Welcome to Gaia! ::

Hmph...*Orias came up with a GOOD idea for once and coated the bottom of his boots in ice while he was still in the air. After this was accomplished, he landed on the barrier and slid down after Heritage at a much higher speed due to the frozen boots, his now light/ice blade pointing straight at him*

Proto: *Proto looked towards the bed for a moment, out of simply not having expected Micha, of all people, to make a sound. It was Proto's first time actually hearing anything from the child. Other than that, he paid no mind*

Omega: *In pleasure, Omega watched the ignited monster fall to the ground. She wouldn't be surprised if it just burned all of its precious life fluid this way. Turning now to Heritage, Omega witnessed Heritage's improvised maneuver and quickly moved to take advantage of the distraction. Bolting straight down, it seemed that Omega was actually going after KB, but in a sharp change of direction, Omega boltled almost 90 degrees from the direction she had been and went straight for Heritage, who'd just lept upward at Orias. In a move of feral speed, Omega spun and lashed out her tail with that momentum at Heritage's waist, her intent to cut his lower body right off*

Than: *Inside the barrier, Than didn't make any response. Obviously, Ayiana wasn't going to calm down, and Than wouldn't be able to change that. There was little more that he could accomplish here, and Than wanted to help those outside if he could* If I have to stay here in order to keep you from moving any further inward, then I will. But there are people outside who I can help and I want to do so. So can I really count on both of you not going any further than here?

Zeno: *If Zeno was experiencing joy, he didn't show it; his full attention was on the battle. The kids could have been adults for all he cared; they were still going to meet their end with him. Zeno knew that other forces from the forest were arriving, and that he would going to have to change his direction soon* Just die..... *Two panels opened up where Zeno's floating ribs would have been, if he had a human skeletal structure, and two more just above each shoulder blade. Out of these four openings, four extra arms extended. Each one held what seemed to be a shortened form of the Fuuraiken, and these duplicates soon extended into a size equal to the real one, which Zeno held in his right hand. Though these fakes couldn't produce the lightning power almost limitlessly as the original Fuuraiken could, they would function quite well as swords. Armed with 5 blades, Zeno charged into the newly arrived kids and used the four fake blades to slash at anything he got near while using the original Fuuraiken to send high voltage lightning arcs through more distant opponents*

*By now, Mastema had completely closed over the buried BG units. Whether the portal still worked to get them out was up to the casters. Mastema's attention quickly turned to the 23 growlers. He instantly saw a way to slow them down, if not stop them completely. Mastema, without giving himself a chance to rest from his large telekinetic feat, began preparing his next spell to stop the growlers. Unlike the last, there was no indication to the area this spell would effect. In the meantime, after probably taking out a good chunk of the children's guards, the 2Bs and 3Bs turned their attention to the approaching growlers. While the 3Bs could do little more than aim and shoot, the 2Bs played a large strategic role. The heavy chain guns were aimed at the upper part of the grolwer's bodies, specifically aimed at their missles. The bullets were easily large enough to detonate the missles if they got a hit. Using their remaining missles, the 2Bs launched these missles at the lowers sections of the growlers, specifically the knee joints, in the hopes of immobilizing the units by destroying their leg mechanisms. Under heavy fire, the 3Bs would fall, but the 2Bs were armed with extra plating on their left arms in the form of large shields. The shields still allowed the 2Bs to fire while holding them up. Because they could do so little, the 3Bs advanced towards the growlers, attempting to draw fire away from the bigger, more effective 2Bs*

Slayer: *Having seen this battle drag on long enough, Slayer, even as a retired general of the citadel, decided to make his contribution to the battle. In the midst of battle, the ancient vampire had appeared standing near the barrier. KB and Heritage were at another location by now. For the moment, Slayer did nothing, merely watching the battle with the growler units, well aware that there was a much bigger threat behind the growlers. In truth, this unit was the main focus of his attention*

*Orias quickly acted when Heritage disappeared. He had indeed thought that he was behind him, which in turn may have saved him because he teleported straight up into the air and hovered there* >_o My god! No more freaking bullets! It's @#$&ing bullocks! *He turned to what he thought was Heritage, but was in fact an illusion and fired a small energy blast at it. Even if it had hit the real Heritage, it would be more of an annoyance than anything.

The clone growled at Ayiana. "You will be patient or I will hold you down myself! Things are being taken care of." He sighed heavily and shook his head. "Do you think that this is at all easy for me, just sitting here waiting? Do you think I want to stand around doing nothing in here? If I can sit and wait on matters outside, hoping that helping out there will get Phia back all the easier, then you can too, Ayiana!" His tone stated that he would take no backtalk now. He would hold her down himself if he had to. "If Than is unable to find Phia after what's going on outside is done, then you can do whatever the hell you wish, but not until then!"
