Welcome to Gaia! ::

(( *huggles the kiki* sorry for that. wish i could say life is all happy n dandy n stuff, but its not. Work, School, and now im fighting a battle for my kid. its very time consuming and i hope you all understand. No ragging on any one here ok. if it wasnt for some people who help me get through such things, i probably would not even be around to post at all. XD i know that people would see that as being weak but im only human u know. XD Anyways lets continue))

Maverick was shell shocked from all that was going on. He shook it off and placed a circle on the ground near the dragon. After touching it the sand below the beast became glass. Hopefully it was thick and strong enough to keep it from diving back into the sand for a while.

Croix continued to fire his weapon at the beast till he had to stop from the over heating weapon. He allowed it to cool down and looked around at the battle field. So many were hurt. His eyes went back to the dragon. It seemed to be even more hurt though because of the combined attacks. "We just might pull through easily with this one " he said to himself as he saw Nerwin's attack fly past him at the dragon.

Alexander continued on the paper work. It was about 15 minuets later that he finished. He sighed and smiled. "All done!" he said as he put the papers into the box. "Hopefully their wont be much resistance when processing my application"

A healing aura surrounded Meiko and started healing her wounds quickly. Souji had summoned a healing persona just before he rushed to the dragon and bearly dodged the claws. He jumped onto a leg as it just bearly grazed by him. His sword was pulled out and ready to strike. There was no fear in his eyes as he went in and stabbed straight into the muscle tissue of the leg. He quickly jumped off and landed just in time to dodge the wounded leg comming his way. He rolled out of the way and got himself ready for another attack.

The Dragon cried out in pain as it was bombarded by so many attacks at once. Its tough hide was protecting it well, but it could only do so much against all the attacks. It tried to dig into the ground to get away but it was hard and smooth to the point where it couldnt get a proper grip to start digging. Its head whipped wildly and its tail swipped around all over the place as it struggled to get up.

Kratos sighed as he sat down. "Im a wanderer now. Ill be leaving soon since there is nothing for me here. I have to leave my family and friends. im just a shell of what i once was. Dont worry... ill leave soon so that i wont ever burden you. its a shame... ill never get to see my child... never get to hold its hand, or teach it anything about life... never get to love it, or care for it.. or just be there for it to support them when they need it most. Then again i wouldnt be the best person to learn from. I helped the enemy and almost destroyed my home and hurt you.... Ha... damit look at me babbling everything out like this. Its so un cool." he laughed at himself. as he got up. "Toph....You are such a strong woman. Thats what attracted me to you. Just like my mother. Strong and independent. I had hopped that i could of been in a happy relation ship with you just like my parents are...." he sighed "Mmm sorry bout that again... i guess i should get going."

(( tell me bout it dude. my kid was in the hospital. sad long story anyways come on guys lets keep the RP flowing))

(( i have to write a paper for a class and ill be talking about social networks *one being gaia* and i was wondering to help explain show how RP's are done and how interactive they can be, if it would be ok with you all if i took a screen shot of a page in the RP? i want to make sure its ok with mostly everyone so that i dont get in trouble. ))

Nerwin let out a quick sigh. I guess im out of shape, that took a little more than i remember it would. after we take care of these dragons ill need to do some training. Nerwin thought as she watched the dragons reaction to her attack. she noticed that the dragon was slowly weaking and wondered if everyone combined their attacks if it would have a better affect? how ever she quickly set aside the idea. she was new to the group, who but Croix would trust her? besides with ear plugs and what not in every ones ears she was not sure how to tell anyone her idea anyways. so instead she powered up and got ready to shot at the dragon again.

Tomoe sat down in the waiting room as Alexander continued with his paperwork. Sighing to herself, she lifted a magazine and began to flip through the pages, reading over current events that were being revealed in the world as well as learning about new work out techniques, make up tips, and commericial items to make her life easier. With a baby, she could get all of the help she could get. But luckily for her, she had her mother to help watch Kaoru whenever she needed her to. But when Alexander was done, she put down her magazine and smiled over at him, nodding slowly.

As Kratos spoke, Toph looked down at her stomach, well if she were still able to see, she would be able to see her growing stomach as she stroked it ever-so gently. A being was growing within her, a being that was innocent in development and birth where its conception was tainted with malice and evil. She could never come to hate the child growing within her, as time went on, she actually began to love it more and more. But with Kratos, that was a different story. The way he spoke made her feel slightly uncomfortable, because he made it seem that he was the one who was being passive aggressive, begging for some sort of pity that he wasn't going to get. "Stop running away." She told him after a long pause, looking upwards in his direction now with blank, grey eyes. "Your tone of voice and the way you go about the subject matter, makes me believe that you're the one who wishes for pity, not I, the clear victim of this tragic ordeal." She then sighed through her nose, trying to figure out what she's going to say next. "If you're going to leave, at least try to realize that.

Faya grunted slightly as she continued to struggle with holding the large dragon's tail in place, back and away from the group. But as it tried to swing the tail about once more, aiming to hurt her commrades, she cried out before she mustered up more of her oni strength, pulling the tail back to where she was originally holding it, panting slightly. She hoped that the group could get this beast under control before she completely gave out.

When Gumi saw that Meiko had reached some sort of safety, traveling on the back of the beast, heading toward the tail. But looking back, she saw a girl holding back the tail with all of her might, trying to keep it away from the rest of the group. She then looked down at the ground and gulped, finding that the jump down was much too steep and that they would get hurt or worse if they even tried. "Meiko-chan!" Gumi cried as she looked over at a clone, which was already beginning to swing a rope attached to a grapling hook around the tail that was being held, ready to be swung down on if so was desired.

Yuzuki sighed to herself as she touched the rim around the exit of her cannon and moved the dial a few clicks to the left, changing the setting from a plasma cannon to a flame thrower to a sonic cannon, and finally to an ice ray. Raising her new setting up at the dragon and aiming her blast at its eyes, she then shot a blast of ice at it, hoping to disorient it in any way so that the others could get their attacks in too.

Azmaria smiled as she took his arm before she was then led out of the grill and began to walk down the streets of the downtown area, heading towards the park. The stars seemed to begin to peep out from behind the colors of the fading sunset, clouds wistfully trying to move out of the way so they could shine with all of their brilliance. "It really is a beautiful night out tonight, so warm and peaceful. It's never like that it Britain, well almost never." She said with a light giggle as she looked from the sky to Luki before back up to the sky once more.

((ok guys so im thinking bout giving this RP a fresh start by starting another thread continuing what is going on. This will allow more people to join in and give us more people to keep the RP from stalling. all in favor say Aye ))

((*cracks knuckles*))

Soldier was being smart about things and not needlessly suicidal. That was good. Medic did his best to stay out of the way of the dragon's attacks, darting in and out of the fray, Medigun trained on anyone who looked the worse for wear before moving on to the next. It was then he noticed that several of the group were attempting to hold the beast down, to bind it in place. He couldn't have been happier. "Yes!" he cried out, not caring that none of them would hear him with their earplugs. "Ja! Bind zhe monster! Tie it up!" The German sprinted behind Faya, and turned the healing device on her. Hopefully it would ease any fatigue.

Spy took a deep drag of his cigarette rather than respond to the first comment. He had to agree with the second, however. The monstrosity did seem to be giving them a good bit of trouble. "Perhaps, perhaps not. There have been times that our radios have gone out, or that only some had been working, back home, and we made do simply by sticking near each other and paying attention." He allowed himself a small smirk. "Although it seems paying attention might be a bit of a weakness in this group, hm?" While he said it jokingly, he was actually serious about it. Other than those from his world, who had been used to paying just as much attention to friends as enemies (partly thanks to Spies like himself), very few seemed to look around at the rest of them. Too many focused solely on the task in front of them. Almost like a Sniper that was too focused on what was inside his scope...

OH MAH GAH HIGH FIVE TAUNTS
"Leave me hanging and you will regret it" Oh Spy, of all the things you could get upset over and you choose this. rofl

Back to something related to the discussion.
I vote in favor of creating a new thread. Hopefully after the dragons have been dealt with, although we can always just do a timeskip I suppose, since things are moving so slowly. Show of hands on whether or not Medic gets some dragon parts in that case.))

((Well, I was trying to wait, but I figure this could use a bump. Maybe get some of the others' attentions.))

It took a moment to work out what the girl's gestures were supposed to mean, but once he had, the Medic gasped outright. Destroy the heart? Dear God, no! Did they have no idea what the heart could be used for!? Granted, he didn't know with any certainty, either, but at least he could be creative enough to come up with a few ideas! However, Oomizu was already gone, passing along the message before he had a chance to react. What could he do now, though? Try to pantomime to the others to attack the dragon's eyes, instead?

Then Scout was in his face, for some reason trying to shove ammo into his already full hands. Really, couldn't the boy see it took both his hands to keep the Medigun active? Medic hadn't even had the chance to fire any of his needles, and even if he had a moment to, what would have been the point? There was no way that they would be able to hit the creature hard enough to go through the scales... Unless he didn't follow directions! His frown instantly replaced by a grin, the old doctor abandoned his healing duties and took up his trusty old Syringe Gun. He snatched the ammo from Scout, forcing room for it in one of his pockets, and sprinted to the other side of the dragon. Risky, sure, but if he could pull it off, it would be worth it.

"So it would seem," Spy agreed. Having finished another cigarette, he opened up his disguise kit again and pulled out a fresh one. A glance down, and he saw he was starting to make a bit of a pile. Oh, to Hell with it. After nearly two straight days of fighting, with a beyond ruined suit and still splitting headache, he was past the point of caring. Yet still, he stayed, and watched, and kept an eye on his teammates. Disjointed as they were, this was still his team, and there still weren't even any alternatives, let alone better ones.

((Yay, Ruki's back! *huggles*))

Faya continued to hold back the tail, although it was still difficult because the group was having a troubled time with putting down the beast for good. Grunting lightly, she took a different stance at grasping onto the tail before she began to pull and pull on the giant dragon, able to have its claws scratch at the glass ground, but only at most a foot or two, she was tired after all. If she had tried first thing, she might have been able to get this thing swinging around just by the tail alone. But ugh, that wasn't at the case right now. At the moment, she couldn't really figure out what the people down there were even doing, were they going to attack the thing or not. But seeing the rope around the tail and then Meiko sliding down at it, caused the young oni to blink in slight surprise. How could she not have seen that people were scaling the huge creature? Maybe it was because she was so focused on not letting the destructive tail getting anywhere near her friends right now. She glanced over at the young green-haired girl that quickly followed Meiko, confused to why she hadn't seen her before but as she smiled at her and departed. It was then she found that the green-haired girl was a friend of Gakupo's, which caused her to bite her bottom lip for a moment. But Faya suddenly jerked forward, for she had loosened her grip on the beast's tail and it had taken advantage of her lack of attention to it. It thrashed her around for a moment, almost hitting a few of her commrades before she regained control and pulled away at the last second. "LET'S GO GUYS! KILL IT!!" She screamed, even though she knew that no one would hear her, but she was getting tired again and needed this to be done and over with soon.

Gumi was glad when Meiko was able to get down, her clones disappearing as soon as they found her to be safe. But when the dragon began to move again, she felt it being pulled back into place. Looking up at the tail, she then made eye contact with Faya, although she didn't know who it was at the time, and gave a bright smile of thanks. She then jumped out and grabbed the rope just in time swinging back and forth as she slid down, lucky that her hands didn't burn after flying down that rope, but as soon as her feet felt the glass floor surrounding the beast, she began to slide because of the momentum she had gained. Screaming lightly, she then let go, sliding towards her friends before stopping just short of them and Oomizu. As she got up, she rubbed her but, knitting her eyebrows together since that was what she was sliding on this whole time. But her frustration soon subsided when Meiko suddenly took her into her arms once more, her face becoming acquainted with Meiko's breasts once more before she pulled out and allowed the older woman to kiss her forehead. With a smile, she rubbed the back of her neck with a slightly embarrassed blush gracing her features. When Oomizu began to explain what they all needed to do, she gripped onto her numchucks once more, one bar in each hand before she nodded with a grin.

Toph just sat there, staring up at him with vacant eyes although she could still sense his presense perfectly, creating the image of him before her in her mind. What was he talking about? Sure, she did necessarily hate him, but well, she didn't know if she was capable of caring for a child by herself. She had never really "seen" a child being born, since she was always with Aang and Sokka when their children were born instead of inside the delivery room with the mother. Hell, she had only been able to play with the children for a short amount of time before her temper would get the better of her, especially if they pissed her off. She had always lived in slight isolation, mainly because that was how she was raised, wanting to always look strong. She didn't like letting in people because they would probably think she was weak more than anything else. But slowly that cold exterior began to melt away as she made new friends here, but then that happened. Looking down at her stomach, running a hand across its flesh, wondering if their child would ask questions about if his or her father had abandoned them. Thinking harder, Toph knew that she couldn't tell the truth to a mere infant, painting his or her father in a darkened light. Toph knew what it was like to live in a family that was broken; her father never loved her mother, it was all arranged to find a suitable heir to their family name. Then they got her, what a dissapointment. That was when she heard Kratos' statement to leave. "Wait!" She said as she stood up, a hand out to try to stop him, but he was already leaving. She hated this feeling, this feeling of not wanting him to go. She could just see Luka's expression in her mind; her crossed arms and knitted brows if she saw this, but again, the fears that came with raising a child nestled in her mind once more. "You just can't leave me alone to raise our child by myself! Your gifts will be nice from time to time, but I don't want to bear the burden of having to explain it all...by myself." She called out to him, facing him now, tears beginning to well up in her eyes before they began to streak down her cheeks. "I never had a father, a true father. He was a cold, dutiful b*****d who cared more abouthis image in society than me. I don't want our child to feel the loneliness that I felt growing up, because his or her father left, thinking that it was "best" for everyone. But it's not. I don't know why but, well, I don't want you to go. Please, Kratos. Don't leave, please." She knew she sounded desperate, but this was the first time, in a long time, she really broke down the walls that surrounded her ego and began to wear her heart on her sleeve.

Tomoe sat down in the waiting room as Alexander continued with his paperwork. Sighing to herself, she lifted a magazine and began to flip through the pages, reading over current events that were being revealed in the world as well as learning about new work out techniques, make up tips, and commericial items to make her life easier. With a baby, she could get all of the help she could get. But luckily for her, she had her mother to help watch Kaoru whenever she needed her to. But when Alexander was done, she put down her magazine and smiled over at him, nodding slowly. "Are you almost done, Alexander?" She asked him as she stood up, walking over to him, placing a hand on his shoulder before giving him a quick kiss to his jawline.

Bunko hissed lightly, bloodened colors still trying to bleed through her eyes because she had yet to see Lord Inu back from the dragon's first attack. But as she dug her nails into the sand, her head shot upwards when she detected his scent, coming closer. That sent a wave of relief through her as she began to return to normal; and although Medic did help a lot with his healing, she wasn't still at full capacity because of his quickened departure. But nonetheless, she raised herself to her feet just in time to see the others begin to attack the heart. Holding her side still, feeling the newly healed bones, she backed up, making her way out of the way and towards the portal. She managed to shoot off a few of her special arrows, sticking to the chest of the dragon, before ice began to spread across its chest. Hopefully that would help, because for now, she was done. After passing through the portal, she let out a sigh of relief before looking over at Spy talking to someone and then another girl on the ground, all spectating at the battle ensuing. Shrugging it off, she too sat on the ground, still holding her side, and continued to watch from the portal room.

Azmaria looked over at Luki for a moment as he spoke, her golden-red eyes shining in the ends of the dying twilight, becoming overtaken by a lasting nighttime. But she wasn't scared here of the dark and all that inhabit it as she did back home, back when demons and devil worshipers were the enemy and now, she had people who were half and even full demon working along the same side as her, which was definitely something that shocked her in the beginning, but she began to get used to it, slowly but surely. Luki and the others that she had befriended along the way really helped out too, since even though they weren't completely human (which technology in general completely shocked her), she was able to see past that and become closer to them as she is now. "E-England?" The young apostle then choked out, blushing gently at the easing smile that Luki was sending her way. She looked down at the ground she was passing over as they made their way to the park after what seemed like forever. "W-Well um, England can definitely be cold and rainy sometimes. But when its spring and summertime, its gorgeous outside. The hills are green and beautiful and even the people seem more cheery, even in the city." She told him in a shy tone, her blush still apparent before she stopped, now at a crossroads in the middle of the park, not really knowing which way to go, or which way would be better for the two of them. "Would you rather sit on the grass, or on a bench?" She then asked, speaking up only slightly, her eyes still hidden with her bangs.

Collette continued to watch the battle ensuing before she realized that her beer bottle was now empty. Getting up and stretching out her back, she placed one hand back in her hoodie with the other holding the empty bottle before she turned on her heel and began to exit the portal room. It had begun to get a bit boring for her to just sit there and watch the others. Well, its not like she already knew the outcome of the dragon-slaying adventure. Oh wait, yes she did. Throwing her bottle into the nearest recycling recepticle, the young brunette then allowed her eyes to glow blue as she then recieved a message from her mother/mistress, Hitomi. Understanding the terms that have been dealt to her, she then began to head deeper into the city, which was now almost completely fixed up, in search of something particular.
