Welcome to Gaia! ::

After a few minutes of silence only interupted by occasional questions from Special and Emma, the carriage came to a stop. Balgen opened the carriage door. Outside was a magnificent stone monolith, with large columns on the front and a high arching top. a fairly large door was in exact middle of the whole place. This was the epitime of perfection. "This is it, my friends." Balgen said before carefully stepping out of the carriage. Mahla took Balgen's hand and stepped out of the carriage as well. Balgen threw a strange red coin at the small imp. The imp cought the coin, tipped an invisible hat and ran off somewhere unknown. The skeletal horses dissolved into the ground.

sweatdrop Sorry, I had technical difficulties with my internet.

Balgen walked up to the large door wich was dwarfed in comparison to the large builing. A large ring knocker was in it. Balgen grabbed hold of the ring, knocked it twice, and mumbled something into the door. There was a large thud and the door opened adn a rather short young man stepped out.
"Back so soon, Balgen?" The young man appeared to know Balgen and Mahla. "It's only been15 minutes s-" The man looked behind Mahla and saw Emma and Special. He ran up to Mahla and hugged her "Oh sister, Tis a truly glorious day!"

Desirae was typing and studying data when a small popped up and showed the scene happening at some distant laboratory. "Not good!" she yelled getting up quickly and racing to the room where her girls were sleeping.

Arriving at the room, Desirae, kicked down the door swiftly. She peer around the room and saw that Tina and Elle where still sleep. "Thank goodness" she sighed in relief. No sooner did she say that, when a small alarm started to go off. "Restoration process complete" a voice came from a computer. "Restoration my foot! There was no command to restore them!" Desirae yelled as the pods containing the sleeping girls opened. Both Tina and Elle pulled themselves forward out of the tubes and looked around and saw each other. "What happened?" Tina asked. "I don't remember anything after some shooting" she continued. "When I was still conscious I saw Aunt Desirae talking to some doctors but, I couldn't tell what they were saying." Elle informed.

At that point Elle lunged forward and yelled "Wait! I thought we were blown to pieces by those guns! Why is it I can move around? And with much better physical prowess too?!" "Because I paid to have new bodies built for you." Desirae's voice spoke from the darkness. "If I hadn't you would have died. the doctors had to remove everything from the neck down and store your heads while your bodies were being built. Seventy-eight tries later we made it to your model of body. Unit-79 and Unit-80." Desirae informed. "I know that voice..." Elle spoke walking closer to it. "It's Aunt Desirae!" Tina yelled running into the darkness only to get thrown back against a wall. "OW!" Tina yelled jumping to her feet. "One thing about the world today. Robots can impersonate anyone. How are you so sure I am your aunt?" She asked trying to test the two newly born ladies. "Ok, if you aren't her, then you won't mind me kicking your lifeless corps all over the place then!" Elle shouted charging in only to get thrown back as well.

"Enough of this!" Desirae shouted flipping on the lights. "The style of fighting you two know is outdated and can be over come easily. That's why I created a new style meant to take down larger robots and to quickly end assaults. The Valkyrie arts."

"Tch, like hell!" Elle shouted and quickly went in with a sweep to Desirae's feet. Desirae quickly countered by kicking Elle's ankle and forcing it up, catching Elle off guard, and grabbing her ankle to throw he again against the wall. "And you still think within the limits of a human. You have faster bodies, stronger even!" Desirae coached. "Honestly, what would you two do without me?" she continued and gave a sweet smile. "Aunt Desirae!" Tina yelled and ran to her with a hug.

The young man stopped the embrace and stepped back. He looked at Emma and Special and introduced himself. "Good day to you, my name is Hadore. I'm sure you've met Mahla, my sister, and Balgen? Now I don't know what the robots have been feeding you, but I'm sure Mahla can do a much better job. Now come, come, we've got lots to discuss. And not to mention getting you properly equipped." Hadore stepped up to the large door and held it open

Victor woke up with his head in a fuzz. "Where am I?" He looked at Pete, who coughed up a bit of smoke. "That's the last time we make a brew of dragon mead at home." Victor pulled himself up, his armor and skin slightly singed. Walking around, he found that he was in a strange city. "Well, a change of scenery is always nice, and no doubt they have a few bounties who need capturing. What do you say, Pete?" Pete wagged his tail, before burping up a pillar of smoke. "No more mead for you. You're gonna light me on fire again." Victor picked up his dragon, placed him on his shoulder, and after spotting a large building with a huge knocker, he started a slow walk over. "They'll know where the town hall is buddy, and pretty soon, we'll be bagging bounties and heading home."

Victor, reaching the large building, gripped the knocker in both hands. It was an odd metal, not like the kinds at home. Victor brought the knocker above his head, and sent it crashing loudly into the door once, twice, three times. "Is anybody in there? I"m in a bit of a hurry."

Emma just stayed close to Special, smiling slightly.
"This is kinda nice." she whispered to her new friend.
