Welcome to Gaia! ::

Breathing angrily "Okay why does he need us we aren't really going to be able to do much of a dent to anything, and all that happened there pissed me off I about ready to explode!" When he says explode he makes a small shock wave and making sparks of electricity fly. Pacing around angrily "So when is he going to be here?!"

❄XXXSabriel MegalithXXX❄

Sabriel heard Oni's voice ringing through the halls of the guild calling out Grant's and… wait… that wasn't her…
Plastering a sickly sweet smile on her face the fairy princess indicated to Grants that she required him to pause for a second as she rose from her seat and swept out of the room.

Striding through the halls she made her way to where Oni was and right up to him so that her nose was somewhere in line with his navel until she looked up at him with a scowl.
Because of how close she was to him, he would have been able to smell the strong floral scents of jasmine, gardenia and water lily with an undertone of vanilla that accompanied her.
Even though she had to reach up to do so she prodded him sharply in the stomach with one finger.
"Never EVER call me Midget Furball or I will PERSONALLY declaw you!

The door of the guild would open and a small breeze would follow suit as Kira would have returned to the guild for the time being, his entire attire changed from before, lookin' far more sharp. Glaring towards the guard whom stood at the entry way, he would venture into the central hub where he heard Oni shout out to Sabriel, and her reply of course, if she let that go without answering back he would think it was an alien in her body. Then Oni spoke of declawing, Kira had to jump into the discussion. "Just want the claws, or the whole hand to vanish? i do have a giant sword after all that can cleave it off and by the way hi fellas." Kira would advance into the group's area and cross his arms as he scopes everyone out.

Kira had changed slightly, still the blue hair and kept his goggles on his head, but his jacket and everything else from before was replaced with a blue short sleeved shirt, over it a white coat that the sleeves went down passed his wrists, a knee pad replaced his hip guard from before, and he now wore a leather belt, majority of it was of the same material of his previous gear, so burning it would be a difficult task. Oh and of course his scarf had returned, which for those that saw in the back, was acting as the sheath to Azu, the sword he always kept with him.

Kira's eye's had a show of confidence generally different from his every day happy go lucky persona, he had realized these battles coming were gonna change the fate of the world, and he needed to step it up. "Alright let's get an idea of whats going on, We know Lucas and Arc, are lease far as we know teamed up on earth why? best case running from heaven, worse case, plotting something, our allies are few and far between and we are spread out thin to say the lease." He would rub the back of his head as he would walk next to Sabriel and ponder for a moment. "Wyndom and David are on earth lookin' for Lucas and Arc, Inferno we can assume is doing his own thing, i'll worry about him on a later date. The forces of hell we are unsure of cause of everything that happened, and to boot Heaven ain't such a safe haven. Which bring's me to you guy's Aurora? and sorry, but i didn't catch your name fella, i'll get your story in a moment."

Kira would inhale and exhale but resume what he wanted to say. "Once we figure out the option's we can make our choices based on that, at the moment till we get word from Wyndom & David on earth, we've no way to track Lucas and Arc, so that option is not one till we find a location anyways. More allies couldn't hurt Inferno mentioned Roy, whom i'd like to have along side us during this battles, even though he is looked down upon in hell, he still has power's that are above the average meta-human. So there's a option to go to hell to obtain Roy and others to meet on earth, likely Oni is to go and one other, Either the young man that came with Aurora, or myself would be the best option. Then we got Heaven here, there is someone pulling the string's but even though Imperius says he is an ally, i'm not entirely sure however, it maybe a long shot, but Heaven does have a hell of a network for figuring out information, so someone with cunning words and people would listen too would fare off here to deal with Heaven's issue, i'd have to put Sabriel in charge of that for sure, i trust no one else even Lucas in that aspect."

Kira would exhale as he was out of breath, talking was not his thing nor being a leader, but when push came to shove he fit the role, and would take it by the horns if it all came down to it, it wasn't his first rodeo either. "Now for Aurora and the young man, why did you guys show up? and if you have any detail's on Lucas or Arc, or the others like Wyndom and David, that'd be wonderful, considering the worlds hang in the balance, depending what you know may give us more option's or less of them, so if you don't mind let's hear y'alls story." Kira would look around again, he didn't know what to really do, but having option's in combat was always a good thing, in this case the option on what to do next was important, maybe, just maybe these two could tell them something to go on.

Oni would stay silent until everyone had finished speaking and let out a sigh. "We are not handing over the most important person in our team as a captive." Oni's eyes would dart over to Sabriel with a rather disappointed look in his eyes. "While you say beings like me have an innate healing, I never have before, and we both know that Kira doesn't either. That being said, the healer is the most important role in our group and that is your role. Without your support we aren't likely to make it very far since the two fighters in this group are rather reckless." Oni was of course referring to Kira and himself, since he didn't know much about Aurora or Altonrak.

"As for returning to Hell to get Roy I will not be joining you. Roy is weak, and wouldn't be of any help. If you want to go get him I won't stop you, but it will be on you WHEN gets killed in this war." Letting out yet another sigh the King of Hell would shift his arm back to normal as he walked past the Fairy Princess. "But since I know how stubborn you are Kira I'm not going to stand around and argue. If you want to take the two weaklings over there and go get Roy, be my guest. At least during that time I won't have to listen to your idiocy." Oni would take a seat in a nearby chair as he closed his eyes. I don't know why I even bother. They won't listen to me. Guess I'll figure out what they decided on when I wake up.

As the group in their guild where discussing their opinions, they'd hear a large clatter of of metal clashings followed by a loud thump. Assuming the guard had to handle someone being drunk the group may ignore it. The room then fell silent at the next sight. A strange figure, hunch over clinging to his broken weapon was now standing at the entrance. Should sort of oil was oozing off of his body and splashing onto the floor around him. What foul creature was this?

At first, it seemed that this thing was a monster from the swamp of something but givne a closer look a few of them would recognize him. The weapon fell first, bouncing off the ground. it was a broken run down halbred. Next the creature fell on his knees. Anyone would sense energy signature could fell a grand amount of energy, but it wasn't gathering up or threatening. It was struggling for some reason. What exactly was going on with this figure.

After the knees, he'd fall over barely catching himself as his hands slammed onto the already oiled up floor. But that oil wasn't oil at all, it was pure nightshade. the figure looked to be in critical conidition was appeared to be wounded in more ways than one. Who was he and how did he find their guild?

❄XXXSabriel MegalithXXX❄

Sabriel visibly winced as Grants referred to her as "Your Highness."
She'd grown up not knowing about her royal background and despite the fact it was a title she'd now lived with for quite some time, she still wasn't used to it.
"I don't like being called that especially in situations like our current one.
If Oni's the KIng of Hell and no one's using honorifics for him, then I'd prefer that I was treated the same."
There was no way she'd admit it in front of Kira, but she'd even be much happier being called nickname for her "Sabby" instead.
"I understand entirely why you all have turned down my suggestion though."

Reaching to the belt pocket where she kept her mirror, the fairy princess raised her eyebrow at Kira and his ramblings.
She most certainly hadn't heard Oni refer to them as a "team" or as a "party." A "group" most definitely though "team" and "arty" could almost mean the same thing.
It didn't feel right to burst the lycan's bubble though so she kept her mouth shut.

Clenching her hand around her mirror she looked up and around quickly feeling a sudden energy spike, a small "oh" sound escaping her lips.
It took a few seconds later for the smell of freshly crushed nightshade to reach her nose making her gag.
Nighshade, or Belladonna as it was also known was not a nice smelling plant and despite it's notoriety for being extremely toxic, in small doses it could be used as, among other things, a sedative.

Craning her neck to see past Kira, looking to see who he was greeting with his pseudonym and to figure out the source of the smell, Sabriel's eyes fell on the hunched over figure surrounded by oil.
If Kora had been around there probably would have been some amusing comment about "Forgotten Creatures of the Loch" being made.
Genuinely curious about the scene in front of her though, the fairy unleashed a small tendril of her magic to test the health of the figure along with the oil that was apparently oozing from him.
Forgetting that he was using his nom de plume, Sabriel flung out her hand taking a few steps towards Kira as if to grab him.
"KIRA STOP!"

Enemy or not, the stranger's demeanor teamed with what her magic was telling her screamed that she needed to help whoever it was.
Pushing past her friend, she shoved her mirror back in it's pouch pulling out a pair of thick leather gloves in its place.
Kora could wait.
Healing came first.
Crouching next to the stranger she placed one gloved hand on his shoulder, easing her magic into his body to check him for any cuts that may let the oil penetrate his system.
"The liquid is Belladonna. Deadly Nighshade if you want its common name. It's not technically lethal unless you ingest it and even then, you can have it in small doses. Either way, I wouldn't recommend touching it.

Looking to Oni, Grants, Kira and the two other strangers, she left her hand on the person and tucked her other arm between her thighs and torso while hugging her side.
"Can someone get me a bucket of water diluted with some sort of soap that will cut through oils and a cloth please?"

As Sabriel and Kira advanced towards the figure oozing with nightshade, he'd violently begin vomitting up nightshade. The nightshade poured out of his mouth and all over the floor below his head. His arms were shaking struggling to keep him from crashing to the floor. It was clear how much pain the figure was actually in. Sabriel at this time was pulled back as Oni revealed who this figure was. It was none other than the ex-leader of Hell, son of The Prize Fighter Inferno, Roy Salazar.

"Kikyo......Kikyo...has..." he struggled to catch his breathe, let alone speak what needed to be said. Again, he'd vomit nightshade up. If this was the case, then he was suppose to be dead. How was he still alive if the nightshade had infected his system? And more importantly, how did he find Kira, Oni and the rest? As this point, Oni knew Roy was beyond saving. He'd finally collapse upon the floor, nightshade splashing off of his impact. His face turned towards Kira now. His eyes slowly opened revealing that was really was Roy.

"Has betrayed..........me....Cruxis...she has chose,,,,,,,Cruxis,,,,," with that said, Roy's eyes closed and his life force has disappeared leaving behind a sad story and a corpse. But what did Roy mean, who was Cruxis? As Roy laid there, something on his wriast would come to life. It's light forced the away the nightshade revealing it's source, the gauntlet that Roy was infamous for wearing a side from carring his now broken Halbred. The light then focused into small blue like beams into a small tiny circle above the gauntlet. Within an instant it exploded filling the room they were in with small tiny bright stars. The entire room's light was taken away and replaced with this blue overlay color, everything was still bright and the group was still visible.


The stars then flashed as they came together creating some sort of figure that most likely only Oni would recognize, Kikyo. There was no noise, nut the starts started to construct a scene, perhaps a memory. Standing before her was Roy, judging from his action it appeared he was arguing with her. They were speaking but something could be heard. Suddenly Morik appeared, and Kikyo turned her back. Morik had then revealed he was part of Cruxis, revealing their markings and symbols from his old attire. Roy's flames appeared around him and the two of them locked combat.

Kikyo seemed to sit back and watch, allowing such a thing to happened. Roy was said to be her closest friend. Another figure appeared and he and Kikyo are seen walking away to some unknown location. Roy and Morik are seen now crashing through the throne before the massive window behind it. All the way down, the two fought til they diappeared into the darkness.Zooming it now, it revealed Roy having a rough landing on a large rock, barely avoiding his back being broken. Upon landing it was seen that Roy had lost the battle. Morik was now standing over the young fire demon kicking Roy's side in and screaming something.

The kicking finally stopped as Morik learned over the boy before cutting his own hand off and spraying him with nightshade. Within seconds, Roy was completely covered in it. Morik's hand was beginning to grow back as he said his goodbyes to the 'marked for death" Roy. After that, he left Roy to die. After a few moments, Roy struggled to pick himself up while activating his gauntlet, which revealing it transferring a grand amount of energy into Roy while supplying the light that was attempt to fight Morik's nightshade.

Suddenly a blue light launched from the guantlet creating a path which roy followed. That path lead him to their current location. Upon traveling, it was must been incredibly diffciult to stay alive in his condition. This alone, was Roy's last display of strength and loyality to Hell. The show ended with the starts imploding in on one another while returning the normal lighting to their surroundings. The gauntlet then fell to pieces.

❄XXXSabriel MegalithXXX❄

A lump rose in Sabriel's throat as Oni pulled her back from the living corpse before she could touch it while explaining to her - or was he explaining to the group as a whole? - the properties of the nightshade oil.
It didn't occur to her to object to being treated like a rag doll as she was passed between the King of Hell and her close friend.
All she'd wanted to do was try and help the dying man.

Standing rooted to the spot as she watched Kira approach Roy's body, she bit the inside of her lip.
It wasn't the first time she'd watched someone die and it wasn't going to be the last.
In her line of work there was always going to be people she couldn't save.
A little voice rose up to remind her that as an assassin and a future Queen, there was also people who would have to die, or already had died at her hand even though she did her best to try and avoid the task.

Unfortunately there was nothing that she could do for a dead body.
However, words praising him for his efforts could definitely be said.
"Ó laoch láidir, ná eagla an bháis glacadh. Ní bheidh muid dearmad ort, ná ní bheidh muid in iúl do rith, a bheith i vain. Mar a théann tú, agus beir leat an t-eolas, go bhfeice mbeidh a bhí. An chuid eile éasca laoch OH láidir. An chuid eile éasca agus dul i síocháin."
As she spoke, she formed a bouquet of red poppies and white sweet peas to rest against Roy's chest.
In the language of flowers, poppies stood for eternal sleep while sweet peas stood for goodbye.
Even though she never knew the man, it seemed like a fitting tribute.
Knowing that most of the group would struggle to understand what she'd said, she repeated herself for their benefit:
"Oh strong warrior, do not fear the embrace of death. We shall not forget you, nor shall we let your passing be in vain. As you go, take with you the knowledge, that vengeance will be had. Rest easy oh strong warrior. Rest easy and go in peace."

Turning away she pulled out her mirror again.
Kora now needed to be contacted immediately of what was happening.
Here wasn't the place to do it though.
Moving a little way off from the group, she breathed on to the glass surface of the mirror and etched Kora's name into the fog.
Now all she had to do was hope that wherever the blonde sorceress was and whatever she was doing, she'd have the mirror close by.
