Welcome to Gaia! ::

Eve quietly muttered under her breath. " Here goes everything. Please let this work!" The arrow shot straight out at Hitomi and hit a few inches shy of her heart.Hitomi's eyes went wide as she felt her heart start to beat rapidly before slowing down to an almost faint heartbeat.She staggered and fell to her knees as her eyes started to close.The last thing that she heard was Eve's soothing voice. " Wake up and dig my princess.Wake up and dig.Your life depends on it!"
With those departing words, Hitomi slumped over, unconcious and barly breathing at all. A gun blast went off and Eve smiled.It worked! she had tricked the system. She quickly dug a grave and buried Hitomi's still form and made sure that there was enough air to last her till she woke up that night.Then, Eve picked up her cloak and vanahed into the shadows of the day.Ketsueki appeared on top of the grave and had assumed the apperance of a grim and stood guard.It would soon be nightfall.

Eve reapeared after dark along to two others. One of them was sporting a gun that was pointed at Hitomi before Eve pushed his hand down.
She then walked quickly forward and stuck out her gloved hand to Hitomi. " Welcome aboard the team........nightshade."
Eve then took off her cloak and placed it into Hitomi's arms.
"Use it to your advantage. There are powers beyond that piece of fabric that you can use to your advantage."
As soon as Hitomi put it on, the tattered black cloth came to life. Eve smiled and Scarlet's image burned it's self into Hitomi's mind. She gasped and sank to her knees.

I continue to build up the tower. It was hidden against a small cliff. I needed to reach the top before another Arena change. I keep building, as does Jurdean. We keep doing it, more and more. Attack after attack, we use our unified powers and bring them down. "Dammit! Jurdean, get that sniper!" Jurdean whirls and sends a spike of green into the area. I hear a gurgle, scream, and thud as he dies. I start climbing the tower, reaching the top. I grab my Antilaw and throw it up into the air. It shatters into nothing, and suddenly I feel the air of the Arena change. Death no longer stood on the air. Jurdean does the same, and soon everything changes. I hold up the scroll, and it magnifies into the sky. "Yes! Go Gaband!" I yell out. Then, with my face magnified to the air for all the Rebels to see, I say exactly what Gaband told me to.

"Dear friends, dear allies. I want us to quit this. Quit your fighting! Lay your hand, quit your planning of killing another. What can she do? Kill us? Would you rather die standing strong, or fighting someone to participate in this game? I am no contestant, at least, I was not chosen by no one. I was sent here to stop this! Judgemaster Gaband sent me, him and Sara. They gave the crown to Yuki, but....... they have changed...... Its hard to explain, just quit the fighting! Please...... this meaningless bloodshed is nothing." I raise my two fingers and put them on my heart. "Please."

Slowly they rise seeing how confused Eve was at the actions they just performed, she listened close to what Mirage had said but didnt want to just say it out causing more confusion,"Forgive me Eve its just now for the things your doing for us and the great goal to ending it all is just so strong that....we will do our best to fight by your side and bring down my sister....even if it comes to the final decision." Hitomi nods and looks to the others who were agreeing to her statement, it was now time to figure out how to get out of this together without others being killed unless it was nessicary. "However though if there are the few who are so into this awful game then thats when defense will be needed and anyone who tries to harm you we wont let it happen."
______________________________________________________

To Yuki it was too quiet for no fights being seen, she just tunes in to the games and doesnt see much till someone caught her eye and she was angry,"Its that troublemaker from the beginning....what is he planning? better not be what I'm sensing or theres going to be trouble." She looks around but doesnt see Kurai nearby since this was the time he usually would give her his opinion but this time he wasnt near. Yuki looks on at Azelus in anger but curious of what he was doing and wanted to get rid of him since he sensed him as a threat.

I can't post..... an hours long of screencast, the perfect quality, 50 fps..... gone, all gone..... OH GOD! Damn you crashing demons! I HATE YOU ENCODING! I am going to go cry now....

Eve slowly began to wake up and opened her eyes.She screamed when she saw a pair of violet eyes staring back at her face to face. Drako Rose yelped and fell backwords in shock. He was not expecting to get screamed at right in his face. He grumbled as he picked himself off the dirt ground and took a quick look to see where his small crown and mask rolled off to.
"Jesus Christ! Can a guy ever keep his hearing around here?Too many girls in this stupid quell." Eve over heard Drako mumble as he finally found the crown and put back on top his head. When she looked at it, it didn't look like a crown at all but a headband of jewels that had real fire in them that continued to leap on the inside. He then knelt closly and answered the questions that he Knew Eve had on her mind.
While Drako was telling Eve some of the storys, the other members were keeping watch. It was a good thing that is was nighttime because then it was easy for Drako to slip in and out without anybody knowesting that he was even there.
"Drako, what are all these dreams and visions mean? I keep seeing you and then your holding me and that is the last thing that keeps replaying its self in my head.Why?" Eve choked as she was helped up by Drako.He sighed and put his head down in defeat. " A long time ago, you weren't even born yet. Scarlet and I ended up dukeing it out with Sara's Minions. Sara had promised not to invade our lands and dimentions but she lied to us. She attacked my realm first. Pergatory..........after that.........Scarlet had had the last straw with her and declared war on Sara and her followers. It ended in disater. She was trying to protect me and I didn't see it coming." At that, Drako stopped talking and put his mask back on.When he turned around, only his eyes were showing through the mask but Eve could tell that he was quietly crying . She looked down." I'm sorry your highness for you loss.If there is anything that I can do to help ease your burdan, let me know." Drako looked down to his gloved hand and pulled off the black glove.It reveiled a wedding band that had a blue flame in the gem. It also reveiled the crest of both Scarlet and the Netherworld." Use this when the time is right. It will tell you the intire story but only when the time is right." He then stood up and almost ran right into Hitomi. " Jesus!Like I said! Too many girls!" Drako remarked wounded. But, he made a slight bow in Eve and Hitomi's Direction. " If you need anything, I will find a way to get it to you." With that Drako dissapeared into the darkness and then tere was a brillent flash of gold.

I smile as Captain Longsword hits me again. He brings his fist down into my back as he circles me. "Tell me!" he yells out. I keep sitting there, my will would not be bent any time soon. It was pure luck I was here anyway....

After I had been done with defying the new ruler, I had smiled out triumphant.....

"Oh yeah, see how good that is?" Jurdean pumps his fist in the air. I bump his tiny fist and we grab our things. Then we turn to see a battalion of soldiers. They had there guns pointed at me. I gulp, and Jurdean has his fists raised, the pebbles on the ground were slightly raising. They smile and open fire. He stops the majority of bullets, and I shield us from as many as I could. But ultimately, we are hit several times. I hit the ground, my scarf squirms before becoming still, and I gulp for breath. They drag me off, and then I black out......

I wake some time later. Sara sits there, along with Gaband. I smile and they smile back, then I get a mace into the back. I yelp out. In front of me was one of the Alliance leaders. His expression was fury. "I am Captain Longsword. You, are no longer Azelus." I smile and then it hits me. I- I could not remember my name. "Hmmmmm..... I see you believe me. Where did you live growing up?" I shrug my shoulders, no idea. His frown dissipates. "Good. Now, you had a little imp fried. Who is he?" I say his name, Jurdean. That I remembered. "Good, that angel was right. Sara, Gaband, you two will be next. Good luck trying to remember." I look over to Gaband, and he shrugs. An angel comes in, her eyes were glazed over with white, and in her hand was a small sword. She brings it to Gaband's eye level, and shoves it in. Sara squirms, and then she sits still. Gaband goes limp. When he next opens his eyes, he had the same expression as the angel.

"You are no longer Judgemaster Gaband. You are no longer immortal. You are Major Johnson of the Human Alliance Forces. Please, stand." Longsword removes his bonds, and Johnson stands. Or was he Gaband? I could not remember anymore.... "No one knows you exist as Gaband. No one will ever know. Your old life is gone. I know this for certain. Look, at the previous ruler of the Universe..." The angel sweeps her hand to Sara. Her face was tilted slightly. She could not honestly remember who she was in love with. Wait, were they? Johnson bows low, and I watch him give orders to keep up the good work to Captain Longsword. Longsword solutes him and Johnson leaves. The angel turns to Sara, and does the same thing. "You are no longer Sara, you are now Janet Minnow. Lieutenant of the Deifics Against Universal Rule. A part of the Alliance. Good day...." Lieutenant Minnow makes her leave. I watch as the angel turns to me, bows and leaves. I grimace a bit as a pain erupts in my head. Captain Longsword stands in front of me.

"So..... Mark VIII. You are contracted out by us. You do work for us, since we pay you. Does that sound good enough?" I nod slightly, and he smiles. Then he releases me, and I follow him down to where several soldiers were waiting. They solute him, and he tells them to follow me into a high danger zone.....

There, I forget what exactly happens. The mission afterwards, or even when I met up with Jurdean. But..... I did know that I did something wrong. Because Captain Longsword was interrogating me with force. I look up to him, still smiling. "I, just do not know." He brings his hand back down. I spit out blood, and look back up to him. He shakes his head, and leaves. Jurdean was chained up from the roof, he could not keep his eyes open how badly he had been beat. "So.... when did we go about doing something against the rules?" He smiles and then tries to speak.

"Well, I can remember when we first met. It was in the Arena, after we were told to go against Her Royal Majesty Khilack. Remember that?" I nod and smiles up. "You sucked at magic, you know that?" Suddenly he falls silent as a portal opens. Out steps a man dressed in all black. He unchains Jurdean, and then unbonds me. "And, who are you?" The man shakes Jurdean's hand, and then looks out the door for security reasons.

"Who I am is not important," the man says. He shakes his eared head, and then he looks over to us. "Azelus, you..." I hold up a hand. "I know- but that angel's magic can not fool me. I am the inventor of the technique. Look, I know you remember who you are. I am certain of it, unless..." He sighs. "Unless she did do my technique. Hmph. Okay, look, no one is going to know you from Adam. In fact, I am sure those who actually knew you have long forgotten you. Come, I have things to show you." He opens a portal, and shoves us out of it. There waiting for us is a vampire, his katana was ready to be swung out, until he sees his companion. He nods and opens the door. Outside, there was a civil war going on. I watch them fighting. I hit the ground, and cry out in pain. There was a huge sharp pain hitting my brain. He closes the door, and I stumble to my feet.

"He is week, master," the vampire says. "Look at him. Your technique has been perfected by Milly-San." The vampire says in a thick Japanese accent. "Look, even now, he can not get to his feet." The eared one grabs me by my collar and reels me up. I stand with a hand to my head.

"You need to learn how to compensate for the gaps in your head. You know what is going on as Azelus, not Mark VIII Young one, take him out to see the state of the Universe. Show him what is going on, what the Alliance is not comprehending, and what Yuki is forgetting. What all of them seem to not see."

"Yes, master...." The vampire grabs me and takes me out. Several hours later, and one hell of a headache, he throws me to the ground. Jurdean stands healed, and I wait to see what happens. The vampire comes over to me,. and kneels with a box held out in his hands. I pick up the box, and grab what is in it. In it was nothing. Absolute nothing. I tilt my head.

"Just.... hold still." The eared one says. I do as he says, and I feel a tingling. I open my eyes after the intense tingling, and I look in the mirror he was holding. I my breath catches the same time Jurdean's does. I looked...... like I did back when I was eighteen, which looked sixteen by human standards. I touch the hair that I had back then as well. "Whoa." The eared one says. "I am damn good at Alchemy. Well, you look good. You are at that age yet again, except with the knowledge of a lifetime. You are not Azelus, though you should remember him, and you are not Mark VIII. No, you are simply Randell Maxus. A slight alteration to your old name. For obvious reasons. Anyway. I hope you enjoy the fact that you can start a new life. Something very few ever get to do. It seems that what I was set out to do is done. Alot has happened to you, but now, go to Yuki, and make her see what is going on. End the Quell, and do not worry about prophecies, or anything. The Universe will become balanced once again on its own. You need not worry yourself. Those who need worry, let them do that." Then he vanishes. As does the vampire. I sit to try and sort out all that has happened.
