Welcome to Gaia! ::

Bryan looked around as well and raised an eyebrow. "Do we actually want to know what we missed?"

Kia smiled. "Of course you do! Taki is now about to get eaten alive by the munchkin because he's a fool and never listens to me," she said cheerily.

Tala looked between the Kai's. "Oh really? So... which one of you am i going to believe?"

Taki stopped and regarded Fayina warily, kind of like a horse. One wrong move and he might bolt.

The soldiers around them watched the procession curiously.

Lee frowned and looked down at Drigger's disc. He hadn't even thought about releasing the spirit since the last time. He didn't know if it would even listen to him.

He sighed and closed his eyes. "Well, here goes nothing," he muttered to himself and called forth the sacred spirit in his head.

Drigger's disc started to glow, brighter and brighter until the whole room was filled with light. Ralef, the nurse and the soldiers all had to cover their eyes.

Tala tilted his head on the side and grinned. "You know, you're both not very convincing."

Bryan wrapped and arm around Brooklyn. "What are they doing anyway?"

Kia sighed before walking over to Fayina. Bryan raised an eyebrow. "No answer then?"

"Need some help there?" Kia asked Fayina before walking over to Taki. He raised an eyebrow at her.

"You're a real worry sometimes," she said, reaching out to touch Taki's shoulder. Taki watched her hand, puzzled. She pulled it back and looked at it before showing Taki.

His eyes widened and he paled slightly. Her fingers were covered in blood. His blood. He gulped and looked back at Kia, not wanting to look at his shoulder. She just gave him a sad look.

He sat down where he was. Kia smiled and patted his head. "Good boy," then walked back over to the others.

The light began to ebb away, leaving a large white tiger standing in the room. The spirit took one look around and let out a deafening roar. Lee just stood and watched it, not sure of what to do next.

Ralef raised an eyebrow in surprise and a few of the soldiers stepped back.

The tiger began to look around it's surroundings.

Kia nodded slightly. "He's still alive. I think he's just realising his mortality."

She lifted her hand up to look at it. "Plus he get a little queasy when he see's a lot of blood, particularly his. I guess showing him wasn't the best idea, but he'd keep moving around otherwise."

Tala looked over at the two on the ground. "Pff, isn't he supposed to be a soldier? Like professional killer and he doesn't like the sight of blood?"

"You'd be surprised what he does," Kia muttered.

Taki stared off into the distance blankly, not really interested in what Fayina was doing.

"Should have just killed me instead of going through all this trouble," he said.

Drigger padded around the room before turning it's head toward the windows that Rei was looking through. He couldn't see anything but he could sense the other teen.

The tiger let out a deep growl, green lightning jumping from the spirit into the air.

Lee gulped and just watched. He never could control the spirit, it did as it liked.

Ralef and the other group gazed in awe at the large beast.

((I really really tried not to post anything! but i'm writing out my english and was in a writing mood - no matter how bad it is xd 746 words.... at this rate i should be able to type my english up within an hour AND keep it under the 1000 word maximum

now where am i? O_o;; … oh right emoism *snicker*))

Kia looked up and over at Kai, being shaken out of her thoughts. She blinked a couple of times.

“Um, eat chicken noodles?” she suggested before shaking her head, “Oh right, you mean the plan plan. Well, we’re advancing on Boris in waves kind of, so that there’s just a kind of wall coming at him but you don’t really care about that part so umm,” she thought for a moment trying to picture where the ‘outsiders’ would be doing, “You’ll just have to worry about not dieing before we can trap Boris and his lot somewhere. Hopefully one of his main labs or the one with Black Dranzer in it, take out his plan in one go. You’ll be near the centre of the group with me ‘cos’ I’m pretty sure Taki isn’t going to let me anywhere near the front. If you guys can handle it, your spirits can be used for defence before we get to Boris and then you can go on the offensive. If we need it.”

She stopped and looked at the group standing around her. “Did that make any sense at all?”

Tala slowly shook his head while Bryan nodded. Bryan narrowed his eyes at the red head before hitting him on the back of the head.

“Ow!” Tala rubbed his head and glared up at Bryan who stared blankly back.

Kia rolled her eyes. “Anyways, if your wondering how we’re going to get around with out being detected we’ve thought of that too. For once, Taki actually used his brain and suggested to knock the power off. He’s not as dumb as he pretends to be, otherwise he wouldn’t be in here.”

Tala snorted.

“There are generators,” Kia continued, “that kick in if the power is turned off, no matter if it’s been cut or turned off at the main switch. It keeps the environment in here suitable to live in – maybe a little colder but bearable – and there’s safety lights on. Not that bright but not pitch black either. Plus, the camera’s are out. Boris relies too much on his camera system and those who control it. So until then, we’re just getting organised. After Fayina has finished with Taki I think we’ll be right to go.”

Taki looked back unnerved. “You know why I think you should have killed me?” he asked quietly. He looked away before answering, “Because if I was dead and wouldn’t have to worry about this since,” he took a deep breath before his next outburst, “I’m a big baby and don’t like pain!”

Kia didn’t even look over her shoulder but sighed and shook her head at the outburst. “Idiot,” she muttered. Tala tried to hold back his snickering. Tried.

Taki looked back at Fayina, “Or blood, so I’ll be looking away now,” he grinned. “Please, continue.”

Lee nodded at the instruction, not very confident that he could show them anything. He looked back at the tiger spirit and concentrated on it. He tried to will it to obey him in his mind.

C’mon….

Drigger snapped his head around to regard Lee. He let out a low growl and twitched his tail. Lee stood and gazed back at the beast Difiantly. Drigger watched Lee for a moment more before flicking his eyes around to look at everybody else.

Damn, Lee thought, As powerless as ever.

Drigger let out another growl, the green sparks flying off him increasing. He walked around a bit more before opening his mouth. Sharp teeth and tongue was replaced by white light, as were the spirit’s eyes.

The blonde nurse watched on in worry. She looked over at Ralef and back at the beast. That was one pissed of Kitty, but why was it so angry? It didn’t seem to be paying much attention to the boy in the middle. She walked over to Ralef and tapped his arm.

“Ralef,” she said.

Ralef tore his eyes away from the tiger to look down. “Eh? Yulia, you still here?”

“Ralef, that boy can’t control that spirit, it’s too dangerous like that. If you’re going to take it off him, you may as well do it now.”

Ralef regarded her for a moment before nodding. He turned to the soldiers and gave them a signal.

Yulia nodded before retreating back to the wall. That wouldn’t help the resistance but she didn’t want to get killed by that thing in the meantime. She was only observer anyway.

Taki yawned. "That's nice," he said absently, looking around the room.

Kia narrowed her eyes slightly, explaing things wasn't something she was used to.

"They may be our best weapons against Biovolt, if you can call them weapons, but that are still an unknown subject. I have no idea what they are completely capable of and how they are likely to act, even if you are the ones controlling them. I don't want you up the front, if they don't do anything, you'll be killed. I don't know they're power and i don't know how those hallways will effect it and i'm certaintly not risking my men with some powerful spirit, that's why your in the middle and are going to wait until we have a clear shot," she said and looked around.

Tala gave a low whistle. "I think you just got told K2."

~

Ralef stood back and folded his arms. As far as he was concerned his work for now was done. As soon as the boy was subdued and the spirit transfered over, he could go back to sleeping under that pile of paper work.

A couple of the soldiers down with Ralef quietly walked up behind Lee. He was oblivious to their presence, still concentrating on Drigger.

They quickly grabbed him roughly by the upper arms. He blinked in surprise before looking up.

"Huh? What? Hey!" Drigger!

The large cat's eyes snapped up to look at his so called 'master'. He watched for a moment and started to advance before changing direction and looking in the direction of Rei. His partner was in distress alright, but he wasn't in this room.

((*blinks*.... *goes back and reads*... hmmmm....))

Kia blinked at the pair's antics. She furrowed her eyebrows and tilted her head at them.

"What are 'Banana's in Pjamas'?" she asked. She looked down at the ground thinking before looking up again, "Why on earth would you put bananas in pjamas?"

Tala raised an eyebrow at her, trying to figure out if she was joking or not. He concluded that she was being sincere.

Taki hissed in pain and snapped his head around to give give Fayina a fiery glare. "Geez! Watch what your doing with that will you? And yes the bullet is still in there!" he snapped. he turned to look back at the others, muttering under his breath. He wanted to see how the other's would react to Kia's cluelessness.

Lee struggled in the soldier's grasps.

"Let go of me!"

it was useles though, their grip was like iron. One of the soldiers looked over to Ralef, silently asking what was next. They couldn't just hold the struggling chinese boy forever. Ralef nodded at them. THe soldier turned back.

"Sorry, kid," he muttered.

Lee's eyes widened. "Huh? What the-"

He never managed to get another word out. The soldier had removed hi gun and hit Lee on the back of the head, knocking him unconscious. He slumped to the ground, landing with a dull thump.

Drigger stood and watched.

The disc fell out of Lee's hand, his grip had gone slack. It landed on the floor with a clatter and rolled. Drigger's eyes watched it intently. It stopped rolling before the large cut.

He let out a low growl before raising a paw and batting at the metla disc. He gave a louger growl before disappearing into the disc. In a flash he was gone.

Ralef smirked and wandered over to the disc. He looked over at Lee before bending down to pick it up. He examined the disc in his hand with curiosity. It felt warm. A small object like this contained all that power. It should be impossible.

Kia nodded slowly and smiled slightly. "Right then," Just nod and smile, nod and smile, "Now that that's out of the way, we should probably get back to business."

She looked around the room. "I think we're almost ready," she looked back at the boys, "How are you guys feeling?"

Taki rolled his eyes before turning slowly to face Fayina. "Sorry," he said, "What are we considering about it?"

He took a deep breath before forcing himself to look at his wound. He made a face before looking back at the girl before shaking his head.

"We need to leave the bullet in there. It's not going to damage anymore nerves than it already has done. Removing it now will just make it worse."

He lazily poked his left arm. "Besides, i think i've already lost the use of this thing. It's not comming back any time soon, so the bullet won't damage anymore. What we need to do is to get a clean bandage back on it so there is continual pressure on the wound." He glanced at his shoulder again, noticing the blood flow had slowly started up again.

"We need the blood to clot to prevent anymore blood loss. It was doing that until you ripped that bandage off. Removing the bullet at this time without the right equipment or knowledge is just going to make it bleed even more and that's bad. I'll survive with it in there until this whole thing is over. It can't damage anymore. Blood loss on the other hand," he trailed off after that.

He looked back at Kia's group before adding absently, "Didn't they teach that to you here in some course or other?"

Ralef looked up from the shining disc in his hand. He regarded the soldiers for a moment before looking at the two chinese boys.

"That one," he said motioning to Lee, "I don't care what you do with him. I don't think he is of any use to us, but Rei," he looked at Rei, "We need to keep him with us and the bit beast. I'm sure Borise will want him put somewhere so we can... introduce him to this object."

The soldiers surrounding Lee had proceeded to pick the unconscious boy up after hearing Ralef and began to half carry half drag him out of the room.
