Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Oh no you don't!" He apeared between her and the cell and let loose a blast of dark energy.

Daemon made a strange move and blinked in suprize. He looked up to the ball of light. He chearged at takara, slashing away the plants and utered a spell. He jumped over her in a spin and pushed off a wall without hitting the ground. He slashed towards her just as his sword took on an aura of blilliant light.

His sword passed through hers. Daemon twisted again to avoid Takara's blade as he continued his attack.

As the blade cut, energy was vacumed at an alarming rate. Daemon accepted the daggers and landed in a roll. he quickly removed them. The effects were taking their tool already, but he still had time to finish her off. He victoriously viewed His sword. whitch was glowing even brighter from the energy he had taken from her seconds before. "Now die, Demon Whore!" He shouted as he lifted the blade high.
He was stopped by a sound fron Tachi's cell. A peice of wood was worming itself in. It backed out and slamed into the powercords. and a voice cried in Takara's mind. Help me get him out girl!

THe sphere shuddered and Crashed to the floor. A crack apeared and grew rapidly. Obsidian rmmed itself into the crack and the cell split in two. Tachi stood there. His normaly white scin was burned red and he was naked. he had clear shackles on but he held obsidian in a tight grip. "You," He said through obviously blaring pain. "Will not harm Takara!" He took a step forward and winced.
Daemon growled and stalked to Tachi and raised his sword. "If you will not behave, then I have no choice to destroy you with the very energy taken from your love!" He started his down swing.
Tachi tried to lift the bokken, but the strain was too much. he collapsed, the sword falling right behind.

About twenty minutes later Kyosuke was on the outskirts of Lower Town. He walked down an alley and entered an abandoned warehouse. His eyes began to adjust as he entered. The inards of the building were completely black. No light reached the inside of the building. He heard a small tween as someone turned on NVGs he quickly turned in the direction and let a scalpal fly. He heard a thud as the body hit the floor and a small boom as the NVGs exploded on the persons face. He walked to the other side of the warehouse and fell over a guard rail for the stairs. He stood up and walked up the stairs. A very faint glow could be seen on the coming from a hallway. It was as if someone had a lit candle on the other side of the hall. He walked over to look in and he saw the glow of the flame on a figure. The figure laughed a pulled the trigger releasing the napalm from its tank and let fly a sticky flame. Kyosuke got out of the way quickly. The flame fell onto the rail and began to melt it.

s**t just my luck... A ********' flame thrower... I knew this job was bad news...

The wlall of flame ended and it left Kyosuke gasping for breath as the Oxygen was being burned away. He fell to one knee and the figure walked out. Everything was getting blurry but he let fly a flurry of red scalpels slicing the figure to ribbons, quite literally. The tank exploded and a black ball of fire lept up. The shockwave blew Kyosuke back to the end of the catwalk.

"Nice... Know I smell like burned flesh..."

A few minutes later the flame died and kyosuke, holding his breath, ran past the place where the Black Napalm ignited. He dashed through the hallway and body slammed the door on the opposite end. The door collapsed and kyosukes shoulder dislocated from the blow. He fell through the frame onto the door and gasped for breath. He tried to move his arm to stand but instead he winced in pain. He relocated his arm and stood up. He concentrated a second later all the scalpels he used were penetrating his skin and re-entered his blood stream all at once. He looked up and saw a small opening in the roof with the morning light shining through onto a guy with a in a strange getup with a mounted Browning .50 Caliber heavy machine gun on the opposite catwalk. Kyosuke disappeared as the man openfired, blowing holes through the concrete reinforced steel walls.

"Great armor piercers..."

He found a hiding place in the blind spot of the guy. Kyosuke heard the shell casings stop falling right after the he stopped firing. The man packed up the mount and began to move to a better firing position. Kyosuke hopped out of cover and ducked behind the stairs hoping the man didnt see him. He stuck his hand out of cover and started blind firing scalpels out luckily he cut the ammo belt right as the man began to fire. Four shots tore through the steel stairs like a hot knife through butter. The rounds last of the rounds landed an inch away from Kyosuke's knee. Kyosuke quickly lept up and put a scalpel right between the mans eyes right as he squeezed off another shot. The round passed about an inch away from Kyosukes face. The kinetic energy of the bullet cut Kyosuke's right cheek. He wlaked up the stairs and fell through.

"s**t... Now this is a mess."

He jumped up and and landed on the top of the catwalk. We walked over to the next door. And entered it. The next hallway was empty and the door on the other end was open and a bright light shined through. He shielded his eyes from the light and passed through the door.

"Im glad to see you here Bloody Jackal, relitively uninjured."
"Yeah, it is and now Im seriously considering killing you and not taking this mission. b*****d."
I have your upfront, if thats enough to keep your mind on the mission. Anyway you will be eleiminating this man.

The strange guy in the mask from the Honky Tonk threw a picture down to Kyosuke. Kyosuke caught the picture and looked at it. It was the weird playboy he saw the yesterday.

"Have any ideas on his abilities? Allies?"
"Yes, he is supposedly from the top floors of Infinity Fortress... And his allies are close to you..."

With that the man picked up a brief case and with surpising strength threw it at Kyosuke. Kyosuke opened it as it landed infront of him. Instead of the 50,000 Yen he was expecting it was 50,000 US Dollars.

"Whoa... thats some cash right there."
"I hope you know the exchange rate. Its about 120 Yen per dollar. Since this is an elimination, you can finish it anytime my contact info is in that case."

With that the man pulled out a M-87 Military issue frag grenade. He pulled the pin and dropped it. The grenade hit the ground and a matter of seconds later the catwalk exploded. The wall crumbeled and shrapnal flew in all directions. After the debris cleared the mans body was nowhere to be found. Kyosuke could smell no blood in the air besides his own and the feint smell of the other men he killed. Kyosuke walked out of the warehouse and went back to where he last saw Honey and Danbei.

Takara took in a shuddering breath, her heart rate returning to normal. She slowly walked over to Tachi, removing her cloak and covering him with it, blushing and averting her eyes.

I love you too...

Using a simply levitation spell, she got Tachi to float behind her as she walked through the door to the stairs and returned to the fourth floor, searching for Mr. O'Connors and hoping he was all right.
