Welcome to Gaia! ::

((HAHAHA THE DOUBLE POST......Now...who gets to deal with whom.......AH! Yes....Azeal to them, Akira to the others......PERFECT!))

Azeal had heard the shot fire, and sighed as he made his way to the source. "You're a new face....and judging from the keyblade, you're with my idiot son....how is he by the way?" He looked them both over. "......Ah...those eyes.....Axel? Been awhile. Heard you died....suppose even a nobody can be tenacious enough to survive without a body.....Shame. Now you can witness your host die......oh......right....I suppose I'll only deal with you both until she's done speaking with Hotaru....perhaps you'll be his loyal guard soon....wouldn't that be fun?! Joining us yet again Axel. I'm sure we could even get you your own body if you desired." he cracked his knuckles and took a stance. "Either way, shall we begin. Being the 'gentleman' I am, ladies first. " His eyes were laughing as he looked spoke to Axel.



Akira had merely been minding his own business when two women appeared a short distance in front of him, and proceeded to beat each other. "Hmm....I suppose I should aide Sarah now that a beast as appeared...." He muttered loud enough to be heard by both parties. "Though I am curious to see how that annoying runt handles a true monster almost akin to us." He laughed as he crossed his arms and leaned against the wall. "Please, continue." He was smirking, and with his current posture, you could see the familial ties between him and Hotaru. "Though I suppose I should let you know that if you kill her, or come close, whichever point I prefer to step in on, I'll do so without hesitation, and simply come to kil....." He gave a sigh. "Merely take the fight out of you.....orders being not to kill you....and I'd rather not cross mother.....so you're lucky.....You and your host."

He sighed at Sarah's reaction, before giving Anna his full attention. "Now, that's just a little unfair, isn't it? I mean, I have to hold everything back so I don't kill either of you, but you want to fight me to the death......" He pushed himself off the wall. "What to do, what to do............" He closed his eyes for a moment, before snapping them open. "I suppose a few months in solitary would be worth it." At the same time, massive amounts of dark energy poured off him, staining everything around him. "Ah, Sarah.....either run, or be killed as well. You're choice." His voice had changed into something darker. As he took his first step towards Anna and Phantom, little ripples appeared all around them. "I'd make your decision rather quick Sarah. We both know I truly loathe you, and your power."

He cocked his head to the side. "But you did just ask for help ripping my throat out, right? When I was perfectly content just watching her, and Sarah play with each other." He shrugged. "You're the one who challenged me. Without full understanding." He shook his head and laughed. "Earlier, I was holding back SO much. If you really think water is the trick I'm going to use....so wrong." He reached down, and touched a dark spot. His hand slowly sank. "Because of my own element......No.....it's best just to show you." He pulled his hand out of the darkness, and flicked his hand towards her. "Now, do you truly want a death match, or should I just hold you there till they're done talking?"

((no worries. I was a little confused, but I just thought my comp was tripping.))

He shrugged. "By all means, take all the time you want. After all, I'm technically supposed to be delaying only."


Meanwhile Hotaru and Sephira had begun their talks.

"You.....you're kidding right?! You want me to....." Hotaru was cut off by Sephira.

"Now now, be calm, and concentrate. At least your brother and father are having fun...and you know with a single word, their fun will turn deadly..." She was smirking.

"You evil twisted.........." He grimaced. "So, all I have to do is say 'yes', and you'll call of your trained lunatic, and that b*****d?" Her answer was a nod. "Fantastic......But what makes you think I have such little faith in my friends?" He was smirking.

Axel stared at him in a blank ‘Are you joking?’ manner. “You’re seriously offering me, the chance to join up?” He barked out a sharp laugh. “I know you haven’t missed my reputation for being a traitor. Besides, I even if I did by some frozen hell chance decide to join and you got me a body of my own, what would you do with her after that?”

Azeal scratched his head. "I believe the host body is still considered one of his friends.....so she wouldn't be touched. Unless he didn't want her around. But that would be an issue to take up with the guy in charge of your little unit. Not me." He gave a shrug. "Though if at all possible, I'd rather not ruff up a couple of girls. Even if one of them is you, Axel."

Akira sighed. "Guess he's going to be missing a lover.....Oh well, you're choice. I'm just defending myself at this point......guess my call earlier was spot on." He smirked. "Just a few minutes later and you're already acting like us....violent, rushing into a fight. You really would have made a great addition to us, if you hadn't left...or decided to start a fight with me now..." He shrugged. "Have it your way though." His body instantly sank into the darkness, which started seeping into the surface of whatever it was on. "But you'll have to find me first. How's a little game sound ladies?" His voice echoed, and each word sounded as if he were further and further away.

"Nope. Hence the not being there anymore." Akira laughed as his voice traveled through the water in the pipes.

Azeal sighed. "Now, don't be like that. It's not as if the guy in charge is a stranger." He gave a grin. "In fact, it's the same person who brought you here. He's currently in negotiations to join us.....his idea if I remember what Sephira said." He scratched his chin. "Yes! He called us from his ship, shortly before crashing. Saying he was here to join us again, though he had to pretend to be out to kill us, to keep you all from turning against him."

((Azeal. Spin doctor of evil. I hate liars.....but damn does it suit him....))
