Welcome to Gaia! ::

''So... How many casulities are we expecting?'' she looked at them waiting for an answer she needed to know what she may be up against so that she was able to prioritise the treatment that needed to be given.

She simply nodded as she walked out of the elevator, looking around she was surprised to find herself nervous she looked at her hands and saw them trembling slightly so she quickly shoved them into her pockets hoping no one noticed as she concentraed on other things, things that were far more important than the uneasiness that ran through her.

Negative Zero chased Crow closely, only stopping to take a swipe at his feet as Crow jumped away. As he stepped into the arena himself Negative Zero cracked his neck from side to side in one invisibly fast blur. His eyes scanned the area around them, the lights were bright and the terrain was flat, he spat a black oozing mass onto the ground. The viscous liquid quickly burned and burrowed into the material creating a sizable hole. The area would not hold up to a direct showdown between the two of them. Negative Zero raised his left blade into the air, then brought it down in a slow, rounding swipe. This opened a slit of a portal into his dimension, a hellish world of only single tones of black and red. In the blink of an eye he dashed through the portal and into Crow, stretching the fabric of space with his speed to carry his foe with him.

Crow would not be able to sense Negative Zero, they were in his dimension now, and like an animal's territory his presence was everywhere. From above Crow he came down like lightning with a black katana that held a red glow. Head-first he plunged downwards and slashed downwards, with much power behind both hands.

Silfina wondered for awhile, walking into unknown territory. She had only been down here a few times, and wasn't sure where everything was. After walking for what seemed like hours, she has stumbled upon a random hot spring. I had a wooden dividing wall more or less to keep the men away from the ladies, or was it vise versa?.... She really did feel like relaxing but wasn't sure if it was a trap laid down by a pervert with binoculars located in a comedic position. She was just a little paranoid from the days previous events. There was also a small building, most likely of Japanese construction. It looked like the old dojos she had seen in movies, but a lot smaller. Inside there was a small sitting area that branched off into two other rooms. each room was labeled with a little man or woman. Silfina wanted to check this place out, but she knew not to enter the men's area. The only option was the female's room. It looked like any normal changing room, there were woven shelfs to hold your belongings, bamboo benches to sit on, and even a few mirrors to get all dolled up.

(I am not a pervert.....)

Negative Zero recovered and quickly cut into the stream of energy fired, absorbing it into his blade. It glowed with Crow's attack for a brief instant, then he swung the katana back downwards, it unleashed the tainted energy in blade-like form before Crow could manipulate it. The black crescents tore up the ground they stood upon as the quickly closed in on Crow.

Negative Zero hadn't expected a second reversal, he didn't have much time to react. He threw his arms up to block the bird-like blast, it created a gigantic explosion that easily enveloped himself and a large area around him. It was draining, but he was able to prevent most of the damage. From here, still surrounded by the light of the explosion he dissapeared, to where it was unknown.
