Welcome to Gaia! ::

As Arch started to rise with the woman, he found it much more difficult to do so, and pain would be back. As he rose his eyes caught the glint of the necklace as it was drawn out of the mud with it's owner. That sight of that familiar trinket, reminded Arch of what she had said before she took off for the second time. She had spoken his name, Cross. How could she have known that? Did she know him? The necklace was the same...so maybe.

As he stood It still was a bit difficult to think. How he held her in his arms was nothing short of a miracle. Be it adrenaline or something else. He did so none the less. His movement was a bit heavy but he still looked to have a steadiness to his face as he looked forward. Though it held the complexion of one pressing his limits once again. He just need to get away. He never trusted that eerie silence and it always meant that it was a good time to leave. So he just started walking.

Arch didn't answer the woman's question; it was as if he couldn't. Like that one word, that extra breath, would send him to the ground once more. frankly he couldn't even gather his thoughts for words every world lost as it was thought. He felt as if every step would be his last. But as he took it he some how kept moving.

Those word, Those Demonic words Ripped through Arch's thoughts. even in his state of mind those chosen word where heard as clear a bell. As he tried to wrap his mind around an answer he only managed to stop moving. He wanted to yell but nothing came, only heavy breaths. It was playing with him and enjoying it.

-you Killed her, no you didn't. Yes you did, don't lie. I couldn't...I had no choice, I-I tried…I was just-. his thoughts were as such as he tried to find an answer he wondered if he was still sane. –I’m just too..- His thoughts filled with confusion. How could a few words break someone so easily?
--Weak. Your WEAK..NO! I Didn't-I could-His eye’s closed tightly what was happening. Had he fallen off the cliff of reason. What was this poison? He wanted it all just to….

-Stop it .Stop. Stop.-

Memories of a life once lived ran through his mind, of a man that die with that woman. -Murderer. Killer. Killer....-
-...Don't listen, Angel...Arch...-
Opening his Crimson eyes he looked upward as if to find answers. Silence. the only answer being was a stray tear that ran down the broken man's face across that Mark-No his mark. It stung his blood stained skin. One word, one name, escaped his lips.

"Song..." that last word dropped him to his knees he still held her in his arms this scene was all to familiar. And a sicking sleep welcomed his heavy desperate eyes as that woman remained frozen in his arms.

"Rawgh" A Call could be heard off in the distance it belonged to Mugen liger as approached the forest, where his friend and partner seemed to be. It seemed to be vary distressed. He had a target and he was approaching fast. boosters ablaze.

"Whisper! What is wrong with you!" A young boy augured with the zoid as he sat helplessly to control the thing in the custom pit for two. It had locked on his target and was deturmed to get there. Cross never could control the stubborn Mugen. He seemed to only listen to Arch. With or with out him.

"Your over heating! I am NOT going to fix you again if you blow out!" the youth Threatened unsuccessfully as the Screen pop up in the pit warning the Crew of overexertion of the zoid.

" Gwa!" The Zoid final slowed as It waived, passing in and out of the tree patches. Not stoping for anything It was as if he knew the distress of the situation

Those thoughts and words were unrelenting on Arch's mind as it drifted into Darkness. the Sound of the Approaching zoid Wasn't even heard.

As the eyes Charged at Whisper it only encouraged him to speed up and raise one the two blades from it's back. As the blade flipped and was extended forward the target was no ware to be found. It wasn't even detected on his radar. Normally the Zoid wasn't so rash even with it's pilot in his seat. But something worried the Zoid. He would get this way if he even thought something was wrong with either of his two companions. Arch often worried about this that it could cause Whispers downfall. Cross was just more apt to speak of it, as his was more victimed with it.



The two red eyes caught the attention of the boy he first looked at them with a bit of surprisement. But then glanced down at the interments that would read if there even was another Zoid within Range. It showed nothing. this truth only reviled a puzzled look upon his face. There was evidence of remaining zoids on the scope. but nothing evident. But right in front off them...
"Whisper?-" the boy's voice was questioning as the Zoid speed up and the nearby controls and a familiar humming sound drifted through the pit at the blade was raised.
"Eh-" The boy pressed himself up agents the seat as a familiar sentence ran though his mind...
-Not Again...-

But before his eyes could register it the Eyes were gone and fallowed by a skin crawling laughter, that some how sounded familiar.

As the event passed a growl erupted from Whisper, he seemed to be confused about the event too. A moment later the Zoid slowed to a trot as Zoid tracked down his target.
Then to a walk as He approached. A satisfactory growl hummed in the air as he came in to the view of Arch and the woman.



"yeah you found him...Good Jo-Wait!" Cross pulled himself out of the seat as he got a better view on the interior, exterior screen. Something was wrong. Cross made no wasted time as he jumped out of the pit as soon as whisper allowed it.

Whisper satisfied with this accomplishment of finding Arch, let himself relax, he had fried the engine’s core and overexerted the boosters. He was fine with it and waited patently. He knew something was wrong with Arch and knew he had done what he could.
Cross Run over to the couple, As he approached he noticed Loyal wasn't alone but infact carried another. Though he still reminded collapsed and beaten making no sign of stirring anytime soon.

Crosses stomach dropped as he drew closer. What if he was...? No. Loyal was too strong, Right? He was all Cross had he wouldn't leave him...would he?
"Loyal!" Cross slid to a halt in front of the two, shoving Arch (Loyal, as he knew him) a bit as he rested his hands on his Shoulders.

"Oh Man! You can't do this! Not know...Get up...please...get up..." His voice was strong as he started to speak but it had became increasingly weak as he spoke. Looking up Cross finally took notice to the loud clamor of what sounded like another Zoid. With out thinking Cross darted back to Whisper and flung him self in to the pit hitting the com. switch "on" the way.
-please let it go through...-
Cross prayed as he spoke into the onboard receiver
.
"Please I need help!...Anyone!?" The boy's voice was a desperate one as he fought himself to stay 'strong'
