Welcome to Gaia! ::

Gatz picked himself up out of the bushes he had flown into.

"Oww... okay, I guess he's not 'dead' enough yet." Gatz brushed himself off, then waved a finger at the enemy. Hey pal, you'd better quit moving around like that, or you'll just die all the quicker."

((Gatz is refering to the fact that he not only damaged Jaegar earlier, but the essense of the spell animating him as well. What's left of the spell will eventually break down completely, and moment and regenerating just eat up more of what's left of it... domokun ))

"Oh really? Zhat's all? Vell vhy did you not sey so. I'll even save you ze trouble."

Beatrice retrieved from her hip a long barreled pistol into her left hand. She slowly lifted it up and poised up into the sky where Silver was held in suspened safety. Or so he thought. Then, before anyone could do anything, a loud shot echoed through the demented realm, tore through the dome's protective barrier, and into Silver's right breast. Silver's eyes shot open after a piece of hot lead burrowed into his soft flesh and everything went dark and cold for him. His body fell through the walls and plummeted to the volcanic floor below.

"Zis should now get interesting." She said with a devious smirk as though something catastrophic should take place upon Silver being shot.

((Probably extreme mutagenic effects. Leading to total celluar destruction. But that'll take a little time, until then, he is likly to get stronger.))

Dragon grinned as he felt Oneechan's mind colapse within him. Oh today was a good day. He had never had this much freedom with this host. It was almost like having the host accepot him, but not quite. Besides, Adeline would be able to sort it out. He knew the Goddess of Nekomewmican personally. A bit to fluffy-hearted for his tastes, but she was a damn fine shag. Laughter racked his body.

Te black energy balls dripped together, forming a spined-taloned-armoured glove. The armour seemed to grow all over his body. Finishing with a smooth mask for the faceplate. Spines and bladed prptrusions, not hindering the wearers movement.

Dragon shifted onto his toes, blurring towards Beatrice. Mashadar in hand once more. His manical laughter continued.

Adeline screamed. How had a bullet penetrated her barrier? She didn't know, but she knew where it had come from. She guided the floating sphere out of sight of dimentional gate. Kasuma followed her, neither able to reacue Silver.

Adeline screamed to Gatz: "Mr Gatz, hurry and bring Silver to me. But be careful of bullets. If you can get Silver here, I can heal him!"

((Whew! I'm back! Work has definitely sucked up a lot of my free time))

Silver's shot body plumetted below into Gatz saving arms. The hole in his left breast bled out his waning life. It was uncertain if whether he was going to make it or not. Beatrice just laughed at how idiotic they behaved. Its as though they do not even understand their own magic.

"Notzhing iz indestructable kitties. Once Jaegar had thoroughly given your barrier a good thrashing, it had veakened to vhere I could easily 'penetrate.'" Alzhough zhere iz a surprise just waiting to come from Schroder.

It was as though the blonde dominatrix had this match completely thought out considering her actions. She released the clip that was in her pistol, bounced her well-endowed chest to produced a different more fierce-looking clip from her cleavage into her free hand, tossed the cartridge into the slot, cocked the gun, and aimed it into the possessed Onee's face when she arrived just in front of Beatrice. All in just one motion.

"Bad meow-meow. You mustn't be bad with Mutti."

She pulled the trigger, releasing a bullet from its chamber and driving itself into Dragon's forehead. The force of the impact caused Onee's body to fly back and crash onto the molten ground.

Beatrice looked at the possessed nekogirl queerily and wondered what all of that talk about that lovely jewel on her forehead. Why was she pointing and pressuring her to strike that target? Bah! There are better ways to deal with your enemies and killing them is just too boring and overdone.

She peeked out of the corner of her eye to see what Jaegar was doing amongst the others. He was far too busy fighting them off that he was oblivious to the dealings of Beatrice that now was a perfect time to make her escape. Although she despised the fact she was about to lose her best bodyguard and her favorite "toy" and this little trek was all for naught, she could always find another of everything.

She dashed up to the busty nekomimi with remarkable speed for a haughty "princess" that she seemed like a blur. Her hand dove towards the middle region that only girls have, latched onto its inside, and squeezed to paralyze her prey in torment, pain, and pleasure. Beatrice has great knowledge of both genders' anatomies so she knew exactly where each "sweetspot" was. Dragon was left shocked in awe as the female body he possesed was stunned and could not divert attention because of the nerves the dominatrix had ensnared.

"Sorry ve could not have done zhis under more consensual circumstances but I have more pressing matters to attend to."

With that, she reeled back her free hand and thrusted its open palm with great force into the possessed one's abundant chest, causing Onee's body to be sent flying away some distance from Beatrice. The busty dominatrix turned away and made a mad dash like no other towards the portal Dragon had opened up. She made acrobatic flips while twirling and firing her pistol at those who may possibly try to put a halt to her attempt. She looked back at the unconcious Schroder and wondered why it did not work. She used the right ammunition so why had it not worked?

Silver laid there in Gatz arms, coughing and sputtering, showing minor signs that he was still alive but barely holding on. His nine lives just may run out.

Dragon was surprised, he hadn't considered the flaws of having a female body. Still he was able to halt his flight through midair with an exertion of will. A second exertion initiated rapid powerful explosions to erupt, in Beatrices path, Brilliant multi-hued bolts of lightnig striking amoungst the flying-burning earth.

Mirleya cradled Silver gently. The tears streaming down all three girl's faces.

"Please hurry, please" She was desperate. She in the short time she had known him, had come to really like the catboy.

Adeline's hands gestured desperatly. Her own tears blurring her vision. Before her little hands tumped the ground.

"I just don't have the energy left at the moment." She cried in frustration. Wjhen to her horror, Silver stopped breathing. "Oh NOOOOOOO!"

Kasuma wiped her own eyes, and opened her spell pouch. She layed a silver amulet on his fore head, and a fist sized ruby on the gunshot wound.

"Allright, I'll try WISH then."

Kasuma Incanted for what seemed like hours. Then the ruby flashed red once. Before leaving a whole, and alive Silver. His eyes flickered open, and the girls stroked his hair back from his face. All of them smiling at him.

The ruby was no where to be seen. Only Kasuma knew where it was now. And she was going to wait to discuss it with Onee first.

Dragon watched as the gate winked shut. So the b***h thinks we're not returning eh. He felt his host body heal completly. I really need to get back into shape. It's been too long.

He heard the monster roar with rage.

'SHUT THE F*&^ UP!'- He screamed at it -'FIREY POWER, BLAST OF THE DAMNED!'

A small searing red bolt of light shot out of the gem, striking the monster in the back. A series of terrific explosions obliterated the beast. More thoughly that Gatz had been able to do. Not one iota of esscance remained to reconstitute the creature.

Dragon didn't even bother to watch. He wasn't interested. That Beatrice woman had his attention. Oh she was going to be fun. Fun to kill that is. Or maybe torture first. Maybe he could trick her into destroying the gem. Oh it was a possibility.

All three of the girls hugged Silver gently. Checking to make sure he was all right. Kasuma interupted te proceedings.

"Silver, I have something that you need to know. That bullet destroyed your heart. Adeline was unable to heal you. She didn't have enough strength left. And I know no healing spells. However, I was able to save your life. Technically you no longer have a heart. I was able to replace your heart with an enchanted ruby, the size of your heart. it has the same capabilities as your heart. So do not be afraid. YOu will live a long time. But don't over stress yourself, otherwise it might cause you some discomfort."

She kissed him gently on the forehead.
