Welcome to Gaia! ::

Raya's eyes lit with anger and she pulled of her leather glove, the skin over the palm of her hand folded back into her hand and a yellow light glowed. She pointed her hand at Basil's face and pinned him with an icy stare, "This is an electricity amplifier. It takes electrical charges from the air around me, or anywhere else, and stores it up here," She tapped her shoulder with her human arm, "It's got four stages of power, Yellow, it hurts like hell, but it won't kill you. Won't even knock you out."

Shai narrowed her eyes, saying in a cautionary tone, "Raya."

The light in the blonde woman's palm turned from yellow to red, "This one here feels like someone's got their hand in your brain and is squeezing it. Pain so strong you go into shock, pass out, start foaming at the mouth, gag or choke, or both. Very, very unpleasant, but still not deadly." At this point, Raya knew Basil could feel the heat radiating from her hand.

Shai moved closer to her partner, but didn't dare touch her. The woman was volatile when she was angry, even more so when someone talked about her arm, "Raya, that's enough. Calm down."

Raya ignored her partner, the light fading from red to blue, "This one here will kill you. It's a slow, horrible death, but eventually, within a week, the pain stops. And your family and friends will be able to identify you."

Shai didn't even bother to say anything, just watched, ready to pounce on her partner if she tried anything.

The light shifted from blue to purple, "This one doesn't even hurt. Just kills you. Burns you to a crisp so that nothing's left but dust and ashes. So, which one will it be? Alive but in pain, possibly paralyzed, slow and painful death, or fast and quick. Barely even knowing what hit you. This is one weapon of twelve, all designed for something different. Now then, do you really think my arm needs a tune up?"

Astrayl was sitting down in his martial arts studio reading the morning paper when Molly slithered up to his head. "Oh, hey Molly. Get this, a fat rich man was killed today. Says it is the same shooter from the last couple murder cases." Molly nodded at him. "Astrayl there are some people here to see you. Some of those people." She had a serious look in her eyes. Astrayl just sighed and then put his smile back on. "Welcome them to the studio and direct them in." Molly only nodded and slithered to the door. Five minutes later she came back with a couple of men following her. They looked japanese and worse part of the yakuza. Astrayl welcomed them with a smile. "How may I help you gentlemen?" One pulled out a sword, another pulled out a gun, and the biggest one put on brass knuckles. "I can see that you are here on mob business. Sorry gentlemen but I am no longer apart of the underground." Right as he finished, the man with the sword jumped at him going for a wild swing. Astrayl easily ducked the blade and sent a right fist up into the man's jaw knocking him unconscious. Next the man with the gun started to fire bullets. Using his legs, Astrayl kicked up the sword and blocked the bullets. "Good thing you brought this." In a split second the sword was in the barrel of the gun and Astrayl was on top of the gunman. "Bye." He placed his two fingers on the man's temples and pressed hard. The man knocked out instantly. "Well that was easy, and what about you?" He looked at the big guy who was already attacking with a right hook. Astrayl dodged quickly and jabbed the man's adam's apple sending him to the ground choaking. He picked up the phone and dial the police. "Hello can you get me chief Raya. Tell her it is Astrayl." Molly slithered back onto his body.

Basil was knocked back quiet a bit, but he managed to stay standing, and looked at her, not showing any signs of pain or injury "if you had known what was best for your team you'd have known about that flaw, you'd have had it looked at, and we wouldnt be haveing this conversation, or rather i guess i should call it a fight, seeing as some of us cant seem to be civil. and im sorry but if i recall correctly that was a death threat, and considered self defence. if i had chosen to, you wouldnt have had that arm attached anymore, but i was nice, and your really trying my patiance."

Hardy looked over to shai "im really sorry about all this, please try not to hold this against him, he's only looking out for everyones safety, although it would be kind of nice if he would think of himself some to."

"What do you mean she is busy? Ok ok I understand that she is off duty. Alright." Astrayl hung up then hung his head. "Geez Molly, looks like we have to go to the usual spot." Molly smiled in a snake fashion. "The pizza place is fun. Besides I want to see if Shai is there." Astrayl siled at Molly and put on his coat. "Hold on maybe we should tie them up." He got out a rope and whipped it around them. "Ok lets go." As soon as he walked outside, he started to run towards the pizza place and was there in 10 minutes. "Well if she isn't here we can always check the cage." He walked in to see a couple tables turned over and a couple police people here. "Yeah I think she is here."

((The shift will come soon))

"Oh hey Shai." He looked towards the bathroom and just sighed. "I see well I can wait for a minute I guess. It is getting late though." Molly slithered off Astrayl and close to Shai. "Hello Shai. Nice to see you again. We tried to call you guys earlier but the office told us you were off duty." Astrayl just smiled at the two of them. "Well for now we can tell Shai then be on our way. We had another attack on us. The Yakuza this time. It seems the underground might be putting a hit on me." He shrugged and picked up Molly. "Well we are going back home. If Raya needs to blow off some steam tomorrow morning, tell her she is welcoe to drop by the studio." He then walked out.
