Welcome to Gaia! ::

The three dragon demons had just rid the multiverses of Abaddon. There was no real discussion about it when the dragon demon queen returned, minus any part of Abaddon. "That's that with Reaper's little toy. He won't be bothering us again, that is if he can reassemble his parts after the various volcanoes scattered in the multiverses have dissolved what little pieces of him I threw into them. Between all those volcanoes and multiverses, even if he can be revived from the molten slime he now is, getting all those pieces in one universe will take a lot of time. So, I say, it's 99.9% chance we have seen the last of that Abaddon. Of course, Reaper can construct a new one, but it will take him and his useless tsufuls a long time to do so. "

She looked at her son and daughter and sighed. "Draco, you look like you need a bath and sleep. Suzi, you don't look too tired, so why not return to our brothers in Xing and see if they have made any progress with their talks."

A quick nod of the head and the twin dragons disappeared, knowing this reprieve would be short-lived.

DLS took a deep breath and let it out, one of those cleansing breaths the ancient ones instructed her to use to clear her mind and body. One felt good, two felt better and by three, she was back to her calm self..

It didn't take too long before the dragon demon queen sensed there was a major disturbance within her group. She knew the twins were safe, so it had to be her brothers and sister/s fate. But there was something else, something nagging at her. A cold chill ran down her spine and the image of Hakura flashed in her head. The invincible soldier was in deep trouble..

Closing her eyes, she honed in on Hakura's location and phased there . What she saw would have shocked and worried a human, but DLS had seen something like this before. Hakura had been injured, badly so, and a quick telepathic image told the tale. The invincible Hakura was dying, but that didn't seem possible. She was supposed to be immortal, so why was she fading away? There didn't seem to be any way to save her. The longer the dragon demon queen fluttered there, the fainter Hakura's being became. it was like she was dissolving into a blue mist.

"Hakura, is there anything I can do to assist you?" was the telepathic message sent. Even in these short moments, Hakura was fading faster. Keeping a telepathic link was getting more difficult. "Hakura, tell, me how I can help you."

DLS was feeling uneasy. At this time,for the first time since coming to this desolate rock, she felt helpless. She didn't have a strong liking for the creature, but she was a valiant soldier, and that DLS admired.

She only wished there was some way to protect her now, but as she reached out to the armored female, Hakura she faded more and more into the blue mist that was enveloping her like a shroud, one that DLS could not penetrate.

Soon, she was gone into the mist and DLS lost all sense of her being.

Not one to linger in places where she could be no use, and not wanting to have to engage any others at this time, she phased out of the skirmished area and back to Headquarters.

Once there, she saw her son, now cleaned and presentable as a dragon demon prince/soldier should be. He was talking to one of the communications officers. So, DLS decided to report her findings to Aegil, since he was most senior Fate brother there, but as she looked around, could not find him. Strange, she thought. So, she walked calmly to her lieutenant at the main console to speak to him.

"I notice my brother Aegil is not here, neither is my sister Amalia. Have they retired for some rest?"

The dragon soldier spun around to face his queen. The look on his face was that of shock, something he had rarely shown before. "My Queen, the one you called Brother Fate Aegil has left. He took the female that is two with him."

DLS hadn't completely comprehended the situation when he continued. "Those two have left the planet? Had he said nothing prior to leaving?

The soldier got a quizzical look on his face and stated, "He was mumbling something about calculations and left repeating XV 15, I believe. and then he just got up, took the child's hand and disappeared. He left all his papers, machines and calculations behind, he just left."

DLS could see this rattled her stalwart soldier. She placed a hand on his shoulder. "It's ok. If he left it was for good reason. I suspect we will see him again. As for my sister, taking her from this place at this time was a good idea. There is far too much warfare going on and the one thing this universe doesn't need is that sister fate becoming upset and destroying everything- us included.

Another sigh and she looked around the room at all her dragon soldiers. She cleared her throat, as was her custom to get everyone's attention and when they all turned to her she spoke. "It seems by brother Fate Aegil and sister Fate Amalia have gone home out of necessity. We still have a job to do here. Let us remember, Sedhor and Harbinger are still here and they need our help.
The princess has returned to see things run smoothly in Xing." She looked around the room. "And can anyone tell me where that useless humanoid that calls himself Kor has run off to? He needs to be here, especially since we need to work on strategy without the help of Aegil."

Draco nodded to his mother and in a flash, was gone. He returned to the base of operations and got cleaned up, changed into military attire and went into the command center. He looked around and noticed the only ones there were his dragon comrades. The dragon prince walked over to one of the seated dragons and tapped him on the shoulder. "Hey, where is everyone? I expected to see at least two of the Fates here. Have they abandoned us?"

The dragon turned from his console to peer at his commanding officer. "We don't know what happened. One minute they were here and the next, there was a loud sigh and the one called Aegil and the little girl were gone."

Draco was puzzled. He was about to start asking more questions when his mother arrived back in the command center. She looked a bit tired, but considering all they had been through lately, and the lack of sleep she had gotten, he wasn't surprised. He looked at his mother and before he could say anything, she approached the officer in charge and started questioning him. Knowing his mother, it was best of keep quiet and let her figure out what to do next.

Meanwhite, Suzareigna took her leave of her mother and brother. It took a moment and she was right back in Xing, standing exactly where she had been before Draco called for her help. She looked around and noticed that nothing appeared to have changed since she had gone. Harbinger and Ling were still at a standstill in their conversation and Sedhor, well, he was more concerned with his cards, it seemed. The dragon princess inched over to her older sibling Fate and quietly asked, "Anything new happen when I was gone? "

After Reaper got done, the three were dismissed and sent to their quarters to await further instructions. Lust was more disgusted by this whole ordeal then the others knew. Reaper could punish her all he wanted, and she knew their time was limited. She looked at the other two and decided on a course of action.

"Listen up. The boss is going to kill us off soon enough. He can rip the stones from our chests and that is that. We need to put distance between us and him. He is still formulating his next plan for us, and I think we don't want to be here when he does. It's a losing battle, as we have already seen the enemies and they are a lot stronger than before. So, I say we get out of here and run for safety."

Not getting any argument from either of them, in fact Envy smiled which almost scared her. Gluttony just sat there waiting for Lust to make a move.

"We need to make our way out, but there are going to be guards. Envy, if you try to fight them, that will alarm the boss. So, I propose that we let Gluttony take care of them. "

She looked at the fat little homunculus and smiled. "Hungry Gluttony? I think there will be a lot for you to eat. " She turned to Envy, "Just one thing we need from you right now, can you break that door down, quietly?"

Envy gave her a wicked smile. "Sure thing." And with that, he grabbed onto the handle of the door. It surprised him how easily he was able to snap it off and he pushed the other side of the mechanism out. He quickly opened the door and caught the other side of the lock before it hit the floor.

He looked down the corridor and there were no guards, so he motioned the others to come out. As they made their way down one hallway to another, they finally ran into two guards patrolling. Before they could react, Envy grabbed on and threw it toward Gluttony. The once docile homunculus opened his mouth wide and one guard was quickly disposed of, while the other tried to fight off Envy, That was a lost battle and soon, he too was thrown into Gluttony's waiting jaw.

It all took less than a minute, and the three were again on the move. Gluttony was still licking his lips when they made their way to the exit, only to be met by two more guards. Things went just as smoothly in dispatching those two as the first. As soon as they were out of the way, Envy gave a mighty shove and the door opened. The three ran from the hidden bunker and made their way over a sandy dune. Once they were certain they were not being followed, they stayed low and headed due west.

A few hours later, they had made their way into the main town and keeping in the shadows, found their way to the old church. Once inside, they found the old entrance to the underground lair, and made their way down. Here was home, and here was relative safety, at least for the time being. It gave Lust time to figure out their next move, whatever it might be.

*Tessiel and Mhedhaidh*

Tessiel woke up, and instantly knew he was trapped, he intermediately felt his grace contained in something small, like a small bottle but oddly enough he wasn't uncomfortable. He felt the pure soul of his thief that wasn't his thief yet around him, this thief was sleep, so he went to talk to him in the dream, there was something that woke him up that needed his full attention.

“Boy, we need to wake up” He said walking inside an empty room, he then saw his thief reading a big book. “I need to be free, I need to protect those my Father commanded my to protect”

Mhedhaidh looked at him with the innocence of a little boy, but returned to his reading, Tess didn't have the patience to deal with the little boy.

“I know what is going to happen” Tess felt fear like he hasn't in some time, behind him by the door was his thief, all grown up and darkness, but there wasn't the same evil that was in the original thief he first meet in this word. “ and what you will do”

“YOU!!!... ”

“She's going to destroy this universe and you're going to pierce the veil of the multiverses, that rip will weaken the veil, allowing part of that power bleed into that universe, destroying it too. ” He talked like remembering a far distant memory.

“If you're trying to trick me again! I wont listen a word” Tessiel went to the side of the little boy. “Hey, woke up! we need to woke up! Boy!”

“Lend me your power and I will take them to a safe universe” Tessiel glared at the man. “NO! I won't never let such a creature like you have the heavenly power again”

“So it be” the man said and extended his hand, the little boy stood up and went to him, the boy put a bottle of gold glowing in his hand on the man's hand.

“You thief!!” Tessiel screamed as pain surged trough all his being.

Mhedhaidh woke up. He can feel the grace under his skin, but there wasn't any time to contemplate the power that creature had. He closed his eyes and searched for the presence of the people he knew in this place.


[*B]Roy Mustang, Risa Hackweye Edward and Alphonse Elric, Winry Rockwell and Kids, May Chang *

“This is very strange, all the dragon guards are gone” Ed said to Roy.

“It's feels like a storm in the distance” He looked at eldest Elric trying to find a answer. “We should leave” those words barely exited his lips, the young redhead was at their side, he put his hand on their faces and the three of them disappeared.

Risa sat down finally allowing her to rest, Winry and her kids were asleep on the bed just at the other side of the room. She felt the sleep crawl slowly, then a bit of wind on her face and she was sleep.

Mhedhaidh then returned for Winry and the kids and visited Alphonse who was still sleeping in other room near. He remembered the girl on that other place and went to fetch her, May Chang how was watching the talking between the emperor and the other foul creature.

He knew very well that if he tried to save them, then he won't be able to change their future, and he already had paid too much for stop now. For all the lives that were going to be lost in few moments, saving them this few was the key to give all of them a second chance.

Now time to leave, and let the fierce dragon do her job. He has done his. He flapped once his borrowed wings and returned to where the time began, before the multiverses were created, taking care of the precious cargo his heart was carrying out and searched for a world that suited them.
