Welcome to Gaia! ::

(Sorry i posting so much in a row, but since i'm just sort of by myself i figure there's nothing anyone else can do right now)

*Back underground, i had found the watch room where the bad guys could watch their captive through the long tinted glass windows. Breaking through the glass(it's very hard glass, so it wasnt easy) i jumped down 20 ft into a dark dark room. Bringing forth flames from my sword, i cast the green glow all around the room. *

Mr. Alphonse? Are you there?

*Turning around in the cell, i saw an old man in a prison jumpsuit standing in the corner holding the back of a chair. He was defenseless and obviously trying to keep the distance between us in case i proved hostile, but his eyes were not afraid. he stared me down.*

Old man: Who are you?! Why have you come here?!

*I sighed, his tone was like Mochi's: mistrusting and grumpy.*

Dont worry sir, I'm not going to eat you.

That's reassuring. stare

No, really! I was sent by...*shoot, i never asked wind fox guy's name*...um, a fox guy, who controls tornadoes. And I know Yattaro! SB?

I'm here to bust you out.

*Hearing so many familiar names seemed to relax him a bit, but he still seemed weary.*

Alright then, get me out of here.

Yes sir!

*I grabbed the boss man I turned into a wolf and used my increased strength to jump up to the window. He was heavy, and the distance was far. I barely jumped high enough, but i caught the ledge with my paw. Turning back to human to get a better grip i climbed through the window and into the room. I sat on the floor panting a bit to get my breath back, and to wipe some blood off my arms. The broken glass was sharp.

the old man saw how much i was trying to save him, so he decided to trust me enough to thank me.*

Thank you girl. I was in there a long time. It was humiliating, i couldn't see them, but i knew they were up here watching me.

You're Yattaro's boss, right?

Yes, how is the little punk and his raccoon doing?

Last i saw of him he was caught in a huge fire at dead man's pass, but dont worry! i'm sure he's ok. i hope...the wind guy went looking for him!

*The old man seemed concerned, but only a second.*

So that's what the Fox is off doing, looking for fried raccoons instead of coming to rescue his boss! grumble grumble.

*i figure it was time to get going. I turn into a wolf and start following my own trail back to the surface.*

Come on gramps, this way.

*With everyone's help the OMGWTF are tamed and under control. The trainers are gathered into a group with all the OMGWTF surrounding them in a circle. Shade pulls one up by his shirt collar.*

Where is your leader?! The one looking for the box! Tell me!

*The trainer shook his head and refused to speak, but it wasnt bravery. it seemed the consequences for relieving anything was more scary than the idea of being ripped apart by an army of OMGWTFs. It didnt matter, anyways. The trainers were stopped, and barton was safe, for now.*

~Meanwhile, back where the real me was~

*I ran down a hall and slashed some animated with my sword. Looking back, the old man was leaning against the wall panting.*

You alright sir?

I'll be fine, my wounds are getting at me. Didnt think they had captured me without a fight, do ya?!

No, not at all! Of course, we can pause to rest a bit.

*More animated started coming and i fought them off with my sword. Alphonse saw i didnt handle a blade very smoothly.*

Do you normally use a katana, girl?

No, you noticed? sweatdrop My specialty is the gun, but regular bullets dont work on animated.

No, of course not. You need one of these. * He shows me his hand and on it is a ring.* Guns guns. It creates bullets right in your chamber so that you can fire as much as your energy would allow. AND since it is a ring, it kills animated.

Now that's a ring i'd like to have.

Well, you go find your own. What are you standing around fer? Eh? Lets get movin!

*We continue up to the hanger, where my shadow is. I didnt even need to use my nose, we sort of attracted like two parts of a whole.*

*Shade sat around waiting for me. I burst into the hanger.*

Dude! This base is huge underground! it's like a hidden skyscraper! Hey guys! Great! looks like you got all the OMGWTFs under control! Lets load them up on one of those air ship carriers and drop them off on some abandoned island or something!

*We get everyone on a ship, the OMGWTFs in a pen, and the trainers and guards and everyone else tied up. Our shadows returned to being our shadows since we didnt need them anymore.

I shook hands with Shade before she returned to the ground.*

It was fun, i'm gonna miss you.

What're you talking about, partner? I'll always be by your side.

*We grin and she returned to being a shadow. The big door to the outdoor runway opens, and i start to get on the ship.*

Hold on, who's that out there watching us? She's just standing on the runway, we cant fly or we'll run her over. hold on guys.

*Alphonse picked up the map as i watched the girl vanish into the night. I stuck out my lower lip and raised an eyebrow in a frown as i thought.

Hm, strange girl, but she knows Fox, Yattaro, and Old Al. I guess that means she's on our side. I walk over to the old man.*

Hey mister, let me see the map. Where are we headed?

*Al tosses map to me and ignores my question* All aboard!

*I look at the map, and at the red X marking the spot of our next destination.*

*I look at the trainer.* What? who? *just then the sandstorm hits the ship rocking it about. I grab the railing.* Raise the door now!

Agreed!!! *The door closes and we fly out of the base.*

Hi Shadow.

*The ship glides through the sky as we follow the map. Alphonse is steering.*

Everyone, this is Alphonse. He's Yattaro and the fox guy's boss. Mister, this is Dusk, or Shadow at the moment, and that's Jack.
