Welcome to Gaia! ::

Anna sighed and walked over to the edge of the roof. 'Now she's all fight happy' There was no way Zero was going to listen to her and the fight didn't look to be anything too serious, so she wasn't going to brother. If Zero wasn't going to tap in to whatever she had going on in her, Anna wasn't going to intervene. She looked up at the building next to them. It was made of beautiful brick and taller then the one they were standing on. The roof wasn't too terribly higher than theirs, but enough that someone would have to give a hefty jump to reach it. She spun around loosely, almost floating, only to be hit with the first wave of energy. She flew into the wall behind her and before gravity could even think about letting her fall, another wave smacked her against it again. As she fell her body twisted, landing her on her back to the alley below. She winced. "Yeah. I'm going to need Merlin after that." She looked up at the roof where everyone was. 'Hopefully they weren't as foolishly off guard as me. Probably won't hurt them as much.' Her eyes then fluttered to the wall she was thrown into. 'With how many walls we destroy, you'd think someone would make us contractors, learn how to fix them.' She saw how some bricks threaten to fall and she thought it best to get up. As she tried to do so, she gasped in pain and quickly forgot that plan. "Or I could chuck them over to where that power came from. Hopefully I'll hit Hotaru," she said almost bitterly sarcastic.

((It's like Anna's the center of attention now... It's weird... I don't like it!!! Although, admittingly I should have thought of that before I had her slam into a brick wall... yea, looking back now, that does seem kind of like an obvious after shock...))

Anna smiled. 'I like... them.' "How am suppose to know what he was thinking? Hotaru's always been on the unpredictable side, no matter how much you get to know him." She winced heavily as she slowly sat up. "I'll be fine," she said taking her head into her hands. "Just need to see Merlin." 'Give him another reason to worry.'

“Goodness!” Aerith exclaimed, stumbling the rest of the way in the door to Merlin's. She cast a glance back over her shoulder at the outside before she shut the door with her foot, hurrying over to the table to set down the grocery bag before the potion-soaked bottom decided to give way. “Something awfully big is going on outside,” the flower girl shuddered a little, “Something Dark.”

[[brought Aerith back in yeah! 8D]]

Merlin looked up from his book to Leon very solemnly. He gave one nod and looked over to the door to watch Aerith come in. He smiled warmly at her. "Hello! Yes, there is something quite queer going on outside." He looked through the nearest window and then back. "Yes, well, what do we have here?" he asked looking at the soaked bag.

Anna carefully and slowly shook her head as the next wave went by. 'What is he doing?' She looked at Zero actually obeying for once and smiled up at the... odd couple. "I could get use to having you around."

((Is just me or is a certain male keyblade holder begging for Sir and Sarah to come at a faster rate? Oh! They coming while Anna's recovering!! Ideeea!!))

He chukled a little. "Hey, once I find a way to seperate myself from Italy here..."

'Watch it Car-Boy!'

"I may just stick around." He shrugged. "Not like I got any where better to be."

"How about just dead?" Zero grumbled.

"Mmm, been there, not as fun as you may think. Rather boring, lots of dark endlessness." He grinned cockily at her back.

Jistin hung back, trailing along after the others, unsure of where she was going. Those waves of Dark energy and the boy they came from made her uneasy, Tsubasa, someone who had been her best friend made her uneasy, even Axel, to an extent, made her uneasy. She cast her hazel eyes away from the group, bangs falling to obscure her view. 'Maybe Riku was right. Maybe I'm not ready for this kind of adventure yet,' she thought. It was true, Riku had tried to keep her from going, while Sora and Kairi had been totally gung-ho on her having an adventure of her own. Sora had even argued that now might probably be the safest time to go, not too long after he'd saved the worlds yet again, it was how they'd convinced Riku to let her go. But...seeing Tsubasa again had thrown her world into a tizzy, and she didn't know what she wanted anymore.

"Hm, that's what I thought," Aerith muttered in agreement, covering her mouth with her fist in thought, "But these two most definately knew each other at some point. She called Zero by a different name even, and for someone to just come out of the blue like that and know her...it's very odd."

Leon sighed as he watched everyone pour in. "So.....what are you all doing here....His voice trailed off when he saw Anna's condition. "And just what happened to you?!" He looked at the two new comers. "I just have two questions. One, did either of you do that to her? And Two, where the hell is that hothead?" He crossed his arms as he leaned against the nearest wall, and waited for an answer.

((For fear of being hit, because someone has a large temper, I can not comment on that question......*Gets smacked with Hotaru's keyblade.* Yeah, you shouldn't have said that either, moron....))

((I get no love from my character.......*cries a little*))

((Don't worry, unless you're my brother, that guy from band, or playing video games with me, then I don't really have a temper. Although I am getting an overwhelming urge to give Hotaru a high five, despite. smile ))

Anna gladly took the chair and Merlin came over and started fussing over her, Anna every once in awhile tried to pathetically bat him away. "Merlin," she whispered. "I've been through worse."

"Not in four years you haven't! And what does she mean that Hotaru did this to you?"

"He didn't mean it, and I'm sure he wasn't trying to, but I was off guard so it flung me back. And I'm pretty sure she's a he right now." Merlin looked at Itilia/Axel confused and then shook his head.

"Of course they are. What was it that flung you back anyways?"
