Welcome to Gaia! ::

"L-lies...I-it was y...your fault " he said his speech slightly slurred indicating that his brain wasn't left exactly in touch when they took his ornament."You k-killed Mara....Hexxis b-because y-you didn't w-want to " he was crying at he summed at Zaku. "Ree....1,2,3,4,4,6,7,8,9 " he said repeatibg the numbers that corrosponded to the last of Zaku's chances remembering the person they were inflicted on. His hand was shaking as he aimmed and shot at Zaku with no hesitation two more times after that as Sol as trying to look back."...He doesn't understand Zaku " gasping as he was hit as well even as the. Style raged around them.

"Darn if Zaku, that's not Trisuri!" Sol shouted from behind him heating the dirt around hm as he tried to make it hot enough to move in.

Tri looked pained "a-always m-making deals...s-stop. T-that is how t-they allll died. A-lll g-gone. A-alone. " he struggled to say as tears tracked down his face and he tried to aim again.

Tri fired one more time through Zaku's chest before the tree roots hit him. He gasped a look of pained surprise on his face before he slumped over life leaving him within seconds now that he barely had a heart.

Sol grimaced as the last bullet went through Zaku and into his shoulder but it didn't stop him from trying to continue to pull himself out, glancing now and then at Zaku and blinking as he saw Zaku's arm transforming into a bunch of roots and Tri's lifeless body hanging on the other said. "Poor baby..." he muttered very softly a flicker of sympathy before he moved back to work. The battle was starting to die down with fallen on either side even when there were few uniformed metas the young were still better trained.

Tri's body slump stuck on the end of the root arm, pulled from where he was on the second floor and moved toward the first befor race being caught by Zaku. He was gone, hanging limply from Zaku's arms there was no difference that he would see between the real Tri and a fake. On closer inspection it was obvious there was more lighter wounds and burns.

Sol dragged himself out of the heated dirt wearing shorts now. He had one hand to his shoulder as he got up and turned to look at Zaku. "Sh**!" He was taking note that Zaku looked like Swiss cheese how was he even still moving?! "You ..you get the osomeone with healing come here! "ealing come here! "

Sol was staring as one meta headed toward them, looking more like they might fall over than actually make it. However they stopped and a look of pure terror bloomed on their face as they turned and ran, "Uh oh.." Sol muttered and looked back, expecting to see Zaku dead and a Haven backup rushing in. Not just a tree...... a humanoid tree growing and growing and gro- "Sh** Really!!" Sol shouted and backed away, looking for Zaku and not seeing him. Gaia... did it eat him?

He backed up, one hand in his shoulder as people screamed and started to flee but everyone was free from the cages at least but there were still some inside of both trucks. He heated his skin and waited for an attack, why was their plant experiments -here?!-

...Wait...was that a body in their hand? It looked like Trisuri .....sh** was that Zaku?!. "Zaku?!" He called but as they started breaking part of the roof and the wall he growled and followed.

Outside of what looked to be a normal factory shipping area was the main building large but not as large as it seemed inside with its multiple levels. The words "Wellington Nursery" were crisply painted on the side of the building with the same sign at the entrance. All around were greenhouses and nurseries with the west section housing normal plants and everything else felt wrong. The plants seem to whispered for blood, meta blood and dig dig dig. As Zaku took a step outside the clamoring began for the body in his hand.

The plants were moving, they were breaking small holes in the greenhouse glass and snaking their tendrils to the body in the Tree's hand. Many were being swatted away, others were burning into the bark a few were slick with acid and others were trying to shock it once it started attacking back. //Dig dig dig... blood blood blood. Meta ..blood //

Sol grimaced at the yell, Gaia is was actually scary gaining his attention at all right now yet he was still following. Keeping on hand on his shoulder he looked around, burn? Burn what? Holy...

Sol stared as plants started reaching up from their baskets and hitting against the greenhouse before attempting to grab the tree, being pulled out by that limb and hanging from Zaku. Burn that? Oh he hope he meant that because ...that was just wrong. Sol cupped his hands until fire boomed then threw a fire ball into every hole he could see.

Further ahead were about four buildings sprawled around and beyond that was the ocean with no land in sight.

As Zaku hit the perimitter there was a crunching sound, like bones breaking underfoot before what looked to be dead brown plants rose up with tendrils trying to get the body in Zaku's grasp, not hurting him yet. It was a more mature version of the younger plants what had been hanging off Zaku.

Those that fell off and were no long in range of Zaku turned on Sol who was bleeding and struggling to light everything on fire, what was not helping was the ice that was growing from inside the greenhouse themselves. Distracted by that he barely saw the plants, screaming as they attacked with acid and ice, trying to wrap him up.
