Welcome to Gaia! ::

Dais's disorientation increases as he finds himself inside what he thinks of as a small, moving building. The building is yellow and has two rows for people to sit in. In the front row, a dark-skinned man whom Dais does not know moves a wheel beneath his hands. He is sitting in the back row, with Korin. He merely shakes his head. He never thought he would be travelling in someone's moving house.

Dais recognizes the scene of a battle when he sees one. He merely stands in the doorway, letting Korin find what she thinks she needs to find. His suspicions have been confirmed: Kento and Cye are gone.

"There are two I can think of," Dais says, folding his arms beneath his muscular chest, "Kale and Sekhmet. Kayura said she didn't know where they were, that they were clouded from her sight somehow. I have a feeling that they have done this."

Dais closes his mind for a moment, rather than opening it. In its closed state, his armor tells him only about other armors nearby, rather than the general direction of those far away. He has an image of...orange...and...blue. He cannot quite make out what is near the colors, because whatever it is, the presence he should be sensing is merely a void, an empty hole in the world.

"I can lead you. Though I cannot promise good will come of it," He says.

Suddenly, and without warning, Dais hears the heavy footsteps he remembers as his own. He freezes in place, letting his senses grip with the problem that should not be a problem. Someone in armor approaching- but who?

Dais closes his mind once more and finds that orange and blue feeling has come closer. At once he shouts, "Musou!" and transforms into his armor. His purple spiked ball, bearing dried stains of blood, thunks onto the floor, splintering wood.

Then, in a moment which seems to last forever, he sees the orange armor of Hardrock and the blue armor of Torrent, both empty, yet both moving, coming towards him. Somewhere from the emptiness, a vacuum cries, "Cho Ryu Ha!"

The compressed water and energy hits Dais full-force in the chest. His body is flung backwards, crashing through two tables before coming to rest in a pond full of goldfish. Dais struggles to his feet. He knows that if no one is in the armor, his illusions will not be effective: they depend on a human being's senses misled to work.

"Korin, prepare yourself," Dais growls.

"Hah! knew the blasted thing was-"

Asako stood with her pen in hand and turned, before stumbling back woith an exclamation as the tin can leaped at her.

"Unholy thing! How many of you are there?"

turning her stumble into a back handspring, she put a decent distance between herself and the animated armor, her hiar clip springing, letting her long hair tuimble free.

She reached behind her and her hand met wall. A corner, to be exact.

"Okay, plan b: run."

she spun, and took all of two stepd before the thing hit her hard on the head and she went down in a heap.

Dais rushes out of the resturant. He immeadiately sees Hardrock and Torrent follow him, instead of staying to engage Korin. When Dais reaches the parking lot, he turns on his heel, dashes at the Armor of Torrent and places his head where Cye's midsection should have been. The armor thumps to the ground. Dais rolls out of the way as the empty Armor of Hardrock thumps its staff on the ground, where he was only a moment before.

Then, without warning, each of the armor stand back to back. One empty voice cries out, "Gan Tes-sai!" While another shouts, "Cho Ryu Ha!"

Dais, realizing what is happening, pulls the pack off his back and cries, "So Dando...Tochimou!"

At the attacks meet each other, Dais knows his only hope is for Korin to intercede.
