[FONT=Comic Sans MS][COLOR=Navy]Omi felt her heart skip for some reason and smiled wickedly despite the fact that she felt warm. She took his hand and as soon as she hit the back of the saddle trasformed fully so the heat would not harm her. She wrapped her arms around Abbadon's waist and held on tightly knowing full well the speed his horse was capable of. She put her forehead against Abbadons back as well so the air rushing past them would not hurt her face as they began rideing swiftly in the direction Abbadon was instrusting. She frowned slightly thinking of her reaction to him holding out his hand to her, and her slight reaction to the postion she found her-self in now. She saw a flashback of his smile in her mind and felt her heart jump again. 'Am I ill?' Her thoughts were scattered now, the look on Drakken's face as she tried speaking with him, her reations to Addadon. It was all wrong to her. She had riden like this with Abbadon many times in the past and it had never quiet felt this heated to her. 'Maybe the magma beast is still in his system. That would explain it.' She frowned deeper as a little voice told her she felt this heat before she had even gotten on the horse or held him. 'Is my heart trying to tell me something?' She thought back to their previous lives and realized that with out ever meaning to be they did seem to end up in the same area as one another, true they aggravated each other relentlessly but other then that they got along just as well. She kept thinking back and fouond herself remembering when he died in the last battle. It had been before her, she frowned even more as the memory surged through her mind. She suddenly remembered that final moment she had to speak with him [I]"You idiot! How could youo let something like this take you down? Your not that weak!" She didn't realize she was crying till he chuckled and wiped a tear off of her cheek. "You shouldn't cry, it doesn't suit you Ivy." She gasped and wiped her eyes furiously but no matter what she did they kept coming stronger and stronger. "Why are yoou crying anyway...thouoght you hated me." "I dunno why! I do hate you! It's because I wasn't able to be the one to kill you, you bastard!" He laughed more then, blood draining from the side of his mouth from his wounds. "Make up your mind would you woman?" She buried her face in his chest and hit it a couple of times, but not hard enough to hurt him further. "Moron! Why?...Why is it that you had to die first?" "Ivy...are you sad that I'm dying?" "No, I'm just crying for no reason...yes I'm sad." "Why?" Her face softened and she smiled gently. "Your the only one who really understands the way I am." "Hmph. Your easy to read...listen watch out for Drakken, take care of him. Stay close to him." "What do you want me to do? Mother him sheesh." He smiled at that and then was gone. She bent down and kissed his forehead softly. "Goodbye, my dear friend, go with the knowlage that your loved."[/I] Her eyes flaed open as a singal tear fell from her cheek. Her heart hammering in her chest. Was it Drakken she really loved or was that what she wanted to believe for so long it was all she knew? Her mind raced as quickly as Abbadon's horse carried them but she remained silent.[/COLOR][/FONT] Sorry it took so long. Been busy.

[FONT=Comic Sans MS][COLOR=Navy]Alright, looks like we're ready to go. I will have this up tonight, my second charcter will be introduced in the story after a little bit but here he is. BTW random, I love the charcter, being a fan of FFIX I can do nothing but accept her. lol. Name: Seto Black Age: 45 Gender: Male Post: Seto sat in the captians quarters of the Black Rose waiting for the news from his least favorite of the pirate lords to come in. "Sir! She's collected all of them in the port at St. Bers." "Is that so? So close to the Navy eh? I suppose she didn't have much of choice, it is the most convieiant place for the likes of us to hide. Send out Mordaci! He'll watch over her to make sure she doesn't try anything stupid." A large and muscualr man walked through the door, or rather up to the door and then ducked through." "Capn'?" "Find her and keep an eye on her, if she does anything other then what I ordered her, kill her." He bowed his head and left quietly. "Sir? Can we trust the likes of that man?" "He is not simply a man, he is a Laguaz, a beast trapped in a human body. I would trust no one but this an for this job. That is all, head for Home, we'll meet them there." The younger man saluted smartly and rushed out. "What on this green Earth are you planning girl?" Apperance/personality: Seto is an older man of high stature, his hair and beard black but slowly turning grey. His eyes are a pierceing blue and his face is somewhat marred from his many battle but he is still hansome, in a rugged type of way. He wears the traditional pirate clothes and seems to think it fit to keep an eye on all of the lower lords of nine that are under him as pirate king. His clothes are blood red and are trimmed in gold. His hat is as well wth a large white feather sticking out from the right side. He is strict in his codes and thinks that all captians should be as well. Look for it tonight everyone. [/COLOR] [/FONT] [COLOR=DarkRed]MadHat, you have to edit your post or I will have to cut you from this RP...It has not been fixed yet, please do so![/COLOR] 06/12/07 MadHat, I am going to PM you one last time about your post, if you do not fix it I will have to exclude you from the Rp.

[FONT=Comic Sans MS][COLOR=Navy]Clair smiled at her brother and then at Vincent. "He was just saying what a wounderful person I am." Vincent scoffed and then smiled and said nachalontly. "Yeah, naked." clair cheeks flared and she punched his arm, hard, making him wince. She huffed and walked ahead of them and into her Liger when her father called her over. "I have something for you, you've never been a liger fan I know..." "Dad, it's fine. It has the speed of Dash. I'll live." "I found you a Gravity Saix. It's just like the lightning saix only faster. It's top speed is 500." Her eyes bugged and she nodded with out realizeing it. "Another thing, the memory from Dash was still useable, he's been incorparated into the G. Saix." "Oh, thank you daddy!" She ran outside and gasped a jet black zoid stared down at her, looking like a mix between a lightning saix and a zaber fang. the same waepon system as Dash. She smiled and jumped in happy to see her belts and buckles as before. She leaned out the cockpit as Vicent and her brother and smiled. She blew Vincent a mock kiss and closed the cockpit, the zoid roared to life and in an instant was gone.[/COLOR][/FONT]

[FONT=Comic Sans MS][COLOR=Navy]Omi had just begun to reach for Drakken's hand when she felt the sharp bite of a blade go through her shoulder, screaming in agony she whirled around and growled as vined encircled the demon and began to punture it untill one came out his mouth killing it. She reached around her shouler and screamed as she tried to pull the blade for her shoulder causeing it to drag upward and hurt her more. She screamed as blood splattered the ground, where ever it hit vegetation grew. She hit her knees and grabbed a root that was sticking from the ground and yanked it out turning it into a whip, she stood and snapped it killing a demon behind Drakken. "Snap out of it. We'll talk later." She rushed off towards Abbadon to warn him leaving Drakken to his thoughts as he fought.[/COLOR][/FONT]

[FONT=Comic Sans MS][COLOR=Navy]I know what your going through. Although it sounds like when I had my son I was much younger then you. I never experianced morning sickness or anything like that when I was pregnant with my son. When you start to crave REALLY weird stuff like I did, peanut butter and dill pickle sandwhiches, basil and vanilla ice cream, then you can worry. But do get a test first. As for the abortion, having my son has given me joy beyond what I ever thought I could happen to me. My husband and I were still in highschool when I had him and it was tough but we both finished and I would never tade him for anything in the world. I know children are not for everyone but I advise having the child full term and putting it up for adoption. Like others have said there are couples who would love to have a child and may not be able to. So please consider that as well. But as many have said do not panic untill you absolutely know for sure and if your not, get birth control. I've gone through what your going through with my husband a few times as well. We dont want another at the moment and there have been times we thought I was, it's stressful so if you want some one to talk to, message me, I'll be more than happy to talk to you about things.[/COLOR][/FONT]

[FONT=Comic Sans MS][COLOR=Navy]*Head hits desk* this is going to be very interesting when it gets going. lol. Okay few things for a few people. Dragon, you need to change your age and reason for being docked at the port, we're all here for a purpose. My character has called a meeting of the lords that should be your reason and should be stated in the post which you need to work your bio into. The bio was not called for so just add more to your post. MadHat, I pmed you about yours. Everyone else seems to be okay as far as I can see. I'll give this one a few more days to see if the last two pirate lords get taken, if not I'll have myself and another play an extra character. I have not decided who yet but if you are willing PM another sign up for another character and I'll pick the best out of them. Thanks for all who've signed up and for Random, welcome back. [/COLOR] [/FONT]

[FONT=Comic Sans MS][COLOR=Navy]Brisk stood and watched as everyone asked their questions and got their answers. It was easier then she thought it would be, just listening to what the others had to say. It wasn't long before they had all begun to move again and began to talk with each other again. She leaned on the back wall and smiled as the others chattered away happily. She could deal with not talking. She just got to hear what the others had to say better with nothing in the way and she decided she enjoyed that better.[/COLOR][/FONT]

[FONT=Comic Sans MS][COLOR=Navy]Clair walked back to her room which she shared with Vincent and flopped on the bed, tears creeping into her eyes as she though about Dash. She unconciously remembered when she first got him and how hard it had been to control him. She buried her face in her pillow and pressed it to her eyes tightly. She st up and threw her pillow and gaspes as Vincent came in through the door it hit. "Sorry..." Okay,everyone training time! Sazabi, you've coe to get my character, everyone else finish your upgrades and head to the arena.[/COLOR][/FONT]

[FONT=Comic Sans MS][COLOR=Navy]Omi sighed more and streched as she felt her limbs pop she looked into the fire that Abbadon had made and put her hands on her knees proping her chin in them. "This is unlike me isn't it?" "Omi, I have hardly ever seen you cry, nor smile. Usually the only thing I see of you is the blunt end of your temper." She let out a dry laugh and punched his arm lightly. "That is because you invoke it so much." she coughed as her throat tightend again and a tear escaped her. "This is useless. I don't even know why I try any more." "Your in love, though I do not know that feeling. But from what I've heard it makes you do strange things." She nodded smileing sadly. "Like rescueing the man that killed your family." "Wait, what?" "Chaos, the first time we met, he killed my family because we were harboring angels. I took one look at him and knew I had to be by his side." Abbadon snorted as he covered his mouth trying not to laugh. "You think it's funny, but it's the truth." "So you saved us, and became a demon?" "I was born a demon you ninny. My mother was cursed and my father was an idiot for thinking her loyal. She hated the life in hell so she came to earth but always revisted her demon lover. That is how I was concived." "To much information Omi." She shook her head and took a deep breath. "I suppose I'll just have to take what I can get, even if it does hurt more then anything. Being by Drakken's side is more then enough, even if I can look but not touch him. Tsubassa holds a place I can never have, never will..." She wiped the tears that fell from her eyes and looked up as the sun started to come through the vine of the tree. "Thanks for this Abbadon, it was nice to get all that off of my chest." She looked at him, her eyes bright green, which usually meant she was in a good mood. "Talk to you later friend." She stepped out of the cover of the trees and stopped dead as she came face to face with Drakken. She felt her face redden, she wanted to run, to scream, to do anything but she was frozen to her spot and could only stand there as he looked at her, a look of bewilderment on his face, and something that looked that realization in his eyes. Her throat unforze from that look and she spoke lightly enough for only them to hear. "Drakken..."[/COLOR][/FONT]

Name: Duo Age: 18 Gender: Female Personality: Duo is energetic and happy most of the time, alway wears a smile and means it. She is very friendly and gets along with everyone. But if you get her mad watch out. Apperance: [URL=http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b12/MidnightsDragon/Anime/anime.jpg]Duo[/URL] Her hair is down to her waist though. Bio: Duo was in the bathroom, taking a much needed shower and was in the middle of washing her hair wen she felt the shudder of the boat and quickly got out, getting dressed and grabbed hat ever she could find in the dressing room, it just so happened to be a decrative swordand uses that, it may be dull but it works for hitting people. She was runing through a hallway when it collapsed and fell onto of her knocking her out. She woke up the next morning with a lump on her head and the sword in her hand and realizeing that there were strange people onboard with them. Weapon: She uses a decrative sword at the moment but later she gets a large scyth Hope this is okay, if not lemme know!

[FONT=Comic Sans MS][COLOR=Navy]It was a while before she heave a sigh and just sloouched against Abbadon. She looked up at him and smiled, something he couldn't ever recall her doing around him. " I saw them kissing, just like I did before...I suppose I shouold just give it up. It's been milieums and even now they still love each other that much, she hid all that from him and he still feels so strongly for her. I geuss all I can do is just support him and be there for him as I always have been." She breathed in a deep sigh and winced alittle as a pair of leathery wings sprouted from her back, but unlike all the others her's were a light green. She folded them to her back, she blushed slightly as she saw small brown lines along the outside of them. "About you being a big red monster, we all have our secrets, I'm special in my own way as well. She looked as a puddle on the ground near where they were sitting and sighed putting her finger in it he watched as the water dissappered he watched as her skin on her hand became lighter and seemed to get softer. "Your fire its self, me, I'm a plant..." She saw him blink and smiled at him laughing at his confused expression. "I have to soak in water like a plant otherwise I wilt." She closed her eyes and leaned on him more, a small smile still on her lips. "You know, we're not all that diffrent I guess both of us have our own little problems." She sighed once more before letting sleeplessness over take her. Her small smile still in place as her head rested on his shoulder. "And I like you better in your true form. You look better that way to me. More natural." She took a deep breath and as she let it out she transformed as well, her skin pale, her hair braided here and there as it fell loose to the ground, flowers entangeld in it was well, the smell of Iris flowers floating up to meet Abbadons nose. She wasn't as frail as she was in her human form, she was no longer a plant, she was a demon, her hair blood red and he could only guess her eyes were emerald green as they were so long ago. She was asleep, the small smile still set gently in place.[/COLOR][/FONT]

[FONT=Comic Sans MS][COLOR=Navy]Omi felt her teeth digging into her lip and soon tasted blood, she felt hot tears forming in her eyes and rolled off the tree branch and hit the ground. As soon as she hit she started to walk not even caeing where she was going. She wasn't even aware that Tsubassa had caught a glimps of her as she walked away. Going into the forest she tripped over someone and hit the ground hard, tears falling freely now. She looked up and saw that it was Abbadon, a look of sympathy and friendship on his face, biteing her lip again she went to walk away from him when he caught her. "You saw didn't you?" She spun around on him ready to hit him when she saw the look in his eyes and bit her lip, she buried her face in his chest, glad to get some support for where she could. It was the only thing she could do. She gripped his shirt and let the tears fall freely, in the back of her mind she remembered something like this happening last time, only she had walked in on them kissing. It was the hardest thing she had ever felt and it was killing her every time little by little. She simply stood there getting support from her companion as the reality of her loss began to settle in on her, she would never have his love the way Tsubassa would and she would never be his the way Tsubassa would either. This thought only made her heart twist more and her sobs become louder.[/COLOR][/FONT]

[FONT=Comic Sans MS][COLOR=Navy]Brisk went to held out her hand and opened her mouth to speak but blinked as nothing came out. She put her hand to her throat and looked around, the man that had came in starving looked at her. "What's wrong?" She pointed to her throat and then put her hand over it again. "Your throat hurt?" She shook her head and knelt down writeing in the sand. 'My voice is finally gone.' "What do you mean finally?" 'After I accepted the Gangirock I started to lose my voice...now it's gone for good.' He blinked and looked at the others. Brisk was now sitting in the corner, her knees pulled to her chest tears slowly leaking from her eyes. She looked around at the others talking to each other and felt her heart tighten. She was finally unable to talk to anyone ever again. She looked down and waited for the next step to finally happen.[/COLOR][/FONT]

[FONT=Comic Sans MS][COLOR=Navy]Omi settled onto the branch not far off from the other's being able to listen to the conversations that were filtering here and there between others. She frowned as she heard Drakken and Tsubassa begin to talk and tried to block it out. Unable to to ignore it she rolled over on the branch smileing as it expanded to fit her body she gasped and fell out as Abbadon called her name. "You know Omi, if you feel so strongly about him, why not tell him." "Yeah right...and have him tell me that it's pretty much useless? Are you insane?" "Omi, there is no harm trying." She smiled sadly and nodded. "I suppose your right. Though if things happen as they did last time, it won't matter." "Why is that?" "Do you not remember? I tried telling him before and it went in one ear and out the other, he was to wrapped up in Grace." "That's why youo talk to him after he gets done talking to Tsubassa." "Yeah, that's just what he needs after he asks if they really did get married...No thank you." He shook his head. "Stubbron as always I see." She climbed the tree again and lay back down getting reay for bed she put her hands over her ears as she could still hear Drakken and Tsubassa talking.[/COLOR][/FONT]

[COLOR=Navy][FONT=Comic Sans MS]Legend has it that ceturies ago the council of the pirate lords came together and decided that the goddess of the seas, Calypso was to be imprisioned in a human body for all eternity so they would be able to control the seas for them selves. As fate would have it the maps began to get smaller and the ways of the pirate were getting more and more rare, the 9 pirate lords all had extreme bountys on their heads, but as the times kept going they could no longer find the human form of the goddess and so continued through their heires. Now eons later the ways of the pirates are coming ever so close to a close and the heires to the pirate lords of old have decided it is time to continue the search for Calypso and let her have rule over the seas once more, to decide if one ship should stay on open water or sink to the bottom and be crushed in davey Jones locker. It is now when at the end of all pirates that the nine and their crews step up and hunt Calypso down to free her and regain an ear of the sea. Callil sighed as she looked at the dock infront of her, it was old and shabby, her ship looked out of place next to it, the glossy Ebony finish of the wood standing out against the dull geen boards of the old dock. She took a step forward and spun around hearing a loud thud as her first mate jumped dock with her. "Largo, I thought I told you to stay with the crew and make sure none try to run off with the ship or jump ship here." "Trust me ma'am, the crew of the Reaper would not dare leave at a time like this." She nodded and pulled the hood of her cloak around her face so it was hidden; walking to the north eastren part of town she walked into a bar and sat down in the back corner, requesting a rum she propped her feet on the table and drank it slowly watching the door and keeping her hand on her pistol, anyone who looked at her knew she was waiting on something, or someone. She tapped her sword lightly makng it hum and stood as another one dressed like her walked in letting the person know where she was. It was another of the nine. Like her this person was also with it's first mate. They shook hands but did not take the hoods off, they were waiting till everyone was there and then they would go to the back room and have their meeting for the bar here was a hide away for the likes of ones like them. A dieing breed of sailors. Pirates. Callil let her blue eyes wander through the bar searching the windows for soilders and then the inside for the likes of them as well, nothing to that effect yet but it was just a matter of time with the nine ships that were to be docked outside the port on this night. Her singal reasoning for doing what she was doing was she loved the life of a pirate, to go where you want, to be free and sail the seas with out ever having to report to a port, for others it was diffrent but they all had one thing in common...they wanted to seas to be in thier hands once again.

[FONT=Comic Sans MS][COLOR=Navy]I think it's easy to say that all of us have had a wake up call, I know not to long ago I posted something similar to this here. My husband, who at the time was my fiance, and I split up, now my husband and my son are my world and my world just doesnt work unless they are both a part of it. At that time I only had one of them and I latched onto my son, not even taking a night to go to the movies or anything, i just stayed home with him, he slept in the bed with me instead of in his crib and it went on like that for months till I got a really big wake up call, a friend of ours told me that on his cell phone his gretting message was not his current girlfriends name or something concerning her, it was the title he had put there for me years ago, as a matter of fact it's still there to this day 4 years later from the time we started dateing. I knew that there was hope we would be together again and I knew that it was only a matter of time, boastful I know but you see it had happened before and we always managed to come together in the middle. I guess what I'm saying is it may seem like its unbearable now and it may seem that way for a long time, or maybe for a week or so but no matter how long it will seem longer, but just keep your head up and look for ways to fix it, for me I just had to calm down and talk to him like I used to before I moved away from him, happy and energetic, the person he fell in love with. Gave him time to see what he really wanted and in he end it was me. I know it's far from the same but the lesson is the same. Him and I are married now and are dealing with money problems like you usully so in life, but like all the times before when something went wrong, I'm staying me, laid back and happy. Just keep looking forward and look at the good things in life and it wont seem as bad as what your mind is making it out to be. There are always other options, it may be your dream college but it's not the ONLY one for you. If it doesnt work out after another chance, try something else. The world is full of possibilties and not one of them is beyond anyones reach. I wish you the best of luck.[/COLOR][/FONT]

[FONT=Comic Sans MS][COLOR=Navy]Oh my giddy aunt, I have this problem SO many times i have completely given up. My first name is Tyrissa, its a mix between Melissa and Teresa. Don't ask how my mom quished them together she just did. lol. Now my maiden name is Pringle, you can imagin the coments I got for that one. X.X There were times I just admitted to being the heire of he Pringle development( I AM NOT). My name now is DeBonis which is italian, so it gets messed up all the time, my husband and I have heard them all, and the spelling is even worse cause its spell with the B capatalized but no one does it and it drives my hubby up a wall, but sayings have gotten very ridiculous, from DeBonair to Deboner. ^^;. And now with both these names together, Tyrissa DeBonis...my life is now a pop quiz when getting mail. lol.[/COLOR][/FONT]

[COLOR=Navy][FONT=Comic Sans MS]Clair watched as the support unit came up to her and began to try and treat her, giving them a deadly look she pointed to the others. "Take chare of my unit first." She looked at Dash and felt her throat tighten wit more tears. She whirled around as her father's voice came from behind her. "He was a good zoid hun, you and him did well." She ran to him and buried her face in his shoulder crying. "Dad..." "Come on Clair, it's time to go." She nodded and sat down next to Haze who was now awake and sighed exahustedly and put her head on his shoulded promptly falling asleep, a stray tear falling every now and then. She woke up a few hours later hearig a tremendous roar, blinking she flung the sheets off and raced for the hanger hopeing it was all a dream, but as she slid on the tile and hit her side causeing pain to shoot up her side she knew it was all real. She shok her head as she saw her father repairing and gushing over the other zoids. "Clair, good to see you up and about, I have something to talk to you about." "Oh goody." "Your going to need a new zoid." "I don't want to think about that right now dad." "Well seeing as everyone else is getting thier zoids upgraded and training begins in an hour I think you need one." She let out a sigh. "Fine, what did you have in mind?" "I brought a few from the warehouse with me that I've been saving for an emergency, their all really cool!" "Dad, I'm not concerned with 'cool', please." "Alright, come this way." She followed him to the very back of the hanger where a group of zoids were watching, she felt like they were judgeing her. "Your used to speed so I tried doing what I could, I brought along the Zero and all it's capabilities." "You mean the liger and it's attachments? No thanks." He shrugged. "There's the Hayate Liger." "How fast?" "420." "That's faster then Dash was." "Yes it is. There is also the Energy Liger-" "To bulky for me" "Thought so, there is also the Brastle Tiger and Blade Liger." "I think I'll stick with the Hayate, thanks dad." Relucantly she climbed into the zoid and headed for the dome, getting there she saw eveyone else working on their zoids look up at her and the new liger. He was decked out with everything and she noticed that they too were adding to their Zoids, great this would put them all in leagues of their own, no more even ground. She sighed and leaned back into the piolit seat. "Well now, I have to think of a name for you don't I?" The liger let out a tremendous roar and she realized it had been him that had woken her up in the infermary. She felt her self smile a little despite herself.[/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR=Navy][FONT=Comic Sans MS]I say we go on ahead and when things straighten out he can met us up in the rp later cause at the rate its going its going to get shut down or just dwindle away and die on its own. We've waited long enought for one person. I think others are getting bored waiting for something to happen and will eventually quit because of it. [/FONT] [/COLOR]

[FONT=Comic Sans MS][COLOR=DarkRed]*Everyone else is taking a while to post so I'm going to go ahead and move on.*[/COLOR] [COLOR=Navy]Clair woke up feeling heavy an groggy, she could smell smoke, and blood. That wasn't good, but the smoke had her worried the most. "D-Dash, are you okay?" She tried to shift but wiced and looked down at the shard of metal lodged in her side. "Shit, Dash, can you move?" Letting out a weak roar he slowly stood and she began to cry as she felt him shudder under his own body weight. "Hang in there partner, you'l be okay." She let out a pain filled sob as her zoid hit the ground unable to go any further. "Dash, Dash! Don't give up on me now! Please..." She put her forehead against the consle and took a deep breath as the cold metal touched her forhead she began to cry harder as the color began to drain from the consle. "No! Dash please don't give up on me!" She watched helplessly as the zoid core shut down, she placed a kiss on the dash and undid all her buckles a moment later, he was gone. Getting out careless of her own injuries she looked him over and found the damage, a large slate spike from the cliff he leaned against was sticking straight into his chest. 'It must have reached his core when we hit...' She looked around as the others were coming out of their zids as well, every one else still had their partener with the battle over. She bit her lip to hold in the tears, though some still escaped, and began to walk slowly towards the base. [/COLOR] [COLOR=DarkRed]*Alight, battle is over, if you did not post your battle, recap your fight.*[/COLOR][/FONT]

[FONT=Comic Sans MS][COLOR=Navy]Omi felt the soft carress of the grass agianst her cheek and smiled as she opened her eyes and saw she was laying in a bed of flowers that she had conjured in her sleep, picking one she took a small smell and looked up as a soft chuckle was heard and stared up at Matthias. She frowned at him and dropped the flower. Standing she walkled a little ways away from the others with her horse and looke at it loveingly as it drank from the small stream. Leaning on the horse and took off her shoes and hitched up her dress, her feet and ankels were a light brown, like that of a wilting flower, she stepped into the stream and sighed as her body soaked up the water from the stream. She sat down and leaned back no aware of Tsubassa across watching her. "This is hopeless. All I'll ever be to him is a friend and follower...I'm so ridiculous." Her horse nuged her gently makeing her laugh lightly, it was something she did rarely and enjoyed when she did, it would not do her image justice if she was to show this part of her self to others though. She lifted on of her feet and saw that it was barely turning back into the pale skin color she was used to. "I really over did it this time didn't I?" She took a deep breath and stipped carefully, her entire body looked like it had been covered in wilting brown ribbons, she goaned and sat down fully into the water. She had never told anyone about the fact that she was indeed a plant after her transformations, without the right amount of water she wold begin to wilt and lose her strength. But her body was also human as well, so as she sat there she snakced on some fresh black berries from a near by bush givieing Tsubassa a good look into who she really was. It was no wounder Omi was so distant, she was completely difftent from the others. She frowned as Omi took a rose from her horses mane and felt a termendous surge of power as Omi transformed the whip into a deadly looking whip. "There, to replace the one I burned." She folded it up in the bank and put her head back just soaking for the time being.[/COLOR][/FONT]

[FONT=Comic Sans MS][COLOR=Navy]Clair looked on as Marri talked to her room mate, she paused at that thought and shook her head. She was about to go ask Haze what he thought about everything when the buzzer in the base started to go off. She was in complette shock and was jogged by Haze pulling her arm. "Clair, what's going on?" "I don't know, stay calm Haze." She looked up at the vid screen as what looked like a young man with blood red eyes and blue skin showed up. **We know you have the combatents, ready your selves.** The trasnmission cut off and a loud rumble was heard outside as 20 Griffin zoids droped to the ground out side on the mars base. Clair walked up to the captian and grabed the front o his uniform. "What the FUCK is going on here? I knew we had to fight but those things are the most poerful zoids out there! Are you trying to kill us?" She spun as Dash let out a blood curdleing roar and cracked the pavement as his metalic paw stamped down. Blinking she nodded and turned to Vincent giving him a look that told him play time was over. "Ground unit listen up! These Griffin are gonna be tough, Go under, take out the balancer, or the legs which ever is easiest, the air unit will get them as they slow down, we only have one chance to do this so let's do it right! This isn't our training, this is real, don't slack or goof off," here she looked at Alex, "Or you most likely will get killed. Let's go!" She grabed Haze's hand and gave it a squeeze and hopped into Dash's cockpit and in a flash was the first out on the feild, she manuvered Dash perfectly and pin pointed the Griffin's weakest point quickly. Opening the com link as the others joined her and let them know as well. "The wings! Go for the wings!" Dash reared and latched onto a wing heavily till the beat toppeled over almost instantly Haze and Endaro were ripping into it's underbelly. "Good work Haze. Ground unit listen up! Pair off and follow or lead." Dash and Endaro cleard a path, taking the Griffin's down onto their sides then tearing out the belly of the zoids, taking them out of commission but not destroying them completely. Clair suddenly remembered the name of the zoids her and her brother were ripping through, Battle Cougar. Their older brother piolited on of these brutes and she remembered that no one could beat him...so why were they so easy? She screamed as a blast shot hit her on the left, spinning dash around she gasped as the largest of the zoids looked down on her. "A Byte Griffon...I thought they were banned..." She screamed again as the beast sent a claw in her direction clipping her on the left. "Damnit! Vincent, what the hell are you all doing up there?" "We have our own problems!" Looking up she saw a horde of the Battle Cougars swarming the air unit. "Shit, this does not look good..." "Clair-" "Haze, stay back!" Hissing she plugged her MP3 player in and cranked up the volume, Rob Zombie's Dragula blareing through the coms of the other piolits, Haze stopped, this song meant she was drop dead serious...she was about to do something dangerous. "Haze, stay out of it." She punched in a code and gritted her teeth as the reserve booster pack kicked in, her speed increased to the complete 325 mph and shoved her back into the piolit seat. Dash shuddered violently and she whimpered as the force began to hit her. "Come on friend, lets do it." Dash evened out and flanked the Byte Griffon effortlessly What happened next made her nearly scream, the Byte Grffion phased behind her. "There's no way..." "Clair! Behind you!" She looked back and had ust enough time to mve Dash before a blast hit the ground, the aftershock took her off balance enough as it was, but what scared her the most was the crater that was left where she had been. 'I have to think of something.' Suddenly a baragae of shots came from above, a fleet of storm sworders swooped down upon the beast she was fighting. "Get out of here you fools!" To late, the Griffon raised up and took out a dozen or so of the zoids with a deft sweep of it's giant claw. She had to think of something and then it hit her. Alex. "Alex! I need you over here now!" "I'm busy." "NOW DAMNIT!" He led Sly next to her and she saw him glareing from his cockpit. "Yes?" "Go stealth and sneak p behind it, I'll distract it from the front so you can take it down." "Got it." "Haze, look alive, you and the other's have to attack this thing as soon as Alex takes out the balancer. You got that?" "Yep." "Good." She pushed Dash full forward and leaped onto the Griffon, hearing Haze call her name sounded far away and she held her breath knowing what was coming, the Griffon schreechd as Dash began to rip the front as bst it could until Alex was behind it. "Captian get out of there!" "Just do it!" He nodded reluctently but took out the balancer and watched as Clair went under the Griffion with Dash, landing on the ground she was nearly clear when the griffion sent out a shot catching Dash in the back and sending him flying. Clair's com link hissed at the others as they tore and fired at the Byte Griffon, her cockpit shattered and Dash smokeing as he rested against the cliff wall he was smashed head first against. Clair in the cockpit, blood seeping from under her bangs and from her side.

[FONT=Comic Sans MS][COLOR=Navy]Clair had just gotten back to the room when her alarm went off, she smiled and turned it off, 15:50, 10 minutes till training. She looked over at Vincent who was dozeing on his bed and pursed her lips. He really wasn't so bad but she still wasn't thrilled about rooming with a guy. She shrugged and began to change, him being asleep it was somewhat safer then him being gone. "Vincent, let's go!" She kicked his bed and began to head for the door, he had just enough of a chance to look up at her as she pulled her white tank top over her black bra and grab her mp3 player and series of belts before she was out the door. She hear the door a ways infront of her shut and quickened her pace having a feeling that it was Haze, as she rounded the corner she smiled, it was. "Haze, you have a nice nap?" "How'd you know?" "That's all you do." "I'm not an exercise nut like you sis." "I'm not, but if I don't do that the sheer speed of Dash would tear me apart. You know that." "I know, just giving you hell." "Watch it." He smiled and shook his head. "You know I'm not a little kid anymore." She blushed and laughed. "Guess your right. Well, meet you there." He knew what she meant as they entered the Zoid dome, she would be there before him, she always was. He heard her voice filter through the enclosure as she put the small headphones in her ears, he knew the song, it was one of her favorites, Joss Stone's 'Fell in love with a boy'. He watched as she climbed into Dash and after several moments where he knew she was connecting all her buckles and straps, she was out of the back way and soon a trail of dust heading for the base. Getting there first was no problem it was what happened after they all got there that unnerved her. She stood in the line a few minutes later as everyone stood fideling with someting as the commander walked along them, he stood infront of them and spoke. "Vira, and the eldest of the two weathers, step forward." She took a step forward with Vincent and felt her heart race. "You two are the Capitains, Weathers, your ground unit. Vira, your air unit." She choked on her breath. "What?! I'm not qualafied for that!" "Not your call Weathers." She pouted slightly as he looked them over. "Now, is your training, we will be putting you all in a arena with other zoids piolited by our best, these are professionals, do not take them lightly." Clair frowned. "We are too, most of have been doing this sort of thing since we were old enough to hold the controls." "I understand Weathers, but you are all not military trained." "Then why not send your boys in our place, this is our job, no offense but I think I speak for everyone here that we know what we're doing and can do it with our eyes shut." Most of the others nodded in agreement. "Which is why we picked you all. This is your job and you all do it very well, but my father can sometimes forget that it's what we do." "Not now Zoe." A young lady with black hair and amythest eyes walked forward. She was dressed in the womens military uniform and smiled sweetly. "My name is Zoe Trail, I'll be working with you, I piolit the Storm Sworder. I'll be rocording your work from the air today. Good luck." Her father steped forward again and cleared his throat. "We start momentarily." They all nodded and waited nervousy as they got everything ready.[/COLOR] [COLOR=DarkRed]*Alright, here we go everyone. Post about when you left the house and your feelings about your new capitains and commrade. If you want to you can post about your training session, everyone's is costumized.*[/COLOR][/FONT]

[FONT=Comic Sans MS][COLOR=Navy]Clair had finished her laps and was drying her ahir as she entered the zoids enclosuer as Alex walked up to her brother. "I'm sorry newbie where are my manner, name's Alex, what's yours newbie?" "His name is Haze, and he's my brother; and he's no newbie." Haze looked back at her and smiled. "Hey C, came to check on dash?" She smiled back and nodded. "I did, how's Endaro doing?" "He's doing good, he likes the waterfall." "Thought he might. You seen Dash?" "Not really no, did you not bring his becon?" "Haze, I haven't used that thing since I left home." As they talked Alex only stood there realizeing that he had been pushed aside. "Okay, wait a minutes, I was talking to him first here, I wanted to know about his liger." Clair looked at him. "You mean Endaro? He's based off of the original Liger Zero, but he's better, much better, I dunno all the details like Haze here;" She put her hand on his shoulder proudly; "But Haze is the only one who can piolit him. Also the only one besides our father who can work on him. That reminds me Haze, dad should be up here in the next couple of days so don't you and Endaro go getting your selfs beat up till then, got it?" He nodded and smiled at her. "You got it!" "Good, cause I can only do so much with him you know-" She paused with her mouth open as two loud shrieks were heard in the area, one she knew was Dash and the other sounded as if it might be a command wolf, but hadn't seen one of those when they left. "Dash..." She took off at a dead run leaving her towel behind and realized Alex was on her heels. "What are you so worried about?" "That was Sly." "Sly?" "My Shadow fox." "Great, a SF and a LS." "LS?" "Lightning Saix." She came up over the hill to see the two zoids rolling in the grass, neither one was hurt and they let out their cries again before tackleing each other and Clair sighed smileing. "How can you smile, they're going to rip each other apart!" "They're playing." He looked at her ready to make a remark but blinked as she put her hand on his cheek. "I'm Clair by the way," She tapped his cheek lightly, "Don't ever call my brother a newbie again, and pay closer attention." She walked away smileing[/COLOR][/FONT]

[FONT=Comic Sans MS][COLOR=Navy]Brisk felt the presence but pushed the young man she had been talking to to te side and went to her bike pack near the shack and pulled out what looked like a large backpack. She smiled and handed the entire thing to the young man that had entered last, opening it his eyes widened and he looked up at her. "Eat what you want it's not a big deal really, I can always cook somemore when we get the chance." Besides her job as an achitect cooking was the only other thing she rreally prided herself in, that and her personality. She watched as tears of gratitude formed in his ees and smiled more. His eyes got large as he dug into the various food stuffs that she had made and pack including her own sushi recipes, cake, steaks, kabobs, steam and fried vegetables, and many others. She went back to her bike and pulled off her other bike bag and brought it in, in this one were various drinks, from alchohol to koolaid. Looking at the other's she set the bag in the middle of the shack where the man sat eatting and looked around as they eyes the foods and drinks wantingly for the smell from the food was effecting them all. "Help yourselves, I didn't know how far away this place was so I packed plenty." She grabed a sandwhich and a diet pepsi jazz, carmel and cream and sat down on the old table in the corner where she was before and enjoyed her wn cooking. 'It always tastes better when there are people around to enjoy it with you.' she thought. Her smile grew as the others made their way in looking for what they wanted in the bags and all were surprised to find what they wanted.[/COLOR][/FONT]
