Welcome to Gaia! ::

Something about the night didn't feel quite right to him. He wasn't sure if it was something that smelled different in the air or some other thing that he couldn't see with his eyes, but something was setting the hairs on his arms up and he felt an overwhelming sense of something bad happening.

It didn't help that he thought he felt the aura of a Corrupt Senshi in the area. He was only just heading back from patrol around the reservoir, getting closer to the city. He would have powered down, but he didn't want to be caught by an Agent as a civilian in the more out of the way parts of the area. If he was caught as a civilian within the city, at least someone might find him if he survived an attack.

He was sure that there was someone somewhere out there tonight, possibly looking at him to either fight or in the worst case, kill. It wouldn't be surprising, even if Agents didn't need to take energy some of them liked to take starseeds for the thrill. He would have to fight one of those eventually, and if it were tonight... hopefully he could send a signal out in time. The main problem was the fact that these agents could teleport. So he would have to keep his guard up the entire time, making sure that even someone teleported right next to him, he would be able to react.

Unfortunately for Sumner, the aura got closer as well and in the dim light he could see that there was something... two somethings? Suddenly he realized that they must have had something to do with the Chaos aura "Sh-" before he could complete the curse that he wanted to let loose, suddenly, the two humanoid figures were dancing and well, so was he!

It didn't last long though as once he had been forced to bow, he was suddenly he could feel pain both in front and behind him! He felt himself fall to the ground and various pain points on his body. Everywhere hurt! "Sh*t." He said as he panted, attempting to get his bearings. It had definitely been a trap and with that kind of attack it had to have been from a Senshi, unless Agents now had explosives as weapons.

He managed to roll over a few times, away from the area and knew that he was in trouble. He was sure that this attack was meant to keep him down, either to take his energy or worse. And he bet that the Senshi could use it at least one or two more times if his experience with other Senshi told him anything.

And he was compelled to dance with those weird doll things as well. No, this wasn't a battle that he would be winning anytime soon. And sometimes, running away was the best option. After all, it would be better to have a Squire who was still alive than a dead one.

So, he got to his feet as quickly as he could and ran. He couldn't power down yet as he knew that the Senshi could go after him, teleport, etc. But they would both have to get tired of it sometime, and then he would be able to power down, but for now, running was what he needed to do.

The Corrupt definitely wasn't giving up. And Sumner was sure that he was enjoying the chase as well. So far however he hadn't decided to attack again, yet. Sumner was sure that he would, which is why he had quickly sent out a distress signal. Whether anyone would answer it was anyone's guess. He was never sure how many Order were out and about that could or would respond to such a signal.

He felt the aura of the Corrupt in another tree and from the corner of his eye could see that something was coming out of it. No, he was not going to fall for it again!

He started to head in another direction, much like a deer when zig-zagging through the forest to get away from a wolf. It was times like this that he hated how his magic worked. It seemed to be a detriment most of the time, rather than helping him in any way, and had barely ever been useful in group situations.

But if he had to keep running he would, he only wished he could do it with is eyes closed.

Sumner cursed himself for stopping instead of slamming straight into the corrupt who had decided to teleport in front of him. As much as he wished he had done it, would have been partly satisfying to see the Corrupt knocked to the ground, he could have hurt himself in the process.

He did however, manage to dodge the punch that was sent his way. Obviously the Corrupt hadn't been trying or it would have been much harder to dodge consider how close they were to each other. Instead he took a jump back. "I know my limits at least." He said to the other, still wishing he could use his magic on himself.

He didn't know how many times the Corrupt could use his magic so unless he ran blindly past the other, he may get caught in another explosion. Then he felt it. The aura of another Order, Knight at that, coming toward the both of them at a fast rate. Before he could do anything else, the Knight was there between the two of them, keeping his back to Sumner.



Alphubel had only gone out tonight to look at the stars once again, still powered in case anything happened while he was out and unfortunately, or perhaps fortunately for the Squire who needed his help, something had happened.

Alphubel made his way towards the Squire and what appeared to be a Corrupt near each other which could only mean one of two things. They were having a nice conversation with each other, doubtful, or they were fighting. And when he finally saw the two of them, it was definitely the latter, though the Squire appeared to be trying to get away from all of it and was being chased by the Corrupt.

He made his way towards the two of them and put himself in-between the Squire and the Corrupt. "We're ending this. Now." He said as he put his staff out in front of him and started to channel his magic. "You need to get going." He said to the Squire. He looked at the Corrupt again. "You should go as well."
