Welcome to Gaia! ::

((well, this is sad, we've lost two already))

Mokthol continued to walk through the thick brush. The ground under his feet was becoming more rough, he must have been walking towards the center of the island. A few rain drops began to fall, hitting Mokthol directly on the head, and other hitting the leaves on near trees. Peaceful sounds echoed through the forest. He took a deep breath, noticing the increase in humidity. As he continued along the forest, he noticed a cave up ahead. He walked towards it.

(It isn't bad. it is good because they weren't posting anyway. Now we can get people who actually care.)

(Ahhh, It feels good to get rid of the trash twisted )

Nelia had left the hotel during the night. She had somehow left something behind in the jungle that was precious to her. Nelia never found it though. She was too exhausted from the nights events and used her powers in excess. The strain on her heart caused her to pass out on the jungle floor. She died in her sleep of a heart attack. The corpse was never discovered.....

".....subject 8 has flat lined......send out cleanup...."
".....have the replacement prepared......."
"......loaded and ready.....launching......"

(Sorry its so long...)

Koji woke slowly to the sound of an airplane engine droning away. The sound, like a giant angry bee, invaded his head and immediately began giving him a headache. He discovered he was strapped down, most likely in a straight jacket, when he went to rub his head. Straps were never good. He raised his head enough to look around him. He saw the sparse fittings of a military transport plane. Koji sighed softly.

A transport, and drugs to knock him out, could only mean one thing. They were taking him somewhere new for more tests. More abuse. He shook his head slowly, wishing he could rid himself of the throbbing pain induced by the motor drone. He noticed that he was the only passenger, other than him it was a cargo flight. He noticed tether lines hooking into a cable at the top of the cargo deck. He guessed it was to open the parachutes needed to drop them safely. He looked at his own tether line. For some reason, that was the last straw. He was not some piece of ******** baggage to be dropped like a unwanted toy in some god-forsaken corner of the earth. As Koji grew increasingly angry, the temperature around him started to rise. An alarm began to buzz suddenly, though Koji payed it no attention.

A door opened and a crewmen began hurriedly checking all the boxes and crates. He was too late. A blue-white corona bloomed around Koji, instantly turning the tether line and straight jacket to ash around him. He stood up, still glowing an unearthly blue-white, and started for the man. The crewmen reached for his gun, but thought twice about it. "Look kid, you kill me and my partner, we all die. You're 25,000 feet up. Even you can't survive that fall."

Koji, not too far gone to use logic, immediately extinguished the flames around him. He sighed, and sat down on the bench nearest him. The crewman nodded and handed him a canteen. "Listen kid, I don't like this any more than you do. When I saw you there, listed as cargo, I about punched out the man loading you up. My co-pilot stopped me. Said I'd be shot before the punch landed." Koji stared impassively at the man, not really understanding why the man felt a need to be violent towards Koji's handler. It didn't make much sense to him. A green light came on, and the pilot swore softly. That's your cue, kid." He handed Koji a parachute and strapped a backpack to him, noting sadly the statuesque quality Koji took on. The rear cargo doors opened, and he walked Koji to the door. Good luck kid."

Koji stepped off the back ramp as impassively as one might step off a curb. The wind immediately snapped his head back and and tucked his body instinctively. Though the altitude was severe, due to his augmentation Koji had no problem breathing in the frigid cold. He plummeted towards the earth at an alarming rate of speed, almost perfectly aerodynamic in his huddled ball. As the form of an island made itself clear in the ocean, he opened his arms and legs to spread his descent. The parachute, which he had never put on, was whipping dangerously in his left hand. He slid the back pack style loops over his shoulders, but didn't bother to buckle the belts under his legs. The parachute deployed automatically at its set height, snapping Koji roughly. He kept his grip as well as he could on the parachute, but one strap snapped under the strain. Koji wildly grabbed for the broken strap in a vain effort to regain control. The parachute cartwheels violently, spinning like a drunken child's toy through the air. The last thing Koji remembered was the water looming under him and a sudden jolt as he stopped.

Leeloo began to cry. "You gave them permission but you killed them." Her shoulders racked with heavy sobs, she fell to her knees. Her vulnerable side was showing. This whole experience was too much. M would pay. She shivered in the cold, and tears ran down her face. As a soldier reached out to grab her shoulder, her hand shot out and grabbed his wrist. Twisting it and twisting it until a satisfying crunch was heard. The man screamed in pain and Leeloo stood up. You could see flames of hatred in her blue eyes, and she dug a hand into the rib cage of the leader. Some men approached her, and aimed a few attacks at her. With the back of their guns. Leeloo did not flinch, but felt the pain rush through her.

She was circled by guns. The leader slowly got up, wincing. "We have made a new gun. One shot at a target and every shot goes to that target. It took a while to get it right." The guns clicked and the searing hot bullets cut into Leeloo's soft flesh. She flinched, and hot tears ran down her face, and she attempted to escape into the ventilation shaft, like she had when she was first brought to Earth. The bullets embedded themselves into her skin and the metal of the shaft was covered in holes.

For assaulting a military officer, especially the general, Leeloo would be brought in.
"She is in the air ventilation system. Turn all the fans on and watch all exits." The General ordered. Leeloo could be heard crawling through the metal tunnels and was easily found until she managed to get further inside the system. Her injuries caused her to bleed and her liquids found ways out of the system to drip on the floor and give away where Leeloo was or had been.
"We want her alive. Change the ammunition you use."

The soldiers nodded. "Yessir!"

Things were not looking too peachy for Leeloo. She kept crawling, in desperate hope to escape. Hot air blew in her direction. She looked at the metal grill on the side. With a single push it flew out of the hinges. Blood dripped down her arms and chest and legs. She crawled on. But on the floor, the men had a new technique. They shot anywhere at the shaft, in front of her, behind her and at her. She gasped in pain as more bullets found their target. Everything was spinning, and the blood loss was getting to her. She collapsed, curled in an awkward position and her hand hung down from the shaft. Silence. The room was filled with the excitement and anticipation of an attack.

Solstice was deployed from a helicopter with an unneeded parachute. As she was pushed out, she threw it aside and freefell towards the earth below. Earlier her purpose stated was in replacement of another, the purpose, unclear. A few meters from the ground, she finally snapped her wings outl, just in time to gain an updraft in which allowed her a graceful landing. No current threat to her presence resided considering all the others were else where. Some sheer twisted test for them all to survive, but what to survive against other then the island's natural threats she did not know. "Oh well" Slowly and carefully, she got up from the tangle of tree banches she was in. As soon as she was loose, she jumped down to the more stable haven of the ground. Giving her surroundings a quick look see, she began her way foward in no particular direction. All there was to do know was explore and go in search along the shore for possible friends.
