Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ayami would appear in on mirage island not knowing why she dragged herself here in the first place . The constant butterflies that roamed around in her stomach told her something just wasn't right . But never the less the young Uchiha pushed forward and hopes of finding the source behind the butterflies . Ayami would then burst into a sprint as she made her way through a dense forest keeping herself aware of anything that might wanna pop out at her . This was a new place somewhere she had never been before . So maybe the source of her butterflies was that of the mysterious that surrounded this new place . But at this point and time that was something Ayami wouldn't be able to tell let alone figure out . She knew that she would have to venture further into this new place to uncover the reason why fate wanted her to come here .

Ayami's eyes would widen as the buzzing and clasping of trees was heard off in the distance . But with all the noise she couldn't tell which direction that it was coming from let alone what it was . She would quick close her eyes and activate her sharingan . But before she could get a perfect on it's location the windmill shuriken had made it's appearance coming straight for her . She would have to think quick and on her feet if she wanted to dodge it . She quickly used her sharingan trickery time skip to instantly skip through time behind the shuriken infused with chakra . Once she reappeared Ayami would watch as the windmill shuriken continued on it's course in the opposite direction . " The flying swallow technique so it's a shinobi but where . Quickly twisting her head Ayami's senses would grow kin as she tried to pin point the shinobi that launched the over sized shuriken at her .

" It never ends ! Who in the world has the power to summon something of this caliber ! " Ayami stated as she closed one eye whle the other remained opened . From the open eye a light trail of blood would stream down her check and drip to the ground under her feet . " Amaterasu ! " Ayami stated as the dragon would start to feel the eternal burn of the black flames . She had hoped that it would do the trick in slowin down the dragon as it hurled right for her . Giving her time to body flicker into the trees to the right of the dragons path . Ayami would drop to one knee and place her hand over her eye . The Amaterasu still took a heavy toll on Ayami's body even when she didn't use to as much as other Uchiha did . But this state of pain wouldn't last long As Ayami quickly pressed unknown to what she was getting herself into

Ayami's head would jerk back and her sharingan would become fixed on the figure who finally made it's appearance . Ayami's feet would plant on the tree branch and quickly twist around to become face to face with her foe . " Hido...... " A certain pain would come across Ayami in the pit of her chest as she looked at her former comrade and love interest before her . " I would have never guessed it would be you . " Ayami now knew the butterflies in her stomach were for something but she never imagined that she would come face to face with Hido again . " So this is how it's going to be ... " Ayami stated as she closed her eyes only to reopen them and begun to string together a weave of handsigns . Slamming her hands on the tree branch . " earth flow rampart ! ." Ayami would cause the ground under the tree Hido was on to come up at a angle as to bring him closer to her . As the ground rose and the tree moved closer Ayami formed another combination of hand signs and placed her hand to her lips . " Fire dragon blast ! " As she inhaled the air around her and shot out a giant fireball in the shape of a dragons head . As it flew toward Hido it would open it's mouth letting out the loud sounds of roaring flames .

Ayami's eyes would grow wide as she watched Hido's eyes mutate into that of the mangekyo sharingan . " What in the hell . But the shinobi would not allow Ayami any time to be surprised as he quickly attacked her with the same exact justu except much stronger . " s**t ! " Ayami once again had no choice in the situation except use her time skip ability to skip through time reappear behind hido . She would quickly draw her Kasaimune katana and begin to infuse and sharpen it with chakra and quick struck at Hido . But once again Ayami would become surprised when her blade simply shattered into a million pieces on HIdo's ice armor . " What are you ! " Ayami stated as she remained in place still shocked at how powerful Hido had become over the years . It seemed that everything that she tried failed was it that she was no match for the new and improved Hido . She was simply out matched she knew this would only end one way . But never the less the determined Uchiha wouldnt give up until her last breath .

[ couple of more posts i gotta clean soon =] ]

Ayami's teeth would grinned together as she felt the burning pain over her heart . " Im Just sorry i failed you Hido . " The intense burning passion in her sharingan was focused on Hido she couldn't move there was nothing she could do at the moment except await the fate that was about to be bestowed upon her . Within a moment AYami felt a intense explosion pierce her chest . Her eye's would widen and her sharingan deactivating in the same moment . Her body was shaking but her eyes never felt hido . She would soon spit up blood that flew toward Hido and with her last breath managed to utter the single word . " HIdo . " Before she blackout and slowly slipped into the after life .

joachim could not belvie where he was. this villague seemed to be filled with a stange fog, how at first tought it was mist but it turned out it was not. it stayed and eventualy it filled the young armsters heart with dread he ran and ran. metting very few people along the way. he blinked as h bumped into something. he got up and looked around not knowing exactly what to do. joachim found himself in what appeared the be mountain ranges. and the entrance to what he could only describe as a temple lay before him, it was ornate and yet not ornate. he heard many voices comming from wihtin coices saying... no that was wrong they where chanting he heard them chanting in some unkown toungue and this all added to the fear alrady in joachim. he felt his heart jump as he heard someone comming near him. he turned around putting his staff in front of him in a defensive style there in front of him lay one person, with no weapons he was wearing the robes of pure black linnen. his caremel skin seemed out of place in this place where sun seemed to not be needed. his ruby eyes stroke him into him as he looked into them, those same eyes where made more pronuced the fact that this stranger seemed hostile without doing so. he pointed at joachim and smiled.
joachim coudl feel something nagging him inteh back of his head he did not know what it was but it was very important that much he knew. then as teh man moved joachim instinctively began to call upon the magic that exhisted in his body. this seemed to alarm the man as joachim began the words to summon an eon... keeping a close watch on the male. then he forgot the words. but hat could not be. he had forgoten evrything...who was he in the first place a name came coming to him but as easily as it did it left him. the man smiled and suddenly he face with a multitude no that would be the wrong word suddenly joachim armster was facing a legion of robbed men all looking like the man who had smiled at him. they whereall getting read to attackwhen joachim tought for a a moment. and finaly did a spell his armster circle. his staff vanished and hit the oponent where he had remembered seeing the man before sudenly the many people vanished. and slowly joachims memory returned to him.
yes kno i remember. i am joachim armster. i am here to learn techniques to fight and protect spira fro outsiders and others who might whant to couse harm to my lovely land. who is this person? why did i forget everything that is important to me even my memory. and why did i remember my technique only? this is going to have to end now. the man began to make handsings but joachim smiled. the man had tought that getting rid of joachims staff was that eassy did he? whell he had another thing comming oh no you dont. thsi time i remember who i am.. and i remember the techniques that have been instilled in me by the ronso and the guado and my own human race!!!!! he ran to the man who did not worry as he was about to finish his handsings. he did not seem to care when the staff weekly struck him int he shulder he finished his handsings and sudenly he was amased when he found that his technique failed when he looked at joachim it was to late. joachim ws in front of him with a fist alrady going into the gut. the man doubled over in pain and let out all of the air in his lungs but this was not the end of it. after the hit to the gut he grabed him by the top of his robe and picked him up and then slamming him unto the ground joachim then rolled awway and grabbed his staff and when he spoke his voice was full of anticipation as he reached for the words that woudl help him summon teh one person he trusted for this job
"SHARE YOUR PAIN WITH ME ANIMA!!!!!
a terrible screach could be heard as he fnsih the call. a dark circe appeared behind joachim and from it abotu thrity feet tall venus fly plant seemed to apared it had circles on its front but soemthing was wrong it was chainned and the chains rattled and groan the plant opened to revealed a frightening sight a being its hand or claws put acroos it chest to form an x it screached revialing all of its razor sharp teeth it had feathers in head that ooked liek a nohawk, the collor ofthe beast seemed to belong with the eternal gof of this land... this island of mirages suited anima. as the boy stood up joachim knew that his spell had worn off. thats when Anima let loose a cry that was so high pitch that it caused his opponent to feel as if his skin is starting to peel off even though he could see that he was not dying. that was when joachimfinaly understood.... anima and the other enons where incredidably powerfull. he had heard of this. this was animas cry of death and for once he was glad that no other spira summoner had apeared to take the quest having to face an eon woudl be a terrible thing for any one but for those that knew what to expect... that would be dreadfull.joachim knew he had won. this was only one of her techniques and he also knew that tough he did nto know many she would be enough to kill this indiviudal withotu him having to move but regardless joachim whent to the men and put one of his razor sharp points of his staff unto the mens neck.
" i surrender."
was the meek reply. joachim let go once the man promised to not do anything. joachim helped him up used cure on him.hemanlooked at hism in surprised.then he pointed to anima. with a questining look.
" this is anima one of the many eons that have undeer my control.you will do whell not to try anything like what you did before."
the men just laughed. joachim felt angry and was about to let anima go at him when he felt that nagging sensation becoming all that filled his body he was about to ill himself when the feeling finaly stopped. he looked at the man who had made a handsing.
" if i could have made the fight last longer and if i was not so honarable i would have destroyed you." joachim sat down feeling humbled. and let anima disapear into pyreflies that danced around them before going back into there world. " you come from a difrent realm than those who come here."
joachim realised it was not a question but it was a state ment he aggred.
" you donto do handsings like the rest of s you mumble words and thigns hapen. i wish to learn what you know."
joachim squirmed under the mans gaze.he was drect that was good armsters loved frankness it saved time during war.thats why what he woudl say would hurt
" only those born to be summoners can do what i did. i am sorry but only those born on spira can posibly even think about becoming smmoners, of those few there are some that can become magi, and of those there is an even smaller amount that i belong to that can become summoners."
" i see so then its only fair to tell you. am a genjutsu usser born in this land. i will teach you some of our techniques since youmight need it. of coruse the ones i teach you can be learned by many people. therefore it whont be much of an advantage."
" oh no it will, i must learn as much as i can and as quickly as i can i am willing to try almost anything to become strong, as long as i do not lose summons." thus right there joachim armsters training in the ninja art of illusions began. he learned that ninjas actualy get into peoples head and are able to place ilusions there using what was known as chackra. he was worned that only the best where able to trap an uchiha in an illusion sicne thy could turn them agiasnt you and it was imposible or so belived to catch hyugas in illusions becouse of there eyes. he got tought the basics of ninjutsu and taijutsu he was told of many clans and learned a lot about difrent types of genjutsu then he began being tought many of the jutsu that the man used in there battle wich where really three. and he leanred some of the ones he was going to use on joachim if joachim had not remembered his armster circle.
durign there luinch break as they walked torugh the island, joachim spoke to him in vivid detail of his life on spira. he told him of the armster family legacy of how many proud warriors had come out of there blood and the summoners that came otualways lead th life that summoners where born to do. it was said that an armster born into a boring life is rarer then the sun not comming up. he told him then of the history of spira of the dark days governed by the fear of sin. of his comming and of how he must be defeated. then he told him of yunna and her guardians and how they brought the knewest calm. and of evrything that happened after it. he talked abotu the decreasing number of births all voer spira and of how he was born to that time. of how like an armster he was tought tobe higher then a king of the harsh trainign in martial arts, learning to think smarterthen evryone planing and other usefull skills, and of his joy of grooming and racing chocobos. then he told him of how the genji bladechoose the next leader. and he was it. he told him of his travels and ligured when he talked of hi grandfather who was then nothing but an old man he called master, the man looked n in surprised as he discribed battle after battle that took place. of the brtality that he showed while holding the genji blade and of the many times he was cut and hurt only to hav someone near him to help. his voice dropped when he got to the pat of genji breaking. by this time they where back to there small camp near the mountains. he spoke with sadness for a great while of his feeling and of the dreams speaking foundly of the eoons and there plight. then he told in little detailof the ronso and there secrets. he would not betray anyone of his home. and of his fight wiht his grandfather and how he had chossend to live his home to save spira. thus when his tale ended he was spent and glad that not much had happened. he tougt of evrything that had happened to him. as they booth stared at the fire they could have been thinking about the same thing. booth of them new so much yet so little.in this situation even in a fight joachim knew that greatest advantague lay with the man. whoever he was he was good.
"what do you know of a soshi clan?"
" the soshi?"
they talked for a while longer about nothing in particular then they got back to teaching joachim about genjutsu. the next leasson was i actualy learning to d them. this was very hard for him to do since it involved learning to use chackra. this point was drive home by theman putting him in genjtusu after genjutsu till he learned it. after a while they booth ended up fighting each other. knowing that he would probably fail joachim did not care as they booth kicked each other. from there he leaned thatninjas where very good at using there surrundings as the man bounced from tree to tree to try and hit him but what he didnto count on was joachims aletrness to attck, after the last punch and before the man could jump joachim grabbed him by the leg and threw him on the floor. after a few moinutes they where on the top of of one of the mountains. the man had his legs shoulder with apart his body sideways hidding most of his body from attack. his right fist and left fist where out in about two to three inches apart from each other. joachim stood in teh typical armster fashion. one fist at his hip the right one his left hand looking like a butler with a towel. his left hand was out in front of his right wich was was pointing to his right side he was leanning backwards. from this position it would look horibel to anyone else but it served its purpose as the man attacked the left hand swiped away the attacks and when creating the opening he would step foward with a right fist to the stomach wich doubled him over allowing him to ddt his oponent to the ground. wich turned out to be nothing but a clone he rolled away from a heaven seal kick. he then rolled back away from a earth worthm big enough to eat a small fyth. stood up and held his staff at the ready as he and the man began to fight him using a wodden staff and joachim with his metal one. thsi was nto a fair match for the man. while the ngging inhis head increased joachim still fought with the desperation that joachims reafered to as the red death. he attacked and counter attack as was needed always putting preasure cutting when he could and always on the attack. he was not planning on loosing this fight. not in a million years. then it became more then he could handle and he brought the sword to his stomach killing himself. when he came back he could not belive it he was ont he floro the feeling increasing he was glad it was an illusion he brought the man down to his knees stabbing him in the heart making the clone vanish. joachim had made his mind illusions woudl be a welcome eddition to his arsenal but they would be hated when used on him. with a roar he was abotu to speak the name of anima and smiled. that is what he whanted. no he would do something better.
" show them the power of the sword.... yojimbo]/b]"
a rock garden seemed to appear out of nowhere a wirdly shaped dog came to joachims side sniffing at him and japing as sukura petals fell over them all. then from the tree steeped forth a being that seemed to go agiasnt the conventional wisdome he was tall like all eons, he had one a ronnin hat his face was bone white, and seemed to be like that of a birds, his eyes hidden by his mask he wore a pronuced armor that made it seemed like his body was even grater then it was his hakama pants and his robe each where difrent collors it started with a bit of gold on top some purple further bellow and then red. on his hakama pants where some armor for his sides. the armor was plated gold and like had the same olor patern of his cloths. he looked around he called otu hsi dogs name and the man sudenly was on the ground after a head but he stood up just in time to see 4 daggers cut him and felt weeker then the pice de resistence, he felt a wave hit him damaging him enough to make him cancel all of his genjutsu. once agianit was just in time to prevent joachim from lossing. yojimbo looked at joachim armster the last hoep of his family and noded with respect and as if acknowleding his skills. before he vanished into pyreflies. he whent to the man and began curring him

2740 words

Joahim armster was at a loss for words. the man he had met took him inside of the temple just to see what it was like. but it was made clear he would nto be allowed to go deep into it. he was amased at what he saw. the building he was in was carved into the stone with many lights from a misterus source around, joachim could not help but belive that it was a genjusuhe guessed if you have enough chackra you could make a genjutsu like that... but who would supply the chackra for such a genjutsu? maybe the same person that made the fog that permeated even in the church. everyone was wearing black robes with hoods that covered there faces. they where all chanting in what joachim guessed was an ancient toungue. as they chanted joachim looked around and was amased at what he saw close to what he guessed was an altar was a book and a scepter wich he guessed he would never be able to use. but near by where statues of what joachim could only guess where gods?? the statues seemed to him to be like the statues of the eons. there gods looked humonoids execpt the one that called the most attention to joachim seemed to be covered in flames and his eyes seemed to be serius joachim then looked at the other good wich seemed tobe covered in water and aigan a calm expresion but this one was a contrlled one instead of the fiery one. joachim fell into the feeling of reverance that came with teh place and sat down paying attention to evrything he saw many people making genjutsu of the scepter and the gods h decided to place close attention to them studing there eye movements there voices there movements with there fingers. joachims interest became even greater when he actualy tried he felt the chakra flow trough his body system felt it accept the sings and combining to form the scepter but stopped and left church. joachim could not help but hold his heart as he left. he coudl not belive what he was abotu to do. he really should not try to do soemthing so stupid. but he knew that such a jutsu would come in handy. so would being part of this clan... maybe he could becoem part of it.... no how could he think of such things he was an amrster adn the amster woudl be amrtser as long as they had breathin there bodies. he did nto know how the whole deing thing worked but he knew he would have to reamin an armster for as long as he could. and he would go and find the genji blade that was the most important object for him to hold. it would help him in battle and it would make yojimbo that much stronger. he kenw that yojimbo had an attak that could take out chackra if even by a little bit it would help him in the tournaments since he knew that many of the new people wudl be aroudn his chackra level he knew that takign any of them down would be a very helpfull. he woudl have to focouse tough on getting to th tournament stage where loosing did not mean you would get disqualified he could not wait another five years to leave his mark... tough in those five years he could becoem even strogner. he knew he had to start moving on from mirague. he did not have to much time left in him and he would need all of the time he had to try and get vectors. he breathed in deeply this woudl be the most trying expireince eh woudl posible do, and he knew he needed to stay there for a long time and then go pback to spira to finish learning some jutsu he left behind. he woudl do all of his training in beasaid island since he knew that woudl be the safest place for him to learn anything knew. he breathed in tought back to after that fight.
he had woken up in his house bed. he was breathing hard and found it quite dificult to move he knew his family perfered to let the bones heal themself and would only heal the most serius of injuries. he layed back down looking at the cealing thats when he heard a voie and turned to see hsi father dressed in a light blue suit with a dark blue shirt underneath. the shirt had buttons made of silver with the family emblem engraved into it in fine gold. his father was sittign down wiht his left leg lounging over his right his elbows where at the arm rest of the chair and his figners formed a triangle.
" do not get me wrong joachim the way you defended that girl was quite valient. but do you know how many favors i had to pull just to not get this incident in the spheres?" spheres where common in spira evryone learned how to make them in there first years at school they could be very helpfull in remembering things. " luckily the recording spheres showed your innocense and showed how whell you handeld your self. i have to say your tchnique was quite sloppy and you got injured to much. the choffer saw what happened outside of the school. and i am disapointed you had to result tothe drunken style just to take care of that person. you almost illed evryone you fought. it was not for the staffs and the chffers quick inteferene you would be charged ith murder. and even i cannot stop"
joachim looked at his father and just smiled his father reproches where famouse among his siblings for being brief but filled with tought. he wondered just how long his father slave d over the spheres coxing unheard of angles and demanding things that seemed imposible from them. many of the sphere makers that left his fathers service became known as execelent readers coxing things out of the spheres that where tought to be imposible and very helpfull weter it was to do wiht law, or just making sure a sphere was not tempered with.joachims father laughed as he continued.
" a little piece of advise my son do not ever let anyone hit you like that agian. you are destined to do a lot of great things my son. you must grow stronger as quickly as you possibly can. we must not let your talent go to waste my son" saying those words his father left joachim to take care of himself.
joachim opened his eyes once agian he was at the top of one of the mountains. he had decided thi might as whell be the last time he woudl eb here. he did now exactly how much he would be able to learn but he knew that he had had enough training in this eternaly fooged place. joachim then proceded to train. letting his muscles realx from all of the figting and non training he had been doing while he was here. while he was training he tought back to his last night with her
" you have to leave?"he looked into her eyes he could not speak as he saw her. she had come to the ronso home to try and catch him before he left but cought him as he came back." why give me one good reason why you should leave?"
" i have to leave to oprotect you. you whant to have children right?"
"yes" she resign herself to answer him not knowing why she felt dread as he spoke.
" while i was in the zanarkand ruined they came to me."
"who is they?"
"valefor, ifrit , shiva , ixion, behamut , yojimbo, anima, magus sisters. you know the fayths also known s the eons." joachim had to explain that way to her becouse he knew she loved hearing that prhase it set her heart a flouter to think of them.
" can you summon them?" he knew this was a test teh ronso that where aroudn also stooped doing what they did they would have asked if thy where not so respectfull. joachim smiled. and when to a place that was free of space.
" fly with me valefore." valefore apeared showing of her power. joachim knew the eons would lov this a chance toget used to there bodies. and then she turned to pyreflies
" eat the flames ifrit!!!!" they all where sorounded as frit apeared coacked in flames he let out a fire attack to the skies lighitng up there knight before he turned into pyreflies.
"ice there hearts shiva" shiva apeared as sensual as always cooling them all down and the ice making the knight shine with beutifull diamonds as the fire from ifrit burned off. then she turned into pyreflies
"light the storms ixion" the left over ice melted as lighting linked them into a necklace as the lighting unicorn aeard and disapeared joachim smiled it seemed ixion loved to thrillhe wodnered what the others would do to surpas him
" show them your might behamut?" the dragon apeared and toward over all then let otu a firece roar as he let out dark attacks then vanished into pyreflies.
" show them teh way of the sword yojimbo" yojimbo apeared with his dog in his usal form and cut the sakura leaves pefectly down the middle whie his dog headbutted each of the dark atttacks of behamut before he vanished along with his master.
" show them your pain anima" anima just apeared and let out a shriek. she would not show them her power or much of her pain she let out one of her attacks destroying a near by rock before she vanish.
"magus sisters take flight" they apeared one at a time and each let otu there individual attack before using there combined form to disapear into pyreflies.
joachim fell down he had never tought that summoning them would take so much energy the ronso quickly gave him something to give him energy. he smiled his thanks and looked at his girl.
" i have to leave to save you and spira the ronso alrady know why. i whant you to have children even if its not with me. i might die my love. i will likely come back to life.. something abotu the rules of life and death being foggy where i am going. but in the case i ca not come back i whant you to know you can marry who youo whant." he smield as she touched him with her horn. the love of his life was a ronso and he was studing rules to find a way for them to be together they stayed together for a while before she left him crying. he spent the rest of that night training with teh ronso learning from them. when he finaly left zanarkand for the world he was in now she said a silent thank you. he saw the staff in her hand and kenw she would become a summoner when she was old enough.
he smiled he woudl have to become strong before that he wuld not allow anyone to harm her. not his ronso queen.
