Welcome to Gaia! ::

Sol screamed again struggling as he was picked up, acid quickly burning into his skin even as the vines were cut through, their based falling harmlessly to the path below. The older plants didn't cling to tightly, they were more interested in the two metas than Zaku himself. Zaku managed to move past them without activating their defense mechanism and moved on to the other side.

Now that he was on the other side, there were the four building one with a medical symbol on it, a dock with what looked like a canno and nothing more. To the sides were rocks with small outcropping of sea resistant shrubs with a few oddly color plants nestled either. It was an island a very small one from the looks of it but the back of it could not be seen. A few humans could be seen running trough the plants without activating, they pause at the giant moving tree and turned right back around.

Sol was struggling and suddenly shifted, a burning elemental flame white hot to burn up the plants and acid before colopsing back to normal.

The closest building was unmarked, it had no windows and looked more like a cement block with a steel door in front. There were few people out, those that saw the commotion ran to hide and for the moment it was quiet other than for the slithering of the tendrils and roots of the mature plants that were completely out of range.

Sol laid in the Tree's grasp breathing heavily. "Something's...different about you.....can't put...my....finger..on it.." he let out a pained laugh so not to cry before turning over and looking below. "Gaia that hurt, sod plants stupid experiments....present company excluded ..... huh...I don't know where...we are ..before you ask. When I've been moved it was always in the trucks... " he shouted, getting serious.

Sol stopped talking as the healing took affect, just closing his eyes as he focused on breathing and the fading of the pain. As Zaku spoke his eyes fluttered open and he took a deep breath before turning himself and looking down. "I was unconscious when I came and other than the truck rides I never seen the sky for a while.Others have tried to escape some were seen again others weren't, but they only spoke of the plants. If there is an exit ...I don't know it " he said tiredly. At the mention of Calise he stared fixedly at the ocean. "Well some might escape from the plants you trampled....but maybe she is in one of those buildings " he said quietly, but there was an odd tension in the way he held himself.

Sol took a deep brea h, feeling much better than moments ago even if he glanced at Tri's dead body in Zaku's other hand, completely limp almost as if unconscious if it wasn't for the hole in his chest. Sol took a deep breath and struggled a little to get down as Zaku kicked in the first door and peered inside.

The first thing he would notice was Tri...his spirit glaring angrily back at him flanked by Mara who looked to be trying to talk to Tri, at least trying to pull him toward a room.. Through him was a corridor flanked bu two rooms on either side and a room at the end. There looked to be no guards at all but each rim had a reinforced lock as the entrance.

The spirit shied away from the root made hand, glaring at him as he floated back before Mara's ghost caught him. "We're dead. He can't see you or hear you...look i found something interesting" she snapped. Both of them suddenly stopped and turned to stare at the tree when he called out Tri's name "I take that back, Zaku didn't just get uglier ..."she pulled him through a door shooting at him again.

"Hello?" a familiar muffled voice called at the end of the hallway, not the door the ghosts went through. "I told you to let me out, they are yelling.What's happening?! "

Sol slammed himself against the wall as Zaku passed and tried to move behind him and out of the way, watching him with confusion and wondering if he got hit by something the plants had.

-shakes fist at Gaia-

The voice went silent, and dread set in deep as he took off as fast as he could for the door, "CALISE!" he yelled, using his momentum to try to bust down the door.

Zaku was panicked, angry, impulsive. Far too many emotions to control at once for the first time in his life, the rising fear of the small girl he once saw and the possibility she needed help...or worse. The shouting only garnered the deepest glare as the tree whipped around to the other person in the room. Expecting a scientist or guard, his heart suddenly sank deep into his stomach. His angered expression draining away to horror as the face that stared back at him was.... him. Utter shock and disbelief as Tri's dead body slipped from Zaku's grip. He stared. This was... what in the...

He wasn't breathing. He couldn't, or could he and he was breathing too fast. He couldn't tell anymore, the buzz of static in his mind as he honestly was incapable of processing what he was seeing. Zaku would have been shaking had he not felt completely paralyzed with fear. It was only when the man...himself... reached out to touch him. In that instant, he smacked his hand away and grabbed onto him, tackling him to the ground and in a rush of sudden intense hysteria, he was trying to kill him, branches twisting into sharp points to stab through the body that mimicked his own. It had to die.... he had to die... even he didn't deserve to live, so why should this thing.

His thoughts raced frantically in a mess of erratic demands and questions and not a single thing made sense anymore as his mind was slowly pulled asunder without any ounce of understanding anymore.
