[COLOR=darkblue]Chole: He should go first... Iris: Of course... Mike: I'll go get them... Night: I'll be waiting...*looks down at the rapids and gulps* Iris: If you can't handle it...there are others... Night: No...I'll do this... Chole: Selen's probably going to go also... [i]Mike comes back with Selen, holding Gerome[/i] Night: I'll take you two... Selen: Thanks... Chole: *Reaches into pocket* It might get dark so... [i]Chole breathes fire into a small lantern with tough string[/i] Chole: Take this with you... [i]Chole reaches around Night's neck and ties the lantern around...[/i] Night: I feel so...special... Chole: Good luck! [/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkblue][i]Chole picks up Rex's hand and shakes it off...[/i] Chole: Strange...it's still moving... Iris: :therock: Kool: Maybe you wanna attach it back... Chole: Oh yeah... *Snap* Liam: Wow...kinda like legos or something...[/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkblue][i]Siren pulls back Mike...[/i] Siren: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! Mike: Whoa? Siren: Whoa! [i]A hail of bullets land where Mike would have been if Siren did not pull him out of the way.[/i] Siren: It's better to run than to fight, for now... Mike: ... Chole: *Sigh* The kid's not dead yet...but he will be if we don't take care of him in a warm place... Night: I'll go scout again...look for an exit to this cave... Liam: Good...I'll keep guard here... Selen: Same... Siren: Mike? Mike: ?? Siren: Maybe you and Chole should go and look around with Night... Iris: Me and Rev? Siren: Your choice...Rena stays though... Rena: *kicks dust* Chole: Mike... Mike: Coming... Rev: I'll guard the front... Siren: Oh...this is confusing... Iris: Let's go... Mike/Chole: Right... [i]Mike, Iris, and Chole chase after Night in the dark cavern...[/i][/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkblue]I hate to admit it...but I think I have WB for this also...*gulp* j/k ~~~~~~~ IC: [i]Espa picks up her cell phone and dials for her uncle...[/i] Espa: That's strange...no answer... Lupos: He probably fled... Espa: But he's had that store for countless years. Liam: But have you ever been away from him this long? Espa: We told him where we were going, right? Siren: More like the Council was supposed to tell him...did you forget? Espa: ... Lupos: It's okay...I have a feeling that he'll find us...[/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkblue]I'll join...I'll pick Glenn 'cause he's cool...[/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkblue]Chole: Nah...we'll all stand out and look at us funny... Iris: LOL... Kool: Stereotyping Chole? Chole: No...hmm...let's just head for that place...Dar something...? Liam: Darwin? Chole: Yeah...that's it... Rex: What are we waiting for? Sere: For this boat to start.. All: :rolleyes: Chole: Lemme help you with that... [i]Chole and Sere get their hands on the starter coil by the engine and yank really hard...voila...the engine starts![/i] Sere: Great... Liam: *Grabs the wheel* So we're out...[/COLOR]

I think there is good and evil...but the way you interpret it is what matters. When a Church or group goes to the extent of mass burnings...there's gotta be something wrong with that. It would be pointless buring HP and SW books because there's probably many other books with similar concepts. If they're trying to prove a point...they've proven it the wrong way.

OOC: Care to continue the storyline a little sometime? ~~~~~ [COLOR=darkblue]Iris: Poor Chole... Night: I wonder if Ten was that woman in the lab that watched from above. Iris: Yeah, that's her... Liam: What was she like? Iris: I dunno... Siren: Let's just let Chole cry his eyes out for now... Selen: So insensitive... Siren: Go comfort him if you want...it won't make that much of a difference. Mike: Our matters are to Gerome (Roux) Lynd: How is he? Rena: I hope he's alright... Rev: Well...who knows medicine stuff... Siren: *Looks into the dark recesses of the cave* Iris: Siren? You know something? Siren: I just might... Night: Well, maybe if you share it...might help... Siren: ...no...it's nothing...just my old mind playing tricks on me again. Selen: Huh? Liam: He won't hold out long if he doesn't have anything to eat or drink... Selen: ... [i]Everyone looks down at Gerome (Roux) by the fire and watches him wither away...[/i] Rena: *Tears come down her eyes...and she hids her face by Rev's leg* Rev: There's gotta be something we can do...[/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkblue]Hmm...from the moment of our birth it starts...unstoppable. The light will shine for only a few instances before it goes out, then darkness will come forth and engulf all that the light has created. There are few who can bring light to others...their time will end also...but before they are taken away, their mission is to pass on that light to others, eventually bursting into flames that will continue to burn for many years, until the darkness engulfs it again...and the cycle repeats.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkblue]Chole: So...we're surrounded with really no way out? Iris: Let's concentrate on that later... Chole: I wonder why he won't wake up... Rena: Beats me... Siren: Chole, you're capable of telepathy, am I right? Chole: Yeah... Liam: Maybe you wanna give it a try. Chole: Nah, I'll probably hurt him even more, let him rest for a while. Selen: He's been like that ever since I rescued him... Chole: That was a few days ago! Night: ... Selen: Your point? Lynd: Selen, what happened to him anyway? Selen: We got into a little fight with Hunters and parts of the house collapsed on us... Chole: *Crouches by Gerome and checks his head* Rena: ?? Chole: I think I know why he's not fully waking up...look... [i]Iris looks down while Chole parts Gerome's hair, exposing a huge gash and a dark patch of skin[/i] Iris: no... Chole: It's hard to tell how bad it really is...but...it would have been better if we left him with professionals. Selen: And let him get captured? No! Chole: Better then letting him die... Selen: He would have died anyway! Chole: *Looks down* Ten... Iris: Chole? Chole: Excuse me... [i]Chole gets up and runs deeper into the cavern, away from the light of the fire...he sits by the wall in the dark and starts to cry...[/i][/COLOR]

OOC: Flash, don't worry, you'll get your summary, though I'm...busy, busy, busy... ~~~~~~~ [COLOR=darkblue] [i]Siren returns[/i] Chole: *Charges up* Iris: What are you doing? Chole: Getting ready for battle... Lynd: I don't think we're going to win with brute force. Chole: I know...we hit them...hard, and take off. Night: I think this towns a bit surrounded. Siren: Perhaps these caverns serve more than one purpose. Selen: How so? Iris: Anything...hideout obviously, escape route hopefully. Liam: It might be a good idea if we did... Chole: The observatory might be a good location... Mike: Underground might be better. Chole: Okay then... [i]The group scales the mountain in search of a third road leading down the slope...[/i] Liam: Find anything? Selen: *Looks at sleeping boy* He's not gonna last much longer. Siren: Great...just great... Night: I'll take care of you two... Selen: Thanks a lot... [i]Selen hops on Night again as they launch high above the sky, looking down at the group and approaching troops.[/i] Chole: *Pokes around the corner* Over here! Rev: Yes! Rena: Yes! Iris: Copying Rev huh... Rena: :D Lynd: Let's head inside... [i][/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkblue][i]Chole slips in between the gates and runs over to the controls and opens it.[/i] Rev: Heka small... Chole: Yeah, it seems safe... Mike: A ghost town... Rena: :confuse2: Liam: Don't worry...we've got you covered. Siren: Zophar seems closer than we expected it to be... Chole: Yeah it only took us one day of travel... [i]Chole jumps down with the others...[/i] Night: I'll keep watch...*Jumps up and spreads his wings* [i]Night flies off[/i] Chole: Let's go see what's in here... [i]The walk around the entrance of the city, looking at the scraps of metal and various junk arranged into little huts and houses. As the look at the mountain side, they see an observatory and a satellite surrounded by more huts and a hollow layer cut out for something...huge.[/i] Iris: Looks like a civilization that died off years ago. Liam: Crude stuff...*picks up a piece of metal* Mike: Maybe some of this stuff still works... Chole: Yeah, up there maybe... Night: *From above* You think there's a way up there besides me carrying you? Chole: *Looks at the base of the mountain* Yeah, there's a road that leads up there...but it seems unstable. Night: *Looks at the road, then outside the city...* Uh-oh... [i]Smoke and sand dust from the distance begin to appear and get closer...[/i] Night: Hunters! Chole: Why!? Iris: Forget why, let's just go! Rena: I- I'm scared... [i]Iris carries Rena and runs up the base of the mountiain.[/i] Chole: Iris! Wait up! *Jumps up and chases after her* Selen: *Picks up little boy* He's still asleep... Mike: Let me take him... Lynd: Yeah...you better...with that ankle you're not going to last very long... Night: *Decends* Let me... [i]Selen, carrying the boy, jumps onto Night as he lifts off back into the sky.[/i] Selen: Thanks... Liam: Time to go!... [i]Mike leads the way up the mountain with the rest of the group following behind...they reach the hollow cave at the middle and wait...[/i] [/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkblue]Chole: Well, I wish there was a better way to get there besides on foot... Iris: Eh...we'll probably find something on the way. Lynd: We could always stop by Celes first... Rev: And endanger them again? no... Chole: He's right...kinda... Rena: *Hmph* Night: Shall we go? Chole: You talking to me? Iris: I think he is... Chole: Then...let's go! [i]The group sets out into the open desert sands...Chole takes a look back and sighs[/i] Chole: I'm gonna miss you, Ten... [/COLOR] ~~~~~~~~~ Here's what I thought Chole would look like....

[COLOR=darkblue]Chole: What's going on? Iris: Nothing...absolutely nothiooomygawd... [i]Iris covers Chole's eyes as Rex starts making out with one of the girls on the beach...[/i] Kool: Just what the doctor ordered... Chole: Iris?! Let go... Iris: dumdedummdummm... Sere: Lol... Liam: Well, I'm back...*jumps into boat* Where's Rex... Chole: He's over there...somewhere...Iris!? Iris: Nothing...just trying to shield him from the truth...[/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkblue]Iris: Oh in time you'll learn... Chole: Oh, I can't wait :rolleyes: Sere: Hey, don't do that... Kool: SO what now? Iris: Liam's gonna be back soon. Chole: Why don't we go look for him? [/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkblue]Chole: Is everyone okay? All: Yes... Chole: Good... Siren: Who's leading this thing anyway? Night: I follow Chole... Chole: Why? Night: After rescuing you from the park on new years...I feel it's my calling. Mike: Chole's aunt did let us say at her house. So I guess I owe it to 'em. Rev: I just wanna live through all of this. Iris: Same here. Lynd: your aunt instructed us to go to Zophar... Chole: Yeah...she seems to know everything... Iris: Maybe... Liam: Do you have any idea? Chole: Not really...the topography is mostly moutainous...the front is bacically a junkyard... Siren: Place of refuge maybe. Mike: Only one way to find out... [/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkblue]Lupos: Well...you beat Orion...I guess we'll have to wait. Liam: No real hurries... Craig: Well...*looks at Zack* Zack: It's what I do best... Lupos: Are we bringing anything? Espa: You want a sacrifice. Liam: That's not neccesary now. Siren: We can bring one in...but if they don't let us in. It'll be all for nothing... Lupos: Do you think they've excommunicated us? Siren: It is a possibility...seeing as we were gone for a month or two.[/COLOR]

It's a promising RPG... it's slated for a U.S. relase sometime in March through May...and a European relase during Q3 2002.

[COLOR=darkblue]Chole: *Sniff* Iris: Don't feel so bad...we'll find a way... Kool: To what? Liam: What if I just go and get some food while you guys wait on dry dock? Rex: That sounds fine... [i]As the approach the island...they find a safe harbor and shut the boat's engines...[/i] Liam: I'll be right back... [i]Liam jumps off the boat and walks over to the checkpoint...he shows his Passport and is let through.[/i] Rex: Whelp...there he goes... Chole: What? He has the hard part...we just wait here and look cool... Rex: *Poses* Kool: *falls to the ground* [i]Two girls dressed in tankinis pass by the boat and look at Rex and Chole.[/i] Iris: Don't even think about it Chole. Chole: :D Iris: Innocent smile huh...at least you're not running after them... Kool: Speaking of which...*points at Rex* [i]Rex begins chasing the two girls past the checkpoint.[/i] Chole: :therock: Iris: We are so dead... Kool: You mean he is? Chole: If he gets caught...our party gets caught... Iris: Should we go after him? Kool: Ugh :flaming: I don't wanna but...*sigh*[/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkblue][i]...Chole extends his hands and breathes fire into his hands...raising it up over his head, he strikes down and quickly turns around, exposing the silhouette of his wings with his flames...[/i] Siren: Cool move... Chole: Same to yours... Siren: Shall we...leave? Liam: That'll aid in our escape...they won't be able to find us from all that interference... Chole: How'd you become so strong? Siren: It's a gift, I guess...I heard something was wrong so I decided to put my years of training to the test.. Liam: Personally, I haven't seen stuff like that in real life... Chole: ya-huh? Liam: Only in the books, kid. Siren: Well...we should meet up with the others... [/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkblue]Chole: I like Darwin...but can we take it? Iris: I know I can go without food for a couple days...or water either... Chole: Same here... Kool: I'm...not so sure... Rex: C'mon...toughen up...it saves us the time... Chole: It wouldn't hurt to stop at PNG for a while...[/COLOR]

I'd try to live life to my fullest...if I can...I don't think with a life-threatening disease you coudn't do very much...unless it's long-term. I'd also have to accept the fact that I'm going to die at somepoint, sooner than most people before moving on.

[COLOR=darkblue]Liam: Hopefully he makes it quick... Lupos: *Taps foot* They're late... Espa: L.A. traffic, what do you expect? Lupos: We can't keep our kin waiting on us for the news. Liam: They'll be here...[/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkblue]OOC: ...you and the kid are outside town..waiting for us...you escaped with Night and he should be with you too... ~~~~~~~~~~ Chole: Nice... Siren: Don't you have it? Chole: I'm not familiar with that technique... Siren: Maybe I or Liam can teach you it someday... [i]Siren focues her energy through her wings and generates one strong flap, releasing all her pent up rage against the group of hunters...[/i] Night: Excellent... Liam: Time to depart... Chole: *Sigh* Goodbye Meteo City...for the second time now... [i]Chole, Liam, and Siren make a break for the perimeter of the city, catching up with the rest of the group.[/i] Iris: Took care of 'em? Chole: Of course... Mike: It's nice to have more people going with us this time. Selen: *Holding boy in her arms* Will they be after us? Chole: Yeah...how's he holding up? Selen: He's fine...dehydrated and hungry... Lynd: Celes? Rev: Most likely...[/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkblue]Chole: Well...it's getting dark...let's ignore it for now and make camp...I'm getting a little sleepy... Rex: Gah, we're leaving... Chole: The fog machine? Liam: Yeah...it really sucks when all they can use is seawater... Chole: *Sniffs* yup...that's seawater and dead fish alirght... Iris: Ewww*pinches nose* [i]They all get back on the boat and push off...[/i] Kool: So what now? Rex: Find another island... Chole: Too bad we don't have a map...[/COLOR]
