Welcome to Gaia! ::

((Why thank you. I loath summarizing and think I suck, but everyone tells me differently. Anywhoo, I'm bringing Merlin back! I suck at playing him, but I just can't let him and the others go!))

Merlin sat by Leon, making sure he was cared for. He wasn't sure how he would take the news that they left, probably not too hard, after all he saw it coming,m but you never know. He wasn't sure who knew, after all he could have been the only. He hoped he wouldn't have to tell too many, the pain of having them gone, not knowing if they were even alive, was already starting to set in.

Phantom sighed. "You're the most obnoxious brat on the face of this or any world." She folded her arms over her chest.

"Axel?"

'What?'

"If we go, it's gonna be you in the fight. So the choice is yours."

'It's your body on the line.' He reminded. 'I'm just the tag along.'

Italia sighed. "Don't get us killed." she muttered falling into step behind Hotaru. "Ji, you comin?"

Hotaru shrugged. "Obnoxious or not, you need to make a choice phantom. And Zero. Since it's her body too." He shrugged again. "That's the last time I'll be speaking till I get there."

Hotaru merely shook his head. 'Funny how plans change.....supposed to go in solo, and never walk out again....guess I gotta hold out long enough for them to get out though....' He gave a light sigh as they got back to the ship. 'Never thought I'd be putting in this course to go and save someone....' He smirked as he started inputing the course. "So, they way it looks, bout half a day if this baby doesn't fall apart." He looked back, grinning like a devil. "And you can bet we're riding it full force the entire way.....so I suppose buckle up."

Sephira merely sighed. "Sir, I won't kill you, partly because the information you bring is wonderful, however, if you neglect to mention someone of Anna's rank again....." She trailed off, and looked out the window. A eerie smirk played across her lips. "Well, let's just say you wont be getting this chat again." She turned her attention back to Sir, "Now, be a deary and let our guest of honor know her beloved has started his journey home." She let out a wicked cackle as she sent him away.

Sephira glared. "Such bad news. Tear the area she was last seen apart. And make it known that if she isn't found in 15 minutes, I'll be letting Akira find her. And the fact that she's important to Heian is rather upsetting to that foolish boy." She laughed. "Would be quite bad for her health if he was the one to find her. I don't know how many pieces there would be."

Sephira sighed as she went to Akira's room. "It appears you get to be as violent as you want." She smiled at his confused look. "Ah, right. Anna's been found, and due to Sir's incompetence she's managed to escape, however she's still here, and remember, she is in love with your dear brother." She turned on her heel and started walking away. "So, be a good boy and bring her back. I don't really care how many pieces, just so long as she's still alive." With that she started back to her room, and summoned enough of her elemental power. "Anna sweety, I'm going to give you one last chance to come out. If you don't give yourself up soon, Akira will find you. And he's been given permission to do as he wishes, as long as you're still alive......and I do love how creative my boy can be."

((Heh heh.....next post all Akira. I love how twisted he is.....oh, right, that's something that's only been scratched at. Well, you'll see if Anna's as stubborn as I hope.....er....know. Yeah. Know.))

((I felt the need to put a disclaimer, AKIRA IS A COMPLETE LUNATIC. He is what happens when weak willed people use to much of a power they don't understand. That is all))

Akira laughed. "As if she'd ever let me not have my fun...." He started walking through the complex. "Let's see.....Anna....maybe just an arm, or a leg....hell, I'll just take both off and see how she likes being useless." An insane laughter echoed through the complex. "Ah....but how to catch a rat......yes....let's just drown them all!!!" He waved his hand, and water came bursting forth from the walls. "It's nice being in a place that's filled with weapons for me...." He walked past a few members dressed as Anna was. "Shame none of you will be able to breath shortly..." He laughed again. 'The only thing that would make this absolutely perfect would be to drown that damn b*****d of a brother....' He waved his hand again, increasing the flow of water that was starting to steadily build towards the ceiling. "Shame I'm only under orders to spare Anna......you all might have lived a little longer!" He gave a crazed laugh as he pulled more water out, and began slicing into anyone he came across.

((Heh crazy boy.....they're so much fun!! Now, back to the craazy!!!))

"Oh ANNA....Do you prefer your right or left side?" He called out as he continued on, leaving a path of bloody water and corpses behind him. "I need to know what side I should take...." He stopped for a split second. "OH! I know, what side does Hotaru prefer on you? I can't wait to see his face!!!" He cackled like a mad man. "Or maybe you'd prefer I give you a face no one would recognize? I can do that too!" To back up his claim, the next person unfortunate enough to be in his path had his face slashed with a blade of water. "See?! Anna. I must admit, I truly love this game of cat and mouse! It's been ages since I was allowed to do as I pleased!"

((End psycho boy scene.....for now!!!))

He stopped and looked around for a minute. "Coward? This coming from the person who hides...." He laughed. "I'd give you roughly 3 minutes before your trying to breath water." Then I just need to go through the bodies......perhaps you'd make a decent nobody...." He laughed again. "Technically you'd still be alive." The water around him started to spin. "Though I doubt you'd be able to get very far....." He raised his hand, and the whirlpool covered his form entirely. "Now, I wonder....Enough of the place is flooded....I wonder just how much harm my water wyrms could do to the remaining fools?"
