Welcome to Gaia! ::

Liza heard a howl in the distance but didn't nothing about it till Bear howled back. His was a puppy dog howl, nothing like the one that he was responding to, "Bear quiet. If I'm to teach you how to be stealthy you can't be howling at everything." The dog stopped and sat down, tail wagging, tongue out. He was still so young at the age of 6 months, but he knew to never leave his master's side without permission.

Liza looked back to the forest, waiting on the people. She would toy with them for a while, get them riled up and then she'd strike. Taking most of the mutants hostage and torturing them till they broke and lashed out, then she'd video-tape them lashing out and hurting people and she'd have her revenge by killing all those slimy mutants.

"Mph!" Kino was now sent rolling across the ground of the maze floor.

"That's enough Bob." A young women would say to her giant muscled partner, but not loud enough for Kino to hear. "Orders are bring him in alive for analysis." The bulky large man would now walk towards Kino, causing the ground to shake lightly with each step. "What I don't get is why Thor didn't finish him off." Bob would ask in a curious tone, finally reaching in front of Kino. "No one knows what that man is thinking." The young women would say in an amused tone. "Still moving?" She'd now look at Kino who'd struggled to get up, remaining on his knees with his hands trying to push himself off the ground. "I'm surprised you're able to get up after the amount of gravity I'm using to hold you down and..." She looked towards Bob before continuing. "and taking one mean punch from Bob." Lifting her hand to point towards Kino, and Bob who'd already motioned one more punch downwards towards Kino, the pair attempted to disable him only to both miss their target.

Leaping backwards in the nick of time, Kino stumbled due to his rushed actions, but quickly took back his composure to dash into a random and opposite direction from the two who'd prematurely attacked him.

"What a hassle..." The two would say in unison. The female continuing in an annoyed tone. "The main threats are focused elsewhere, we should hurry if we're going to catch him." Closing her eyes, and lifting her hand once more, she'd add. "I can't hold someone with both strength and speed for too long, find him before he reaches anyone else."

Only a few seconds after Kino had ran did he fall back down, being weighed down. "Too heavy." He'd whisper to himself in an exhausted tone while crawling the opposite direction he'd heard the quaking footsteps, eventually until he'd been far enough that he'd no longer heard them. "Was this..." Kino winced to the pain in his shoulder from an impact earlier before continuing. "part of the teachers maze event?"

Celeste began to release how dead the place was. "I wonder where everyone's at...". She looked around for a moment then remembered seeing people in the maze. "They couldn't ALL be in there? Could they?" she thought. Holding her dress closed she flew up and over the maze once more. Seeing Nairi Celeste flew down to him. "Do you know whats going on?" she asked. "I could of sworn I heard a scream but I'm not sure, the sound of the fountain was covering everything up.".

The girl entered the school, not impressed by the foyer. She was kinda of used to flash, expensive stuff like this. What she was surprised by was the was NO ONE around. No hall montiors. No students cutting class or shuffling off to their next one. No students spending free time outside. No teachers or administration members waiting to welcome her or at least tell her to get her lazy butt to class. The school was dead.

She stood still, eyebrows furrowed in confusion, but she shrugged it off. The girl started for the stairs, knowing her room was number 9 on the second floor. She slowly made her way to the room. She entered number 9, and set her stuff on the floor. She had no roommate, but that was fine with her. Not that she'd be lonely anyways.

"Is this where we living now?"

Speak of the devil. The girl turned, and saw a familiar creature on her bed standing on her bed, sniffing the air.

"It smells weird. Like stale flowers."

"I hate it. It's too bright and cheery. I miss the dark shadows of Hell," complained a male voice in her head.

"Shut it, Moloch! We've got no where else to go were I can live peacefully. And Pan, it'll smell like home in no time. I get some Miss Fields chocolate chip cookies somehow and it'll smell like my bedroom in no time," the girl said, grinning at the small animal.

Pan let out a small yeep in happiness, and jumped up into a backflip.

The girl smiled.

Moloch huffed. "Act like a demon for once, stupid," he told his servant through the girl's mouth.

Liza looked around the forest, she'd been living here a while so the howls didn't scare her, but that didn't stop her from jumping a bit when Bear howled, "BEAR!" She popped the little puppy on his tush and he went silent again.

Kat heard the howling outside the door and all she could think of was Luke, mum are you here? I hear howling.

Luna was touching the wall and couldn't morph to make it so she could slip out. Frustrated she pounded it, "Cole!!!" After a few minutes of pounding till her hands were bloody she fell to her knees, tears rolling down her face, "Cole... Where are you?" The last part was quiet and more to herself than anything else.

Pandora set off down the hedge after the guy, she couldn't go as fast as him and soon lost track of him, causing her to get scared. She felt something behind her and she spun, eyes closed, pounding on what ever it was that was touching her.

Lucas held Pandora's hands and then held her close, "It's Lucas, don't worry." Looking around he yelled out, "Cole!?" He'd heard her in the hedge and when he investigated he didn't like what he saw. Pulling her back out of the hedge he sat her down on the fountain edge, "Calm down Pandora."

Lisa caught up to Luke, "Kat says she hears howling. Could we be close?"

((Just an FYI her scream would have sent a shock wave and shattered windows in the school.))

Running down the halls as fast as he could he though to himself"ill get in trouble later,i shouldnt have left pandora but if somthing is realy happening she closest to the exit so she'll be fine....i hope."Dead sprinting thru the maze s fast as he could he trips over something that looked sandy white and ends up hitting the floor face first,sitting up in a daze he tries to see who or what it was but his eyes are so unfocused now he could barley tell thier outline"

Something is so wrong about this. Mae was deeply perturbed now. The scream, the tunnel, and now the eerie silence. Oh, hang the 'no powers' thing, this is getting serious. I really should find Kino.. Launching herself into the air with her vectors, Mae searched the area, as long as she could keep herself in the air. After thirty minutes of fruitless results, she faced eastward and threw herself higher. This worked. Spotting Kino in a corner of the maze, she jumped/flew in his direction, landing with a large thump nearby. Jogging around a few bends, Mae saw Kino, apparently hurt, and ran over. A couple of twigs were stuck in her hair, but she wasn't injured. "What.. happened to you?" Mae stopped to catch her breath, looking worse than she was feeling. "What was that scream? What is this?"

((To xXGrey_MoonfangXx, the male that Pan is apporaching is supposed to be Xavier. Just clearifying.))

While Niiro 'delightfully' put her clothes away, arguing with Moloch about how it was her room and she could put up any 'disgustingly cute' picture she wanted, whether he liked it or not. Pan jumped off the bed, opened the door, and stood outside the hallway, peering left and right, up and down the hall. He sniffed.

"Pan? What are you doing? Why is my door open?" Niiro asked, confused.

"Because you need more friends."

"What! Pan, no! I'm happy with you two, and Suodon's starting to accept me-"

"Accept a pitiful creature like you? Please. This Suodon...my stead...a lord among shadow stallions," Moloch told the girl indignantly.

"So why would I need anyone else?" she finished, ignoring the demon, who huffed in annoyance. He liked it better when she was speechless in anger. It was funny.

"You need some human friends. You need to socialize more. And I'm going to get you some!" Pan glowed brightly for a second, as he willed himself to become visible to all humans. He quickly ran towards the stairs, smelling a human who was just walking through the front doors.

"You should stop him," sighed Moloch. "Imgaine how much trouble he could cause."

"Oh, he couldn't....possibly....maybe....cause THAT much...oh god!" Niiro's eyes widen as she imgained a horde of humans chasing poor Pan, and leading them straight to her! "I've gotta stop him!" The girl jumped up and ran out into the hallway. "Where'd he go?"

"I don't care. Why you asking me?"

"Because if you don't help me, I swear to god, I will watch every episode of Barney ever made."

Moloch's spirital form glared at Niiro. "You wouldn't."

"Try me," she grinned at the demon.

"He's in the foyer. I think there's a human in there with him."

"Let's go!" Niiro said, taking off towards the foyer.

Meanwhile, Pan was already in the foyer, and staring at a human male with black hair. Pan let his ears and tail droop, picking up his front paw. As an added touch, he willed a collar around his neck that said "If found, Please contact Niiro Cochiti at 589-784-7499." He started to limp towards the male, whimpering pathetically.

"Human males always like cute things, and are soft hearted when dealing with injured animals. Or was that females? I can't remember. Oh well, too late to go back. Hopefully this will work," he thought to himself as he apporached the male.
