Welcome to Gaia! ::

A Jet black helicopter with a shinra logo began to approach midgar.

Nell smirked at notcis at least she wasn't boring him to death "Just soke him in water and hit him with a bolt spell or cover him in oil and use fire." Nell said trying to change his mood ring like eyes.

(Hey, sorry about the day before. Been on all day, so the oldies -i.e. PARENTS- decided it was time to get off. And dw, Aerith, I understand how much you like your character, and it's okay that you changed out of the situation. Besides, you gave me an idea for a new battle!)

Corey was in darkness. Where... am I? He didn't know what had just happened, or even if he was awake. Am I... No, I can't be... I only just saw Trea and Aerith...Every time he tried to move his head to get a glimpse of where he was, he was met with not only more black, his shoulder went into agonising pain. Well, at least I know I'm not dead, that's a plus... Now onto the subject of 'where'? As he tried to get up, he screamed in pain as he put weight onto his left arm... then he heard it. ... Breathing. He reached for his scythe, but found nothing. "Damnit! Sneaky little sh-" Another piercing pain, this time, in his right leg. As the pain grew, he caught a glimpse of the man responsible: His first contract... his first failed mission. "Hello there, friend? How are we on this fine da- oh, now that looks like it must STING! *tsk tsk tsk* You really must be more careful."

Corey wanted blood, but he knew his best chance of survival was to get his scythe. He reached for the blade that was sticking out of his leg, but the blade disapeared. "Now now, that's not safe! Don't you know you should keep the object in you until the ambulance arrives? After all, it might have hit a *slash* NERVE, or an *stab* ARTERY!" Corey was unable to comprehend what was happening. His body didn't respond to any order he gave it, the world around him was pitch black and all he could feel was pain. This is... this is it... isn't it? The end... I'm finally going to... The man responsible for this revealed himself within the shroud of darkness: Jonathan Euca, the no named killer. In his hands were a dark, unshining sword, and a scythe - Coreys' scythe... his fathers scythe. The man savoured the moment, watching his prey suffer. Corey, with his last ounce of strength, reached for the ring he was still wearing, as if accepting his fate and preparing to meet his family on the other side...

The scythe began to glow faintly, as did Jonathans necklace. The shroud began to disapear, and the realm of darkness began to lose its hold on Corey. His ring, still on his hand, began to glow, too, but beyond faintly - More like an epic, blinding flash. Jonathan stumbled backwards, the shroud disapearing around him. Then suddenly, the scythe burned him at the touch, so he released it in pain. The weapon didn't merely topple to the ground, however, but flung itself next to the injured, half dead SOLDIER. The ring slowly came off Coreys' finger, and went beside him, too, opposite the scythe. "What is this... WHAT IS THIS?!?" The two items, scythe and ring, began to have figures wield them: the scythe was held by Coreys' father, Irving Scott, a fellow SOLDIER, and the ring was worn by Coreys' mother, Josephine Scott, a healer, and mage to the military. The dark shroud was now non existant, instead replaced by pure light. Josephine placed her hand on her son, and his wounds began to disapear, color slowly returning to his face. Irving, stood tall, wielded his scythe, and prepared for battle. Corey sat there, unable to beleive what he was seeing.

His father, in his hardened voice, said "Stand." Jonathan, slowly losing his power, took his sword up and swung at the man from below. Irving dodged it, and with the hammer, smashed the sword into shards with the speed of a bullet, and elbowed Jonathan in the face. He was sent backwards and fell to the floor, now bleeding from the mouth, with only half a weapon. Irving stood his ground, and glanced at his son, who was soaked in blood. Josephine was still tending to her child, and in a light voice, said "Are you okay, Corey?" Unable to beleive he was staring into the eyes of his mother, he merely nodded. She tilted her head and smiled softly, her brilliant blue eyes and straight brown hair standing out from the white background. "That's good to hear, my child..." Her eyes went from the brilliant blue, to a deep green, and began to fill with tears. Corey remembered Jennifers eyes when this happened, but was unable to remember what this color meant. She burst into tears, and wrapped her arms around her son. "... I've missed you so much, Corey... So much." Corey felt her warming touch embrace his very soul, and with tears in his own eyes, cherrished the moment. Irving was still standing his gound over Jonathan, who was only just getting up from the first hit. "Another broken weapon... Well, I'm afraid I can't fight like this, so I'll have to bid you adue..." He gave a bow, and at that moment the many thousands of sword fragments shot themselves at Jonathan. When the barrage ended, he dissapeared in a puff of black smoke.

Irving stood firm for a moment, examining the area carefully. He then put his weapon away, and began to bolt towards his family. "Is he-" Before he could finish, Josephine put a finger up to her lip, and gave a nod. The man gave a breath of relief, and had a good look at his son. "Wow, he's gotten big, hasn't he? And he's still concious after that hell he was put through? "Irving! Is now the best time?!? Her eyes went crimson with these words, and her voice was sharp. Irving went back a little as she said this, knowing all well what she's capable of. Corey laughed when she spoke to his father like that, which made the two look at him. "Hahaha, you two haven't changed much, have you?" The three of them began laughing, and Corey began to start thinking of why they were here. "Hey, umm, I got a question: Why are you here right now? I mean, It's not every day that you see the family you lost and be able to hug them and talk to them, is it?" The two of them looked at eachother without words to say, and couldn't figure that fact out for themselves. "To tell you the truth, son... We can't answer that question ourselves. We felt that you were in trouble, and, well..." She was trying to find the right words, but none came to mind, for her, or for Irving. "What we're trying to say is, that we came to help you when you needed us the most. That's all that matters." Josephine nodded, but her eyes went blue again. Corey realised what this meant, and gave the two one last hug before they left again. They hugged him back, and Josephine gave him one last kiss before they left. "Goodbye, son.""We'll miss you..." Corey began to get tears in his eyes, and a feeling of weightlessness began to unfold. "See you on the other side!" These were his last words as he watched them dissapear, and the white background vanished in a large BANG! and ... to be replaced by the nights sky.

He wondered why there was such a strong wind when he came back to the real world, particularly one from... Below? He looked down and saw that he was plummeting to the earth at breakneck speed, and the last words out of his mouth for that day were "Oh SHIIIIIIT!!!" His scythe and ring, now in their rightful places, were still glowing, so all he seemed to be was a screaming, shooting star that was falling to the ground. And, with a mighty crash, he landed just outside the mansion grounds, on an expensive looking car... All that was left was a crater and debris...

(Anyone want to go hunting for a Ranga? lol.)

(I know, it's longer than the Great Wall, but read it! I put alot of work into that, and by god, you are going to enjoy it, or DIE!!!)

((I pick die lol jkjk))

Nell was actually a little happy that she met notcis it helped her knowing she was able to make some kind of non turk friend that was just for business or combat reasons. she hit a few switches and hit some buttons and began it's desent near the end of the slums.

Zack ran through Edge, trying to find Aerith, ohh, why would he do such a thing to his fiancee?! He was just terrible! He soon found her and... Well, he had met this one before, Nanaki? That may have been his name... But it didn't matter right now! "A-Aerith! I'm so so so so so so sorry! I-I never should've said that! You're right, I have attacked people without hearing their end of what it was, (in my defense they usually attacked me first) but still! You were right and I'm soo sorry! Can... Can you ever forgive me?" he asked, saying all that pretty quickly, not really caring what anyone who may have heard him thought, he just needed to make this right!

Nell landed outside the slums past the edge of midgar in a rather safe place. she began shutting it down and said "Sadly i can't really go with you seeing as there's another turk over there." Nell said and didn't want to get turned in for being near a targets house. "Maybe if they weren't around then i might." Nell shut the helicopter off but the fact was there's 3 in that place elaine, cisnne and alkaid.

((Back in a bit but you can leave her))
