Welcome to Gaia! ::

Upon reaching the Lunar Base, a place now filled with many corrupted scientist's and Soldier's to guard the station should anything happen, the Ragnarok II began to carefully near the ship to the Docking Bay. Though no one left the airship, they're only reason for coming was to fuel up. Then, when they had enough they would leave until they had each Sorceress freed then return. Seifer stood, becoming irritated at how slow they were being. It was a lot of work lining up perfectly to refuel!

Soon enough, the Ragnarok II lined up as they began to fuel the airship.."Damn slow...Hurry the hell up already.."

"....You wont suceed....Seifer..." Rinoa said quietly, having been awake for the past few minutes again. "What ever you're goal is, you will fail just like you always do. I won't do anything, no matter what you do. Nothing will make me unseal any other Sorceress's...Nothing.." Rinoa's tone of voice seemed deeply saddened, just thinking of all that happening all over again, maybe in different ways but still...it was the same. To use her to unseal some dangerous and deadly Sorceress.And she only thought it was one yet, she didn't know it was four others with the main one he was trying to save. "What happened to you...You know you will only be used if you get you're wish...She will never like you, or care for you...You will be nothing...And alone. "

Seifer turned away from the windows, as he had been standing there looking out into space. Taking a few steps toward Rinoa, Seifer raised his hand toward her, for a second it looked as though he were going to slap her again! But, instead..He just grabbed the young women's chin. "You don't have a choice. Do you think I would go through all this trouble if I knew I had no way of making you do it? It will happen. You will be the one to free them, and there is nothing you can do about it." He tightend his grip on her just enough to cause a little pain. "I will not be alone...Not anymore..Starting soon, I will be the Sorceress Knight...It's time for my dreams to come true! " Letting her go, the blond turned away, returning his gaze to the window once more.

Rinoa looked away, while her free hand rubbed her chin where he was holding her in a rather painful way! "You will never be this fantasy world of a Knight. So long as you do bad and hurt people, you are just a dreamer, living in a world that will never be! You know who the true Knight is?! Squall! He will always be better then you, because he does good. He follows the right path, unlike you! You, Seifer, will never be like him...You are just a joke.." Rinoa stood suddenly, trying her best to fight back tears. It wasn't like her to say such things, but...it was true. As long as Seifer did these things he would never live up to his dream.

She could see Seifer's fists tightening, as though he was trying to control himself from taking her out right there. The moment he turned toward her, though...Rinoa suddenly collapsed to her knees! "N-No!! Not again.....I won't! I won't do this! " She gasped out, her body suddenly beginning to give off a faint glow as a sort of barrier began to form in a transparent like state around her. "Squall!" Was her last words before control of her own mind and body was no longer hers.Seifer would hear a voice in his mind now, the voice of Alanah, telling him what to do. Rinoa's form began to stand, as the Sorceress took control for the brief amount of time and began to make her walk toward the Aisle, where there were suits and the airlock chamber. "She won't need a suit. I have a special barrier around her.. For now, until she has served her perpus." The voice said to Seifer as they began to head there. Seifer stayed in the area though, while the evil Sorceress used Rinoa's body to eventaually open the hatch door and leave the airship. In the distance, anyone looking, would see a massive structure of golden light and one single figure of a women inside.The women had long crimson hair, dressed in armor like clothing, though much more lady like...

Rinoa was lead by the power of the one controlling her, until she was there in front of the sealed women. At first, Rinoa seemed to struggle against the control, until Alanah took her oxygen away for a moment to scare her. A bit of scaring would do. Again, she had gained full control as Rinoa began to reach out to the coding panel. Pushing the right codes in, the sound of gears and air could be heard, spoke flowing out from the seal as it began to unlock!

Seifer stood up, deep teal green eye's gazing into the womens own. He couldn't even believe this was happening. He wanted to be a Sorceress Knight forever, but of one of such beauty? "...As..you wish..My lady... " He said in almost a trance like state. As she spoke of Rinoa, all he did was nod. "No one to stop us...Our time is finally here. She will be gone, and we together, can destroy Squall...And everyone else who's ever caused a problem. " He glanced to Rinoa, just as the Ragnarok had stopped again for the next set of Sorceress's. Lucky for them, they were all close together. All four of them in there sealed prisons.

Far below the station and the Ragnarok, there had been a small object, not even approaching the massive Ragnarok's size, accelerating through the atmosphere. It had actually started this a while ago, and it's timing turned out to be near-perfect. Just after the Sorceress's had vanished from space, the fighter-craft had shot by the Ragnarok, traveling well in excess of the speed of sound in an atmosphere. The thruster's came down and around, suddenly rapidly reversing that thrust as it closed on Rinoa. The cockpit opened with barely any leaked air, showing it had already depressurized, and a single figure seemed to almost fly out of the cockpit. The figure was wearing some sort of full body armor. His aim was almost perfect, catching Rinoa right in his arm's as his tether cable snapped taught and he rebounded, drifting back into the cockpit, where he closed it and set Rinoa into a seat as air filled the cockpit. Once he had her strapped in, he seated himself and quickly strapped himself in with an air of long practice. "If your conscious back there, brace yourself. This is going to get bumpy." The figure said, accelerating again. However, the fighter was going to be severely limited in it's combat and evasive capability, as this thing could pull the G's to splatter a human against the windshield if they weren't wearing proper protection and strapped in. Unlike the Ragnarok, the Jade Falcon possessed next to no inertial dampening technology, so the passenger's would feel everything it did. He began turning the fighter, hoping to get back into Earth's atmosphere before the larger ship could stop him.

"Lean your head back, try to keep it from bouncing around too much." Arcene said, quickly manipulating the control's as the hellstorm of firepower came after him. He had been hoping for a little more distance before this started. So now he was stuck trying to outmaneuver and outgun the Ragnarok. He hit the thruster's, causing the plane to flip over, now essentially flying upside down and backwards. The two small laser's mounted on the nose of the fighter began shooting, not at the incoming missiles, but past them, trying to riddle the Ragnarok with enough holes to distract the mages that were attacking. Missiles he should be able to take, but mages with a passenger that wasn't armored or in any kind of flight suit... that could be an issue. As he fired, arms came out from under the wings and the thrusters and attaching components became legs. The tri-barreled machine gun that was normally under-mounted was being held in the hands, and it started firing as the legs aimed towards the front and the thrusters fired, speeding the veritech up as he fired the gun at the missile's, blasting steady amounts out of the air, and hopefully igniting chain reactions amongst them to destroy more. He just needed to get back into orbit and covered long enough to drop Rinoa somewhere she could be safe.

"By the gods..." Arcene muttered as he saw the destruction being wreaked upon the planet by these five sorceress's. He hadn't seen mass destruction on this scale for a long time. Suddenly he wished he had access to the Super-Dimensional Fortress's Reflex Battery. Then he shook off the morbid thought. The Ragnarok was a significantly smaller target, and also much less sturdy, as the laser marks on it's hull attested. He should be able to deal with it if those mages were to distracted to propperly sheild it. He sent his plane into a frenzied roll, mentally apologizing for the jarring Rinoa was probably going to get from it. Forget whiplash, at this rate he had to hope she didn't get any trauma injuries. The roll sent the missiles spiraling past, unable to keep up with this craft in this form. It was the slowest but most maneuverable of the three modes. He reversed his flightpath again, suddenly heading straight at the Ragnarok. His only chance at averting a total global disaster was to destroy that ship and the mages inside it. Even toasting the ship should do it, the mages would need most of there power to survive the detonation and the vacuum. it would at least be a delay. He led with a wrist mounted cannon on the mecha's left arm, firing two green Destabilizer blast's in rapid succession. any barrier's that got in a blast's way would have a hole torn in it as it's structure was destabilized, allowing follow-up attacks to pass through. He followed that up by simply holding down the trigger on the machine gun as parts all over his mecha opened up, a large number of missile's roaring out from all over the plane, tight behind the destabilizer blasts, as the nose laser's traced a weave around the weapons fire, also firing towards the Ragnarok. This was this units equivilent of an Alpha Strike, firing off everything it mounted in one, massive blast, to simply try to overwhelm any defenses and destroy the target. Immediatly following this, three small glowing domes of energy appeared on the Jade Falcon, each a small barrier field to help deflect incoming weapons fire.
