Welcome to Gaia! ::

Korangar, having gotten separated from Elena somewhere along the way, had wandered aimlessly along the rooves of the constructs of the Gold Saucer. It had taken him hours, but he eventually made his way up onto the top of the statue of Dio. From his perch high above the surrounding landscape, he stared down toward the desert that surrounded the park, allowing his flaming irises to scour the area for anything that could become a potential problem. Folding his arms across his chest, he allowed his massive cloak to billow about him in the harsh breeze that tore at anything that dared exist at such an altitude.


At that moment, Sephiroth stood on the outer edge of the desert prison, his glowing, mako eyes also searching the area for anything that could be a potential source of experience. He had far further to go before he attained his genetic possibility, and even the beasts that lay hidden in the depths of the northern crater could expand his current abilities beyond his current level. Lowering his left hand to rest on the pommel of masamune, which he currently had clipped to his side, he turned his gaze toward the Gold Saucer, planning to enter the battle arena.

Walking down a dark alleyway of Midgar, was a young man.He appeared to have short silver hair,and green snake light eyes.He glanced around slowly, smirking at the people walking past. Would they remmeber him? Only one way to find out. Loz was bored, and tierd from all the searching he and Yazoo had been doing lately.Just where was Kadaj.A low growl escaped the mans throat as he took another step fowar, to a young child whom seemed to be one of the orphens that were living on the streets.

"Want to play?" He motioned a hand to him. In responce, much like once more, the child ran away.Loz just laughed, and glanced back to the silver haired man he came with. "They seem to remember us..But yet...We can't even find our own!""

Loz narrowed his eyes toward Yazoo, A hand slowly going toward his weapon. "No! You always have to bring that up." He growled in annoyence,shakeing his head as he walked foward, and past the dead body of the poor child who stood no chance at all. "Its almost as if he's hideing from us...Would he do such a thing?! " No matter how he said his words, it almost sounded like a pouting. Which would explane how he was always teased about crying by those brothers of his.

Clearing away those thoughts, Loz walked his way toward the ShinRa building, which was being fixed up since the last battle.He might be there, right? If Rufus was there..

"Where do you think brother's hideing?"

"...." There was no use going on about it, was there. Yazoo would always find some way to make him look like he was crying. He hated it, but he would never strike at his brother no matter.His atention soon rested upon the ShinRa building.

"Yeah. There is bound to be someone inside to tell us.We'll have fun with them, Wont we Yazoo?" He turned to look at him for just a second, before heading toward the buildings entrance..


There were two soldiers outside standing beside the doorway, as if guarding it. Inside, A certin young blond turk was walking down the staircase. Rufus may not of been here, but she had to do a few check ups on the base. Make sure everything was safe, and no one was trying anything else. "...I cant beleive Reno joined there side.....why would he do such a stupid thing..." She mutterd quietly to herself.

The two gaurds let out a frightend gasp. They knew these two from somewhere! But..how..They were dead, as far as they knew. Everyone thought they were dead.The two men held up here weapons suddenly, pointed straight at the two other men. "..Th--this is a restricted area.You may not pass. ..G.go back ..to where you came!" One of the men spoke, oviously frightend to death as he stumbled upon his words.

"We..we cannot let you pass!"

The first gaurd fell to the ground, lifeless. This only caused the second man to panic. If he didn't let them through, he would be killed. And if he let them through, he would be a trator. But then, They knew Rufus wasn't inside, so maybe...maybe he could get away with it.

"...P..please dont kill me! You...can .go..through!" He hurryed to push the doors open, before turning and makeing a run for it.


"No one wants to play!" Loz pouted, raiseing his weapon. He didn't like when people left him like that! He expected play, and he was going to get it. Squeezing the trigger,the man that tryed to run for his life ended up loseing it in that instent. Sighing, the silver haired man turned to Yazoo as he would follow him inside once he was in.

Elena, meanwhile..Jumped in suprise as the doors were slammed open.She heard the first gunshot, and then soon after the second one.Was Kadaj back again?! No..He didn't use guns..Cautiously, she stepped out and eyed the doorway to see who was there, Weapon already out and ready to be fired if need be.

Spotting Sephiroth from his perch, Korangar narrowed his eyes, examining the long blade that the man below was carrying. Not knowing if he was indeed a threat, Korangar leapt from his post atop the Dio statue, plummeting to the ground below. As he dropped, he stiffened, turning his body so that he was falling head-first. As he passed below the branches that held the Gold Saucer, he spread his wings, allowing himself to catch air beneath them as he sped ever downward, before finally pulling up and darting across the desert, speeding toward the white-haired swordsman. When he was no further than thirty feet away from Sephiroth, he withdrew his wings, folding them against his back, and slammed onto the ground, standing perfectly erect and locking his eyes on the man.

Having seen the large being shoot toward him, Sephiroth had unclasped the masamune and taken on his normal stance, prepared to either attack or evade, depending on the thing that was coming to him. When the thing stopped and crashed onto the ground, staring at him, Sephiroth tentatively lowered the blade so that he was holding it only in one hand that he kept level with his waist, allowing the blade to sweep along the ground, just missing the sand along the edge of the desert. Keeping his mako eyes on the rather tall individual that had come, he frowned. While this was obviously not simply another pushover like every other being on this planet, he could not be certain that it would be worth his while to engage it in battle.

Watching the blade lower to the ground, Korangar nodded lightly, then focused his blazing irises on the glowing ones of the man before him. "Err..hi. You aren't a threat or anything, are you? Wouldn't want to have to destroy you or anything. Kinda gives me a bad feeling.."

Upon hearing this, Sephiroth arched an eyebrow, examining the ten-foot male that stood before him. "Are you so sure of your abilities? Would you be willing to prove your words in combat?" Only smirking for a brief instant, he raised his weapon so that it was once again level with his shoulders, the curve of the blade aimed toward the one he was challenging.

Seeing the weapon be raised once more, Korangar shook his head briefly, slightly shaking himself loose. "But..battle should only be reserved for killing. How could you acknowledge that I was right if you are killed?"

Pausing uncertainly, Sephiroth glanced away from the man for a brief instant, then looked to him once more. "Then make an exception. This will not be a battle to the death, if you like. Simply an excercise. A game, if you will."

"A game?" Korangar blinked, also taking a moment to glance around the massive desert behind him, then the wide expanse of field behind Sephiroth. "You mean, we will only be pretending to try to kill each other, but not actually do it, as a means of obtaining some sort of pleasure form the experience, and, by definition, be having 'fun'?"

Staring silently toward his newfound opponent, Sephiroth took a second to process what the person had just said, before nodding. "Yes."

Nodding slowly, closing his eyes to think about this for a few moments, Korangar slowly nodded before looking toward Sephiroth once again. "Alrighty. But I might accidentally harm you...but I shall refrain from killing you, if I can."

Noticing she was on the run. Yazoo took a light sigh and held his gun out. Pulling the trigger once more. The bullet went straight to her leg. Yazoo turned his head back to Loz.

"You know... Letting her run like that will only make you burst into tears knowing that you never got to play... Then I may have to pat you on the back and comfort you in the end..." He chuckled softly cocking his head to the left staring back at the young blonde.
