Welcome to Gaia! ::

Lonewolf's body stirred. His eyes fluttered, then he suddenly awoke with a start. His head turned from left to right frantically as he found himself in a house he had never been in before. "W..Where..? Ow..!" His eye hurt for some unexplained reason. As he rubbed at it, he noticed Lionheart's body slumped over as he was sleeping on a chair in front of the bed. He must've been curing him all night. Lonewolf's upper lip sneered at the thought. "Idiot...you should have just let me die..." His words were cold, though he secretly was relieved to still be alive. He tried to stand up, but a sharp pain in his entire torso thought otherwise. He sat back down on the bed again, looking at Lion who was fast asleep.

Annoyed by the low snoring coming from Lion, Lonewolf attempted to use telekinesis to send some small object on a nearby desk at him, but his telekinesis wasn't working. Puzzled at first by this, he then realized what the problem was..."Stephanie.." He said aloud, just remembering that she had unfused her spirit with his and went back to the astral plane. He shrugged and tried to summon a small energy blast to wake Lion up, however, not only did the spell hurt himself, but it dissipated completely. He grunted in pain. "That b***h took my powers too..." He recalled. Lonewolf was nothing more then a mere regular human being now. The thought of that disgusted him. He decided to wake Lion up the old fashion way:

"HEY! Wake up!!"

"I don't know about being much help..." Said Lonewolf, "I can no longer use any of my magic." He added, irritated that Arianna had stolen his powers. "...what happened after she stole my powers anyway..? All I can remember is that that woman sent her minions out to wreak havoc, then I passed out..."

Inferno regaled Lonewoolf with the story. How she released him and didn't bother taking his powers, and declared her plans for a tournment. How he carried Lonewolf's carcas down the mountain into a cave and waited, until Lionheart showed up and here we are.
"And that's basically the jest of it." Inferno said as he made his way to the kitchen and ate an onion.

Inferno cut across the room and stopped by Lonewolf, infront of the girl stepping out of the portal.
"Who the hell are you?! What are you doing here?"
Inferno was still on edge from the past couple days' events. He threw his arm out to summon his Cursed Sword, but nothing came.
s**t, I don't even have the energy to summon my own ******** sword.
The now swordless demon, decided to take the alternet route and bear his claws instead.

Inferno looked again
"Oh damn, I didn't recognize you."
Inferno retracted his claws, feeling slightly embarassed about not recognizing the girl that helped him earlier.
"Damn onion."

"It blocked out my sense of smell, and I identify best with- you what, its none of you business." Inferno decided to change the topic.
"So, besides the ovious of us two healing, and finding a group of new figher to help us a little, we need to come up with a story to draw the public away from the idea of demons returning and destroying their city. I suggest we just say they were aliens and leave it at that." Inferno knew the last thing they needed was the city to be out looking for demons, and ANYTHING, would be better then the truth.

"Two weeks? Two weeks!?! Dammit! That's how long I'll take me to regain all my powers! Fine, but we still need allies. Hey Lionheart, what about those brats you and Shadow were with? They had a decent amount of aura, if nothing else they could be a good destraction."
Inferno lightly pushed Larunia.
"Quit starin' at Lonewolf, it's impolite."
Inferno moved his way to his black cloak and put it on.
