Welcome to Gaia! ::

Kheelan silently left, tugging Sarette after him to listen to Kit since she was someone easy going to work with but there was a underlying strength there that commanded respect. At least that's what Kheelan thought but doesn't share much of it, but they made their way to the back of the offices to make sure the inventory was still accurate.

Joker just stared at the TV, twitching and foaming at the mouth as his monster was angry that this was happening and the fact that he was going to lose his friend through this feud over...What the hell were people fighting over anyways?! The doctor didn't really know he just assumed but damnit...It was wrecking havoc on him. Even Kit's voice did nothing to stop him but it was his leash. Something to hold on to.

Kyoshi just stared at the ruined TV and then at Dusk. Not caring if he was harmed he wrapped his arms around her and just held her. To his core, the man was shaken. How could these events come to this? Why? It was....so horrible. It was heart breaking, especially when that was his closest friend on the TV, or was since it was broken, that was pushing buttons and making everyone angry.

There was a great reason for why Gambler did what she did. It as sort of like God, he had his reasons for doing things that people would never understand, just like she was doing. To her, it was something that was logical. To others, no one would have put two and two together to come up with the logical explaination.

That didn't matter right now. Gambler, the male one, was cheered by the crowd thanks to the awesome effects done by Hibachi who seriously did the greatest job in making the illusion to fool those watching. Well, those elves watching. The man turned to the real Gambler and offered her his arm, taking it with a dazzling smile that didn't touch her eyes behind those dark sunglasses as they walked down the steps to the waiting car on the cleared street. The police and security wanted to give the waiting car and couple a wide berth to walk without someone from the crowd causing trouble towards them.

Meaning no fangirls for this walking god among mortals that had Gambler's arm around his. The twelve ambassadors had started to make their trek down the steps as Gambler entered the waiting car with the male Gambler. Once the door closed however, the world turned into a dark place as it started to drive away. A chilling silence feel over the crowd as the car itself exploded with both occupants and the driver inside it.

The ambassadors all scrambled just like the crowd, some were injured in the blast while the rest were running away for dear life. From somewhere shots were fired and one of the ambassadors, Rev, was shot on his shoulder, bodyguards hurrying to cover them and get them to cover as quickly as possible. In all honesty, it turned into a war zone with Gambler offically insinerated along with those ridiculous laws that brought in a new era for a newly appointed boss of the city to carry out the real laws that had be created.

Joker flinched, his eyes going wide as he lunged for the TV with Kit still on him, yelling. "NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Looking around frantically, the man's mind shut down on him with his logical thinking. "Someone get me the phone! Call the others! Ask what's going on! Call Gambler!!!" But there would be no calls to Gambler ever again. Never would she answer her phones, nor any other form of contact.

Joker just stared, pressing his face to the screen that was bad for the eyes. "Th-They blew her car up?" The chaos continued as more shoots were fired but this time by police as they efficiently sniffed out where the snipers came from, shooting them down to the ground barking orders to get the innocent people out of the way and the amabassadors to safety.

Tears fell down Joker's face in his anguish as ambulences and firefighters rushed to the scene of where the car exploded. Yet he knew that nothing could be found in that reck. Nothing could be salvaged from such an explosion. No bodies will be recovered after the fire went out. Joker knew this because he was the best damn doctor out there.

Kyoshi held Dusk tighter to him, pressing his face against her hair. "Dusk, I'm not letting go so if you want to hit something hit me. I'm not going to break." Hell no, it would take alot to break him. Especially when his love was suffering so much. "Your stronger than this Dusk. Call up those important and let them know that your working on a way to fix this. Buy us sometime to get it done. You have done so much in a short time. This can't stop you." Yet they were oblivious to Gambler's short lived victory of pissing off elves, or rather pissing off those she knew personally. Maybe it was a bad idea to break the TV since Gambler blown up to pieces would have possibly calmed Dusk.

Kyoshi shook his head and allowed Dusk her moment. The woman has been through so much and done so much that she earned her rights to do as she wished, and express everything she was feeling. "Let it all out. I'm here and not going anywhere understand?"

Joker looked at Kit and nodded, still cry but holding it back in that he was foaming at the corner of his mouth. But he shook his head as tears fell down faster. "Fire can kill her kind." Not only that but with the whole car torn to bits, it's possible she was ripped to shreds in the car. Pulling away from Kit he stumbled to his office to get the cellphone, his whole body shaking as he dialed the number to Dusk. They had to know if they didn't, that Gambler was gone. After that he would have to call the others from Area 6.

Kyoshi growled and shook her a bit. "Damnit, your not superwoman. You have every right to break down. Otherwise you'll end up mad and useless. Don't give in to that." He said, holding her tightly but loosened his hold once the phone rang and Joker was on the other line.

Joker had managed to close the door to his office and sit himself in the corner of his now dark office with the phone on his ear while his hand was buried in his hair to cover his face as he was sobbing and trying to make sense. "Du-Dusk...G-G-G-Gambler's gone....Di-Did you see the explosion?" He was rambling, stuttering and sobbing that it was hard for him to speak clearly. The man banged his head backwards against the wall and dropped the phone. Damnit...This was all just....Messed up.

Kyoshi froze and looked down at Dusk with furrowed brows. Explosion? Gambler? What the hell? Did Gambler blew something up? Great, just great, that was the last thing we needed. Only he stood froze and motionless for a long time. Did he hear sobbing from the other line?

Joker reached for the phone and curled up in a ball, holding the phone close to his ear. "She-She's gone. Gone. Gone." He shook as his fingers again lost control of the phone and dropped it, holding himself tightly to contain his emotions, his grief.

All across Area 6 news was spreading as fast as wild fire. More and more news crews were getting a glimpse of what was going on, forgetting about the speech as what happened afterwards sparked the interests and the sorrow. Even the ambassadors were sending their own peoples to secure the borders, going through the city up and down to seek out who ordered the hit. Only, the hit had been preordained since the moment the former boss stepped foot and pushed buttons willynilly. If the former crew and elves found out about that, it could be a crushing blow towards them.

Kyoshi didn't know what to do with the phone since Joker wasn't talking but held on to the call until it was disconnected. Snapping his head up at Dusk's voice he rushed over to where she was and stood still as his gaze fell on to the TV. The explosion was slowly being contained, the firefighters wrestling with crushed and melted metal to see if they could retrieve the remains.

The news reporters were their mouthing something that he couldn't hear as only the images spoke volumns to him. The news station went from the reporter to a video footage of Gambler herself with the male Gambler, showing off as the most powerful couple that have been more mysterious than all the mysterious of the world combined, walking down the stairs with dazzling smiles.

It showed as they both went into the waiting car, away from the crowds that were wanting to get a glimpse of them, no doubt because the male looked perfect and beautiful as hell. Yet once the door closed to the car, he watched as pure horror stole his breath away when the camera showed the car exploded. Not just those normal explosions that possibly contained a certain amount of explosives to just render suffering. This kind was the type to render total death the swiftest way possible.

Kyoshi flinched and dropped the phone, his face pale and his body shaking. Gambler entered that car and.....But he hadn't gotten a call from the others as he watched on, the camera fell down when the crowds turned into a stamped of frightened chaos. Shots were fired as the people went wild with fear and witness one of the ambassadors they were there steps away from the couple running either back up the steps to the great building or for some sort of cover. He watched as Rev went down with blood and anguish.

The bodyguards started to surround the important as the police, the very police of the city, shot expert fires in the direction of the snipers. The video cut off as they went to the live feed where the reporter once again was summerizing everything and waiting for more information that will never come to them since it was against the laws of underground bosses to never reveal the truth to the masses without causing the balance to tilt.

Yet those now images didn't matter. All that mattered was those images of Gambler entering her death trap and just.... He faintly heard a phone ringing and realized it was his. Turning around, he walked in a daze to his phone as if he was a robot. Getting to his cellphone that was on the nightstand next to his side of the bed, he answered it and heard Bank's voice on the other end, his voice shaky husky from crying. "Kyoshi..." The man on the otherline tried to get his composure in order to speek. "I don't know if you saw but..." There was a catch in the man's voice, "Gambler has been assasinated."

Just hearing those words made his body feel boneless, sitting on the bed as he looked out the large wind with the phone still at his ear. Bank confirmed what he wanted to believe was a lie but in the end it was the truth. Even if there was some hope that Gambler could have gotten out before the car was ripped part, he doubted it since it happened faster than anyone could have reacted, no matter how powerful a person was. Finding his voice he needed to know who was taking full reins of the city so that he can go and see for himself. "Who-" He cleared his throat, "Who's in charged?" Bank hesitated for a moment and sighed, "Viper."

Kyoshi just stared off into the distance, his gaze landing on nothing as his mind tried to wrap itself around Gambler's death. Deep down, there was terrible pain and grief at the loss of his closest friend. No, she was like his sister as they were born together, fought together and learned to live in this place. They always had each other's back.

They always shared secrets and devised ways to keep their existance throughout the ages hidden from scared humans even when the creatures finally came out to live among them, they would still Kyoshi, Gambler and Monty, would keep quiet about their existance. The same went for when they adopted the Twins since they needed to be protected. It was why they barely used their powers because the only flaw among the angels and demons was that you could feel another's essence.

The angel finally brought himself back at the sound of Dusk's voice, even though it was partially faint in his head. Thinking of her question he looked down at the phone, then at Dusk, all color drained from his face and his eyes dull. "Viper is in charge." Meaning they would need to talk to him to see what was going to happen from here on out, not only between them as individuals but also for Ilovu and Area.

Joker finally shuffled out of his desk and went to the medicine cabinet that held his pills. The man opened the small little mirror and stared at them. He knew he needed to drink one of them to calm himself so he can think clearly without the monster raging inside him but....The man couldn't see with his vision blurry from so much crying.

Kyoshi nodded as he stood up and went to the closet to get dressed in the outfit he had been wearing to show that he was a warrior of a high class. The angel took pride in his elven outfits and had things been different he would have considered that Gambler quit being a boss to retire here. But things weren't different.

Running a hand through his hair he walked to Dusk, watching her. "We have to go to the city and talk with Viper to see where he's going to go with this." There was something about this that was familiar to him, this pattern of events that made him snap into the mindset of a warrior angel. "Wear your finest to present yourself. I'll call Bank to organize a quick meeting." The man went to his phone to call him back.

Joker nodded as he looked down, holding his hand out for the pill. Nodding some more he looked at Kit and kissed her forehead. "Thank you." It felt so good to have someone there with him while not scared that he might flip out and cause trouble. No, he couldn't. Not when Kit was helpful and caring.
