Welcome to Gaia! ::

Outside of Nais

Sora teleported around the eagle-shaped thing. It was getting easier to use her new found power. She teleported a few yards away from the thing, and then took off again. She had to be getting close to the city by now. She could see a few of the buildings along the horizon. Sora sped up, the buildings getting larger as Sora came closer.

Kalm was outside of the funnel shaped wind, watching it tare up the landscape. The tornado was moving away from him, and honestly he didn't care. If Sinrith landed far away from Kalm, he wouldn't care. He would be able to go back to Nais and help Rai keep and eye on Fuego and Rena. Kalm sighed, heading the in the opposite direction as the storm. He doubted Sinrith would be able to get out of, let alone fly around in, the 100 mph winds.

Ship

Keith winced, trying to sit up a bit. "Yeah. It wasn't easy. Izeno's a fighter, even without his powers." Keith held back a laugh. Laughter sent pain throughout his middle. "Do you know who's guarding Izeno?" It really didn't matter... Izeno was dangerous. They could bind him, and Izeno could still find away to escape. Plus he could feel the faint darkness, probably from Izeno. It probably would be stronger the closer he was to Izeno.

Izeno sighed. He sat down against the far wall of his holding area. He didn't have the strength to breakout of the ship. He could feel the seal straining to contain his Dark Side. Obviously, it was working.
You and your sarcasm. Be happy I'm here. It's apparent that your power's aren't.
Not only did it seem that the seal was taking his energy, being away from Rena wasn't a good feeling either.
Stop whining and suck it up. What happened to the warrior you were back when you were a Hunter? This whole Rena thing wouldn't be a problem. This Hunter over here wouldn't be, either.
Izeno sighed internally. Well I wouldn't be able to kill him it that's what you're thinking. He would be on our team.
Never stopped us before, right?

Nias

Rai sat down next to Rena's bed on one of the uncomfortable, white chairs, stretching. "I'm sure he'll be alright. I wouldn't be surprised if he comes back tonight. He's a fighter. Even if they take his powers away, even if he's put in the most secure place on the ship, even if he has to take down Sinrith's entire Squad, he'll come back. I think he finally has something to come back for." Rai couldn't help but smile. Of coarse before Rena Izeno would have come back, but he would have been less motivated to do so. Imprinting was a strange thing...

Outside Nais

Sora was getting really annoyed with this stupid eagle thing. Sora darted downwards into the trees and continued on her way. It was amazing that she didn't hit anything at the speed she was going. Not only could the eagle not see her it would have to plunge through the forest just to get to her.

Kalm had started moving towards the city. He didn't know how long the tornado would be around for, but if that didn't give Sinrith trouble the storm would. The storm would probably stick around for a while. If Sinirith decided to fly through the storm there was a good chance he could get struck by lightning.

Sho had gone to check on Kalm quickly before checking on Sora. Kalm had him caught up on what had gone on with Sinrith, Faven, and Heme. Sho wouldn't be surprised if Kalm followed him straight to Sora. He was surprised that Rai had gone back to Nias at all. Sho sniffed the air, taking a sharp right. It was unusually that her scent was this strong in the tree and how it seems to be leading something along a twisted path. What also was very strange was the fact the the scent would be strong in one part of the forest and then for the next couple of feet it would be very faint...

Ship

Izeno yawned, closing his eyes. He would have to wait for the potion to wear off. Keith had better hoped that would not be soon. He would probably end up blowing the ship up... Or at least killing everyone on it... He tried to keep his mind off Rena. He was trying not to miss her too much. Plus he didn't need his Dark Side on his back about Rena... What had happened when life was so simple and they had been loyal to Lenil? Keith and himself could talk... Of coarse the fact that they were trying to kill each other hadn't changed.
Things were so much simpler when Fuego was in-training...
You're counting THAT as easy?
Izeno sighed. Why was his Dark Side the only one to talk to. Where was Keith when you needed him?

Keith sighed. He didn't really care if he knew or not. Healing teammates was more important. Even though, technically he wasn't part of this Squad.

Nias

Rai also looked up at the ceiling. He started counting the decoritive tiles on the ceiling. Why did they even bother to tile the ceiling? I mean, the floor is already tiled...

Ship (Nias)

Izeno look up. Did you feel that? Izeno asked his Dark Side. He couldn't have been the only one that felt that. ...Well he probably was, it depended on how stronger you were... And although his powers were suppressed, he was surprised to find he could still sense energy levels. It was also very strange that he was talking to his Dark Side, let alone his Dark Side being back. Has his powers helped to keep him in check? Or did they just make the seal work?
Yeah, I sensed it. He smiled. We could put your theory to the test.
No.
You alway have to ruin my fun don't you?
Seeing you boarded out of your mind makes me happy.
Technically I'm part of your mind.
Wow he was talking to his Dark Side now? If this is what losing his powers did, then he would never go through this again.

Outside of Nais... Sort of.

Sora barreled rolled to the right, dodging the lightning bolt and along with any trees that were in her way. Of coarse she almost hit the border that was around the city. She made a sharp turn upwards, just barely avoiding crashing head first in to the boarder. She breath a sigh of relief. She flew into the city, but the landing was a little rough. She had managed to land right on top of one of the guards. "Sorry..." Sora said, jumping off and brushing the dirt from her clothes.

Kalm practically ran into Sho on his way back to Nias. They were following the trail that Sora's scent had left behind. They had been talking about what had been going on. Kalm told Sho about Faven, Sho talked about Fuego and Izeno and Keith. "You know it's strange, but Sora's scent pattern is rather irregular. What I mean is it's really strong around this area, but it'll probably get fainter a couple of yards a head."

Sho nodded. "Maybe Sora has a new power..."

Kalm cocked his head to the side. What kind of power could do this, though?

Ship

"That would be great, thanks," Keith managed to say.

Izeno really wasn't tired. He knew without Rena near by he wouldn't be able to get to sleep, and if he did it wouldn't be for long. He didn't know why, but nightmares didn't like her. It was weird why he had imprinted on her. His whole life seemed to a nightmare. Izeno sighed.
You really are an emo kid, aren't you?
Shut up...

Nias

Rai blinked, then smiled. "You're welcome." Wait wasn't there suppose to be watching someone else... Oh... Fuego. Well it was obvious he wasn't awake yet. Usually when Fuego was awake there was a huge commotion that went on in the hospital.

The window to Fuego's hospital room was opened, the slight breeze genitally blowing the curtains. The reason for this was Fuego had jumped out of it. At the rate Fuego was going he could be halfway across the city before anyone would notice was gone. He had to laugh, it was awesome to feel the wind through his hair. Obviously there was nothing wrong with him, if he could run around, jumping from rooftop to rooftop.

((I'm assuming there's some kind of wall around the city... A boarder or something...If not, we can just say that Sora almost crashed into a guard station or something...)

Lab, Riven (cells)

"That won't work." Raine mumbled without looking up, having as good of hearing as he did he heard the sounds. "That lock is only one of about 32 different kinds of locks; these few cells are among the most secure in the whole lab." he continued and wiped his face with his sleeve. He stood up and turned from Darcy and Rat. Though they could no longer see is face it was fixed with determination. "If I am to die I am going to do it protecting what I love and what I believe." He said his voice unwavering. He had tapped into some unknown reserve of courage and was now deciding to do what he should have done at the beginning. "I will be back shorty." he said before walking though the small door on the right.

Rat roared slashing wildly at the bars for a moment before curling up into a ball by the bars.

Raine walked down several halls merely nodding casually to all that he passed, picking up a laundry cart on his way. In less then a minute he found the room he was looking for and slipped inside. It was dark and he made his way like he knew the room well. ( he had never actually been in the room but he had seen it when he had been shown his daughter and wife.) Slinking like a cat he made quick work of the different locks, all except one which took a bit longer. The door clicked open and a small voice asked. "Who's there."
"Shhh." Raine whispered. "I am here to get you out."
There was no protest and soon two people where safely hidden in the laundry cart. He whispered a few instructions to them and exited the room, making sure the cost was clear. He was trembling when he dumped the cart's contents down the chute. Taking a deep breath he headed back to the cell room where he would set things right without being thrown into turmoil about what to do. He had only known the location of the room for a couple of days and had been thinking of how he might get them out but had never had the nerve. He hadn't a clue why he had gotten a sudden burst of courage.
He walked back in the room he had left, about ten minutes later. He looked more relaxed and determined then he had in a extremely long time. His eyes focused and jaw set and the general look of defiance pasted on his face.

Nias

Sora gonked. What would it take to stop this thing? She really didn't want to go into the city knowing the thing would crash through everything to get to her, people could get hurt or even kill. She didn't have time to think about it. She didn't know how far her powers could take her, or if she could teliport with people... Sora would have to try something. She didn't want to risk the guard getting hit. She grabbed the guard and teliported.

She didn't know where she would end up, not knowing how to use her powers. She looked around. Where was she? She looked around the room. It was enormous. Most of the furniture looked like it was carved out of some dark wood. Whoever had made the furniture was quite the craftmen... There were a couple of pictures hung around the room. A couple of people who looked like they were from colonial days, others were of landscapes. The room's them seemed to be blue; everything was that color. The guard was beside her.

Sora looked towards the door. There was quite a crowd. Some looked angry, others wore a look of shock. They all looked to be some sort of guard... "Where am I?"

"In the palace. Don't you know?"

Sora's eyes became wide. Okay, well it would not be okay if that eagle thing killed the king... Of coarse he probably could defeat the thing easily... He was the king after. Kings were powerful right. "I should-" Sora started to get up. The room started swirling violently, and then everything went black.


Rai noticed some of the the doctors seemd to be running around, frantic. He poked his head out of Rena's room. "What's going on?"

"One of the patients escaped. Nothing to worry about," one of the nurses stopped to tell Rai, sweatdropping.

Rai blinked. "...It's Fuego." Fuego was becoming increasingly stubborn about this whole hospital situation... Rai didn't like hospitals as much as the next experiment, to not be able to spend one day in the hospital, sleeping, of all things was... Well... Not that weird. Rai went crazy when he had nothing to do.

Ship

Izeno opened his eyes at the sound of a new voice in the room. From the way the conversation was going it seemed this person was a healer... He didn't know if the healer had other powers or if he could fight well, if at all. He was watching the two intently now. Absorbing any knowledge he could about the enemy.


((Wow. Sora's pov was so long. @_@ Sora passed out... The room didn't literally start spinning or go black. Just in case that wasn't clear...))

Nias

One of the guards jumped out, grabbed Sora and the other guard with in the time frame of less than a second. He handed the guard off to on of the others in the group. "Make sure he gets to a safe place. He looks like he's unconscious, but make sure that's all.

The guard nodded, running off.

I'll get this one to a safe place. The guard ran off with Sora at a speed that could have broken the sound barrier.

Rai sighed. Well he wasn't going to go after Fuego. He was so stubborn that Rai probably wouldn't be able to bring him back to the hospital. It wasn't like Fuego was physically injured. He just needed rest from using so much power.

Fuego arrived at the hotel about an hour later. He had thought May would have been in his hospital room, so it was strange that he couldn't seem to find her. He ran over to her room, knocking on the door. After a couple of minutes of silence Fuego turned the door handle. It was unlocked. "May?" Fuego stuck his head in. "May are you in here?" No answer. Fuego sighed, closing the door. Where had she gone? He hoped that she hadn't followed him to the fight.

Ship

Keith sighed. "Lets just say that if Izeno's... full power... is unlocked that everyone on this ship wouldn't be enough to stop him." He really shouldn't say anything more. Izeno was a highly classified project. He wasn't sure which Hunters should know about it. "We shouldn't have to worry about that though. It looked like there was a seal on him. That should keep his full power in check." The thing was that Keith had no idea how the seal had gotten their. Sho left so abruptly he would never have the means to make a seal like that... Unless they had sealing tools at the Lab in Nias...

((Here I go making characters again. xD Although I have no idea if it'll be just for this arc, or if it's long term. ))

Ship

Keith started to laugh, but stopped when a sharp pain ripped through his side. "Fuego? Really? He was able to burn Zeik? I guess he's improved a great deal." Keith really wished that he had seen that. He had only noticed when Fuego had thrown Izeno's sword back to him. After all, Izeno was not an opponent you took your eyes off of. "I guess I'm not too surprised. Between Fuego's drive and the fact that Izeno was his teacher." Really he wasn't surprised that Fuego had gotten him. Izeno would have a hard time with Fuego if his powers were out of control.

Nias

Kalm sighed as they crossed the boarder. They had lost Sora's scent a while back. It was as if she just disappeared from the fact of the planet. Her scent had been all over the guard station, too, but they hadn't picked it up anywhere else. They had check the guard station and the area around it, but there was no sign of Sora.

Sho knew Kalm was taking this harder then he was. Sora was like a little sister to the pack, but she was closest to Kalm. Sho was trying to think of a power or substance that could mask scents or energy even. So far he was coming up blank. Kalm and himself had wander over to the hotel. He figured that either the rest of the pack and Sora would make it back here. They would have to make a plan for rescuing Izeno and Faven and Sora -if she had been caught- later. They Sho could tell that Kalm needed some rest. He wondered if he was up for stopping by the hospital and checking up on Rai, Rena and-

"Fuego?" Kalm blinked. "Shouldn't you be at the hospital?" Kalm asked.

Fuego sweat dropped, rubbing the back of his head. "Yeah, about that-"

Sho sighed.

"Forget it..." Kalm sighed, opening the door to their room.

"I'm look for May! She's not at the hospital... And she's not here. I hope that she didn't go after me..." Fuego wore a worried look on his face. It was a rare sight, seeing Fuego like that.

"Well we'll have to look for her when we go to rescue Izeno and Faven and find Sora." Another person to find... Rough day... For all of the pack. Losing what felt like three members. Izeno was part of the pack, and Sora was their kid sister. You really couldn't leave Faven out with the way Sora took to him.


The guard raced past all the rooms, all the maids and servants and other guards who were staring. He dodge chunks of stone that fell from the ceiling when the eagle thing spit lighting at them. He raced right past the throne room avoiding the shouting the other guards produced. His top priority was this girl. He usually put saving lives above manners. He didn't see King Gigmore anywhere, so that was good. He wouldn't be harmed by the eagle, at least. Of coarse that meant he couldn't ask the King if he could use the secret underground path to hide this girl...

He knocked on the wall, watching it open to reveal a passage way. He stepped threw, and the doorway closed, as if nothing had ever been there in the first place. He ran down the spiral stare case until he was about four floors underground. He ran down on of the tunnels till he came to a metal door, he open it, to a room that had several beds and a cabinet filled with nonperishable foodstuffs and basic medical supplies.

He figured the eagle thing wouldn't be able to break in. There was a strong force field around the underground. These tunnels had been built in case the King needed to escape quickly, or hide in times of war. He swore his love of animals was going to get him killed one day. The fact that the girl had wings must mean she was at least half bird... She looked like an angel that had fallen from the sky.
