Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Nots!" Nialla screamed as he was dragged off. She then watched in dismay as the others orbed away.

"oh no," she said through gritted teeth. She didn't have a transportation power.
With an annoyed glare, the vines she had entrapped some vampires in tightened.

She ran back up to the appartment, pulling out a crystal necklace that her family had given her before she moved out. After some frantic searching she found a map and, taking a deep breath, scryed for Nots location. Once she had it pinpointed she grabbed the map and ran back downstairs.

A little pink bicycle with streamers was propped up against the building.
"I guess I could just borrow this," she sighed and set offf towards the cave.

When she arrived, she quietly creeped into the cave to find Ethan it what appeared to be some sort of evil transformation.

"Ethan!" she gasped.

"Nots!" Dancer yelled as he fainted. She stepped forward as to run towards him but thought different of it. She tried to think of a vanquishing spell to vanquish the vampire queen. Suddenly, Dancer remebered something her teacher had told her when she was younger. "Remember, if you ever face a vampire queen, give her sunlight. She hates to burn, it ruins her paleness." he had said.

At once, Dancer flung her arm and a ray of light hit the queen. The queen screamed in agony as the light hit her.

VQ: You evil child she yelled as she all of a sudden burst into flames and was gone.

Dancer immediately ran over to Nots. "Nots?" she said.

As the queen was killed, one by one the vampires also burst into flames and were gone.

"We've defeated her." Dancer said out of relief. "She's gone."

Matt shimmered ou of the ropes. " Well, this isn't how I planned in but it doesnt matter." He pulled out the amulet and read the spell on the back to activate it. He turned to Dancer and her powers were pulled from her body. "I can feal them. Such power!" He shot fire at Dancer to nock her over. He turned to Nots and sucked his powers. Then as her turned to take Ethans powers he noticed a smirk on his face. "You wont be smiling for long" Matthew said. He tried to steal Ethans powers, but it didnt work.

(ooc: sry Ethan but u havnt been on much, so im gonna do a line for ya. sry again)

"I am a demon now, that wothless trinket wont work on me." Almost instantly Matt felt felt pain rushing through his body. He didnt know what Ethan did, but it hurt. He tried to shimmer, but Ethan kept him from doing it. He tried to orb, and it worked! He orbed back to his house to regain streangth.

Fuoko: "Where did you get that kind of power. No ordinary man could withstand my fire!"
Matt: "I am no ordinary man."
F: "Wait!... whats that around your neck? A magical amulet I don't doubt. Did you honestly think you could keep it from me?" She sent the amulet up in flames and the powers returned to their owners.
M: "NO! My powers!" He stood there petrified in fear.
F: "Now, to finish you off." She sent him in flames. "I will spare your life if you promise to become my aprentice."
Matt's whole body was flooded by unimaginable burning pain. As if all hell was burning him. Then he snapped. His eyes started to glow red, and the fire started to bend away from him until he was standing in a burning ring of fire. "I will NEVER join you!" He put his arms to the side sending the fire away. "You will feal the pain you have put so many through. AND WILL FEAL MORE PAIN IN YOUR DEATH THAT DAD DID WHEN YOU MURDERED HIM!!!" He pointed at his mother and wached as she burned with a flame the likes no other had ever seen. So powerful that the flame turned white.
" Its over" he said to himself.

"Um, why the hell did you steal my powers?" she said, sending him backwards.
"Was it becasue I helped you and that's payment." She helped him up.(ooc I don't know what I helped you with, just flow with it) Dancer looked at him and then followed his gaze to the floor. It was black as though someone or something was burned. "Matt, what happened?"

((ooc-sorry I'm sometimes falling behind, I've been so busy lately and Ontario has also had a heatwave so I know what you're saying Nots! I'll try to keep up as best I can, and if you need me to move somewhere go ahead - just try to keep me in character biggrin ))

Nialla had joined Dancer at Nots side. In stunned disbelief she watched as Matt sucked away the powers of her friends and then took off. Dancer soon orbed after and Nialla soon found herself left behind again.

Suddenly she remembered that Ethan was still there. She looked up and saw him staring at her with what seemed a conflicted look.

"Look, Ethan," she said as calmly as she could, "I need to take Nots somewhere to get better right now. But I am not abadoning you. I know you can come back."

With that she half dragged the semi-conscious Nots to his feet and brought him to the bicycle. She pulled a handful of seeds out of her pocket. Two were vines that tied Nots securely to the bicyle in a slumped over sitting position. The last few became small, medicinal flowers that she placed near his head so that he could breathe in their aroma.

With much difficulty she began to push Nots along.
"Oh now what do we do?" she asked her unresponsive friend, "Powers gone. Well except for mine. You know just because my powers aren't the most agressive doesn't mean they are useless! Oh this is silly, I'm complaining because something bad didn't happen to me"

After awhile Nialla, with Nots in tow, finally reached her own house near the College. She released the vines binding Nots and half led, half dragged him inside and to the counch.
A small cat jumped up onto Nots' chest

"Off Kiki," Nialla scolded and the cat jumped down and walked over her. "Nots needs rest. I hope he isn't to confused when he wakes up."
Nialla out a blanket over Nots and then went to the kitchen to fetch a glasss of water which she placed on a table by Nots. Finally she put up some wards around the house to protect them, all the while followed by her little familiar.

"Well Kiki, I don't think there is anything I can do right now. I hope Dancer is ok. I wonder if she is somewhere I could scry for?"

A few moments later Nialla could be found fast alseep over a map of the city, Kiki curled up nearby, her scrying unable to pick up Dancer and Matt.

((OOC sorrie i haven't been on... i promise to make it up))

Ethan heard Nialla's word about him not being alone. HE began to wonder if that were true... out of all of them Nialla was probably the one he found himself getting along with most but rage surfaced in him. How could Matt steal the others powers but other then that he was more pissed that through it all, he hadn't done anything because he was too busy feeling power grow in him. Power that wanted to consume him.

He let out a huge yell and everything around him seemed to stop. A rat that had been running stopped. A mosquito in the air had stopped. Ethan had stopped time... This was his demonic power. He remembered a Charmed one having this power only, her power only worked on evil and somehow Ethan knew if he was to use it on good it would work, if he used it on vampires it would work. His time freezing was different... It was evil. It made the fly frost up in ice and then with a small flick with his mind, it shattered. Him freezing it in time wasn't just tthe effects of the power. If it stayed that way for long it would freeze into ice. He quickly unfroze the rat not wanting to harm it as and in doing so the rat transformed into a demon.

"Your highness, your father would like to speak to you."
"My father can wait. I'm busy practicing." EThan shouted.
"Your powers are impressive. You can freeze objects in both physical and mental state. Mentally when you froze me, i didn't know I was stuck but then when I began to change to ice, i could think again and realized your power. Thankyou for sparing my life though."
"Your welcome. Take me to my father."

Ethan flamed out after the rat demon shimmered away.

"Welcome my son." The source said.
"Hi." Ethan said with a yawn.
"I see you have discovered the power that lives inside our family."
"Yeh, its alright. I actually like that demons power there." and in an instant a Ethan had orbed the heart out of the rat demon and sent froze it physically in the air. He sent it flying quickly with his mind and as the heart shattered into pieces the demon lit up into flames.
"Impressive." Ethan's father said to him.
"You haven't seen anything yet father."
"Now that you take your place beside me, you should take the name i gave you and not your mortal father's pitiful name."
"Sure pops." Ethan said with another yawn.
"You will now and forever be known as Pandemonium."
"Cool." EThan said as he crouched down on a rock and took a nap, his shield automatically coming over himso no one would disturb him.

"Seer." The source called.
"Yes your majesty."
"My son's powers... they preceed mine."
"Yes your highness, I see that."
"Well how is that? I am pure blood and he doesn't have the power of energy balls. Just a defensive power."
"All of his powers are mostly defensive meaning he will be hard to destroy."
"Why would I destroy my son?" The source asked.
"He will kill you and me!"

Pandemonium sent a frozen spike through the seers heart as she erupted into flames.
"No one questions my father." Pandemonium said.
The source smiled.
"Very good son."
"I guess she didn't see everything coming after all." Pandemonium began to laugh.
"I guess not. SEER!" the source called in another seer and she stood beside him smiling knowing what a fool her sisters were. they had all already died.

Nialla knelt next to the flustered Nots and laid a hand gently on his shoulder since his force field seemed to be down.

"Nots, we have to stay calm for now and think of something to do," She looked briefly out the window at the early mornig daylight. It seemed so peaceful and yet she knew there was danger out there somewhere.
"You are at my house. And we should find Matt. I don't know why he did that, but we can't let it happen again. I think Dancer went after them but I couldn't find them last night. We also have to help Ethan. Something bad is happening to him. He's changing so quickly. I don't know if we'll be able to find him though. You can't scry for people in the underworld or at least I don't know how to. And with his new powers...we might have to wait for him to come to us. Or try a summoning spell on either of them, though we'd need a plan on what to do with them next."

Kiki wandered over to the two young witches and gave them a concerned look. Nialla absentmindedly scratched her ears and looked at Nots.

"What do you think we should do? Do you think any of them will show up at the school today?"
