Welcome to Gaia! ::

Jumping up into the air, with his gun aimed right for the cloaked man. Zetsuei let the scythe hit him in his right shoulder which cut into his sckin but not quite to the bone , and as it did he shot a round from each of the three barrel which was imbuned with a different type of magic, one with thunder, one with fire and the last with ice energies.

"Damn this guy is tough, his speed and strength matches my own"

Falling back to the ground he watched his glowing bullets race towards thier mark.

Maki smiled and walked along side Fira.

"I'm sorry you fell down," she said. "It must have been scary. That's why I'm sort of afraid of tall heights. But I can't remember when it happened. My ninja teacher used to make fun of me because I won't scale a tall tree."

"Yeah, but look here we are," Maki said as she started looking for the perfect branch. "The branches of a sighing tree work best on broken arms .... here we go."

She said bending two branches back and forth until it broke from the tree, then pulled down a long thick strand of gypsy moss down from the tree.

"Okay... bend your arm out gently as far as it can go without hurting. I need to see how much leeway I can give the bandage," Maki said. It felt good to be able to help someone after being useless for a whole year she thought to herself. I hope Zetsuei and Shinja are doing fine without me, I miss them. I sure wish I wake up soon.

Waiting for the right moment Zetsuei jumped up into the sky then using the cloaked mans scythe to give him extra momentum jumped off the scythe gaining more height.As he rose a little higher then the cloaked man Zetsuei fired three rounds imbuned with lightning energy out the gun at the mans chest hoping one would hit and send its elelctric power throughout the mans body.

"Your not going to be able to get my gun away from me that easy"

The wound on his right shoulder wasnt bleeding too bad, but if the battle intensified it might rip more.

Maki watched as Fira pulled her arm out a little.

"Not as long as the elbow is out. It doesn't look like its shattered. Let's just bandage it the way your holding it," she said placing the two branches on both sides of her arm, then wrapped the moss strand around it like a bandage. When she was done wrapping it she tied it off and sat back. "There you go. It should heal better now. When you are able to move it more without pain you can loosen the wrap until you are able to move it around freely without any pain whatsoever."

Maki smiled and started looking up at the sky, then back at Fira.

"I hope my friends find me soon," she said. "You know...the last time I looked up into the sky. I saw a beautiful bird fly over my head, it was on fire of course but not because someone bad set it on fire. I think it was a phoenix. The other thing I saw fly in the air was after the battle with DarkTail that same day, a magnificent dragon. My grandfather told me it was Tiamat the dragon elder ... it was so cool to see him fly. I wasn't afraid at all that day, even though I was sick. But I didn't want my bestfriend Shinja to worry about me and I didn't want to be a pest to my grandfather as we were already on our way to deliver Greed to his homeland."

"Yeah. I thought it was an angel coming to take me from this world," Maki replied rubbing the back of her head and smiling. "I was ready to die. I was so tired."

Maki looked down and felt her side.

"I didn't want to live with the darkness he forced into my body," she admitted and began frowning. "But it looks like it survived and it's sucking the life out of me. It's only a matter of time before I die now. That's why I'm hoping my friends will find me soon. I don't really like being alone."

"I'm not sure, Katrea was infected long before the battle," she said looking at the sky. "I hope Shinja doesn't have it. He's been hiding alot lately on Shadow Island. But then he showed us this wonderful aircraft he built."

"This guy acts like nothing is effecting him. What is this guy."

As he fell back to the ground, he fired another round imbuned with fire energy at the ice spell which had been casted in his direction. A stray beam of the ice spell had caught him in the right shoulder which he had been cut by the scythe, the ice spell had ripped the wound open a little more but didnt bleed.
