Welcome to Gaia! ::

Not seeing the attack coming at him, due to all the other people trying to attack him, he was hit directly in his forehead. He began to move his sword when suddenly a pain shot through his body; he couldn't move. "What...is...this? he asked slowly. Due to the spell most of his lips were paralyzed also. Seeing Zero was in trouble Ace quickly shot another energy blast, aiming for Tyo. Ace scurried down the tree and then stood on Zero's chest, ready to defend him. "Ace! I...told...you...to..go...away!" he said slowly. Ace quickly turned around, and looked directly into Zero's eyes. "Zero..I'm not your pet, I'm your friend. And friends always help each other don't they? We're a team..." he stated, hoping that Zero would finally get the message. "Thanks...buddy." Zero said as he tried to smile. Getting back into what was happening, Ace turned around and slowly shifted his gaze between all the people.

Ace eyed the man carefully, but as long as he didn't try to attack or anything Ace was fine with him. "Zero...Touzoku....It's not really my last name, because obviously it means thief. I gave it to myself..." he said slowly. Ace slowly propped up his head, so that he could see who he was talking to. He dragged Zero to a nearby tree and slowly rested his head against it. "Nurse Ace at your service!" he said grinning. Zero grinned, but then quickly turned his attention to the group. "And you are who?" he asked towards Kai. "And what are you doing in this valley? You're obviously not thieves...and you don't appear to be merchants."

Taerel was so caught up with the battle, she had hardly noticed it slowing down. She raised up her right arm and sloppily smeared the blood off of her left cheek with the back of her hand. Domeki walked slowly and approached the boy, Taerel sitting up straight ontop of his back, holding onto his sleek, black fur. Her pink hair trailed behind her along with the large, white ribbon tied into her hair. She looked down at the boy with her soft, purple eyes.

"O-oh!" Taerel flushed from suprise, looking at the creature who was sitting in front of her. H-he's.. so adorable..!! she thought to herself. Domeki didn't like her treating him like a pet, and she wondered if she would offend the animal is she called him cute.

Domeki heated up with both anger and annoyance, jerking his head from one side to the other to shake off the creature.

"Well things seem to be fine now, so lets get going Ko-chan!" Asuka said as she grabbed Kotaour by the collar of this shirt dragging him off.

"H-Hey! Let go!" Kotarou yelled as he flailed a little. As he stood up he brushed himself off. "All you had to do was tell me, didn't have to drag me." he added.

"Well lets go!" she told him as she floated off.

"Yeah yeah." he said as he started to follow but stepped on a loose part of the cliff causing it and a few other peieces of teh cliff to fall down towards the group. "Uh ... oops. Ehehehe" he said to himself as he quickly went off following Asuka.

Domeki looked down at the strange creature. Being played with like a child's toy wasn't exactly his idea of 'fun.'

Taerel's face grew cold as it lost color, sweat running down the side of her face. The blood slowed down at the pressure of the bandage. "Oh.. Thank you!" she grinned at the creature, patting him on the head. "I assume you are Ace?" she said, hearing his named called several times by his partner.
