Welcome to Gaia! ::

Kira sent one of the enemy up into the air with a strng uppercut before she smirked, and sent a spinning kick to the side of his body, smashing him into the next in her way. She had always been a naturally strong woman, and she'd not since lost her touch.

She reached behind her, and pulled out a staff from the large holster on her back, spinning it above her head before she held it out in front of her confidently.

"Anyone else want a go?" She asked sarcastically before she went back with her swift movements, taking them out one by one quickly and easily. Her hits were swift and painful as she beat them with her cross staff. Suddenly, she noticed that they were short a few. She looked around, apparently the only one ignorent of current events. She looked around for another moment in attempt to find one of her comrads.

Nahnee went into battle nervously. Luckily, her weapons were for long range use. She'd send the circular blades out, and they'd return back to her hands like boomerangs. She looked to her side, already somewhat out of breath from avoiding so many head on attacks toward her, and spotted Kira looking around. She too was unaware of the current situation.

Lenora shivered but regained control over her body. She shook it off. She was a demon of one of the old clans… and yet here she was being easily suppressed by this man. She just didn’t get it. Shaking her head she glanced back to her home. She could feel Riko’s power lashing out a little before becoming suppressed back in the girl’s body. With a sigh Lenora shook her head. That girl was getting to much power for her little body to control. If Rikyo didn’t learn to control it, then it would mean doom for them all. Lenora jumped onto the balcony and perched there, her legs dangling over the side as she glared out at the world.

Yune moved to her step son’s side and glanced at Hokyo “do you need any help dear?” she asked Amico. She was trying her best to do something but she still wasn’t that good of a healer, not in less she went to the extent of using her fire or earth to heal a wound, but that amount of power would drain her for a while and take to much out of her, not to mention she hadn’t used anything like that in many many years. Sighing a little she looked at the battle that they were losing. “I hate fighting” she whispered “but I can never hate you” she spoke to Rikyo but only the wind carried her words to the unknown depths.

The man's eyes twitched as the balances of the world shifted around wildly. He knew naught which way the world would sway, but he knew evetually one of these balances would give way to another. He had to get up, he had to keep searching, even the small amount of rest had given enough stamina to use at least one spell. He fought against his tiredness, using the wall to regain balance. He felt a wave of one of the balances, and began to follow it.
The wave led him to a rather large building, he small sounds coming from within it. This is the place, the tides of balance are being shifted from within. He fought back more pain as he opened the door. He headed in the building, the sounds of battle getting slightly lounder with each step. With each step he put forth, the pain worsened. I must hurry

Kira turned toward Ghost as she was running off with the younger woman following very close behind. She stopped as she spotted him, and held her hand out, guesturing for him to follow using both her hand, and tilting her head in the direction she'd been going.

"We're movin' out. Follow me... somethin' bad musta happened for us to be leaving so quickly..." She said as she looked out at the area they were going to be heading toward.

Nahnee stopped just behind Kira, and nodded her head, a hesitantly reassuring smile on her face.

"We shouldn't waste time... Kira-san doesn't have a good feeling about all of this," She noted. "Come with us. We don't want to get seperated again..."

Nahnee looked over at him as the two of them followed behind Kira.

"Well... I'm not entirely sure, but from what Kira-san's reaction to it was... I believe it may have something to do with one of her friends. Something very bad mus have happened. She's not quite sure what happened herself."

Rikyo stared down at her black sword. She was hidden away in her darkened chambers. Singo's and Hokuri's blood was on this blade. She could feel it's power gowning. She could feel it entering the depths of her mind and grasping onto it. Btu she forced the power back. She would not be taken in by the swords power. Her mother was next. She had to kill her mother and then Hokyo. Once they were out of the way there would be no chance at this blade taking over her mind. But what about Amico? She surely couldn't kill him. He was her only link to humanity... "all the more reason to end his life... It is mercy Amico... mercy" She stared to her deep shaded windows then nodded .It was time to make her move. She ran her fingers over her chin as her mind began to work. She'd felt Hokyo. His power was almost out of control because Hokuri was nearly dead. She now needed to get to Yunari so that he could become even more enraged. She needed him to become so infuriated that he would destroy this world with the over whelming power that he had inside his body. Now was the time to act. While Hokuri was down and her father would go to his side. If she struck now their power would be diminished. of course the whole fighting together thing would get in her way but a few hu8ndred worthless soldiers would take care of that. Slowly the blond Cumen child warped herself outside to the front of her home and stepped outside of the barrier that encased her body. She was done hiding.

Rikyo placed her black blade of her hand and ran the sharp edge over the palm of her hand. Blood began to drip down her hand and the sword devoured it greedily. The black wings shot from her back with a painful burst of negative energy. They were larger this time, reaching towards the sky and spreading far out. She smirked a little her blond hair lifting above her head as the power she build up created some sort of anti gravitational pull around her body. Rikyo ran her hand all the way down the blade and then stabbed it on the tip of the sword. The blood hit the floor and soaked the blade. Her skin grew a wicked pale and her lips a deep red. Her blond hair grew down to her feet, a deep golden like her mothers. The band that held it in place snapped and she was surrounded by the massive sea of blond. She lifted the pulsing red sword towards the sky and smirked “Oh great gods of destruction, forces of greater power, creations of the most vile creatures. Be not afraid of the light anymore. My leader says it’s time to show the world that we are in control!” she laughed and then plunged the blood covered blade into the ground. “Lord of shadows, master of deception, now is the time. I invoke thee! And give thy soul and power a host. Grant me the power to end this pitiful existence! And remove from me the feelings of regret and… the only love I have towards Amico. Disperse it!”

The ground began to shake and the blood from the sword seeped into the ground causing it to crack open all around her. It formed a circle first then a symbol in the middle. The symbol was two horizontal lines with a hook that circled around her body. Above that was another line. Any who knew Yunari back in her fighting days knew this symbol for it had been tattooed into both her arms and on her ankles. It was a seal. One that was suppose to protect her from the dark souls that fallowed her family and would drink of her soul. It protected her from the black blade. But as life had gone by she removed these seals which was basically the birth of her darker sides, who were later taken care of.

The Malice that built up from everyone who had been not only killed by her family but the souls from those who had been exterminated by the rest of the gang too were returning. Rikyo twisted her sword into the ground forming an X shape and breaking the seal. The ground erupted and many things began to shoot into the sky. Her father was a soul keeper. She had heard these things from her mother and well she eavesdropped a lot. “What happens when I force myself to be like that man? Only these souls are many years old and tainted with malice. Shiva I take your darkness and I destroy the world as you please.” The dark images of laughing sculls and shadows of malice fell back from the sky and entered her body. The deep purple and black shades ran throughout her body and she couldn’t’ help but laugh. Her wings lost their feathers, they melted off and when there was nothing but bones, the feathers were replaced with leather and sharp horn like points formed on the tips of her wings. Her hair Braided itself and fell between her wings folding neatly into it’s shape. Her skin paled once more and her lips grew even darker. Her eyes shifted gold and then red settling on a blood and rust color. Her nails extended into claws and her power levels grew.

With a cracking of her neck and her fingers she picked up her sword “come on it’s time to play with my toys.” she said to the wind her voice deeper and no longer harboring the feelings for these people lower than her. “I’ll show you…. I’ll show you all!” She creamed and then let out a cooked laugh that filled the air sounding like bells but like snapping bones as well. “Bring it”

A wicked smile placed itself upon Rikyo’s lips. She didn’t even look to Diaco “They have no choice with my brother wounded” she stated “and of course my father in his weakened state. I care not who you kill…. But my mother is mine” Rikyo fully intended on returning to her list of killing. She was suppose to go after Yune first but Hokuri had stepped in and interfered. Of course this put them at a disadvantage in the end but she could deal with that. Rikyo glanced down at her darkened blade then lifted it to the sky “let no one stand against us” she laughed her crooked laugh before taking to the skies. Her army was attacking again and this was good. She flew above the battle ground watching then like a hawk she dove to the ground her body making impact with a loud crashing sound. When the dust around her cleared she was standing her wings spread out on either side of her body. She almost felt as if horns should grow from her head but luckly they did not. Blood was spilt around her and her eyes traveled quickly not bothering with any who were not in her direct path. And she spotted them.

Some man stood between her and her family. She could make out Amico holding onto her father and then her mother standing aside wearily looking for something to do. Rikyo lifted her sword and tapped it to her shoulder a few times. She cracked her neck and approached the sad looking group. Fingers cracking as she got a better grip onto her sword she looked right at Amico. Before where it hurt to see him on their side it now burned with anger. If he chose to align himself with those who cared not for her then so be it. She lifted her sword to the sky and the clouds began to shove together. Then they light up with a red glow. Each time this red glow made itself seen a thunderous boom fallowed it. She tilted her head to the side with mock worry then called forth her crimson lightning. The red bolt of electricity droped to the ground separating into three different bolts and smashing into the ground. The first two knocked back regular men, probably hers but Diaco had said ‘do with them what you will’. The last she aimed towards the fighting man in her way.

But Yune saw this. She didn’t know how much concentration Nikko had or how well he could pay attention to the things around him while in combat… but she wasn’t willing to take the risk. She placed herself a bit from Nikko and used her own magic to deflect the path of the bolt. It was strange, both people were using lighting based attacks only Rikyo’s was different. As Yune looked down at her hands she realized how different. Flames licked around her arms like shackles and she bit down on her lip. These were laced with two elements. She flared up her energy and directed it to her wrist getting rid of the bonds that held her. Slowly She looked at Amico “Dear one take Hokyo to his son, then you take care of them. Even Nikko, who is probably one of the strongest of us, can not hold them off forever.” She smiled a little, though it was sad. She knew what she ahd to do… but she wasn’t sure she could survive “I love you Amico, just like my own son” then she laughed and gave a smile, one that she’d seen Hokyo give her so many times when he went off to fight, the don’t worry I’m invincible smile. Then she turned her back to her family. She drew her sowed, which was quite shiny due to the fight with Hokuri. She concentrated her power into the tip of the metal and then fired it at Rikyo to issue her challenge.
