Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ky stood alone in the wide vacant field, the large metal structure in front of him now abandoned, a ghost of the stronghold it once was. A cold wind blew, causing dust to fly across the field in wisps. Ky's cloak flapping in the wind, he started towards the remains.

He had tracked Tiffany's trail again to see where she had fought and killed Gouki. This time, however, the trail was several days old and the going had been slow and tediuous. He had lost the trail more than a couple times, which had forced him to backtrack until he picked it back up again. Despite all this, he had found the place.

As Ky walked through the empty hallways, his footsteps against the hard metal echoed against the empty corridors. Something didn't feel right about all this. It was all too sudden, too fast. The Majin was one of the most powerful and feared organizations in the underworld. An organization like that doesn't just come crumbling down in an instant. Also...there was something about the facility, something that bothered him. He couldn't put his finger on it, but his instincts were screaming at him that something was out of place.

At last, he found where the two had fought. As before, in the forest, the destruction was immense. Ky searched the area carefully. No sign of Gouki or the Reapers. It was just as Tiffany had said. They were gone. Gone...but were they destroyed? Suddenly, from out of the shadows, a low chuckle sounded.

"heh heh heh heh heh. You're instincts serve you well Ky."

Ky turned to face this new character. He was approximately 6'1" with flaming red hair, and a youthful face. His hair was cropped short and he was robed completely in black.

"And who might you be?"

"You were right of course," the figure said as he began pacing in a slow circle around the field. "It's not over. Gouki was nothing more than a pawn. A pawn to test the strength of the true weapon."

Ky's eyes narrowed.

"What're you talking about. What do you want with me?"

"Oh nothing I assure you. Not with you. With your new little girlfriend."

"Girlfriend?! I don't know what you're talki-"

His sentance was cut short when the red haired man's hand caught him around the throat and lifted him up.

"Oh I believe you do Ky. And I warn you now. Do not interfere. She is nothing to you anyways, am I not right?"

When did he move?! I couldn't even see it!

The man thrust Ky back with mild disdain, then turned away. Leaves swirled around him and in a flash, he vanished. Ky stared at the spot he had just been, rubbing his neck.

So they're after Tiffany...what should I do? He's right of course. It's none of my business. But...I can't just do nothing. Especially since the Majin might be involved.

It was then that Ky realized what he had missed before. The facility had been so clean, so organized. It was as if the entire facility had been systematically emptied, as opposed to the fleeing mess that should have followed Gouki's death. Ky stood there for a while, thinking. Finally, he turned around and began heading back to the school. He would do something. He would do it for himself and his revenge...and maybe a little for Tiffany too....

tiffany had arrived at her most hated place in the world, the majin facility, the front of the building seemed abandoned and junky, however the back was totally destroyed, there were big craters in the ground, and a big hole leading out to the forest......come to think about it even the forest was destroyed, because of tiffany's and gouki's battle that is

"I hate this place......i should destroy it for sure"

tiffany held out her hand, the wind grew furiously, just then..

*sigh*.....no...the voice told me to go here....if i destroy it now, all my answers may be destroyed as well...

good your here, if you want answers then come to the top of the building

"the top..."

tiffany then concentrated the wind around her, the wind slowly picked her up, this had been a new spell that tiffany learned, bu she was still getting used to it

"almost there....man this is harder than it looks..."

tiffany successfully made it to the top, however it looked more like the bottom then the top, almost all of the top was destroyed, there was barely anywhere to walk

"ok, im here, now can you help me...whoever you are.."

it was silent for a moment

"ummm hello.."

just then a figure appeared out of nowhere, he was dressed in black and he had flaming red hair, he was also very tall

"its nice to see you again kiyowa"

"you know me......um, could you please call me tiffany, kiyowa brings back painful memories.."

"hhmmmm, but of course, tiffany, thats such a lovely name,hhmm"

"uuhhh, thank you, but i think you said you could help me...help me with my past"

"yes, i can help you, i can help you with everything.."

tiffany then relaxed herself waiting for her past to be revealed

"you see, you are a very special person, your ancestors were prideful,joyful, and helped all of that in need, they were very skilled in martial arts, no one could beat them, they lived happy lives......but one night all changed that.....one of your ancestors was helping a dearful villager in need from fearful demons, he successfully fought off the demons, however he didnt know that the villager was actually a dark magician who wanted his skills, the magican attacked your ancestor, but it was no use the magician was to weak for him, but with one finally chant, the magician put a curse on your ancestor, a curse that could help him in battle....yet kill him..if it was used wrong.."

"what...what was the curse..." tiffany said out of curiosity

"the curse....was your wind and water power...."

"what........" tiffany froze, she couldnt believe that the curse was her powers

"what...are you sure.."

"my dear, let me finish the story, then you will know" the red head continued on

"there was one flaw in the magicians spell however, in order for them to unleash the spell, they had to be at the extremes of death, well one day, that ancestor was fighting a powerful demon organization, he fought bravely, and he was winning for the most part....however the tables sooned turned on him, almost at the brink of death, your ancestor unleashed his curse, causing the organization to die immediately, there were very few survivors that saw that traumatic event, the leader of the organization also saw it, and he wanted that power, however when they appraoched him...he was dead, the curse had consumed him, however the organization wouldnt give up, they wanted that power, they seeked every village hoping to get answers....and finally there questions were answered, they met an old sorceror who said that one of his apprentices put a curse on a powerful martial artist, the old man also said that the curse would last for many generations, passing it on to his children, then their children, and so on....the organization was happy about this, they went off and found your ancestors house, there they found a baby, a baby with the same power, the same curse, they took the baby, burned the house, and killed the wife...as time passed by each child of the curse had failed to survive the spell, each one died....including your mother...tiffany your the only one who has survived the curse...but the curse will take affect again if you dont get treatment, and im the person who could help you out.."

he gave out a smile, but deep down he had a evil smile on

"so...thats why...my powers...the pain...its all making sense....'

she then looked up at the the person

"if you can help me that would be helpful, thank you..thank you for everything.."

"yes, but we cant do it now, i dotn have everything ready, when i am ready i will come back for you, dotn worry"

he then disappeared in a blink of an eye

"thank you..."

tiffany then jumped off the building, she looked back...then headed off to school

Ky gritted his teeth in annoyance. The roof was empty. They were gone and he had missed his chance at the red haired man. Making his way carefully to the edge of the roof top, he saw Tiffany walking away. What had they been talking about? Ky intended to find out. Jumping off the roof top, he did a somersault in the air and landed on one foot, one knee, with one hand on the ground. Standing up, he shouted after the girl.

"Tiff-"

But the yell was cut short when something hard hit Ky in the back of his neck, falling him to the ground.

"I thought I told you not to intefere..."

Ky scoffed, slowly getting off the ground.

"Nobody tells me what to do."

"You will become strong one day Ky. You have the potential. Do not waste your life here. This is you're last warning. Leave Savior to us."

As quickly as he had appeared, the man disappeared again.

heh, yea right, like that'll ever happen

"I should be asking you the same question. I thought you wanted nothing more to do with this place."

Realizing that the red haired man may still be hiding nearby, Ky motioned for TIffany to follow and began heading back to the school.

"We need a more secure place to talk. Come with me."

((let's head to the church. That place needs some more posts anyways))

tiffany went back to the majin HQ, she was anxious to get the cure...well actually the main reason she came was to see the red head again...she had fallen for him a little

"here i am...maybe he's here.."

((I didnt want to make another topic of the Majin HQ, so im just reusing this one...except its a different HQ from the previous one... sweatdrop ))

Tiffany and Jun arrived at the HQ. The facility was huge and dark, however it was pretty well camoflauged for such a huge building.

"Wow...talk about big...."
"*ahem* if you will just follow me here.."

Jun proceeded on while Tiff followed.

"Ha...that little runt has no idea.."

Just then Jun turned around and did her DARKNESS DIAMOND attack on Tiff, but Tiff saw the attack and quickly blocked it. However the blades still hit her arm.....but there was no pain..it was as if a feather hit her instead.

"HEY WHAT WAS THAT FOR!!!!!"
"Just testing your ability..and it seems you have powered down a bit...and we cant allow that since you will become a majin again.."
"what!!!!...you never said anything abou..."
"We made a promise remember"

Just then, Joketsu broke through Tiff's mind.

"Tiffany, calm down, remember the mission.."
"ya but..she is really pissing me off!!"
"dont worry, we will figure out a way, just hold in there a little longer, k"
"*sigh* sure"

Jun and Tiff stared at each other for a short time..then they proceeded in the facility.

"hhhmmmm....its real.."
"Ha, lights out sis!!!"
"Wha....*ugh*......"

And with one fatal stroke, Jun knocked out Tiffany.....

((BUM BUM BUM!!! LOL))
