Welcome to Gaia! ::

Xagetta listened to every thing Chains said, truly trying to understand what he was explaining, but once again he pulled the "death's" card and lost his temper for a moment. "OK, that's it, I'm trying as hard as I can to hear what you have to say. Yet at every turn, you go out of your way to piss me off, if your trying to get on my good side you're not doing a damn good job of it. You keep pinning that s**t on me, but you know what? I know something you CAN'T blame on me. For example, I didn't force your hand in the city, I didn't take over the peoples minds like puppets just to prove a point, I didn't make them cause a riot just to get our attention. I didn't put that mark on their necks and made them do as I please. You say I'm the bad guy, when your no less a monster your self, you can rant and rave all about God and his screw ups all you like but your still just a demon. You keep telling me that were evil, that we have brought too much attention to our selves, but your the one who seems to be showing off quite a bit your self. Didn't you think that because of your choices here, that you had put your self on their map as well? If what you said is true, then wouldn't they see you as the bigger threat? You say that the longer I live, the more chaos I create, but what have you done lately?" After his questions, he took a breather to calm down, he didn't want any one else to die because of him or rather because of Chains.

Having said what he wanted he began to think about all chains had said, though at first he didn't really care, but having given it some thought it began to make sense to him. Up till now he never questioned why he existed, it never mattered to him, for a demon life was simple. In hell, you fought, you lived or you died. It was just the matter of when and by who. But up here, he began to feel and see things in a different light. As he thought this he looked at him self, examining his appearance, he realized just how much he had changed. The figure on his body, the skin, the clothes and the hair were never really his. Sure he may have looked human in hell, but that's because he chose to look that way. So what if he was real or not, that didn't matter to him. At that moment, he smiled wide, a rather joyous smile. He even began laughing, not out of spite of taunting, but at actual peace of mind.

"Your right, every thing about me, about this Xagetta is a lie. The hair, the face, the clothes. Even the voice is a lie. As for the powers, I cant really tell you, cause the fact is I don't know either. It's said that we demons are descended from angels that fell from heaven, but even I don't know if that's true or not, and I'm not sure if any one else does either. But asking why did god make us, is like asking why people make up stories and fairytales. Just because they have no truth to them, doesn't mean they aren't real, its just a matter of if you chose to believe them. That's the one thing that God gave us all, the power of choice. For example, I could look like Arnold Schwarzenegger or Silvester Stallone if I wanted, but I choose to look like this. God and the Devil, Heaven and Hell, non of that matters to me any more. If you asked me if to choose between living here, or go back to hell, I would choose living here every time. And you want to know why, because in hell I had nothing, not even a real life. I just lived from day to day, killing and fighting what ever I could, not for the demon king or the elders but because it made me feel good like I had some sort of meaning. Sure I was a ruthless, cut-throat, blood thirsty b*****d who's only pleasure in life was to butcher any thing in my path. But then I came here, and met all these people. Yeah, at first I planned on using them as much as possible, then leaving them to rot. But the more I was around them, the more I began to understand them, and in time they saw me as something more then just a demon."

At this point, he began to look around to his friends, still keeping that smile on his face. "In the short time I have been here, they became something important to me, up here they gave me something better than any thing I had in hell. They gave me a reason to live, they made me who I am, and I would choose this Xagetta any day in the week. You say I will be the chaos of all human kind, that my being here will cause more deaths, if that's the case then every human is the same kind of threat. You keep making me out to be the worst evil of all kind, in another life I would have agreed with you, but you know what? I would bare any pain, any grief that comes our way, because they are worth it." At this point is when Chains had turned to Kiara, that's when he over heard what he said to her. What could he have meant? What did he have against Edward, and just how long had he been watching them? He was getting annoyed how Chains seemed to know every thing about them, yet played him self off like some saint, it kind of reminded him of Armageddon.
((Sorry guys, I know this has been a pain on you all, hell I wish this one wasn't as long as it is. sweatdrop ))

Kiara shook her head, refusing what he was saying. Her eyes opened to Chains grinn and she didn't move. Maybe he was trying to figure out what would happen if nothing was here... At his question her expression got defensive, what did he have to do with anything? "Y-yes." She answered him hesitantly, not sure what that one sylable would effect. Her eyebrows creased together perplexed, and she slowly moved her head back when he touched her, only pulling against the chain so she didn't anymore. Her eyes closed once again like she didn't know what was going to happen. What are you talking about? It was an anxious thought, and it wasn't even sure if Chains could here it with pshyical contact or not, but the words also moved on her lips, just without the sound.

Envi had taken a half-step towards Kiara when Chains touched her on the forehead. Her hand gripped on the gun but she didn't act. She probably wouldn't be able to. She didn't say anything. Just waited for what would happen.

"I could give a s**t if I was on you GOOD side...Well-" Chains paused for a moment, with a small smirk on his face, as if he got a new respect for Xagetta "You are right...But what you don't understand is-This isn't about my Sins at this moment-It's about yours. Consequences-Their a pain in the a** aren't they? As your speaking-Your self-destructing. I can see it all know-I've told you already, and you've seen first hand on what happens when you don't listen-People die. I've already come too terms with what will happen too me in the end-But I still don't believe you have, Xagetta. You've said earlier, that you belive you'll live a peaceful life with your friends-Like hell you will." Chains continued listening as Xagetta spoke too him, and he replied "Thats a good question: The difference between me showing my self off is very simple-I'm always traveling, always in hiding-and even when they find me-It's not like they can kill me. My place among the supernatural world is a speaker, some one who try's to mind my own business-When I can that is. Besides-Do you really think I'm a loner-All on my own in this big world? I basically took over hell the day I went there-No Elder dare to fight me as I conqured-and the ones who would listen follow me-And do you know why?...It's because I speek the truth-and they know it. On my time here on earth-I led maruding groups of supernatural, and that was when I was human too! I'm not the only one searching for answers-I'm just the head of the flock. I don't know any one else who is stupid enough too get in my way beside you guys." Chains laughed, knowing what he just said was extremely narcasistic. He stopped laughing right after Xagetta said his last peace. His expression became extremely serious-almost as if he was angered by what he had said "Well well-Good for ******** you. So you could care less about God and Satan-Well than. I suppose you don't give a s**t if all of a sudden-He ripped everything that mattered too you away into the void. If you were a person born too make a difference in this world-Someone who would help-And then-Everything is evaporated. Everything is gone-and your left in the darkness, waiting for any sign that you have a purpose, but no one picks up the phone. WHY SHOULD I NOT QUESTION THE ONES WHO RUN THIS PIECE OF s**t WORLD! WHY DO I NOT GET A SAY IN WHAT HAPPENS IN MY LIFE?! WHY-" At this point Chains began to breath heavy-and the earth seemed to began to shake-an Aura like no other began to leave from the earth. So powerful it was. Chains looked up too see everyone staring at him. At that moment everything stopped-and the aura was concealed. Even though the aura was extremely poweful-It wasn't his full power. A small grin came across his face "Got Ya! Ha!...Sorry about that-I just wanted too see how you guys would act if I yelled and did that. Not like me huh? Sorry 'bout that, brothers and sisters." He looked at Xagetta once more "All you need too do is listen brother, I know what's best in this world. I know you think your wiser because your much older than me-But you weren't raised in the world we live in today. So just listen." Chains began to reveal something only Kiara could see at first-But then everyone else could see at that point, and here his voice. It was a field of vast and tall grass. There stood two people. One a Ryu no longer recognized, and Edward hart. Ryu was crying-as he continued to swing his sword and fists at Edward. This is possibly my favorite scene in this part of the book-I find it so cool how Edward could just dodge his attacks with that placid face. At that moment, after Ryu kept screaming about his brother Edward, shut him up and swung his fist so hard, it pounded Ryu into the ground. Ryu haven't at least a broken Rib stood up, continuing to yell. Man-That guy dosen't quit does he? He just keeps getting up after getting wasted. Again Ryu was pounded into the floor, and again, and again, and again. Still each time he stood up, with blood rushing from cuts on his body, and he was still crying-he Looked as if he was going to pass out. This is the grand finale! Watch this. Edward began to concentrate on one of his powers. Ryu's eyes went wide. At this point, everyone could see what Edward did-Through Ryu's point of view. Ryu saw a place in darkness-The full moon was high-It was in a forest. His brother, Akino stood there Looking out in the moon light, walking around with his katana sheathed, with the tatoo-that same tattoo that Chains had, and all of his possessions. At that point, Edward Hart prounced from the darkness-and bit Akino-right on the tattoo Blood-began pouring from his wound and Akino tried to pull his blade out, though Edward held his right hand-so he couldn't grab it. Akino couldn't even scream as his own blood began to suffocate him. He began to throw his fists at Edward, trying as hard as he could to escape the attack alive-but Edward just-He just Ripped him to shreads-clawing, bitting, ripping-eradicating him. Look at Edward Go at it! Oh man-that is priceless. At that point, everything returned back to the endless fields and Ryu was kneeling down, holding his head, screaming at the scene that played over, and over again. At that point, Ryu took his gun out and prepared to kill himself just too stop the visions-but was too scared to pull the trigger, and passed out-and Ryu was knocked out in the fields... The scene blacked out-and everything was back in present time. It was quiet at first, and then Chains broke the scilence and Chains released Kiara from his chains and stared at them all "Is that who your helping escape certain death?" He then looked over at Envi especially "Looks familiar dosen't it?" His voice was quiet and his face placid. He than directed his voice to Kiara "Is that who you love?...If so-You may preceed-and only you kiara, right too the fourth floor." He looked over to Xagetta and the rest of them, still waiting for Kiara's answer "I'm not done with the rest of you just yet-After I'm done, you may follow Kiara too the top floor, but you all have too listen." He looked back at kiara with a small grin "What do ya say? Do you love him?"

"HE IS SO GAY HE DOESN"T EVEN LIKE BOYS>>> VLAD DOESN"T COUNT AS A BOY!!!!!"

((Thats what I waited for ??? stare stare stare ))

Xagetta decided to ignore Sakura for the time being, hell he didn't even want to talk to her in the first place, he just listened and watched in horror. He took it all in, Ryu's pointless assault, Edward's constant retaliations, even his attack on Ryu's brother. All of it burned into the back of his eyes, forgoing all conversation, he concentrated on what he saw. But of all things, what struck out at him most, was the mark on Akino's neck. The exact same mark that Chains now bore, where Kiara had decided to ignore it, he took notice of it. Coupled with his display of power, which was long over due, he began to realize just what he was up against. There was no way that mark could have been on Akino's neck even before he died, either that was an illusion, or chains was more then he was letting on.

Xagetta was now in a state of panic, his whole body shook, and not from the tremors but in actual fear. He swallowed hard to try and get his voice back, he had to know, he had to know who chains really was. "Who are you? No more games, no more lies, no more speeches. Who...are...you? There is no way you could have been here that long, not if your as old as you say you are. Much less the fact that you took over hell so easily, nor is it possible for you to be this powerful. So who the hell are you?" This was a plain and simple question, no more grand standing, no foolish jokes. True he didn't know Edward from that far back, but that's not what he was talking about, sure the mark had been old but if chains was the first to claim it then how could Akino have it? There was more to this then Chains was letting on.

Takeshio wasn't all that shocked, because he had been the one too find Akino's ripped apart corpse right after Edward attacked. Still though, it was hard to watch the actual scene. Listening to Chains his eyes grew wide at that last sentence "Wait...No-It can't be you." Takeshio had an expression of extreme shock. That name! The Tatoo! It all adds up, but still-that can't be-How could it? "You died along time ago-You ran away from the quarantine zone, and the Lycans got you...It can't be."
