(( Oh wow, really? I didn't notice anything. xP Geez, that sucks. >.< Just rest, it's all good.))
Arya laughed lightly, sighing lightly as she looked at him, blinking a little when he tapped her forehead. "I know you don't Kai. It's just a force of habit. You should know this by now." She smile softly, patting his shoulder before she cocked her head a little, looking around the clearing. "Good plan. Might as well pull them together in an easier fashion...." "Forgive me both of you if this makes you uncomfortable." She called to both Zera and Mathias as she opened portals of light near them, telekinetically pulling them through so that they were standing by the two of them. "Again, I apologize for that."

Kai chuckled when he saw Zera. "You might want to step back it looks like the big bad lizard is about to throw up." he said laughing as he saw the lizard turn a sickly shade of green and wobble. "Toughen up there man... 'Tis just a bit of magic." he teased punching Zera playfully in the arm. "So much for big tough warriors." he added smiling.

Arya frowned a little, she hadn't been sure it would have worked given how his scales tended to repel magic. She felt her legs trembling a little, though she didn't let it show, tilting her head a little with a chuckle. "It'll pass." She said softly, tilting her head as she listened to a transmission from another angel, a frown forming across her features. That can't be... She opened her eyes, her posture almost seeming poised to leap into some form of action. It's too soon.

Tanya was sitting there for a good while until she finally moved, wiping the back of her hand across her mouth to get rid of the already crusting blood from her lips. It didn't taste any good that way.
She moved at the moment only because she had herd something from behind her, and from above. She sighed and stood up slowly and then after a pause, began walking back the way she had come from the air. She knew who it must be, those damn angels again. Well, she had already said, it wasn't any rocks she would be busting this time. If they didn't leave her alone before she found a good opportunity, at least one of them wouldn't be feeling so good in the morning... if they were feeling anything at all.

Arya suddenly flew up into the air without any explanation, and promptly flew off, glancing down to the armlet on her wrist. "Surround and Capture." She said simply as she flew towards where another small alert in her head went off, sensing the other body that they were following. As she started to approach, she saw a swarm of a device she called KNATS, Kinetic Nanotech Aerial Tactics Swarm. "Deploy." Thousands of threads of seemingly light shot out and wrapped around the group of angels that was following Tanya, their wings getting pulled to their body. She caught then telekinetically, lowering them to the ground, hearing the jolt of electricity as one tried to teleport them out of there. "Don't even think about it you three." She snapped as she landed when they did, granted their landing was a bit rougher than her own.
She noticed the masks they wore, pulling one off, immediately making her pause. "J-Jarrod?!" Her face grew dark as she ripped off the other twos masks. "Nathanial and Yuki." She muttered with disappointment and disgust. "You bring shame to us. And to me. Now I must reclaim some sort of honor to counteract this." She snapped her fingers, giving them all another jolt before she turned to Tanya. "I shall take care of this personally Tanya. These three are my responsibility." She bowed to her before the four of them vanished as a strong gust of wind blew through. "Kai, I can't go. I have matters to attend to. It would seem that duty denies me the right to sleep. I'll be at home. The meeting will still happen. Forgive me."
When the four of them reappeared, they were in Arya's home, but in a chamber few had seen. "Scatter and lock." She muttered, watching the three of them separate and get attached to the wall. "You three shame the Forscythe family. What the hell do you think you're doing?! You realize that the council will dub you all fallen and you will never be allowed back home?" She snapped, her own wings standing on end as another two feathers fell.
Jarrod was the first to look up and speak, blowing the blond hair from his face. "Do you forget your twin brother Malachai and what he has done? What we have done is nothing compared to that." He sneered, watching his half-sister's reaction.
Arya froze at that, clenching a hand at her side, punching Jarrod hard across the face. "Don't you dare compare yourself to him. What he did helped make our people what they are today even if it shamed our family. He at least reclaimed what had been lost by his actions." She had noticed how Nathanial and Yuki both shot Jarrod a look, knowing they felt as she did. "Jarrod, you have always done something as destructive as this. Why do you wish to try and start another war with the demons? Enough blood has been spilt over it. All of our parents died in that war. You lost your three brothers. Don't tell me you want revenge." She walked over to Yuki and touched her arm as she had seen the reaction mentioning it had brought.
"Thats exactly it! They took everything from our family! They deserve nothing more than to be sent back down to hell where they belong!" He snapped, getting shocked again as his powers had flared in his anger.
"Violence begets violence! You'll solve nothing Jarrod! We'll just lose more." Yuki shouted, her voice almost sounding pleading, bowing her head before blinking with surprise as she landed on her feet, the bonds gone from her and Nathanial.
Arya nodded to the two of them, watching as Nate held his sister. "Then why are you with him Yuki if you feel this way?" She asked softly, gently, stopping Jarrod before he could speak.
"That would be my fault. He asked a favor of us and I didn't press hard enough for what exactly we were doing." Nathanial told her softly, running a hand through his sisters hair to soothe her.
She nodded, searching their minds to be sure that this was the truth. She knew that they would realize what she had done, but wouldn't mind. They would understand the reasons. She was quiet a moment, not looking at any of them, only the floor. She picked up a feather and felt it's softness, the anger gone from her face and instead a calm resolve. "I will take this upon myself since I am your elder. You will be spared punishment-" She held up a hand at Nathanial's and Jarrod's starting words as they knew what she meant she would do. "All I ask of you Jarrod is that you give up on revenge and stay with Nate and Yuki." She told him, then turning to Nate with a warm smile. "Don't try to stop me, this is what I have chosen. I shall go to them now as this matter with the demons must be resolved as quickly as possible. But, I will want to know whom else is in this resistance movement. I will question you at another time. So, you all will remain here." She glanced around the room, the KNATS letting go of Jarrod as well now. It changed it's appearance so it was more pleasant, splitting into different sections so that they could take care of themselves. "Your powers do not work here, and any weapons seen will be taken care of. I shall return much later this evening for I have a meeting with the other representatives about the cataclysm matter. Until then." She nodded to them all and faded from view heading towards the Angels Council to report what had happened and take the punishment she knew that she would receive for her siblings actions. Forgive me Kai, perhaps I really will be playing dead at the meeting.

Kai didn't like the sound of that second message. Turning his wrist band over he pressed a button and a holographic screen appeared. "Heriz." "YESIR! "Check with our contacts on the Angel's Head concil and their color guard. I want to know what is going on, and what it has to do with Ayra." "Right away sir!" He'd be damn if he was going to let something happen to Ayra... Because he had a pretty solid idea on what had probally happened since Tayna had been the first to take off for a snack. Plus he just plan couldn't stand the thought of something happening to her... no matter what it might be about. He turned back to Mathis and Zera. "Well that was fun!" he said with a smile. "Since we are already at the stone table, if you want to just stay here and wait for the meeting you can. But I'll offer up some clouds to take you home if you have other things to do until then." Kai chuckled as he saw Zera burrow into the ground and settle in for a nap. "Well that answers part of my question... See ya later Mathis. I have to go grab the jacket I left back at the human's base." he continued, still smiling. It was still true... If anything went wrong, he was going to need that jacket and its *cough* contents. Good thing he had put that anti-theft system into it when he built it... He just hoped no humans tried to test it out. Kai waved at Zera and Mathis before fading into the wind and leaving with a strong gust.

"And that is how it stands sir." Arya had explained everything that she could, staring at the council calmly, another feather falling to the ground. "You should understand why I do this." She said softly to the head councilman, watching him grimace and sigh heavily.
"Aye, I do Arya. And they shall be spared. The organization won't once you find out information. After this things will be taken care of normally in relation to you." He rose from his chair, pointing down to Arya with sadened eyes for he knew she understood what this would do to her. "Arya Forscythe, the council has condemned you to the punishment of Single Separation."
"I welcome the council's mercy to this matter. I understand, thank you." She said calmly, two guards coming up to her, kneeling on the ground. She mentally prepared herself as they held a wing outstretched, one feather falling from it. They gave her something to bite on as the one guard raised his sword. It came down swiftly, her teeth leaving deep marks on the wood, fighting the scream of pain that wanted to rip from her throat. She caught herself on her hands, letting them remove the wood as she trembled, hearing some scramble to tend to the wound just caused.
She remained silent as they ensured it wouldn't bleed any further or become infected. She slowly pushed herself up, bowing to the council as they teleported her back to her home where she sank to her knee's panting, a hand trembling as she reached to her back where her one wing was missing. She gritted her teeth and pushed herself up, forcing herself to walk to the door as a projector crystal and six datapads flew into her hands. She stumbled a little, glancing up to the sky to see it was becoming dark. "It is done. I shall speak to the three of you later." She told Nathanial, Jarrod, and Yuki. Then she made her way slowly towards the human encampment, having to pause a few times, ignoring how it felt as if a piece of her were missing.
An angels wing always held a piece of their soul and when removed, part of their soul was removed as well. She could feel that the wound was bleeding a bit, but at least she was almost there. Kai... Things were getting a bit dizzy, but she had a duty to do and by god, she would do it. She knew that he would be furious at her for pushing herself, as would be her half-siblings. If her brother had been there, he would feel the same as them all. But it was how she was, and there was nothing she could do to change that. I'm sorry I'm a stubborn mule.

Tanya had just about turned, one of the stalkers in a perfect position for her staff- when Arya appeared, binding them. She froze, the action almost carried out. She would have either killed the one or at least damaged him greatly, since it seemed they had not been aware of her knowing that they were there.
She would not have tolerated such an insult if Arya had not stepped in, and it would have been a fight right there, most likely with at least one death, unless they ran after she attacked.
She found it interesting that after pulling the masks off, Arya seemed to know them. But it was obvious she had no part in this, so Tanya let it be. She walked away, through the trees that she had previously flown over. She supposed it had turned out that way for the best, had she killed one of them, it would not have ended well for anyone. Even if she had died, her father would declare war, she had not doubt.

Kai had reached the human base camp and found his jacket where he had thrown it across a tree branch. Swinging it on, he scanned the area nervously. He had this bad feeling in the pit of his stomach, Neko's were very senstive to ones they had grown close to. Kai had had the same feeling the day his brother had come back with one less leg. It had destroyed his brother from the inside out... He had hoped never to have this feeling again. Kai's wrist com went off, "Report." "It seems that Ayra's underlings were the ones that were behind the attacks on Tayna... She took full respoinsiblity for them and was sentence to Single Seperation." "I want a meeting with the concil now!" Kai cursed slamming shut his com, and disappeared in a mini tornado. He couldn't stand it... He couldn't stand the thought of Ayra like this. He appeared out of nowhere and wrapped his arms around Ayra in a hug, making sure to avoid where her wing had been. "For a smart person you're a real idiot." he muttered angerly, not letting go.

Arya had been leaning heavily against a tree, opening her eyes when she felt his arms wrap around her, doing her best not to let her legs collapse from under her. She could tell he was mad at her from his angry tone and she couldn't blame him, her hands resting her head on his shoulder gently from her exhaustion and pain, her hands laying lightly on his chest. "I know. But it was to reclaim some form of honor for my family due to others actions. It was my choice to have this happen Kai." She murmured, her remaining wing vanishing from sight. She looked up to him, standing steadily on her legs, calling in energy from the light around them. "I'm sorry for upsetting you so."

Kai took Ayra's face in his hand. "It's not others you need to worry about so much." He looked her in the eye, able to see how much this cost her. "Come here..." Kai wrapped her in a gentle hug. "I know why you did this, and I understand why you chose to... That doesn't mean I have to be happy about it. But I'll support you in whatever decisions you make." he spoke gently, just letting her lean against him.

Arya gazed him in the eye calmly, knowing her eyes would reflect what she had lost. It wasn't the physical pain as much as the spiritual one that hurt her so. She lowered her eyes at what he said, unable to find some comment to retort with, sighing heavily as she rested against him, closing her eyes as she enjoyed his warmth as much as she could. She slid her arms around him, relaxing to try and distract herself from the many things burdening her. "Thank you...You've always stood by me Kai, put up with my stubbornness. Few would." She managed a chuckle before wincing, looking back up to him. "I knew you would be mad. Hell, my half-siblings are probably gonna yell at me when I question them later." She murmured, shaking her head a little.

Once Tanya reached the clearing where the marines were stationed, she beat her wings, rising above the trees, to fly over them. She did not trust those humans, the researchers were at least more innocent in their intentions, and easier to deal with... but the marines, no. She had no doubt that they would attack without a second thought, if only their commander gave the order.
She flew over them quickly, touching down on the other side, where she continued to walk again. She needed to just walk sometimes, keep her legs strong. She headed back toward the designated meeting place, since she had nothing else to do and it wouldn't be long now.

Natasya had sensed what had happened to Arya, but let Kai take care of her, looking up to Sherad with a small sigh, kissing him lightly. "Lets head off to the meeting hm? I know its not for a little while yet, but we might as well leave them be." She mused, grinning as she helped him up, walking at a brisk pace towards the clearing, brushing her long, pink hair aside.

"Probally because I'm as stubborn as you are." Kai stated, rubbing his hand up and down her back to reasure himself and Ayra that she was safe. "Anything that happens, I'll be there. Anything that needs to be done, I'll do. Anytime you need to talk, I'll listen... But only if you bring cookies." Kai joked, trying to bring a smile to Ayra's lips. He hated to see her hurt. Kai wanted so bad to be able to take this pain from her. To trade places with her. To sacrifice himself so that she may be whole again.
