Welcome to Gaia! ::

Hidden Substance
The tiny flying candy goo girl continued to lead the group down the path, until finally, she slowed to a halt, her chocolate wings beating furiously to keep her hovering. Ahead of them, the path had once more descended to ground level, although there was still a layer of substance over the actual ground. In front of them was a large fountain, seemingly composed of substance as well. Instead of water, colored liquid flowed, spurting upward to fall back to the ground, to gather in the depression at the fountain's base, creating a large pool of it. She flew over and stuck a hand in the peak of one of the miniature geysers, pausing as she did so. She nodded and returned to the group.

"This hasn't been formatted or claimed, it is basically pure liquid chakra. Please, drink and recover your lost energy." She realized that that substance was very similar to what made up her siblings, but it wasn't the same, and hopefully the various humans would be alright with that, be willing to drink to recover. She fluttered overhead, waiting to see what they would do.

Ulsa walked over to the substance and took some of it in his hands. He looked at it strangely and drank it. He felt his chakra return to him and he stood up. He tried to not show it in case the others planned on kill him, and since they all didnt 100% trust the flying girl. He walks over to the Girl and asks her. "Are you tired? You can sit on my shoulder to rest if you are." He pointed at his shoulder as he stated that.

Demon had been following the group, as they went along the stairwells.As they came to a new room Demon nodded to the slime girls, as he began to drink the water. He felt his chakra began to replenish itself, his curse mark pulsed once upon his neck to show it's activity. Strapping his genji blade to his side Demon stretched, wondering what to do now.

Shun had finally caught up with everyone else, though he was a bit sad. He had lost, even if he did fight to his last breath. As the slime girl sad to drink he nodded, taking a cup of the water, feeling his chakra return to him. His soul blades appearing at his side again, feeling on six of them.

Gabriel returned to his home looking at the disaster that was the outside of hidden substance. he looked in aw at it for a few moments, then turned he magean a set of handseals and sent a series of clones to each village inside of the federation. stopping for a break the sat under a tree. he knew one way to get rid of all of the slime girls but it would kill him in exchange.

Liesel opened her eyes, and sat up. Looking around, she could tell she wasn't in her home village any more. The walls themselves looked similar to those strange creatures, too. Reaching out, she felt they were slightly resilient. She reached for her blade, to cut through to freedom, only to find it not there. Startled, she looks around, but can't find it, or any of her other items and tools. She can see a hole in one of the walls, and leaves, following the only pathway as it moves on, until she finds a series of smaller holes on one side of the passageway. Peering in several of them, she finds they are empty. But a moment later, she finds out that has items within. And not just any items, but her own items! She quickly grabs them and puts everything in it's rightful place, before continuing along the pathway. She feels weak, but she doesn't know exactly why. She rushes along the path as best she can, wondering where in the world she is, and what in the world is going on!





Tamao opens her eyes. Things had felt so peaceful while she was unconscious, but now she was awake again. Awake to the sad truth. She still didn't know the whole picture, but Hedoro, her friend from long ago, had seemingly caused all of this. She realized her mask was gone, as well as all of her other items, but was too depressed to care right away. Eventually she got to her feet, slowly walking forward, out of the room and along the pathway. Her mind was buzzing with a thousand different trains of thought, all centering on what had happened to her friend, what had changed her, to make her do such a thing as this. They hadn't seen each other in years, but she couldn't believe the odd girl could have changed this much without good reason. She owed it to her to at least find out what had happened. She just wished she still had her mask.

Hidden Substance
The humans had continued to drink, as more and more of them decided to trust her words and recover their energy. This made her glad, the idea of being mistrusted hurt her a little inside. Once they were all healed, they could move on. She didn't want to risk taking too long to move, but everyone needed to be at their best for what was to come.

When the metal man asked her a question, she fluttered a little closer as she answered. "What do the heroes do in any story? We have to stop her, before everything is gone." The candy goo girl sighed, why did it all have to come to this? Hedoro and her forces seemed to live for battle, so they were going to go fight her? Wasn't that what she wanted? But no. She knew that this could work. If everyone worked together, if everyone did their part, they could put a stop to all of this. They had to, there was no other choice.

- Hidden Substance -

"Darkness within Darkness... the void echos in emptiness as evil betrays its own... That is the nature of smiting this Hedoro... though this power." Kain's aura began to cloak the area in shadow and night, an added bonus of keeping them hidden from any enemies that may come within. He drank deep of the fountain and his aura grew stronger, the Dark Knight grinning as he stretched out both of his hands, speaking in command...
"Return to me, Kotetsu and Kiku-Ichimonji..." Kain's twin katanas would form from the darkness around him, the shadows of his surroundings solidifying to form his twin blades. With them in hand, the battle would be in their favor. The blades attacked the very Soul itself, as opposed to the body, and rending away Hedoro's soul would make her body powerless, as the chakra within her body would go out of control without a soul to control it. With his chakra restored, he could also summon the fell beast of shadow or the basic summon he had created a contract with. He was prepared for the decisive battle.
