Welcome to Gaia! ::

Anna stopped pacing. The wheels of her mind were turning.
" Yes, I suppose. But, I'm doubtful. Oh well, it will at least give me something to think about for the time being."
What form would be least noticeable? Probably some sort of insect. Or a tiny bird. And she would need to go fast. That leaned to the bird side.
Anna flit over to the abandoned book. She began to carefully flip the pages with her beak, trying to search out something that might work right.
' A-Anna, are we really gonna do this?' Adrianna thought as she finally began to catch onto what Anna had been talking about.
' Perhaps. Not right now, but it might be a good idea to be prepared, in any case,' Anna thought back, pausing to consider the picture of a chickadee. It didn't seem to work out in her mind, as Anna soon began to turn pages again.

A bright flash of light filled the sky over the Academy when Kir fought valiantly against the Angel's Eclipse's sister. The light could practically be seen even in the quarantine chambers, it was that bright.
"Don't tell me that thing is on the go again," Rick said and walked to a window. There he saw a small black speck in the distance holding the attack at bay, "No way..." Rick wouldn't believe it, so he took a pair of binoculars and looked again. Sure enough, it was KIERAN, "He's not too far away now. Looks like I might have sent those hunters on a wild goose chase. Better go and see if they've left yet," Rick turned to leave, "Come on Chase. You might be able to help in securing KIERAN."

Rick wasn't startled by Leonard's appearance, "You know what? I think you are more of a solo fighter. What do you say about going and securing KIERAN for me? I'll keep the other hunters on their little goose chase for now," Rick said, "And if Chase wants to follow then he will in due time. Towards the source of that light and you'll find him. He's probably weakened now," He pointed out the window, towards Zen's Castle.

"This is going to be better than I thought," Rick laughed and decided to walk to the quarantine chambers again. That was where he knew Leonard would bring KIERAN first.

Bradley and Lunair finally made it to the Academy. It was below them, "Here's the damn place," He said.

Rick watched both Bradley and Lunair enter the quarantine chamber, "Well well. That one's back too. Excellent. I wanted a better body," He walked over and pressed a botton. The quarantine chambers experienced lockdown. The doors slammed shut. The room was built to withstand a lot of magic. The only thing known to have destroyed it was KIERAN.

Anna had stopped turning pages. She had stopped on a page that showed a bird that was possibly the smallest in the world. A bee hummingbird.
But, of course, another thought had occurred to Anna right after she discovered the tiny bird. Wouldn't just replacing a scientist be more efficient? Or perhaps one of the guards? Anna wanted to slap herself, but it was impossible with her feathered wings. She let Adrianna have control again so she could brainstorm in silence.

The first thing Adrianna did once she was in control was transform back into her child form. The bird of paradise was just too darn uncomfortable in a metal cage.

Lunair glanced around at all of the innocent people. he had to get them out... he had to. he wasnt able to withstand the impulse. he would do anything to protect them... he had to... at that thought though, his band began to glow.
