Welcome to Gaia! ::

It's here! It's now! It's CHAPTER 5 of the epic saga!

Mlhagalia, after ridding the guild of four of the spies, had called around the guild for another meet. As earlier, the scores of Poll Central gathered in front of a stage, where the bunny eared 'goddess' stood, to give an address to the members. Demon Godddess had also arranged for the remaining 'snacks' to watch from the wall-length window in Kesshutsu's old office, bound by DG's leather straps. What they were about to witness may have been the most crushing thing in their lives.
"Ladies and gentlemen of Poll Central," she began, speaking in a gentle tone, "I thank you all for sticking with us through all of these vicious 'attacks' from that wretched Polling Alley guild. Ever since DG and I took over in Kess's place, bless his soul, they've been ruthlessly attacking us. We have always had a counter-strike, thanks to your support. Their evil guild is slowly falling apart, and now, will be gone completely."
The crowds down bellow Mod Central let out cheers of victory, while the four captives raised there brows. "What does she me-" Suzaka began, quickly interrupted by DG. "Shh...you shall see."
"You have all seen the latest offense. They sent over 10 people to infiltrate our guild. Finally, they have committed an act that can, and WILL be reported! The Polling Alley shall be destroyed...TONIGHT!!!" she screamed with pleasure, as the crowds roared with excitement. TinDragon, Suzaka, Blends, and Kobras, however, were almost sent into shock.
"Shut down? We've done nothing wrong!" TinDragon opposed, knowing his message would fall upon deaf ears.
"While that may be, Mlhagalia and I are quite convincing." She replied, as the others turned around and faced her. She winked, then leaned over and blew a kiss, "Girlish charm, combined with power can be deadly."
She returned to her standing straight stature, and looked at the four's hearts broken. Their guild. Their hard work and determination. Their protest against Poll Central.
Gone.
"I see that this may come as a shock to you all, as well as a great pain." She said, in a sorrowful voice, surprising them. However, her sorrow quickly turned into demented pleasure. "So, please. Allow me to put you out of it!" she shouted, holding out her palm again as the tiny vortex formed. All of them recognized it, and all scrambled, trying to escape. The leather bounding, however, kept them closed tight. For all of them, the white mist flew out of their bodies, and as it left, everything went black. They felt weak, unable to move. It was as if their souls had just been torn from them...and they had been.
"Ohh...the souls of moderators, even the retired ones, always taste better." She squeaked gleefully, looking at the writhed bodies of Blends, TinDragon, Kobras, and Suzaka.
"Once ML comes back, the plan will finally set into motion. GAIA will be ours..."

Everyone at the Polling Alley was worried, as C.C., the one remaining moderator, had received a private message from Kokoryta, the moderator who receieved the harassment case from ML. The message simply stated that the Polling Alley was to be shut down at 12:00 AM PST. No one was in a particularly good mood, except for the two who had just entered the guild, Dolls and Zuka.
Both had a wide grin on their faces as they walked over to the moping group. With child-like vigor, Dolls skipped over to them, and jumped around them happily. "Hey, what's wrong, guys? Bummed about getting shut down? Aw, well don't be! Poll Central was always the better gui-" she didn't finish before Tindzel shot up and stared into her eyes. He was angry as hell right now, and wasn't going to let people down talk the guild.
"Poll Central was NEVER the better guild! It's full of complete idiots who worship false goddess's, calling them 'mom' as if they could handle having kids! You auction yourselves off as slaves as if you think it's a joke! You're no better then a group of chaotic neanderthals!" he shouted while swinging his arms around, and for the most part, accurate.
"Oh, hush up and admit it. This guild was a fluke from the start. It will always pale in comparison to PC." Zuka responded cockily, nodding his head and grinning. The first thought that came to Tindzel's head was that these people were heartless. Actually, he pretty much stuck by that.
"No!" D.K. countered, standing up and starting his own little speech, "Tindzel is right. You guys are a bunch of god damned idiots. The only reason we 'pale in comparison' is because they accept anyone, including dumb a** followers like you!" The two now stood, countering the traitors.
Both parties stood their ground, staring each other down, like wolves ready to pounce. However, before they could, C.C. walked over to them. "Stand down, boys." She demanded from Tindzel and D.K.. They listened, and returned to a regular stance, while C.C. turned to Dols and Zuka. "I'm going to ask you to leave, before I ban you."
"Hah. Like it'd matter. This place is going down in a matter of hours." Dolls sneered, checking her pocketwatch. "Enjoy your last...hmm...four and a half hours in the guild!"
Laughing, her and Zuka turned and started to make their way out of the guild. But, before they could reach the portal, C.C flapped with feathery wings on her head creating a gust, not only pushing them them out of the guild, but banning them as well. She snickered a little before turning back to the group, who looked more downtrodden then ever.
"Guys, there is a way to save the guild," she began, thinking hard, "we just haven't found the answer yet is all."
"Those two have enough solid evidence against us. We're stuck, C.C.." Crono sighed, "Unless we can prove they kidnapped Jengi, we've lost."
"So why don't we? We can break into PC an-"
"Tried it." Tindzel interrupted, "Didn't work, and now they have 8 more captives."
C.C. blinked. Sighing herself, she plopped down onto the ground, and sighed. They were defeated. It was over. What started out as a glorious protest now fell as an abusive group of flamers. How the mighty have fallen.
Well, that would've been the case, if not for an unexpected visit.
Through the portal stepped a man shrouded entirely in shadow. He wore all black, and not even a tiny bit of his skin could be seen. As his footsteps grew louder, the group turned towards him. C.C.'s brows furrowed.
"Hey, you're not a member of this gui-" she was interrupted by the man, who only held up a card that read 'GUILD PASS'. It had never been seen before, but obviously it allowed access to all guilds.
"Well then, what are you doing he-" once again interrupted by the man, who this time held up a photograph. Like earlier, they swarmed around it, and gasped, then again as he flipped to another picture, and yet again as they were shown another picture.
"...Perfect! We have proof now!" Tindzel said with glee. This mystery man had been a beacon of hope, as he just supplied them with the evidence they needed to get their guild back.

I liked this one a lot 3nodding

The suspense! GOD DAMN, THE SUSPENSE. gonk

omg... awesome... more... MORE!!

Amazing!! Though now I have an odd dislike for Dolls and Zuka... just gotta remember this is a story. sweatdrop And guess what...? No critizing this time! You did it very well... 3nodding

Whatever happened to them, anyway?

oh, yeah thanks.

As far as I could tell, nobody here was terribly rude to her. :-/

@Halykon: It was DK she was mostly annoyed by... It seemed she was having a bad day and so was everyone else in the guild but that was a while ago.. I remember getting a PM from her saying 'How do you put up with all that crap in PA?' sweatdrop

Damnit what is up with the quoting today? o_O
