Welcome to Gaia! ::

When Cat get some minor injury reflects on her arm, she frowns slightly, the spell is really getting on her nerves but when Cat gets teleport back to the team's location for going too far ahead. Maya reminds herself this is the main reason why she cast such a spell, to keep them together and work as a team. Maya looks at Michi as he tries to wrestle the remaining bots away as he falls together with bot...when a bot is coming at them, Michi comes to help them but the bots are learning...That is when the ranting starts inside her head, Maya tries to quiet it as she tries to move forward but that stupid voice is getting louder and louder inside her head, Girl, leave them be, they are of no help to you, that voice inside her head keeps repeating such words inside her, the young Onmyouji frowns slightly. One in stuck a trace and will not stops until her weak flame of life goes out, the other has no good ability to help at all, leave them girl, the voice tries to reason with her, Maya makes a big swing over two fake bars, she almost miss but Kudakitsune helps her by pulling her hand closer to the bar, "Thanks Kudakitsune," she mutters. See, you are wasting your energy helping these two, when they don't worth it...Maya is reaching her limit with this irritating voice inside her head. Leave them...break the spell

Maya finally snaps, "Shut the hell up! You old geezer! These are my friends, they are my team mate! Stop asking me to abandon them! I will not do it, damn it!" the young Onmyouji has never been so angry in her whole life...no one seen her this angry before. There is no way, she will abandon them. She feels a laughter in her head, Well done...Welcome to Level 2, girl... Maya growls in irksome, she really dislike it when the voice is always riddling with her. Poor girl, I will borrow you some energy...make good use of it, my child, that taunts her once more. A wave of energy rush through Maya's body, she blinks a few times, finally get what that voice is trying to do all this time, Maya looks at Cat, she goes to Cat's level and smashes her head onto Cat's forehead, "No more trance, Catherine," she says, hoping it will wake the girl up form the trance. "Sorry about that, Catherine, we are need to rush and move like a TEAM," she tells her. Maya has always been able to summon one Shikigami one a time, Kudakistune works differently from the rest of the Shikigaimi, but it feel different now, "Gouran, Kyuubi," she commands, the two canine Shikigami appear next to her, "Gouran, make us a path, Kyu-chan, give a Catherine a ride," she orders, the two Shikigami reply, "Hai, Maya-sama." The Nine-tails fox stands next to Catherine while a shadow platform forms under Catherine's feet, another one under Maya's, "Gouran, let's roll," she tells the massive black wolf next to her.

Maya is leaping up the shadow staircase form by her Shikigami has make for them to travel with ease, Maya pauses for a short moment at the rotating 'floor', she spots the right time and she jumps in sync together with Gouran, when they reach the side of the building, another shadow platform forms, Maya lands and she spots the bot that is troubling Michi during his ascent upwards, she narrows her violet orbs at the bot, she draw lines from left to right follow by up to down and repeat it, with each line draw is accompany with word, "Rin, Pyo, To, Sha, Kai, Jin, Retsu, Zai, Zen," the bot starts to shake violently, "Break," she mutters coldly and the bot that is messing with Michi stops suddenly and falls apart. Maya passes Michi, "Hop on," she tells him before she leaps from one shadow platform to the next. Racing towards the finish line...the roof. Maya feels the slightly boost of energy slowly leaving her, she refuses to give up now, not now, she grits her teeth and presses on, she will get her friends and herself to the finish line. "Maya-sama, don't push yourself," Gouran informs her, "Gouran, I will be fine," she tells him.

Kudakitsune soon spots the last bot coming in from Maya's blind spot, the bot that got away from Michi, the pipe-fox growls at at the direction, Maya turns to the same direction and rapidly shooting flaming arrows at the bot but the bot's AI allows it to dodge many of it. Maya curses softly under her breathe, she makes a jump to the next 'floor', she is just two more 'floors' away from the finish line and her brain is working at the speed of light to bring the last bot down. Maya lands on the next shadow platform, Gouran stands before Maya and fires shadow spikes at the bot, the bot is dodging Gouran's attack to notices Maya taking her aim, she draws the bow and fires a powerful arrow at the last bot. The arrow stuck onto the between the 'eyes' of the bot and explodes a few minutes after impact, the headless and charred bot than falls from the sky.

The Natural Onmyouji makes her way upwards without wasting a beat, she makes a jump but her body is about to shut down, all this time Maya is trying to keep it up, she falls between the platforms but Gouran bites on her shoulder and lifts her back to the platform. "Maya-sama..." Gouran calls her with a worry tone, Maya pats her shikigami's head weakly, "Gouran, I will be fine...just a one more 'floor' and it is over," she tells her Shikigami. The massive shadow wolf nods and growls slightly, Maya struggles to get back to her feet, "Old geezer...a bit longer will you," she mutters, You are a stubborn girl... that voice tells her and with another short boost of energy, Maya gets back up to her feet and she ascent upwards closer to her goal. Maya grabs on the last handle and pulls herself upwards to the roof. The moment she stands on top of the roof, Maya starts falls backwards as she was moving on 'borrowed time' all these time, her body was already at her limit but to push herself this far... Gouran catches her just in time, he rest her gently against his body and he curls around his Mistress as he waits for his Mistress's team mates to join them. "Thanks Gouran..." Maya mutters weakly, the massive shadow wolf nuzzles her gently, "Maya-sama, you rest up first," the Natural Onmyouji's first Shikigami informs her. Maya nods slightly and she presses herself onto the warm fur of her shikigami, while she waits for Michi and Catherine to joins her.
