"This is how it started, and this is how it'll end. By my hand."
"You know, you all could relocate here just as easily." Because that was logical. Don't talk in the living room with the couches and stuff, talk in the throne room where there's one chair. "You just HAVE to get so close, don't you. You know I find you completely repulsive." Yeah, sure. That's why he just said her body was perfect. Logic. "I'm not weak. Well, when I'm with you I sometimes feel weak, but..." That was for different reasons. "All our children ever do is ask me for things..." He sighed. "Like just because I have these powers I should just be doing everything they want. I should just give them whatever they want." Well, Artemis never did, and Balder and Aven only rarely did, but the rest usually only did that. "You can get along with them. They love you. I'm not exactly the best parent in the world though, in the future, so they don't see me as much of a father." One could only wonder why. It's not like he has the thoughts and worries of every other being on his mind at any given time or anything. Not to mention his own father was far from ideal. His mother tried, but she never really knew what she was doing. At least she cared about him. He sighed. None of this was relevant, he supposed. "I am weak. That's what he always said..." He said. "Sorry, I don't mean to... I just..." He shook his head. "Hana was his little girl. She didn't have to try to be perfect in his eyes, but me... I was never a fighter. I was a scrawny, weak little kid, with admittedly sexy hair, but still. I wasn't strong enough to be his son, so he didn't..." He sighed again. This might surprise Phoenix, since he had literally never talked about his family seriously before. He wondered now though if his lack of parental skills and inability to have a loving relationship with his children stemmed from his own familial issues growing up. "But when I got all these powers... he sure did show interest then..." He lowered his head. How did he start talking about this? "But I don't want that... I was already ten when that happened." Ten. Seraphim's age. That was when he got these powers. These powers that caused him to feel immeasurable amounts of pain and stress. Every. Moment. Of his life. "I didn't have a father before then, and I wasn't going to after just because circumstances had changed. Love shouldn't be conditional... I mean, that's how it should be, right? I just..." Phoenix floated off his lap now, a few feet away, and Nero stood from his throne, walking over to one of the circular windows that looked out into the deep sea around them. "I know it must have been hard to grow up without a mother. If it wasn't for my mother, I might not be stable now. I'm not exactly normal, but she was there. At least, sometimes... not... much..." He lowered his head again, thinking. "But... you're so close to your father because of that, aren't you? You and Unisha. And you two are closer for it too. I have no ties to my family. Not anymore. I know I put on this facade like nothing from my past matters, but I think about it a lot. I know it must not be very attractive to see me like this, but I..." He raised his head, a sort of solemn look in his eye. "He's a god, what does he have to worry about? He has all the power in the world, why is he complaining? ..." He paused for a long moment. "..." And longer. "I want to look invincible for you, and I guess I want everyone else to think that about me too. Like I have no problems. I'm unshakable. Like everything is some big joke to me." He wasn't sure what he was trying to say, but he hadn't ever spoken so seriously for so long before. "But I'm not... there's so much wrong with me... it kills me when I feel someone die. And I feel it every moment of every day. It kills me to know that I could have done something, but I couldn't at the same time. It kills me that I can't be by your side when you're fighting. That I can't save all of your allies when they're in danger. But what hurts me the most is that our children might end up as miserable as I am, because of who their father is. Because of my lack of intimacy growing up, because I was never raised properly, I've done the same to so many of them. Because of my powers, they all have these burdens too." Not all, but many did. At least they could act with their powers, though, like Artemis rescuing the Serenitians from the Reaper's' realm. "I love you..." He turned towards her for a moment, a saddened look in his eyes. "I have no problem showing my emotions to you. You are my everything... I can express my emotions to you. I can show you how much I love you. I can tell you how much I adore you. I can make you understand what you mean to me." He sighed. "But them? Our children? They're all so precious. I love them all so much. They're the biggest blessing I've ever received... To think I could have so many children, and.... and they would..." He smiled sadly, tears beginning to flow down his cheeks. "And... they would be happy! Even with me as their father! I love them more than I could ever put into words. Even if I've never given them the love they deserve... each of them deserves the world and more... they deserve every single bit of time I could ever spare them, and yet I've given them none. What sort of b*****d am I? How could I..." He paused a moment, turning fully toward her. "How could I let them go even a moment without telling them everything they mean to me? And yet, I can't! I have this mental barrier, this... scar! From my past! And I can't get over it..." He was referring to the way he grew up. How his own father treated him. "It won't heal. Even with all my powers! I've brought people back from death. I've created life, and yet still, there's this... THING... that even I can't fix! I'm so... HELPLESS... AND I HATE IT!" He couldn't stop himself from screaming. His emotions were going haywire in his mind. Luckily, he had put up a sound barrier around the room, so the children wouldn't hear. "I hate it! I want to hold them all! I want to tell them everything they mean to me. I want to... to lie, and say that it isn't my fault. Blame something else for the way I've treated them all the years of their lives. But I can't! It's my fault! It's because I'm so... Gah!" He collapsed onto the ground in a seated position, covering his face as he began to sob. This had been... eating away at him for so long. That was clear. "Pho...Phoenix... I just... I'm sorry..." He said loudly, sorrowfully. "I don't... I don't want you to think I take them for granted! I love them... and I love you... I know I'm not good at expressing it, but I... I..." He tried to take a deep breath. "I'm so sorry you have to see this... I should be strong for you... but I have my weak moments too... I just..." don't like showing them. "This is... I'm... just..." He was worried now that this might change something. Like she would see him as less of a man and more as a burden. Maybe that was a reason he never had these sorts of conversations before. He wanted to seem like nothing was the matter. That everything was always alright, and he never took anything seriously. But that couldn't be further from the truth.
"Staaaaaaaaaaaahp...." In less serious news, Blaze wailed from the floor in his sleepy voice for Daisy to desist her prodding. "Get your disgusting feet off meeeeeeeeeee...." Clearly he wasn't exactly going to do anything to stop her, though. It would simply take too much work. Artemis and Balder's eyes slowly went toward the direction of the throne room. "..." Artemis lowered his head slightly. Their father could hide his emotions very well to the children there, but these two were extremely hard to fool. Father... He thought to himself. While he didn't know exactly what was being discussed, it was clear that Nero was having some sort of breakdown. He had never felt his emotions become so... intense before. It was a little startling, but very few of the children would be able to feel it. These two just happened to be very in-tune with their Sixth Sense and the emotions of others, which plenty in this room were... lacking with, to say the least.
(( OOC: That ended up being longer than expected. ))

"Or not! Come on, you made this place! You can't really enjoy sitting here all alone. Most humans seem to have a saying, something of..Life is short, to live every moment to the fullest. While I know our life isn't exactly short, we should treat it the same. We should enjoy every moment.." She said to him, pausing a moment to give him a light whack at the back of his head. "Your so kind, I look forward even more to marrying you! " She was being playful, of course.She knew Nero's bad attempts at humor, and this was still one of them! "You shouldn't worry about that. They are kids with a powerful father, they aren't thinking clearly about how it might make you feel. And I know they don't mean to hurt you, it's in their nature to ask for things when they know you could. "
Hmm? What are you saying, Nero? They don't just love me, they love their father too. Don't you say that again! " She wasn't angry, but she was darn right serious. The look in her eyes showed that much. "They love you more then anything in the world, they love us both. In this time and in the future.."
Phoenix paused, his tone had took a dramatic change. He was clearly no longer joking anymore, there was a sadness in his voice she never really heard before. Phoenix listened to what he had to say, trying to keep herself from speaking until given the proper chance. Roy, his father...was a real cold hearted jerk in the future, wasn't he? The more she heard, the more she thought back of the current time's Roy, he was pretty distant, wasn't he? But not just with Nero, with everyone of his family from what she understood. There was a small rage building up like a fire inside the Phoenix, but she continued to keep her calm. Losing it right here, when Nero was already so close to a break down, was not a option. Letting him continue on, Phoenix found herself floating off him, only to touch softly to the ground as Nero stood, she watched him there with worried concerned eyes..
"..Nero.." She said softly, frowning. He had been holding all of this in for so long, for years, she could guess. Of all the times she had tried to get him to open up to her, it seemed, after so long, he was beginning to. While it was hard to see him suffering, knowing just how much trouble he was going through and the pain he suffered. She had to fight herself not to end up in tears herself! It was really time to be strong for him now. "No.Not at all, No one in this home ever would think that about you. Do you think I didn't notice? I know you have feelings, I know you've been holding back on talking to me about your true feelings. Of everything that's bothered you. You are just like all of us, even God's have worries,feelings, and hurt all the same. " She began to say. "I know you better then you think, you are strong. and I don't mean because of what you are. You've held in so much all these years...I wanted you to talk to me, I hoped so much that you would talk to me! To open up and tell me everything that was bothering you. It is not complaining to me, Nero..I want to hear everything, even if it's painful. I'm here for you, no matter what..All of us are. " Pausing, she let him continue, again giving him time to speak freely before she would speak again. He began to talk about how hurt he truly was, being unable to save everyone, to be by her side as she went to fight, but he also carried a guilt of thinking their children didn't understand. "Nero..? " She took a step closer, reaching out her hand to rest softly on his arm.. "Your wrong, they know you love them, they even know you want to spend time with them. They aren't at all holding anything against you! Even Sakura understands. I made sure of it. I wouldn't let them think you didn't care for them. They know the burden of your job, they know one hundred percent that it takes so much of your own time to do what you need to do. But they accept it, they accept everything because they know how you truly feel. They're our kids! They are a lot smarter then you might think. They all so very much adore you more then you will ever know. "
Roy was...really going to get the worst beating of his life at some point, she couldn't help but really feel the need to cause him some pain. Maybe that would wake him up, maybe he wouldn't be such a cruel jerk in the future. He needed to be woken up, clearly Isabel had no ability to do so. But physical pain only lasted so long, it needed to be more.....he needed to feel just as much pain as Nero was feeling right now, if not more. "Then, let me help you get rid of it..It may not be easy, but will you let me try? I said earlier, i'm always going to be here for you, for anything. Right now, the biggest task is getting over your past experiences with your father. He's in the future, and he can stay there. Just think, we don't ever have to see him here...He doesn't exist! The only thing that's important, the only thing that should stay here in your heart is us,and our children. You have to let him go..I believe in you, Nero.I know you can get past this..You are so much stronger then you think! " She said, her voice encouraging, but still held a softness to it he didn't often hear from her. "You can't let him trouble you anymore, you have to stand up and show him that he didn't win. You came here, we found each other and fell in love. We have so much to look forward to, so many wonderful things to look forward to and the lot of them are right in our home. And all of those are what matter. All of them which hold the best and most strangest love for you, you could ever imagine. Nothing else matters! It isn't to late, you can do all those things right now, or any time you want. You can tell them how much they mean to you, you can go and hold them all tightly and be thankful that this is your life now. This is your life, Nero..You don't need to be sad anymore..Were all here for you, and love you so much!" When he suddenly dropped to the ground, sobbing, Phoenix moved some, so she was now behind him. Before Nero knew it, Phoenix knelt down behind him, her arms gently, comfortingly wrapping around his shoulders from behind lovingly, as she whispered softly. "Don't say that. Shh, I don't always want you to be strong, Nero. I want this. I want you to talk to me. I love you so much, there isn't a thing I wouldn't do for you, if you ever need to talk, i'm always here. " She finished with placing a kiss to his cheek, before hugging him tighter. She didn't want to let go of him, this was a feeling she didn't ever experience with him, sadness, and being able to be there for him, and hold him like this was something she had always wanted to do. Just be there for him..
And then, Daisy was flung from the sofa, or rather, shoved completely off the other end by Ariana. Who then proceeded to laugh at her when she landed painfully on her backside. She was going to have some kind of bruise! Maybe Ariana took that a bit to far? Well. Whatever, she would live. Ignoring her now, she went and flopped right down on the floor, in a seated position before gently giving Blaze a little lift up into her lap. "You can sleep in my lap, Blazie.." Brushing her fingers slowly and tenderly through his hair, she would let him sleep if he wanted. And considering just how comfortable it was when anyone played with someone's hair, he would probably fall asleep. "So cute.! He's SO CUTE!..He's so adorable when he's tired..I could just huggle him to pieces! " She thought in her mind. Sadly, she didn't seem to notice what was going on between Nero. Aven however, did. She wasn't like Ariana and Sakura. She even glanced to both her brothers, rather, the only ones with brains, to see if they too had felt it.Sure enough, they had that same worried look in their eyes.. But, she also knew, no matter how bad she wanted to go see him, Phoenix was already there, and she should give them their time and let Phoenix be there for him right now.
"This is how it started, and this is how it'll end. By my hand."
"..." Nero slowly lowered his head. She had noticed? He hadn't been hiding it well enough, then. He didn't want her to see this, but it felt like he couldn't stop himself. He had to speak about this, to make someone understand... "It's... not your burden..." He said quietly. "It's mine. I shouldn't be... bothering you with this..." Even though they were engaged, he saw it this way. As she continued talking, about their children, and how she saw it, he paused. "But I... my future self... I didn't raise them with any love. I wasn't there for them. I didn't listen when they made any sort of accomplishment. I just wrote them off and left. I hated it, but I... I couldn't force myself to do what I wanted to do. I have this mental barrier, and I can't overcome it..." He sighed. It was true, Roy's treatment towards him had caused him to have a psychological barrier from almost all forms of intimacy or love. He struggled with it, even in the future. "..." He glanced at her. "Well, if they take after you at all they can't be that smart..." That was probably a bad joke. He shook his head. "I don't know, Phoenix... I know that some of them despise me, the same way I feel about Roy" There was a reason he had never called him father all these years. "..." He shook his head, a bit faster now since he was getting worked up. "No. I'm not over this in the future, and it isn't something I can ever get past. I just..." He paused. "...No, I can't... I can't do this..." He said quietly, lowering his head. Even if he ever could, it would take a long time, if he even could. After he had collapsed to the ground, he sat there, quietly sobbing as his love held him, comforting him. "...I'm sorry..." He said quietly. "I'm sorry..." He repeated, his voice stricken with pain and sorrow. "I'm sorry, Phoenix... I'm so... sorry... I love you... I love... you..."
"...Urgh, I welcome you, incest..." Blaze said, a tired voice as he laid on Ariana's lap, rather comfortably, too. He certainly wasn't shy about how close his head was getting to her. As he laid there, he replied to her thoughts which he apparently heard, not being asleep quite yet. "You're sssuper cute too incest partner." He said drowsily, reaching up a hand to her face, as if to tenderly stroke her cheek. But considering his drowsy state, it ended up being more like him rubbing his hand against her face uncomfortably. His hand was rather awkwardly stiff, too, so it ended up being a pretty funny image.
(( OOC: I don't know how this ended up being so comparatively shorter. ))

"Not my burden? Bothering you? It is so! Your troubles are my troubles. If your hurting, I want to know...I want you to talk to me. I want you to need me, too.." It wasn't as if she was of much help to him, ever. What could she do to help someone so powerful? He never needed her help, which bothered her more then he would ever know. If this one thing, his own emotions was the thing she could help him with however, she was happy to do so. To hear him even open up and talk to her was wonderful, just as much as it was sad to see him in so much pain. "You aren't bothering me, you never could. I'm here for you, you silly goose.." He had said that in the past several times, in his more sarcastic moods, but it always ended up sounding so darn cute. So, she thought repeating that small phase was at least something to lighten his mood, even if just to get a tiny smile. "So let's change the future. It's possible, you know! Let's save our family...Even if its slow steps, get to know them. Talk to them...Little by little each day by spending time with them and knowing in your heart it IS what you truly want, then the future can change for the better. For all of us.."
"Ohhh, i'm going to let that one slide for today.." She responded calmly, though the hint of playfulness was also returned.
"Why do you think they ..despise you? You aren't right, you may be a God, and more intelligent then anyone else on the planet but this I promise you, you are wrong. They do not hate or think badly of you..None of the girls do, and nether do the boys! Nero, you have to gather up belief, belief in you and your kids...This can be overcome. You just have to trust in all of us. "
As Phoenix held him now while he softly sobbed, he would feel her tighten the hug a little, not enough to hurt him, while it still remained a loving embrace of comforting his hurting heart. "Shh.." She hushed him softly, not letting him go.. "You are the love of my life, Nero...I love you more then anything..." She whispered. "I love you...Now, no more apologizing, you have nothing to apologize for. You are wonderful, even if you don't believe it. Your my sweet Nero...and i'm your annoying Phoenix. I'm always going to be.." She tried to say in a slightly playful manor, hoping to cheer him up a little.
"Hm? " He said that part out aloud, didn't he? Or was she just mixing her mind conversations up with vocally spoken words? Oh, the troubles of a Serenitian! She may of been giddy and cheerful at his next words, had they not been so slurred and not quite so meaningful in his drowsy state. Then came his hand that awkwardly came to rub against her face. SO romantic! .....not! "Ah! Heyyyyy. Your bad at this.." She said into his mind as she grabbed a hold of his hand and set it back to rest on his own chest. "Maybe you should sleep on the sofa or your bed, sleepy-one!"
By now, Phoenix, Azura and Teresa were settled in the living room's sofa together, having a little discussion of their own while Azura regained her energy.They weren't alone, though. Not that they needed to be, Ariana, Aven, Daisy and Sakura were all there too."I never really thought how crossing into a different time could come back at us all in some way, and I guess it did. As it is, all children and adults who crossed into this time line are at high risk. Those things are out there hunting for anyone who doesn't belong...That's why no one here is allowed to leave.." As she said this, a grumbling Ariana could be heard from her lazy position over one of the sofa seats.
"I think I'd rather die by those things then die of boredom in here! At least then I can go out with a...a......blazing glory!!" The teenager snickered loudly to herself, she would light them up like a Christmas tree before she went down!
" ANYWAY..." Phoenix continued," Just keep your eyes open, and inform anyone from the future what's going on. Not everyone knows, I'm still trying to find the rest to warn.." "..I see....." Azura sighed. "Just how many troubles are going to come at us at once? Can we...really keep up with it all? The Beast...Adachi turning the world against us, Reapers and now the future troubles..." It was a bit over whelming, and that wasn't even ALL their troubles. Everyone seemed to have select forms of enemies after them, the world was riddled with monsters, there was no true peace, ever. "You know what I wish? Even if it's just for a day...Once the Beast is defeated..Everyone, all of us celebrate together..in just a day of simple peace with friends and family, no interruptions, no enemies attacking out of the blue..Just..one..good..day! " It was as if she was asking for the world, something so impossible it was really very sad.
"I may love battle, but...I wouldn't mind that myself. It kind of does sound to good to become true, doesn't it? " Phoenix paused a moment, her crimson eyes settling on both Azura and Teresa now, as though she were expecting to see some good reactions." So, you two...Since you have no way to teleport out of danger..How would you feel about flying out of it? " The question marks almost seemed to appear around their heads, she could practically see them! "..Once you feel ready, i'm going to take you back to Serenity, but there's a little surprise waiting for you if you can stand it..As you already know, the Pegasai of Serenity are special in many ways as they are mysterious.You both can have one of your own to help you get around and away from bad situations. They can be summoned to you at any danger if you call to them. I know you don't care for being high or off-land, Azura, but maybe it's time to let go of those fears if it means to keep you safe? And Teresa, um...Maybe we can do a little training for you to get used to them..Then again, I suppose both of you need training.." Teresa who would probably pass out the second she got to high, or fall off with her terrible balance, and Azura who just didn't like to be far off land, she also didn't find it particularly lady-like!
"...Um, excuse me!!? What about me! I want to fly too! That's SO not fair! Grr! " Ariana had spoken! ......only to get a small glare from Phoenix. "...It's...not....fair! You don't care if I couldn't get away from enemies?! " Her eyes began to wail up! "...Mmmhmm.You wouldn't last ten minutes before you were off to the most dangerous part of the planet to rush into some silly battle by yourself. No. "
Azura blinked at the two, her hand coming up to cover her sudden giggling. "..You're so cute, Phoenix..You really love it don't you? You are so lucky..." While Ariana wouldn't understand what she was talking about, Phoenix knew. "I always dreamed to have the gifts you have, I wonder if I wasn't who I am, that maybe I would have found the same thing? " There was a breif moment of silence in the room, before she shook her head softly. "Sorry...I..Must be tired, saying silly things...I'm sorry, please forget I said anything.."

Nero Lylatt
"This is how it started, and this is how it'll end. By my hand."
Suddenly, in the bottom room of Nero's Sanctuary, and large, spacious room that had never been used before, a mass of people would appear. Every single person who had come to this world from another with good intentions, every person who fought for a noble cause, every member of Avalanche, all the Shepherds--they would ALL appear in this room. "Wha?" Robin grunted. "Where am I? Who...?" "What? I was just..." Ein looked around the room, confused. "Where am I? Who are all these people?" She recognized some, but others she had never seen. "This... These are all people from the other worlds. And Avalanche... this is..." The battle against the Beast was coming... that had to be it. "Father, please provide an explanation to these people." Artemis called out above the confused speaking of everyone who appeared here. In front of the group of people, Nero appeared, floating a distance above the ground. "So here you all are..." He paused. "...I am Nero. I am considered a god by a race called the Serenitians. I have brought you all here for a reason. As most of you know, there is a threat in the world of Gaia. A threat named Exitiumortis, though most of you know him as The Beast. He is the harbinger of the end of the world, but some fates are too cruel. I thought to intervene. He is at 95% of his power right now. If he reaches 100, he will end all existence. All life you've ever known and loved will be obliterated. It's now or never. You can choose to fight or die. And that's why I brought you all here--to make a choice. No one except you can make it for yourself. Some will fight, some will run. I am not here to judge your decision, only support it. If you wish to fight, I can send you to Midgar... where the Beast awaits..." Above Nero, a vision of the Beast completely obliterating Midgar would be shown, so everyone could understand what they were getting into. "This is just a portion of his power. And Midgar is now destroyed. As the world will be, if nothing is done." "Ugh, this is ridiculous..." Adachi complained. "If you're so godly, why don't you do something about it??" He shouted out.[- "...It isn't my place." Nero said hesitantly. "I cannot interfere in the affairs of mortals too far. If I were to destroy the Beast, rifts would appear across the cosmos, and reality itself would be ripped apart and destroyed. It would be an inevitable end to all life, but the Beast is NOT inevitable. He CAN be defeated." "What choice is there to make?" Chrom said. "Of course we'll fight. If we do nothing, the world will be destroyed and we'll die anyway. I'd rather die fighting than hiding like a coward." "Not that I have any intention of dying either way.... but I agree." Soren said. "Our odds only improve the more people we have fighting." "Sounds like fun," Desmond said with a shrug. "I'm not the type to run and hide anyway. Count me in." "Indeed. As the sons of Sparda, we will ensure the destruction of this Beast." Jin agreed. "Ha! I have broken the cold clutches of fate before. Owain Dark will participate in this epic battle as well!" "Inigo of the Indigo Skies will help as well." Inigo said with a small grin. "...Don't take this so laxly." Squall said. "The fate of everything hangs in the balance. We can't go at this with any less than our best." "Of course I'll help. I make my own fate. I won't let some monster take that away from me!" Corrin said seriously. "I've overcome the odds before. This won't be any different." "Well, I can't say I'm as confident as the others, but who am I to disagree? There's no way I'm sitting this one out!" Robin agreed with the others. "Your enthusiasm astounds me." Nero paused. "You must all decide soon. The Beast is waiting for you to arrive, and when you do, it won't be simple. Even with all you cooperating, there is no guarantee of victory. If you wish to go, I will send you. If you wish to remain, you can stay here and watch the battle's progress."

•. ❤`•.¸¸.•´´¯`••.¸.•´´¯`•´❤
From the siren sound of chirping birds, to the even more pleasant sound of Ephraim's voice as they spoke, to...suddenly, nothing. Everything went quiet, the air around them seemed to change, no longer hot and humid, no breeze. Just silence and cool air. Then, the many, many sounds of people began to be heard, from shocked gasps, to confused questions, it wasn't long before they would realize they were no longer at the island, but inside Nero's sanctuary. She could feel her heart sink like a rock in the endless depths of the ocean. Azura knew what this meant. Sure enough, there was Nero above them. And above him the most heart wrenching vision of a city being completely obliterated. The other thought in her mind, not quite so much though, was how her dates with Ephraim never-ever-finished well.That beast, he was going to feel the wrath of a mermaid, very, very soon. "Grrr! Let! Me! Go! I don't like you already!---......huh? " Well, THAT was kind of embarrassing. And Awkward. Very much so. Madison was still carrying Teresa, despite her demands to put her down, when they suddenly just vanished! Zenjiro too, oddly enough. And he too, appeared there right next to them. Possibly due to his good act of the day, he came too."......." As the three over came their confusion, the future Madison set Teresa down finally. Suddenly, it wasn't quite so funny anymore. "..I have fought my share of the impossible.I will do all that I can to aid in this battle.." Lucina said.."...M-Me to.." The suddenly softly spoken, shy crimson haired priestess said. Sakura, of course. "I can heal the injured..and I can use my b-bow should the need arise.." Oh, goodness, there were SO many people here. So many people she didn't know.. "......" Another stood, though this particular one said nothing, a young teenage girl of long pink hair, and crimson red eyes.Her cold, yet confused eyes took a moment to look at everyone around her. So much to snack on, she would never go hungry again..! ...Though, this was probably not the reason she was here. Unfortunately, the warmth of so many people was really, really edging her for a little food. Ah, Reaper's. They were pleasant to have around, weren't they? "...." Terra found herself closer then she would have liked to the Reaper, and although she had no idea who or what she was, the look in her eyes kind of gave her a slight fright. But this was no time for that.. "..I will fight to my best to protect everyone..We won't let this world be destroyed! Many others spoke up, and near every single one of them stated they would also be joining against the beast.
"Will our abilities still work around him? If that is the case, I'm in..I can help too. " Not a whole lot probably, but any damage counted when it came to the possibility of the end of the world. "Don't even think about saying no. This is no game to be played..Whatever damage I can do to him will count for everyone, and this whole planet. Whatever happens happens.This is battle, and if we want to win it there can be no needless worry. " People were going to get hurt, some may be killed. Maybe her, heck, she expected it even. "I've taken him down once, I will gladly do it again.."

- Cissnei -
Not everyone had a most pleasant appearance within Nero's sanctuary. Like Teresa, and now, Cissnei, who was previously in the process of sipping her hot coffee. Unfortunately, when suddenly being teleported so unsuspectingly, her coffee instead went all over her dark suit! "..Ah!! What in the...." And....this was quite embarrassing.Thank god her coffee wasn't scolding hot! As she was attempting to brush off her now wet, uncomfortable clothes, the ex-Turk began to look around at all the many, many people. Everyone looked to be puzzled at first, but it was only moments it took to realize what exactly was going on. "....." Suddenly, she felt very under-prepared. Nervous even, who wouldn't be? And then it became silent as the young Serenitian God spoke, explaining the situation.
As well as showing it.
"Oh my god.." Midgar. There was nothing left. Nothing at all! How could this happen? All those living there, were suddenly just lost. They promised to save everyone, to save the world. And yet, there was nothing, not a thing they could do to save them..This was to horrible!
"Adachi." Adachi groaned at the voice, turning to face the Leader of the Investigation Team, Yu Narukami. "If you're here, that must mean you've thought about what I said, right? Are you going to help us?" Behind Yu was Yosuke, who had his arms crossed in his usual posture. "You damn kids are so annoying," Adachi said with a sigh. "But, what can I say? I like living as much as the next guy. Though something tells me your little band will have no problems with this guy. So, maybe I should sit this one out." "You're okay with that?" "...Tch. You're an annoying brat. Fine, I guess I'll help. Don't think it's for you, though." "It's for Nanako, right?" "Wha?! No! I don't give a damn about you or your family! I just... want to look really cool in front of all these girls is all!" Somehow, he was worried if his "secret" about caring so much about Nanako got out, he would look a lot less like an intimidating villain. "There are some real knockouts here, you know!" "..." Yosuke turned away. "I can't believe a guy like you helped Yu defeat Hi-no-Kagutsuchi. Just don't get in the way." He walked away. He wasn't his usual, carefree self when it came to Adachi. The one who killed Saki. "...Eesh. Tough crowd." Adachi responded dully. "All your pals here probably hate me, so try to keep them from killing me after this is all over." "I make no promises." Yu said with a slight smile. "Oh, you are just SO funny." Meanwhile, in Hiyori's head, she would hear the voice of Nero. No, the Beast's Pressure would typically keep anyone from using special abilities. But you're a special case. Due to your past dealings, the Beast seems to be afraid of you. In fact, he seems quite terrified just thinking of you. So much so that his Pressure will have no effect on you. What a special girl Hiyori was. This would probably only serve to boost her confidence even further... Meanwhile, Ein was able to finally locate Teresa in the midst of all these people who occupied the room. "There you are." She said, relieved. "I'll be going to fight, of course. You'll be staying here." She said, rather adamantly. She had no intention of letting Teresa go, especially considering she could do nothing to really battle the Beast as it was.

As if she really needed more confidence to boost her into reckless actions, though again, HIyori tended to think before doing anything that would be considered a stupid move."Hee,hee...Oh, how fun. I can't wait to see that terrified look on ...er...."Okay, so she didn't think about EVERYTHING. It didn't seem to cross her mind the beast was in the form of his oldest son! "...Sorry. Sorry! " And here she was the one who felt bad about attacking the beast earlier all due to his appearance! "I'll just picture what the real creature's face might look like! " Wow, she was pretty bad at this."I'll just shut up and focus on killing it.."Probably the better idea. She must have been secretly nervous, to be faltering with words so bad!
Teresa meanwhile, kind of stood there along side the much older Madison, her mind was in the process of freaking out. Sure she knew this day would come, while on the other hand part of her still wanted to keep believing it never would. And now, it was here, and she didn't know how to react or what to do. It was the sound of Ein's voice however, that broke her from her thoughts. She took a step toward her. "..What?? I'll be going with you, of course. Didn't you hear what Hiyori said? We need everyone. I can heal..It may not be on pair with everyone else's ability, but I CAN heal. You know in a battle like this, any healer is important. If anyone goes down, that's one less chance to save this world. There's no time for emotions..Besides, I'm here, that means i'm useful to the team too, Right, Nero?!? " She looked up into his direction, obviously looking for his support!
Appearance Information and Equipment Armor: Metal breastplate over a simple off-white tunic, leather pants, heavy plate boots.
Physical Description: Sturdy and well-built, Dyrhan has a jawline beard and messy short black hair, with clear green eyes and a wide face. His body is a canvas painted with scars and cuts from years of experience.Of special mention is his lack of a right arm, instead having a marvelous technological development in its place.
The sudden shock of being ripped from his surroundings and placed into a strange new location with all sorts of people put Dyrhan on edge as he instincts kicked in. Raising his cannon abruptly and looking around, pointing it at nearly everyone, he settled down after a minute or two, once he was sure there were no blatant threats around and that this wasn't some sort of trap. Hearing the explanation of those who appeared to have brought all of them to this place, he balled up his fist. "I want at this punk, too! I don't care what he is, he's going to pay for that. After we beat down this self-righteous punk, drinks are on me."
Weapon(s): Variable Cannon[Right Arm Amplification - Deals Fire damage], Reinforced Gauntlet[Left Arm Weapon - Deals Physical Damage]
Abilities: =Variable Cannon: Shrapnel Blast - Loading metal shards into his arm, firing produces a burning spray of searing red scrap. It causes moderate damage to unarmored targets and causes bleeding. A point-blank shot has enough force to send even a minotaur staggering back. =Variable Cannon: Missile Launcher - Straightening his right arm, the hinges are locked and the shoulder joint unfastens, letting the weapon detach from his body. Twisting at the elbow to create an open passageway, the cannon serves as a means of long-distance combat, but occupies his other arm to load and fire, taking a total of TWO [2] Turns to complete an attack. The explosion radius stretches 15 meters, and can dish out quite high damage even without a direct hit. =Mythril Crusher - A hard, furious punch is made with his gauntlet, capable of shattering mythril ore. Also useful for breaking weapons and shields. =Defensive Formation Buster - Charging in, Dyrhan cocks his left arm back and throws out a rage-filled punch, able to bust a large hole in most standard defense formations and staggering anything hit.
Limit Break(s) =Variable Cannon: Mk.II Devastator - Lowering down to one knee, Dyrhan settles his cannon down onto a stabilizing tripod, beginning to build up Fire magic within the barrel. After ONE [1] Turn, a powerful beam is released, with a radius of one-quarter of a meter. On contact with any physical surface, a powerful meter-wide explosion erupts from the contact point with enough force to cause heavy damage to even the most reinforced structure, with the entire length of the beam serving to burn through the target as well. Using this is by far his most powerful attack, and the amount of heat generated from his cannon makes it searing hot to the touch for a single turn afterward, dealing addition fire damage to melee attacks made with the cannon. =Undying Determination - Fueled by his rage and determination for justice, Dyrhan becomes unable to die for THREE [3] Turns, shrugging off even Death itself and becoming immune to status effects. In doing this, he can sustain fatal wounds and attack much faster. After the last Turn, Dyrhan heals for a portion of the damage he dealt.

"So terrible.." A low, softer voice spoke out, the voice of a young teenage girl. It was hard to not see the image above them, no matter how completely confused she was, it became quickly apparent to her something even more terrible would come to them. Kana had no idea who this beast was, she had never met anyone here to be filled in of the harsh information. It was only due to Nero's explanation that she would learn the world was in grave danger. "This can't be happening..I want to see papa! " And of course, her mother, Shigure and the rest of her family and friends. She couldn't see it all end without having seeing them again. She wouldn't dare run, of course. Kana would fight with everything she had, but still, if something terrible did come..She needed to see them.
That was when it hit her, there were so many faces, so many unfamiliar ones she didn't know. But, even she could figure out all these people were here for a reason. They all had some kind of battle experience or were helpful in some way.So, if her family was in fact int his world too, what were the odds they too, were brought to this very same location? "...Papa? Mama? Shigure?! A-Anyone?!?" She began to yell out, looking frantically through the mass crowds of many hero's. Her eyes were trained for her family, or anyone she knew, everyone else seemed to be a blur or didn't exist to her right this moment.
In the midsts of standing near so many people, so many in fact she felt, quite uncomfortable around some. Mostly the dark haired man who referred to the many ladies here as 'knockouts'. She didn't much enjoy men who only looked at woman in such a way! She was painfully to close to him even! If these were her new allies, one might think she would try to handle herself better in this awkward and uncomfortable situation, but instead, she found herself giving him the look. It was unstoppable! The look of which would bore right through his soul, as well as the one most men tried to avoid.Coming from such a gentle looking young woman may of been quite unexpected.
And then, the image of Midgar's destruction came to her vision as she found herself looking away from Adachi, to the holographic image. "...." The silver-haired maiden turned to look to Nero, sighing softly. "The world is facing a grave battle I will not sit by to watch...I can aid everyone with heals and magic. "
