Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Good, If they were eaten then thats less of a burden on me and my travel arrangements." Maxi snickers and slowly stands up to stretch, the chair he made flowing seamlessly back into the floor and leaving it un marred. "Oh as for the data, it doesnt contain anything I have created or any of the non-complete plans from my squad, nor does it cover my little caster sidekick." Maxi smiles warmly as he taps the kido caster in his coat. "Got to keep a few trinkets to myself you know, but do enjoy the last version of what killed your predecessor, but I'm not one to use crappy potions and elixirs, nor do I think you would fall for them. Have fun with the data though." Maxi's smile stays as he heads towards the open cells in the back of the second room. "Wake up slackers!" He commands, even though Genji is awake.

"Yes, sir, Maxi-taicho," Genji said readily. "I am ready for your command."

Xeion smiled gently at Rakey-san, seeing the worried look in her eyes for someone other than a fellow Arrancar just as how he himself was genuinely concerned about other people around him be they ally or enemy. This only proved that Rakey-san was a very special Arrancar indeed, one who had strong emotions and a high level of maturity above those who were only one-sided and cared only for their own side and their side only.

"Don't worry, she's fine. She's a strong girl. She took all that pain, yet she's still fighting to live. She's amazing Rakey-san," Xeion praised, "just like you." Turning back to Maxi-taicho's comment, he gave out a playful snicker as he pulled out his hand from Rakey-san's beautiful, ebony hair. "You really think so, Maxi-taicho?" asked Xeion with an innocent tone of voice. "I'm just being my usual self is all, hehehe," snickered Xeion once again.

Turning to Lemo-san, he smiled and bowed ever so politely in front of his other Arrancar friend. "Thank you very much, Lemo-san. We really appreciate the help," he said as Genji-kun, Akira-san, and Torsin-kun came into view, walking out from their respective holding cells. As soon as they came into sight, Xeion waved in greeting for the comrades they had risked their lives to save. "Hey there, guys. I'm sorry if we took so long."

Xeion already felt like the happiest guy there; they had finished their mission objectives, gained some memorable experiences, and met/ made new friends as well. However, it seems as if the day would get better as Kat-chan, whom he had left back at the Menos Forest, came into the room. His already big smile grew even bigger. "Kat-chan!" he greeted with a cheery voice, going in once again to hug his other Arrancar friend. "I'm so glad to see you again! I'm really sorry that we left you in that dark forest without even saying goodbye. I hope you'll forgive us."

Maxi stares blankly at Akira, before nodding to Genji and turning towards the group in the front of the room. "I shall have to take my leave gentlemen, and ladies, for I need to take these kids home. Probably need food or something too, leeches." Maxi says the last part as a sigh and bows slightly to the ladies then to Lemo and Ky before heading to the door. "Xeion do you need a lift back home or can you make it with a few passengers? Same goes for you Ky I have room for a few more people, but dont expect it to be a trip to candy mountain." Maxi smirks at them, standing in the door way and waiting for the group to move out.

Gazing at Maxi with his eyes filled with mischievous intent, he smiled at his rival Captain in the field of the alchemical arts. "You belittle me, Maxi. Do you think that I came here without having an exit strategy? You must take me for a head-strong fool if you think that way," said Ky, looking at the screen as the new events unfolded before him through that piece of technology which hung on the wall. "See, they're done already. With little casualties, too," Ky prided, turning to Lemo. "Don't worry, most of them are still alive. It's just that they may not want to undergo my brand of "electroshock therapy" after what just happened to them, heh."

Closing his eyes, Ky shifted his attention to Xeion who was hugging an Arrancar girl tightly as if he was hugging something worth hugging, and by Ky's standards, a mere Arrancar wasn't enough of a reason for him to hug. Maybe it was jealousy, and maybe not, but Ky had something to say to Xeion as he pulled out his rapier and aimed it at Xeion's neck, pressing against his skin so that he could feel its cold steel poke against it. "Xeion, sagen sie mir die wahrheit. Sie taten nicht, wie ich sage, stimmt dass? sagte ich Ihnen, jene höhlen zu töten, noch stellen sie eine mehrheit jener höhlen, um zu schlafen. Es ist eine ubertretung einer direkten ordnung, Ritter. (Xeion, tell me the truth. You didn't do as I say, did you? I told you to kill those hollows, yet you put a majority of those hollows to sleep. That's a violation of a direct order, Knight.)," spoke Ky in fluent German as his Raven's Mark, 'VII', appeared on his forehead. "Bedeutet das, dass ich sie, wenig Xeion disziplinarisch bestrafen muss? Immerhin muss ich sie noch zurückerstatten, um mich das letzte mal zu schlagen... (Does this mean that I have to discipline you, little Xeion? After all, I still have to pay you back for beating me the last time...)"

Hikari groaned and tried to roll over but was unsuccessful. Everything was coming to her attention increasingly slower. She was tired.
When was the last time I slept? she wondered groggily. How many days ago? I got knocked out a lot but I never really slept.
Hikari was aware that someone had begun healing her and then had carried her to somewhere else but the drug that had been suffused with that aweful lab had begun to overpower her.
"Where am I?" she whispered and she tried to lift her head but she was paralyzed. "I'm so...tired."
Panic flitted through her as she registered her paralysis but it was impotent, watered down by exhaustion.
"What's going on?" she whispered. Hikari could hear the low mutterings of others nearby but they made little sense through the haze. The Presence was silent.
She suddenly became aware of the paper gown she wore. Like fire, red spread across her face, It was like a miracle that she could even blush in her condition.
"Where are my clothes?" she asked with a little more volume and panic. "And my zanpakutou?!"
(Her stuff should be here. That's what Hawk said. Mind finding them? Lol.)

Hikari turned her head slowly, it hurt and her stomach rolled. It finally seemed as if the paralysis was receding. Her already white face took in the sight of the captain with surprise.
So they actually are making us prisoners a bit of a priority, she gasped mentally. She waited for a reply but her head felt unnaturally silent.
Hikari coughed to clear her throat and hopefully get the captain's attention. She didn't think she had enough energy to speak to him across the room.
"With all due respect, sir, I don't think I can fight," she said as loudly as she could. "But I won't leave without my things."

It's gonna take forever to thaw out, Hikari thought groggily.
She began the long task of returning mobility to her limbs but she knew that there would not be enough time for her. That thought only made her work harder which was not a logical reaction. She was dangerously close to falling asleep.
All of this Hikari realized through a thick curtain of exhaustion. And her eyes were already closing.
No, she thought sleepily. At that same moment her fingers began to move, curling in slowly on themselves.
