Welcome to Gaia! ::

((I honestly didn't see anything wrong...I got the implication just fine and I think it freshens things up a bit not to reveal everything all the time that doesn't necessarily affect other people directly. Then again, if it causes this much of a problem I guess it would be good not to be so...idk. You know what I mean. But since we all know what went on now I think we should just go on, no need to go back and do it over again or edit anything. Savvy? [Sorry, couldn't resist, I'm in a mood. >.<]))

Akiko turned around obstinately and started back to the gate, but decided against it eventually. It seemed she would get more information by staying and being a good girl. So she turned around and watched Zolx arrive, relieved that everyone was getting back fine.

Zolx...she'd always known he was a little weird. She wasn't quite sure what to think of him now. And his new companion? Well...she was pretty tired of trying to figure things out by now. Again, she decided to let it go. Though he was really, really different, and it bothered her a little...

Akiko was a little worried about what seemed to have happened to the others, but Zolx seemed so confident that she didn't feel like asking.

Shinyuu, in the meantime, was abashed for only two seconds before Kya's response set his face alight. "You do remember me!" he cried joyously before wrapping her into a bear hug. "That's great...soon we'll all be together again, all the other seven, too..."

Paying attention to the others once again, he nodded to Zolx. "Mm-hm. Shinyuu," he said distractedly. He seemed to be a very fickle angel, easily excited, not near as calm as someone like Hagosha.

((Last I heard Kairi was with the People at the End of the World.))

Sora shock his head, "I think that was her card to begin with Elizabeth. Nothing to really worry about."

"This happens often then?"

"Well, sort of," Sora laughed awkwardly.

((Hope you don't mind a little teensy bit of god-modding then, Kairi. biggrin ))

Shinyuu startled at Kiante's question, bringing him abruptly back to his purpose. "Oh yes, yes," he said hurriedly. "This is basically the final battle. All the beings of light and darkness are going to be here any minute to fight to the end. If we win, darkness will essentially be vanquished forever, and we can all go on happily back to Earth with all the beings of the universe who've ever lived..." His tone took on a slight dreamlike tone as the prospect excited him. "Everyone who's kept their heart from succumbing to darkness. And the darkness in everyone will be obliterated. Essentially...it's a paradise, where angels and humans can finally live together in understanding and without conflict."

When Kairi finally burst through the still-open portal, Shinyuu was once again brought back to reality. "Oh!" he cried. "I have to get the others!"

Just before he dashed through to head to Port Royal and fetch the stray members of their party, he turned to Kairi quickly and kissed her hand. "I'm sorry for this rude departure, but you have no idea what a pleasure it is to see you again, Princess," he told her with a smile. Then he was gone.

Akiko looked nonplussed. She wasn't in the greatest of moods. She really didn't like this place and everything about it was freaking her out. "So basically," she finally said scowlingly, "following the whole Christian theme of things, we're in hell and that's where all the bad people go over there, am I right?"

"I am not entirely sure myself." Kya said to kairi Still a bit confused over all that had happened. "So how are youfeeling?"

Mika was becoming further annoy the goings on around her. First some uppity British pirate wench was trying to take her things, then, some 'angel' popped into existance besides her.

"This is ri-god-damn-diculous!" she finally screamed. Yes, she had truly lost her temper now and was ready to go dragon on their...wait a second...

Since when was she a dragon? Or a witch? She was very confused right now and nothing around her was helping in the least.

"Weren't you ever taught manners?" she asked Elizabeth before putting her card with the others. "And you there," she waved at the new arrival. "State thy designation and purpose."

Shinyuu put up his hands quickly at the girl. "Mika, is it?" he said hesitantly. "You can call me Shinyuu. All I'm here to do is get you back with your friends. I kind of messed up the portal and we don't have any more time to waste. So...if you could be so kind as to get Sora and get moving, we really need to go."

Akiko frowned. She hadn't meant to let her mood show. "That's what I meant, it's over there," she muttered, then realized what was going on.

"Kiante!" she yelled after him. "The angel guy already told me not to go too far away, so that means you can't either!" In other words, Careful! You don't know what's out there!

"Wow...a real angel...?! Wow!" Will exclaimed. "Where are we going?"

Kiante ignored Akiko's comment. Something was...pushing him on. Or was it pulling? It didn't really matter, he had to keep running. And, the amazing thing, he wasn't getting tired...at all! He expected soon he'd see other celestials, but he didn't. Not yet anyway.

Mka walked through the portal, casting one last glare at Elizabeth before disappearing completely. On the otherside, she wasn't surprised to see Akiko and the others it would figure she'd get stranded somewhere. Swiftly, she made her way over to thunger member's of the Lunch Crew and began checking them for injuries and fussing over them.
