Welcome to Gaia! ::

At that moment, the hooded boy takes his fighting ability to another level. He was unfazed by the assault as he flips onto a tree and launches him self at high speed toward the swordsman. He flips into a somersault, picking up power and momentum with his spirit energy and slams back heel into his chest hard enough to crush him into the ground. The earth shook like an explosion and left a deep man-sized crater. The entire time he look like a back streak with such speed and power. The birds scatter away and flock toward Tryton's hide out as a warning sign.

Shaw let out a painful gasp as his skin began to rip. "Dammit! How is she hurting me so easily!?" He yelled as his skin kept opening up. He then started to spin in the opposite direction as fast as he could. The wind started to cancel out each other and the tornado disappeared. He landed on the ground panting with blood all over his red body. He coughed allowing him to fall to the ground. "Every time I make a move she does something that backfires against me." He said pulling out another small orb. "It seems like this is the only thing that can help me right now." He said placing it in his mouth about to bite down on it.

The boy was surprised to see him recover so quickly and attack with full speed. As he hit the ground he coughed. "Dammit!" He yelled and then finally he got back up. "It seems like the small attacks cant beat you...." He said looking at the boy. "Sad as it seems I'm just gonna have to take you down with more energy and power." He said as his hand completely dissolved into red minus signs. "My name is Minus.... If you've heard of someone whose name is kinda like mines... Hes my older brother... Im not 15. Im 21. Close to his age but i look older than him." He finally said then looked back up at the hooded boy. The minus signs went to separate areas where the other stealth team was at. The Minus signs glowed and started to suck life from the trees and other plants in the area. Minus took a deep breath and then finally had reopened his eyes. His pupils were red minus signs. He ran at the boy and punched him with his hand that wasnt dissolved. He then watched as minus signs flew from the hooded boys body into Minus'. "Yes I can still drain energy from peoepl..." He said happily.

Rei's head was hanging down looking defeated.she couldent move her body now.but when he asked if she gave up she raised her head and her eyes me his."I will never give up.I will never let you win." she said in a strong voice.

Orochi suddenly felt himself growing increasingly tired. As if the energy was being sucked out of him. The snakes rose back above ground and reformed into Orochi. He looked around him and saw the minus signs everywhere. "whatever these are they aren't natural and I bet they're behind this" knowing that they were sucking his energy he knew just swatting them away wouldn't work. Then he got a great idea. He hissed something and Grenga rose out of his robe and lunged at the minus's one by one swallowing them whole. After swallowing them the minus's were sent to Grenga's second stomach and thus warped out of this dimension were they could no longer effect anyone. After finishing them all Grenga looked incredibly tired as the minus's had still sapped her energy the whole time they were in her mouth and throat. She slithered back into Orochi's robe and fell asleep. Orochi to felt very tired from being drained but pressed on anyways. He came upon another grove and to his surprise the sword was there. "guys, I found it, the snakes will lead you there" the snakes on the stealth team's shoulders whispered. Orochi fell back against a tree almost passing out right there but he needed to stay awake to guide the others. The snake's, except for the one on the hooded boy since he was still in battle. All slithered off of their corresponding member's bodies and began making their way towards the clearing hoping that the others would follow them.

"You know, your starting to get annoying", said the hooded boy as he seems unaffected from Minus's attack. He turns his head and reveals a pair of glowing crimson eyes in his hood. There was something obviously fake about the hooded boy's spirit energy. Beneath it, there was something else. Something dark and terrifying. A form of negativity channeling only from the hooded boy's body and doesn't seem to be affected from the energy drain. It almost seem like the spirit energy he was draining is only a blanket to cover the boy's true nature. What ever he is, hes now human. Suddenly after staring for about a minute with his deathly crimson eye glowing through his hood, he suddenly appears in front of Minus and impales his stomach with his bare hand as if he had claws. At that moment, the hooded boy takes back his blanket of spirit energy. "Minus right? Id love to stay and chat, but I have more important thing to do right now" He pulls back his hand which appeared to be a bloody pair of claws. They slowly retract and the boy's crimson glow fades away, leaving a hole in Minus's gut. "Nothing personal. I just dont like it when people nag a lot", he says in a hateful dark tone.

The vibrations knocked Rei over and onto the ground."Ouch...hey that really hurt cross...wait...you don't look like cross..."she said noticing his eyes.
