Welcome to Gaia! ::

(( Cheshure isn't with Sai and Evie ))

Cheshure looked into the sky for a moment. His whiskers pirked and twitched as dark clouds began to gather in the sky, he thought for a moment and said. " Doesn't that just add to the moment. " He said softly. He looked towards Serena and Karana. " Well I guess we know where the Mad Man is. "

The clouds began to funnel downward forming a spiral almost like a tornado would. The wind began to pick up as pieces of the glassed over city began to shatter and fly into the air sending dangerous amounts of hot glass into the now heavily blowing wind. As the cloud funnel dispersed floating within it's core stood the ever popular Mad Man. He looked down at the city the usual smile that graced his mouth was not gone, his eyes partly closed formed out of anger. The color in his eyes shifted gently ranging from dark to light. He began his descent towards the ground. " My my what do we have here? " He asked. From his vantage point he could see almost every single one of his Sentinel fighters. " Well looks like we underestimated our Eden and Cleanse friends. " He landed on a tall building which had been glassed over. " This is very disappointing. " He said softly. " I believe a retreat would be good, we'll discuss the failure later. " He thrusted his arms out towards the horizon. His strange black and blue energy built up in hia hands. He fired the energy spreadin the beam in a perfect circle around him the circle's circumference was over 2 miles long. Once the circle was complete the destruction began, buildings began to collapse around him. He watched as a series of explosions followed where his beam had traveled. " Sorry I like to leave me mark. " He looked down. " Sentinels, let's move. His message sprang out throughout the whole of London. He turned and looked down, he knew Lucas and Lena weren't in a position to move. He leapt down fro mthe building landing on the ground leaving cracks in the concrete below. He looked down at them and shook his head. " Looks like you had fun. Need a hand? " That wasn't meant to be a pun against Lena begin limbless. He sighed and signalled for three winged monsters to swoop down from the sky. He told them to pick up Lena and Lucas and get them out of here. " Let's go, we've lost this round, but we've left hald of London with a nice glassy landmark. "

Vincent looked into the sky at the Mad Man's message. He looked towards Sebastion and Sade and shook his head. " Next time, I'll enjoy feasting on your blood. " His body dispersed into mist and vanished, they were done here they needed to recooperate.

(Sorry, long road trip = quickly and very few written responses. It'll stop in about 2 days.)

Sade was extremely proud of herself for summoning something outside herself. Even though she didn't get to use the dragon she was able to send it back with ease. She turned around and watched Sebastian smirk at his victory and Vincent disappear into his 'mist' just as the ground shook violently beneath their feet, courtesy of the Mad Man, she supposed. Sade shielded her eyes from the shards of glass and ice that flew around her for several seconds before finding her way back to Buckingham Palace.
"Need a hand?" Sade asked as she walked by Sebastian. Sade could hear Avari yelling at her to punch him but Sade didn't, no matter how tempting Avari made it sound. "I'm going back to the palace, you might want to hear what they have to say since you're part of this now, too." Sade made her voice casual, not really caring if he wanted her help but feeling like she should make up for Avari's rudeness, which was really unlike Sade. Sade didn't really care what people thought of her or Avari, they saw and heard what they wanted and that was their problem.
"Well?" Sade asked, in a hurry.

((Back from my holiday, hopefully this'll do biggrin , sorry it's so long! xp ))

Elizabeth slept against the wall of the training room after exerting herself, until she fell forward as she felt the ground shift around her. Her short nap had refueled her powers, and her remaining spell books fell to the floor as she ran out of the room, finally reaching the opening elevator. She hastily curtsied as the Queen emerged from it, before the others practically ran out of the small box, allowing her to get in and send it to the Palace level.

The others were long gone by the time she left the Palace, gazing around her for a moment as her eyes widened at the glassed over city. She quickly recovered, however, and in moments she was running deep into the city, stopping near the creatures to attack them. Her whisperings caused a nearby lampost to soar through them, tearing down the ranks surrounding her. She could see down another street some of the others fighting, but she was too busy to go and help them.

It seemed to take ages to get rid of the creatures racing towards her, and a few managed to get past the heavy lampost acting as a weapon. In these instances she dropped the makeshift weapon, her whisperings forcing the air inside the creatures to explode outwards. Eventually she managed to break away with only minor gashes and a long cut running down her arm which would turn into an impressive scar, before running down streets until she came to where Renault and Brian were fighting the Sentinel members. She was about to send attacks towards Angelina, who she recognised from the pyramids, but a moment later the Mad Man appeared. She growled at the lost opportunity, wishing she had managed to get there sooner. At the sight of the woman she remembered how she had killed Yukina, trying to hold back her anger as she managed to send a nearby letterbox flying towards her before they retreated.

"It wasn't a challenge at all," Sade said as she slid up behind Sebastian on a ribbon-thin glade of ice. "And, actually, I win." Sade grinned wickedly, glancing up at the beat up group of fighters that was walking in through the broken gates.
Sade walked past Sebastian, trying to get a better look. The smile dropped from her face as they began carrying the wounded and the dead into the courtyard that surrounded the palace.
Sade saw a familiar face among the wounded and rushed to the side of the person who was carrying him.
"Jessie," Sade whispered, staring at the old man in horror. "What did you do?"
Jessie tried to smile but the pain of his ripped open shoulder and bleeding midsection made it more of a grimace. "I had to check on Molly," he gasped.
"Molly!" Sade yelled. "And let me guess, dead?" Sade asked spitefully, wishing he would have forgotten his divorced wife right after the papers had gone through.
He nodded his head with a groan.
Sade threw up her arms in exasperation. "You wouldn't have stayed under there for me?" She asked angrily.
"No," he said and Sade flinched and hung her head, defeated.
"Fine, I'll let you die in peace," Sade said lightly. She began walking back towards the white city, the dragon growing inside her, her anger brimming, and ice flying from her fingertips.
Sade yelled and ice erupted from her mouth, making ice spikes rain down on her and whoever she could feel following her.

Brian folded his arms as looked up at the two of them. " Regardless, your team is in ruins, sort of like this city. Hows that for ironic. " He said softly. He gripped his sword and placed it back into his sheath. " Renault I'm going to go take care of the injured. " He said as he ran towards the edges of the glassed over section, people on the edge were left in crumbled buildings.

The Mad Man watched as Lena and Lucas were evacuated. He floated back into the air. He smiled widely and laughed thunderously. " Congratulations! You've won this round, however the war isn't over, we will not be beaten so easily. Enjoy your victory in your crumbeling city. Next time..... " He trailed off as he began to sift into smoke vanishing. " I'll butcher you. " His body vanished as did the ground and airborn soldiers, it was to far away for him to transport them all to their Western America base, instead they would be taking refuge in Germany, they needed to recuperate, and Germany did have one of the most advanced scientific research facilities in the world, Lena needed to be repaired.
