Welcome to Gaia! ::

(FINALLY! Yes, I know, this was supposed to be up FOREVA ago. It's my fault for not having the correct inspiration and all the procrastination and all that. >.< Anyways here's part 1! I might go back later and make one big post of all the chars, but we'll see what happens. For now, I give you the OFFICIAL START OF THE WHAT-IF AU RP!!!
Btw, there's one more post after this and then you all can start posting. ^^ So after the next one, it's all free to go!)

Arcel: *Yawns, sitting in front of a large group of moniters, headphones on as well, just watching the screens, he glances at his watch*... You sure the tip was good Tech, this is the third day we have been watching this place and nothings happened so far.

Tech: *reading a magazine, sitting over to the side* I got the tip from a reliable source, we just have to keep our eyes out.

Brea: -sitting in her corner making designs and stuff with fancy little things she found laying around-

Arcel: *sighs, and gets up, taking the head phones off* Hey Brea, take over for a minute, I need to get something to drink.

Brea: -highly engrossed in her activity doesn't hear all the way, not paying attention- Hmm?

Arcel:.... *glares slightly at her* .... Brea!

Brea: Hmm? -putting finishing touch on her tower-

Arcel: I need you to take over watch for me for a minute.

Brea: -still not paying attention waves hand focused on tower- Yeah, yeah, sure. I already did it.

Arcel:.... *grumbles annoyed*

Tech: *sets down magazine and walks over to Brea*... Brea, can you please try and pay attention, we are in the middle of a mission you know.

Brea: -blinks- Hmm?

Tech: *places a hand on her shoulder* Your not paying attention again.

Brea: Sorry?

Tech: Good, now go over there and relieve Arcel.

Brea: -blinks in confusion- Relieve him? ....that's pretty....personal.

Arcel: *face palms*

Tech: *blinks, then sighs* Not what I meant Brea, I meant take over watch for him for a moment.

Brea: But I'm like an intern. Doesn't that go against some guideline somewhere about putting that responsibility in my hands?

Tech: Usualy, that would be the case, but with something like this, its alright, if you see anybody on the moniters, just tell us and we will handle the rest, and we mean anybody, alright?

Brea: Right. But you also know that if soemthing goes terribly wrong that you can't blame me because it was your decision, right? I read the manual.

Tech: *sighs* Yes, we do realize that.

Brea: -perks up- Okay then, just checking.

Arcel: Good. *sets the headphones down and steps back to allow Brea to get into position*

Tech: It will only be for a few moments anyway.

Brea: Just remember that.

Arcel/Tech: We will.

Brea: Okay then! -grabs the headphones humming to herself-

Arcel: *sighs, grabs a walkie-talkie befor leaving the room, heading upstairs towards the vending machine*

Tech: *smiles, returning to his magazine, but actually glancing up to keep an eye on her as well*

Brea: -starts painting her nails-

Tech: Brea, Watch the moniters.

Brea: I am. -occasionally looks up at them-

Tech:.... *sighs*

Brea: -starts painting toenails occasionally looking up-

Tech: Brea, stop messing around and pay attention.

Brea: -sighs in boredom- I am. Do you want me to fall asleep? This is major boring.

Tech: *sighs* I know, stake outs usualy is... but if no one shows up tonight, a replacement team will be here in the morning.

Brea: Then if nothing's happening, why can't we go now?

Tech: Becuase, its our mission... and if we leave now, we could get in alot of trouble.

Brea: -sighs- But it's boring. I could just take a nap right now.

Arcel: *appears on one of the camera's, by the snack machines*

Brea: -sighs- I thought this was supposed to be fun....

Tech:... *glances up* Where did you get that idea from?

Brea: Because there has to be a law somewhere about being this boring.

Arcel: *grabs the walkie talkie, his voice coming out of the one of the ones over by Brea* Hey, you guys want anything from the Snack Machines?

Tech: *grabbing his* Nothing for me, how about you Brea?

Brea: -slightly pouting- No.

Tech: *over the walkie Talkie* Nothing for Brea.

Arcel: Got it. *begins to get a drink*

-loud noise heard from somewhere-

Tech: *jumps slightly, quickly getting up and moving behind Brea* Where did that come from?

Brea: Hmm? What?

Arcel: *seen setting the drink down and a cutlass suddenly forming in his hand, he talks over the walkie-talkie* What was that?

Tech: *sighs* The loud noise! Where did it come from. *begins looking at the cameras*

Brea: He broke something?

Tech: *shakes head* No Brea, he didn't.... * one of the camera's go out* ... Crap.

Brea: ...he broke that too.

Tech: Brea, stay here, lock the door behind me, alright? *stands up straight and presses a button on his wrist band, high-tech armor suddenly appearing on him*

Brea: But......I don't like being alone. -sighs-

Tech: I know, and I'm sorry about it, but something is going down and I have a job to do, and without powers or training, you would be a liablity if anything happened.

Arcel: *looking around* I am going to go check it out. *clips Walkie-Talkie to belt*

Tech: *nods, a second camera goes off* Keep an eye on the moniters, and if more camera's go out, tell us please.

Brea: Right...

Tech: *grabs his walkie-talkie and leaves*

Brea: -turns back with a sigh-

Arcel: *slowly moving around the darkened museum, glancing around, staying quiet; stops in the main chamber, glancing around still, moves to a location in the shadows where he could not be seen by anyone who enters the room*


Destiny: -glances at whoever's with her- You idiots just can't keep quiet can you? I should have done this on my own...

Random Thug:.. Sorry... *

Arcel: *around the corner, waiting for them to approach*

Destiny: Well get it right for once and keep it down! Got it?

Random Thug: *while your back is turn* Yes Ma- *voice becomes muffled and stops*

Destiny: -dismisses it with a wave of hand- Finally. Idiots. Now, there's got to be something in here that's got some value at least.

Arcel: *points a sword at her back* Nothing that your going to get your hands on Miss...

Destiny: -rolls eyes- Oh, please.

Arcel: Don't move... Miss D... We've been tracking you a long time...

Destiny: -raises eyebrows- Excuse me?

Arcel: I am agent Sorm of the Balance Keepers... and you are on our most wanted list for your super natural crime spree.

Destiny: -scoffs- Haven't I heard that before.

Arcel: *smiles* Even if you have, this time you are going down Miss D... *pushs blade a bit harder agenst her back* Now come quietly, I would rather not have to hurt you.

Destiny: -rolls eyes- You've GOT to be kidding me....

Arcel: *stays behind her, ready for any sudden actions* Keep your hands where I can see them and slowly make your way towards the front exit. *pressing a button on remote in his pocket, signaling for back up to head on over*

Destiny: -yawns- Oh, please. -suddenly ducks down, whirling around to knock his legs out from under him then kick him off, brushing herself off- You are all the same, you know? Just as pathetic as all the rest.

Arcel: *nearly seemlessly recovers, blade not pointing at her neck as soon as she finishs* Wrong answer. *eyes glowing*

Destiny: -rolls eyes- Dream on. -maneuvers away easily again ending up on top of the stairwell above him- And what's with that stupid name anyways? Who came up with it, a 2 year old? Heh, let the villians pick their own fame names, why don't you?

Arcel: *eyes glow again, theres a flash and I am across from her again* I don't know who names you, but I would be happy to put down something else for you once your incased in crystal.

Destiny: -laughs- You've got to be kidding me. This is what they send in?

Arcel: *smiles* This is what they send. *eyes glow again, activating another Rune, he blurs foward and strikes just once, leaving a gash down her arm, now a few feet behind her*

Destiny: What? A few magic tricks and stones? Hardly anything to be proud of. At least mine is original and doesn't come from another source. -throws a wave of ice causing him to fall on the floor, slipping from it-

Arcel: *glares at her, uses a rune of heat to melt the ice and stand* Magic tricks huh... Lets try this then. *quickly moves foward to her again, with the aid of the Runes, puts a finger on her forhead* Rune of Isolation. *freezes her in place, temporarily due to her unusual nature*

Destiny: -glares-

Arcel: *backs away from her, smiling* What was that about a few magic tricks? *pulls out comunicator and clips it to ear* Miss D has been apprehended, need a pick up team imeadiatly. *the Rune starts to wain from your conflicting energies*

-suddenly the doors burst open and 2 unnaturally huge rottweilers jump on him pinning him to the ground as she's freed from it, turning to glare-


Arcel: Whoa! *eyes flash, and teleports out from underthem to the other side of the hall, Destiny between him and the dogs* What the... *eyes widen*... how did you break free?

Destiny: -smirks- You should really learn more about what you're dealing with, kid, before you try to get involved.

Arcel:... *smiles* I guess I have to step it up a bit... *armor suddenly forms all over my body, looking like a knight* Miss D... or whatever your name is... your under arrest... and you will come with me... dead or alive...

(And das ist part 1! Part 2 hopefully coming soon.....)

(Hey, ya'll feel free to go ahead on post. Nothing is right or wrong, you control your own char's current timeline!)

-The next day- *Tech, Arcel, and Brea are currently meeting with there commanding officer, just to figure everything out*

Scientist person: We were able to collect some blood from the intruders. We're running it now to see if anything comes up.

Tech: *shakes head* Alright, I hope we get a better lead this time.

Commander: So... your telling me that this... Cian Delano charicter... was in that tomb... broke free when the suspects blood landed on it... and somehow knew who you all were?

Arcel: Thats right sir.

Tactical Advisor: From the footage we captured, it appears the intruders were just as surprised by him. Leaving us to believe that whatever happened was unintentional

Tech: I see... hmm... Any news on when Spirit will be here so he can give his take?

Commander: He has already been informed, he should be here in a few days to check for magical residue... *Sighs, shaking head, just waiting for the blood results now-

Tech: Good... He probably could tell us what the heck that this Cian Fellow did to me and Arcel... that was some powerful energy he used... tore right through my shields and armor...

Arcel: He even stopped the Rune Blade mid swing... with one hand...

Tactical Advisor: Also we traced down the name "Vlad" that was captured during the exchange. We found a man named Vlad Masters, but couldn't find anything incriminating. In fact couldn't find anything out of the ordinary, even after extensive searches. We're still searching for other matches at this time though.

Agent: Sir, we just recieved word that part of the blood test came through. All we know is that there aren't any matches. It might not even be human.

-no one notices Destiny, yet again in a clever disguise, as a maid outside in the hall, having been sent to track them down-

Tech: *sighs and shakes head* Great... so still no leads... except now we know we are dealing with something we haven't delt with before... and thats saying something...

Tactical Advisor: We're still researching and looking up as much as we can about this "Cian Delano". Perhaps there's something in the archives that can help.

Commander: Perhaps... we do have people working on it already...

Arcel:... I can't help thinking the name sounds familier for some reason though... *sighs*

Random Agent: Uhh... sir... there is some nut on the news talking about the events that happened.

Arcel:... *sighs* Great.

Dan: -on the news- And everyone should beware that this is just the beginning. JUST THE BEGINNING! There is more to come. MORE!

Reporter: And, uh, what exactly are you referring to?

Dan: And it's only going to get worse. Unless YOU come and stop!

Reporter: Um, me, sir?

Dan: No, not you! -looks back at the camera- You, you! Yeah, you! You all know exactly who I'm talking to. You! All of you!

Reporter: -sweat-dropping- Eh, right. And what exactly does this have to do with the events of last night?

Arcel: *watching, shakes head* Crazy begger... great...

Reporter: -looks at the camera guy- Okay, why the heck are we interviewing this guy?

Cameraman: He's the only one who was willing to talk about it.

Reporter: Wonderful....

Tactical Advisor: Needlless to say. That's all we have for now.

Arcel: *sighs* Alright... alright... I guess we will see you at tomorrows Briefing... I'm going back to my room. *opens the door into the hall, pauses, seeing a maid running off*... strange...

(LATER THAT NIGHT)

Brea is sleeping somewhat peacefully in her hotel room, window closed, when the window slowly opens, and a person dressed in a strange ninja like outfit enters, with glowing red eyes. She shivers lightly from the cool night air but doesn't wake up and it sneaks over to her, pressing a cloth over her mouth and grabbing her, causing her to wake with a start trying to pull away. It ignores her struggling and tries to pull her to the window, unintentionally loosing grip enough for her scramble away and knock things down making a lot of noise. The ninja merely glares and goes after her inches away from grabbing her again, when the door swings open, and Tech fires at it, disipating it once fit. He immediately runs over to her in worry.

Tech: Brea! Are you alright?

Brea: W...what was that?

Tech: I don't know...but I am going to find out. Come on, let's get you out of here in case it comes back. You'll be safer in my room. -spends the rest of the night watching over her alert for any more strange occurences or sounds-

(OUTSIDE)

Destiny: -sitting outside away from it all, talking to Delano- Well....looks like your "ninja's" not doing that good after all.

Delano: *sighs* Seems as though my magics are a bit rusty if thats the best I could make...

Destiny: -rolls eyes- Obviously. Well, that went well. Think you need to think of more and better strategies.

Delano:... let us return to the base... I apparently need to re-prioritze my targets...

Destiny: -rolls eyes- Like what exactly?

Delano:... the seals must be broken... release my powers.... and then I will capture her...

Destiny: And how are you going to manage that?

Delano:... *smiles* With a bit of help from your boss.

Destiny: Well....you need a new plan I guess.

Delano: ... indeed... *shakes head and thinks* just... have some birds watch the building... we might not be able to see whats going on inside... but we will know when they leave.

Destiny: -rolls eyes- Right. -sends birds at all entrances/exits/seeable windows; a bird misjudges and accidently flies into the window hitting it loudly-

Delano:... can't you do anything right?

Destiny: -glares- And who exactly do you think you are to criticize me?

Cian: *chuckles* Your right, its not like I'm your father or anything. *walks past her with a grin*

Destiny: -glares then scoffs- What is it with men and their god-complexes? Their stupid security field things are luring the birds to the window. -growls- I'm just sending them all to be killed!

Delano: *shrugs* Your fault for not controling them well enough...

Destiny: -glares eyes glowing hatefully- It's your fault for going through all this stupid stuff to begin with! -smirks- By the way, was the two of them spending the night together, in your plans?

Delano: *freezes*... excuse me?

Destiny: It wasn't exactly the nicest thing to subject my animals to. Thankfully the birds couldn't see in.

Delano:... *clenchs fists in anger*... That... was not a part of the plan... and now I have someone else that needs to be killed...

Destiny: Huh? Not exactly the reaction I was expecting...

Delano:... and what were you expecting, this? *uses his powers to fling her out of the room and hard agenst the oppisite wall*

Destiny: -growls in annoyance trying to remain calm- Weren't you going to kill them all anyways?

Delano: Yes I was... but now he is a priority instead of just a minor target.

Destiny: -stares at him strangely- And just what caused that change?

Delano:... that is none of your concern girl.

Destiny: -grits teeth in anger but storms out as he smirks-
