Welcome to Gaia! ::

INSTALLMENT #1 IS HERE! Enjoy... ninja

And so, the time had come. The fallen had been revived, and they formulated their plans. Crono, D.K., NEG, ad Tindzel still held their captain ranks, which meant they could grant access to anyone of the Polling Alley members who wanted to venture with them to take down Mlhagalia. Some wondered who would watch over Poll Central once Mlhagalia had been exiled from it, and few knew who would. She was a reserve moderator who went by the tag of "Neonibbles". She was the last moderator, as well as the least known, because unlike her sisters in power, she was not power hungry. Neonibbles was content being able to watch over the guild and keep everyone happy, as well as enforce the rules when required. She should've been considered the "true" mother of the members.
Lead by Suzaka, who was most determined to end the tyrannical ways of Mlhagalia, the group of eighteen members marched through the portal into Poll Central. As they arrived, they were surprised. It was barren. There were no members running around throwing gold out to others, the slave auctions were empty, and all that remained was the brown grass, barren trees, and the towering Moderator Central building. In the nine months Poll Central had existed, never was there a day when it was barren. They could not even spy a greedy lurker who kept to the ground, searching for left over gold.
"This is weird, even for me." D.K. stated, puffing his cigarette again, blowing the smoke up into the air (as if the place needed more pollution).
A bunch of them nodded, and C.C., who somehow had a plan, stepped out. "Alright, I think I know what we should do. There's obviously something wrong here, so we should send some people INTO the MC, and leave some out. Since I doubt it's possible to fit 6718 inside of there, people must be hiding out here. So, we'll send a party inside, and leave some outside."
"Who should be in that party?" Piya asked, peeking out from the line.
"Well..." C.C. started, stepping out totally from the line and pacing from start to finish of the line to pick out 'soldiers'.

Moments later, Tindzel, Crono, D.K., NEG, Suzaka, TinDragon, and Aislinn had stepped out of line and to the front of the Mod Central. They knew that was where Mlhagalia must've been, and in the event anyone had been defeated, Aislinn had to be there to revive them. God forbid that she may fall facing the witch, she would be guarded by Blends and Halykon. If they were to fall, at least she could revive them, as it would be pretty hard to bring yourself back to life.
The rest of the waved them in, as they pulled open the gigantic doors, and all stepped inside. "Think they'll get her?" Kai asked Maha, who she was staying close to, not only out of fear, but love.
"Of course they will." He said reassuringly, while he actually doubted it a little. If Mlhagalia was stronger then DemonGodddess, who had killed him no more then 5 hours ago, they would be in for one hell of a ride.

Outside, in the center of Barton Town, Lanzer, VO, Locke, and Jakobo gathered. Today was the special day that they would select new moderators, but the progress was always discreet. They kept an eye out, over the course of a year, watching who was reliable, who seemed to enforce and obey the rules, and report when it was needed. And strangely, out of over the population of 1,000,000, the moderators only had chose six people who would watch over the whole of GAIA. "Just goes to show how unreliable some people are." VO sighed, shaking his head.
"Better to have a few good mods rather then a bunch of untrustworthy ones." Lanzer said coolly, and the other administrators couldn't help but agree. He had grown accustomed to the nature of the people. He was, and stil is, the creator of GAIA, and still ran it, working non-stop in an effort to make the people he watched over happy. Everyone (well...aside from a few idiots) had respect for Lanzer, and for all the work he had done through GAIA's two years of existence.
The new batch had not been chosen by Lanzer, but rather by the other three. Each picked two of whom they thought were best to watch over GAIA. They had taken their own notes, and then written the six people down on another sheet of paper. They had all decided that at 12:00, they would call all of the Gaians to Barton Town, and announce their new guardians. Among them, the second one picked by Jakobo, was Mlhagalia.

"The hell happened here?" Blends questioned aloud, still standing in front of Aislinn, but like everyone else, looking around absently. The well furnished building had turned into a gigantic towering dungeon in less then 3 hours. The once carpet lined floors were now hard rough stone with moss growing in-between the cracks. The tapestry that once hung on the walls magnificently were now torn and decrepit. From a mansion to a dungeon, they had all thought.
"So how do we know where to go now? It's like the place has been shuffled." Suzaka asked, looking around. The building did indeed look shuffled...except for the spiral staircase, directly straight from the entrance, as it had always been. Of course, there was a problem.
There was a big chunk of stairs missing.
Tindzel and NEG, however, thought this would be interesting. Both of them were huge gamers (not to say the others didn't play video games, but these two played them as a religious practice). Like a dungeon in a game, there was something somewhere to help them cross. Of course, the stakes were higher here, but the principle was the same.
Without saying anything, they both stepped out and walked further down, examining the dungeon, looking for anything suspicious or out of the ordinary. Aside from the broken staircase, there was a passage to the left, to the right, and one at the cross-section of the two leading down.
"Alright." Tindzel spoke, walking back to the group. "We have 9 people here, and three passages. We'll break into parties of three, and examine. I'll go with Crono and Suzaka. NEG, you go with D.K. and TinDrag-"
"Hey, wait a minute!" she interrupted, "Why should I have to go with D.K.?"
"Oh...right." he said, scratching the back of his head, "Ok, I'll go with Suzaka and D.K., NEG will go with Crono and TinDragon, and Aislinn goes with her gaurds. I'll go down the center, NEG's group will take the left, and Aislinn's group, take the right."
Everyone nodded, seeing this would be the best way to go. Everyone went their separate way, searching for something that may lead to Kesshutsu's Office. Or, as it was known now with the building's renovations, Mlhagalia's Layer.

Outside, where the remaining Polling Alley members stood guard, watching for anything suspicious. Among themselves they decided if they didn't see anything in an hour, they would rush inside to help. Besides, nothing was going on. A calm wind blew, and they were all just standing guard, waiting...and waiting, and waiting.
"Think they're all ok?" Plushie asked, sort of bored now.
"They should be. Besides, chances are it's only Mlhagalia in there." Piya responded reassuringly. Although, she would've liked to have gone in, too, she knew those nine were the best suited.
Suddenly, they all heard rustles. All glancing around, they saw nothing. Could it have come from the tower? No, this sounded more like grass, or leaves. Another rustle. Now everyone was worried, and, with good reason. Members of Poll Central, seemingly out of nowhere, began pouring into the fields. The strange thing was, their eyes were strange, like little light holes.
"ZOMBIES!" Kai shrieked out of impulse, and while it sounded ridiculous, it couldn't of been closer to the truth. The mob of mindless drones continued marching towards them, and Maha pulled out his fishing rod.
"Comon, if they can take Mlhagalia, we can take some drones!" he shouted, sprinting out of the line and over to one of the drones, smashing it's head with his strength rod. It fell down almost right after.
Feeling encouraged, everyone rushed out, determined to protect themselves from these zombies who served under the witch Mlhagalia.

Oooh nice. You know, I should read the first chapters. For some reason, I have only read the last ones. Well, the story must be pretty good for me to like it with only reading the last half. xp
