Welcome to Gaia! ::

Axl: *lets out a long breath and lays on his back* I guess it is..... *Axl's obviously got his mind on something besides the sky*

Axl: *sighs and looks straight at the sky* Just that everything keeps crashing down now. I never thought I'd see it all happen. Originally I was just coming to visit and see my dad and Aeris since I heard she was pregnant *frowns* Then all this happened. I haven't seen my dad at all.... all I want to do is talk to him and figure out why he's doing this. I just want to know what the hell all this is for....

TJ: *His voice is heard no more than 6 metters from the two* Don't wish for something unless you're ready for it at the same moment you want it.... *He leans against a tree. Paopei covering his eyes, metal wings covering his entire front, and his weapons floating around him*

Axl: *bolts up and stares at him*......... You only show up now?

TJ: Of course. I suppose I owe it to you

Axl: *gets to his feet* Damn right you do!! Do you know about everything that's happening!?

TJ: Yes. I know all about it..... but it doesn't bother me

Axl: But how can you just sit by and watch all of it!? Aren't they your friends!?

TJ: Maybe they are maybe they aren't. The fact is I've left it all behind now.

Axl: But why!? You had friends, a girl, and even your first biological kid on the way!

TJ: And I felt every bit of pain from it. It's not worth experiencing that pain and causing it to everyone else just to be in that place

Axl: *He growls furiously and charges at TJ. He throws a crushing punch right at his chin*

TJ: *The hit connects right in his chin and he tilts his head back. After a moment's pause he sends his own hard punch right into Axl's gut. Axl lets out a painful grunt as he's pushed up into the air. Following up the punch, TJ jumps and sends a spin kick at Axl. He lands down and watches casually, though still with his eyes covered by the paopei*

Axl: GAH!!! *He hits to ground and rolls hard straight into a rock. He coughs a little and gets up slowly, a trickle of blood coming from his mouth*

TJ: *lets the b***h slap hit him and slowly turns his head to her* Kaiori.... good to see you made it out of the sanctuary. I wish I could say that it was nice to see you well, but I doubt that there'll be an un-awkward time soon enough for it.

Axl: *slowly stands and growls lowly. He couldn't believe how bad TJ had gotten*

TJ: Then you're stronger than me. I'd seen enough of that pain. That's why I'm leaving it all behind now. Soon you won't have to worry about me ever again

Axl: You're nothing but a damn hypocrit now *he coughs again. That hit had taken it out of him*

TJ: *doesn't seem to be bothered by Kai's departure. He looks at Axl* So what? Just cause I'm your dad I have to stand for everything you want to be?

Axl: No.... you're supposed to stand for everything that you taught me!! You told me to never leave behind what I gained.... how can you watch all this go on and not do anything about it!

TJ: ....Sometimes people learn that not everything they said is true. I'm doing what I can to set them free. I don't want them to suffer and I don't want to suffer either. If I leave then they can forget me and I can forget them.... we won't have to hurt one another by feelings.

Axl: *stands up straight* Are you really that blind now!! Has that paopei pushed you over the edge again!? Do you really believe that their pain will end just because you vanish? Do you think that you're to sole cause of all this pain?

TJ: I freed Mastema in the first place. That set off this chain of events that lead up to now. It's better if I leave before I create more conflict.... it's really because Forge wanted something from me that Aeris died.... and the other two times were due to my inability to protect her...

Axl: But that's just more reason to stay!! If you feel that way then how can you leave without repaying them! You can't just leave after all this. And think of everything else that happened since then... look at how happy you were with Aeris... even I could see it in you.

TJ: *He's just silent. Axl did have a good point against him that he couldn't deny* Maybe.... but I don't know if it's worth it Axl....

Axl: Maybe not but don't leave them behind. Right now everyone's in trouble... if you came back you could help.

TJ: *sighs* I don't know anymore Axl. I can't think straight anymore.... but my outcome at the end of this is already known to me. I can't say for sure what'll happen but I am going to think carefully

Axl: *takes and deep breath and nods* Alright... I'll stop there. But.... one thing. Did... Did you get Aeris's kid back from the harvester?

TJ: *smiles slightly* Yes.... I did. You have an adopted little sister by the name of Aileen now.

Axl: *can't help but smile at the good news* I'm glad to hear it. Hope I'll meet her soon. *sighs* Aeris.... is still on the harvester. Forge came by today. I think we'll only get her back by force

TJ: *nods* I would introduce you to her now but she's asleep... she's taking on a lot at such a young age. *He frowns* I see.... I'll see what I can do now. I'm glad we could talk again tonight. Good night Axl. And incase we don't see each other again..... live your life how you want.... hopefully you won't screw it up like I did *With that he turns and walks beyond the trees*

Axl: *eyes widen a little and he chases after him* Hey wait! *When he looks behind the trees, TJ is already gone* Kuso.... *Axl sighs and walks off. He was going to take a lot on himself now.... and TJ's last words were loud in his head. Axl vanishes into the night, eyes watering*

After walking through the forest, Moku had found a place to buy fast food and was on her way back. She occasionally looked down at the grease-stained bag labeled, 'Thank you for eating at MacFonalds! Come back again'. Every time she looked down, the food inside smelled more tempting. She continued to walk, "Just save it. Wait till you get back, share it with the others...
No, your hungry. Eat the damn thing.
I'm hungry, yes. But my sister is back at the dojo and I'm sure she's hungry too.
Eat it, dumbass!!!!!!"
She blinked, looking down at it again, and gave in, "Gawdammit. Fine, I'll eat it! But I won't like it once I'm full!!" she sat on the floor and opened the bag, pulling out fries and a hamburger.
