Welcome to Gaia! ::

{Bobbi .:. Hawaii .:. Clearing}

Bobbi nearly jumped out of her skin when someone in another Ranger uniform practically popped out of nowhere right next to her. The stranger spoke a single word before rocketing off again, and she grinned, easily recognizing his voice.

"Hi Kyle!" she called joyfully after him, but he was already out of earshot. She caught his relayed message, and images, but didn't worry about them for now. She'd shoot whatever she needed to, and not only were her arrows not enough to take down those ships, they were way out of her range anyway. The volcano, now, that could be a problem, but like the ships she couldn't do anything about it. So instead, she just continued picking off Heartless and Tengu as they got too close, and firing at Terra whenever she could.

She chuckled a bit at Seymour's puzzlement of her -- and everyone else's -- little eccentrics.

"I meant 'how long until that Reflect spell wears off?'" she answered him. She fired off a few more shots before responding to his other statement, though she continued shooting as she spoke. "We kinda have to be weird where we come from. It's either that or fret ourselves to death. Earth isn't exactly a paradise--hi, Dawn!" She'd recognized her friends' weapons immediately, despite having seen them only once before.

"You two had better take care of yourselves or I will never forgive you," echoed in her mind right as the humanoid attackers vanished, and the Archer recognized the voice immediately as Michelle's.

"Hi Michelle!" she sent back, and one could quite easily picture the "8D" emote stuck on the end of it, as if she were speaking through Skype and not the charms. Despite her cheer at knowing the friends she had left behind when she went to Disney Castle were safe (she even giggled at Dawn), she started cursing quite vehemently under her breath at the disappearance of the most dangerous of their foes.

This wasn't over yet.

"I don't think any of us know how to turn our Summons into Zords, kiddo," the Archer responded to Dani. She released Taulmaril, dropping out of her Ranger suit, and went over to the younger girl. Thanks to Kyle-with-Ultima's lights, she had seen the blood on the girl's hand, and besides that had heard the suppressed pain in her voice. "Hold still," Bobbi ordered, one hand on Dani's shoulder as she walked behind the girl. With her other hand, she held it over the gash in Dani's back, not touching it but close, and formed a patch of Frost Balm over the wound.

"That should help numb it," she said, shaking her hand a little. It tingled after the magic. This was the first time she'd used it on someone else, and she wasn't used to the sensation of non-offensive magic passing through her hands.

[Azrael: Hawaii: Sky]

The replica forced the Wyvern to skid to a halt as lights started to appear in the clearing, avoiding going into the light as best as possible and staring from the shadows of the night.

...So it hasn't started quite yet, then. They're just picking off heartless, it seems. So what was the point of coming out here?

Azrael and his unversed glided in the air hiding unseen in the darkness of the night, watching the earthlings. It was interesting, watching them. Including one that was essentially himself. But he wouldn't do anything but watch, till now. Considering, of course, that it'd be twenty-something against one and a few measly heartless. Well, two if you included Bal-Hur, three for Noku as well.

Not good odds at all.

{Bobbi .:. Hawaii .:. Clearing}

"They're friends of ours," Bobbi explained, checking her work on Dani's back. "Dawn's the one with the fans, Kyle is the dude who jumps too high for his own good, Joe is the one with the staff. And I haven't seen them yet but Noelle has the spear, and Jenny fights with a flute--she's got some awesome spells. There're a few more I don't recognize, at least not by name or weapon. They must be part of the group we just ran into the other day."

She continued inspecting the younger girl's back as she spoke, but the Balm seemed to have covered most of the wound.

"It's long, and deeper than I'd like, but it didn't sever anything important, I don't think," she said about the wound. "I still want you to get a Healing spell on it, but my patch should hold it until then. May help stop the bleeding a bit, too, and hopefully no infections. If we even get infections here..."

She looked up as other-Kyle (they were going to need nicknames for them like James and James did back home) popped out of the ground, mentioning something about the earth protecting their attackers. She just nodded, and stuck by Dani, making sure the Frost Balm didn't melt too much.

Jacob ll Dock > Hawaii Clearing

"Come at me, pipsqueaks." Jacob summoned his daggers and, without knowing it, his ranger suit. Starting from his breastbone out, a black suit enveloped him. As it neared his extremities, the strange material turned into blue gloves and boots, and a blue visor. His mouth looked like a tiger's fearsome maw, completely block, with pearly teeth. With a small shimmer, he had white kneepads and elbowpads. Right at the breastbone was a filled white circle, within a white ring. "Neato." The first four heartless scrabbled along to him, but were quickly dispatched with a flurry of daggers, cleaving them in nice sets of two. The remaining group scattered, with the Soldier almost comically gathering himself up into a charge. Jacob patiently waited and kicked him into the air. The shadows sprang up, thinking it was an opening and were sliced to ribbons with a pirouette. Jacob wished SOMEONE here knew how to dance properly as he daintily caught the soldier...before dropping it brutally on his knee with a crunch.

Several more soldiers warped in, accompanied this time by air soldiers. Jacob spun on the balls of his feet, palming the helmets of the soldier as they dove towards him, spinning around each one, as if this was some sort of game, and he were a god. He flung a shotgun salvo of daggers to each air soldier and chuckled as they attempted to dodge, only to be clipped by one or two, and plummet down to the ground. Jacob easily kept the soldier at a distance by flicking silver wings at them while retreating. With a momentarily jet of speed, he dashed in, chuckling. A clean swipe across the necks of the soldiers made them poof in a cloud of darkness.

"And who says cathartic release is bad?"
"Isn't it?"
"Says the animal inside me."

Jacob recognized Louis and Sayrike (If only from her evident visor) "Miss me, ladies and gents'? I was a little....preoccupied."

[John.:Hawaii:.Clearing]

New faces were really nice.

For the first time in a long time, John understood what it was like to see an old friend. Although he didn't really know most of the people from the other group well, they were definitely a sight for sore eyes. After experiencing everything from Ivan Ooze (a childhood nightmare) to a darkness wielding hot mage baddie... John was emotionally and physically drained. The entire 'soak up damage so others can kick some a**' really took a toll on his soul.

He continued to laxadasically kill the rest of the heartless with the group, taking damage as if the pain meant nothing to him... it was strange... he just didn't care anymore. His life was just so...

Jacob ll Hawaii's Clearing

"Yes Ma'am. Peachy keen! You ok?" Jacob called back to Noelle, chipper as ever, now that he'd blown some steam off. He clasped his hands together briefly to crack his wrists. "Sayrike, Louis 'n I are over here." He called out, waving his arm briefly.

[Elleon ~ Hawaii ~ Lugae's Lab --> Forest around clearing]

Elleon smiled snidely at Nick, jumping down from the desk and opening her own portal. Just as she was about to step in with Artemis the incubating Replicas began to experience difficulties. The blonde looked over her shoulder at Zexion, tracking him with her eyes as he brought everything back under control. Shrugging slightly, she continued on into the portal, followed shortly by Artemis. When she came out the other side she was stepping lightly onto the branches of a tree just along the outskirts of the clearing. She sat down where the base of two branches met, leaning on one comfortably. There was, strangely enough, quite a bit of light in the clearing.

"Hmm . . . what to do . . ." She mused, glancing over at Artemis as the Unversed joined her. They would have to wait and see what was going on, for it seemed that things were dying down for the time being. It would be worth the wait though, because she expected to have a little fun with this one. Her eyes locked on Kyle and Noelle, her fellow earth mages, debating on whether she should bother. She knew she could at least get under Kyle's skin and toy with him a bit.
