Night grinned at her blushing and nodded
"Yeah, I had that same problem. Got some guy with a loaded bike who fired a rocket at one of the entrances, and something disappated the explosion."

Night blinked at her question
"Uh, no. Didn't have one on hand... Though if the rockets lack of effect is any indication, I'm not sure what good a tank would do... However..."

wanta try one? sweatdrop redface *she turned around and looked at a slightly open area behind them, frowning as a small dark spot appeared in the air* Now where did I put it....
*the dark hole grew and grew till it was more than large enough for the both of them to walk through, side by side* ah-ha!...
*she smiled up at him and pointed in at the darkness*.. there it is, I'm sorry but I have no idea how to drive the thing sweatdrop
*A pair of large white whisps started to glow in the darkness of the void, slightly illuminating a very large and strangly shapped armored vehicle* I know it is not exactly a tank, I got it from Dante a while back.. and well.. he never did tell me how to use it sweatdrop

He shrugged slightly" Uh, sure..." One of Nights eyebrows raised as he watched the dark spot grow, wondering what she had in mind. When she pointed in he tried to see what it was she was pointing at, but all he could see was pitch black...
Until the wisps illuminated the object.
If it was possible for his jaw to hit the ground, it would have when he saw what she had been pointing at. But he merely cleared his through and blinked to hide his surprise.
Then he looked down at her, reaching a hand out to cup her chin and he leaned down to kiss her full on the lips" You know, I really do love you babe." Not thinking about anything else, he walked into the dark hole and up to the bipedal armored vehicle, running his hand over the smooth, cold, metal of it. He paused at the rear of it as he tried to remember how to open it, recalling a time when he had used one. His hand found a button and back of the mech popped open and swung up with a hissing noise and Night climbed in.
After another several minutes of him having disappeared into the cockpit of the mech, the back swung close and there was the noise of gears moving with the slight groan of not being used for a while as it stood up straight.
It took a step forward, wavered for a moment, then dropped to a knee, being the only thing keeping it upright, and a curse could be heard from inside" Damn this thing is more difficult to control then I remembered..." It pushed itself back to it's feet, and once he was satisfied it was stable, he took a step forward again. This time it didn't fall, so he took another step, and when he was confident that he had remembered how to control it, he moved rapidly out of the dark hole.
As it took two steps out of the hole, the ground rumbled, and anyone who looked that way would see this: " Just like riding a bike."

Eien squeezed Arina's hand well the young woman cried out, a doctor was below the tanned woman, it was time and her baby had come. Sooner than the eiehian maiden thought honestly. "Push Arina!! Push!!! Come on!!!!"the grey haired doctor grunted out to her, trying to be as gentle as possible but he was tired and his mood was wearing thin.
Arina squeezed Eien's hand to the point of crushing it, but the pale woman's face still had her mask of utter serenity held on her ethereal features. Reaching out with her other hand, Eien wiped the sweat pouring down her friend's face. Yet something seemed off by how the swell in Arina's stomach seemed to be sideways than anything else. Since before the birthing had taken it's full effect this had bothered Eien. What could it be? Then it hit her... oh sweet sins and virtues, the baby was not turned right!?
Just as this entered into her mind, the doctor shook his head glancing to her and then Arina. "...damn it... we have a slight problem here... Arina are you feeling an extreme tighteness within your stomach or kidneys?"he asked in a hurry.
"Y..y..y..y..y.es....I...I do..."Arina choked out with heavy tearstains on her cheeks. Choking on sobs well Eien held her hand, and letting a small whimper then for "...Ceres...it hurts..."
Eien patted and squeezed her hand tightly and gave her a small reassuring smile in hopes it would help, and it did slightly as Arina's chocolate eyes lit up a little. Glancing back, she took Arina's hand and placed it on the side of the bed. Making her hold onto the bedside before she placed to a slender finger to Arina's lips as she looked at her in great pain and confusion. The doctor glanced up and looked to Eien with a raised eyebrow, asking "Do you have mid-wife experience, I can tell from that herb bag of yours?"
Eien nodded before getting up and coming around to the other side and washing her hands, the doctor trying to calm now a scared and almost screaming Arina. They didn't have much time as Eien grabbed a small knife that lay on the doctor's table. Already clean and ready, before she pushed the doctor out of the way slightly and reaching to Arina. Within a moment, the soft tissue of flesh is heard being torn and Eien's arms are seen moving around for a moment. Arina release a defeated breath and relaxes as the small babe slips into Eien's slender arms. Nodding to the doctor, his jaw is dropped open before he quickly comes to his senses. Returning to Arina's side and sewing up the torn tissue that Eien had to cut.
Walking to the basin that was prepared, she places the baby in and washes the blood off. Just as she pats the baby's back firmly yet gently. A load cry echoes within the tent, even though the babe is small it makes up for it in lung size. After finishing with the washing Eien, nods to a nurse that came by and seeing her finish. Leaving for a moment then coming back with fresh linen, the nurse cuts the cord for Eien revealing a healthly baby boy.
Eien places the squirming crying child on the clothe and swaddles it. Wrapping it tightly and firmly for warmth and to be secure. Picking up the boy she returns to the crying Arina's side, thick tears of joy streaming down her face well she starts to feed her new born son with Eien's help. Ugh, the balance being should know how to do this by now, how many children did she have? Kissing Arina's brow and then her sons, she cocks her head curious now of what the woman feeding her child will call him.
"...Adam....that was his father's name...Adam..."
She spoke softly before glancing up to Eien as if reading her thoughts, and Eien nodded in approve. A fine name as she smiles to her, sitting down again well the doctor cleans up with the rest of his doings. Before glancing to Eien, taking note of her for next time. There were too many pregnany women here, she might be of some help with what she just did.
Eien glanced to him and nodded, as he asked "And your name Miss?"he addressed Eien.
"Her name is Ceres, I sorta named her since she is mute."Arina replies for Eien and the pale woman is grateful for that.
The doctor nods to Eien and Arina before checking the baby's heartbeat and vital signs, all showing great health. "If you need anything just request for me, Dr. Layer or Dr. Aimes."Nodding to the woman he stares at the baby and Eien for a moment longer before disappearing into the crowd of nurses.
Eien smiled but winced inside, the excitement had upset the baby of her own, Rev was not happy to be awake and replied in her own way. A massive of kicks.
A nurse came by a moment later, the same one who got the linen for Eien and gave they both some soup and bread. Arina happy and hungry as Eien feed her so she would not have to put down Adam and then feeding herself. Sighing then she glances around, one down.... a lot more to go...
The doctor glanced back a moment later, jaw nearly dropping as he looked to where Eien's shadow was supposed to be. How in the hell could that woman not have one?! Shaking his weary head, he placed a large hand on his temple. He was working way too hard, it was time for retirement.

Eien stood at the entrance of the tent looking out, Arina was sleeping now as the usually buzz of the tent seemed to intensify for some strange reason. Something was going on at the stadium as people wandered by and by, some hurrying to the edge of the encampment to hear out of the news. Placing a hand on her swollen stomach, she bite her lower lip what could she do to help? If the time came she would show, if not she would remain here and tend to the wounded.
A small tug on her pant leg had her look down to a child the age of five looking up at her with wide blue eyes. Sucking her thumb slightly as she took Eien's hand. Eien squeezed it in support before looking out again. Her star shining somewhat under the clothe covering her brow.

Fuin was ambling blindly through the dense forest, just at it's edge furthest from the Stadium. Every now and again she paused for breath, leaning heavily on a tree trunk as she ran a hand through her hair, shaking off the sweat she collected.
The shadow girl felt almost as if she was burning up from the inside out. With a grunt she pushed herself off the trunk and continued to stumble her way through the forest leaving a ribbon of shadow behind her where it had effectively torn off from her hand without her realising, almost as if she was falling apart.
If she could she would have shadow melded but a few hours previously she had been forced quite violently and painfully to resurface. She shuddered slightly as the firey burning with her turned to a sudden icy cold.
"Eh... Hurts..."
She huffed as she leant with her back against a trunk once more and hung her head in her hands, shutting her eyes tight and rubbing them in an attempt to clear her vision which burnt with the sweat that dripped into her eyes.
Once more she stumbled forwards, flinching as a large piece of shadow ripped from her back. Pretty soon, with the stopping and starting she would start to look a bit like a jigsaw with some pieces missing. A human figure with patches of pitch black showing where there should have been skin or clothing. She paused once more and this time thought she heard voices.
"Someone... there?"
She whispered almost to herself as she pushed herself back up onto her feet and promptly fell forwards onto her face from exhaustion just a few yards from the camp full of survivors from the Stadium.

Her head whipped to the east side of the encampment sensing out to something, and her silver eyes widened before grabbing the passing Dr. Layers hand and taking off.
He let out a startled cry before stumbling to keep up with the surprisingly fast pregnant woman. Pushing throught the crowds of people going the other way, she sees a man waving to them and pointing to something right next to him.
Coming to the clearing, Eien's eyes widened before seeing that of a fallen girl almost seemingly to be clothed in shadows. Taking the doctors hand they both knee to her and Eien places a hand on her brow. Looking as the doctor examines her, the pale hand starts to glow a pale silver reaching out into the mind of the girl. Just to calm her mind as Eien summoned the balancing threads.
It was strange out some of her skin and clothes were missing but this did not alarm Eien as she softly, traced her hand down. The doctor now stopping and his jaw open as threads appeared the woman. They were fine and a shimmering black and shadowed grey. The balancing threads of the woman. Seeming to fill in some of the gaps before her long lashes shut in concentration. Letting the threads weave in and out of the holes, slowly filling and reworking the torn shadowed holes.

It would all happen so quickly, not even in the blink of an eye as Eien's mind would be flooded full of strange, confusing and conflicting images. Memories of a small purple haired cat girl playing in the woods, of the Angel Senshi's GSF missions, of a black topped hat warrior and his feelings for the Senshi as well as the feelings she returned to him.
Then there was blank.
None of the memories contained the girl she would see before her. Where she should have found her own memories she found others instead. And then, after the blank came a much shorter series of flashing images. Of Unsane the ice elemental, Terri the fire demon, Fuin learning to control and manipulate her shadow powers she had inherited from the shadow crystal that had created her. From this short series of memories and thoughts it could be assumed, that dispite the girls appearance she was indeed only a few months old, a year at the oldest.
Suddenly, as she reached the shadow girls own mind a huge wall of pitch black would erect suddenly, forcing the intruding woman out with what would feel like a sharp and firey slap as Fuin struggled to keep her mind shut, her breath becoming ragged as her eyes flickered open and she gazed giddily up at Eien. Her vision was blurred and fuzzy though the pregnant bump drifted into her vision and if Eien had somehow managed to stay hanging onto Fuin's mind she would feel a sudden urge of survival instainct as Fuin's hand shot up in one swift motion to touch lightly at the swollen skin with each finger and thumb tip before suddenly dropping back down to the earth, the effort of lifting her arm draining what energy she had left.
What happened as her hand dropped back down to the leafy earth would probably give Eien the feeling like she had crushed ice swirling in her stomach but not much else. As the fingers slipped away from contact with her swollen belly, each would have a ribbon of black attached to it, seemingly drawn out from within the woman's own being. Indeed this was true for those ribbons represented her unborn child's shadow.
These ribbons collected together in Fuin's palm, swirling in a mass as they melded together forming a small glittering black stone. There would be little time to admire it as the skin on Fuin's hand peeled away to reveal a blackness underneath which rapidly absorbed the gem into itself, ribbons of shadow flailing about the crystal urgently as it disappeared and the shadows rippled over her palm, recreating her skin.
There was a few seconds of silence as Fuin did not more.
Then, her eyes flew open and she arched her back, her face screwed up in pain as she took in several deep ragged gasps.
"Eeeyyaa~~" she whimped tearfully, the innocence of the child had imprinted the crystal with some light which proved painful to the shadow girl but slowly her breathing became more regular and her body relaxed.
Wips of shadow were called forth from the forest surroundings, from trees and plants and they acted almost like band aids, stretching out over the bare black patches that littered the girls body and absorbing into her to fill them.

Her long lashes fluttered shut as the clothe from her brow came undone falling to the ground as the silver eighteen pointed star plused on her temple with the images that flushed her mind. Biting her lower pale pink lip, Eien stopped in her motions of the balancing threads and with a simple wave of her left hand, they sunk back into the star-soul of the girl. Dipping her head down, she let the emotions and picture rush over her.
Like watching a movie in fast motion but you were in it and by her side. Feeling her being pushed out, she opened her eyes at the same time as the girl. Staring back into her eyes with brillant rainbow prism irises this time, before gasping out as a feeling of ice chills ran down her spine and deep within her womb. Revolution kicked within her slightly well the thin ebony shadowy ribbons appeared from her child and to the girl when she placed her hand on her swollen stomach.
The doctor watched with wide eyes as the gem appeared and formed in her hand, then disappearing within the shadowed darkness that was her hand. Eien's face was just blank before watching as the girl's eyes snap open again and she arched her back, and as she did Eien wrapped an arm around under it to help support her. Letting out silent cooes, even though the girl could not see it. Turning her head she watched as the shadows crawled to her broken form before patching and slowly filling the holes, summoning the threads again with her hand.
She weaved them over her, seeing to seal what she could for now unless the girl would need different attention but this would help. Her threads were strong and healthy as each shadows brightened there darkness more and more. Looking down and seeing her let out a small whimper, she smiled at the noise. It showed she was somewhat alert and there.
Looking to the doctor she nodded, letting out a silent growl for him to get help to carry the girl back to a tent. The doctor got to his feet and ran to the nearest tent before grabbing another man, and coming back. They waited until the patches were filled and she made some kind of reponse before going onward.
Reaching up Eien stroked her cheek softly, gently summoning the threads back within the girl's star-soul. Biting her lip in worry for the next step.

Fuin was only faintly aware of anything going on around her, flinchin slightly as the men lifted her and carried her forwards into the tent. All she knew was that her form was slowly becoming more stable again now that her shadow crystal heart and been restrengthened after collapsing when it was recalled as Maximos' soul disappeared to the other side.
Once she was placed within the tent and the doctor left momentarily to find his examination kit. As he walked out the tent Fuin's body began to twitch and her face contorted in pain as her eyes opened.
"Ha... Ha..." she panted, her vision swirling as her eyes rolled as she looked around, "Guess... it can't be... helped..."
Her gaze fell on Eien and she smiled reaching a hand up towards her.
"Please... Don't run... away..."
Her outstretched hand wavered and Fuin's face suddenly fell peaceful, her chest ceasing to rise and fall and her head lolled to one side. To all intents and purposes she was dead, or at least her life force had become frozen.
In one solid burst of energy Fuin effectively exploded into many various ribbons of shadow of different shapes and sizes. They remained suspended in mid air, circling the tiny shadow crystal she had formed earlier as if the whole mechanism was suspended on strings before the shadow strands were sucked up into the crystal and it dropped to the floor with a soft tinkle. Fuin had completely disappeared.
If Eien picked up the crystal it would feel slightly warm and pulsating to the touch.
