Welcome to Gaia! ::

She couldnt believe what he just said,Scarlet is still living? impossible I.....I remembered like it was yesterday she was....this cant be real. Yuki looks to J dumfounded but by his expression he was telling the straight truth, kneeling to the ground holding to her sythe as support she was tried to take in his explanation,"So your saying that the woman who tried to get me was actually,.....I cant believe this, I sensed her precense go long ago, but what your saying is true." Yuki was stumbbling in her words for realizing Scarlet was alive and yet she hasnt sensed her ever sense.


The thought came to her right that moment, when the woman tried to jump on her and she held her back a familier feeling went passed her and she blacked out for a second. Once Yuki got out of her trance she looks back to J,"As for the secret, I promise to not say a soul to anyone, its unbelieveable to me but you need not worry Its going to be kept with me." Looking around it was starting to get darker than normal,"Well I promise to keep this a solemn secret but you must promise me this much," she gets closer to his face,"No one here must know my identity while I'm here, so far I've been seen as a Lokchaion and nothing more, but if they were to know I was actually Queen Sara will come at me again." Yuki's face was serious, she didnt want people to know her royal identity thus pandamonium could spread and Sara could find out and get back at her from the last encounter or even worse towards Everest.

Thinking of the though Yuki almost shouted but couldnt,"If she was to harm my Everest I, I, I would.." her eyes begun to glow a ruby red in anger and showing her fangs and marks, realizing she was exposing the marks stopped before she anything else happened,"I'm sorry, I have yet to control my anger and with the power of the dark magic fused in me its tricky." Yuki looks at her hand still glowing with her aura,"Not so easy but its powerful, I've learned to use this magic and try not to go overboard with it so connected with my body."

Yuki stays silent and still not wanting to cause them to be seen, black suits were not the most great things since they nearly killed her awhile back. Once they have passed by them it was safe to come out from hinding she was shaking a little but Yuki regained her focus and nods to J,"Like I said, your secret is safe with but as for Scar-, I mean Eve being part of the allience," She didnt know what to really say since she herself had to deal with the new dangers. Thinking he turns away from J for a moment telling him to give her a minute to figure things out.

Taking some time Yuki came back to J with more of an idea then a decision,"I shall have Eve in the Allience, I'm not sure what Azelus and the other would say but she can act as she's with me representing the Shadow realm....that is if she doesnt mind." It sounded like a good plan but she almost thought she was in over her head on this, if Eve attacked and judged her that quickly then showing friendship sounded impossible. "I'm going to need the help since I'm getting the hang of this whole thing."

Agreeing to bringing in Eve it felt great yet on the other hand wasnt still secure with the choice she made, I think I'm way over my head,..... this might be a challenge beyond everything else. Looking up to J Yuki nods making it like she didnt have any issues going in her head.

She sighs from both the surprise and seeing Eve again, her thoughts were right on the spot of how difficult it can be,This guy thinks I can actually train her?!......I cant even control myself in rage. Calmly Yuki goes up to Eve who looks at her coming in annoyance,"Like J has been saying youre going to help by my side in the Allience, I'll try my best to help you fight though I mostly use magic but do fight normally." She didnt know if Eve was getting any of this but tried to get on her good side.

Eve looks at her for a minute then Yuki looks to J who just shrugs his shoulders, this wasnt what Yuki was thinking would happen but if she raised her voice was afraid Eve wouldnt like her just more. Though frightened Yuki looks on to her trying to at least get her to talk to her for even a second.

Morning comes, and Johanna is sitting waiting for Azelus. He sits up in his branch, and takes note on anything that may have happened. Coming up with nothing too needed, he rubs his hair into a nice style and climbs down. Johanna follows suit, and the two start Northward. After about five minutes, Johanna pipes up. "So, Randell Azelus?" He nods. "Where you from, Mr. Azelus?"

"Atlantis. I was on Earth just before I came into this... arena." He looks around for something to hunt, but comes up short. "Where are you from?"

"Nowhere," she says sullenly. "Well, I do not know where exactly. Last we were, my parents and me, was Oblivion, and we were there on my parent's business.... Then I am here." She kicks a rock, and then picks it up. Depositing it in a pouch at her waist she looks up into the sky. "I think I came from Earth, I look human, feel human, so Earth is the most likely choice. You?"

"Oh me? I am an Atlantean, um, Magi, born and raised, though I was born on Earth and moved to Atlantis shortly after. I saw my parents die when I was real young. Your lucky you still have parents. They are-"

"Don't you dare say worried about me. They could care less of my absence. I would be better off dead. I was a nuisance when I came into their lives fifteen years ago." She was fifteen? Wow, so small.... "So do not say worried." She sighs.

"Okay, they are..... Glad?" he fishes for a good word. He grimaces at the look she gives him. "Um, bad word for it. Sorry." They stay silent until they reach a small fort, hardly built with good hands, it looked more like a makeshift shelter. Azelus and Johanna check it over and decide to scout it out. They make nests in a small tree across from it.

After an hour, Johanna walks up to it, and makes the place somewhat homier. Azelus is close behind, and adds his own personal touches. "If I had a sword, I could do well to make it better off for us. I mean, in case of attack." Johanna smirks, and pulls a sword from the corner. Azelus chuckles and hurries off to do his best to chop wood from a nearby try. Soon, Johanna is there, using an axe. Azelus looks at her, jealous. After an hour, they both sit against the now hole free wall of the makeshift shelter. "Welp, I must say, your good with your hands. But leave the hunting to me." He gets up and hurries into the clearing. He eyes an owl, atop a large pine. He aims, and looses the arrow. It goes through the skull of the bird, and is gone. He sucks in his breath, losing yet another arrow. He had maybe ten left. He comes back to a small subdued fire, and they cook and eat it. Johanna goes back to reconstructing the shelter, and soon four walls enclose them, with a hole serving as the door. They could spend days there, and never have to come out. Azelus checks his bow, his quiver, and notices that Johanna had an infinite supply of ammo, which would mean he would not need to worry about loosing too many arrows, he could provide support, not engage anyone directly.

Azelus brings out his bow, and through a slit, sees moving leaves. Yet there was no wind. Johanna keeps talking, at his hand motions. And when needed, he responds. Johanna gets her sling, and loads a rock, choosing one with a sharp edge. Just then, a large sickle armed mantis bursts into the shelter, and Azelus looses an arrow. It gets into the soft spot under the mouth and backs up, dazed, and angry. Johanna sees the spot and pelts it with two rocks. She yells at it, and when two more show up, Azelus grabs the arrow from the dead carcass and aims at one of the others. They are forced from the shelter, and finally, they subdue the other two. Johanna shakes her head, and whips, hurling a rock in the direction she hears a sound. Moments later, an angry yelp comes forth from the bushes. Azelus knocks an arrow, and waits for someone to show themselves. In a flash, Johanna has three rocks flying in the same direction, bringing out more angry yelps.

Azelus keeps his arrow drawn and his bow string tout. He was aiming slightly high, to compensate for the distance. But he knew where it would hit, her head. And it would be there before she could move, or dodge for that mater. But Johanna whirls and aims in the opposite direction. Azelus does not question her. "Sniper, at your twelve." She says quietly, and with such control. "High powered rifle by the gleam, highly polished. poor choice of weapon for the woods." Azelus and her trades places, with her on his left, he keeps his arrow aimed at the original foe. She could get a distance with the sling though, but no where near what a high powered gun could. Suddenly, things go fast. He spins, sends an arrow off into the trees at the gleam, and a gunshot is heard. Meanwhile, Johanna grabs an arrow and loads her sling with it. She lets it fly at the Hitomi girl, and then they both run to either end. More gunshots, the Hitomi girl ducks out of the way of the bullets, and goes for Johanna, Azelus looses an arrow at the gunman, and rams into the Hitomi girl. When she is off balance, both girl and man reach the surrounding trees.

"Give up, we are ranged, your maybe lucky to get a few feet in any direction. Foliage would not work for your knifes. But our rocks and arrows could reach you dead on." Azelus shouts, his arrow trained on Hitomi's head. "And I am one damned good marksman." Three more shots, and again, the opponents are forced to move. Different gun though. Azelus had gotten the other sniper.

Azelus was running low on arrows. He had five left, and he had to make them count. He keeps an eye out for her. He hears the whistles, and keeps his arrow trained at every spot. He hears Johanna whisper in his ear. He takes the chance. If her plan worked, they would get the new sniper and get the girl out into the open. He smirks and jumps into the brush underneath the treeline, and makes a beeline for the clearing. He keeps himself in a zig zag, and the sniper's bullets splatter dirt around him. He keeps at it, and Johanna waits for the Hitomi girl to move. When she does, she brings the arrow she had swiped from Azelus's bag into her drawn sling, and looses it. Then she scampers, as if she could fly from tree to tree. She jumps from one top to the others, gracefully and without fear. Every time she landed lightly, she was off. The gunshots get louder as she rounds her way to the gunman. And then she sees him. But he does not notice her. He had a small knife in his belt, and she grabs it and slips it in between his ribs. He spurts out blood, and hits the forest floor. She grabs his gun and waits beside Azelus, who had his arrow out and trained. She follows his line of sight and sees the Hitomi girl, pulling an arrow out from her leg. She aims the gun, and blows the tree to Hitomi's left into splinters and chunks. "Oh yeah, I could get used to this thing." She smiles like a child on Christmas Day. "Ya gonna give up, or must I kill you like the owner of this here gun." She smiles evilly, and Azelus smirks. "We leave you alone, you leave us alone, its a big happy treaty till the end."

Vertusk watches in mild horror. This girl was good, better than he gave her credit. Azelus was in for a tough time trying to kill this girl when it came time. But he pushes the thought from his mind. Night shows up, his eyes dark. "That is my little girl." the aged man says hoarsely. "Azelus, you better take care of her, you fool!" Vertusk turns back to the magic screen, and Sara appears alongside the contestants. "********, I have a bad feeling about this!"

"Well, its our best killer, Hitomi, and the dynamic ranged duo of Azelus and Johanna. I wonder who is going to win?!" She disappears, and the screen is again dominated by the scene of the three fighting. Then, she is there, right beside Vertusk. "I hope you two are ready to see them die." Night pulls his sword, and Vertusk has his staff twirling. "Because Hitomi is damn good." She smirks and leaves. Vertusk wipes his eyes and looks up. So much blood shed. How many were dead now? Almost all of them. It was getting down to maybe five or so. Those three and two more.
