Welcome to Gaia! ::

He scratches his head. "Um, well, um, to tell the truth, um, you don't want to know, um, me and, um, Helena, um, yeah." He says very very quickly, more so than the ear of a normal man could take, but he knew Kahlan could take it in fine. "We kinda, went for a swim, and, yeah, you don't want to know."

"Your....." He nodded solemnly "Yes, I am part machine, you would be surprised about many things about me. But that is a long story best saved for later. The reason I have gotten you to come down here is of a grave importance you see we technomages have been around for a very, very long time. Helping those who need it, we are many and we are few. A dieing breed in the prime of its life." He nodded as if that made perfect sense, "Wait...what does that even mean?" He made an annoyed sound, "Alright if you need it simpler put....well, now that I think of it there isn't really a simpler way to put it. Now! What I have brought you down here for is help. Your friends are in trouble and they need you. Jamie and Jacques are in the castle, held prisoner, one in his mind, and the other bodily. You cannot save them with your current abilities, or more importantly, gear." With that he turned and walked over to a small chest with a cog shaped lock, he held a pointer finger out to it and a small spark of electricity hit the lock, it opened with a click and Mr. Gyro opened up the lid, taking out a small box he walked over to a dusty table and placed it down, beckoning me over. When I reached it spoke two words, "Open it." I opened it cautiously and blinked at what I saw, "Is this....for me?" He nodded, "Yes it is, I can teach you how to use it if you want?" I looked back down into the box, "....Ok...but we have to get my friends out first." He nodded as if I had told him the sky was blue, well technically it wasn't here...

The room Jamie and Jacques where in as suddenly surrouned with the noise of hundreds of ticks, as if in a room filled with clocks. It went on for what seemed hours before it stopped as abruptly as it had started. With a deafening boom the far wall exploded. Jumping through the explosion Mr. Gyro and Jairn burst forth, both weilding an explosive in one hand and a clockwork pistol in the other. Gyro looked at Jacques and extended a telescopic arm out to Jacques and shot a bolt of electricity through him, reviving his heart. Jairn was standing infront of the door, with a swift kick he shattered the door in half, his arms and legs where covered in what looked like metal braces but where actually a muscle enhancing exoskeleton. He click a button on the grenade and threw it at the oncoming guards, they flew every which way in a fiery explosion even as jairn started sharp shooting the men it hadn't hit with the pistol. Mr. Gyro tossed what looked like a smaller grenade at Jamie's feet, she held her arms up to protect herself but a dim purple bubble expanded out encompassing her, there was a pop and the amgical restraints vanished. Gyro tossed a capsule at the nearest wall and it expanded out with a pop into a white circle. He extended his arms out, wrapping them around the prone figure of Jacques and the confused Jamie, he threw them both through the portal. "Mr. Donale! We must leave at once!" Jairn shot another guard who had gotten too close in the face and ran back into the room, together the two went through the technomages portal. After the two men had gone through the portal shrank rapidly until it dissapeared. The wreckage left behind was all the guards could find.

Scotts went to pick up the crown that scarlet threw across the throne room and tryed to return it to her but Scarlet became intangible and the shadows began to bend themselve to hide her as she began to walk out of the room.
"Scarlet! You can't run from your dutys!You do know that!"Scotts cryed out in vain as the red cloak dissapeared into the nearby wall with Scarlet's words of " Bite me!" echoed off the cavern wall.

Jacques wakes slowly, his head a splitting bomb. Ouch, what happened?" He looks at his clothes. The memories of being brainwashed come back to him. He gasps. "Jairn, I am sorry, i didn't know what I was doing." In truth, the clothes behooved him, he would keep them, the gauntlets different from what he was used to, but they were still light enough to act fast. The cape of chain was also nice, heavy, but nice. In truth he could get Axel to change it for him, or another alchemist should they find one. Same with the gauntlets. He looks at the newcomer. "I am grateful for helping me." He stands, only to be rocked down to a kneel. His body still hurt all over.

Jacques experiments with his new toys. Satisfied that he could do some damage, he tests out the magical side of it. Focusing his mind, he shoots out a bolt of lightning at a metal object on the wall. It toasts and then falls to the ground with a bit of smoke coming from it. He laugh. "I am happy with these things, wish i knew if they are the things that brainwashed me so I could remove it when I meet back up with a magic doer." He looks at Jairn, or more formally, Drako. "Drako, you could help me you know..."

Jacques laughs. "That is handy... Um, Drako, I would love to know if these new garments are what brainwashed me in the first place so I can get rid of them, lest I be brainwashed again." Truth is, he really didn't know where his parents had come from, so he had no idea what he was.
