Welcome to Gaia! ::

It was a wonderfully bright, sunny day in Entei, the glistening skyscrapers of the futuristic city was a gleaming metropolis. However, when the night began to draw near, after the golden sunset had fallen behind the horizon, the Hypersphere came alive. A giant circular stadium, the edges were lined with great arcane crystals. They grew bright and soon they caused for a force field to create a dome over and around the stadium, leaving only the main entrances open for those with tickets. As soon as the force field was up and complete, everyone in the city knew it was time for the next great gig. This time, it was Maximum Beat's performance. An entire night to show themselves off to the audience, and most importantly, for Lilly to express her feelings through music. With the fall of night, the stadium had queues going longer than any other performance in Magic Earth, in the background the muffled sound of music took hold like a godly call from within the sound proof dome. Great lights shun bright into the sky like it was the 1920's calling for the public to come see. Passing through the main gates and under the seating area, crowds of people were sat in their seats. In the centre, the entire stadium was the dance floor for Maximum Beat. Except the platform they stood on was one large, singular sheet of thick glass, beneath them a bottomless hole with lights shining up. For now the platform was empty.

Then the music dulled down. Everyone in the seats around the circular stage hushed, and a slow humming sound grew louder, patiently. As the cheers returned they got ready for the great show to begin. As the music began to become recognisable the inside of the dome's walls above them had holograms showing "MAXIMUM BEAT". Then the sound of guitars came blaring through, a steady beat to begin Maximum Beats famous new single and cover of "This Will Be The Day". Then with the crash of drums came a splash of water from the glass platform, it jumped up like a misty creature before forming into a woman, Lilly. "They see you as small and helpless, they see you as just a child!", and the crowds became crazed. "surprise when they found out that a warrior will soon run wild!" Lilly sung, and the music crashed louder and with the small gap between lines she let her watery dress disperse onto the floor. As it rushed out along the glass like a growing, rippling puddle it crashed up in two more placed to aggressively materialise Tonas and Konnar, the drummer and guitarist of her band. When all the water was gone, the song went on.

"You want a romantic life of fairytale and full of charm! Beware that the light is fading, beware as the dark returns!!!" Lilly roared through her mic, which was attached to her ear neatly and hovering to the side of her lips. When she sung she danced too, quite often acted out scenarios, it was part of the joy in watching her perform, especially at the Hypersphere. The Arcaz Sovereignty's technology was just so advanced anything seemed possible. She could see her fans before her, camera flashes, cheering crowds , Tonas and Konnar blasting their musical talent through their own instruments around her. "This world's unforgiving, even brilliant lights will cease to burn!" and then all three of them came together to sing a line "Legends... Scattered..." and bam! The guitar solo's time to show off. Tonas then suddenly got lifted into the air playing his guitar as the glass beneath him became a small platform rising high into the air like a giant prismatic pillar! All around him, a giant hologram of himself so the audience could pay him attention.

Laxion at this point, couldn't help but lean back and give Ruby a glance of astonishment "woh" he mouthed to her, knowing they wouldn't be able to hear each other amongst the music. As the solo subsided the pillar came back down to join Lilly and Konnar, Lilly preparing for the big finish to their first song of the evening. The floor was beginning to grow brighter beneath Maximum Beat as she began to jump on the spot with more energy each time. With the crash of the drums coming back in the glass shattered, not really though, it was a hologram, the floor was still there but shards of glass flew up above them creating a confetti of mesmerising, reflecting shards like stars around them. From the force field that covered the stadium like a dome, descended hologram figures, using the shards as platforms to jump and role down to attack Lilly. "This will be the day we've waited for! This will be the day we open up the door!" she repeated, stressing greatly to flaunt her arms out as the glass and figures turned to sparkling dust falling down from the dome roof. "I don't wanna hear your absolution" she continued, as the dust began to spiral. "Hope you're ready for a revolution!" and the dust began to take form into a serpentine dragon that glowed blue. "And victory is in a simple soul!" she finished, the song subsiding and the dragon taking shape of a giant note symbol before losing all of its dragonic features and becoming an ordinary, giant glowing note. The cheers roared as the lights dulled down and Lilly smiled to herself and Konnar and Tonas.

"Hey everybody!" she shouted to the audience surrounding her in all directions. "You ready for our latest, newest release! I know you've been waiting a long time for it...". Laxion gave Ruby stare and a cocked eyebrow, he didn't know a new song was being released, then again, Alexis wasn't here to tell them all about it any more... Quietly, the music began to fade into existence and Lilly smiled before quietly announcing. "We've covered another song we hope you'll enjoy...". Backing singers appeared from flying platforms spiralling downwards from the dome and swooping past the audience on all sides saying "What can i do for you?!" as Lilly said "Real Emotion".

((sorry this post is so big, next post will be a bit chaotic...))

With the sudden rush of people like rats on a dying animal, Maximum Beat watched their fans come closer and wrap themselves around the barrier than surrounded their glass platform hovering above the giant gaping, darkness beneath them. As she began to sing, she began to dance "Far beyond the hazy borders of my heart". Laxion meanwhile was becoming divided from his partner as the rush and manic rushed passed them. He called Ruby's name to begin with and then realised there was no point in even trying. He didn't want to lose her, not here, she wouldn't know her way around! "Every now and then i don't know what to do, still i know that i can never go back" Lilly continued, singing with a smile spread across her face. Meanwhile Laxion was becoming irritated and began barging past a few people, but he knew amongst all this blasting music he wouldn't be able to. Instead, he resulted in using force. Blowing through his lips he let through a small gust of wind to make a small gap between the people towards Ruby's direction, meanwhile it seemed another passer was helping her. "Hey!" one man said, a woman then adding "You're not true fans if you use magic!". IT was true... most of Maximum Beat's fans were less skilled in magic, because Maximum Beat were less skilled themselves.

finally reaching Ruby he got up to the mystery man and gave a nod of thanks as he looked to Ruby and coudln't help but sigh and looked back at the people. He then proceeded to gesture to both of them with a twiling finger around his ear to emphasise how crazy this was. But still, he was enjoying it. Right then and there a short, ong haired brunette ran past with one hand up, she wore a red dress with short frilly skirt and black tights as she shouted "Wooo Sis!!! You rockt hat stage Lilly!" as she leaned drastically over the barrier. Peering over towards Lilly, she was then singing "And oh, i know, the world of real emotion has surrounded me, i won't give into it!". But the brunette;s gaze moved off tot he edge as she watched a couple of men dressed in tight wrap silvery cloth jump over the barrier and onto the glass. "what the-" Laxion mouthed before another brust passed him and jumped over the crowd and onto the glass. Lilly, looked obviously shocked, but continued as if it were the plan. Dancing and meanwhile dodging the now apparent deadly attempts to wound her with short knives she managed to use the Hypersphere's abilities to her advantage, creating holographic doubles to confuse them. Laxion wasn't sure what to think, but then it become obvious the three men were soon becoming too much for her, but she kept a strong face on as she sung and danced between different appearing platforms of glass. "Lilly!!!" urged the brunette, she looked as though she was going to jump off like raging cat. But that was when another, female figure leapt onto the stage. This one had on blue clothing that clung to her arm and legs, some revealing more skin that others, such as her back and cleavage. She had long blonde hair and held a staff, accept it was a Scythe. "And when, i find, the world of real emotion has surrounded me" Lilly went on. Then the scythe wielder let out several arcane missles just like Alexis' as they rushed for the villains and caused one of them to tumble to the floor.

It was going towards the end oft he song now, and the other band members were lookign agitated, unsure of what to do as the music was drawing to a close. "I won't give into it, now i know that forward is the only way my heart can go". And then she stopped singing as Alexis ebgan to struggle to keep away from the sudden attempts on her life as she lashed out with her hand and from it let loose a swipe of snowy aura as it rushed to the floor and froze the three men's feet to the ground. There were icy spikes leaping from the glass floor like daggers as she stared at what she had done. The music then stopped, the other band memebrs staring in shock, the Hypersphere's lights pausing in place, the audience gasping and the brunette holding her face with an expression of pure shock. Murmers began to break out, yes, the villains were kept awa, but they didn't know they weren't part of the act. They were more bothered about the magic. "Uh, what is she? She's been lying this whole time!" Boos began to reach out as others said "Lying magic-doer!". Lilly's chest glowed very slightly a cyan colour as she looked around holding her chest, unsure of where to look, fear stricken across her as she figured out what to do. "I- I'm.." her mic amplified as she tried to say something. "I.." the mic then cut off as she suddenly made out to run from the stage. The brunette then rushed to follow her, noticing Lilly shouting amongst the outrage, but no one could hear her without her mic. As she placed her hands on the barrier she prepared to push herself over until the barrier began rapidly frosting over, cold air crawling along the ground. Fear over coming her she tried to say sorry as she jumped over, the crowd parting as to not touch her like she was a disease, she then proceeded to run out through one of the corridors, frost following her every foot step. Gazing back at the stage, the scythe-wielding woman gazed on with a blue hood and cape before arcane runes surrounded her and she vanished in a flash of blue light.

Laxion gave the man and Ruby a look as if it ask them what they thought, he was obviously stricken with disbelief and confusion. He felt it disgusting how the audience treated her, but at the same time so much had happened so quickly. At first he was shocked, and then confusion overwhelmed him, but then as the fear in her face became obvious, and as she ran... it reminded him of Ruby and how she reacted only yesterday to the Monks of Shiyobusa Summit. Laxion gestured to tell them I'm going after her with a tilt of his head towards the way Lilly ran in fear. Right then and there the brunette had shoved her way through the crowd and followed after the singer.

((sorry, was another long one, a lot of characters crying ll. P.S the brunette is my other character, Scarlot Tamiya-sotaru, the blonde woman who tried to save Lilly on the stage with magic is a mystery character))
