"Hmm?" Burning eyes turned towards the creature standing across the buildings from him. He'd turn to him and start laughing a little. He'd wave over saying to him, "Guten abend!"
From his back exploded a burst of light, flinging him over to the roof, as he slicked his feet with shadows again, gliding over towards the creature of youth before him. He'd tilt his head and ask, "Why do they chase me?" He already detected the man's presence through the city considering that he was rather more efficient at chasing the creature. He'd smile and ask, "Are you a young one?" tilting his head at the same time.
The light and dark around him flickered a few times, strangely, and his shoulders burst on fire for a split second, then extinguished. He'd tilt his head and then mutter something to himself softly... He'd laugh moments later then say, "I AM broken!" To one who knew nothing about him, like this man before him, one would easily be abled to label him insane!
"Riverrun is tiny..." He looks out around the city laughing a little, "Why so small? Nothing could be accomplished with that much space? The other young ones had to tower their buildings upwards to himmel..." He'd continue listening to his music and turn back to the man following him.
"Adrian!" spurted the man, pressing the back of his hands together while crossing his arms slightly to perform such an action. He'd step back a bit, stopping on the edge of the roof, spawning a small orb of fire, spinning it idly about. Occassionally he switched it over his back and his shoulder, spinning about here and there to maintain the momentum.

"Huh..."
His brow arched as he peered his electric blue eyes over the rim of his shades to the other. This man had plenty to say...even if half of it sounded like spurts of an unstable mind. In a way, Light was reminded of an old comrade of his. A sharpshooting drunkard who was rather skilled in technology and chaotic magic. Others called him insane...others called him a genius.
"What's your name? My friends call me Light. If the guards knew who you were they wouldn't be chasing you around." Unless this guy was a threat. Light would smirk at the thought as he crossed his arms. He'd watch the man play with fire, noting that this person seemed to have control over light as well.

Ooc posting from iPod will fix big issues later
Still swinging, he turned to the legend and said to him, as if he should know already, "Adrian is what you would call me." He approached light, opening his mouth as a small portion of light poured out from the orifice in a soft wave, like smoke being exhaled. He'd smile a bit wider saying, "It's too small for all of them... What happens if they brake?"
Chuckling to himself, h started towards the edge asking the man who clearly was a guard, "how many run these lands?". He cast his hand out over the lands, easily to be mistaken for being just the city, yet he spoke of the planet in its entirity.
Another couple of light flashes occurred, and when the last of the. Finished, his back had the pair of strange opaque butterfly wings jutting out. He maintained normal size but frowned anyway...
"Im broken again!" announced the creature. Anther batch of flahes and the wngs were gone. He smiled at that fact but then frowned to the other saying, "you tell no one of my brokenness." The smile returned as he asks, "So why is ever ything all uptight?" A second orb of fire spawned and he began to use it nto perform some entertaining tricks.

Rorek Orobus  Senther turned around from his position to see The man known as Seijuro, Now facing him with his peircing yellow hues he would curl his lips to smile lightly. "Well, its the best I could do of a replica, Provided it could use some fine tuning but I think it'll do the trick till I can finally get into that great library I hear so much about so I could further my knowledge... Oh I'm sorry, I'm rambling..." He would gently shake his head as he then heard the offer of a drink from the man, he then looked down at his arms before looking over towards his tool box. He then began to lift up his tools one by one as he made some form of changing surface so he could hold one of the small cups. "Sure, I could use a drink." Senther's smile softly dropped to a grin as he'd move the collection of tools and parts towards Seijuro, awaiting him to place a cup of sake upon it so he could drink.  "No no, its ok. It's very interesting. I am glad you are letting me in one this." Seijuro filled the smart ones cup of sake and cheered him. "We will need all the help we can get. This is the final war after all. I am sure it's going to get extremely tough." Seijuro implented it was the Final war due to all the familiar faces and warriors showing up, It had to mean it was written in the stars for all of this to happen.

Adrian. Of course. Seems like Light would have to pay closer attention to Adrian's words more than his actions. Although the half-angel was finding some amusement in Adrian, Light didn't have much time to stand there and get acquainted.
"This land spreads far beyond our sights. The numbers are no doubt high." Light was not looking down to the guards and didn't really want to show his face to them anyway. "All of us our broken in some way...some of them have had their pride broken. This city has been under attack by powerful beings that have proven difficult to stop. Everyone is on guard because of that. In fact I was on my way to gather some of the warriors from here to make our stand. If you become a defender of this city the guards will stop chasing you around."
The half-angel still had his little smirk curved up his lips. Perhaps Light was the mad one! Attempting to enlist a complete stranger who's motives and mental stability were uncertain!

Continued his performance staring out over the land. His burning eyes catching farther than most, but then again that's because he pulled the light in. He'd smile and say, "Tell me about these powerful beings attacking you?"
He'd turn without breaking momentum of the orbs and take a few steps towards Light, saying, "I can't really take sides if I don't know which side I should be taking." He'd nod his head, in an expression saying something of the sort of its logical basis. The ancient's tricks slowly became more and more advanced.
"What about the other strong ones here? Or are you it?" He'd smile thinking to himself thoughts well wrapped in age and secret that even should someone be able to read his mind they wouldn't be able to really understand his train of thought.
He'd turn and take a few steps towards the castle again, walking off the roof and onto solidified light. "Heilig ist mein Kreig, und man kann machen der schneller... Aber ist meine Kreig und nicht der man..." He'd turn his head smiling asking, "Javol?"

(( Massive post ahead! xD )) ♠
Light's smirk faded as his demeanor took a more serious look. His arms would uncross as he took in each question, disregarding that he didn't understand enough German to fully comprehend what Adrian was saying. Light would try his best to inform Adrian just what had happened. And what better way to do it than to simply show him?
The half-angel would use the very light that Adrian had stepped on, harnessing his own powers over the element to gather the surrounding light as well. Both himself and Adrian would be engulfed in an abysmal white light as the half-angel manipulated and crafted the images of each Vaste Lorde that he could recall. Nnoitra, a tall and slim looking man with a wicked grin, Szayzel, who wore glasses along with having pink hair looked smart, Grimmjow, a wild looking man who had a malevolent grin, Aporro Granz, probably the most "normal" looking of the bunch who wielded a trident, Halibel, a dark skinned woman who's gaze looked dull and bored, Barragan, an older, muscular man who looked wise beyond his time, Ulquiorra, his demeanor was calm and his gaze was almost lifeless. The last that Light could recall would be Stark, a mellow man who didn't appear to take anything seriously. Yet he was the most powerful...each Vaste Lorde was dressed in white, almost like Light was.
"These creatures came from another realm. Hueco Mundo...a place where time moves faster than in this realm. Their purpose for attacking Riverrun was because three doors to opening and connecting our realm with theirs were hidden here. Instead of simply taking them or negotiating they gave the defenders of this city a chance to protect this place."
The images of the Vaste Lorde twisted and swirled until Light manifested the images of Rorek, the man with a red scarf, Inferno one cloaked in darkness who had a hateful gaze, David, who's complexion was like Light's since he was also another half-angel and himself standing before a dimensional rift. A dark and ominous portal swallowed the fighters as Light further manipulated the images to show white towers. Each pillar was large enough to house a small village. Each tower looked like oversized skyscrapers. There were no designs of any sort, nor did the vast cold sands of Hueco Mundo make the vision look any more lively.
"Those towers is where each of us fought to progress through their ranks. We had came with others but I haven't heard from them since I first fought with Nnoitra." A brief image of Light and Nnoitra flashed past Adrian. Nnoitra had grown two more arms and was wielding what looked like four giant battle axes! His frame easily overshadowed Light's. "Soon, most of us had fought our way to the top four...Ulquiorria, Halibel, Barragan, and Stark. David was defeated by Ulquiorria and was even turned into another Vaste Lorde. Rorek had gotten through Halibel while Inferno and myself fought Barragan. Before any decisive attacks were dealt, Stark came to fight the three remaining defenders of Riverrun. Stark, Ulquiorria, and the newly recruited David had fought Rorek, Inferno, and me. Stark's brother had even joined in...we all fought as hard as we could but their combined abilities and powers steadily put us at a disadvantage."
"In the end, Rorek had sacrificed himself to try and take out Stark. " A massive explosion erupted before Adrian, the visuals expressing how powerful the blast was. The towers which were seemingly indestructible were demolished right there. Yet Stark was not defeated. Inferno and myself were thrown out into the sands of Hueco Mundo, every fighter looking beaten, bruised, burned, and broken. The image showed Inferno leaving an unconscious Light behind as he stormed off on his own to challenge Stark and Ulquiorra alone. Everything went dark as the natural scenery returned. Adrian would still be standing away from the roof and facing the castle as the light faded.
"I was spared my life for some reason. I woke up back here in Riverrun but...to my surprise 10 years had passed. What felt like hours in Hueco Mundo was probably years passing here. I thought I was the only one left....but I recently discovered Rorek had been revived. Another comrade of ours, Takehitsu has come to aid us as well. I was able to meet up with new warriros just in time for the Vaste Lorde to re-appear and take the three "doors"." Light showed a shining glowing cube in front of Adrian. Not even Light knew what it truly looked like.
"Inferno...he was also turned into a Vaste Lorde. I fought him in hopes to bring him back to our side but neither of us could gain an advantage over the other. My friend Takehitsu and Khuul fought with Halibel and Aporro over there" Light pointed to where the old arena used to be. Now there was only a large crater, cooled lava and damaged buildings. "The Vaste Lorde were successful in obtaining the first "door". A few other Vaste Lorde came and obtained the others as the new defenders of Riverrun tried to fight them off. In the end they had all slipped back to Hueco Mundo. I had discussed matters with Takehitsu and was on my way to regroup with the other fighters. We came up with a plan...and then you showed up. I wasn't sure if you were a threat to the city or not. Now I'm asking you if you want to join up with us...."
♠ (( TL;DR version: Light briefly explains who the Vaste Lorde are and why they have attacked Riverrun. There are three "doors" or "keys" that can spread Hueco Mundo to this realm and others. He also explains who some of the Defenders of Riverrun are as well as how some of them were turned into Vaste Lorde. ))

 Takehitsu finally arrived at the walls where Senther was supposedly at. It actually only took him a few seconds to spot the dark elf. Takehitsu ran in silence until he was right behind the dark elf. He knew it might be shocking to fin him still alive as most everyone thought him to still be dead. In likeness to Takehitsu's typical attitude, "My cloak?" This was his greeting for the moment.

Still as stone, he watched. Nothing really changed his expression... Amused... However it was peculiar how even at the sudden explosion he remained motionless... Not even blinking.
When the display was finished, the oldest would ask, "What exactly makes you think I would join your side?" There was no ferocity in his voice, no threat to not join, just a simple question true as can be. He'd say to him, "From what it sounds, you'd be asking me to join a side at greatly lowered odds, join a side that I have nothing in common with, go against potentially the only people who can get me back to my own home... Join a side who's morale as decrease so signifigantly that it's all too probably that this inferno you spoke of has joined with the enemy... And run on the sheer hope that we may be abled to subdue them long enough to find these mysterious items and lock them away."
His features remained showing no hint at his age, no showings of his actual power. The man seemed like just a guy who could create a little fire. He chuckled and asks, "And you feel like I'd be a signifigant force to your people?" He'd step off the roof onto pads of light again saying, "Seems like you're a bit desperate..."
The light disappeared, letting him drop. He manipulated the light around him to make it seem like he were invisible, or had completely vanished... At the same time, he moved the darkness within him upwords and to the side of Light. He then allowed himself to be seen again.
"I appreciate the offer you make, but no. I will not join you. On a lighter note, I will not join those who appose you either. We each have our goals, and mine conflict a bit with both of yours." He'd smile and say, "But that does not mean I won't help you." He'd then go stern and say, "Also doesn't mean I won't help them either..." He'd take a couple steps away from Light, so that he was infront of him again, and sit down, looking at the castle.
"You fight no war of good and evil... Neither side is righteous or holy...At least no sides that are defined. You all want to control... A redundancy that is all too thoroughly repeated." He'd smile and say, "Because it's happened before right?" He asked while turning his head, smiling.... "I'm gonna fight for my side, and right now, my side wants to know if there's any good food in this city!"

Light paused a moment and glanced over to the castle. He pushed his shades up again out of bad habit and smiled, "Yes, I am desperate. Although I do like to gamble. Makes things interesting....Granted...someone who can manipulate the light can manipulate what other people comprehend. Perhaps you're as harmless as you look?"
Light wasn't sure why Adrian was pulling a little disappearing act but he'd shrug it off as Adrian being bored or something. The half-angel would then point to his left, "There's a good cafe down that street. I would give you a tour if I didn't have to meet up with my comrades."
Light stepped away from Adrian and wondered if it would be wise to simply leave him be. Well whatever happened, happened. Right now his priorities were to deal with the threat he did know about.
"Ciao."
He'd wave his hand and drop down to the alleyway to continue looking for the dark elf. He'd have to backtrack and make his way over to the city walls again.

And away they went. The guards continued onwards searching for the mysterious man that disappeared in (what I'm now going to declare) the night. Instead of heading towards that most likely delightful cafe that the legend he spoke to had pointed out, he felt he should pay someone a visit.
The creature bounded off for the castle. He launched himself using the shadows that were around him, taking extremely long leaps from building to building, on his way towards the construction. He gave himself a nice large hood to put up once he arrived at the doorway. The guards around it started to approach him asking stereotypical lines like, "What business do you have here?" and "Halt! State yourself!" They got within a couple feet of the ancient one, and dropped, unconcious... Their innards frozen solid by the darkness that lies within, just fast enough to stop enough activity to force them asleep, and released soon enough to prevent permenant damage. He'd smile and say again, "Heilig ist mein Kreig..."
More guards who heard the sudden stop of voices approached. He rolled his eyes, turn and face them. His hood up, the shadows forming a mask around his face. He walked towards them as they approached, drawing their weapons as they had before. He'd force a flash of light into their eyes, temporarily blinding them... Long enough for him to walk up next to the first one, and grab him by the throat...
He broke. The second guards vision started to fuzzily come into focus, enough to see a bug winged monstrocity lifting his partner up off the ground by the throat. Adrian turned his hand on the breathing section of the man, so that he flipped him upside down and choked him. Then the creature swung the first protector into the second, knocking both of them out cold. The wings fluttered. His form flickered. He took off towards the center of the city, leaving behind screams of terror from his look by those who gazed upon him.

Senther took the second cup with his metal arm formed out of the bits and pieces that he used to create the new defense system. He would raise the cup to his lips before pausing after hearing Seijuro's next sentence, it worried him somewhat as he would press the cup to his bottom lip and down the liquid before speaking. "Help? I'm not one to help on the front lines... I'm more of a background man,. Those Vaste Lorde would rip me apart and use my remains as a training bag..." Senther stated, obviously he lacked a lot of confidence, but this was mainly due to the figures he had worked out within his head upon odds of him winning in any one on one fight with any of the Vaste Lorde. All the results were very low chance of him even surviving, let alone winning. He would feel the quick movement of air pressure upon his back as he felt movement within his personal space. He then heard the voice of Takehitsu, he wasn't too surprised, judging from what he saw at the arena, he didn't seem like one to simply roll over and die. He would not answer, no surprise, no reaction at all as he seemed deep in thought about the current figures of success. He then moved the large amount of metal that formed the single arm, it separated leaving the cup next to the large device that he had recently set up. after that the metal fragments moved through the cloak as it would then lift it, moving it towards Takehitsu so the cloak was to Senther's right, as he would hold the metal fragments in a hook formate, allowing Takehitsu to take it easily. "Here." And with Takehitsu's blunt greeting he got a reply just as blunt. It wasn't because senther took his greeting as in insult, infact that was far from it, it was because he was thinking about his current defenses and his development upon his new bullet, he needed a less obvious way to set it off towards the Vaste Lorde. Because quite obviously with him carrying around a large rifle, they wouldn't let him get a shot in.

Takehitsu smiled briefly and put his cloak on and took comfort for only a moment. "Senther, and whoever you are. We need your help. It involves the Vaste Lordes and it involves a lot of things short in we need your help. When we have gathered everyone at my tower." He points towards the tower of eternity, "I can fully brief you on the next plan, probably the first real thought out plan against the vaste lordes. Honestly anyone and everyone will be needed no matter how strong, weak, fast, slow, intelligent or whattever they are. We have come up with a plan to get rid of these demons."

".........."
Light was almost to the others by now. He wondered if he'd encounter anyone else along the way. He knew that some of the others had been taken away by Rose but that wasn't necessarily a problem. If they were altogether it would be easier to re-group anyway.
