Welcome to Gaia! ::

Acid jumped slightly to avoid the tremendous shockwave all the while his eyes remained on Yusake as a winged lady flew to his rescue. He landed feet first and turned back to the beast just in time to see its attack on another of the rescuers. He was done bidding his time to much of this carnage was not good for the environment. He didn't know how much good it would do but Acid figured it was about time he actualy attacked this thing. He held his blade firmly in one hand as the other stretched outwards towards the beast pointing as if accusing it of something. All went silent as the sky blackened and the clouds boiled with rage, lightning shot across the sky but made no noise the clouds thundered but they remained unheard. The ground shook with the rage and power of the lightning god himself as Acids body tensed to remain intact and not let free the energies inside him... just yet. His eyes flashed a brilliant electric blue from behind his shades and he gritted his teeth. Then all at once the sound returned as the dark clouds moved over him pin pointing him, the boiled and rolled over each other in a malicious rage. Then they sent down a mighty lightning bolt straight down ontop of Acid, it enveloped him, consumed him and he was gone. All that remained was a blinding white light and the sound of sounds that had been held back for far to long. There was a rush and a pull and then a deep dark and evil sounding crackle. The light faded and Acid stood there motionless.

Siren dodged the many cracking and falling trees with split second timing. As she heard the bark of tree snap she had to make judgement as to where to go. Jumping backwards to avoid one then rolling forwards to dodge another.
"Whats going on here?" she called as she jumped back again. Then it she felt it again, the strong movements from earlier,, the overwhelming strength and speed it gave off was frightening. She stammered in horror, and disbelief
"how can something be that strong...surely Ria would not permit this, surely?"

Having stopped in dead silence she began to worry for the safety of those who were risking their lives to rid Ria of such an...obstacle. Darting forward in panic and determination she called out hoping to break the eerie silence that filled the forest, hopefully no one was seriously hurt or killed for that matter.
"Kat, Yusake..you guys here?" She yelled as she ran, why am i calling to them, i dont even know if they are here. But they are the only ones i know here. Please say nothing has happened to them.

Siren paused in shock, she was here!. Siren took several minutes to let the information sink in, then suddenly realised she was being silent "Kat, whats going on, where are...is everyone..ok?"
She gulped at her lats word 'ok', knowing full well they probably weren't. Taking quick strides towards Kats' voice she cuaght up, perhaps now she would get some answers as to what in gods name was going on here
"Kat, whats going on...it sounds a battle.."
she paused and considered her words for a moment, of course there was she already knew that what she didn't know was what they were fighting. She spoke again, her voice quick and concerned
"what are you fighting?...what is it?"

Siren shook her head and turned back towards her, she would go and get help...but who would she ask, she knew no one here besides Kat, Yusake and Maru. Who would even listen to her? She sighed and spoke, trying to calm herself at this point
"Kat, im new here too....i dont know who to ask for help, do you?"
She didn't mean it in a cruel way she was just trying to emphasise that she really ahd no clue about Ria yet and that they were wasting time talking when they could be helping out.
"Kat..why aren't you fighting, if you weren't getting help why weren't you helping them fight?"
It was something that had just hit her, if Kat was fine and able why wasn't she fighting or doing what she telling herself to do..go and get help?

Siren had never met a more stubborn person in her life and sighed hevaily in defeat. "Ok..i'll go but Kat..." She placed a hand on her shoulder and spoke truthfully and sternly at the same time
"if you know you can help do it...your actions may help save them ok. N..n never doubt your own abilities ok"
And with her last words she quickly turned on her heels, swiftly and silently she made her way back. Running as fast as she could in the hopes that she would be able to find someone to help her out..to help save them.

Another set of roars came from the beast as it quickly stomped about, angry at the entire area. Yusake, by now, was looking blankly at the beast while he lay in Scy's arms. His eyes were set on the beast, his head was limp and to the side. Fears relived in his head, thoughts of the horror before him surfaced, and there was the sense of realizing that there was no-way out. The beast turned itself away from Shien to Acid, and it watched him. It suddenly turned agian to Scy, and again it watched her. By this time, Yusake's eyes widened immensely and he shouted in panic. He began to flail his arms and scream, move around and squirm in Scy's grasp. "Get off me! Get off me! Let me GO! AAH!" without warning he backhanded her across the face with his metal arm, then rolled out of her grasp. The white, burning flame like wing spread from his back and under his cloak as he fell to the ground. A sudden cloud of dust then rose from the earth, covering the area where Yusake dropped. In that instant, Citedal was gone again...the mere image of its figure soaring toward the courtyard. When the dust cleared...Yusake was gone, leaving only one thing to realize, and that was the beast's next destination.

"AAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!" Michio screams as his lights flash more.


Inside his mind, again...

"This isn't right, not only should he not have those light powers, but he is also using darkness," Good says.

Back outside:

Good appears in 'shoulder, only Michio can see' form, "What going on!?"

Evil appears in his 'shoulder, only Michio can see' form, "Simple, his anger has unlocked the book from where you put it."

"How are you strong enough to talk out here?"

"Are you kidding, I wouldn't miss the fight for the world, and if I had enough energy to take control, I would try to tame it. That thing's cool."

"Figures you'd think like that."

"Yes, but anyway, Michio, you can feel that power right, that is the poewr of darkness."

"THAT IS THE POWER OF BOTH!"

"It is impossible to have one or the other, only both." Michio says, as the power called starts to form.

Michio gains wings, on like Evil's, on his left, and one like Good's, on his right to show the equality of light and dark in his body. This is the power of the book. Blades also appear of the two elements, light and dark. "It's time to kick some beast butt!" he flys off towards the courtyard.

((Man, this sounds after-school-special-ish "Reading is good"))
