Welcome to Gaia! ::

"NOOOOOOO!!!!" Vivi exclaimed, her soft voice suddenly booming and resonant, yet at the same time had a strange but melodic lilt to it. The sound echoed as it reached the hair-petal and hair-harpie creature, which it nullified upon touch. The petal fell to the ground and the harpie dissolved into nothing more than a writhing mass of hair. "You mustn't hurt these people... They're my wonderful victims to stalk..." Vivi said, her voice back to normal now. "Er, I mean, my great role models, of course.... Oh, never mind..." she mumbled.

((Thanks for the welcome! ^o^))

Unable to react in time, all Sol could manage was to use his forearms as last resort for defence. Closing his eyes, the mage waited for the worst to come. "Is this the end?"

"Guns Magic: Wind Cannon!"
Out of nowhere came a blast of air that sent Sol flying out of harm's way. However, Sol had unfortunately hit the back of his head against a pillar as he was being pushed back by the immense force of the magical attack that had caught him off guard. "Whoops," Starrk thought, "But it does make things easier." Although he did vow to avenge Lisette, Starrk had decided that it would be best to retreat and get scolded by his master than to let his guild members be killed. "There's a monster amongst one of them...who could have possibly defeated Lisette, our team's strongest?!" Rushing towards the unconscious Sol with Lisette hanging on his right shoulder, Starrk drew a gun and apologized for his interruption to the Fairy Tail mage before pointing the weapon at him. "Sorry about this but...Guns Magic: Sunlight Shot!"
What happened afterwards was an explosion of a blinding flash of light that engulfed the room, and the Guilty Hearts mages had disappeared without a trace.

Meanwhile in the library, Hazama was walking in circles, trying to make a conclusion as to why Hira and Marx wasn't there. "Odd..." he thought. Laziness took over his body and it caused him to find a comfortable seat to wait patiently for the others to find him.

"Not only that Hira, they join because they want to experience of a life time. They want to live and have fun. They always want to get stronger to guard something precious to them," he said as he then pointed his staff at the table. His staff glowed and then a screen that had Shinigami and Hazama came up.

"Ah, your comrades did the job very well," he said to Hira. He then went to the wall they entered through and tapped it with his staff, opening it with his magic.

"Ladies first," he said with a gesture for her to get out first like a polite gentleman

Nathan stood in silence as the white haired girl prattled on about being lonely and what-not, which made him angry though it couldn't be seen on his face. Before Nathan got a chance to respond to the girl's complaints, however, she launched an attack which stuck both himself and Evalina in some sort of giant blob of an unknown substance. Grateful that we die together? he repeated to himself. Does this girl know who she's dealing with? Fairy Tail mages don't go down so easily! he exclaimed in his thoughts as he coughed and multiple bubbles of precious oxygen escaped from his lungs. He fumbled for his jacket pocket and pulled out the first Spirit Orb he laid his fingers on. Saying the summoning words in his head, the orb began to shine and a brilliant, 6 meter long Cobra appeared outside of the blob. It gave the enemy girl a warning hiss and proceeded to coil its tail around Nathan and its head around a pole, pulling its master free of the mysterious goo that made up the blob. Nathan coughed and spluttered as he sat on the floor of the train, trying to catch his breath while the Cobra did the same for Evalina, freeing her from the blob as well. Nathan looked up at the silver-haired girl, his own silver hair drenched and hanging in his face, almost completely covering his eyes. "You know.." he started, almost breathless. "If you.. want what we have so badly... Why don't you just join a Guild like ours?" he suggested, wiping his mouth. "If you want acceptance and to have trustworthy nakama, then.. why would you join a Dark Guild? That's just idiotic, if you ask me..." he finished, a toothy, half-grin present on his face as he looks up at the girl with his deep, red eyes.

The last thing Rein remembered was the look on Theodore's face as he walked away. It seemed to be a look of regret. But if it was.. why'd he do what he did in the first place? Maybe he was forced into it.. blackmailed, maybe? Even though she was asleep, these thoughts still travelled through her mind faster than anything had before. After about 15 minutes, Rein started to regain consciousness. Her vision was still a little blurry as she slowly sat up and rubbed her eyes. She sat for maybe another 2 minutes, trying to process what had just happened and one word repeated itself in her mind. Why? She made an effort to stand, still a little shaken, and glanced over to the now stationary train. There appeared to still be people inside. And behind her was the forest, which felt as though it was calling her, begging for her to enter. She thought it over and decided to head over to the train to help the remaining people inside. Her first few steps were more of a stumble, but she managed to make her way over and step inside, seeing Nathan and Evalina both fighting a crying, white-haired girl who appeared to be a summoner of some sort.

Jason had been itching for a good fight for a while, and by the looks of it, he'd gotten himself onto one. He ran enthusiastically at Eiko, only for her to dodge the attack in an annoying way and end up directly above him, which wasn't exactly a good position to be in for Jason. "My confidence will be my victory, you mean," he corrected her with a grin as she made her next move. How was Jason going to defend himself against this one? At first, he may look like an idiot who fights recklessly without much thought, but he's actually very strategic and fast to think. "Re-quip!" he commanded as Eiko made her way down, aiming for his head. His gauntlet quickly shifted and changed into a strong, circular shield on his wrist which he held above his head to block her attack. Her spear collided with it and made a loud clanking sound as metal hit metal, dinting the shield in the process. "You're good, I'll give you that!" he commented. "But you've just got one problem..." he gave her his signature grin. "You're fighting against me. Re-quip!" he called once more as he transformed the gauntlet on his other hand into razor-sharp claws. He jerked his shield away to his side and, as Eiko fell, he swiped at her with the claws.

Lucy hadn't even noticed the girl planning her attack as she had planted her hair into the ground the moment she'd started talking. As the flower burst out of the ground underneath Loke's feet, Lucy felt a wave of dread brush over her as she called out his name, reaching out her hand in his aid only to be attacked herself by hair in the form of a Harpie. She flicked her wrist and whipped the Harpie with her Celestial whip, grasping the Harpie's throat with it and tightening, causing the Harpie's head to pop off just before an unseen girl launched a loud attack, causing all of the hair-creatures to turn back into normal hair. She was so caught up in all the action she hadn't noticed the girl comment on her skills earlier or processed that the enemy had even mentioned her just before. "What..?" she said in a slightly confused tone as she glanced around. "Invisible? Oh!" she said in almost a squeak in response to Vivi's comment. "Invisible girl? What's your name?" she asked, turning her attention back to the enemy with a serious expression. "You seem strong. I can feel a lot of Magic Energy coming from you. Would you mind fighting along side us?" she asked, a serious smile spreading across her face as she reached for her Gatekeys once more and pulled out a Golden key. "Open! Gate of the Great Crab! Cancer!!" she commanded, twisting the key as if opening an invisible door, summoning the Celestial Spirit, Cancer.

Juvia seemed to be a little starstruck as Gray dashed towards her and hugged her, spinning her around in the process out of sheer happiness that she was alive and safe. As he stopped and reclaimed his cool attitude towards the situation, Juvia simple stood and stared in awe at him with a stupid grin on her face and her eyes shining more than they ever had before. So coooool... she thought to herself right before Gray suggested they head inside the forest to search for the others and offering his hand to her. Her eyes lit up with what appeared to be hearts and small sparkles could be seen floating around her head. "Mmh!" she responded in a somewhat grunt, and continued to say, "Juvia will go anywhere if it's with you, Gray-sama!!", her eyes large with determination. She reached out for his hand and grasped it tight in anticipation for what was going to happen next.





((Hey you guys, sorry for not replying as fast as I usually would. I went on a camp for school and I've been pretty tired from it the last few days, so I was kinda stumped with how to reply to this. But here it is! ^^ Who wants to take over Cancer? :3 And welcome to the Quest, Manga Grl! Hope you enjoy! ^w^))

"M-my name is Occulta von Visum, but everyone calls me Vivi... for invisible... I am 15 years old, I became invisible after drinking a potion made by my brother, Timmy, and I love animals! I play the violin and speak 12 different languages! Erza is my role model, I think Natsu is awesome, and- Oh. And...my brother, Roger's ghost is right beside me, and he's saying that I really shouldn't be talking this much," Vivi stuttered, then she took a deep breath,"I'm sorry, you probably didn't want to know all that... it's just, well.. oh wow, I just can't believe that Lucy the pretty mage I've been following for the last six months just spoke to me!!! ♥ Oops.... Er.... What I mean to say is, I'll do what I can to help you!!!"

((Thanks, I think I will enjoy this... :3))

"You guys can go split the reward amongst yourselves, I'll pass," Hazama proposed, almost willingly. He turned to face the library's wooden door and waved goodbye as he adjusted his tie. "I'll catch you guys later, I've got err...some business to take care of," he said edgily, before leaving the mansion.

"Hey, don't be afraid, we don't bite... hard," the twins replied in unison, glancing at each other in conspiracy. They sat down on two empty seats at the table now ice cream sundae. Yin dipped her finger into the ice cream and licked it, turning to Yang, "Sweet, but not really my taste... You should have made it vanilla." Yang shook his head grumbling, "you know I hate that..." Yin and Yang turned back to Leila at long last, finally remembering that she was there. "Hi miss, we are Yin and Yang, the twins of destruction and creation," they said at the same time, "and, who might we have the pleasure of meeting?"

((um... sorry, i forgot to add the picture in the last post, and by the way, Yin is a girl and Yang is a boy ^^"))
