Kieo1 Posted 12/30/2007 10:21:28 PM: "Thanks for the tip I'm actually hopping that it leads to something else. And of course here you go just don't burn yourself. But wait so if all angeluses come from Liam and Leira Raine . . . damn that's a lot of reproducing in 200 years. Alright but after you've got all this information, how about we all head to the Man Eating Ruins together."
"After all we're all scratching each other's backs so ya know we should . . . become travel buddies," Roy said handing Cheska her tea.
----------------------------------------------------------------
LennaSuzaka Posted 12/30/2007 10:30:17 PM: ~Cheska~
She turned her head away from Lune just for a moment, intrigued by Roy's words.
"Travel buddies, hm? You really believe that I should ditch my lap for traveling?" She said as she pushed up the rim of her glasses. Are you really that foolish?"
----------------------------------------------------------------
RusherMan Posted 12/30/2007 10:50:27 PM: Name: Krysta Dalforia Gender: Female Race: Well, she's mostly elf, but she's got some human blood in her. Let's just call her an Elf. Looks: 18 Real age: 56 Relatives: Henry Dalforia: Grandfather Unknown Elf: Grandmother Cyrus Dalforia: Father Patricia Dalforia: Mother(Deceased) Weapon of Choice: Elbow Blades(You know Talim from the Soul Calibur series? Yeah. Think her weapons.), Summoning Artes, Minor healing artes, can play Mana hymns on an Ocarina. Appearance: She has long, pale violet hair and gray eyes. She wears a blue-green t-shirt over a white undershirt with brown pants. she wears a pendant that her grandfather gave to her, although it is somewhat worn down due to the passage of time. Bio: Krysta is the Granddaughter of one of the Eight Heroes, Henry Dalforia the Spellweaver. She knew she was destined for greatness, but this was only confirmed due to a journey she had to take to the past to help her Grandfather five years ago today. Now that Henry has sensed a new evil that seeks to undo all the Eight Heroes have worked so hard to accomplish, will Krysta be able to defeat it, even with help? --- It was nighttime in the forest. Not really the best time or place to be traveling, but Krysta didn't have much of a choice. She didn't bring any money with her, so whichever hotel she went to had her kicked out. "Jeez, Louise, haven't they heard of helping people in need?" Krysta sighed angrily, kicking herself mentally over not bringing any money whatsoever. How would she be able to deal with this "New evil" that her grandfather had sensed if she was deprived of rest, ill equipped, and on her own? And who was this "New Evil" anyway? She had no idea, but whoever it was didn't like things the way they were now. She saw an old house through the branches of the trees, and decided to stay there for the night. What she wasn't expecting was that there were others inside the house, and that their encounter with each other would change all of their lives forever...
----------------------------------------------------------------
Kieo1 Posted 12/30/2007 11:00:41 PM: "Master mieu there's someone outside," Zieo said running away from the window.
"Alright thanks for the tip was it that person chasing Arke?" Roy asked.
"Nope. It was a female," Zieo said drinking his water.
"Thanks," Roy said.
~?~
"Hmm I haven't see Henry in a while. Nah to busy I'll pay him a visit sooner or later. He's got a long life too so he should still be alive, I hope," the person said flying away from the orphanage.
----------------------------------------------------------------
LennaSuzaka Posted 12/30/2007 11:03:08 PM: ~Cheska~
"It seems you really want me to join, huh? Well, I guess I could pack some of my tests. I'm in. Besides you just fixed my tea the way I would like it on your first try. Three sugars, of course! So, I guess I'm in!" She smiled a little.
She felt a presence around her.
'Someone . . . out there? Nah . . .'
~Shinta~
"Hmm . . . he's around, huh? Good. At least he's always been on my side. When I kill off those three, I will pay a little visit and find out how I could cause more damage to the angelus and humans." He turned over again.

LennaSuzaka Posted 12/30/2007 11:05:19 PM: "Wait, female? Hm. Why do I get so many visitors?"
----------------------------------------------------------------
Kieo1 Posted 12/30/2007 11:10:02 PM: "Alright then. So me, Zieo, Arke, Cheska...Lune are you with us or what. I mean sure Cheskas' got to run her tests and stuff first but then of course would you travel with us. Man Eating Ruins we'll be there eventually. That presence...it feels friendly enough. And wow all it took for you to join was me fixing tea sweet. And I just put it how I normally have my tea."
"Sometimes when I use my lightening arts I can heat it up better," Roy said sipping his tea rather loudly.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Kieo1 Posted 12/30/2007 11:11:41 PM: "Maybe you're really popular. It's a sign. Showing that you will prosper," Roy grinned.
----------------------------------------------------------------
LennaSuzaka Posted 12/30/2007 11:15:53 PM: ~Cheska~
"Aha. Maybe I do have some common interests with other people on this planet. I think I may tag around longer than I thought." She smiled before she became serious. It was a first that someone was not perverted towards her and it made her feel a little better.
"But before we leave, I must know more about Lune. Not to mention if she agrees to cooperate with me, I must take a blood
----------------------------------------------------------------
lancer1237 Posted 12/31/2007 1:51:49 AM: ~Reyson~
"Yes sir." Reyson said standing to attention from one Drake's head officer calls. Drake stood close to him.
"Take the angelus out into the feilds. The labour will stimulate the stones." The soldier said to them. This piece of information made Reyson's ears stand to attenition.
"We will how many are there?" Drake asked.
"About 100." The senior captain replied.
"100...lives." Reyson said in disbelief.
"You got something to say rookie!" The soldier looked at him scornfuly.
"No sir!" Reyson said with flase respect.
"Oh my god. This is like hemaroids for the ears!" Malix said in Reyson's head.
"They are handcuffed and their mana's restricted. We are really glad your here Drake, with Widdershins recent activites we are incrediably understaffed. So just take them out into the feild with your new recruit they need to out there for at least 6 hours. It will be boring but there is nothing that we can do."
"Excellent. Just enough time to move them to the vigilance" Reyson thought. "This was almost too easy."
"Herm lets go." Drake said taking his fake protege with him.
~In the feilds~
"Reyson they are gone. This should be our chance." Drake said.
"Ok. Listen up everyone." Reyson called out. The angelus battered bruised and tired looked at him grimly. "I am here to free you all at lady Serenity's request. We are going to escape onboard one of our ships. We need to move south of here and fast." Reyson told them.
"Is he serious." A voice came from the crowd.
"He is. Now everyone listen up. Stay in groups and watch yourselves we dont want anyone getting lost. Just head towards the airship you will see it if you head straight south." Drake shouted to them.
The angelus began to move out of the area.
"I guess we stay here then....for now." Reyson said.
"Yes. No doubt the watch tower has seen there movements and is sending some troops to aprehand us." Drake sighed.
"Oh yeah baby. Finally I can make Rey-Rey strecth those oh so pitiful muscles. Slaughter and the feel of blood on a cold blade. AWHOO this just made my hour." Malix taunted.
"I loathe you!" Reyson called as a small vanguard of men came out of the gates.
Via communicator "Rey we will get as close as we can to the angelus. We should meet up with them in about 20 minutes if they head in the specified direction." The communication stopped.
"Hey dont call me Rey! And...weren't they supposed to be understaffed." Reyson said pointing a fingre at them.

shadow5565 Posted 12/31/2007 8:48:02 AM: ~Lune~
"Cheska you were right. My parents are Airez and Leira Raine. You see angelus can live much longer and look much younger than they actually do. But me and my brother have been around for about 200 years." Lune explained.
"So where's your brother now?" Arke blurted out. "He thinks that I'm dead, and wants revenge. He's getting revenge by killing people, just random people."
"Cheska, Roy! That man that was trying to kill me! Thats your brother Lune?!"
"Yes the one with blue hair and eyes." Lune stared at the ground.
"How can you two even be related?! He's a total creep and your-" "Never call my brother a creep, Arke!" A few moments of silence passed.
"So what should we do now? And guys I'm coming with you, like it or not!" Lune said.
----------------------------------------------------------------
LennaSuzaka Posted 12/31/2007 9:02:43 AM: ~Cheska~
"I say we head for the Man-Eating ruins. But before that . . . The blood sample." Cheska stood from her seat and reached in her pocket. She pulled out a syringe and looked at Lune.
"Well since you're the daughter of an original "angel", I guess it's safe to say that your blood will give me far better leads to the cure than just any angelus. Don't worry, this needle is new. I never use dirty needles. Now, hold still." Cheska said as Lune had done so without a fight.
Carefully, she inspected for a nice vein and slid the needle into her skin. After a few moments, she drew the blood.
"Now, that wasn't so bad. I will keep the sample and perform experimentations on it later. Thank you, Lune. Oh yeah, before we forget . . . how are we supposed to diverge ourselves from that blue haired man? There's a pretty good chance he'll show up to kill you tomorrow, Arke, because he didn't kill you today."
----------------------------------------------------------------
shadow5565 Posted 12/31/2007 9:10:36 AM: "Hey, Cheska." Lune began. "I have an idea. I heard from Arke that you wanted to capture my brother, right? Wouldn't more samples benefit you?"
"I know a way but I can't be seen by him. As long as I hide out of sight I should be able to do it. All you guys have to do is engage him for a few seconds."
"But what if he kills me in those few seconds?" Arke asked.
"Don't worry I have a trick up my sleeve." Lune answered slyly
----------------------------------------------------------------
LennaSuzaka Posted 12/31/2007 9:22:44 AM: ~Cheska~
"That would be exceptional to capture him. Good idea!" She said placing the teacups in the sink (deja vu?).
She looked outside to find dawn approaching.
"Have we sat around here that long? My goodness! Well, let's get going." She stated suiting up a few of her vials and experimental instruments.
She walked outside, listening to the birds sing. 'So far, so good.'
Unknown to them, the group was being followed by the shadow Roy mentioned last night.
~Shinta~
"Hm? Morning . . . well, guess I have to finish off what I started." Shinta said as he stood and stretched. He unsealed his blue wings and took off towards the first place he could think of: that abandoned home.
----------------------------------------------------------------
shadow5565 Posted 12/31/2007 9:50:49 AM: As everyone made their way out of the abandoned house, Lune felt that he was already coming.
"Guys! My brother's coming! Stay out in the open for a little bit." Lune put on an emerald ring. "Spirit of the void and nothingness, I summon you, Chameleon!" Soon Lune blended in with her surroundings. Even then she hid under some brush just to be sure.
~Arke~
"Roy, Cheska. Lets get ready to fight Shinta!" Arke said putting on his knuckles. He would only use the sword he got from Sataint if the situation was dire.

LennaSuzaka Posted 12/31/2007 10:00:40 AM: ~Cheska~
"Right. Let's go everyone." She stated before getting into preparation. Her kunai was all set, and she had another ability up her sleep just in case.
~Shinta~
Soon enough, he was hovering above Cheska's home. And right near it were his three victums. He lowered himself to the ground as he spoke underneath his dark hood.
"So, the mice came out today to play? You seriously didn't think that I would show up today to write my name with your blood? Well, enough. It's time to kill the three of you. Not tomorrow, not next week; now." He unsheathed his katar and charged.
A kunai immediately came at his face. Quickly he tilted his head just to miss it. To counter, he grabbed hold of the kunai just before it went passed him and threw it back towards Cheska, who ducked. He was more focused on Arke at the moment.
"Glacial Barrage!" He shouted as a boulders of ice fell from the sky towards Arke.
----------------------------------------------------------------
shadow5565 Posted 12/31/2007 10:25:08 AM: ~Arke~
"Well thats not good!" Arke said as the chunk of ice was about to fal on him. "Whirlwind Fist!" Just like the name, as soon as Arke punched the glacier a whirlwind broke it into tiny little pieces.
He destroyed the biggest one but the other smaller ones got through. A shard of ice went through his gauntlet and into his forearm. "!!!" 'What the heck is Lune doing?'
~Lune~
"I hope your ready, Shinta." Lune silently unsealed her wings, making the bush rustle.
She started to chant the angelic words her mother taught her. Soon glyphs appeared around Shinta. He looked like he was starting to fall asleep. And soon enough he was on the ground, snoring.
Lune made herself visible again and walked up to her brother. "Arke help me lift him. Where should we put him, Cheska?" She said.
----------------------------------------------------------------
LennaSuzaka Posted 12/31/2007 10:38:52 AM: ~Cheska~
"Well, then. I think we have our specimen! Good work! I say we take him back to the home for a bit so I could do a little blood work." She then looked over to Arke.
"Hey, are you okay?"
----------------------------------------------------------------
shadow5565 Posted 12/31/2007 11:16:19 AM: ~Arke~
"Yeah I'm fine Cheska." Arke said pulling the ice shard out of his arm. "Don't worry, I'll make good as new!" Lune said hefting Shinta up.
"Lune let me carry that for you." Arke said politely. "Okay, here ya go!" She tossed the assassin over to him. Arke fell as soon as he caught him.
"what? Oh, right I forgot you don't have the strength of an angel!" Lune picked Shinta up with one hand.
"Well.....thats a self-esteem raiser." Arke said sarcastically. They all went back into Cheska's house.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Kieo1 Posted 12/31/2007 11:29:50 AM: "Well at least the fight ended quickly. *Yawn* So Cheska how long until you finish with your tests?"
"Alright seeing as I'll probably be with you guys for a while and all of you guys are angelus friendly people I guess it's time I showed you guys my dirty little secret...Cheska not that secret, yeah I saw you rolling your eyes," Roy joked.
"Master?" Zieo said staring at Roy.
"It's fine I trust them. Unseal. Oof man when you keep them in for too long it's kind of a hassle to take them out," Roy said streching his green wings.

LennaSuzaka Posted 12/31/2007 11:36:08 AM: ~Cheska~
"Whoa . . . y-your an angelus too? Wow, this is my lucky day! After Shinta, may I have your sample as well?" She smiled at Roy, seemingly excited.
At the home, Shinta was placed on a table. Quietly Cheska pulled out a syringe for the withdrawal.
"Well, here goes nothing." She wiped the assassin's arm with disinfectant before prying for a vein. Just before she slid the needle, Shinta trembled slightly and shifted it so that the needle punctured through his skin.
"S***!!!!" She yelled before Shinta groaned a little. Instantly she had shut her mouth.
"Okay, let's try again." She whispered.
More discreetly and gently she slid the needle into his vein without any other complications and drew the blood.
"There. Now what to do with the man himself?"
----------------------------------------------------------------
Kieo1 Posted 12/31/2007 11:39:30 AM: "Yeah sure but we should hurry up though alright. Well that is Lune's brother cause normally if he's trying to kill us I'd suggest taking him out right here and now. Maybe if we can keep him asleep long enough we could use him as bait in the ruins," Roy said putting his wings away.
----------------------------------------------------------------
RusherMan Posted 12/31/2007 11:42:46 AM: Krysta saw that this group was quite strong. Perhaps they could help her out, but she would need to know if they were trustworthy first. She walked up to the door of the house she had stayed in last night. Apparently that was the group's home base of sorts. She knocked on the door. "Hellooo... Anybody home?"
----------------------------------------------------------------
shadow5565 Posted 12/31/2007 11:46:10 AM: "We can't use him as bait!" Arke said to Roy.
"Lune, the reason why he's killing people is trying to take revenge for your death! What if he saw that you were alive?"
"He might." Lune sighed. "Then again maybe not. I'll talk to him in private when he wakes up." Lune said.
"Sounds like a plan!" Arke said. "Hey someone's here." Arke was talking about Krysta coming in.
----------------------------------------------------------------
LennaSuzaka Posted 12/31/2007 11:50:56 AM: ~Cheska~
"Hey, who told you you could barge in my house!?" Cheska stood, shouting at the new girl. Just then she hear another groan escape Shinta's lips.
He yawned once, and silently fluttered his eyes. The first person he saw was Arke. Instantly he jumped up and grabbed Arke by the throat. "Now die!!!"

RusherMan Posted 12/31/2007 11:58:02 AM: "Hang on a sec, and I'll explain," said Krysta calmly, drawing one of her elbow blades from its scabbard on her back. She rushed over to where Shinta was trying to strangle Arke and smacked the angelus-human hybrid with one of the handles on the elbow blade, dazing him and causing him to drop Arke. "Argh! Why you..." "Simmer down, will ya? I don't want to have to knock you out for real, or worse."
----------------------------------------------------------------
shadow5565 Posted 12/31/2007 12:01:18 PM: "Whoa!!" Arke managed to yell. Shinta's katar was about to go through his head if Krysta didn't interfere.
A shock wave of mana then hit Shinta making him stay on the ground.
"Shinta?" Lune said walking up next to him. "It's me Lune your sister."
----------------------------------------------------------------
LennaSuzaka Posted 12/31/2007 12:06:11 PM: ~Shinta~
"Sister?" He stared wide-eyed at the girl from the ground. He couldn't believe it. In fact, he still didn't.
"Impossible! Y-you're supposed to be dead!"
----------------------------------------------------------------
shadow5565 Posted 12/31/2007 12:14:03 PM: "Well guess what? I'm not dead." Lune looked down at her brother. She knew something like this was going to happen.
"Here want me to prove it?" She lifts her wrist to reveal a bracelet made of angel wings. "Remember? This is the bracelet you made me when we we're little. And how did you get caught in here? I did that chant mother taught us."
She hoped it was enough proof...
----------------------------------------------------------------
LennaSuzaka Posted 12/31/2007 12:24:40 PM: ~Shinta~
He lied on the ground, still shocked. Moments passed as his chest rose and fell.
"That glorious chant . . . saved my life so many times. That bracelet too . . . I remember that. We were fighting each other about my jealousy, saying that dad always loved you more. But you ran off crying in the end and I felt so bad. So I decided to make you that bracelet from the skills mom taught me. Heh, didn't think someone like me would be able to weave." He decided to stand, seemingly calm.
He came up to her and hugged her tightly.
"Please, Lune, I'm sorry. Forgive me!"
~Cheska~
Meanwhile, Cheska decided to ask Krysta why she was here.
"Krysta, how did you get here and why?"

shadow5565 Posted 12/31/2007 12:38:11 PM: "No forgive me!" Lune said hugging him back.
"For 40 years I knew you were alive. But I didn't look for you because what you did to father."
Lune looked into Shinta's eyes to see a spark light up.
"But, no matter what happens I'll always forgive you. Because you're my brother!" She hugged him even tighter.
----------------------------------------------------------------
LennaSuzaka Posted 12/31/2007 12:46:31 PM: ~Shinta~ For the first time in forty years, he smiled. He just ceased talking and just clung to his sister. After a few minutes of silence, he backed away.
"I know I was cold, but he wanted to rest. I thought you didn't understand that, so I decided to . . . but nevermind that. That's the past. Now I can visit mom and dad's grave and tell them I'm no longer out for revenge."
----------------------------------------------------------------
RusherMan Posted 12/31/2007 12:48:57 PM: "Well, it's rather complicated..." Krysta sighed, "Have any of you heard of the Eight Heroes: Leira the Frigid Maiden, Airez the Burning Demon, Koran the Dark Edge, Liam the Death-Fist, and all the rest? Well, one of them, Henry the Spellweaver, is my grandfather, and he has become quite clairvoyant with age. He predicted that a great evil will come to undo what the Eight Heroes have worked so hard to accomplish, which means no freedom for the world. Heck, there wouldn't even be a need for freedom because nothing would be left!"
----------------------------------------------------------------
shadow5565 Posted 12/31/2007 12:54:36 PM: ~Lune~
"Um, Shinta about mom and dad...." Lune explained how Arke was tricked to free Sataint by saying the sword had ultimate power. Then she explained how Sataint was able to control Serena, Liam, Airez and Leira through the dark seeds planted in them.
"I know its real bad but our main objective right now is to seal Sataint again. I have an idea were she can never get free again. But . . . we should at least destroy the seeds in mom and dad and the other two first."
Lune smiled as Arke gave her a thumbs-up.
----------------------------------------------------------------
LennaSuzaka Posted 12/31/2007 1:07:03 PM: ~Shinta~
"Damn . . . That witch will deserve what is coming. Lune, I'll ask about your plan later, but for now, where are you guys planning to go to find a way to stop the seeds?" Shinta said, running a hand through his short, blue hair. He no longer had a need for his hood.
~Cheska~
"Oh my, really? This has truly been the luckiest day! I've retrieved the blood of two of the legendary heroes' offsprings, I met another hero's granddaughter, and another angelus with a cheagle! Oh my goodness!" She said cheerfully, knowing she never mentioned Arke.
"Sorry, Arke, you're just . . . not like them. By the way Shinta, we are heading for the Man-Eating Ruins for Roy's treasure and an item that may help our gardening problem," She tried to crack, hoping everyone would laugh.
Shinta spoke up, seemingly unaffected by the joke, "I think you actually may be wrong about Arke. This man has abilities that not many humans, if any, have. Not to mention you do seem familiar." He glanced over to him.

Kieo1 Posted 12/31/2007 1:27:39 PM: "Yep you never know what ya gonna find in ruins. By the way Cheska that was a start but with my free 30 day trial I'll have you a comedian just as good as me. See if you had said weed problme that might have been better," Roy said, "by the way what kind of tea is this? I normally don't drink tea but this is great."
"Mieu I'm part of the Ieo family if that adds to your excitment. My great mieu great grandpa was Kieo the Cheagle," Zieo said jmping into cheska's lap.
"Yep. So Shinta you joining us to now cause if you are that's just kick ass. And that divides the work we all have to do by even more," Roy said walking over to Shinta.
----------------------------------------------------------------
shadow5565 Posted 12/31/2007 2:41:20 PM: "I think I know a way to destroy those seeds. Before you got here Shinta, Roy mentioned that an 'angel of death' would find the robber and take the treasure back." Lune explained.
"That means tomorrow one of those four might come after Arke. Since well, that sword is considered a treasure." "Now all of a sudden I'm a thief?" Arke protested. "No, it just means they'll come and attack you. Tonight."
"Well Roy we better go to your ruins quick before night falls." Arke looked out the window to see that the sun was directly over head...
----------------------------------------------------------------
LennaSuzaka Posted 12/31/2007 2:46:07 PM: ~Cheska~
"Well nice to meet you Zieo. I'm honored to meet your family. Well, shall we go? And Roy, that tea is my little secret." Cheska stated and winked before walking outside.
~Shinta~
"I wonder . . . angel of darkness. Not a good sign. I don't want to fight any of them Lune. But if it must be . . . then," Shinta shook his head before following Cheska.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Kieo1 Posted 12/31/2007 3:21:05 PM: "Alright we're off to the Man Eating Ruins!" Roy said jumping to his feet.
"According to this map if we leave right now we should get there a little afternoon. Wait we should raid the fridge. That's treasure hunter 101 also always be prepared to be stuck where you're going."
Later that day...
"So this is the Man Eating Ruin. Alright since I'm a manI think the women and Arke should go first. Nah just messing with ya Arke. Oh and let's go over treasure hnters dos and don'ts," Roy said as they set up for a small lunch.
Zieo pulled up a random chart with several stick drawings.
"When the treasure is in sight don't go to it there are likely traps. Never pull any switches. Never pull anything if it's stuck. And NEVER EVER touch anything that's shiny. Don't step on wires. If something looks like a trap door there's a chance that that place isn't a trap door and that the area around it is actually the trap. And anything that seems to have teeth probably is real. That's the basics," Roy said as Zieo showed a small picture for each thing.
----------------------------------------------------------------
rplow Posted 12/31/2007 4:07:55 PM: "Crap, didn't wanna do this, but I guess there is no choice," Drake said apon the arrival of the guards. "But right now, i'm playing for the other team."
Drake rushed forward, into the group of guards. He spun, hitting one guard in the temple with the butt of his lance, knocking him out cold. Befora any of the other guards knew what was going on, Drake spun, swinging his lance like a bat, taking out 2 more guards.
"Reyson, go! I'll catch up!"
Drake spun again, twirling his lance and stabbing the butt of his lance into another guard's stomach. as he recovered, a fifth guard jumped on his back, whacking him upside the head with his sword. Drake swung his lance back as hard as he could, cracking it across the man's head. He slid unconcious to the ground. Drake started to stumble away, as if drunk, back towards the ship, as an alarm sounded and more guards came.

shadow5565 Posted 12/31/2007 4:50:11 PM: ~Arke~
"I'll just make it simple: If I see anything that looks valuable I'll tell you Roy." Arke said as he looked at each of the pictures. After cleaning up, the group went inside the man eating ruins.
~Lune~
"So, Roy." Lune said walking beside him. "What are we looking for exactly, in these ruins?" She looked at the ruined walls. 'I have a bad feeling about this....'
----------------------------------------------------------------
Kieo1 Posted 12/31/2007 4:56:31 PM: "The good stuff is normall at the end of the ruins. According to this map there should be a giant gold...statue at the end that should have it. It'll be in a throne room like thing with other treasures," Roy said looking at the map.
----------------------------------------------------------------
LennaSuzaka Posted 12/31/2007 5:35:00 PM: ~Shinta~
"Fine by me. But just to be on the safe side . . ." Shinta unsealed his blue flamed wings and hovered in the air.
"One less person to fall for a trap. Lune, Roy, I suggest you do the same."
~Cheska~
"Wow, this place! Look at these herbs! I must get some of these!" She said walking over to them. She clipped them and silently placed them in her trenchcoat pocket.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Kieo1 Posted 12/31/2007 5:45:01 PM: "Thanks for the tip Shinta. Never tried it before," Roy said as his green wings appeared.
Roy flew with the group through the ruins. They went pretty far into the ruins without having any problems. When they opened a door and stepped into a room something seemed to happen since they began to hear creaks. As they walked into the large room arrows started flying in every direction.
They avoided the arrows only to have them break wires. A giant boulder than started to roll towards them. They quickly ran down the narrow hallway as several other boulders came after them.
----------------------------------------------------------------
shadow5565 Posted 12/31/2007 5:55:58 PM: "Freaking boulders!" Arke said as they all ran. "How are we supposed to get out of this one?!"
"I got it! There's a door up ahead maybe if we go inside and close the door, we'll be safe." Lune said flapping her wings. After the hallway ended and led into a room, Lune saw a lever to close the door.
"Come on, Arke! Your almost there!" Arke was the slowest of the group. 'This sword's heavier than I thought!' He had to slid under the closing door.
"No!" He put his hand in through the small gap and grabbed the sword he dropped. Indiana Jones style. Arke heard the boulders break against the wall.

Kieo1 Posted 12/31/2007 6:03:35 PM: "Holy crap that was close," Roy said landing on the ground, "I should fly more often."
"There it is there's the statue. Oh my god it's a statue of a golden monkey. There's the reatsure it's the treasure in its hands. Adn all of this other treasure around it. Look at all this treasure. Alright guy let's get started opening all these chests," Roy said streching his wings.
"Master mieu I feel a presence," Zieo said as they heard a low roar.
Suddenly a door opened up and a giant lizard fell into the room. The lizard shot fire at the group and then began to move around.
----------------------------------------------------------------
LennaSuzaka Posted 12/31/2007 6:08:00 PM: "Roy! I thought this was gonna be less dangerous than this!" Cheska sighed as she threw a few poisoned needles at it. She then drew her kunai and lunged forward, only to get smacked hard by the lizard. She flew about ten feet before hitting the ground hard.
"Damn!" Shinta shouted as he flew at the beast and slashed its side with his katar. The lizard hissed in pain as it enveloped Shinta in a fireball.
"Sorry! But that's not going to work!" He said as he absorbed the flame with his palm.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Kieo1 Posted 12/31/2007 6:25:20 PM: "It's normally a little more dangerous," Roy said slashing the lizard with wind and lightening attacks.
He then slashed it in the eye causing it to roar in pain. After some more attacks the lizard died. "Alright guys fan out normally there's only one big thing trap in the final chamber. If anything looks suspicious don't ask me or you can. Also you'll either have to break or pick the locks on the chests. If you want anything feel free to take it," Roy said flying over to the statue.
He picked the lock on the chest and opened it. He reached in and pulled out a rather large piece of parchment. He flew down and opened it scanning what was written on it. He then went over and helped others with their locks.
"When everyone's ready let's get going. Oh and there is normally a trap for when the big treasure...is...opened...hurry up," Roy said hearing many cracking sounds.
----------------------------------------------------------------
LennaSuzaka Posted 12/31/2007 6:34:43 PM: "I guess you have the big treasure that you always wanted then?" Cheska said as she scrambled for anything else. Her eye eventually spotted a small vial in a chest that she managed to pick with a needle.
"Yes! This is it! One step closer to the cure!" She smiled but instantly shielded her mouth and nose.
A gust of gas blew around her from the chest, trying to suffocate and poison her.
She leapt back quickly to avoid any further contact.
'Damn! I breathed some in!' She thought as she coughed and spluttered. Suddenly she wa beginning to stiffen, her body becoming paralyzed before she could reach an antidote from her pocket.
"Roy! Get an antidote from my pocket and use it on me!"
~Shinta~
"Well, I have no need of anything here. There's no lead on the dark seeds that I can see anyways. What about you, sister?" He muttered, keeping an eye peeled for any sudden clues.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Kieo1 Posted 12/31/2007 6:38:41 PM: "Right antidote pocket. Wait you've got a trenchcoat with a bunch of pockets. Oh well if it's to save your life," Roy said reachign into Cheska's pokets.
"Here we go drink up," Roy said making sure Cheska didn't fall to the floor.
"And no this isn't my grand treasure. Like you this is only one step closer to my grand goal let's say," Roy said making sre Cheska drank every last drop of the anitdote.

LennaSuzaka Posted 12/31/2007 6:44:18 PM: Cheska smiled a little.
"Thanks . . . This is exactly the reason why I made the antidote. Or maybe it was to keep perverts from spiking my drink. It works either way." She said hoping that was a better attempt at a joke. She stood and dusted herself off.
"Sorry about the trenchcoat's many pockets. I hope it wasn't too bothersome. But, now shall we get going? Unless, Lune . . . did you want anything?"
----------------------------------------------------------------
shadow5565 Posted 12/31/2007 6:54:31 PM: ~Lune~ ~Aunt's paying a visit~
"Hey, Shinta get over here." Lune said to him. She found a parchment on the floor. "Look at this everyone." Everyone was looking at the paper now. "It says the only way to truly destroy Sataint is sealing her and throwing the sword in lava." Lune put on a quizzical look.
"Wait, how would they now it was going to be a sword?"
"So you've found my old castle have you?" A voice rang. It was Sataint's. Serena then appeared. She held the Devil Arm Neblim(Twin katanas for those who don't know).
"You won't make it out of here alive!" Sataint laughed as her voice echoed away. "Dang it! Here she comes!" Arek said as Serena covered the distance between them in mere seconds.
Arke drew out his sword. Red mana went in sparks as Arke held the possessed woman off "Lightning!" Lune yelled knocking Serena back.
----------------------------------------------------------------
lancer1237 Posted 12/31/2007 7:20:40 PM: ~Reysons story~
"I made a promise to lady Serentiy. I can't let you die here just yet!" Reyson said returning from guiding the angelus to the Vigilance.
Reyson swung the demon blade through a soldier and then cut through the legs of another.
"Now. Shake!" Reyson said plunging the blade into the ground causing a small quake to knock gaurds of their feet.
"Hm!" Drake said pierceing several gaurds with ease. Drake had taken a wound and was finding it difficult to breathe.
"Reyson we have the angelus secured take flight." A voice called over the communicator.
"Drake how would you really like to take flight!" Reyson said activating his bionic wings. He picked up Drake and began to dodge long range fire when Malix spoke up.
"Just drop him. Come on I know you want to. Your thinking of doing it right now." He laughed.
"You dare!" Drake said stubornly and without fear.
"I wouldn't dream of it," Reyson said sarcastically.
~Onboard the vigilance~
"Your ok. We will head back to the dyecroft now. You two should take the time to rest and Drake...you can share Reyson's room." An officer commanded.
"What!? Me share rooms with a human. A stinking waste of flesh!" A voice called.
"Reyson or was it Malix who said that!" Drake shouted.
"Oh I know who said it, come on rey rey lets just slit his throat whilst he sleeps. The taste of human blood is so...seductive hehehehehehehe." Malix laughed.
"Shouldn't you be spinning my neck around and causing projectile vomiting?" Reyson asked.
"All in good time. Hahahahahahahahahaah" Malix rejoiced.
----------------------------------------------------------------
LennaSuzaka Posted 12/31/2007 7:22:30 PM: ~Shinta~
"No!" He saw for his own eyes what had truly happened. His aunt . . . no longer in her resting place, but a demon puppet for this witch!
He charged forward and yelled to Lune, "LUNE! You can still use fire right!? Try focusing a fireball on where you think the seeds are! I don't know if it will work but it's better than nothing! Just whatever you do, don't tear her into shreds!"
From behind, Cheska was throwing paralyzer needles towards the body.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Kieo1 Posted 12/31/2007 7:26:38 PM: "I'll shock her. Maybe that should numb her body some," Roy said blasting weak lightening at puppet.

shadow5565 Posted 12/31/2007 7:43:32 PM: ~Lune~
"I'll try my best, Shinta!" She yelled back to him. 'Alright.......where are you seeds?' Lune saw them. They were all clustered around her heart. The worst place to put them.
"Shinta, I know this sounds horrible but we should cremate the body so something like this will never happen again. Everyone go all out!" She healed Arke as he was knocked back.
Serena dodged and counter-attacked everything that was thrown at her. Sataint knew she was fragile so she must have made her faster. One of Cheska's needles hit and made her right arm lose reaction time.
"Cheska! Keep doing throwing those types of needles! We need to slow her down!" Arke was off way better than before her right arm was hit. Lune ran up behind Serena and slashed her back. Just a little more...
----------------------------------------------------------------
LennaSuzaka Posted 12/31/2007 7:56:22 PM: "Lune, must we!? Does it really have to come to cremating our own aunt!?" He said as he kicked Serena in the side to give Lune an advantage.
Cheska just nodded and continued to throw the needles, slowing the woman.
----------------------------------------------------------------
shadow5565 Posted 12/31/2007 8:19:56 PM: "I don't like the idea either, Shinta! But the seeds are practically in her heart. You see why we have to do that now, right?" Lune took advantage and brought her staff across Serena's face. She rolled on the floor, not even caring.
"Lune! Do it now!" Arke said trying to keep her down. "Sorry aunt. Flaming lance!" The fire rained down upon Serena striking her stomach. Arke thought he saw Serena smiling right before she turned to ashes.
The pile just sat there motionless. The dark seeds were still intact and moving! The evil things jumped up and lunged at Arke.
"Ah, man!" He held up the sword on response. The seeds weren't going for Arke, they were getting to the sword. The seeds fused with the sword. "I feel....more powerful. I think the seeds made me stronger. But I shouldn't hold it anymore." Arek quickly put the sword back on his back.
Lune picked up one of the smaller chest and the room and opened it. She used one of her artes to blow the ashes into the chest. Lune put a lock on it. "There. We'll put the ashes in the tomb when its convenient."
'Why would someone do this . . . ?' She sighed.
----------------------------------------------------------------
LennaSuzaka Posted 12/31/2007 8:33:31 PM: "Aunt Serena . . ." Shinta frowned as he gazed at the chest.
"Lune . . . I don't want to face our parents this way. I mean it was easier when father requested it . . . but . . . can we do it!? Come on, this is mom and dad we're talking about!" Shinta growled.
"This witch is going to get it!!"
Cheska only looked to Roy sighed.
"Sometimes it's easier when you don't know where your parents are," She muttered under her breath.
----------------------------------------------------------------
RusherMan Posted 12/31/2007 8:36:06 PM: "Wow, you guys... I had a gut feeling you were strong, but not this strong!" Krysta marveled. Then she heard a snarling noise from behind the statue. "Uhh... Guys? I think that lizard from before had a friend or two..." Krysta's hunch turned out to be right as another lizard erupted from behind the statue and tried to pounce on her. She was a tad too quick for the beastie, however, and she jumped backward just enough so she could dodge the attack, but still be within striking range. "Alright, now It's my time to shine! Tiger Blade!" Krysta yelled before slashing the lizard with a fierce uppercut, spinning around it in midair and slashing it again, then coming down with a doozy of a slash to the gargantuan reptile's cranium. Krysta then danced away and took up a defensive stance with her elbow blades, ready to either block or strike again.

rplow Posted 12/31/2007 8:48:59 PM: ~Drake~
"Well, i'm not happy about this either, but I'm currently under house arrest it looks like, and you aren't high enough in rank to complain. Let's compromise and just ignore each other, okay?"
Without waiting for an answer, Drake turned and stalked towards the doorway. suddenly, he stopped, and turned around, looking rather sheepish.
"Umm....and ya......um Reyson, which room is yours?"
~~~
After everything was sorted out, Drake sat down on the cot that was erected in Reyson's room, on the side of Reyson's bed opposite the door, so that he would be discouraged to escape. Drake snickered. where did they honestly think he was going to escape to? He was on an airship first of all, and now he was an imperial traitor. Well, all in the name of progress.
Drake started to lay down and close his eyes, when suddely, a thought occured to him. He reached down beside the cot and piked up his lance. why the angelus hadn't confiscated it, he didn't know. Mabey because it was a human weapon, and it looked almost tainted. The willow shaft was dyed black, from when Drake had touched it with his right hand right after exploding a black fire ball, the first time he had pulled that trick. Drake still wished he could do that. The only thing it reacted to was pain and fear, unfortunately.
Drake slowly rubbed the shaft of the lance. It still felt the same, regardless of now being black. suddenly, and little piece chipped away.
"Oh great, now my lance is breaking."
Drake moved his hand and looked closer. where the wood had chipped away was a silver rune. Drake looked closer, but he couldn't make it out. It mas angelan, the formal language of the angelus.
"Hmm, I wonder what the heck this rune is doing on a lance of the empire."
----------------------------------------------------------------
shadow5565 Posted 1/1/2008 9:51:08 AM: ~Lune~
"I really don't want to fight them either but, if we have to we will." Lune said putting the small chest in her pocket.
'I really want to know why those seeds went into that sword Arke has....' She thought as she smacked a lizard with her staff.
~Arke~
"Take this you cold-blooded freak!" Arke slammed his fist into an oncoming lizard. It looked like Krysta was getting surrounded. From behind he took a few of them out.
"I think you need some help." Arke said standing next to her.
----------------------------------------------------------------
LennaSuzaka Posted 1/1/2008 10:38:35 AM: ~Shinta~
"Tch. I guess we have no choice in the matter," Shinta said as he leaped onto a lizard and justted his katar into the skull.
"Ice blade!" He yelled as his arms became encased in ice. He then began to slice the lizards as Cheska threw needles and kunai to aid the others.
----------------------------------------------------------------
lancer1237 Posted 1/1/2008 11:45:29 AM: ~Reyson's story~
In the middle of the night.
A knock at the door woke Reyson and Drake. Reyson still ticked off for allowing a human to sleep in his bed whilst he slept on a couch. He hated toin coss.
They answered the door. Two young angelus girls no older than ten stood there.
"Umm thankyou mr's." The shyest one said looking at the floor shuffling her feet.
"Umm we wanted to give you these." The older girl said turning bright red. They produced two flowers. A black petal rose and a golden lilly.
"We looked after these. They aren't real flowers but its the only thing we have." The shy one said. Reyson recognised that they were made from coloured paper and green wood.
"Thankyou girls. Now you must go back to sleep. Theyre will be a big day for everyone tommorow," Reyson said softly.
The girls giggled and ran down the hall.
"You have a real soft-" Drake said when Reyson interputed him.
"Shut it!" Reyson barked.
"Hey hey hey. I think its sweet. But man they must really hate you to giv-" Drake said jokingly when Reyson grabbed him by the neck.
"You. This was probably the only thing they had! Do you have any idea what happens in some of those-those ranches!" Reyson yelled. Drake's expression told Reyson that he didn't really know.
"You have no idea how they are made to suffer...for them to give us these they must really be appreciative of me...and you!" Reyson said returning to get the crafted imitation lilly.
Drake looked at Reyson before picking up the rose.
"..." He said nothing.
"Damn Rey! You are firey today. I think I am liking you more and more. Your body is going to be perfect for me hahahahaha" Malix laughed.
"Only if I submit to you wich I have no intention of doing. I will master your power by myself and then you will have nothing..." Reyson said falling asleep.
"Hheheheheh you really think you can fully master my powers...how naive" Malix said in a serious tone.
"Drake...um its nothing. Know that your soldiers will be released. An angelus oath is stronger than steel." Reyson said falling asleep.
----------------------------------------------------------------
lancer1237 Posted 1/1/2008 11:45:56 AM: ~Reyson's story~
At Serenity's chamber after arrival.
"Drake...Reyson. Thanks to your combined efforts 100 angelus lives have been saved." Serenity smiled. "And as promised we will release your teamates. They are safely aboard one of our ships and we will land you in umbraeterna. For safety reasons we have had to discard their weapons and handcuff them. Do not worry though as soon as they go out of range they will brake off and your hands will be freed." Serenity said.
"Oh, Drake our spies have reported that you are on the wanted list...." Serenity said lowering her head.
"There are other humans aboard this ship. Humans who helped or hid the angelus...we call them 'Angelian'. Your power is quite remarkable. And even though you were brought here against yoru will and forced to do things which have turned your race against you I can only offer you, and you alone sanctuary in this place. It is your choice walk amongst humans who now dispise you or find a home here with those who can accept you. Will you help us in the fight for innocent lives?" Serenity asked.
A murmour of voices were heard in the crowd scorning Drake when a voice spoke up.
"STOP IT!" Reyson called out to them.
"I dont like the idea of harbouring human's here however....this man saved 100 angelus lives. That deserves credit, shame on you for going against lady sereitnity's wishes." Reyson spoke up.
"Reyson..." Drake began to say.
"Shut it! I didnt do it for you. I just hate it when people ignore Lady Serenity when she has valid points." Reyson quickly argued.
"Ahhh what does it friggin matter. Its just another mortal. Your all bound to die someday anyway. So why not let him cling to life just that little bit longer. Besides I might not hear the end of it from the Gilf lover if you went against her!" Malix said sarcastically.
"WHAT!?" Reyson began to argue when he was cut off.
"Silence! Drake it is your choice you can decide what you want to do..." Serenity said looking directly at him.

rplow Posted 1/1/2008 1:07:39 PM: Drake just shrugged. "Does it manner at this point? I've burned all my bridges, either way, I'm living with people who would rather have my head spitted on the end of my lance than look at me. But hey, atleast here, it won't actually happen............." Then, he added under his breath, "As if I would actually let them do that............."
"Also, if I am officially living with you guys now, I need personal answers, preferably from someone who is adept at manipulating mana. But until then, i'm heading back to Reyson's room. See you later."
Drake turned and stalked through the doorway, in the direction of Reyson's room.
----------------------------------------------------------------
RusherMan Posted 1/1/2008 1:11:04 PM: "Thanks Arke," said Krysta, "but I would have been able to blow them away easy. Oh well. BEAST!" She yelled, unleashing her battle energy around her to send about three lizards careening into the walls. They were dazed, but not completely taken out.
----------------------------------------------------------------
LennaSuzaka Posted 1/1/2008 1:18:07 PM: ~Cheska~
"Suffocating needle!!!" She threw three needles at each of the lizards. The pressure points at the necks of the beast were immediately punctured. Silently, the lizards passed on into their next life.
"Well, I'm glad I made a deadly liquid for these cases. These monsters are becoming tiresome, if you ask me."
~Shinta~
"Yeah, you're right. We really don't have any time to waste! Who know what will happen next!?" Shinta said, sheathing his katar and unsealing his wings.
A rumble ensued from the ground below them.
"Damn. I guess I just jinxed us. Well, I suggest picking up those who can't fly and getting out of here!"
----------------------------------------------------------------
lancer1237 Posted 1/1/2008 2:11:14 PM: ~Reysons story~
"Well thats sorted." Reyson laughed walking out of the room.
"Yo Rey. Imagine how hilarious it would be if we 'pushed' Drake off the edge of this dump." Malix snickered.
"I just dont understand you..." Reyson sweatdropped.
Back at the room Reyson found Drake training.
"You said that you wanted to learn how to controll mana right?" Drake looked at him.
"You think you cna teach me? Hahahaha yeah right your a third class soldier here. I heard thats only two spaces from the bottom." Drake began to laugh untill he found himself pinned to the floor by a strong gravity glyph.
"Im only in group C because I can't unseal my wings. My strength is equal to a class B or maybe a class A soldier. I wouldn't entirely know. Unlike you humans we dont tend to attack each other. Besides I am doing this out of the goodnes of my heart so take it or leave it." Reyson told him blankly.
"No your not! Your doing it to get him into the army because you know then you will rank above him and then you will be able to boss him around. You controll freak you." Malix roared with laughter.
Reyson focused hard holding the sword near his arm and ready to strike.
"If you feel everything I do then If i cut my arm its gonna be hell for both of us. It can be heales but it just might be worth pising you off!" Reyson said as serious as possible.
"Oh great I get an emo for a soul mate! Your words are as hollow as that humans head!" Malix sighed.
"I HEARD THAT!!!!" Drake yelled.
"Well at least his ears are still working. Anyway the shower is in here and you can buy food supplies from the local store. If you want a job that best suits your abilites I can get you into the army but thats an ethical call." Reyson said.
"Ahh ok Im getting a shower." Reyson said heading towards the bathroom when Drake butted in.
"Um Rey. There's that second soul thing right. He hears and see's exactly what you see right?" Drake asked.
"Yes," Reyson said dully.
"So wouldn't that mean he would be able to see-" Drake said laughing.
"There is away around that." Reyson said producing a black piece of cloth. "He can only see what I see. So if I can't see then he wont be able too."Reyson smiled back.
"Hey hey hey! You know the only reason why I would look is because one day I am gonna get my hands on your body, heheheheheheeheh then its all mine!" Malix roared.
"Drake should that happen...kill me," Reyson said in a confusing way.
----------------------------------------------------------------
shadow5565 Posted 1/1/2008 3:47:14 PM: ~Lune~
"See if you didn't say anything it wouldn't have happened!" Lune yelled to her brother. She unsealed her wings and look over to Arke. He was on one knee grasping his right arm. "Come on Arke! We're getting out of here!" She grabbed him under the arm pits and flew through the hallways.
~Arke~
'My arm! Ever since those seeds went in the sword its been hurting like crazy!' Every time his arm pumped blood it hurt even worse. His vision blurred and he was out cold by the time Lune picked him up.

LennaSuzaka Posted 1/1/2008 4:28:03 PM: ~Shinta~
"Yes, blame it on the older one!" He shouted as he automatically swooped down, grabbed Krysta by the armpits as well, and threw her on his back with ease. His wings beat faster as he swerved through falling rocks.
Now all there left was Cheska and Zieo.
----------------------------------------------------------------
rplow Posted 1/1/2008 4:40:52 PM: "Hmm, well, getting into the agelus army is probably a bad idea, but no one said I can't watch." Drake thought to himself. He was all alone now, Reyson taking a shower. Quietly, Drake picked up his lance and walked out the door.
Eventually, Drake found himself at the training arena, which was a small, collusiem type structure. Basically, it was a pit, where Angelus were doing drills and sparing. Around the pit was a rail, and then, about 3 ft from the rail, was a wall. Drake walked up, leaned his back against the wall, and watched the angelus below him.
The Angelus doing drills didn't intrest him at all. Seriously, what fun is doing drills? Most of the sparers were push overs too. Drake couldn't believe it, these Angelus must be an even lower rank that Reyson, like class D, or E, or what ever the bottom letter was. Except for on pair of sparers. One certain pair caught his eye. They looked like they were probably rank B or so. One had blond hair and blond wings, and was wielding 2 daggers. The other had brown hair and silverish colored wings. He was wielding a sword.
Blondie charged forward, feinting to his left, then stabbing upwards with his right dagger. Brownie blocked the left attack, then gracefully spun, blocking the right dagger and knocking blondie back a few feet. While blondie was off guard, Brownie quickly came in, disarming him, then pinning blondie to the ground, sword pressed to his neck. About a minute later, brownie helped blondie up. Blondie promptly dusted himself off and retrieved his daggers. Sloppy, thats what he was. blondie was sloppy. That feign could have been much more effective if he had actually pursued with the left dagger. Then again, his reflexes just couldn't keep up with Brownie. Brownie was obviously the supierior.
Drake slowly clapped.
Suddenly, the entire training ground fell quiet. Drake started to feel a little bit sheepish.
"Eh! It's that human scum! Why don't you come down here so I can wipe that smirk off your face!" Blondie yelled up at him.
Drake looked at Brownie as if he were asking permission. Brownie just made a "Go ahead," shrug. Drake smiled, this might be fun.
Drake got up onto the rail, then jumped off, hitting the ground, rolling, then coming up, lance at the ready. Blondie spun his daggers and walked forward. Drake just stood impassively. The two slowly circled each other for a little bit, until Blondie charged.
to Drake's disbelief, blondie actually tried that same tactic on Drake than he had used on brownie. Drake immediately saw through the ploy, quickly, he blocked the left dagger, the spun, hitting Blondie in the waste with the shaft of his lance as he came in with his right dagger. Drake spun, getting behind blondie as he doubled over in pain, and the, with a loud crack, smacked the shaft of his lance across the angelus's butt, sending his sprawling to the ground. Drake casually dashed over, kicking the angelus's daggers away before he could retaliate. Quickyl, he put a foot on Blondie's back, put his left arm in a chicken wing, the pressed the point of his lance to the back of Blondie's neck.
"Good spar, but you really need to get back into practice, get less sloppy."
Then, Drake casually set him free. He reached out his hand to help Blondie up, but blondie only spat at him. Drake shrugged and turned to leave.
----------------------------------------------------------------
shadow5565 Posted 1/1/2008 6:12:47 PM: ~Lune~
"Ugh....He's so heavy with that armor on!" Lune said as she flew through the halls. She was about to drop him.
"Yes! The exit!" She flapped harder, making it out of the ruins. After dropping Arke on the grassy field she sighed and put away her wings. "Where are you guys?"
~Arke~
Arke was dreaming again . . .
"Where am I this time?" He said to himself. "You don't remember? Here I'll make it easier." The village that was in front of him instantly caught on fire. Everyone didn't notice Arke as he walked in the village. "They can't see me."
He kept on walking seeing people die before his eyes. He couldn't do anything. Arke saw a man in the middle of the chaos. Someone came up behind the man and stabbed him.
"What's happening?" Arke could tell the man's features now as he fell. It was his father. "Why am I seeing this again?! It's-it's no different than last time!" He was angered to the core. "Is it now? Take a close look at the killer." He squinted to see.
No. His mind must've been playing tricks on him. "That man . . . is me?" The assailant took off running with a face of fright. "I killed him?" "I killed him!" Arke was now starting to wake...
----------------------------------------------------------------
LennaSuzaka Posted 1/1/2008 9:24:48 PM: ~Shinta~
"Rah!!!" Shinta bellowed as he rushed out from the cave, making sure Krysta held onto him. Immediately he held his wings out like a parachute and landed on the ground, making sure his feet were planted. He then sealed his wings and smiled at Lune.
"That wasn't a big deal, now was it?" Little did he know he did not notice that Roy and Cheska were still in the Ruins . . .
----------------------------------------------------------------
lancer1237 Posted 1/2/2008 5:49:09 AM: ~Reyson's story~
"Man I love showers," Reyson smiled.
"Well they do feel preety good." Malix laughed.
Reyson quickly changed into some cleaner cloths and headed out to the training deck. He spotted Drake. He was walking over to the young man when a soldier apprached him.
"He's preety good for a human. Should I still tell the soldiers to hold back slightly." The soldier asked.
"He needs to learn to controll his mana. Ill spar against him and force him to confront it. Its quite rare to see dark mana in humans." Reyson laughed.
"Drake, the soldier told me that you have been sparring. He says 'youre preety good for a human,'." Reyson looked at him coldly.
"Yeah, but if these are supposed to some of your good fighters then It makes me wonder why your race hasn't been wiped out yet." Drake said sarcastically.
Reyson pointed upwards to a signpost. Drake went into shock. It read 'Class E D training facility'.
"These are the angelus or angelian training facilities. These angelus have yet to controll the power of their wings and so dont use them yet. Most angelus and angelians can't get past this level unless they have wings or are exceptionally strong." Reyson looked at Drake who seemed to now boil in anger.
"Oh that reminds me, I am supposed to help teach the recruits how to controll thier mana better today. Want to help me show them. It could be usefull for you too." Reyson said.
"You want to put me in a class of this? No way!" Drake argued.
"Ok then you can be my sparring partner. I wont use Malix's blade, ill just rely on mana." Reyson said.
"No fair! I want to feel blood come on. I hate you you do gooder. Just you wait till you give me your body." Malix moaned.
"Like thats ever going to happen!" Reyson argued.
They waked onto the sparring area which attratced the curiosty of the angelus recruits.

rplow Posted 1/2/2008 4:07:48 PM: "Okay, fine, have it your way. Should be a pretty even match. You can use mana, but no weapon, I can use a weapon, but no mana. fine by me, now lets go at it!"
Drake charged forward, spinning his lance. Suddenly, he felt a strange tingling in the ground below him. Drake wasn't sure what it was, but it felt remotely similar to the sensation that came over him when he had made the dark fireballs. So Drake leaped into the air. And not a moment to soon. Right below Drake, the ground shattered, large shards of rock shooting everywhere.
"O Crap!"
Of all the things Drake had thought Reyson was capable of, that wasn't one of them. Then again, Drake had no idea about how mana worked, or how powerful Reyson was. But Drake was good at thinking on his feet.
"Okay then, looks like I have to get in close."
Drake's foot lightly touched the ground, and in an instant he was off, sprinting straight towards Reyson. He feinted left, then spun behind him, lunging his lance out as far as possible towards Reyson's back, but all he managed to do was nick him, drawing a little blood. Before Drake thought Reyson could retaliate, Drake jumped back, pulling his lance back in.
"Crap, I misjudged that. O well, you know what they say, Wash, rinse, and Repeat."
----------------------------------------------------------------
Kieo1 Posted 1/2/2008 4:29:31 PM: ~Roy~
"It's not fair," Roy said carrying Cheska and Zieo, "they've been around for 200 hundred years learning how to fly. I just finally unsealed my wings about 10 years ago. Compare!"
Zieo screamed as the ceiling and the rest of the ruins begna to fall apart. Roy avoided but after so long he landed on a small patch of land. He began to focus wind mana so that it would push him.
"Man I've got to use these more. Cheska jump on my back I'll give you a piggy back ride. Sure it looks like it'll slow me down but I'm used to carrying a backpack so I can move my wings. Plus when I'm dodging falling rocks it'll be easier for me to avoid them. Zieo get on Cheska's back."
"We've got to hurry aparently this entire place is going to collapse. And if you can use wind mana it would help as a type of boost," Roy said getting in position so Cheska could jump on his back.
----------------------------------------------------------------
LennaSuzaka Posted 1/2/2008 4:34:04 PM: ~Cheska~
"Wind mana? Ha! I can't even use artes! At least, to my ability. So what are we supposed to do? Think you can go faster than planned?" Cheska shouted in the rumbling ruins as she placed Zieo on her shoulder and climbed onto Roy's back with ease.
~Shinta~
He stretched and lied on the ground, closing his eyes.
"What is taking them so long? Actually, where are they?" He said after a few minutes.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Kieo1 Posted 1/2/2008 5:03:20 PM: "I've got a trick up my sleeve," Roy said lifting off the ground after eating something.
"Special Comedic Art Special Attack: Super Gas Propeller!" Roy shot forward when he farted and a huge blast of wind blasted out.
They continued forward like this as the ruins continued to fall apart. As they approached the entrance Roy came to a stop as a giant rock blocked the entrance. Roy and Cheska both knew that this was the ruin's last stand that within a few seconds it would be but a pile of ruble. Roy flew upward until he was on the about through the breaking roof.
"Special Comedic Art Special Attack: Lightening Burp!" Roy said burping and lightenign blasted out.
The lightening blasted a hole in hte ceiling. Roy flew through it and zoomed really high in the sky. Cheska patted his shoulder and Roy looked at her. She was doing a sign to show that she had lack of oxygen. "Whoops flew up to high to fast," Roy said dive bombing to the ground below.
"Kamacazie!" Zieo yelled as they approached the ground.
Roy was able to stop but only by causing a small sonic boom on the rest of the group who was nearby.
"We made it," Roy said falling to the ground on his stomach so Cheska and Zieo could get off.
----------------------------------------------------------------
LennaSuzaka Posted 1/2/2008 5:17:10 PM: ~Cheska~
"I swear, Roy! You really don't want that cure, do you? At this rate I'll perish!" Cheska gasped as she wobbled on the surface. She felt light headed from the ascension; thus, she wished this dizziness would dissapear.
She stumbled to the ground and immediately sat down. She then looked to Shinta, Lune, Arke, and Krysta.
"Oh my head . . . Hi, you four. Glad you made it out the safest possible way." She muttered before taking out a small vial and the herbs. She began to crush the herbs with a pounder. When she was finished, she slid the result into the empty vial and shook it.
"These herbs is an ingredient that will help solve this mystery. They have an important property that fights the virus and breaks apart the walls of the virus itself. I just need to mix these herbs with something that will destroy the rest of the virus. I can find that through your blood. Oh yes! Roy, I need your arm for a moment!" She said, putting away the vial and reaching for a syringe.

Kieo1 Posted 1/2/2008 5:33:38 PM: "Yeah just don't draw to much. Alright so I know where we should go next," roy said sitting down and pulling out the map he had obtained.
Roy scanned the map and grinned. "Alright I vote we go to the Lightening Tower. It's a day or two from here. Or if you guys want to go somewhere else I'm fine with that too," Roy said putting his arm out for Cheska.
"Wait, wait are you over your dizziness because you never know you might miss the vein and stab something else. Maybe a tissue or something that I need to use for fighting," Roy said lying down on the ground.
----------------------------------------------------------------
LennaSuzaka Posted 1/2/2008 5:45:23 PM: "Okay, why Lightning Tower? Please tell me this isn't for your own benefit. And I'm fine. I'm just . . . a little light headed." Cheska said as she rubbed his arm with a disinfectant cloth. She then stuck the needle in his arm, but miss the vein by a little.
"Sorry . . ." She said as she lifted the needle. She then felt for Roy's vein and punctured it with the needle.
"Success." She quickly drew blood from the arm as Shinta asked, "Yeah, I have to agree with her. What good will that do us, Roy?"
----------------------------------------------------------------
Kieo1 Posted 1/2/2008 6:04:22 PM: "I won't lie. Yes it is to my personal benefit. But there's another thing too. The Old Cheagle Forest is near that area. And so is the Temple of Wind. But the Old Cheagle Forest has lots of herbs and powerful healing plants. There's a small detail that it is haunted but other than that it's a great oppertunity for your medical stuff Cheska," Roy said rubbing his arm.
"Plus what else can we do at this point. There's no real tracking Saitant(sp). And standing here won't help. She'll come at us when we least expect it. So what we just need to kill time until she makes her move," Roy said sitting up.
----------------------------------------------------------------
RusherMan Posted 1/2/2008 6:08:20 PM: "Well, I can at least keep the ruins from falling apart and crushing our only hope against Solstice Fever!" Krysta yelled,raising her right hand. "I call upon the Servant of mother earth! I summon thee... Come! GNOME!!!" With that, the ruby ring on Krysta's right hand glowed, and she slammed her right hand into the ground, causing a brown, mole-like creature with a giant shovel and a metallic red ribbon to burst out of the ground in front of her. "Gnome, can you keep the ruins from completely crumbling?" "Sure! That's a walk in the park for me!" Gnome scoffed before glowing an orangeish-brown. the rest of the ruins were- well, ruined, but the place where the herbs were was completely intact. "Thanks, Gnome." "Don't worry about it, Krysta. After all, you are my master," Gnome chuckled, rubbing the back of his head before disappearing in a burst of brown light. "So, Roy, you said that we were headed to the Tower of Lightning, right?" Krysta inquired, with a twinge of excitement in her voice. "Yeah, why do you ask?" Roy asked. "Because there's something special I need to do there. Alright, Volt, here I come!"
----------------------------------------------------------------
Kieo1 Posted 1/2/2008 6:25:29 PM: "See Krysta there wants to go to the Lightening Tower. And there's the Wind Temple a while from it to less than a day," Roy said.
Roy jumped to his feet and patted the dust off of him. Zieo quickly jumped onto his shoulder as well. Roy looked around at the rest of the group for any signs of acknowledgement or any thing of the sort.
"So can we go to the Lightening Tower?"

LennaSuzaka Posted 1/2/2008 6:30:02 PM: Shinta sighed and folded his arms. "Alright, we have nothing to lose. Who knows? Maybe Sataint will be there. If she is I would definately want to put her in her place. What about the rest of you?"
Cheska nodded. "I guess Roy does have a point. I need some herbs from there too. I need to adjust the potency that way. So . . .?"
----------------------------------------------------------------
RusherMan Posted 1/2/2008 6:32:56 PM: "Well, you already know what MY answer is," said Krysta, ecstatic,"And the Wind Temple is only a day away? It almost sounds too good to be true!"
----------------------------------------------------------------
LennaSuzaka Posted 1/2/2008 6:34:21 PM: Cheska pulled over Krysta to the side, "Hey . . . what other summons do you know? I'm kind of . . . interested!"
----------------------------------------------------------------
RusherMan Posted 1/2/2008 6:38:38 PM: "Well, there's Verius, the Summon Spirit of Heart, and Aska, the summon spirit of sunlight. Other than those two, Gnome's the only one I have a pact with." Krysta explained, showing Cheska the Quartzite ring on her right ring finger, the Topaz ring on her right thumb, and the ruby ring on her right middle finger respectively.
----------------------------------------------------------------
LennaSuzaka Posted 1/2/2008 6:53:47 PM: "Wow that's really nice," Cheska replied as she gazed at Krysta's rings.
"I wish I could use artes or summons. It's physically impossible for me to do so . . ."

Kieo1 Posted 1/2/2008 6:54:06 PM: "If we move to the closest town from here and stay there for the night. Then we leave around 8 in the morning we should arrive at the Lightening Tower let's say around 11," Roy said looking through several maps.
"Alright then let's get moving. Ouch my wings my precious wings they ache."
Roy walked over to Shinta. "Hey when we reach town you want to practice some," Roy said pulling out a moldy sandwich from his bag and eating it.
----------------------------------------------------------------
LennaSuzaka Posted 1/2/2008 6:58:27 PM: "You . . . really do need the practice after what I've seen, Roy. Arke is at least ten times better than you, and you're an angelus! I know you don't have some of my powers and never will, but I could at least teach you a new arte or two." Shinta half-smiled at Roy.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Kieo1 Posted 1/2/2008 7:07:54 PM: Roy stood there with his mouth half open.
"Thanks for helping and thanks for not complementing me. Man you just kinda suck all of the comedic spirit out of me. Plus I'm more of a lover not a fighter. But yeah I didn't train as hard as most people I just took up what I needed to survive. That's a different story though. And I really don't use my angelus powers."
"It's not that I have any disrespect for angelus it's just that being able to blend in with humans has more advantages let's say. And when I was little my mom raised me more. My dad was the angelus and my mom human. But that's another story," Roy said sealing his wings.
----------------------------------------------------------------
LennaSuzaka Posted 1/2/2008 7:22:50 PM: "Yes, well . . . perhaps you're just rusty then. Don't worry, I'll train you to be a better fight, alright? Lune, Arke, you coming!?" Shinta said, unsealing his blue wings. He then eyed Roy.
"Roy, you think you could handle me when we get there!?"
----------------------------------------------------------------
shadow5565 Posted 1/2/2008 8:20:09 PM: ~Lune~
"Yeah Shinta we're coming. But I need to wake Arke up first." Lune then walked over to her friend still sleeping. Still going through that horrible nightmare.
Lune shaked him slightly. "Arke? You awake-AHH!" A metal fist slammed into her side making her hit a tree.
~Arke~
"Dammit! Lune are you okay?" He ran by her side. "I'm so sorry. I was having a bad dream and then you woke me up and-" Lune raised her hand telling him to stop talking.
"I'm fine. You didn't use your spikes so it didn't hurt......as much." She whispered "as much" to herself. Arke helped her up.
"Hey Shinta! Hold on a minute, I need you to heal me." She walked away from the group. Arke knew she was able to cast first aid on herself. Something was going on.....

Kieo1 Posted 1/2/2008 8:21:28 PM: "Hey miracles happen," Roy said unsealing his wings.
"So who wants to hear ghost stories. I've got a handful about the area we're going to. Huh Arke you want to hear about the spirits in the Old Cheagle Woods," Roy flying right by Arke's ear, "you know they say that when one enters the forest. If his intensions aren't right a spirit will come and kill them. Some even say that others are possessed by the souls of cheagles who died there. But their mainly evil cheagles that kill others."
"Oh but that's not hte only one. How about the evil monsters of the Lightening Temple. Or even the crying wind of the Wind Temple," Roy teased as the group began to move.
----------------------------------------------------------------
LennaSuzaka Posted 1/2/2008 8:33:43 PM: ~Shinta~
"Sister . . ." Shinta frowned slightly as Lune neared him, wanting a first aid. He casted it with ease, allowing the wound to close simply. He then asked, "Lune, why can't you . . . do it yourself? Don't you have first aid?"
~Cheska~
Cheska was thinking about the summonings and her mana disability before she asked Roy for more stories, "Yeah, I'm more interested! Tell me more, please!"
----------------------------------------------------------------
shadow5565 Posted 1/2/2008 8:49:21 PM: ~Lune~
"Don't worry Shinta I know first aid." Lune said in a whisper. "I'm just worried about Arke. Ever since he's gotten his hands on that sword father used to seal Sataint away in, he's been more aggressive." She sighed as they walked along. "Can you help me keep an eye on him? If he gets worse we'll have to do something about that sword. But lets not take it away just yet." The brother and sister was now caught up with the group.
~Arke~
'Intentions aren't right? I'm starting to wonder if I have wrong intentions.' "Do you have to tell more ghost stories? They're creeping me out. And since I was asleep while you guys talked, where are we going?" Arke gazed up at the sun.
He was sure one of those four will come after him.
But the question was which one?
----------------------------------------------------------------
LennaSuzaka Posted 1/2/2008 9:08:28 PM: ~Shinta~
"Yeah . . ." He said as he folded his arms, casually trekking across the grassy earth.
"We're more powerful than mom and dad, you know that. So taking away this sword will be a piece a cake . . . right?" He pondered, wondering if those were the right words that escaped his lips.
"Don't worry, I'll protect you if it gets that ugly." He muttered before speaking Arke.
"Hey, Arke! We're heading to the nearest town for rest before we hit Lightening Tower. We may find something interesting there, but it's mostly benefiting Roy and Krysta there. Anyways, shouldn't you be telling us another ghost story to please Cheska?" He shrugged.
"Hey . . ." Cheska's voice was heard . . .
----------------------------------------------------------------
Kieo1 Posted 1/2/2008 9:08:54 PM: "We're heading to the Lightening Tower, Old Cheagle Woods, and the Wind Temple. Alright so there's this one about a woman who got possessed by a demon and then killed in the wind temple. It's said that the wind in that place is her screaming in agony as she stabbed herself constantly to end her life."
"Also about the little puppy who wandered into the Lightening Tower. His little owner went in after the boy and when the boy found the puppy it was nothing but a burnt mark on the ground. The boy turned into a mass sereal killer who well killed everyone. Oh and the woods it's said that if any blood is spilled on the holy grounds of the wood the forest will turn against that person."
Roy broke out laughing when he saw the scared look on Arke's face and the interested look in Cheska's face. Then Cheska began to ask him aobut his sources and such that's when he decided to end them.
"Their just stories. Heck I made up over half of them. But I'd watch out Arke because those whose soul is impure get grabbed by evil cheagle spirits and taken to the depths of hell. Nah I'm kidding with ya. Lighten up," Roy grinned.
