Welcome to Gaia! ::

Jin smiled and played with Nathan's hair gently. "You need to relax more maybe I should give you a back rub." He offered. He went and moved a little rubbing the man's shoulders. "Why are you so nervous? Relax have a little fun." He said softly.

((It was ackrland))
Leon finished his transformation a little early, resulting in a smaller dragon then before. Of course his meant he was faster. He dodged the first punch and brought his wings together a shield in front of him. They absorbed the first few hits as he hid behind them. He blew his flaming breath directly below him to try and burn the bottom of Clayton. At that moment he turned and tried to swing his tail to take of Clayton if he jumped. He let out a roar, taking a look at Peng. "GO!" He roared out suddenly, indicating the girl. Some small part of Leon knew what the mission was. Leon could escape after beating this guy down, the girl was more important though.

Jeremy nodded. "I see..." Jeremy put his hands on both Tyler's shoulders. "Don't worry. I know just who can show you around. Your power, it seems, comes from the light." Jeremy went and got a map of the school, then pointed to a spot. "Go here. You will find other students that will help you and tell you everything. Ask for Derek." He eyes the pills he gave him. "And please come to me if you have any more problems. Classes for you will begin tomorrow."

Clayton DID jump, but was met with a tail and felt himself flying across the room again. Except this time, he landed one foot on a table, the other on a wall, and supported himself with one hand... Digging his nails into the wood. His breathing was heavy.

Peng was worried before, but it seemed as though Leon was conscious enough to be able to maintain some of his logic. "My apologies, ma'am," Peng said as he picked Clone up and started to leave.

"NOooooAAAAAAAAARGH!" Clayton's furious cries at seeing Clone be taken became like the roar of the tiger. Almost too quick to notice, Clayton jumed straight... OR sideways... Onto the ground. Except he was on all fours, and larger... In Clayton's place, there were two bengal tigers; one orange and one white. The orange one had blue eyes while the white one had piercing yellow eyes. The white tiger roared with fury and ran zig-zags toward the dragon, taking the tail and going to bite it as hard as he could.

The other tiger ran toward Clone and Peng, jumping toward them, Peng was phased through but now the tiger had Clone in his jaws. He let her down gingerly, then turned to Peng, lowering in defense, growling as his massive body protected Clone.

"So it IS you... I should have known. Clayton, you are a fool."

Clayton roared.

"New plan, Leon! we take Clayton instead! Do whatever you can to knock his emotional half out!" Peng slowly took out his sword and let it hang by his side. "This is nothing personal, Clayton."

"He owns a small mansion and I am its only butler," Nathan muttered bitterly, "This entire place only has me to thank for how well it looks. Its nearly all I do here..."

Clone had tried to stay close to Clayton during the fight, but it was proving difficult. She let out a yell as Clayton was suddenly knocked back. She was about to approach him to see if he was alright, but soon saw him rise, and she stepped back. He seemed...different. Was it what he had told her yesterday? About how he sometimes 'blacked out'? It made her nervous. Her tail was puffed up, and it flicked to and fro rapidly behind her.

"Clayton? Are you...?" She ended up moving to a corner of the cafe, cowering. What was going on? Who was the Order? What did they want with her!? She saw Clayton get smacked by the dragon's tail and called out his name, only to suddenly be taken away by the other man.

"No! Let me go!" She struggled, pushing against him and was about to bite his arm when suddenly she was taken out of his arms and into the jaws of a tiger. She yelped, about to struggle again when she was set gently down. She stared up at the tiger, eyes wide. Wait...Was that...Clayton?

"Clayton...?"

((It's hilarious cause I meant to say Lion, when I orignally was thinking gorilla and forgot to delete. And hence, the gorilla lion was born!))

Leon was having trouble keeping up with the tiger. He thought he got the upper hand when he felt his paw scratch the tigers side but he noticed the attack for the neck. He made a risky move and did a quick shift. He shrunk into a poisonus snake. He felt his tail bitten by the tiger but tried to bite it's neck in return, hoping to poison it to numb it.

Tyler looked up. "Um... Are you derek? I was looking for someone named derek, Jeremy sent me. Said I could learn how to get started here. Someone to show me around..." He said weakly. He hoped he was more like jeremy and not the first man he met. His wings fluttered slightly.

((Haha it's okay! I'm just glad we're entertaining! =P Ppssstttt... shameless plug. Check out the RP I made here! I need people >.<))

((Haha, quiet from the peanut gallery. XP But yes, he does have an interesting RP going on and I'd be thrilled if a few people would join it if they could. ^_^ ))

"Oh, yes! I think so..." Derek flipped through the journal he held, "I don't think we've met. Yes, I'm Derek. What is your name?"

Damn snake! But he had the tail, so with some quick thinking he threw the snake smack onto the ground. He was about to use his paws to stomp on the snake but then...

Clayton couldn't respond to Clone, so he just kept running. He made sure to run only as fast as he could with Clone hanging on, and he jumped up through alleyways and nearly caused a couple car accidents. His goal was clear; Ash's place. His parent's old employer; they would keep Clone safe. There were a lot of them, and Ash had dealt with ghosts before. He had to make it there... It wasn't far, he was almost-

Peng's sword went right through the tiger's shoulderblade and through his heart. Its eyes went wide before rolling to the back of his head, and he fell dead beside Leon.

Peng pulled the sword out, a cold, unfeeling look in his eyes. He used a napkin from a fallen table to wipe off the blood. Then he threw the napkin onto the white tiger's body as the body began to fade from view. "I was right," Peng whispered.

Clayton froze, feeling a sharp pain all over his body, he collapsed on the sidewalk. He tried to move, but he started crawling, and he shifted forms back into his human self. His left eye was back as a tiger's, and the jewel around his neck was blue. "I... I don't... OW Damn... Clone." Clayton looked at Clone and sat up, a gash down his side and on his chest up his shoulder. It hurt, and he was bleeding a lot. He couldn't go ********. This is embarrassing," Clayton muttered once he realized he was naked. He couldn't remember anything after being bitchslapped across the room by a bear. But he did know one thing... He was heading to Ash's. "Clone, go... Down this street, as fast as you can. Take a right on Haves street and knock on the door of the first trailer you see on the left. Tell Ashley everything. Ngh, sh-she'll know what to do... Hurry, before they show up..."

Most of the crowd avoided the scene, though one man came up to the two. "Hey man, are you alright?"

"Fine, I'm fine! s**t's about to go down though so I'd run if I were you!"

"Are you sure you're-"

"YEA, I'm fine man, jeez!"

"Jeez, alright..." The man walked away, still wanting to hep but offput by Clayton's attitude that he didn't care much anymore.

Jeremy looked at Clara's dad, and he gave the man a warm smile. "Oh, welcome! I'm surprised to see you; if you had called I would have given you directions and maybe set something up for your arrival. Clara's been very helpful, and she's made a lot of friends."

Brutus watched Clara reunite with her father, and he kept quiet.

Hypatia gave him a seductive chuckle. "Mmm, a man with a name like that should live up to it. What kind of power do you have, boy?" She asked, ignoring the company that came and went.
