Welcome to Gaia! ::

The light fades slowly dieing out at the circle, which is now faded and burnt but still clearly viewable and can be used a second time. Maxi continues to work his way threw the halls down towards the very cold spot, now with a few hot spots in it. Switching to electromagnetic vision, Maxi checks on what power sources they have running in there, only seeing a few lights computers, and a few unmentionables. As he gets closer, Maxi flips back to thermal imaging, and watches for the door to try his luck, not that he really has any.

Sliding on a patch of ice, Maxi nearly crashes into the door. "This place is worse then 10th, At least there are flames to melt the ice there." He mutters and steadies himself on the door, before trying the handle. "Well that was silly of me to try. Guess I'll make a door then." He declares to himself as he moves about 3 feet to the left and slams his hands into the wall, forcing his alchemic powers to bend the wall into a simple Steel door with a simple handle on its side. "I may be cut off from the others, but I do have my pocket knife and handy dandy notebook," Maxi muses as he stands at the doors, hesitating, something he is not known for or ever even seen doing.

Standing at the doorway, still slightly confused as to how he lost Ryan, Maxi leans against said doorway before standing back straight up and leaning on the wall across the hall, "Why do the evil people always put there labs in such extreme places or conditions? Volcanoes, Submarines, Subzero containment areas..." He trails off smirking, Guess it would keep people out. His thought dies there as he pulls out a small dinner roll, wrapped in plastic, and unwraps it before taking a small bite out of it. "F&$% Sand! Even in my F&$% roll!" Maxi shouts in frustration,but continues to slowly eat the roll.

Evil entered the Maniak Wing. She looked around, her eyes sharp. It seemed quiet. She strode forward, wondering where she should go next.

((Writer's Block. >.< ))

Saiko followed the girls, entering the dark wing full of shadows. It felt familiar to him, and everything had the scent of death. It all kept bringing him back to the fight on Earth with the espada long ago. Everything about that thing spelled death, even this place...
"Apperantly she must have Ashy-chan, he looked me dead in the eye and said Aizen's name. Its a wonder we weren't engaged, but now just look where we are." he said.
Saiko's words echoed in the shadows, as the walked deeper into what seemed just to be a vast connection of hallways.

"Yes, I knew him Ashley. He used to be an old friend of mine." She said.

And then the Espada appeared. She burst out laughing at his statement.

"My, my, a little cocky aren't we?" She snickered.

"All I need for you to tell me is where the Shinigami hostages are being held. Then, we'll take our leave." She said. She wasn't intimidated by this espada. She wasn't weak. She was a Captain, a Zaigou, practically made for destroying these beings. But maybe she'd pump him for some information before she disposed of him.

Saiko's blade touched the arrancar's neck, this was a simple warning from Saiko, whose red eyes were fixed on the back of the Espada's head.
"Evil made a massacre of your failed mutants downstairs, do not antagonize this any further, or I will do the same to you here and now." Saiko said plainly.
He did not take kindly to people making threatening advances towards gotei Captains, especially not in his presence. He did not incrase his reiatsu, and apperantly was straining and making sure to keep it concealed... which was odd considering his usual nature of broadcasting his reiatsu abundancy.

Hawk watched the shinigami Captain's movements, and even though she was not resembling the form she took before, she was still the same fighter none the less. He understood the concept of Zaigou, and hated the very core of their existance. Watching Evil allow this presence to take hold and guide her hammer made him sick, and even worse, she dared to use their own variation of the negative spirit attack on him. Hawk narrowed his eyes, and kicked the ground, sliding smoothly backwards at an alarming speed, keeping a foot's distance between him and the reido coming at him.
"Cero." He said, flicking his wrist upwards at the reido, and it was immediately cancelled out in the same fashion that Zaigou used so often.

"Do not think that your tricks are going to do anything woman, because I have much too much willpower to allow what you are to defeat me." he said coldly.
Hawk's yellow eyes narrowed at Evil's black ones, as he peered into her Zaigou soul it seemed. His voice carried a sadistic nature, and moving as slowly as he pleased, he pulled out his lance, flicking the very tip of it, sending a sharp ring through the hallway. The only reason he struck it like that, was because he knew that Evil was part werewolf, and would not like such a high-pitched tone reaching her sensative ears.
"So don't make a fool of yourself by putting your dirty little foot in that filthy mouth of yours." Hawk smiled to himself a wicked smile under his muzzle-mask.
"Because just to tell you now, I'm not going to be another pushover; you will have to work for your 'meal' if you wish to survive."
