Welcome to Gaia! ::

*It would likely be a minute or so before the heat really sunk in, after which it would finally register with Eecheb. Spotting the fire, Eecheb hop to a standing position again and quickly find himself only a short distance from the fire, still slightly huddled to keep warm. His wings were half extended, catching what heat they could and keeping it around the boy to warm him up more quickly. It reminded the boy that his mother still had a lighter that had been given to him by Orias. That demon would love this weather, well, considering he was an ice demon. Eecheb would crouch instead of sitting, that would be fine for now. Once he got his fill of the fire though, he'd still have to face the cold in order to get back to the tower*

*Eecheb would be exstatic once Nana finally moved on to teaching them elemental spells. In weather like this, being able to cast his own fire spell would be much appriciated. Water droplettes would form and sizzle as they gainned mass and dropped down into the fire. It wouldn't bug Eecheb much since his wings were covering his head. The water would just roll down the boy's feathers and reach the ground. It was warm enough that it wouldn't freeze, so Eecheb wouldn't have to worry about being stuck in place. The boy would try to ignore Yuri for the moment, playing with his lighter. It only reminded him more of his own-- the one he couldn't have until he was responsible enough. Only a few more minutes.... then Eecheb would be ok again*

"An angelic dog whistle eh?" Tegral chuckled as the snow beneith his feet melted to a pool of water, evaporating into a plume of steam. Orange and blue flames, dancing and twirling in the palm of his hand with more vibrance than any normal fire could produce, it's light an errie glow where fire might be considered an illuminating radiance. "I've had limited experimentation with angels; they're rather touchy about letting me, you know, cut them open. But I think I could work something together. I actually had a redesign for the sonic cannon similar to that. Passive mode, you understand. High pitched screeching to disable a foe, I suppose I could heighten the sound wave's frequency, dirrect it, and use some of your telepathic waves as a basing point to find Mastema and his spawn."

The plasma cannon in Tegral's right arm had been redisgned, along with every other part of him. Instead of the need to refigure his body to allow combat capability he had refigured his power output design to allow his passive body to be fueled by the plasma generator, particularly his right arm. The pores of his palm opened, as irises, allowing the free flowing form of plasma energy, constricted and ionized to a lethal point of destruction. Radiation poured forth, like the waves of the ocean crashing against anything in the immediate area. Tegral was mechanically born, his flesh - though biological - was immune to things like mutation from radiation or disease, so he had no fear of the twisted effects the radiation would have on his body, nor did he care of it's effect on KB or that annoying bot who was the actual target of his cannon.

The data Kah had just fed him was of no use, strange at that. The dojo was rebuilt, albeit differently than before. It now had, instead of one three story building, several smaller structures encompased by a sizeable wall ment to keep out pathedic human forces with no tact for sizeable weapondry. Pah, no matters. Kah and her counter parts were in position, that was good coupled with the latest news from the Nahil's superb training run. What else? Rookin was enroute, an annoyance seeing as how he was suppose to be here before Kah was even activated! No, but it wasn't his fault, he was sure. Akvians do not like Federal fleets flying through their space, likely a skirmish broke out to delay Rookin's arrival. No matters, everything was near going to plan. As soon as Rookin arrives, injects the prototype Angel Forge into Kah's arsenal everything will be ready.

~Tegral are you sure it's wise to give such an unstable being a weapon of that magnitude?~
SARAH chimed into Tegral's thought pattern. With the disolution of hardware mechanics as Tegral's primary base of existance, a bioengineered suit of organic matter now serveing, SARAH had been less and less available to serve. So this little pip of inquiry was quite startling for Tegral.
"I'm sure it's fine," Tegral responded without words, seeing as how SARAH could literally read the brain signals before they arrived at their destination, "The weapon will only work hooked to her kind, therefore she's the only logical one to wield it. Besides, if worse comes to worse I've designed a shut off switch. No worries."

~But Tegral?~
"No buts, everything's fine." End of conversation as SARAH returned to her tasks of prototype designs, fun.

Otaku ends up near the mountains of the citadel with his cart and Scarlet's wings perk slightly. "There is something big going on I think..." Otaku nods "hmm... let's find out." His ears twitch slightly and he kind of listens to the wind and he gathers some information. "well I don't know what exactly is going on... but as long as we avoid the two people fighting I'm sure I could blend in." Scarlet laughs slightly "Those strange clothes will probably surprise them." Otaku nods "I hope I don't get into a fight... I don't want anymore needless bloodshed." suddenly a jarring jolt knocks otaku into the snow ahead and scarlet kind of tumbles into the back. Otaku notices what he hit and he sighs. "oh man..." He goes to move the mstreious object and he notices that it's an trunk probably carelessly discarded from a pilgrimage or something. "well I think I found some clothes" Otaku goes over to the trunk and tries to lfit it but he ends up falling back into the snow. Frustrated he kicks it slightly and he hears ice cracking. "oh... so that's the problem." Otaku chips away the ice carefully and he throws the trunk into the back of the cart and moves on his way.
he climbs back into the cart and he looks at scarlet. "Are you okay?" Scarlet nods and otaku smiles "that's good..." After a while they goback down the other side of te mountain and end up in a forest. "forest.... what's up with this world and forests?" They kind of bump up and down and the finally reach the clearing and otaku stops the cart and stares. "wow this place is just like celestia!!! such a beautiful place."
Scarlet laughs her crimson hair kind of falls back as she places her head back and she looks at otaku with her crimson eyes. "it's your first time here so it isn't any surprise..." Otaku starts moving the modified cart again and he is guided to the enterance to the citadel and he stops the cart and he steps out and scarlet follows after him. Otaku suddenly opens the doors and peeks inside "hello anybody here?" Otaku and scarlet enter the citadel and the door is quietly shut out of respect. Otaku and scarlet walk along the halls and reach a huge room and otaku takes a seat waiting for someone to notice he was in here with scarlet. "well scarlet you know this world better then I would... I don't even know why I'm here really." Scarlet hums happily and fools around with various objects playfully. otaku looks at her "hey don't do that... yu will make noise in here." She accidently drops some cups and it makes some clattering noises.

((Okay the are out in the snow... not inside the citadel.))

Otaku hears something and his ears perk "hey scarlet... there's a person..." scarlet looks to otaku "Yeah it's probably an droid... we have those here you know?" Otaku sighs "oh man...you mean to tell me that there is a useless hunk of junk in the area?" scarlet sighs "yeah... they don't seem very friendly." Otaku sighs "man.... first stuck out here in the snow and now them?" Otaku digs in his back pack and he pulls out some strange vial. He drinks some of it and hands some to scarlet. "I don't know what effect this will have on you but it's something to increase your power if necessary..." Scarlet nods and drinks the subtance and she clutches her head slightly. Otaku looks at her and he sighs "Figures... I knew that formula would do that... it should go away soon." Otaku notices some parts from a wrecked mech and he nods. "intresting... these people still use these things?" He pulls off a weapon from the hand of the broken mech and he lifts it with both hands like it's a bag of dog food. "good sized gun... I wonder if it works..." He tosses it a few feet away and takes apart some panels. "wow... how did they operate this thing without an alchemic drive?" He manages t take apart the radio and he tinkers with it and suddenly he gets some static. "These...Two...creatures..." the rest fizzes out. "huh? are they planning on attacking?" he kind of punches the radio and the thing comes in clear and he hears alot of talking and he speaks into it. "I am of no threat... I'm just simply looking for medical assitance. Yo may haveheard the strange sonic boom two days ago followed by a strange light and a few minutes later an huge explosion. I'm lucky to have used the nanomachines to this extent but I need assitance for the girl is injured from an recent attack."

((you can learn more about him and the girl in the universal thread room))
Otaku stares at the man his fox ears perk up. "hmm... I suppose this thousand year old relic is yours huh?" He looks over to scarlet "hey are you ok kid?" she nods slightly and her crimson red eyes nervously look at him as she hides behind otaku. Otaku looks at scarlet "hey don't worry... your only 8 years old..." He looks to the man "yeah this kid... she was nearly killed by robbers in the forest over the moutain range. Her parents were brutally murdered. I supposed I saved her when I crashed.... She's patched up pretty good but she needs a few stitches. I have a few burns from the explosion... and a messed up arm... I have been taking some stuff from my medkit... but the nanomachines are wearing off." Otaku's left arm is bandaged up pretty good he then looks at the man again. "I'm alright for a little bit I used to be in the military... but the girl needs some attention... it looks like someone tried to patch her up. But she is basically like an adopted kid now...what the hell are you people trying to accomplish? it looks like quite a mess around here... but when I approached it wasn't bad..." He sighs "I could help but I am basically an alien here..."

Otaku looks at scarlet and then he notices the man "scarlet step away from this man..." He stands in front of her "I'm not trying to be mean but you made me nervous the way you stared at her.... if you have someone you know that could help then I would appreciate it." Otaku keeps his hand on his hilt just in case and his right arm pulses slightly. He looks to scarlet slightly "just stay behind me okay?" Scarlet nods and otaku looks to the man "my instincts are telling me to kill you out of protection of the girl... but that's only because I'm injured as well.. I'm glad I have control of them but I would gladly appreciate an medical expert. But I apologize if I seem cautious suddenly but my instincts are quite high. I'm just glad I'm a halfbreed or you would have been like that mech over there...no offense to you. It would have been an accident really..."

Eecheb: Well.... bye, and thanks!
(Or as Twilight put it ' kthxbai ' xd )

*It seemed a little sudden, but Eecheb had his fill of the fire. He wasn't cold anymore, so he should be able to run around for a little while more before he got back to the main tower again. At least he was polite when he thanked Yuri for making the fire, before he bolted out of the building, as he had done earlier from the gym. The boy had collected pleanty of warmth in his feathers, and kept them tight to his back so the heat wouldn't be lost. Yuri could follow him if he liked, or could head back to check on Tyrsais after all this time, his place of residence was still in the east*
