"There are many kinds of hell. Are you saying you would simply go home and back for him? That's hardly a sacrifice. It means it's pointless and cheap. Or do you mean another hell, one you weren't born of? Then it would be worth something, but the risk to you would be great. But if I'm old then..I suppose that makes you young, for one of your kind, hmm?"
She chuckled. Rankling this girl gave her a mild bit of pleasure in a dead world. But still. She had better things to do, and better things to think of. She shook her head then.
"The convergence actually isn't far off. A place where the dimensions meet. There would be three places. But the idea is knowing when. The place your armor was discovered. It likely set off a lot of energy. The second was where that girl broke the barriers between worlds. The last one..that's the most obvious and easy to find one, but also the worst. The top of those cliffs. The highest point. Oh, we could get to the top easily enough through utilizing the cavern system. But. There's a nasty energy building up there. So we'll have to avoid the source of that energy, when the gate forms. In the shape we're in, we can't fight."

"Well, the place where my armor was discovered is at least 16 thousand light years from here, sweet" he scratched behind his head, as if this fact was simply normal "The place where Tenshi arrived is just outside Durem... then again, that place is just nearby the highest peak from here... so now we have two places. I am not sure if that place (the 'abandoned' part of Durem that is) is stable but... I'm not sure if I can actually climb that high.... then again, I can do pretty much a lot even in this state I believe"
He tried to stand up, but his legs wouldn't respond. Curses, foiled again!
...maybe not too much he could do, but maybe he just needed an incentive.

"There is..one way. But it's dangerous. If you understand that, I can temporarily give you the use of your body back by giving you a massive surge of adrenaline that will last for a little while. But when its effects end, the pain from your wounds will double, and their severity may have increased by at least twenty percent from what it is now. There is a good chance you will return to a comatose state in that case. However..it will guarantee we manage to get you where you need to go without fail. It's something I hesitate to do, because it's so dangerous. And on top of it, it taxes my powers as well. They weren't meant to be used that way. But it's up to you. It's your life, and your body. What say you?"
It's the most matter of fact she's been with Kiga at all. Her eyes are set, and hard, and she's being deadly serious. It's the face of any doctor when they're telling you there's a special treatment that may save your life..but it just as well might end it immediately. It's that desperate, though, the situation. it's do or die, and she's offering the do, at the risk of the die. That level of adrenaline she's talking about obviously exceeds the output of healing she's offered so far. It might be the strongest power she's got.

Luna glared at the older women, but let it go, no matter how much she wants to release her temper. "All the portals are going to be dangerous, just choose one that is the less likely to get us killed off, and let's go." She stated, trying to relax.

"I don't find your options so bad" he had managed to limp himself to another wall. There.. the legs where starting to respond again. He felt a bit stupid, having to relearn to move his body... "Especially your second one..."
A grin. A slightly sadistic one to be certain. He's ready to take any pain and as much as possible, all to protect those who are needed.
He isn't afraid of anything, nor anybody, for fright is just an obstacle.
No.. he needed all he could to cross over and win, defeat... kill...
Besides, what's feeling 2 or 5 hours more of pain? Like if he hasn't done so...
Or.. actually, he would, if it wasn't because he was in a semi-comatose state. So.. let it be to revive those hours (or days? It seems more like days... months have passed) that he didn't.
"Just.. what do I have to do to receive all that power my dear? Do you need my soul?" he chuckled.
Kiga was so close from his hammer, but.... he'll have to wait before he lifts it.
It's... it's going to be hard, considering now his legs are shaking, warning him that he might fall again...

"Ha! Your soul. I would give it freely to you, Kiga. You are a true hero..something I couldn't manage. No, there is no cost to acquire it, save the cost to your own body. But realize that if I perform this procedure, I would be useless for at least a day until my energies recover. And if we ran into any monsters in the interim, I'm not a combatant at all. Mundane weapons can't fight some of the unsealed. But there is one other thing I can do.
This pendant..it has its own special property. Its own energy. By itself, it does nothing. But if used as a transferral medium, it can recharge other similar matrices. That star on your head is a matrix of energy. I can transfer from this pendant to that. But..even with it repaired, your body wouldn't be able to handle the transformation long. Five minutes. That's your limit until you recover. Any longer than that, and you'll kill yourself. Understand?"
She sighed, and touched the shining pendant around her throat. It certainly did have a unique energy. It was hard to place; it was almost like something that had been felt before. But the symbols on it were unfamiliar. They looked similar to a seal of some kind.
"Now, come close to me. I'll repair that matrix and supercharge your hormone drives and adrenaline. You'll probably feel a surge of aggression, and probably some other unsavory things. I'm going to boost all of your hormones to their maximum limit; The second I do this..we HAVE to go. We can't wait one second, or we'll be wasting time. Are you ready?"

Using his hammer as walking stick (rather a very heavy walking stick which he had to pull around), he approached Veila, sure of himself, smiling like if this was something to be enjoyed.
Always his securities above anything, that was which propelled him. Although there where also many other things as well for sure... but we would handle those for later.
"Saying 'I was born ready' is too cliche, so I'll just say yes, I'm ready and let it happen"
More than an energy matrix, the star was the thing that connected his soul to his body. You see, there was a belief within Shereriaans that their bodies was nothing more than scattered matter that randomly one day managed to merge into something. All caused by some sort of essence, soul if you must say so.
However, to bind this matter so nobody could take it, or rather so it didn't randomly slip away, a jewel fragment would appear on their forehead. There where many sizes and shapes too, but for those wielders of the MK armor, a special star shaped jewel was formed. This not only marked a wielder but also bonded the armor with the user, just like it is supposed to mark one's body to one's soul.
At some point, they are very spiritual beings, where they admit the body being nothing more than a vessel for the time being. Of course, the cracking of the star was not only a horrible crime and sin, but also very dangerous: with the bind broken, the soul could easily escape the body without ever returning it. The will of the person - along other things like magic or technology - could recover the seal, but if not done for at least 4 hours, it is sure said person would die. There had been cases where they could last even a whole year without said seal... but the damages would remain quite for a long time, even if returned from the comatose state. Kiga had been strong, sure, but the wounds still stung. Not to mention, he had not gathered a grudge against his parallel self, something that - perhaps badly - was the main 'inspiration' to keep himself alive. The images of a quick kill... taking away the armor from the usurper...
"It'll probably take us less than 5 minutes anyways" he smiled "And about you being defenseless, you'll never be while I'm around. Besides, Luna's gonna help too, right? Go ahead and apply"

Optional Background BGM: Gohan Powers Up(Sorry I've been away. Hopefully this makes up for it. Heh.) "Right. Alright, here we go. I'm going to do my best to repair some of the damage to your crystal matrix as well as give you a massive surge of adrenaline. Realize that that I will be using this pendant's ability to facilitate most of this; my own powers are limited. This thing, it stores energy, and I've had it a long time. We'll just say it's been passed down through quite a few hands, and I'm the first one to use it. There are even some who say that it's been around since 'the formation'."
She's talking about the formation of Gaia; back when the demigods all walked the world and warred with each other. It's doubtful the necklace is that old, but it does have an unusual design with very unusual runes on it. come to think of it, the Overseer and Sentinel also had similar necklaces or pendants, and symbols that had power. If this really was one of those..then it meant that it had a great deal of power if it had stored energy for all that time.
"I've never used it, so I don't know what other effects it might have, but it's too late to think of that now, huh?"
She pressed the crystal amulet against Kiga's own star symbol. She sighed, and managed a small smile. It's like she knew what was coming despite what she said. The look in her eyes was tired, but there was this small spark; like something that had been there a long time ago was lit for just a moment. And then it began.
The spark was small at first. A tiny trail of sparkling golden light that flowed from the amulet to the star-shaped matrix on Kiga's forehead. The feeling was warm in the beginning. It was gentle, and had a caring light. Maybe it conveyed her feelings. It wasn't to remain that way however; no, it was the way of such things, but rather than become painful, or anything else of that nature, the light between Velia and Kiga seemed to blossom outward. This wasn't unheard of, but it was rare; Resonance.
Resonance was common between beings of similar nature that used similar powers that called to one another and bonded, and it allowed them to share memories and feelings, communicate in a way that was totally based on visualization, energy signatures, and auras. In this case, what Kiga got was a vision. As the energy of the amulet flowed into the star, as the star was a condensing unit for Kiga's spirit itself, it allowed him to see, very briefly, into the origin of the Amulet's power, in a way. Or rather, the memories that the energy contained.
It was bright; so very bright. Gold and silver light was everywhere, and there were the sounds of birds no longer on Gaia, and some that had been seen by no mortal eye. There were trees everywhere, a glorious garden paradise. The waters were like crystal, and two suns shone down creating perfect warmth on all that were there. It was a realm of light. This was one of the major dimensions of the gods, one of the places created by the gods of light and justice, an elysian field that also held at its center a great white palace with pillars of marble and a grand hall.
There were young godlings playing in the suns, warriors practicing their arts, and minor angels and major spirits, all crafting, practicing healing and magics long lost; it was like one could reach out and touch them. It seemed so real. The warmth of the celestial bodies above..the smell of the breeze. And one thing stood out. One little girl in a child-sized suit of blue armor, giggling as she sparred with a young boy godling. This is what the realms beyond were like before the great schism of the gods of dark and light; before the great split between all the powers. The one that occured even before the Sentinel and the Overseer had their little spat. This was more than just a vision; it was a memory. This was someone's soul, touching his. Showing him. Resonance.
Two pillars of light rose up, one around Kiga and one around Velia. They were pale blue in color, and a gold energy looped between them, in the form of the lemniscate, the symbol of Infinity. The amulet had ceased to remain in Velia's hand, instead to float between her outstretched hand and Kiga's forehead. Beams of light streamed from the star on his head, as the energies merged. But they didn't simply repair; no, there was something left behind. A fragment of energy that was there from when the time the universe was young. It was more than adrenaline now; he was being suffused with a tiny, tiny piece of divine energy. An infinitesimal portion of the soul of something..someone.
The light was everywhere. Beams of auric energy blazed outward, piercing the building, and a wind carried from no mortal sky whipped around the trio inside of the crumbled ruin of what was once a base of Parallel Gaia's greatest heroes. The wind had pulled Velia's hair out of its ties, and for a moment, with her dark hair flowing around her face, with the light shining on her that way, she seemed so young. So alive. That wind carried soft silver sparkles within it as well, a silver wind. They were known to appear when there were deific presences near, so they were very rare.
It was soothing, even to the one of demon descent; this wasn't angelic light, or even 'holy'. It was older than that. It was just divine. A source. A light. Beautiful and untainted. Kiga could feel it surge into his form, and the vision started to fade. But not before the little girl with the silver-gold hair and golden eyes turned her head to look directly at his resonant spirit self that was in this vision, the eyes outside of his eyes that saw these memories. She spoke in a high, soft voice only he could hear.
"It is your turn now. You are the hero I couldn't be. Save them. For all our sakes who have been forgotten."
Between the two, the pillars around them both merged into one single light that streaked upward. The roof was blown away, and the light split the blackened sky, opening a hole in the clouds, and even the air itself, from which shone down the bright sun. The sunlight came down on the group, as if to say 'there is yet hope'. And with a strained smile on her face, Velia reached out to grip the amulet..the light died down..and the woman's eyes closed, and she fell right to the floor. She was alive. But she was totally drained. She wasn't lying. It used up everything she had. But still. The amulet was apparently everything she had been told it was. And its power had restored him. The deed was done, and she slept, to dream.

The visions, the powers... the lights, the sensations. All coursing through the hero's body, pumping all over it like blood, rushing from head to toes. The fragments of the base armor he had, infused by the same power as it's owner, sprouted out to life, shining in various colors as the Resonance started infusing them with a new power he had never felt while he had memory.
His eyes entranced with said rush, feeling what she felt, reliving the ancient times. He himself started to show to her his world: the far away planet, at the corner of Sirius by the name of Shereeriah.
Beautiful from the outside, shining as if it where a star of it's own, with purple and blue hues, covered in soft pink cotton-like clouds that became lighter as one descended down to it.
The plants where bizarre and all emitting a slight light when touched, most of them spotted with these receptors that created quite a look by night, almost like a fairy tale, twisted with space elements and confounded with the stars at night, where the 4 moons delivered their soft light.
Kiga's silver hair, illuminated by the moons, gave it an appearance that it could shine on it's own as well, looking at the eternal sky. There was no trace of him wearing the armor: not the wrist device on his right hand and nor his forehead jewel the shape of something extraordinary. It was just him, plain Kiga, showing his world and the marvels.
The city's streets, covered in a chrome like film, creating a glass like illusion of the sky, making it look perpetual, eternal and never ending...
"Someday... I shall become a legend... just you wait: I'll become so bright, I shall convert into a star myself!"
The wrist device shined brightly, covering it's owner with it's own light, phasing through the many armors it held to be restored: Flare, Torrent, Tracker, Adobe, Hax, Clear...
All worn in a cycle, where each part was filled with a seemingly never ending light, that restored and powered it up. This was almost like that Halloween on the Other Gaia... only that this time... the influence was so much more... he felt that, if he wanted, he could become an Admin. Yes... a God himself... but... he knew deep inside, that he had a limit.. he had to act quickly.
Raising his right arm close to his face, the device on his wrist facing outwards, he shouted the words like if it where thunder, just as both pillars of light merged into one.
"MK armor, allow me your Divine Light!" (( MK Armor - Hikari wa mesameru! (Kiga's Transformation Sequence Song - A version) ))
Quickly, the light as it faded, surrounded him to allow the Clear armor to form. The armor with the reconstructed and fortified hammer which had made him so famous in this place, giving a small hue.... almost... angelical...
"Luna... are you ready?" he said in a mighty voice, kneeling to carry with his right arm Veila, basically tossing her over said shoulder, hammer on the other hand "We only have 4 minutes to save the world... "
Signaling Luna to hold on his back, his wings sprouted. And with the roof gone, only one thing was left to do: fly towards said corner of the world... to the Other Gaia...
((One post from Luna and we are off! ))

A small device, freed from obscurity by a sudden rush of data from a parallel universe, sparked to life in the inner recesses of a caved-in computer, within the wrecked confines of the GiW Headquarters. Hello? Hey, Kiga. This is Darkangel. Remember me? Gaians in Black, the Sycophant Crisis? Yeah. We need some help. Tenshi's MK has completely gone homicidal, and Pent's body has been taken over by Draxio. A rush of static followed, followed by the roar of an accelerating motorcycle and the drone of a firing auto-cannon. Yeah, we're kinda chasing her. She's going to destroy Pent's body if she keeps this up, Kiga. And then we have to fight Tenshi. We can't do this alone. An uncomfortable pause followed. MY position is Gambino Island, near the Marketplace. We need you, Kiga. Hurry. Every second is precious. Come and help... please... bring Luna. Oh, shi- The transmission cut off abruptly, and there was static. The sounds of explosion rocked the device, and the emergency transmitter fell from its hiding place and to the ground below, landing at the towering Kiga's feet.

Such a transmision at such opportunate time, but sadly, Kiga wouldn't listen to it. Too into the mission to track and hunt down Tenshi, who has dared to not only basically try to kill him, but also and more importantly, destroy his beloved home.
He had Veila on one arm, Luna on his back, and was about to set flight when two key words came out from the jagged transmission.
The first one, was that said person was from the Gaians in Black. Not really important, the GiB where nothing in comparison with the now obliverated GiW. He idly wondered about Titanium Witch, but discarded that quickly.
The second one, was the thing that made his ear more soughtful of the message: Tenshi. That was the keyword to everything. Something with Tenshi...
His fears had come true: Tenshi had arrived to her own world and was about to do the same that she had done to this one. The adrenaline rush came much quicker than usual, gritting a bit his teeth. He had to go and quickly...
The last part, almost ignored due him thinking on many ways to defeat his parallel self, came wiht the location. A location in the other Gaia. He wasn't sure if that was where she was, but it was a good palce to start, wasn't it? Gambino Island. There could only be one place named after such megalomaniac person who likes to flaunt his riches. Unlike Kanoko, who has also an island under her name, but rather for an official reason...
That was... just north from here... the parallel version of Kanoko's residence...
"Hold on" he comanded to Luna, his tone quite serious
Letting the energy flow downwards and towards his newly powered wings, he felt the ground vanish, crumble, lifting him upwards with a greap impulse that could only be described as a shot. Quickly he found himself in the air, overseeing the HQ and Durem... then.. heavens.. maybe all Gaia under him...
With the same energy, soaring into the sky, almost as if it where an extension of him, guiding him to the place he is to go, he went to the top of the biggest mountain in Durem. Just as Veila had told him, a great energy voxted was just gathering in the top. Violent and rapid, unpredictable as the weather that had joined in there.
Going towards it would be something completely mad, unthinkable, and rather stupid maybe... but...
That was exactly was he was going to do.
Gathering more energy, not thinking about his actions at all, just doing as his gut and even maybe his own energy told him, he rushed towards the vortex of energy that swirled dangerously.
It was a funny but burning feeling, the next thing he felt, one of many stingrays poking around him and diving it's strings right into his body, the venom rushing into him, burning, ever burning deep inside, but he kept going.
The pain diminished, the rush continued, all as he pierced the non existant space into the nothing, going and going on... reaching to the unknown and probably unreachable...
That until...
The sky...the clouds... this diferent smell in the air. It was similar by diferent to what he knew. The lights at the distance. Durem.
It wasn't his Durem... no, this was...
He had arrived, to the Other Gaia.
A large Grin decorated his face, turning quickly towards a much brighter city sitting over the waters. An island, representant of the power of a mad-man, or rather odd man. Gambino. Isle de Gambino.
Without saying anything else, eyes focused, he rushed towards the city. All his questions would surely be answered and his revenge, finally starting.
"Just you wait Tenshi... once I find you... you are through!"
