Welcome to Gaia! ::

Gatz watched the carnage in front of him take place and sighed.

"Well, so much for sitting things out." he muttered as he stood up. "Still no 'temporal erasure' so far, but apparently this state amplifies his powers. That seems to be a bit troublesome for everyone else."

Gatz stretched his legs a bit and stood up, then ran straight for the monster, jumping into the air to launch a double-footed kick at its head. It was unusual for Gatz to be so direct with his attacks, but it was doubtful that Scorpio's father knew that...

Adeline saw what had happened to AOnice. She knew she had to leave her friends and help the small girl.

"AOOOOONIIIICEEEE!" She screamed, getting to the girl moments after she had landed. Adeline pressed her back to the ground.

"Don't move, this is going to be hard enough as it is."

Adeline began to chant in a low voice. A pale white energy field encapsulating her body.

"Ehnam ehnam, rahnam, raspu....." Aonice began to feel a ticklish tingling sensation as the energy flowed into her. Bones knitted, and muscles writhed as they were repaired. The sensation did not last. Ending with a swaying Adeline.

"You should have had that arm seen to earlie....." She colapsed, exhausted.

The beast brought up its right arm to block the kicks only to have his leg attacked. He didn't expect the second cat to pounce at him. The blow made him stagger a bit. Gemini fazed through his sword then picked it up with his working arm. Scorpio forced himself to his feet. The blood just kept coming from his torn half of what used to be his face. He would die of blood loss soon enough.

The beast roared and energy beams of raw power emitted from his chest. They scattered and homed in on the attacking group. The beams were about a foot in height and about thirty feet in length. About twenty-eight beams were fired, four for each person.

Scorpio brought up his left hand and created a rock shield from when his left arm had fallen and touched the ground. It broke from one shot of the blast and the beam was absorbed. The beam burned his left arm. He fired it at an oncoming one to neutralize it and quickly zoomed past the other two. His blood flying around and splattering on the ground. The beams turned back around and Scorpio took out his sword. The beams were deflected then came back down and broke through the massive sword, nailing him in the chest. Scorpio went flying backwards, two large burn marks on his pecks. As he flew he spotted the beast, focused his power and made three explosions from the power taken from Leo. The monster skidded back ten feet, his heels digging in the ground. It had brought up its strong arms to block the attack. It still did some damage nonetheless. His body fell and rolled across the ground, scratching up his missing half more which made him yelp in pain as blood prints decorated the ground. He was beginning to lose contiousness.

Gemini mere opened up some portals to take in the energy. The power made him shake as he tried to keep his contration. The beams meanwhile found the mother that was trying to get free. They hit her dead on, burning her body, and knocking her uncontious once more. Gemini then warped forward and began swing his sword down at the beast. It blocked, the sword damaging the forearms before it was caught. Tentacles flew out of his back and were going to spear through his chest, but he warped away back to Aonice. "You alright, Miss Aonice," he asked as he brought up his sword in defense with his working arm as blood trickled from both sides of the hole in his disabled arm.

"Miss Aonice, don't look down upon yourself. I've watched you fight, you are quite good. You see, ninjas are designed to be assassins. They aren't really built for long battles. With their quick reflexes and silent nature, they are the perfect assassins. Maybe this sort of battle isn't your forte."

((Eh...s**t happens.))

Gemini nodded then focused as hard as he could on the beast. He opened up a strong, powerful vortext that sucked in the eight blasts that were heading for Aonice and the Neko. The monster dug it's claws into the ground, but he made the vortex zoom in close and suck him in. Gemini then went to his knees and held himself. Sweat dripped from his brow, and blood soaked the lower half of his shirt. He was breathing very hard. "You...might get less than that, Miss Aonice, I can't hold something as....strong as him...for...for long..."

Gatz, still tangled up with fighting the monster, got sucked in along with it.

... Well, I wasn't expecting this, he thought with a slight smile as he floated through the empty pocket of space with the beast, but at least now I can really start to rip into this thing without having to worry about the colateral damage.

Gatz reached over to his right arm and ran a thumb down it, seeming to slit it open as he did so. Chaos energy poured out, though not in an uncontrolled manner as it did when someone else wounded him. A thick 'rope' of power flowed out of the limb and snaked around Scorpio's father, encirlcing his arms and lower body.

"Dodge this," the entity said, jerking on the cord. The strand of energy quickly tightened around itself as it start to pull back into Gatz's body. The Chaos would destroy almost anything it touched...

Gemini just fell back as if he just collapsed. He was still trying to keep the portal from opening. "A...Ms. Adeline, please go find Scorpio. He's in worse shape than I. He could die soon. Since he wasn't all the way sucked into his left arm, his power may be released. My father was the last to try to kill him, that power may go seek him out. It can't reach him without a portal, but I'm having trouble keeping it closed as it is. Please...hurry!"

The beast roared ferociously in pain. The rope was cutting through his tough hide. The center of the monster's chest glowed before releasing dark tentacles of the polar opposite of the chaos energy. They wrapped themselves around the rope and Gatz's arm in attempt to neutralize the attack. He could feel his limbs and body splitting. It couldn't take much more of the strain. "IF...I GO...DOWN...I'M TAKING...YOU...WITH....MEEEEEEEE!!!"
