Welcome to Gaia! ::

At the coastline, there were xenomorph's emerging from the water. First were groups of drone's, which immediatly began creating these globs of acid, which they then spat out towards the low flying pheonix, forcing it up and away as the other Xenomorph's quickly left the water, moving in a spread mass towards the safety of the forest, because Garnet and pheonix coudnt light it on fire, or else the town within would burn as well, killing those she was trying to save.

Soon enough, the Xenomorph's were flitting through the town, and already had around thirty six percent of the population dead before one ever saw garnet, where it then hissed and rushed at her, other Xeno's also rushing her as well, thanks to a strange priority from the mind of the one who was leading them in the queen's absence.

The Xenomorph's quickly began flitting between buildings, using them as cover against the pheonix so it coudnt hit them without likely hitting the building too. This kind of tactic's was beyond there normal spectrum, but it had been ordered by the leader, as he was on his way towards the location where the single human and her summon were putting up resistence, even as more of the town's poulation is killed by Xeno's throought the town. The numbers had already dropped from the several hundred to just shy of twohundred fifty people in the whole town. One of the Xeno drone's suddenly popped out from behind a building, lobbing a glob of acid directly at Garnet.

The Xeno's quickly died out there assualt, realizing it was worthless with pheonix there, instead returning to there original duty, going into house's and killing all inside, as Arcene was approaching Garnet and Pheonix.

Arcene came into the square garnet and the other's were in, even as a scream could be heard as a women tried to sprint to her, but was suddenly tackled between building's by a xeno warrior and consequently torn apart. "Garnet, please, stop a moment and listen." He says, as the xeno's suddenly stopped killing, as a sort of middle ground. There were still a half dozen people alive, most of them in a grip with Xeno's that would turn deadly in an instant. But she could fly away and condemn them to death. "The other children of the queen have several of these creature's still alive. Fly away, and they die. Dont, and listen to me, and they may survive this. come away from your bird, and let us talk."

"Of course." Arcene says, gesturing towards the Xeno's. Suddenly, all but one releases it's catch, the surprised and terriefied villager's fleeing quickly from the village. However, there was still a man, old aged, being held there. "He is simple insurance. After all, You could try to attack me." Arcene says, as the xeno's nearby backed away from the two of them, seeming to fade away, leaving the village eerily empty but for the man and the single Xeno on the opposite end of the town square holding him.

Arcene shrugs. "As I said, simple insurance. dont attack, and he will live." He says. "Now then, down to business. I'll put it simply. I know what you were planning to do, get out the villager's then burn the forest and village to kill as many of the queen's children as you can. The queen has been thinking for some time, ever since I came into her collective actually, about you. Not just you, but all of you. Aerith, cloud, all of them, special in some way, all having fought JENOVA and sephiroth the first time around. but im getting off track. We have a deal for you. This, this is simply a survival of the fittest situation. There are two species on a planet which can only have one of them. I wish to propose a truce of sort's between yourselves and us. Your race and there's have to fight, they cant leave, and neither can we, and only one group can survive. However, you Garnet, you have no personal stake in the fate of this world, And the others have already fulfilled there debt to this planet." Arcene was saying, pacing in a small line as he talked, the occasional gesture coming out as well.
