pocket.


His eyes slightly drooped as a sleepy expression took over his face before he reached Jazz, turning his body he sent a kick towards Jazz's head though he made sure to shift his weight as he did so.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Oi Virtue cut it out!"
Luck continued trying to free himself from her grip, for a little girl she was strong and he was curious to how she escaped from her pole.
He noticed the bandaged man and stopped squirming for a moment.
"Is this bandaged person the one that freed you, if so then he should mind his own business. A brother should be able to show his affection by tying up his sister."

Luck stared squirming again trying to escape from Virtue but to no avail.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


"What is that?" Tsuliria said pointing ahead.
Linora ahead to see a strangely garbed woman heading towards them, normally she would put it aside but she noticed flowers trailing behind her.
".....I feel an immense amount of hatred towards this woman."

"Oh hello there,"the woman said stopping near the two. "Would you mind-"

She stopped talking seeing Tsuliria walk past her, she went to put a hand on her shoulder to stop her only to have it slapped away.
"Don't touch me you annoying hag," Tsuliria said glaring at her.
"Mistress! That's a bit much don't you think."
"Well I never..."
"Also make your annoying flowers go away,"
"Annoying....flowers......"

The woman's eyes narrowed before four green vines shot out of the ground around her, she extended her hand and aimed them at Tsuliria, however the vines were quickly cut as Linora moved in front of her.
The vines quickly grew back as the woman stared at her slightly surprised at her speed.
"I'll handle this Mistress, go on ahead,"
Tsuliria glanced back at her before continuing.
"Try not to die Linora," Tsuliria said walking away.

Linora turned back to the woman before adjusting her glove.
"I suppose I should greet you, I'm Linora,"
"Oh pleased to meet you, I'm Nature."
"I'm pleased to meet you as well."
Linora extended her arm.
"Let's begin."
"After you dear."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"What was I thinking!"
Kalan ran through the village explosions of fire behind him as Yolor laughed chasing after him.
"I forgot fire was painful and hot, very very hot!"
Kalan jumped dodging another fireball as Yolor closed in on him, Kalan threw his straw back only to have it disintegrate upon nearing him, Yolor laughed and sent large wall of flame towards Kalan.
Kalan screamed as the fire crashed down on him leaving up a wall of flame, Yolor stood on the other side leaning over and holding his stomach laughing.
"I missed this so much! Hey Kalan come back, I'm not done setting you on fire yet!"

Kalan crawled along the ground breathing heavily, he looked back at the fire to see the bottom of his pants were on aflame, he grabbed a nearby bucket and threw the water on his pants putting out the fire.
"Thank goodness," he said sighing.
Hearing a neigh he looked up to see a horse glaring at him, he looked down at the bucket before looking back up at the horse.
"Oh was this yours...I'm sorry here ya go," Kalan said holding it out to him.

There was a loud neigh before a scream of immense agony and regret followed.
Kalan held his now black eye as he walked in the field outside of town, he touched his right eye flinching from the pain.
"Stupid horse, didn't have to kick me. It's times like these I wish the doctor was still around."
He stopped looking around, recognizing the area he crossed his arms and tried to recall his steps.
"That's right, I was running from Yolor and it seems I ran out of town....great..."
He looked back towards the village and let out a small sigh.
"There's no point in going back...it's just painful there anyway, almost as painful as my eye actually...no it's more painful...only by a little though."

Kalan continued walking away from town touching his eye still feeling it's sting, he heaved a heavy sigh and looked at the ground.
"Her hand only stung a little bit too..."
He shook his head and slapped his cheeks pushing down his memories, there was no time for that.

"Hey you."

Kalan lifted his head hearing a voice, he quickly raised his arms in front of his face for defense but saw it was a little girl and lowered his arms relaxing a little bit.
Hearing her address his hair color he looked up and touched one of his bangs.
He looked back down at her hearing her comment about his eyes and continued to listen touching the place next to his eye.
He remained silent until the mention of an older sister, his eyebrows drew down a bit feeling slightly bad for her.

"A sister, if you're looking for someone you could try in that village over there."
Kalan's eyes widened remembering what was in the village as he pointed at it.
"Actually never mind there's no one there you'd want to meet."

Kalan put his hand under his chin and stared at the little girl, he smiled and bent down on one knee so he was at her level.
"How about I help you then. I am the almighty Kalan after all, Tenth commander of the ninth force and the warrior of..." he trailed off for a moment before lowering his head.
"Justice and love....."
He shook his head pushing down his sadness before smiling again and looking at her.
"Do you have anything to go on? A name or appearance, is she cute or attractive, does she have a sister? Oh wait you are her sister....I think I'm asking the wrong questions. Anyway I'll help you find her, I'm not much of a hero but I can at least help a little girl find someone she's looking for. How old are you little one?"

Continuum rubbed his cheek and looked up at Jazz, he rubbed the back of his head and nodded his head taking one hand out of his pocket.
"I suppose you deserve some attention...." Continuum said trailing off.
He leaned forward sprinting at Jazz again.
"Mr.Envoy."

He punched the air causing the air to shiver for a moment, he closed in on Jazz and jumping the air turned his body for a spinning kick towards Jazz's head, at the same time an orange fist came out of what seemed to be reality aiming at Jazz's chest.

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

Reaper grinned seeing the smile on Force's face before the headbutt connected and he stumbled back.
Reaper chuckled as blood ran down his face dripping onto the ground as he gripped the Rapier.
"Just like old times..."
The Reaper faded as the real one flew out of the ground drawing the blood from the clones connected hit into the Rapier before flying at Force.
"Right Force!"

Reaper slammed the Rapier down a large pillar of blood consuming the two into it as Reaper withdrew the Rapier into his body and sent a punch towards Force's face a toothy grin across his face as his pupils shrank.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Luck's eyes widened as his eyes peered over where the building once stood, he looked back at Virtue and flashed an innocent smile before looking over at her companion.
"Now Virtue I was just...concerned for Birth," Luck said grinning. "I was just worried about her after all, I mean Birth having to come down alone, what would any caring brother do but follow after her. She is family after all. I tied you to that pole so you wouldn't be put in danger. The mortal world is dangerous, even that barrel over there can contain a hideous ten legged monster."
He pointed at a nearby barrel against one the buildings
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Linora ran through a small forest as Nature followed after her carried by vines.
Nature moved her hand slightly causing a tree to lift from it's root's and fly at Linora.
Turning Linora crossed her arms in front of her creating a barrier of lines which she materialized as the tree came in contact cutting it to enough pieces to avoid any damage.
Nature created another tree in the place of the old one and continued to pursue her.
"If I may ask Nature, why do you fix Nature after you hurl it at me."
"Well I like to keep things even, use something then fix it afterward. You understand right?"
"Yeah that makes sense," Linora said dodging a vine.
"Good now be a dear and accept your punishment, I promise I'll make sure your body is used properly. You'd make a nice tree."
"No thanks."
"How unfortunate."

Nature snapped her fingers summoning three trees before hurling them at Linora.
Turning Linora jumped and planting her foot on the first tree ran along it.
She jumped and turning sideways kept her moment running along the second tree.
She pushed off the second tree and turning her body sideways cartwheeled out of the way of the third tree before creating lines near Nature head, she quickly activated them.

Nature quickly leaned back dodging the lines but had one cut her cheek, lifting her hand up she touched it seeing the blood.
"Well that wasn't very nice," she said.
Raising her hand more vines grew around her, and the flowers near grew taller as some trees hovered near her.
"I'm thinking running towards a forest might not have been the best move....still I have to get her as far away from mistress as possible."
