Welcome to Gaia! ::

Shepard haden't realized what happened or anytime to react effectively. But Gordon appeared infront of him and blocked the sweeping strike with his own sword in one hand. He then created a very effective shield of chaos energry around his hand other. He swang his arm out to smaxk the chain away. This transformation had doubled Gordon's speed and power.


" What lesson? All I see here is death and destruction. You teach no lesson. All you show is that you mindless puppets cursed to carry out whatever bogus order. Let the dead stay dead. Whoever controls you. whoever forces you to do this is a fool. " he said his eyes still glowing. Little red lightning bolts sPparked out every few seconds.


" If I destory you...will you only come back?' Gordon asked wanting to know.

Kilesekri nodded. "Yes... I will just come back... you have to bear with me for just nine more nights... I will vanish at dawn and reappear at sunset and dusk... just nine more nights after this... please... I have no will against the Multiverse... " She wielded the axe without using any energy, seemingly, slamming the 200+ pounds of iron towards him. She didn't fight with a soul or a purpose. Kile could speak with the voice of the space that contained all universes and the ultimate infinity... but she was really just the dead, revived. She wasn't a puppet, yet she let herself be controlled because otherwise, she would see the world die again.

"If the lesson is not learned, you will all die... if I can be so easily destroyed, you would all die without learning the lesson... "

Gordon quickly used his new found speed to poof behind KIle. " And what is this lesson? What are we supposed to learn from senseless destruction?" Gordon said standing still. Inside he was still strugggling to hold on to himself Who he was. He get more power but the price would be his sanity. He'd just be a killing machine like the.


"I don't see the point. JUst coming back when you know you lose. Its just like a bunch of lemmings jumping off a cliff. You only meet your doom...but I suppose even though you might be stronger faster and deadlier. I have one thing you will never have again. A soul." he said grimly. He wasen't even in a defence postion. He just stared at her with his guard seemlying dropped.

"Hmph... I've grown tired of this..." the sound was barely audible, but it was in fact there. A man's voice, whispered from within the trees and beyond the flames. But what little bit of an image could be seen of him was gone within a flash, or rather, a distortion of the air. A path of areas, patches of the ground began to distort, and with them the flames within these two meter wide areas dispersed. For several long moments following, the flames could not even pass INTO the areas of distorted air, as if it were so thick that not even the fire would penetrate it. "Zeka Ce-Kai Ko!" a man's deep and youthful voice roared through the forest. What appeared briefly as the ground being shattered in areas the size of footsteps quickly took the shame of a blurred form. Just as the form took more a definite shape, a claw like swipe of black flame came across from the left of the Pheonix and struck it's head. The pure force and energy of the flames of the Dark hit it, almost stunned it from the sheer surprise. Its talons would be relinquished from the sudden shot, which almost forced the bird to rise slightly from the ground in an attempt to retreat and gain some distance.

But it would be too late for such a thing, as the man who's form was still shaping continued his attack. He turned around counter-clockwise, stopping as his left side faced the pheonix. Both hands shot out to either side, extending as far as they could. This created a distorted bubble of sorts, the air around him dispersing like an explosion with enough force to send the pheonix into the air and distance itself severely from Scytheress and himself. He clearly knew that even a beast such as this followed certain rules of logic and boundaries that ultimate made it as weak as any creature was, at heart. And who better to know such knowledge, to show this power, then the particular man who's image came clear once it all was done. A pair of dark eyes glared down from a mess of black strands hanging over the familiar yet far darker face of Kujiro, of whom watched Scytheress for several moments, yet keeping ultimately silent as he did so.

Meanwhile, further off in the forest where the young and sweetly serene seeming Joy stood, a voice uttered its presence from behind her. "Well now, this certainly is one place I...did not expect you would be present." the softened whisper slithered toward Joy, and with it a slightly heated trickling of air moved along up the back of her neck, carrying the sweet sound to hear ear. If she were to turn, she would see a slightly familiar face as well, that of the young man she met months ago, ethereal gaze set upon her. "Isn't this a most...dangerous place for one so sweet as yourself, Joyous?" he asked her, tilting his head. Tallan...Truth, whichever she preferred to call him, it was the same man, dressed in the same white suit that he had worn when they first met. "But...then again...I am no-one to you, just another passerby that you met at some random moment. What right have I...to tell -you- what you can and cannot do?" he walked toward her side, smiling in a most bright way, halfway closing those deep blues. "Hmhm...I would...not even be surprised if you forgot who I was..." he said in a confident and pleasant manner, though he did hope he was remembered.

Joy lifted up her head from its whispering into Giddys ear. The wind blew some strands of green hair across her face,carresing it ever so softly. Like a whisper of warm wind. "The birdie is retreating... She then felt a presence appear behind her.

A famailir scent filled her keen nose,as a all knowing smile tucked at the corner of her bubble gum pink lips. Her eyes had a new sparkle added to them,so they burned even more then the fiery pheonix that was fleeing out of boredom or fright,but by judging from the urgency it was fear that forced it to fly away. Her ears quivered slightly when she felt a warm breath tickle them gently.

Giddy looked behind him,wondering if this was friend or foe. Joy slipped off the giant Dyber tooth,it was quite a fall but Joy landed gracefully and grace. The hem of her dark and frilly dress hovered and flowed slightly in the air but then setteled around Joys mid theigh. Joy shook her head softly,her long pigtails tossing about with the movement. "mhmm. Joys used to being told what to do Hee hee!!"

Turning around she gave her best smile,that smile that made people swoon and instantly attract to her. Like a moth to a flame,Joy radiated an aura that was hard not to approach,before someone knew it they were chatting it up with Joy. "Tally-chan its been a long time ne??" Reaching out Joys finger tips touched his smooth soft cheek. "The one who promsied to free Joy from a pain that burdened her..demo.."

Joy withdrew her hand,resting it on Giddys head as she rubbed him hard enough so he could feel it through his coarse fur. The wind blew hard making Joys dress hug her curved body as green tresses carresed her face. "If the pain that binds Joy to Ella was broken..Joy would know a pain like no other.." Smiling softly to herself Joy thought of the abusive,rageful,cruel,Ella. Who was the love of her life,she had done alot for her,killed alot of people for her entertainment and who do so as long as Ella wanted it.

Turning around Joy smiled warmly,giving the sense that you were sitting next to a warm flame,and yes all warm and fuzzy inside."So..if you could. Can Tally-chan not keep his promise??Joy wants to be by Ellas side as long as she possibly can.." Though ti was silly to even think for a momment that he could break something so deep and strong,but Joy had fun playing with the handsome mans mind.

Scytheress's vision was getting blurry from the weight of the bird on top of her but she could still feel the presence of a familiar energy. It was dark and just as intrusive as it had been the first time Scy had felt it, only now it stirred something inside her and if she could have moved Scy would have shivered. The Fox expected to feel the force of the man's attack and tensed, bracing for it, but instead the great weight on her was slapped aside and into the distance. The phoenix fluttered about trying to regain a semblance of balance before taking off into the sky to rejoin its brethren who were circling the reddened sky. Scytheress took a deep breath, her back popping a few times as the strain was released and she drew her hands up to plant her palms against the burning ground.

Instantly she jumped up, drawing her legs under her quickly to launch herself at her rescuer. It was ill-prepared but Scytheress still carried a deep dislike for the man even though Rem's soul was now her own and knew the importance of him. Her right fist was drawn back evenly and her left hand was a bit before her. She'd strike him down if she could, just in payment for their last enounter. She could still feel the images in her head...the grasping hands and the helplessness.... Those thoughts made her move quicker and strike with more force than she'd intended.

"Hmph..." the sound of Kujiro's disdain of the creatures, the one he had saved, and even those nearby whom he barely knew. He remembered the others who ere fighting, or at the very least, he remembered Gordon. But at the moment, his attention was on the fleeing phoenix, as well as the fact that as the sun had risen, they had made a quick escape. "Hmm...how expected." the two circle shapes of his dark irises glared up as they vanished, baring no particular feeling or sense toward them. Though disinterested, he was not nearly as disinterested as the man who came from behind, attempting to spout some form of communication, all of which was ignored. The others didn't matter, Scytheress didn't even really seem to matter, or so it would seem by the way he ignored her. When she struck at him, he barely flinched, and did not even take his eyes off of the sky above. Rather, his head shifted, only a slight amount of movement made as her punch seemed to move straight through the transparent after image of where he was, forcing her own body straight into an awaiting, open hand that gripped her throat tightly.

With a quick push, he would force the girl to the ground on her back, still clutching her neck without so much as looking at her. "Hmph..." he glared in Gordon's direction. "I find it difficult to imagine that all of you managed this long as it is." but he was not speaking to Gordon, but rather, Scytheress, who would feel a rising heat coming from his hand, one that would begin to seer her flesh slightly. "Though, it does say quite a great deal for the opponent. That any creature would make such high and mighty claims and yet take so long to deal with such invalid cretins is purely disgusting." his hand unclasped from Scytheress' neck and he stood. Trails of the heated air could be seen coming from his hand after releasing her, demonstrating just how hot the grip was. "You're fortunate though, that I was even nearby. It would seem that this...thing...and its entourage need to be made humble." his eyes spoke in volumes that not even his deep words could describe. The glare they had, especially as they narrowed toward the flames ahead. His fingers curled, light popping sounds emitting from his hand as it closed tightly.

And, meanwhile... "How...unexpected..." the fingers of Tallan's gloved, right hand wrapped over his chin and stroked it. He came to Joy's side with a curious expression on his face. "I had thought that you...my dear...did not want, or even need..." he stopped at her side, a bit of a distance from the creature that acted as a guard of sorts to her. His head swiftly turned toward her, a smile still upon his face. "...my help. Heh...the last thing I would think to come from you would be a request. But none the less..." he quirked his brow slightly toward Joy, removing his hand away from his chin and taking a single step closer to her. "...I could most certainly help you. Though... I may not understand quite what you are asking..." and then, another step. "...are you saying you wish of me to sever the pain caused by this...Ella person? Or..." and again, he takes a step closer, his voice growing softer, sweeter with the growing of his smile. "...are you telling me that you wish for me to break the pain that keeps you from being with her? Are you asking for more pain...or a different pain...or no pain at all? Forgive me..." he takes one step closer, stopping about two feet away from Joy, tilting his head as his eyes stop pleasantly onto her own. "...Joyous, if I do not completely understand your request..." ah, but most certainly, it could not be outside of his capabilities. Perhaps this Joyous did not know quite enough of this Truth...
