Welcome to Gaia! ::

((That's fine Blue :3

*hides from the flying debris for this major, major late reply* I fail, I know >____<;;; ))

Mordred poked his head out from where he trotted between his father's legs and heard the german wolf call out. He squinted his eyes and saw two wolves standing in the clearing; one he instantly recognized.
"It's him!" He exclaimed, growling. "That's the one that took my sisters but....who is that female?"
He didn't like the look about her one bit.

Dagger and Atreyu followed silently, both casting looks around their surroundings and at the two pups that had accompanied them. He did not know why but he felt like there was something wrong; something very, very wrong. He bristled and continued to look around.
Dagger had his mind only on one thing, beside his occasionally glances at the surroundings and that was getting Igraine and his other 'daughter back. He tensed at Rudolf's words and came to a stop beside Atreyu.
"Katsuo...." Atreyu growled. "Katsuo! Where are they?"

Strangely enough, Kai followed Journey's action and fell silent. Things were getting tense now. He could see it in the others and sense it in the air. When they reached the clearing and
"Looks like we can't trust anyone in this world." He grumbled under his breath, glaring at Katsuo and the weird female with him.

Should be soon
The male's voice echoed in Lessandria's head and she hesitantly lifted her head to stare at him. What did he mean? What was happening soon? She was afraid and she wanted to know but she didn't dare ask. She quickly put her head back down and took a deep breath, taking in her sister's scent.
"Daddy will come for us..." She whispered to her sister. I hope she finished grimly in her head.

((Sei- Yep. That's what I was going for. You have your bad guys attack your good guys.
Corny- I'll have my extra bad guys subdue your good guys, the other two.))

Mikey glared at the pups before turning to face the entrance. He was keeping an ear out for when they were called for.

Kurogane looked at the little one in his arms and silently sighed. This was going to be a pain but he could understand what the little guy was getting at. "Fine. I'll take you with me when we're done here." He whispered as he set him down in the shadows and out of sight. He wouldn't let the others see Kay so Kay wouldn't lose his pride.

Katsuo cowered at the accusations in the knights' voices. He didn't have a choice in this! Agrona was not one to cross and he certainly wasn't going to cross her. He shook his head, no he was only making excuses. He wanted the knights to pay since they had taken his father away from him. "They're safe for now." He said wincing from the look Agrona shot him.

Agrona grinned as the knights walked into the clearing. It grew as she saw the pups with them. "Are you hoping to lose some more family members?" She asked with a chuckle, "I am Agrona, little child of the king. Best remember it if you don't want to get hurt." She then turned her attention on the winged brat and his father. "Oh. Looks like The Twins will get another playmate today. They'll be so happy. The other boy didn't give them enough joy earlier." She taunted as she stared directly at Ivan, "As for the girls..... You may have them back........ perhaps." She paused letting her words sink in before speaking again. "I must say there are quite a few of you here.... Introductions should be made. Death God! Come greet our guests. Psycho and Fallen Angel come out as well!" She said raising her voice, "Trickster! Memory and Oblivion Twins! Conqueror of Earth! Nothingness of the Soul! Demon Child! Introduce yourselves! Knights meet my army of darkness."

Rudolf frowned as Agrona talked. Another pup like Issac? What did she mean by that? He growled at her as she mentioned the girls and then introductions.


Hearing Agrona's cue for the introductions, Loki came out of his hiding spot. His eyes were on the gray male. He had heard from Leader that the male had something like a phobia against his curse, Nonsense. "Hello there. I'm Trickster. Pleasure to meet you 'Queen' of the Round table." He said growing serious, "Don't even think of moving or you'll experience another wave of Nonsense."

Hecate walked out of her hiding spot and moved to stand in front of the cave. Now no one could get to the girls. "Hello knights. I'm Demon Child." She said grinning and blinking one set of eyes.

Steren walked out as her name was called. "So it's finally time to conquer." She said grinning, "I'm Conqueror of Earth. Now all you Earth moonlits will be my home world's slaves!" She coughed for a second after receiving a dark stare from Agrona. "Now then it looks like your my playmate." She said walking up to Kai.

Kanna walked out with her name being called. She headed straight for Atreyu and held out her mirror. "Do not move or you shall lose your soul."

Mnemosyne chuckled as she came out with Lethe. "Oh sister. Looks like we get to play with the little ones again. Shall I take care of the king's brat?" She said moving towards Mordred, "I do hope you'll be up to the fun. I'm Memory Twin, who are you little prince?" She grinned her creepy grin before reaching out to grab him and move him away from Atreyu.

Walking out with Mnemosyne, Lethe grinned. "Oh this shall be so much fun. To play with another winged brat.... especially one we know this time." She said with a giggle, "I'm Oblivion Twin, little Issac. Don't worry about your brother. We took good care of him until he had to leave for a better place." She then dashed forward knocking Issac away from his father. She grabbed him by the neck and moved him and herself out of harm's (from the father) way. Issac tried struggling and only succeed in making Lethe bite him and rip his wings.

Issac was still with his father but froze as Agrona began taunting his father. The Twins had 'played' with another boy like him? No! She couldn't mean Kay! Could she? "What did you do to Kay!?" He shouted wanting to run forward.
As the other moonlits began walking out for the introductions Issac cowered at his father's side. Swallowing nervously when Lethe and Mnemosyne came out he knew he was in trouble. "Dad!" He yelped as Lethe knocked him from his father's side and dragged him away. "What did you do to Kay!?" He yelled struggling. In return he received a bite on the ear and felt hot pain in his wings. He screamed in pain as Lethe slashed at his wings.

Dagger frowned at the silly woman speaking to them and he couldn't help but shake his head at her. This was why he hated women. So devious and treacherous; they can't be trusted. He bristled at the mention of his newly acquired daughters. There wasn't going to be a 'perhaps'. He was getting them back. Movement around him caught his attention suddenly there were more wolves in the clearing. One of them, smaller than he, stepped towards him and he almost scoffed at the runt.... well until he mentioned that bloody curse. He frowned. How did anyone know about the nonsense thing? Besides Zoey, Atreyu and that unnamed assiliant when Raisa was kidnapped no one else knew about his fear of nonsense. Unless that unnamed assiliant was one of these wolves. Great... this day just couldn't get any worse. Growling at Loki, Dagger tried to look calm despite beginning to worry about being cursed yet again.
"You can't scare me with your empty threats." He growled.

Despite Katsuo being a traitor his words that the girls were safe gave him hope. He listened to Agrona's speech and growled when the other wolves from her "army" joined the clearing and made themselves known. This was bad... very, very bad.
"Agrona is it?" He glanced around at the other wolves that stepped out, giving them each a glare. "Why are you doing this? I'm sure none of us know who you are and have done nothing against you. He took a step forward, planning on rushing at the female leader but was frozen in place by three things: Kanna's lifeless voice warning him, Mordred being pulled away and Issac's scream of pain. He whipped his head in the direction of Issac and Lethe and growled, turning his attention back to Agrona. "What do you want?" He demanded again in a strangely cold voice.

Oddly enough Mordred was calm staring up at Mnemosyne as she spoke to him and pulled him away from his father. Whether it was from the fear numbing him completely or he was trying to block everything- his sister's disappearance, the other wolves in the clearing, Issac's screams of pain- he was not entirely sure. Her question finally registered in his mind and everything came back but the fear gave way to anger that shook his small body. He gave her a cold look.
"Who I am is none of your damn business." He hissed, preparing himself for whatever she had planned for him. "

Kai went from being scared out of his mind yet pissed off at all the baddies intimidating and threatening the others to thoroughly confused in a matter of seconds. He stared at Steren, blinked and then looked around at the others. Were they serious? They had an alien fighting for them.
"You know, I always thought aliens came in peace.... Whatever, I think I'm going to skip the whole alien experimentation thing and kick your butt to get our princesses back." He growled and glanced around, looking for the closet shadows that he could jump into. He would have to be sneaky but he was sure he could do it... but when? At Issac's cry of pain, he turned to the little guy and winced. "Let him go!" He howled at the dark moonlit in control of him.

Sandria's ears twitched at the distant sound of a scream of pain and she lifted her head, frowning. What was going on? She glanced at her sister, confused and frightened. Were more of them coming? Gods she hoped not. Closing her eyes, she burrowed her nose into her paws and shook her head.

Mikey looked towards the princesses for a second to make sure they weren't going to cause any problems while he kept and ear out for their cue.

Kurogane looked down at Kay when he licked his hand. Sighing mentally he knew now he'd have to take care of him and take responsibility. He then turned his attention back to what was going on out in the clearing. All of the knights had one of Agrona's army on them except for one. He sighed out loud this time and got ready to do his part. "Stay here. I'll be back to get you." He whispered to Kay. He then stepped out and began heading towards Garaden. Katsuo wasn't a fighter and would only get in the way. His part was over so why Agrona kept him around was beyond Kurogane. "Just where are you going? I'll be your opponent." He said grinning, "I'm Swordsman." His hand fell on his sword as he stopped near the black moonlit.

Hecate laughed at Journey as she ran to the space between her and Agrona. "Dear I think you've missed a couple of our members." She said grinning. She pointed to the sky as two Duos flew to Journey.

Charon took off from his branch at the same time as Nila. He swooped towards Journey and landed on Hecate's outstretched arm. "Borrowing this for a moment." He said turning a head to Hecate and the other to Journey, "I'm Ferryman. I'll be your guide down a river of pain..... if you don't stop now and just listen."

Nila also took off from her perch and flew to Journey. He landed on the ground and stood up on her two legs. Being an anthro Duo was so nice. "Yes don't want to hurt a pretty little thing like you. I'd hate to see you all frozen." She said keeping one head on watch, "I'm Ice Queen."

Coming out of the shadows a little late, Gloriana headed towards Rudolf. "Now now. No need to get worked up Rudolf." She said sitting down near him, "Let's just be as civil as possible for us. Oh. I'm the Winged Queene."

Loki scoffed at Dagger. "Empty threat. I don't care if I knock everyone's senses out here. You know I don't have great control over it so if I use it everyone will be hit." He said smiling as he heard Gloriana, "Winged Queene! I bet you look as beautiful as always." He didn't see her rolling her eyes at this.

Steren laughed at Kai. "Come in peace my a**. I'm here to take over this world. That's all." She said. She would be useless in a fight but she would do her best to keep this knight away from Leader until the right time came.

Kanna kept her mirror focused on Atreyu but made no move to do anything. Let the two leaders talk was all she needed to do. If so then this will all be over soon.

Mnemosyne didn't like it when Mordred snapped back at her and didn't cower in fear. "Ooooohhhhhhhh. Look at what we've got here! A fighter!" She cooed grinning. However the grin didn't reach her eyes showing how much she already disliked Mordred. "Lethe! Come play with me and this prince! He looks like he'll be more fun than the butterfly boy!" She grinned and this time it reached her eyes, showing just how much she would enjoy hurting him.

Lethe had been barely hit by Ivan when she snatched Issac. She looked at Ivan for a moment marking him in her mind and then turned to the battered pup. "Yes you're right. He's already done playing with me." She said leaning down to whisper in his ear, "You better not move from here until your daddy takes you away. If you do move.... well I'll let you think of what I'd do to you." She then stood and left Issac to go play with Mordred. "He does look like fun. He should put up a fight against us." She cooed as she stared at the prince.

Rudolf looked at Gloriana and nodded slowly. He wouldn't make matters worse than this. That and he couldn't really fight a girl, could he? He turned to look at Agrona when Atreyu began demanding answers.

Issac was sobbing in pain from Lethe's attack. He just wanted his dad and mother now. Some part of his mind was wondering if this was what had happened to Kay. When Lethe whispered in his ear he shuddered in fear. He wouldn't move. It hurt too much to do that.

Agrona smiled as she watched her army disable the knights so quickly. She definitely choose the right moonlits for this. She focused her attention on Atreyu as he began to speak. "Yes. I suppose you should know my real name. I'm Agrona.... I believe you once called me the Thief of the Round Food Bowl." She said tilting her head, "Why am I doing this? Silly king. Because I want something from you. Something that only you can give me." Her eyes narrowed when he demanded what she wanted. "Well you see. Later this year I'm planning something..... something around Christmas. I want your word that you and the knights will not interfere with my plans. That's all I want. Your word, your oath. Something of which you would never break since it goes against your knight code." She explained calmly, "If you give me your word on this matter, I'll give you your daughters back safe and sound. My army will also give you no more trouble for now and you can all leave peacefully."

Having everyone hit by that curse was enough to keep Dagger in check. It was no fun at all to be devoid of all senses. He shook his head at the small wolf guarding him when he turned to speak with a familiar looking winged wolf.
"That can't be her daughter..." He said, more to himself than to anyone as he stared at her. He shook his head and turned to Agrona and Atreyu talking.

"It was you that--" That whole ordeal came rushing back to him; the missing treasured item he had found as a puppy.... Tilly and Raisa's kidnapping.... He knew from Raisa's account of things that someone else had been helping Iscariot but it had been this wolf? Atreyu closed his eyes and growled as he listened to her demands. She expected him to give his word to not do anything around Christmas?! But his daughters and the lives of the others; his friends would be in danger if he didn't agree. He would think of another way to stop whatever she was planning that didn't go against this.... right now he was more concerned for the safety and well being of his friends and daughters and they were out numbered. He opened his eyes and glanced at Ivan and each of the others who had come with him and sighed. What choice did he have but to give his word to this madness....
"If I agree to this.... I have your word that you will let us leave here peacefully?"

Mordred shot a quick glance at the butterfly boy lying on the ground and sighed. That boy owes me if we get out of this... He glanced up at Mnemosyne and Lethe and squared himself for whatever they had planned but one thing was for sure, if he was going down... he wasn't going down without getting in a few nips and scratches.

"If you're here to take over the world, then why the hell are you taking orders from her?" He tossed his head in the direction of Agrona. He was sick of all of this!

Sandria thought she heard some the distant sound of sobs and buried her head in her paws to try and shut it out.

Mikey growled when Igraine began yelling and barking. "Shut up!" He hissed knocking her to the ground, "If you do you'll be able to go see your daddy in one piece and unharmed..... keep barking and you'll meet him bleeding and broken." He glared at her while Cadeyrn went to the other pup to make sure she kept quiet.

"Why you too here?" Rudolf said with a sigh, "Is so and your friend little. Shouldn't me surprise anymore."

Gloriana shrugged. "What can I say. He talked me into having some fun." She said turning to look at who Loki was guarding. The grey male was staring at her and then said something. "Excuse me? Do you wish to say something to me?" She asked shushing Loki as he tried to say something.

Steren shook her head. "Just think of it as a short partnership. I'm only going to listen to her for now. When the time is right I'll strike her and everyone else down." She said blinking.

Nila frowned as she saw that Journey wouldn't stop like they had asked. One of her heads gave a nod to Hecate. The air suddenly dropped in temperature and the ground near Journey began to freeze. In a few seconds Journey and that spot would be frozen solid.

Hecate saw the nod and began opening her second set of eyes. Soon they would capture Journey's fear in case Hecate had to act.

Mnemosyne and Lethe moved close to Mordred. They were about to attack when they saw him preparing himself. "Oh. This is no fun. You must fight back." Mnemosyne cooed.
"Yes. Otherwise you'll make us mad." Lethe continued, "You don't want us to play with you when we're mad." They crouched down and prepared to attack.

Kurogane shook his head at the stream of questions from Garaden. "You ask too many questions." He said turning to look at Lethe, Mnemosyne, and the pups. His eyes narrowed at what he say. "Hey! You two better leave those pups alone!" He said remembering the damage they had caused to the other one. When he saw that they were going to ignore him he growled. "Ferryman! Get over here!" He shout and dashed off to stop the twins. He drew a shuriken from inside his cape/cloak and threw it at the ground before the twins. He arrived a moment later and stood between them and Mordred.

Charon left Hecate's arm and flew over to Garaden. "Looks like I've changed targets." One head muttered. He landed on a branch near Garaden.

Agrona nodded. "Think of it as an introduction." She said turning to look at Ivan, "Ah.... wouldn't you like to know. Well I'll tell you one thing: You'll know it was me and my little army here. It'll be clear as day. A perfect way to dampen the mood of Christmas." She turned back to Atreyu and nodded. "Of course. I'll allow you and your pups to leave peacefully. Anything that happens before you agree.... well it's out of my hands." It was clearly a warning to not only Atreyu but to Odin who she could tell was itching to do more.

Dagger's ears twitched at the sound of someone shrieking 'Daddy' from within the cave and he recognized that voice easily. It was his little girl and he wanted her back. Now. He bent low and snarled at the wolf guarding him.
"Move.aside." He snapped. He was prepared to force his way if he had to.

A way to dampen Christmas? He bit back his urge to tell her he wouldn't make any deal. It was in his nature not to make deals like this but a quick glance at the others; especially at Issac sobbing on the ground and the others locked with opponents wiling to kill told him he had to make it quickly before serious happened. He did, however see a sudden light to this deal and bit back his smirk. He nodded grimly at Agrona and sighed.
"Fine, we will make no move....you have my word...." He winced as those words left him. "Return the children you have stolen from us..."
A shriek of 'Daddy' caught his attention and he growled.
"What's going on?!"

"Oh I'll fight back!" Mordred barked, shooting them both a glare. He was startled by the shuriken that landed before the monstrous looking wolves and suddenly there was an anthro standing between himself and them. He wasn't sure why this male was protecting him when only a moment ago he had been keeping Garaden from moving like the other evil wolves in this field. He glanced up at Kurogane and frowned. "What are you doing?"

Kai scoffed at the alien and whipped his head in the direction of the cave at the sound of the shriek. It was then that he saw Journey trying to make her way into the cave. He noticed the red demonic looking moonlit that had it's eyes set on her and he didn't like the feeling he was getting.
"Don't do anything stupid girl!" He barked at her, fearing they would hurt her.

Just block it all out... block it all out....block it all out...
Sandria continued to chant this mantra over and over as she kept her eyes shut tightly to shield her from the outside world. She had almost succeed in drawing away fully from reality when her sister's piercing shriek erupted from beside her. Sandria's eyes flew open and she hopped to her paws, eagerly looking around for Daddy. No one was there though and Igraine had been knocked to the ground. She went to her sister and pawed at her. She pressed her nose into her sister's fur and whimpered.

Loki looked at Dagger and scoffed. "I don't think so. Besides you'll have your precious kids soon." He said just before Atreyu agreed to meet Agrona's demand, "And see. They'll be out soon." Already he was at Gloriana's side and getting ready to leave.

Gloriana shook her head and rolled her eyes. "So ready to leave." She said, "Should have stayed with your target until we were sure it was safe."

Nila smirked at the ice froze Journey's feet. She had stopped her but it did seem too easy. "It's alright now. She won't be moving for a while now." She said stopping the ice from going any further up. She walked forward and took Hecate's stop. "Time to get the brats."

Charon laughed at Garaden. "And did you ever hear of claws and beaks, dimwit?" He said lifting from the branch and hovering above Garaden with his claws extended.

Hecate grinned and closed her second set of eyes. "Smart choice girlie." She said to Journey, "You probably wouldn't have liked what would have happened to you." She nodded at Nila's words and at Agrona's whistle. She turned and went into the cave. She looked from Mikey and Cadeyrn and then focused on the pups. "Time to go." She said picking up Igraine. She then carried the one princess out and took her to Atreyu. "And one princess safe and sound." She said placing her down.

Cadeyrn picked up Sandria and carried her out with Mikey following. He placed her next to her sister and sat next to his mother. "So he agreed mother?"

Agrona shrugged. "Probably just heard everyone out here and felt like crying out." She said nodding and whistling at his promise, "Then your pups will be returned..... ah. Here are the little princesses. Now you may leave. We have preparing to do." She looked at her son and grinned. "Yes he did my little Pretender."

Lethe and Mnemosyne both growled at Kurogane blocked their path. "Outta our way." They hissed. Once he drew his sword they backed down and moved away. "Fine. Have it your way. We'll just go find some other pup to play with. There are plenty of them out there."

Kurogane shook his head and drew his sword. "I don't think so. Not this one." He said to the twins before speaking to Mordred, "Saving your life kid. They're out for blood and death right now. You'll stand no chance."
