Welcome to Gaia! ::

Felina climbed down the ladder straight after Oassu almost slipping as she reached the bottom "Cid won't be having babies anytime soon. Theres no lady rabbits around not that he would be interested in them" she chirped stepping down.

Hayate snickered following Alpha down through the trap door "It's not Mari's imagination, just your inability to see it" he disagreed with Seph. "The point is rabbits have a reputation for producing large numbers of offspring, cactuars also have a lot of children"

Satoshi nodded at Zadina as she held the ladder still, the task became much harder once more people had jumped on "You've got to be careful of how much chakra you use in a day" she called down to him.

Seph laughed patting Mari on the head as she slid off the ladder "Leave Mari alone. You're making her all embarrassed." She waited at the bottom for Itaka so that she could take Sophia from him.

Hebal looked up at Zadina quickly turning her frown into a smile "Don't worry about it too much. Feel free to ask if there is anything you want to know about viera" she walked over to the door in front of them. "The password is tomato" she shouted.

Alpha raised his eyebrow as the door remained tightly shut "Tomato.... doesn't sound like a particulaly good password, you sure its right?" he jumped down from the ladder "The password is password?" he attempted to guess.

Hebal blushed trying to think of the password "I know it's a fruit. The password is apple?... orange?.... cherry?... mango?... Banana?" she muttered going through different fruits her mind. A loud click could be heared from the door as she mentioned banana "I told you it was a fruit"

Itaka grinned passing Sophia to Seph "I'm just teasing her a little, no harm no foul" he said patting Mari on the shoulder "Sorry Mari don't take it to seriously." he said happily before walking through the door. "Maybe Neliel likes bananas though to be fair it might not be that good"

Oassu nodded "I guess your right, for now but Itaka has a point, bananas could come up in just conversation if thieves are talking about it on the way to the door." he shrugged.

Mari flicked her hair out of her face and sighed huffishly "I guess they don't just understand" she sighed before passing through the door.

Zadina nodded "Thank you miss Hebal I'll bear that in mind" he said happily. "Though are we close to her? It's scary in there" he said looking into the dark corridor"

Itaka turned his sword into a firebrand lighting up the area a little "Come on Kid it's not that bad," he called back to him and Zadina scurried on through the door.

Felina let out a sigh of relief as the room lit up. She raised her head upon hearing Alex being mentioned "Do you think that means Alex and Neliel are working together?" she whispered to Oassu as she covered Cid's mouth with his paw to stop him making a squeak.

Satoshi scratched her head taling out a kunai debating whether or not to throw it at the fiend. "This place could be really scary if we were to encounter one of those in complete darkness" she told Zadina putting away her kunai.

Hayate watched the giant tonberry as it disappeared down another path going to the left "Are there many of those on this floor or is there just the one, also if the other person still aroud?" he asked Hebal.

Hebal waited another minute after the giant fiend had left before speaking again "We should be able to talk normally now. There could be one or two if Neliel has tightened up security but we can get straight to her if we are stealthy." She scratched her head thinking over Hayate's question "I don't know. He just disappeared off the map but he may just be hiding his presence."

Alpha snickered patting Sophia on the head "Nah shes just a regular tonberry. she won't grow any bigger than the first lot we encountered. The ones here are part of the king species" he reassured the group.

Seph nodded giving Sophia a tight hug "No need to worry Itaka, she is only going to be a little lady like me" she smiled loosening her grip on Sophia. "Calm down Zadina we are fine. You'll know is theres another one around if there is a light at the end of the tunnel"

Oassu giggled bending down "Hello little guy, you trying to talk to us now?" he said tickling Cid.

Mari squealed silently before going over to see Cid "AWWWW thats such a cute little noise your making Cid" she said petting him "I didn't think Rabbits made any noise"

Oassu smiled "Cid isn't an ordinary rabbit." he said simply.

Zadina looked at the lantern light in the distance "Thats kinda foreboding....lets move on....quickly" he uttered quickening his step.

Sophia blinked confused at the sudden hug before opening her mouth and reaching for Seph's breasts, Itaka swiftly plucked her out of Seph's arms and used her bottle to feed her "Woah there little girl" he chuckled "I don't think you should be trying that with Seph" he laughed.

Felina laughed "Sophia is just being friendly. Besides you don't know what your milk tastes like so don't put yourself down" she told Seph. She jumped back quickly placing Cid in her bag as Neliel appeared before them. "This doesn't look too good" she whispered to Oassu.

"You're map mustn't be working at it's best to not notice where Neliel moved to" Hayate commented then raised his eyebrow at Naliel "Isn't it a little cowardly to set your pet on somebody rather than take them out yourself. Usually that shows weakness"

Satoshi stepped forward ignoring the tonberry standing to her side "If you tell Bob to kill us, then that will leave you with one less pet. Fred and Princess were easy enough to take out" she smirked placing her hand in her back pocket and geabbing hold oh a shuriken.

Alpha grabbed hold of Satoshi's arm pulling it out of her pocket "Not now. May I remind you we aren't here to pick a fight. We are trying to complete a mission" he whispered to her wagging his finger. "You don't want to go joining Alex" he added to Neliel.

Seph nodded "We are here to retrieve a book. We have no interest in killing you or your tonberry" she confirmed taking a step forward and placed her hand on the hilt of her sword. "All we want from you is to show us where to find it."

Neliel stood up straight and slowly walked towards Hebal "Now why do you even bother asking when you're friend here knows why I can't cooperate. Long time no see Hebal" she added with a smirk.

Hebal backed away from Neliel gripping her spear "It has been a while. And I am sure that a coward like you could run away if you got into too much trouble from your boss" she answered coldly.

Neliel ignored the viera as she examined the rest of the group "Don't you tell me what I can and cannot do. I have a lot of choices; I could tell you to shove off and possibly be killed by you. Secondly I could do as you say and either be killed by you afterwards or be killed by my organisation for working with the forces of light. On the other hand I could kill you or join Alex to stay alive" she explained.
