Akieen Cloud

Tallie grabbed BT by the shirt front and wrneched him to his feet. "You little worm! You know something don't you?" BT blinked and looked away from her. "I knew it!" She threw him out the door and ran down the hall unto something in her chest constricted. "Wha?.....Tom...." She changed direction and ran to the woods til she found tom hunched over holding his chest blood coimg from between his fingers. "TOM! Gods are you-What happened?" "Sa-kur-a" "Oh....Tom..." She put a shoulder under his arm and helped him to his feet walking back to his dorm she placed him on the bed where he promtly fell asleep. "I think I should pay a visit to Sakura and see if I can help these two out....than again, I'm having troubles of my own with Tobais...He hasn't talked to me since the fights....since I passed out." She walked away and headed for Sakura's room down the hall.

Thyne's eyes had gone white and she was twisting a demon in half with the power she was letting loose. Lucifer was like a second father to her and like Jin she would let no harm come to him. She let loose an arrow into a creature's eyes sending a fresh wave of blood around her. She licked it gently from her hand and smiled as a blood lust battle rage came over her. She took her bow and spun it to where the wire sliced throught four demons in a row covering her with blood. She turned towards Jin and smiled nodding she went back to back wiht him and they begaun to spin. "Lets show them what we can do Jin." He nodded and concentrated on his fire while she summoned another large torando. The powers mixed making a twister of fire and wind the burned and sliced through every enemy but never touched their allies. Thyne dropped to the ground as her wings gave out. She grabbed a fallen angels sword and begun to fight the ground forces back.

OCC: You sure can.

Satsuki craked the whip meanicingly and advanced on the leader. "Busy." The word was monotone and cold. Satsuki was pissed. She whirled the whip around her head and brought it down gashing the hard packed earth. "Bastard, you think I'll let you get away with that?" The man laughed and grabbed an abandoned sword. Satsuki grabbed the pole and swund it roughly breaking the man and his sword in two. "I warned him, Now anyone else?" The rest stopped and stared at Satsuki. "You have royally pissed me off. I'll let Yeua handle the rest While I tend to Omrie."

Vey was in heaven. or at least it felt like it. She and Heero had not been alone together....since never. She dunked him and laughed as he pulled her down too. She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him hungerily. "You know that since that one night I haven't been able to ravish you the way I want?" Vey smiled and nodded. "Yes, I have." She leaned forward adn nipped his neck soothing the bites with soft kisses. "Heero I love you." "Love you too...you keep that up adn I'll show just how much." "Ooo, dirty talk..." Heero laughed and kissed her neck. "Your a trip." "I try...Captin." Heero chuckled and kissed her. He felt her hand slip into his back pocket and smiled agianst her lips. "A little needy ther aren't we?" "Look you. I've been having the same problm as you. It's not fun to see you all wet and not get to touch." Vey mock pouted and shivered as Heero nibbled her lips. "You can touch all you want." "Good." Vey trailed soft kisses and nips down his chest and across his shoulders.

Thyne saw the raw rage in Jin's eyes and flew infornt of him. "Jin, You have to concentrate, you can't ket this blind you." Jin was shaking hard now. She did the only thing she knew to do. Concentrateing she caused a tornado anround the two of them and slapped Jin as the wind hid them. "Jin! Snap out of it! Don't blow this now!" Jin put a hand on his cheek and looked at Thyne, his eyes back to normal. "Your right Thyne...Thank you." "Watch your back..." "You too." "Always."

Mayhony blinked and blushed brightly. SHe dropped the coffee mug and threw her arms around his neck hugging him. "You know, I've loved you for a long time Syn..." "What do you mean?" "You think I hired you because? I knew all of you before you entered the pub that night, all but Senkai...I had been tailing you all from the begining. sage was a surprise, I'll grant that. But I've seen you work and I've seen what you can do. From the first hiest I watched you pull, I knew that I had to meet you. I had fallen for you than and there. I never had the hope of you feelng the same for me, ever..." Syn snaked his arms around her as well and held her close inhaling her scent. "Why didn't you tell me this?" "Like you would belive me?" "I do don't I?" Mayhony looked up and matched his lips with her's kising him lightly. "Good point." Applase from the other room brought her attentio to the door way as the others clapped for them. Mayhony blushed and bowed dramaticly, turning she grabbed Syn's hand and led him to her room. Whisteles followed them down the stairs and into the room. Once there Syn smiled. "What are we doing?" "I'm fixing to show you the main route into the Zeal room."

Vey climbed on the rope that led to Satin's Sin and sighed as she felt her feet connect with the solid wood under her feet. Zero had shown up not long before she had volenteered to take this job of sneaking aboard and finding Tika. Zero had been passed out in the cannon room drunk. Vey helped him abaodr and motioned for him to follow her, he nodded his deep blue eyes serious. SHe trotted down the decka nd spotted Tika, she snuck out and grabbed her holding her mouth so she couldn't scream, Tika struggled till Vey thunped her in the forehead. "Shut it Tika. I'm here to help. This is my freind Zero. He's a drunk and a bastard but he'd rather die than hurt another soul." Zero nodded silently and stared at Tika warmly. "Pleased to meet you." He made his voice soft and pleasent to her ears, a freind's voice. Vey looked at Tika and sighed. "Look, I know what your going through right now, being rapped isn't fun...I know," Vey's eyes turned black, "But you have to move on with it...your strong, I know you can do it. Look Tika we came here to get you out and run till we can figer something out. YOu coming or what? Look wheter you say yes or no, I'm carrying you out of here." Tika's eyes turned wide. "Why? Why would you help me? I'm one of them..." "Your alright in my book...Come on, your a pirate of the Devil's Rose, by past or present and well, I'm taking you back. So let's go." Vey took one shoulder while Zero took the other and together they helped Tika back to the Devil's Rose. Vey looked up at Heero on the Wheel deck. "Rescue mission a succsess! Let's get out of here lover!" Heero nodded and steered the Rose away from the Satin's Sin and to the saftey of a cove. Vey put a hand on Tika's shoulder. "Your a person in my book, a freind. I see you no diffrently than I see my-self. Zero will help you feel better, he may be a drunk, but he can cook one hell of a meal. And his home brew is wonders for soreness. Trust us Tika, right now...we're all you've got. This is your family, as weird as we all are we love each other, and I want to make you a part of that, we all do. Even if we don't show it all that well." Vey shot Jericho a deadly glance and smirked as he rolled his eyes and went back to mopping the deck. "You can trust us Tika. We're on your side here. We're all you have." Vey smiled as Tika's eyes welled with tears and she buried her face in Vey's shoulder sobbing. Vey calmed her enough to have Zero take her down and feed her. Vey walked to Heero and wrappe dher arms around him. "I'm prous of you vey Flower." "Why." "You just showed the crew why I love you so much." Vey smiled and looked at the stars.

It was well past pitch black by the time Mayhony had everyone done and finished with. "Right, now you all can take a shower and do what you please." She walked away and into the kitchen to get a cup of coffee. She was pouring the black liquid when she felt a body behind her. "Mayhony..." She turned to see Syn staring at her, she blushed bright and cleared her throat. "Yes Syn?" "Today...on the roof, why did you do that? What did you mean?" "Syn..." She took a long gulp of the black coffee and sighed, she grabbed his hand and led him into the back. Stopping she turned and faced him. "What I did, what I said...I regret nothing of it." 'Was it just training?" Mayhony looked away and then back at him. "Syn...your making this harder than I wnat it to be." "I just want an answer." Mayhony took a deep breathe and stepped forward pressing her lips to his firmly, waiting for him to throw her off or reject her. When he didn't she pulled away and mumbled an apology to him. "Syn...I'm sorry...I shouldn't have done that..."

Satsuki nodded and followed him to Omrie. "No, thats a magic sheild and the only spell I know will never be strong enought to break that...Wait...Idea." She pulled the pole from it's perch on her shoulders and put both hands on it chanting softly. the metal frosted over and she threw it with all her might till it reached the sheild and ice cicles flew from it piercign the sheild but leaving Omrie safe as he fell to the ground next to the poel that was standing straight in the ground.

Mayhony smriked and threw down a smioke bomb. "nope." "Thats not fair Mayhony!" "I never said you couldn't use effects." She slipped up close to him, her body pressed against his back, she splayed an open hand on his chest and smiled wickedly as his movments stopped. "You ever consider that I chose you first because I like you the best?" Syn stumbled on his words for a moment and exhaled loudly. She put both arms around him and flipped him, the smoke hung in the air so no-one could see their movments, straddeling his waist she smilel as his own dagger was pressed to his throat. She bent down till their noses touched and smirled as his cheeks flamed. "Your not the only one who can play their cards the right way Synny boy." She swiped her tounge along his chin and smiled as he shivered. "If you think with your dick and not your head in this hiest...this is what will happen. All the gaurds are female." "Than why are you doing this?" "To see how well you stand agianst it...and for kicks." the smoke was begining to clear and she smiled warmly at him, planting a soft kiss to his lps she rose and helped him up. "You lose this round Synny-boy. Better luck next time." He blinked rapidly at her as she turned to the others. " Sage. Your turn." She turned and winked at Syn before turning back to Sage.

Mina ran forward and latched onto her fathers back biteing into his shoulder centemeters from the jugular. Blodd splattered the floor and her clothes. He slpped her off and she landed cat-like next to TJ. "Don't listen to him TJ! He's saying that to keep your mind off of what your suppose to be doing!" TJ shook his head and nodded. "Your right." Mina charged at her father and screamed as his claws ripped through her flesh adn she smiled as pain lanced through her body. Adreniline was pumping through her and she was breatheing heavily. "Father...I WILL kill you here tonight." "Mina, you only think you are that strong." Blood poured from both Calek and Mina as they faced off. Calek looked up at Dregen and scoffed. "We shall finish this later. Victor! Marcus! We take our leave." both nodded and they dissappered into the shadows. Mina's knees became weak as her life's blood spilled to the floor with her falling. TJ was by her side instantly. "MINA!" "i'm alright...TJ..." Mina took a deep breath and winced passing out.

Thyne flew behind Jin never leaving his side till she saw Lucien fall. "DAMNIT!" "Thyne! Leave him." "Jin...He's one of us." "I do not trust him." "But please, trust my jugdement. I know that you think I'm foolish..." Jin shook his head and smiled, a rare thing for him to do. "If you feel it is right than go." Thyne nodded and swooped down to Lucien and smiled. "Just hold tight." She closed her eyes and concentrated, she felt the power rise in her chest like a bright light, she inhaled deeply and as she exhaled the power was sent throught the ground, the caorpses began to rise and bow to her. "Good, I'm not so rusty...Help the angels." They nodded and began to fight off the creatures, some their own kind. She felt the presance of a powerul being behind her and spun around to see a monster of a demon. "Oh....holy shit!" A large club sank into the earth where Thyne and Lucien used to be. Lucien floated in the air supported by Thyne wind. "Do not fight this creature. You can not win against it." "Just try me..." She set Lucien down gentally and drew back an arrow and fired it into the creatures throat. It gave a mighty scream and swung the club nicking one of her wings as she dodged. She winced but did not stop, calling the 'mummies' to her she had over 50 hloding it down while she stood over it. "I'll kill you." She saw the move in slow motion as the arm came free and the club found her shoulder, she felt the arm pop loose from the socket and screamed. "DAMN!" She fell backwards and her eyes turned pale white as she became to grow angrier. She called on the wind as the club came down for a final blow but never made it, a large tornado swept throught the valley suckin into it only the creatures the angels were fighting, Jin looked over as Thyne rose from the ground, one wing hanging limply and bleeding. He frowned but turned and continued fighting. Thyne pulled back another arrow, wind surrounding it in a mini twister. Realaseing the arrow she saw with satisfaction as it ripped throught the monster's chest and killed him. She turned to Lucien. "Don't underestamate me." She pushed forward and continued to fight, wind howling through the grass.

Mayhony rolled her eyes and chukeled. She grabbed the back of Syn's shirt and pulled him away from the corse. "Right. Ty your next." She nodded as Ty made it through well enough, after everyone was done she smiled wickedly. She threw water on Syn to wake him and nodded as he sat up. "Alright. Now for the REAL training." Syn wimpered. "NO! You said this WAS the REAL training!" "Close enough. Outside magots!" Once outside she back fliped to the roof and smiled. "Now, lemme see. Syn, your first." "First for what?" "Stealth and hand to hand. Get up here." The roof was flat and perfect as an arena. "If you all want to watch come up as well, but you have to get up here your self, there's no ladders." She placed Syn where she wanted him and smiled. "Ready? GO!" She ran forward and grabbed his wrist flipping him to his back. "Come now Syn, I called you first cause I thought you could handel it...was I wrong?"

"Right so at least I know you can do what I want. Not that way Syn." Syn rolled his eyes. "Yea, yea." "Now here's the fun part, Senkai thinks that this is unrealistic training...lemme tell you now, the security covering the Zeal Crystal is 10x's worse than this...trust me I know. Now he also said he wants some action...well your getting it. I'll be traing you next in fighting, the gaurds there are no push overs. Now before you get all yay and o I'll win for sure, here's the catch. I'm trying to see how you fight...with your body. No weapons, just you." Mayhony dropped down to the floor in a flat spilt and smirked. "How flexible you are, and how well you fist fight." She smiled as Syn's jaw dragged the floor." "Don't swallow a fly Syn..."

Vey was furious. Jericho was jupming to conclusions about Tika and she didn't like it. "Jericho! You son of a bitch! Why can't you treat a lady like she's supposed to be treated." Vey's eyes were black with anger but she would never hurt her own crew mate. "Get to your cabin, I can't stand to look at you right now." Jericho sumbles for ward s but in the end just rowned and walked away. Vey turned to Tika and blinked as she had a dagger to her. "You do not trutst me after that??"

OCC sounds fine to me dear elf bring onthe twitedness! ICC Mina felt her fathers claws rip into her and she screamed in agony. This wasn'r real it couldn't be real. "Father you made me this way and now yo will pay for you stupidity." "You haven;t see the extent of your abilities yet have you dear daughter." Do not call me that. YOu son of a bitch!" "Such language. And from a lady." "I'll hear no more!" Mina takled Calek to the ground and began to puncj every part she could find, her eyes turned blue in her rae and she felt the prominent fangs grow fuller in length, she growled and bit down visously into Calek's shoulder. He hissed and threw her off scratchin her face in the proccess. Blood ran down her face and fangs as she looked at her father. "I'll silence you and your experiments. You slimy bastard." Calek smiled and stood tall. "We shall see what you can do Mina...we shall see."

Mayhony laughed as she saw Syn and Senkai go down. She wasn't surprised when they had joined the party. Like Senkai, she had goggles. She went down to the dunguon adn shook her head at each boy in turn. "Well, if you all can get out with only these," She held up hair pins "The nthe ribbon chase if off, I've seen your soeed and skill so far and I must say I'm impressed. I will still train you, Syn, when you throw, you give it a curve that doesn't belong there, I will help you with that." She handed each boy a pin and nodded. "Now as soon as one is out shut te door lock it agian and give the others their chance to try it." She could see each boy struggeling wiht the lock and knew why. "Your to used to breaking into mechanicale locks and codes, I'll break you from this. Where I go you will need to know the basics, right down to picking a lock with a bobby pin." Syn looked up somewhat disstressed. "Your joking right? Why use that when you could just take a laser and melt the inside of the lock. "The lock on the Zeal Crystals case are lock laser sensitive, and the people don't belive any thief can get in. I have, I've gotten as far as the thrid level of security and had to turn back because that's where I need you guys." They were all looking at her in disbelife, syn swallowed and spoke up. "The thrid level? But I heard that the security is so tight you can't take a step..." "That's why I'll be teaching you aerobatics, you can flip trought the laser sensors fine if you know what your doing." She nodded as Ty and Senshi emerged and locked the door back. "I will teach you all you need to know for this attempt, if your not ready, we'll go after something just as big. But you had best be ready. I have been working to et my hands on this crystal since I first heard of it as a theif. So, if you are up to it. I'll train you guys for the high security your gonna run into up there." Each boy nodded. "Good."

Mina looked at TJ in sorrow and than at her father in hate. "He cre-created me...like he did Victor and Marcus...I'm an experimant and he plans on breeding me with them so that the perfect breed of vampire can walk freely for the war...He was the one that destroyed the high council." She looked at her father hareder and frowned. "He created Marcus and Victor to gain control of the coven those many yars ago and he failed to keep them in check so now he plans to use tem as he is me...TJ he plans to kill us all." Calek chuckled. "I plan to kill allthe vampires including my-self to make way for te new breed that will walk amoung us as soon as Mina cuoperates." Mina's eyes flased blue agian from behind TJ. "NEVER!" She slipped under his arm and engaged her father as they rolled along the flor Marcus approched TJ and smiled. "She's gerogus." TJ frowned. "Touch her and die..."

Mina ran along the rafters and whimpered as her sprained ankel gave out agian. "Not good!" She looked back to see Marcus advancing on her for the fifth time that night, untouched so far she was out of arrows and she had no other weapons than that. She screamed as the rafter gave way and she fell to the ground. She could hear her fathers words in her mind. [I]To breed you, to make the perfect breed of vampire to kill for the war to come...[/I] She looked at him and felt a cold rage attakc her heart, her eyes flashed blue in the dark and she stood, her body rigid and angery. She clenched her fist tight and as Marcus approched her she grabbed his wrist and snapped it cleanly. He winced and backed away from her as she began to radiate hate and anger. "You think that I would a gree to this father? That I would roll over like a dog and pray for it to end. Your wrong!" She picked up a piece of metal form the rafter and swung it deftly hitting the railing to the rafter beside her, it fell to the floor as well. "If I die you all die." Her eyes softened as she thought of TJ and his lips on her's. [I]I'm sorry, I didn't think it would end this way, suppose I was wrong...forgive me, everyone...I love you all...[/I] She screamed as Victor grabbed her throat and began to choak the life from her body.

Thyne took a great likeing to the girl as she left to speak with Lucien, she was like Thyne in many ways but so diffrent at the same time. She respected the girl named Corsha. Her anger gone she returned to the throne room and ventured over to Jin. He was fliting his wing irrtiably as his father continued to speak with the angel form Heaven. She smiled mishchiviously and twirled her finger behind his head at the base of his neck sending a light wind across his skin making him shiver. He truned and glared a warning at her, his wings snaping in and out quickly. She grinned waiting to see if her was the same as before, the last time she had done this she had wangeled a wresteling match from the boy. As soon as he turned around she redid the annoying move and he swiped at her hand to make her stop. A low chuckle started in her throat and she smiled as he arched an eyebrow at her and frowned mouthing the word 'stop' at her. He turned and she redid the move again and cursed as he soun grabbing her wrist, he smiled and jerked his head to the court yard. "About time you get the clue, I wanna see if you can still spar old friend." "Not now Thyne, later when things have calmed down." The adrinaline was getting to her and she bounced on the balls of her feet whimpering. "Jin...I'm bored...." She whined behind his back like a wounded dog and as he turned gave him big puppy eyes. "Please just once?" "No-Not with the eyes and the face and ugh! No Thyne, father would have my wings for a month." Jin was only this open to her normally, he was freindly to the others but he was only really playful wiht THyne since the fact that htey had basiclly grown up together. "Thyne your father was an advisor correct?" "Yes." "Well then do me a favor and follow his advice to my father...be patient and wait for the right time." "Your no fun anymore..." 'I never said I didn't want to Thyne, I just said not now, this is more important." Thyne smiled as she saw the familiar spark of the hidden child in Jin and nodded. "Alright Jin, you win. Later." Many had the feeling that she would listen to no one but Jin, how right they were. Thyne regaurded Jin with upmost respect, not because he was the prince of the Underworld, but because of the fact that he was her only true friend. She streched her elegant black wing and wrapped them around her like a leathery caccoon and sighed. For Jin, yes Jin was the only one she'd listen to in battel unless told otherwise, by Jin him-self. Til then her loyalties lie with her heart and his jugdement, and nothing could sway that.

Thyne listened carefully to the conversations that filtered through the room and noticed Jin watching his father. She approched him silently. "Jin, what do you think is the problem?" "I dunno...But it doesn't feel right." "I know what you mean..." She ruffled his hair again and walked away towards Lucien. "So you followed you instincts here correct?" Yhe elder that had told Corsha off poped her in the back of the head and scolded her. "I just told that one there about being childish and making this seem trivial." "Look old timer! You have a problem with the way I act you tell me now. I think you know that I mean well for this home. Now I belive you owe me and Corsha an apology." Her wing were tense and her green eyes black with anger. "I may act childish but when it comes to having someone at your back you better belive that I'll be close, just ask Jin." She walked away and into the dark hall to calm her-self.

Thyne looked up at the place hse once called home, she opened the doors and walked in automaticlly noticing a hunched figer on the stairs. She smiled warmly and walked over to him, as always, he looked at nothing but her feet. "Jin Kazama, you brat, you still sulking under daddy?" Jin looked up wide eyes. "Thyne?" Thyne crooked her head back and smiled, her green eyes shining with merriement. "Good to see you too. How have you been? 10 years right?" Jin nodded. She sat down beside him and placed a hand on his shoulder and ruffled his heir fondly. Jin was older than her but she still teased him all the same. They were child hood friends and vowed to be forever no matter what. Thyne had also promised Jin that when the time came for him to fight she would be by his side untill it was over or untill she died. They had also promised that the relationship between them would be nothing more than freinds, and they still were. "So, how's your old man?" "Cranky, as always." "He worries about you." "So does your father, where is he anyway?" "Pops died, he was ill. I came to tell Lucifer and you but it seems the old devil left before I got here." Thyne began to play around and created a small twister in her hand. "Old times sake?" Jin smiled and pinted a finger at the twister sneding flames through it as well. Thyne smiled. "Remember when you singed my eyebrows the first time we tried this?" Jin nodded and added more till it was nothing but fire and was spinning by her wind. "Father wouldn't let me leave the grounds for a week." Thyne laughed and extinguished the twister and flames. "Jin, something serious has happened hasn't it? I'm not stupid, I know when something troubles you. I'm your best freind. You can tell me." Jin nodded and explained what his father had told him, Thyne tapped her chin in thought. "That really is a problem huh? Well I'm here to help and I'm sure that others will come as well, so don't worry." She clapped Jin on the back andstreched out one of her wings and began to polish it to a clear shine.

Your the first ones IN, now, can you follow me through it without triggering anything? Hidden traps, death, beasts? I surly hope so cause if not, your dead. I have three ribbions on me belt, your onjective, find me, catch me, and claim your ribbion with in an time limit, you have five minutes." She took off running down the hall missing all her own traps making it seem perfectly safe throught the corridor. She had high hope for Ty, he was proving to be a very wothy thief indeed. SHe sped up as Denshi narrowly missed his ribbion but set off a smoke bomb. Mayhony laughed and jumped into the rafters without notice and began to climb them through the keep.

Tallie groaned, someone had woken her up from a very good dream so it had better be for a very good reason. Opening the door she saw B.T. standing there and blinked. Rubbing the sleep from her eyes shd yawned and spoke in a slurred sentence that sounded something to the effect of. "Whadyawant?" "Can we talk?" "Fine, since I'm already awake, might as well come in so I can warm up." "Warm up? For what?" "I dunno, I just feel like there's gonna be a fight today between me and someone..." Talie began to strech and soon searched for her gloves finding them and putting them on she went to the closet and opened it realeasing her punching bag. She spun quicker the B.T. could follow and hit the bag with the heel of her foot making sand puff from it. "Well you just gonna gawk at me or talk?" B.T. nodded and watched her as he pondered what to talk about as the girl pounded away on the hard bag.
