Akieen Cloud

[COLOR=DarkSlateBlue][FONT=Comic Sans MS]Akiko smiled as the others got their powers when a young man with large silver wings ran up to her and Orthaos. "You guys, the Twin star has been found...they're making a move. "Where are they headed?" "Tokyo Tower, the first gate." "They plan on breaking the gates to let the demons of hell through...shit." She looked up as the lasy gaurdiean gained thire power. "Alright everyone, looks like your going to be able to get a test ride after all, we head to Tokyo." she flipped open her wings and pushed them down creating a large gust of wind lifting her into the air, the others followed soon after. Orthaos flew backwards talkign tot hem as they went. "Here's your warning, these enemies care nothing about you, they see even an ounce of weakness they will kill you. Udersand?" They all nodded and followed some nervous, others confident. Jena followed Xaldin as he led the way to the first gate, his mis mathced wings carrying him faster then the others. She heard him laugh crulely. "The gaurdieans are on the way." She took a deep breath and nodded.[/COLOR] [COLOR=Red]OCC: First fight is comingup in my next post, I need garudieans to finish their power posts an the next time I post the fight will commence.[/COLOR][/FONT]

[COLOR=DarkSlateBlue][FONT=Comic Sans MS]Amelia pointed over to a small foutina nd rushed over. she lapped at her melting ice cream happily when Mark walked up beside her. "What's this?" "Wow, you really didn't get out much did you?" He frowned and blushed. "Sorry, jsut stateing. It's a wishing foutin, you drop a coin in and make a wish, if you believe in it hard enough it might come true." He raised an eyebrow and looked at the water. "Seems kinda pointless to me." She shrugged and bit the bottom of her cone off and started to suck the ice cream out the bottom. Mark blinked at her and smiled as the cone broke covering her mouth and half of her face with the sticky ice ceam. "Damnit! I could never get that right. I always bit off to much!" She stsrted to lick off what she could before looking at Mark and smileing. "Jay could do that perfectly. I never got he hang of it." She then wiped off the rest and looked at Mark who was trying not to laugh, narrowing her eyes she gave him a hug but when she did she rubbed ehr cheek against his smearing the ice cream over him as well. "Amelia..." She smiled and took off running, Mark hot on her heels. Spinning she stoped and giggled as he came up to her, his face smeared with ice cream. "You know. That's a good look for you." he walked up to her and grabbed her arm, his face grim. She bit her lip and looked around catching a glimpse of Tray, Riiko, Ashara, and chase. "Hey guys what's up? we just-" Her sentence was cut off as the rest of Mark's mint ice cream was squashed into her face. "Very funny."[/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR=DarkSlateBlue][FONT=Comic Sans MS]Amelia turned to Chase and looked at him with wide puppy dog eyes. He sighed and shook his head. "We have to head into town anyway, we're running low on supplies." Amelia punched the air happily. "Yes! I'm gonna eat ice cream till it comes out my ears!" Mark looked at her oddly. "Huh?" "You mean to tell me you don't know the pure joy of ice cream?" Ashara rolled her eyes smileing. "I know one thing, if you get your grubby hands on some ice cream, your staying out of a coffee house." Amelia stuck out her tounge and giggled, scratching the back of her neck. "Oh, come on, I'm not that bad am I?" Ashara looked at her. "Tap tap tap ring a bell?" "Oh...yeah." Scuffing the dirt with her boot she grabbed Mark's hand and smild up at him as the group began to move. After a few minutes she let go of his hand and started talking animatedly about the many diffrent falvors of ice cream. "My absolute favorite is double choclate mocha chip fugde." she heard Ashara groan in the front. "We're not going to live through this if she eats as much of that as she wants to." Chase chuckled. "She's hyper enough alone as it is." Amelia stuck out her tounge and continued talking to Mark. He could tell that she was happy, a smudge of soot on her cheek made her look cute and the soot covered apron still hung off he hips. She smiled up at him and got infrnt of him walking backwards. "Are you always like this?" "After I smith? Yeah. It makes me happy. I love the feeling I get being able to make something like that with my hands, not only that it reminds me of all the fun me and Jay had together having soot foghts." "Who?" "My older brother. Jay, he's the one that taught me." she moved back to his side and slid her hand into his, her smile still in place.[/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR=DarkSlateBlue][FONT=Comic Sans MS]Amelia giggled and bit her bottom lip smileing. "Okay!" Suddenly she was gone. "Hey! Where are you going?" He slumped into a sitting postion on a rock but heard an unfamiliar sound and looked up as the moon light was blocked by the two pieces of Ject's axe. Amelia rideing ontop of them. "Look out below!" He jumped out of the way and looked at her stunnded. "W-what are you doing?" "Making you a new pair of axes you wanted." She gave him a wink and ran over to her bed roll that Tray had brought up with him, pulling out what looked like a tie-dye clothe she drapped it over her clothe and went back to the large axe. "Garret, can you break these both in half?" Mark looked at her in shock. "Half? Why?" "To big, I can't work with them like this." He could only watch as she showed Garret where to break them and smiled as he did. "Now can you do me another favor, if you have the energy that is, can you make me an earth oven?" He nodded and made one that come up to her waist. "Great." She picked up a piece of the large battle axe and began to work with it, the small hammer that she pulled from her roll as well in her hand, she put the top of it onto the base and swung it harshylhearing the sound of the resonateing blade she smiled up at him. "It's still in good shape!" She beckoned over Chase and had him fill the oven with flames. "This won't take long, promise." He nodded, she then requested the help of Oko who also nodded and came over, they all watched as she began the art of heating and pounding the metal into 4 fine axes for Mark. Smileing the entire time. It was well shown that she loved working like this. And didn't mind it either.[/FONT][/COLOR]

Okay, the person that I met that kinda weirded me out was a guy that I got to know really well. We met out freshmen year of hughschool he had just moved there and his fiance had just broken up with him so he was kinda egdey. He put on this big tough guy front so no one would bully him or mess with him for that matter and we spoke for a little bit but mostly we fought. Our spohmore year I got to know him better and he turned out to be a great guy just misunderstood. Inventually actually began to date him and we got to be really very close, that was going on 4 years now and we're happily married and have a 14 month old son. People here know him as Knuckles. :animesmil

[COLOR=DarkSlateBlue][FONT=Comic Sans MS]Amelia smiled and spun her Sawllow flipping the last cover off and smiled more before her face went serious and she took two steps back makeing Mark look at her quizaclly. She winked at him and then suddenly rushed forward with a blast of wind catching him off gaurd but not enough and growled softly as his axes blocked her Swallow. She spun to her right and saw the flint of his axes comeing up again and smiled, ducking low she went for his legs and tripped him blinking as he was up just as fast as he had gone down. She frowned as she heard a light zap and smiled as she realized her was keeping up with her. "What do you say we stop playing around?" "My thoughts exactly." "Good." She jumped back and spun around once creating a tornado around her, he could hear her chuckle through the wind and kept a close eye waiting for her move. she watched him as well, and noticed with satisfaction that he was following her very well. She let the tornado push her forward and lanched at him meeting his axes with the middle wood of her swallow and smiled as he was pushed back a good foot. She then spun her swallow as his axes were caught in either side sending one flying from his grip. He looked at her and then at the axe and with his speed dove for it, hearing her tightly on his heels. She tried to backpeddle as he reached the axe but he was just a fast as her and was sending a swift axe blow upward knocking her swallow out of her hands, she cursed loudly and settled her weight on her back foot and went into a defensive crouch. "You know your going to loose right? Your swallow is all the way over there." "Don't undersestimate me Mark." Charging at him with much speed she covered her arms in a strong wind and blocked his axe as it came down on her, he blinked and sputtered as she punched him int he chest sending him flying onto his back. She looked at her arms and smiled. "That's new." She again settled her weight on her heels and waited for him to rise and make a move.[/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR=DarkSlateBlue][FONT=Comic Sans MS]Amelia had gone back with Ashar and Mark but had stayed with the others and was talking with Riiko nd Tray when the fireball exploded in the night sky. "I'll bet that means trouble." She looked over at Oko and Garret who looked up from the book they were talking about and nodded. Amelia was the first up, she looked back at the others knowing she would get the first. "You guys, be careful." Tray looked at her. "You too, see you at the top." Nodding she took off and soon skidded into the hall where Mark stood infront of what she thought was a giant. "Holy shit! where the hell did that thing come from?" Ject looked at her. "What are you calling a thing?" She rolled to the side a bolts hit the ground where she was standing a moment earlier. Looking over at Chase and Ashara she hopped over to them quickly and looked down at Chase, he was pale and passed out. "Tell me something, is that going to happen to all of us, and is Mark going to be okay?" Ashara looked up at her. "Are the others on the way?" She nodded and looked up as Mark just watched Ject. "Mark! Becareful!" He nodded and pulled out his axes. "Is he going to be okay?" "We'll have to wait and see. I know he's going to need out help." Amelia unclipped her swallow and had it ready in a matter of seconds, ready to lend a hand if needed.[/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR=DarkSlateBlue][FONT=Comic Sans MS]As Amelia and Oko headed back to camp, talking excitedly about all the variations of cyclones and other power mixes they has managed Amelia heard a faint voice ont he wind and looked twoards the east, see schorch marks on the ground she sighed. [I]'Mark'[/I] She told Oko to go without her and folowed the marks for anearly and hour till she found him neara small stream, she sighed as she saw the cuts on his arm. walking up beside him she took a cover off her swallow and dunked it in the water and then put in on his armcleaning the cuts. "What do you want?" "Thought you could use the company." "I hurt you." "You know what they say, forgive and forget." He looked at her and saw her looking up at the stars. "Why would you want to help me?" "I told you, I like you." "Yet you yell at me." "And I'm sorry for it, it's called a temper, you have one too if you haven't noticed." She looked at him and smiled making him frown. "It was a joke." She rolled her eyes and rised the clothe putting it back. "You know, there is no sense in this." She pointed to his arm. "You feel like you have to hurt your self for hurting others when a simple apology does the job just as well." She looked at him, but her look was not what he was expecting, he thought he would see hate there, but all he saw was undersanding, and kindness.[/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR=DarkSlateBlue][FONT=Comic Sans MS]Amelia and Ashara walked alnong the edge of the meadow for a while when Ashara brought up a question that she knew she was in for. "For a while I thought you liked Tray." "I do, just no that way, I look at him as a big brother...it's a feeling that I've missed. Security." She looked up at her and smiled. "Silly I know." "Not at all. I understand." "What about you and Chase, you two seem to be comfy." "We won't get into my personal life. Alright?" "Blah blah blah." As they walked back into camp Amelia noticed that Oko was no where to be seen and neither was Mark, but Garret was under a tree his nose pressed in a book. She took a deep breath and looked back at the meadow. "I'll be back..." "Amelia, you remember what I said about staying out of it?" "Yeah yeah yeah." "I'm serious." She turned around a goofy look on her face a saluted. "Yes sir!" Shakeing her head she continued on towards the stream. Getting there she saw Mark leaning in to Oko, Oko was to busy thinking to notice when he kissed her. Amelia closed her eyes and sawllows the lump in her throat. When she opened her eyes she saw makr kissing Oko, but something was wrong, Oko had a look of pure terror on her face, frowning Ameloia did a quick look over the scene and notcied his flaw, Oko's feet were still in the stream. "Let go of her you moron!" Amelia rushed forward and pushed him away catching Oko as she slumped into her. "Oko, I'm so sorry for earlier...that wasn't like me...I mean I know I'm childish but, that was just wrong." Oko nodded, not able to say anything. Mark looked at her with an intent to kill. "Don't gimme that look, you claim to love her? Then next time, look around and make sure it's safe!" She pointed to Oko's feet still in the water. "You could have killed her. Lighting and Water don't mix." He looked at them before standing and walking away. Amelia looked at Oko as she sat up. "I'm really sorry..." "It's okay. Thank you." "Are you okay?" "I will be once I get my thought together." "Yeah, I didn't help much...Just made it harder for you. I didn't mean it, I should have yelled at him." Oko giggled and looked at her. "You already have." Amelia smiled and nodded. "Yeah, your right." She chucklec and leaned back onto her hands when Oko looked at her. "Do yiou still have any-" Amelia pressed a large piece of the sweet chocolate into her hand. "Yeah." She watched as Oko began to nibble on it lightly and smiled, she looked around on the ground and found a small leaf that looked an arrow. "Here try it with this, lemon weed. It's really good, not only that the lemon weed give you energy." "Is that why your so hyped all the time?" Amelia blinked and looked at Oko in shock." "I'm sorry I just-" "Whoa! That was really good!" Oko smiled and laughed as Amelia began to tease her about being a smart ass on the inside. Oko decided she was much better company then two love driven boys anyday. "So what are you powers?" "Wind, your water right?" "Yes." "Your have that air about you." "What do you mean?" Amelia looked at her, her face serious. 'Our elements are things that are taken for granted all the time, they always think of water as a nice little puddle, or even a calm pond or lake, but they never look into floods, or tsunamis, cyclones and tidle waves. They think that you need to be babied and protected when in reality, you have the surprise factor, same with me. People hear 'wind' and automaticly think of a nice gentle breeze, or something like that, but then you have tornados and hurricanes, you get it?" "I think so." "We are underestimated by say, people who have powers that show their damage worth all the time, fire, lighting, earth. But when we get mad enough, we really come through." She held out her palm and smiled as a mini twister formed there. "I'm still learning, but I hope that when the time comes, I can be of help. I'm not really skilled with my power like all of you, but I am really good with this." She pulled the Swallow off her back and showed it to Oko. "It's beautiful." "My brother made it for me, he was a blacksmith but he died when I was really young. The markings on it are what he started, if you look carefully you can see the twisters and leaves. I finished it as I got older." "You taught Mark." "Yes and no, I taught him the proper way to do it, not the way he did it, what he did was dangerous for you, it could have held that current, not only that, he was super heating the blade and it could have shattered." Oko blinked. "You know alot." "I studied under Jay before he died, then I read alot as I grew up." "So does that mean you know about who your reincarnated of?" "Alittle, but only of Lia. I know she was extremly fair in her way twords others, and her beauty was great as well." She pulled a piece of hair over her shoulder. "The only thing that I'm like her at all is that I'm a fair person." "Your pretty too Amelia." "Not like you and the others. You guys attract men like moths to flames. I run them off." "Not true, your friends with Tray aren't you?" She nodded as she dipped the mini twister into the stream creating a mini cyclone. "Hey, I have an idea to get both of our minds off of the fellas for a while." Oko looked at her bewildered. "Let's see how out powers work together." She held up the small Cyclone for Oko to see and saw her eyes light up, she nodded enthusiasticly.[/FONT][/COLOR]

Okay, I dunno if I have done this one in the past or if someone else has but I was just sitting here eatting a bag of popcorn woundering what diffrent variations people have for eatting it. Me, I like hot stuff so my favorite seasoning for my popcprn is salt, black peper, and chili powder, problem is it doesn't always get to the bottome of the bag so not all the popcorn in covered. I have heard of many things from friends, like Mayonaise, Mustard, even pickle juice... :blulaugh: I tried it, man I didn't think I would eat popcorn again. I've also heard of unsalted popcorn in milk as breakfast. :therock: I'd like to know what diffrent ways, or not so diffrent ways people here eat popcorn, what you all put on it, or what you eat with it.

[COLOR=RoyalBlue][FONT=Comic Sans MS]Tray and Riiko looked up as they heard the sounds of fake vomiting and saw that it was Amelina. "Get a room." Tray laughed and pointed behind her. "Mark is comeing." Amelia tensed up and took a deep breath turning around she saw that indeed he was. He met her eyes and frowned slightly as her face turned a light red. She looked down at the ground as he walked past her. She heaved a sigh and sat down beside Tray, they had become pretty good friends in the short time of being together. "Why not go and talk him Amela?" "Not like he'll listen, he's to fixated on Oko to even notice I'm alive." She put her backagainst his shoulder in an almost sister like fashion which didn't bother Tray, he knew that she missed her brother and he was acting as somewhat of an older brother figure to her. "You can try." "What good will that do? Just prove I stand no chance." She felt him shake his head. "Go and talk to him girl." She sighed and stood walking over to where Mark sat polishing his axes, waiting for Oko and Garret to finish their talk. "H-Hey." "Can I help you?" "Just wanted to, um...talk that's all." Mark looked up curious, it was strange that Amelia was at a loss for words, she was the most talkitive one amoung them, he frowned as he saw her cheeks brighten under his gaze and noticed her hands figedting with each other. "Is something the matter?" She looked down at him, a look of insult on her face. "Are you that obsessed with Oko? That you can't see that I'm right here trying to get to know you?" He acrched an eyebrow at he and blinked as she huffed loudly. "Blind ass electrical jerk!" He blinked more as a hard blast of wind hit him in the chest sending him spraling onto his back. "I hope you freakin grow up one day Mark! When you do, come talk to me!" "I'm not the one throwing a temper tantrum over nothing." She looked back at him as he dusted himself off. "Nothing? Did you say nothing?" "That's right." She growled under her breath and hit him with another blast of wind. "I like you! Okay? Is that better? I freakin like you and your to damnit obsessed with someone who is love with another guy!" "I can make her love me!" "Why? Why try and make a person love you when you have someone infront of you who like you for you?" Before he could answer she strode forward and kissed him, before he could react she was gone in a light rush of wind towards the medow, getting there she was a ways away from the stream and hit her knees out of breath. Looking up at the stars she saw one blinking brightly. "Jay...what am I goning to do? I find these people with the promise of not being alone anymore, and the one person that I hope knows how I feel...doesn't even care that I'm alive..." She sat back and continued to have a one sided conversation with her brother.[/FONT][/COLOR]

[FONT=Comic Sans MS]Jena shook her head and looked up at the ones who were there, she was pleased and at the same time annoyed that so few had shown. She let out a sigh and resinged to the fact that she would have to join in the Fray as well as Michael. "First matter of bussiness, your here for the take over and destruction of the people of earth so we can have an actual home." She looked up as there was a light knock on the door and watched as a thing yound man entered nervously. "The Other has been located and brought in." "Good, send him in." He nodded and dissappered in his place a tall young man walked in, his eyes a deep dark brown, black hair pulled back into a loose ponytail, his skin lightly tanned and his body was lean and in shape. Sprouting from his back was the signature mark of the Saviors twin star, one black and one white wing. "What do you want?" Jena felt a shiver of fear run through her and shook it off. "You are here to lead up into the heart of the matter and defeat the gaurdieans and take over the earth." "And if I say no?" Jean stood up, her face flushed "It is your duty!" He scoffed and reached down petting the small three headed dog that ley by the door. "Cereberus' offspring, interesting. You have powerful allies. Fine, I'll join." He sat down looking up at the others as if dareing them to question his motives. Jena sighed. "This is Xaldin, he will be our secret weapon. He is the Savior's twin star, where she stands for life he stands for death. we will await orders from the high council." [COLOR=RoyalBlue]Akiko pushed Ashen into the room with Aruta, Kite, and Axel hopping to get them talking. She sighed as nothing happened, she was glad when the others came from the room and were all waiting on her. "Alright, now for the final few steps, you wll all be given a seal on your left hand, through this seal you will be able to call upon your own power to aid the Savior. After this, we head to earth to locate the Savior and begin our duties." Aruta looked up at her and asked a good question. "Who gets what power?" Akiko smiled and suddenly turned into a large white tiger and then back again. "You get powers according to the crystal, that is in the courtyard in the back, where we're going next." A solid wall of rock fell down infront of her. "Yes Orthaos?" "Aren't you forgetting something?" "We have time for training Orthaos, the Black Hearts have already found her Twin Star, we are running out of time." He nodded and walked to the front. "The crystal decides the power you have and the limit of it's uses. Like me you will be ablet o shape shift, but only inot animals, the limit to that gift is people. Your power is based off your personality, as well as your symbol. She held out her left hand and showed an intracit symbol and smiled. "It is the anceint sign for Friendship. My power is Water, Orthaos is Rock, he is sterdy and hard as such." Everyone nodded in understanding, they followed Orthaos into the courtyard and to a large purple crystal.[/COLOR] [COLOR=Red][B]OCC: Alright everyone, this is how this works, Black Hearts we have range over all the elements for fact we can't shape shift. We make up for it in strength and power. Gaurdieans: PM me with the power you want, as long as it isnt to GODLY I'll accept it, no transfroming into demons or anything like that. You have, Ice, earth, Wood, Fire, Metal, Lighting, Wind and so on. I have diecided not to limit one person to one element, just not everyone pick the same thing. :animesmil Me- Water Sloth Girl and Konske- Wind Wings of Death- Darkness Sazabi- Pending NPC(Orthaos)- Rock Everyone just keep PMing me and I'll put it up here. As I PM back, you can post ion how the crystal gives you your power. Thanks.[/B] [/COLOR] [/FONT]

[COLOR=RoyalBlue][FONT=Comic Sans MS]When the last four of them arrived they hearda odd tapping sound followed by Ashara groaing and asking for a person to stop, Oko giggled guessing it was Amelia. Coming over the hill they saw Amelia sitting by a large rock and tapping it rythmicly with two sticks, it seemed that she had been at this for some time because it was getting Ashara. "Amelia, will you knock it of, that's getting annoying." 'Tap tap tap tap tap tap tap.' "Amelia, I'm warning you." 'Taptap tap tap taptap.' "One more time and I'll be on your ass." 'Taptaptaptaptaptaptaptaptaptaptaptaptaptaptaptaptaptaptap.' "That's it!" they watching with amusement as Ashara stood up and charged at Amelia who simply sqealed in delight at having something to do and lept onto a large bolder. "Get down her you little imp!" "You said you were bored!" "That doesn't mean I want to be aggravated!" "Yeah, but your not bored no more are you?" Ashara stopped for a moment and smiled faintliy and began to shake her head, Amelia let out a gleeful chuckle and slid down the side of the rock only to be caught around the neck and held in a head lock. "Next time you'll listen!" Anyone could see that there was no harm intended but Amelia still screamed playfully. "Uncle uncle!" "I don't have one." Amelia smiled as Ashara pushed her away softly and looked up as the others walked into the small area. Amelia ran forward arms open and rushed at Garret. "Your back!" She ran past him and hugged herself as he side stepped and looked back at her smileing despite him self. "Well fine then. Mark will gimme a hug right?" Advanceing on Mark he began to back away a look of almost terror on his face. "No, no, no, back off Amelia." Amelia slumped her shoulders and pouted. "No one will gimme a hug." Oko jogged forward and hugged her quickly, Amelia smiled brightly. "Yay, I gotta hug!" She hopped in place and then made a long jump back onto the bolder her face suddenly serious. "So what now Cap'n." She was serious but she still kept things light as her hand closed around ehr Swallow. Everyone else looked at Chase waiting for the next step, Amelia rocking from side to side in anticipation to show what she was really made of.[/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR=Green][SIZE=2][FONT=Comic Sans MS]Amelia was sharpening her Swallow and polishing it as she egan to get ready for what ever lay ahead, she heard a small sigh and looked up as Oko walked by following close to Chase and biteing ehr nail. she chuckled and walked up to her putting her hand on Oko's shouldershe smiled as Oko looked up at her. "Just calm down, things will work out. Don't think about it right now, concentrate on what we have to do here and then when things settle down see where you go." "I don't-" "Look, don't think, just walk, see where you end up." "It's not that easy...they fight over me." "Because they're being childinsh." She pushed Oko's nail out of her mouth and handed a piece of coaco. "Here, I'm sure this will taste better." she nodded and began to nibble to piece of Chocolate nervously. "Look, I know what your feeling, I'm kinda going through it as well. It's not easy to deal with I know. But you have to just let your heart take you where ever it wants you to be. If you listen to your brain to much it gets in the way of you being happy. If you let yourheart make ithe desicion, you'll be happy. You get it?" "I think so...basicly just not think about it and in the end where ever I end up is where I'm supposed to be?" "Yup, wehter it's Mark, Garret, or hell, who knows, some one else. You have to let things like this just flow and work them selves out." "What if they fight again?" "Boys will be boys, if they fight ti jsut proves that they really don't care what you think, and they think of you as property and not a person." She looked back at the boys in question and saw them both frowning at her, Chase looked back and smiled. Amelia got an idea and handed Oko another piece of coaco and then walked up to Chase. "Hey, can I ask you something." "Sure." "Can I ask to go with Oko, it looks like she needs some one to talk to." Chase shook his head. "I've paired everyone up the way I want you guys to be, the person your with is the person you have talked to the least since we statred." Amelia nodded and looked back at Ashara. "She won't eat me will she?" Ashara looked up bewildered and blinked making Amelia laugh. "I'm just kidding, sheesh. So tense around here." Mark walked up and hit his shoulder to her's. "Because we're doing something important and your taking it like a joke." "Your one to talk buddy. I'm not the one being an immature brat." She saw his hand tighten on one of his axes and smiled, only this smile was a wicked one, something that none of them has seen since they has all met her. "Go ahead. I'm not afraid of you Mark." Her hair began to blow around her as the wind picked up and before they could say something else Chase pushed Mark back in the back to stand beside Garret, he turned to her. "Do you always have to bait people?" "He needs to learn to grow up. Oko is a good person and neither one fo them have to right to treat her like they have been, like she's a thing and not a person. It pisses me off Chase." "I understand, but we have more important things to do. Got it?" taking a deep breath she nodded and leaned on a tree next to Ashara, she looked down as the girl spoke. "Your a fair person, that's pretty rare anymore." "My brother always told me to treat people fairly and with kindness." "He sounds smart." Amelia nodded and looked away, her smile gone as she watched Garret and Mark bicker and watched Oko worry herself into a frenzy. [I]'What's the point in being the chipper one when everyone has social issues?'[/I] A familiar voice filled her mind and made her smile softly. [I]'It's who you are, and who you were made to be. You make them laugh and make them comfortable in situations where they would become and hurt each other.'[/I]She sighed as her brother's voice faded away and looked up catching Tray's eyes, she gave him a smile and a thumbs up going back into her normal character set.

[COLOR=RoyalBlue][SIZE=2][FONT=Comic Sans MS]Gea was leaning aginst the back wall of the tower listening to teh commotion outside, she looked up as the windows shattered and transformed. "So, this is how you want to do things? Let's go." She leaped from rafter to rafter till she was just above one of the angles and launched off and onto his back, she sank her fangs into one of the angels wings and growled as the other beat against her back. She often wounderd why she carried the sword and bow, even though she could use both very well she perfered hand to hand. Only in tight spots did she use her weapons. She felt the ground hit the underside of the angel and heard the breaking of bones and the sickening squish of flesh as more of them swormed over the building. "We have to get the fuck out of here! We don't stand a chance." Drake looked back seeing the spot where she was hit earlier redden from the pressure she was putting on it. "Drakken, you know if we stay here we'll die." "It's where we're meeting the other." "If it's not here by now, it's not coming!" "You don't know that." She yelped as a blade shot across her back, growling she spun around and decapitated the angel with a quick flick of her hand. "Drake, got the love of the mother, look around you. We're surrounded." "We can pull it off." She let her anger at him rule over her fighting and pressed on. "Fine." Ripping open one angel's throat she continued her rampage and soon let it turn to another blood lust as she slowly lost control of her innner demon.[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=RoyalBlue][SIZE=2][FONT=Comic Sans MS]Amelia looked up as they continued walking down the small road, she was bored and it showed. Whistleing here and there she kicked stones and sticks and looked up seeing Mark and Oko. she scoffed and kicked a well aimed pebble at his head. He looked back at her, his face red as Oko talk to him. She pointed at her eyes then his telling him to stay foucused while she talked to him and sighed. [I]'So much for a relationship. Tray and that one girl obviously hit it off pretty well and Mark is so obsessed with Oko I might as well be invisible.'[/I] she blushed slightly as she realized that she did have a sort of crush on Mark, thinking back to what she had told him, about knowing how he felt..it was not one of the group that she had been talking about, but her brother. He had died when she was very young, gone to a place she could never follow him in her life till she died. she heaved a giant sigh and walked past Mark and Oko, wipeing her eyes so no one would see the tears forming there. she had always wanted to go back to the time that she could be with him, he was her hero. Her only family and he had left her alone. Thumbing the scar on her wrist she remember that night all to well; the nightmare, the pain and fear...the guilt. She had dreamed of her brother, that he was unhappy with out here...she had tried to rejoin him but cutting her wrists, it was a mistake on her part greatly. She had felt badly for it all her life and now carried the scars of it as well. Looking up she sent up a slient prayer that she would no longer be alone in the world as she had this group of people to keep her company. Looking down she realized that she had fallen behind and blinked, was she that caught up in things, in her own thoughts that she now brought up the rear? She set off at a jog thinking that the last thing she recalled was walking ahead of Mark and Oko. She found herself beside Garret and looked up at him, his face was so full of hurt and pain. She reached in her small bag on her hip and pulled out a small dark bar of what looked like soap. She broke a piece with a resounding crack and pushed it into Garret's hand. "Cocoa, it's good for the soul. It's home made, the nune made it for me before I left the orphanage." she broke a small bite off for herself and began to suck on the tip of it childlike. A small smile of gratafication and pure glee came over her face. She looked up and noticed that he had not touched it. "Go ahead, it's not poisioned and it's certainly not going to kill you." He nodded slowly and took a light nibble, she saw his eyes widen a fraction. "Good right?" He nodded and nibbled it more. "Like I said, Cocoa, it's good for the soul." She walked beside him, seeing they could both use the company as they nibbled on the chunks of cocoa she had gotten them.[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=RoyalBlue][SIZE=2][FONT=Comic Sans MS]Amelia walked into the camp, her face set in a determined look as she walked up to Mark. "What was that all about?! Running off like that during that storm! You scared the crap out of me!" He blinked at her as she spun on her heel and stalked away lifting a hand as she walked. "Glad you made it back to your obsession in time though." she walked up to Tray and leaned into him putting her elbow on his shoulder and looking out at the others. "Jealous much?" "Jealous? No, worried is more like it." "Worried?" "I worry about my friends and commrades." "You hardly know of us here." "Doesn't matter, he ran off like that and it scared me, I went looking for him but never found him, I thought something bad had happened-" She stopped mid-sentence as she saw Oko's blade, she flug off her Swallow and the covers and looked at her blades as well and saw almost the same design, she had ust finished it on her own the month before she met all these people. She huffed a tempered sigh and walked past Mark grabbing his arm,ignoring the static. Once she had him a good ways away from overhearing ears and turned on him. "Look, I don't mind you taking credit for what I taught you, but doing it that way and making a girl like you right infront of the guy that likes her and she [I]CHOSE[/I] over you is wrong and you know it." "What would you know, you don't know what it's like watching something you desire slipping away from you!" She reared back and punched him sending him onto his butt. "Don't tell me what I know and don't know! I would know better than anyone what it's like watching a dream or someone you want to be with slipping out of your reach, going where you can't follow!" He looked up at her after rubbing his jaw and blinked as he saw a few tears trainling down her cheeks. "I know what it's like. But trying to make a person choose you by doing something like that is wrong. You should be open with her, not jealous and vengful. Get to know them, spend some time talking to them. You never know, maybe if she saw the side of you, that you let me see, she'll like you and not him. Stop being a jerk and be a man." She saw that this comment struck a chord and saw the flash of his axe as it came down ontop of her, he blinked in surprise as her Swallow blocked his with a speed he'd only seen from a tornado. she spun the weapon throwing him back and then began to switch it from hand to hand, each time she switched a gale of wind would assault him. "Back off Mark. Back off of Oko and let her come to you, back off of Garret, and back off of this tough guy act you have, it doesn't suit you at all." She threw her hand out as if swipeing something away and he felt his bangs pushed back by a soft wind that felt like her hand. "Your not that guy, I saw it once when you came to me for your weapon." she walked over to him and held out a hand to help him up, when he looked away she shrugged. "Have it your way then. But you should know that people do care." She bent down and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek and walked away. Reaching camp she sat down on her bed rool and put her face in her hands, looking up as Tray stood infront of her. "Didn't go well?" She shook her head and put her back to him and blinked as he sat down putting his back against her's. She took the compny for what it was and leaned back resting her head on his shoulder. "I just wish that sometimes I weren't so nice." "That's what makes you, you." She nodded and relaxed and soon was dozeing.[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=RoyalBlue][SIZE=2][FONT=Comic Sans MS]Akiko smiled and nodded back at his wings. "Cool wings." She extended one of her own leatheay black wing and showed him, she moved it slightly and smiled as the light changed the color on the inside of them. "Your wings don't reflect who you are, they're just a color, everyone's are diffrent. that's just the way it happens." She smiled at him and looked up at the sky as well. "They're bright tonight, it'll make things easy then." she put a hand on his shoulder and smiled as he looked away. "Trust people, they'll help you." [CENTER]BLACK HEARTS CAVREN[/CENTER] Jena was looking over her papers when the door came open. "They are here." "Send them in. Has the capitain been made?" "Yes." "Good, then send them in immediatly, we have to get started, has the other neen located?" "We are working on it." "the SAvior has already been found and introduced to her gaurdieans. I want the other!" The young man jumped and nodded as the group of Black Hearts came through the door. "Who is Capitain?" A young women stepped forward. Nodding Jena got down to bussiness explaining things.[/SIZE][/COLOR] [B][SIZE=3]NOTES: Black Hearts, your going to be doing the same thing the Gaurdieans are doing now, getting weapons and wings. Not only that you'll be breifed on your first mission which will be in my next post.[/FONT][/SIZE][/B]

[COLOR=RoyalBlue][SIZE=2][FONT=Comic Sans MS]Amelia prance from one foor to the next as Chase calculated how much more time it was going to take. "Could you stop that? I can't concentrate." "I can't stand still for to long unless I'm eatting batheing, useing the bathroom, alseep or dead." "And which of those do you want to be?" she blinked and chuckled. "I suppose I'll go for a run then." "Don't to far." "Please, even if I do, I'll catch up soon." With that she jogged over to where her stuff sat between Mark's and Tray's and picked up her swallow and the samll pouch that held her equipment. Looking over at Mark she smiled and held out her hand to him. "Wann join?" He looked up at her oddly and nodded slowly." "Awsome, bring your axes, I'll show you what I can. Just try to keep up." With that she was gone leaveing behind a small trail to follow. He found her at a small stream that ran between a few big oak trees, she had her legs crossed and her Swallow in her lap, a clothe moving over the baldes with gelntle stroke, almost as if she were handleing a child. She held up one finger as he walked up and looked up at him smileing. "Shh, just listen to everything around you. It's peaceful." "Why did you befriend me when no one else has?" "Everyone needs a friend, I mean everyone else around here seems to have picked who they're like the most, you and me got left out, that should tell you something." "You chose me as a last resort?" "No, we were meant to travel together, meant to be friends. My brother died, so I've been alone alot of my life, except for the time I spent in the orphanage, and you look like you've been alone for a while too. Seems only right we should get along." she handed him a clothe and patted the ground next to her, he sat down hesatantly and she nodded to his axes. "Polish them, to keep a blade in good shape you have to take good care of it." she looked down at him and gasped. "Not that hard, you see, weapons have lives just as we do, you have to trust them and they have to know that they can trust you." "A waepon is a weapon." "Will you just trust me here?" She placed her hand over his and giggled as some static went through her. "My what a shocking personality you have." She smiled as he jsut shook his head. "Now you have to be easy, polishing them to rough like that will make the blade dull, you have to just lightly run the clothe over it, like this." She leaned in and moved his hand with the clothe under it oer the balde of one of his axes. "See, it looks better already." She looked up as he agreed with her, but saw he was looking at her and not the blade. Blushign she went back to polishing her own blade, graoning in dismay as she found a small spoy on the blade she was looking at.[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=RoyalBlue][SIZE=2][FONT=Comic Sans MS]Amelia stood and streched, noticeing that it was just almost down, a voice thick with sleep reached her ears. "Don't you sleep in?" She chuckled as Tray looked at her from under his blanket. "Hardly." She bent down and picked up her Swallow, clipping it to her back, the baldes covered by thick leather she looked down at him and knelt down brushing a thick piece of hair from his eyes. "Your hair's a mess." She smiled as he blinked up at her. "I'm gonna go for a run and some practice. I'll be back soon." She gave him a winka nd then was off in a dahs of dirt as she lept up intot he trees and before she knew it she landed in a clear opening. She sighed and looked up at the sky. "Two minutes, not bad. I'm getting better." She built a small fire and was about to get busy when she cringed, a strong copper smell overwhelming her. she looked around and then slipped, looking down she held back the vomit as a man lay in the bushes, his head split by what looked like an axe. She looked for a moment beofre she remembered the young man with the axes that had joined them on the moutian. she continued on till she heard a twig snap and had just enough time to throw her self on the ground before an axe hit the tree behind her. "Watch it jackass!" "Have you followed me? Are in line with Garret?" "Who? Oh you mean the earth dude? No! I just came out here for a run and some practice!" "What makes you think I can trust you?" "Nothing, you don't even know me." She noticed he paused for a moment, she was being honest afterall. "Look I'll just go." "My anger still wants to be reconsiled." "That's nice, I just wanna go practice." She watched as Mark came from the shadows. "Hey there Sparky." She smiled as he frowned, reaching for his other axe she spun the Swallow from her back making the coves fly off as well. "I may be younger then you, but I should not be underestamated." She gave him a hard look and saw that he backed off alittle. It was the same look that Oko had given him as she had stood infront of Garret. "I'll face you another day." She straightend and stuck a blade of the weapon in the dirt. "Have it your way." As he walked away he could hear her wail of dismay as she sat down quickly and began to polish the blade that had been in the dirt with obsession to a point of insanity. She sat there watching him go and shrugged, she felt bad for the guy and realized for a moment that he had left his other axe stuck in the tree behind her. She stood and put the covers back on her Swallow and clipped it to her back and looked at the blade, it was knicked and dull, poorly sharpened. "This poor thing, it's so sad..." She sat downa dn pulled a small pouch from her pocket and began to work on the blade carefully, making it shine like new and making the balde as sharp as a razor. Running her finger over the blade she hissed as it sliced her finger open and smiled in satisfaction. Catching up with him was no problem, she dropped down in front of him and blocked his other axe with his own makng him look at her shocked. "You left this." He looked at it and then her. "What did you do to it?" "It's called fixing it, you should learn it, it helps the blade, not only that, makes you trust your weapon better." She put her hand on his shoulder and gave him a quick hug, whispering in his ear as she went. "Not everyone is out to get you ya know. Maybe you should make a friend, it might make things easier." As he threw his arm around to swipe at her she was gone, a dust trail left as she put her feet to the wind and was on her way back to camp. Getting there she saw that Tray was getting up and trying to his hair back into the loose pony tail it was in the day before. She threw him a brush smileing. "Use this." She stood and walked back to the river from the night before and sighed. "I'm not expecting love out of this journey, I guess that makes me sad. I have been alone almost all my life...but I suppose a few friends are better then nothing." she gave a quick sigh, got a drinkand refilled her water skin and headed back to camp.[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[SIZE=2][COLOR=RoyalBlue][FONT=Comic Sans MS]Akiko walked up to the counter and leaned on it smileing. "Hiya Joe." "Well hey there Akiko. How are you?" "Doing good, I think I'll take the usual this time as always." "You sure, they're makeing them heavier." "Good, what's on the menu tonight?' The back left wall swung around showing a beautiful selection of giant Scyths some that were black, red and one particualr one that cought her eyes. "I think I'll take the Backbone tonight Joe." "Alrighty then." He pulled the scyth off the wall that was shaped like a large spinal chord. "Busy night tonight?" "Yeah" "Good luck." "Thanks, Alright everyone, as you can see there is a large selection here, every mission you will be able to choose a diffrent weapon, but the weapon of your choice is what you are limited to, if you chose a sword as I see some of you have, you are limited to swords. Understand?" They nodded and she waited outside for them to finish.[/FONT][/COLOR][/SIZE]

[COLOR=RoyalBlue][SIZE=2][FONT=Comic Sans MS]Gea shrugged and sat down below him and looked up at him. "Enjoying the veiw?" "This has always been my home away from home, I like it here." She smiled and nodded. "I think we all do. I know I do." She blushed as she saw him look down at her and smile. "I see." 'Not that way Drake, gosh, men always such egos." 'I think that's exactly what you meant Gea." "What makes you so sure?" "You usually never blush." she made a move to play slap himand gasped as he caught her wrist and put his other hand on her cheek. "I like it here too." "Your creeping me out here Drake. You're usually the together one and here you are...not you." She watched as he blinked and let her go. "Your right. I need to compose myself, we have more important things to deal with." she felt her throat tighten and nodded as he headed back down. "Hey Drake?" "Yeah?" "Do you really like it here?" He smiled slightly and nodded, then continued back down the tower. She crouched down on the tip of the tower and watched the humans down below, woundering how many of them had made a contract with her master. She blinked as Drake's face with that smile falshed through her mind. Biteing her lip she smiled as she blushed as she realized there might be a chance after all, but at the moment there were more important things in mind, she looked down and out across the city and blinked as she saw shadows riseing from the eastren part of the city and head for the tower. "Fuck. We're in trouble." Heading back down she felt the pain as a holy arrow pierced her shoulder. she screamed in agony as it burned through her clothes and down to her bare flesh . she screamed out in pain and launched off the tower landing on the angels back, but gasped as it was called back and dissappered out from under her. She fell quickly and landed with a heavy thud and a high scream beside drake on the ground.[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=RoyalBlue][SIZE=2][FONT=Comic Sans MS]Gea smiled down at Michael and drug her claws against the wall watching as they grew sharper and then put the tip of one agaisnt Michael's throat. "Talk." "You don't like killing needlessly do you?" She frowned and pulled back slightly. "Exscuse me?" "You would rather be a human then have to kill like this wouldn't you?" "Shut up, tell me why you hunting us." "I was just following orders." She ran her claw down his cheeck gashing it. "So am I." He winced and blinked as she growled down at him. "Nothing you can say will ever make me reget the choice I made, no I may not like killing but my friends make this job worth while." "Your friends, or just him?" She growled again and dug her claws into his arm. "If I were you, i would worry more about you life." "I'm not worried, I'll just go back to my master." "Oh really? You think so?" She pulled out a small medallion from her pocket and put it around his neck. "Your marked as one of us now, you'll go to my master. We put these around our marks necks so they don't lose their way. No talk!" "I'd rather die then talk to a beast like you!" Drake and Akasha rushed in as they heard him screaming and Gea growling, they walked it to see her ontop of him, bot sets of clawin imbedded in his shoulders and her knee in his stomcah. "He won't talk." Akasha looked down at him. "Then I think we should kill him." "He has to much information that we can get, we'll have to wait till Lee gets back and let him go in and find out what he can." The girls nodded, Gea stood up and cahined the angel to the wall in the back and then walked outside and began to scale the side of the building, looking down at Drake from about 5 feet up she winked and said with a smile. "I'm going for some fresh air and to keep a look out for other angels and for Lee, if you come looking for me that is." She flicked her tail and then continued up the sid eof the tower woundering seriously if he would follow her or stay behind with Akasha. She shrugged as she climbed higher.[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[SIZE=2][COLOR=RoyalBlue][FONT=Comic Sans MS]Akiko looked at Ashura and nodded. "Orthaos, that should be about everyone shouldn't it?" "Just about, i don't see the harm in starting noe Akiko." She nodded and stood up streaching her wings and sighing as they popped, she smiled at the others and then let it fade as they stared back at her with for the most part hard expressions. "Alright, now I know this may be hard to believe but you are all here for the protection of a young lady who ahs been chosen to be the Savior for the poeple of earth, we are to protect her with our lives and si all we can to make sure she survives." "Forget it." She looked over at the young women who sat with a staff in her hands. "Excuse me?" "I said forget it. I don't see why we have to die for some little girl to live?" "We are not completely daed. We will be given a physical shape to go back to earth and proect this girl," She looked at the young man that had said he only wanted to go back and relax, "And if any of you abandon her you will be brought back here immediatly." She looked at Ashura and inclined her head. "You have been chosen as our Capitan, If you want a second in command I must ask you to consider Orthaos, he is the last capitain of the last Gaurdieans and knows the routes here. He can help you a great deal." She glanced around and nodded. "Now that you all know what your in for, I'll take you to the white room so we canh fit you with your wings, power, and weapon. These will be your way of getting around and priotecting the Savior. Now, if any of you wish to back out as will let us know, and well, we'll set you up an apratmen down here. If not, then don't worry, if you have weapons with you already we will fit them to your specific regulations. As mine has been." She pointed to a barret in her hair and nodded to Orthaos who led the way out talkinf to Ashura the whole time. Akiko stopped beside Ashen and held out her hand to him. "You coming?" He looked up at her, a look of somewhat shock on his face.[/FONT][/COLOR][/SIZE]

[COLOR=RoyalBlue][FONT=Comic Sans MS][B]Allura felt her heart beat quicken and felt her head swim, she looked up as Dean chuckled adn speared her with a feral glance. "You have alot of built up anger don't you? Your already changing. To bad for Sarin. He'll have to kill you instead of the other way around." She looked up at Sarin and then back at the ground as her blood pread from her wrist where her brother had split it, it burned with the poision of his saliva. The poision that was changing her as it did Sarin. She choked back a sob but found sh couldn't hold them back any longer. SHe let out a whimper and fell to teh floor as her heart rate sped up even more and started to breath heavily. She could barely make out Kizan's voice over the ringing in her ears. "You had better make it quick Sarin, she's fadeing." She lifted her head enough to look at Sarin and whimper once more before the pain took her and she passed out.[/B][/FONT][/COLOR]
