Welcome to Gaia! ::

Jenna laughed at this "Sounds like she totally deserves it, no one likes a traitor," she said waving at the new figure standing in the doorway.

Itaka chuckled "Bit harsh grassing her in don't you think?" he whispered to Seph before glaring at Hikari "You shoulda known this would happen, so I'm not gonna protect you here" he grunted "Fight your own battles" he sighed stepping out of the way revealing Hikari before sighing.

Gilgamesh shrugged "Looks like we're going to get a warm up battle to watch before the main event" he said tickling Enkidu's chin and glancing from Hikari to Kimino "You make such odd friends" he said to Alpha.

Kimino stepped into the ship spotting Hikari he patted Alpha on the shoulder "Don't worry Alpha Anakuda is constructing a barrier outside the airship that should make a safe battleground." he reassured him. "Still I'm afraid I'll need you to come with me Hikari, your execution awaits" he said bitterly.

Zadina shrunk back in the corner "Things are a little too serious for me here" he said glancing fearfully from Hikari to Kimino before scampering after Boco and Chobi.

Oassu sighed at Hayate's words "Fine but Hikari is an old friend of ours" he sighed "I trust her still I suppose we already have a list of ingredients anyway" he said sitting down beside Felina "I'm not sure I can bear to watch this either" he told her sullenly.

Mari reached up to stroke Hebal's ear as well "Calm down Hebal they aren't going to fight here....still I hope it ends well" she added nervously.

Barbaros stepped back beside Itaka "Isn't this a bit harsh mon? She's a friend apparently?" he whispered

Itaka sighed "I guess so I feel like such a jerk for it but I don't wanna annoy Kimino, he's done so much for us including looking after Zadina when he was in critical condition besides Hikari shoulda taken more care" he whispered back

Felina smiled at Hikari as she made her way out the airship. "Good luck and thanks for the gift" she called before getting up to examine the bag that Oassu had been left. "It was nice of her to give her these, still I feel a little bad now that I didn't stick up for her more" she sighed giving Oassu a hug.

Hayate frowned overhearing Seph and Itaka's conversation. "I don't want to be rude or anything but can I talk to you in private for a few minutes. You can take Itaka with you if you want" he added to them indicating for them to follow him into his and Alpha's room.

Satoshi sighed getting up to follow Hebal into the stables. "Here let me help you feed them" she told the viera filling her hands with chocobo food. "So whats up? Seems a little funny for you to be worked up about somebody you don't even like. Heh let me know if you want to talk about it sometime" she whispered into her ear.

Seph raised her eyebrow at Hayate before following him into the room. She looked around this being her first time in the bedroom. "So what is it your wanting to talk about. Is something up because you've been acting a little strangely for the past 5 minutes or so?" she asked sitting on one of the beds.

Alpha noddd sratching his chin. "Yeah theres a few spare places in the engine room for this sort of thing if you want to follow me" he replied kicking the rug up by the sitting area to reveal up a trap door. He pulled it open to show a large ramp leading down into the ships engines. "Follow me down here and I'll show you where" he instructed descending down the ramp.

Hebal smiled picking up Zadina and giving him a hug. "Cheer up, they are all tough people and if things get hard they can teleport away." she reassured him glomping the chocobos before holding the food out for them. "Thanks Satoshi, maybe I'll tell you about it a little later"

Asmodeus rolled his eyes blasting Jechkart with a wave of energy while he was still striking his pose. "Hmph you're an idiot. At least try to be a serious challenge or go away" he scolded the hawk then shot a glare at Kimino "You sound pretty pathetic"

Hikari nodded rolling her eyes at Kimino "yeah yeah spare me the whole I have no choice excuse. Theres always a choice and you just made yours" she sighed taking out her weapon before glancing over at Anakuda "Good morning to you too, still blindly doing as your told and throwing yourself at men Anakuda?"

Anakuda sighed going over to heal a dazed Jeckhart (this is the definite spelling of his name I've decided!) "You know I haven't throw myself at men since my fall from grace Hikari never bedded a man" she said sternly "Also I'll have you know Jeckhart is an extremely capable combatant." she reassured Asmodeus as Jeckhart leapt to his feet.

"How dare you insult Captain Kimino like that! I'll show you who's serious!" he said said spreading his wings and rocketing into Asmodeus carrying him into the sky with him.

Kimino glared angrily at Hikari "If you hadn't turned traitor in the first place I wouldn't have to make this choice, it's clear you made the wrong choice long ago." he said holding out his hand as his bladestaff appeared there in a flash of light "Enough talk of choices!" he said rushing towards Hikari.

Oassu frowned "I don't think they heard you Felina" he said biting his lip as Jeckhart took off with Asmodeus swerving up right past the ship's door the wind brushing through Oassu's hair.

Itaka raised an eyebrow at this "Wait what? You two knew each other from before then?" he asked curiously sitting down next to Seph "How come?" he asked.

Zadina blushed and squirmed at first before giving in and snuggling into Satoshi happily "That would be great thanks Miss Satoshi!" he cheered.

Barbaros nodded "You know this ship pretty well Alpha how'd you get a beaut like this?" he asked taking his bike down the ramp.

Mari snickered as everyone glomped Zadina "Bless his poor soul, careful Satoshi he's just starting to like girls you know?" she said winking at them before feeding Boco along with Hebal "I'm sure if things get too tough we can just step in and beat some sense into them" she told Hebal happily.

Felina sighed watching as her request went on ignored "In that case I am just going to have to make them hear me. Wish me luck" she told Oassu giving him a kiss on the cheek and handing over Cid before stepping forward. She cast a spell under her breath causing the fighters around her to become trapped inside separate blue bubbles. "Stop fighting already you lot! Alex is about to attack my home and you lot are just making it worse for everyone" she scolded them.

Hayate nodded rummaging through his bag before eventually pulling out an old black and white picture of a slightly younger version of himself standing next to Seph. "I kinda guessed you didn't remember me but check this out if you don't believe me" he told her passing the picture. "We travelled around together for a year and a bit but got separated after deciding to explore the abyss"

Satoshi snickered giving Hebal a big hug too. "Hey you can stay and feed the chocobos a little longer. Seph and Itaka are kinda spending some quality time together anyway. Don't want to disturb them" she told her tickling her ears before going over to Mari. "while she does the armor I'm going to finish her dress" she whispered.

Alpha laughed patting Barbaros on the shoulder "I try to. Staying in one place for too long gets boring. Besides you've got to do something interesting once your free from raising kids and they've all left home" he answered coming to a stop by the last door on the right. "Just fit it in here, it has a few racks and pillars but I would advise you tie your bike down " he advised leading him into the room.

Seph took the photo from Hayate giving it a good stare. "Do you mind if I keep this for a while in case it triggers anything later on? Oh and How did we meet and stuff? Also what happened in the abyss?" she asked before handing it to Itaka to have a better look. "What are you thinking Itaka?"

Hebal grinned and nodded at Mari. "Yeah I'll go get the armor and you can keep me company while I fix it up" she chirped bouncing out the stable and down the corridor and pushing her way into Hayate's room forgetting to knock. "Sorry hope I didn't disturb anything, just need to collect your armor Itaka. Though why do you all look so serious?" she questionned noticing Seph's confused expression.

Asmodeus grunted as he began to transform again "Not likely" he smirked before fluttering out of Jeckhart's hold in the form of a feather. He quickly changed back once he was free and pushed his opponant directly in front of the shell.

Hikari groaned hopping away over to Felina. "Sorry but I don't think they want to listen to what you have to say which is a bit of a shame considering I know where every item on that list of yours is plus whats missing if something goes wrong and the old man doesn't approve." she tutted forming a barrier around herself and Asmodeus.

Anakuda morphed back into her original form before walking up to Kimino. "You know their concerns aren't ours," she informed him "Besides they already have a list containing all the ingredients they need they'll find them eventually" she told him.

A small cherubim appeared above Jeckhart absolving itself into him as he woke up "Owwie...." he murmered coming to a unsteady standing position. "I take it we missed?" he sighed.

Kimino nodded dispelling the barrier "I'm sorry Felina but the second she's finished with you she'll take to the skies and you won't see her again, besides we can help you with that list as well" he said as his team advanced on Hikari. "She's tricked me once, don't let her trick you too!" he told her.

Oassu remained silent contemplating what Hikari said It sounds too good to be true yet I suppose she already gave us two of the items still, what if she's trying to trick us, or if Elorin thinks we're doing ill of his deal he thought before stepping in front of Felina. Doesn't matter if she's telling the truth or not I can't let them hurt Felina

Anakuda stopped frowning "We're under specific orders not to harm them, stop using them as shields Hikari" she shouted.

Kimino nodded "It's over Hikari even if you get away here we can track this airship easily and we'll be able to find you" he sighed.

"Yeah next time you take a step away from one of them BAM! In with the claw!" he said slicing the air.

Itaka unclipped his armour and handed it to Hebal "Thanks Hebal" he told her "We're just talking about what to do with Hikari so it's kinda a serious matter but thanks for the armour" he said with a smile closing the door on her before going back to the photo. "I'm thinking....what the hell were you thinking growing that mustache...look at it it's all the way down to your chin!" he chuckled passing the photo back to Seph. "Still I'm also thinking this has something to do with Hikari's sudden appearence and your reaction, y'know Hikari knew a little about the Abyss when we went there, thats the whole reason Kimino is chasing her now" he said scratching his chin.

Zadina cheered "Blue is like my fave colour too but yea I'm certain she'll like it!" he said hiccuping at the end.

Barbaros nodded "That not for me that" he said moving his bike in and tieing it down "For me once the kids are out it'll just be me and the wife lovemaking until the end of time" he chuckled "Give her extra special care for the rest of our days" he said happily.

Mari cheered too "An artist a designer and seamstress!" she giggled glomping Satoshi "Is there anything you can't do?"

Felina let out a sigh of relief shakily making her way over to Oassu to give him a hug. "Well that was too close for comfort. Sorry if I worried you" she apologised in a quiet whisper reaching up to scratch Cid's ears before sadly glancing over at Kimino "Sorry but I can hardly expect you to know what it feels like to have to watch two of your friends try and kill eachother" she apologised.

Satoshi chuckled taking out a sewing needle and some thread to begin her work. "Well... I can't spell and I'm pretty bad at expressing things like poetry" she joked patting Zadina on the head "would you two like to help me while I make it?" she asked gesturing for them to all go into the sitting room.

Hayate felt his face turn scarlet in colour as Hebal left the room "Yeah I have an old travel journal somewhere you can read" he answered searching through his bag again pulling put a small but thick dirty book. "I'll let you read it provided you don't go showing anyone that picture since its a little embarrassing."
