Welcome to Gaia! ::

Dargex stopped in his tracks and growled. " Oh yeah?! Blackfire wave!" he said as a brust of black flames came from his hand. Shepard looked a bit shock and put his arm out infront.

"Phoniex shield!" he yelled as a blue ball covered him as the the wave of blackfire harmlessly covered his shield. Dargex looked scared and started to back up. He was about to run when Shepard used his speed to warp behind him him and punch him straight at the ground. Gordon realized Dargex was heading straight for them so jumped a ways back to avoid Dargex, who smashed into the ground causing a small crater to form.

Gordon walked over the pit as Dargex slowly got up. " Do you give up? Please. There is no need for this violence. Just go home" he said looking at Dargex in the eyes. Dargex slowly flew up in the air and started flying slowly away. Gordon sighed and looked away.

Suddenly behind him was a huge beam of blackfire headed for him. Gordon quickly looked back and created a beam of chaos energy and fired it back. The red ceam quickly over came the black one. Dargex moved so not to get blasted and looked at Gordon wided eyed. " That was my strongest attack!" he said. Suddenly he felt heat behind him.

" Phoniex wave!" Shepard said as a a huge wave of bluefire consumed Dargex and blasted him into the ground causing a an explsion as it went into the ground. Nothing was left of Dargex. Gordon shook his head regreting the loss of life.

Jax came out of Shepard and nodded. He walked all the way to Sivera. " I know how you feel. I know taking life should be avoided but Dargex...and his brother seek to bring back there father...EEF. He has killed billons of people in cold. Destoryed entire planets for the blackfire name. Better one life died then billions lost" he said floating up to her level.

" I don't know. I think Gordon and Shepard will go to train now. I can only stay away from him from so long before I am forcefully pulled back to him. So I am going to be going to be around the training hall. If you guys want you can come" Jax said smiling at them both.

Haruko wandered back from the fountain and handed her watering can to Rin. "Your turn!" she said, grinning. She smiled and waited for Rin to water the tree and walked around it, studying. There were two good places for doors. She picked one, the one that was in the direction of the sun, and waited some more.

Then she realised: Rin probably didn't know what to do. The concept was simple, but the actual undertaking was hard. Especially with a Great Tree Child. She rushed back to Rin before she did anything and looked at her. "Just so you know, water the tree, and step back around... oh say... 20 feet or so. It should grow another 15 or so feet. Then I'll add the door and we can go inside. It should be prefurnished. All right?" she said. And she had lied to herself. It would take at least 3 days for them to get to Olympus. It was interdimensional tree travel, after all.

Haruko watched as the tree grew another fifteen feet or so... it was about 27 feet in diameter. She smiled and wandered towards the tree, finding a place to put the door. She found a few spots that were suitable... and picked one. It was in a clear area. She knocked on the wall a few times and a door started to form from the oak wood. First the outline of the door... then a knob... and then a few small lines... forming into a design. First of a face... and then a body... then more lines. It was making another famous story, this time not about Demeter, but of her brother, Poseidon, and his different escapades to woo his wife... untill he made her horses... and she fell for him. She smiled and opened the door. She waited for Rin's reaction.

There was a plush white carpet on the ground, with some blue and black furniture. It had a staircase in the middle...leading upstairs to a second floor landing with two doors, one pink and one black, which said Agathangelos and Achlys, respectively. Haruko smiled at Rin's name. It fit her perfectly.

Haruko laughed as Rin gazed at the surrounding room. "You like it?" she said. She skipped into the tree and let Tama into his cage which was on a table in the living room. "It should take about 3 days for us to get to Olympus... We have enough food to last us for about 3 months." she said, coaxing Rin inside. She decided that as they were in Olympus, she would call Rin by her Greek Name, Achlys.

She suddenly got a straight face and looked at Rin. "While we're in Olympus, can you call me by my True Name? Agathangelos? I'll call you by yours." she said, pointing her head in the direction of the black door.

Haruko pouted. So what if her name was long? She pouted some more and stared at Rin. "It means Love Angel. And your name is Alchys. It means dark... or mysterious." she said, scratching under her eye. She sat down on the plush blue chair and took off her shoes. The would be setting off soon. Her bags were already inside. She smiled at Tama, who was happily running on his hamster wheel. She giggled and turned to Rin.

"I want to set off soon. It'd be a smart idea to sit down..." she said, using a stray vine to close the door behind Rin. She loved tree travel... having complete control over a vehicle without moving a finger. She smiled again and waited for Rin to sit.
