Welcome to Gaia! ::

Gareth looked up at Chronic's attack just as it happened, taking the full flurry of blows right to the head and chest, simultaneously suffering from an epileptic seizure because of the flashing bright lights. He tried to throw on his shock reaction and give himself a boost of adrenaline to get out of there, but unfortunately it was a fatal mix and his heat stopped beating as the arteries feeding into it burst simultaneously, leaving him crumpled over and dead on the node.

Krono found himself walking slowly through a forest. He let out a slight sigh just as the wind picked up in a slight gust, muffling the sigh. The wind blew his golden hair about gently and his black leather overcoat flapped in the care free wind. He closed his eyes as he felt the wind blow against his pale skin and took a deep breathe.

His hands had been resting on the hilts of his dual katanas, but he had sensed no danger nearby and felt as if it were time to relax, afterall he didn't get those often. He opened up his eyes and regarded all the trees that were around him. They all seemed to be sturdy and if need be he would be able hide in them for cover, even jump from tree to tree for a quick get away. He found his mind wandered like that, he liked to figure out ways to escape out of places and things that would prove to be a tactical advantage to him in a battle, its just how his mind worked.

"Maybe I'm just wound up to tight for my own good." He stopped walking and ran a gloved hand through his hair. "But then again if you're a warrior with enemies, you have to be on your toes..." He smirked and shook his head before continuing to walk. "It seems talking to myself has grown on me...maybe I'm going crazy again."

Before his attacker had come in and began firing at him, he had both heard something jumping through the trees and muttering, but couldn't focus on what the words were. He sighed and nodded to himself, "That is the reason why I am the way I am..partly..."

He acted as if this were routine and without looking up, Krono had unsheathed Abel and began twirling it at rapid speed above his head, deflecting all the bullets. As the bullets came down more rapidly Krono performed a carthweel without using his hands so he could still deflect bullets. When he was out of the range of fire which was in mid cartwheel, he sheathed his sword and pulled out Chaos and Emperor. If it was a fire fight this son of a b***h wanted, thats what he would get.

Krono smirked and began firing his revolvers in rapid succession at the man who was in the air. This movement was pulled off in quick succession to his opponents attack. The shells he was currently firing were charged with angelic energy, in hopes that they would be more effective against this particular individual.

He wtached as his foe dropped down near him and shifted his fire according so. As the bullets collided they let off a high-pitched squeel and seemed odd to him, but strangely familiar as well. Seeing as this would just be a deadlock of firing their pistols, Krono opened one of his interdimensional portals beneath his feet and he fell threw.

While he was in the alternate dimension, still falling Krono had holstered his guns and landed on what seemed to be thin air. He walked forward a bit to where his weapons hung and he smirked as he took the buster rifle up and nodded slowly. No doubt his enemy would be wondering just where the hell he had gone but Krono liked to keep his enemies geussing.

He fell through another portal which took him way above the battlefield where they were and he launched off a round from the buster rifle and then fell through another portal, where he dropped off his guns so they could recharge in their place with his other weapons and ran through another portal which took him to a tree nearby where he saw the dust from the impact that was kicked up.

He had no way of telling if the colossal beam had actually hit his foe at all or not so he kept his senses about him and his hands on the hilts of his katanas, ready to counter attack at any second.

A brief moment in the aftermath of the large blast Krono felt something was....wrong and he couldn't quite place what it was. The best he could put it to was that something just didn't seem right. He didn't have long to dwell on it as he realized that this ne foe was plumeting down at him, attempting to make hima Krono-ka-bab.

He quickly unsheathed his dual katanas Cain and Abel and waited for his opponent to draw a few inches closer before quickly slashing both his blades out of the way. There was a loud ring of metal slashing against metal as this happened and when his foe was very close Krono performed a backflip, hoping that his thick boots would connect in a hit on the body. When the flip brought him to the trunk of the tree he kicked off of it with considerable force and front-flipped in the air.

"Foolish headstrong attacks leave you open."

In the middle of the flip he sheathed his swords and drew his two guns. He smirked as he followed through with the flip and sent a barage of explosive shells at where the man had tried to skewer him. He landed on the ground and imediately performed a side roll to the right, away from the scorched earth that was left from his buster rifle assault and continued a barrage of explosive shells. He didn't know if he was hitting his foe but he did know the tree was getting blown to hell and starting to light on fire.

Krono saw his foe shoot forth from the tree and come down slamming hard with what looked like fire gauntlets. This guy sure did like this kind of attack krono thought he was fixated with a death from above tactic or something. He leaped out of the way of the immediate attack, and watched as the blow connected with the earth, and to his surprise he saw it instantly go ablaze.

Krono couldn't do anything to avoid the inevitable and landed in the blazing heat for a brief second before opening a portal beneath him and allowing him to fall through. While falling he got rid of his black overcoat so he was just wearing his basic T-shirt and fell through another portal, bringing him above the battlefield once more. He unsheathed Cain and threw it through a portal to the left which would open up behind Chronic in an attempt to stab him. He then sent a mini barrage of angelic charged rounds before holstering his guns.

Krono closed his eyes as two objects began to protrude from his back where two holes he had cut in his shirt were. In a swift motion, two black wings shot forth from his back, feathers as black as midnight and he used these to carry him to the top of a tree out of the inferno area. He would stand and wait for his opponent to make the next move and if his sword had missed, ready at any moment to make it pursue his attacker if need be, or return to him depending on the situation.

Krono smirked as he saw the blade strikes his foe in the arm. However his little smile had faded when he saw it had almost no effect on his foe in the slightest. He watched as his katana was sent flying back to him, the process made quicker by that shot from his gun. Krono merely stepped to the side, keeping himself up with his wings and snatched the sword out of the air, whirling it a few times before holding it in front of him as if to say 'welcome home'.

He then reseumed his place on the top of the tree, back still towards his foe. It was at this point Krono heard the launching of several missiles, no doubt they were going to be following him. He rolled his eyes and sighed.

"What a pain..."

Krono performed a backflip over the leading missile that would have hit him and when he was straigh again, used his wings to carry him up a little higher, dodgin another one. He then let himself drop, dodgin another few missiles that would've hit him in his previous location. As he fell he landed on the first missile which had circled around to hit him.

Krono then sheathed his sword and pulled out Chaos & Emperor and fired at the pursuing missiles with explosive rounds, taking care of a good few of them. He glanced forward and saw a missile heading straigh for him. reacting quickly he holstered his guns and drew Abel before leaping into the air persorming a front flip with his sword out, slicing clean through the missile and having it explode behind him on either side. He smirked before sheathing his sword and stepping back a little.

This caused the missile to arch upwards as if to perform a loop. Krono unsheathed both Cain and Abel and performed a series of quick slashes as he fell. He weaved in and out of the missiles, makign careful attention not to get hit by them. His wings were the hardest to manuever but he managed to do it despite the close calls he had during the decent.As he landed on the ground not far off from Chronic, a series of explosions could be seen up in the sky as the remaining missiles had been slashed to pieces and subsequently exploded. He sheathed his swords once more, drew chaos and held it straight up in the air. He pulled the trigger once and smirked as the missile he had been riding on blew up. It had been beralling down towards him.

Krono then tapped the tip of his gun against his chin and looked at Chronic. Gotta hand it to you...you're good for some fun."
