[Little Serenity]

[i]Umeko traveled down the path she had chosen. Meanwhile, she made sure that she only picked the flowers with red pollen. Finally, she came to a dead end.[/i]

[b]Umeko:[/b] Ack... great. I'll have to go back and wait for Max.

[b]???:[/b] I don't think that will be necessary.

[i]Umeko remained calm.[/i]

[b]Umeko:[/b] I wish you stupid riders would get off our backs. Fortunately for you, I can't stand killing people, so you're going to get off easy.

[b]???:[/b] I doubt very much that you could kill ME. Bik-san Umeko... You have an excellent talent for martial arts and a keen sense of theivary. I tried to persuade my superiors to mindwipe you, but I was unsuccessful in swaying their opinion.

[i]Umeko started to turn.[/i]

[b]???:[/b] Not another inch, Bik-san. (He rests a sword on her shoulder) Or I may be forced to use this instead of my intended weapon.

[b]Umeko:[/b] At least tell me who's going to kill me.

[b]???:[/b] My name, is Tsubasano Yabun Kuro, or Tsubasa for short.

[b]Umeko:[/b] So, if I were to scream, Max might find my head and you?

[b]Tsubasa:[/b] You are a smart girl. But I doubt that you can scream when you are poisoned.

[b]Umeko:[/b] WHA-?!!

[i]Tsubasa pressed a giant flower with purple pollen against Umeko's face. She held her breath, trying not to inhale the pollen. She started coughing and gasping for air. Tsubasa released her. Umeko's vision was fuzzy, but she could make out Tsubasa's ratty black hair and yellow eyes.[/i]

[b]Umeko:[/b] It's-- funny. Your name-- (cough) means Night Wings of Black (she fell to her knees) But your eyes are the color of the sun. (She gasped, drawing a last intake of breath.) I'd run-- if I were, you. Max'll tear you apart.

[i]With the last of her air, she screamed as loud as she could.[/i]

[i][/i]

[Shinkoru]

[color=indigo][I]Eve's ears perked up as she heard the scream. Closing her eyes, re-opening them she was next to Umeko.

Eve grabbed the girl and tilted her head back. Taking a vile from her pocket the bit the cork with her teeth and spit it out. Drinking the liquid she put her lips to Umeko's forcking her to drink, knowing she couldn't on her own.

Umeko coughed and opend her eyes.[/I]

[B]Eve:[/B] Your lucky I have shuch good hearing.

[I]Umeko:[/b] *coughing* Tha..you...

[I] Umeko passed out as Max appeared behind Eve.[/I]

[B]Max:[/B] WHAT HAPPEND??!

[B]Eve:[/B] I don't know I heard her scream. we'll have to wait itl she comes to.

[i] Max nodded and walked to Eve, offering to carry Umeko. Eve smiled and hande her to him.

Eve could have saved them a walk by teleporting them all but she needed to pick a few more flowers.

As they walked Eve paused often to pick a floewr or two, the odd red pollen making her htink back to when she sent her husband out to pick the verry same flower..

The finally reached Eve's tree top cabbin.

Upon entering Max laid Umeko on Eve's bed as They went about their own business waiting for her to wake up and tell them what happend. Eve however already had her suspisions..[/i][/color]

[Sakura]

OOC:Hmmmmmmm lemme think.........
*Snaps fingers*Ah ha!I have it!!The main leader guy will be....Basuka.Basu for short.He's Tsubasa's older brother and is angry coz we kill Tsubasa.

So I'm with DFX and Max fighting Tsubasa?Ok.If I could get all the little spammy messages deleted then we'll continue?

And some people have to delete their extra posts coz everyone seemed to post at the same time.^_^;

EDIT:Why does this happen to me?!:bawl:

[Guest visser 3]

Ok lets here it. What do you have to say?

[Sakura]

Thanks Scorpio and Visser 3.

This is getting complicated.
I think we need to back up quite a lot.
KLet's go into the past.....
We need to go back to before the fight with Tsubasa.
We'll start again from where Umeko got poisoned ok?
Does anyone have a disagreement to that?
I'll make a post where everyone who wants to be there here's the scream.
It will go back to Eve rescuing Umeko and taking her back to the house.
For the others.Tsubasa will be killed by us because the leader is his older brother who will get very angry and will be our arch enemy.
So everyone delete their extra posts and the chatty bit we've been having.

Here's what's going to happen.
Max,Eve,Sakura and DFX will hear Umeko and come to her.Eve will teleport Umeko away while Me,Max and DFX fight.Have I skipped anyone?Any disagreement?I'll leave this for a few minutes and wait for replies before I start the new paragraph.so please everyone including me delete the posts except for Serenity's when she gets poisioned.And everyone will run in together ok?

Thankyou.That's all I have to say.Now please read and obey.

[Little Serenity]

Sounds very good! I also have a proposition to make so this confusion doesn't happen again. Either: a) copy your post after you write it, and check the boards to make sure nobody's posted yet, or b) check the "Who's Online" forum to see if anyone's posting. That should help a bit, ne, Ohkami-sama? ^_^

So... I guess I'll get this on the road...

[b]Umeko:[/b] (screams)

[i]Elsewhere:[/i]

[b]Max:[/b] That was Umeko!! She's in trouble!!

[i]Somewhere other than Elsewhere:[/i]

[b]Sakura:[/b] That was Umeko!! Why's she screaming?!

[b]DFX:[/b] There's a strong Dark Rider with her!

[b]Sakura:[/b] C'mon!! Let's go!

[i]Eve's House[/i]

[b]Eve:[/b] (perks her ears upon hearing Umeko's scream, and teleports to her. She uncorks her bottle and makes Umeko drink a fluid. Just then, Max crashes through the undergrowth.)

[b]Max:[/b] WHAT HAPPENED?!! (sees purple flower) Poisoned?!

[b]Tsubasa:[/b] Umeko will no longer be a problem for the Dark Riders to clean up.

[b]Eve:[/b] I'm taking her back to my house! I think I can feel Sakura and DFX coming to help you, so hold on!! (She leaves with Umeko)

[Sakura]

OOC:Please everyone delete all the extra posts that belong to you.Lots of people have done so already and I appreciate it.

[color=navy]Sakura and DFX appeared out of no where and saw Max.
there was a Dark Rider there.

[b]Sakura:[/b]Max!!What happened?!

She said watching the Dark Rider.

[b]Max:[/b]Umeko was poisoned by a purple flower!!

[b]Sakura:[/b]So who's he?!

She said hitching her thumb towards the Dark Rider.Max shrugged.

[b]Sakura:[/b]Hey you!Who are you?!And What are you doing here?!

[b]???:[/b]I am Tsubasano Yabun Kuro!I am here because I was ordered to do so!!Abnd now I'll kill you!

Tsubasa charged forward and Sakura quickly put another shield wall.
She charged up a fireball between her palms.It gradually got bigger and was soon the size of a globe.Sakura dispelled of the wall and threw the fireball at Tsubasa before closing the wall again.Max and DFX had their weapons out ready.Sakura dispelled of the wall again and Max,DFX and Tsubasa charged.Sakura's sharp hearing picked up a sound in the bush.Soon someone came crashing through the forest.

Sakura gasped.Could it be?!

[b]Sakura:[/b]Chaos!!!Is it you?!?!

Chaos looked over at her.He smiled.Sakura blushed.They were old friends and when they were a bit younger Sakura had a crush on him.

[b]Chaos:[/b]Sakura?!You're so different!!!

Chaos ran up to her.They hugged in a friendly way.

[b]Sakura:[/b]Chaos what are you doing here?!?!

[b]Chaos:[/b]Me?!I'm here to find the one summoned by Eden!!

[b]Sakura:[/b]well you found her..It's me!Are you here to help?!

[b]Chaos:[/b]You?!Of course I'm here to help my old friend.We need to catch up on old times!

[b]Sakura:[/b]I agree but not right now.

She said looking in the direction of the battle.Chaos turned around and saw the battle.

[b]Chaos:[/b]I'll go help.Wish me luck!

Sakura smiled and he ran down to the battle.He pulled out his sword and slashed.

Sakura held out her hands palms forward pointing to the battle.Thunder crackled in her palms and thunder came from her hands and hit Tsubasa.Chaos turned around in surprise and looked at her.When they knew each other a few years ago Sakura was only a beginning mage and now...she was a master mage.
Sakura clasped her hands and whispered mystical words.
A glowing bow and arrow dropped from the sky.
Sakura had always been good with all weapons.She notched an arrow to the string and drew it.She pointed it at Tsubasa and fired.It was a Holy Arrow.Eden gave her the power to call on the legendary Holy Bow and Arrows.They were only to be used against evil.Since it's holy it destroys evil.It plunged through Tsubasa's heart and he crumpled to the ground.A light shone around Sakura and the bow and arrows disappeared.She sighed and smiled.

Max,DFX and Chaos ran up to her.Sakura grbbed their hands and teleported them back to Eve's house.Sakura slumped on the couch.She quickly introduced Chaos to them and fell asleep from exhaustion.[/color]

[Little Serenity]

[i]Umeko lay on Eve's bed writhing in pain and coughing up purple pollen.[/i]

[b]Umeko:[/b] Eve...?

[b]Eve:[/b] I'm right here Umeko.

[b]Umeko:[/b] I'm... sorry. I've been nothing but a -- burden to you guys.

[b]Eve:[/b] Don't trouble yourself. It was just rotten luck, you know?

[b]Umeko:[/b] Yeah... (pause) Do you think they're okay?

[b]Eve:[/b] I'm sure they are.

[i]*Tsubasa was incredibly strong. Even when he had that sword on my shoulder I was shaking in my boots. Why did he attack me? Why not Sakura? She's the important one.*[/i]

[b]Umeko:[/b] One of these days, I'm going to save you all. I may not have strength of body, but I have strength of mind-- (she coughed again) I'll bust you guys out of some situation...

OOC: By the by, I drew a piccy of Umeko so, er... (doesn't want to break a rule) where should I post it? Thankies! ^_^

[Sakura]

OOC:Hey Seren just put an attachment link.
Whoever's online I repeat once more!!
Any posts that are after the part where Umeko gets poisoned and before Serenity's new post and spam etc. delete them!

[Guest visser 3]

Chaos had always had a little affection for sakura, so he was surprised when he found out it was her who was summoned by gaia. He was happy, to be with a good friend once again.

Chaos: Who were those guys we just battled because I killed two of those dark riders on the way into the town and they were to easy for me that guy though was WOW.

Sakura wakes up and hears what Chaos says.

Sakura: That was Tsubasa.

Chaos: Oh hey didnt he have a older brother.

Sakura: Yes

Chaos: So we are in trouble?

Sakura: Depends on how you look at it.

[Sakura]

OOC:The goddess is Eden just telling you:D

[color=navy][b]Sakura:[/b]It depends on how you look at it.We most probably are in trouble.Tsubasa's older brother is Basuka.Or Basu for short.The two were very close.Tsubasa was a captain under his older brother.Once Basu finds out we've killed his only family left he will not be happy and he will hunt us down.From now on we must be careful.

[i]She said as she walked over to Umeko.Umeko was still sick.[/i]

[b]Sakura:[/b]See.If another thing like this happens then we will be in trouble.I think we should get some ammo!!

[i]Sakura smirked and walked over to the bookshelf and took the book on plants down.She flipped through and looked at the flowers.She smirked again and grabbed some small baskets.She threw one at Chaos,Max and DFX and kept one.[/i]

[b]Sakura:[/b]Chaos go find flowers with a purple pollen,DFX go find some maroon,Max you got Pink and I got the Red.Got it guys?Eve you have to stay here and take care of Umeko.Well be back soon.

[i]The guys nodded and they headed to the teleporter.They reached the bottom and went searching for their flowers.Sakura went around picking all the red pollened flowers and looked around.chaos wasn't too far away picking purples.Max and DFX were quite far away.She sighed and continued picking.Soon they got enough and went back into the cottage.They put the baskets down and sat talking about how they could defeat a large group of Dark riders if they were as strong as Tsubasa.Sakura wouldn't be able to summon the Holy Bow and Arrows every time.[/i][/color]

[Little Serenity]

[i]Umeko rolled over and coughed up some more pollen. Sakura looked just a bit disgusted, but smiled.[/i]

[b]Umeko:[/b] Sorry... can't help it.

[b]Sakura:[/b] That's okay. It wasn't your fault that Tsu made you inhale poison pollen. It's only natural for your body to react negatively.

[b]DFX:[/b] (just a bit grossed-out) Just how much of that stuff DID you inhale?

[i]Umeko shot him the death glare. He looked away, unaffected. Umeko sighed. Giving people threatening glares was not a way to befriend them.[/i]

[b]Umeko:[/b] Sakura, if those dark riders come again, just leave 'em to me. I'll take care of every last one of them.

[b]Sakura:[/b] I don't know Umeko... you said yourself that your more of the brains type than a fighter.

[b]Umeko:[/b] Yeah... but I could, distract them or something! (she expelled more pollen) Or I could mask everyone so they wouldn't be able to see us!

[b]Eve:[/b] Those are all admirable traits Umeko, but they'll hardly get us anywhere.

[i]Umeko looked down at the floor. She faked a stomach cramp and turned away from the group. They were right of course. She was of no use until they got to a complicated lock or something. Unless...[/i]

[b]Umeko:[/b] I have a confession to make.

[i]Everyone had been silent for a moment. They looked towards Umeko's trembling form as she coughed a bit more.[/i]

[b]Umeko:[/b] I knew Tsubasa's brother Basuka, at least, I thought I did. He's about two years older than I am. We used to play together along with Tsubasa. They both have the same golden sun eyes... But anyway, when we got older, we all studied martial arts under my dad. My build was more suited for a light warrior, while Basuka's was more suited for a heavy warrior. I was kind of upset at this and... (she coughed to hide a sob) he promised he'd protect me. Instead, he destroyed everything that was dear to me. He rallied the mob that had killed my well-off family, for what reason, I don't know.

[b]DFX:[/b] So why are you telling us all this?

[b]Umeko:[/b] I know where Basu is. To the north of here, is a chain of islands, an archipalego. He must be on one of those islands. The only thing that worries me, is that there are hundreds, maybe thousands of those islands.

[b]Sakura:[/b] Are you positive that he's there? We don't want to go out on a wild goose chase.

[b]Umeko:[/b] I can't be positive, but Basu was always attached to those islands. He used to drag me out of my bed just so I could see the sunrise. But now... he's gone and sent his younger brother to kill me! But...

[i]*Why ME...?*[/i]

[Sakura]

[i][color=navy]Sakura saw the pain in her eyes.She put a comforting hand on her shoulder.[/i]

[b]Sakura:[/b]Ok then...As soon as you get all the pollen out of your system then we'll leave.I don't want to travel with someone sick.Rest up guys.We'll need it.And Umeko.Don't worry about it.Just get better okay?

[i]Umeko nodded sadly.Sakura smiled weakly and patted her softly.Sakura looked back sadly and walked into a corner to get some rest.[/color][/i]

OOC: Hey ohkami? am i in?

[Sakura]

Yup.
You're fine Kiara.
Join whenever.

Akira walked out of Tifa's bar with her weapons, some money, food, and connections. She also left with a small animal. Tifa watched her walk away from the bar before going back inside. Akira was walking along, when she suddenly heard screaming from near another Town. She ran towards the screaming. There was chaos. A Dark Rider was looking for "the ones who killed his brother."

???: You!*points to Akira* Have you seen these kids?*brings out Wanted Posts*
Akira: Ummm no. *lying, in truth she has seen them once in the Bar probably*
???: What's your name?
Akira: Why? Who wants to know?
Basuka: I want to know. I, Basuka, the brother of Tsubasa, wants to know. And my reason? To see if you are enemy or ally.

[Sakura]

[i][color=navy]Sakura's eyes snapped open.[/i]

[b]Sakura:[/b]I feel Basu.He's close by.In the town next to here.

[i]Sakura,Eve,Max,Chaos,DFX and Umeko looked at each other.[/i]

[b]Sakura:[/b]What do you want to do?Run or fight?[/color]

[Little Serenity]

[b]Umeko:[/b] Let's kick it! Ohhh... (she bends over and grips her stomach.) I... can't get up. Everything's spinning.

[b]DFX:[/b] We can't just sit here and wait for her to recover.

[i]Sakura nodded. As much as she hated to admit it, they had to leave Umeko there for now.[/i]

[b]Sakura:[/b] Are you going to be okay by yourself?

[b]Umeko:[/b] Oh heck yeah. You guys just go right ahead. I'll walk around the house for a bit and get used to walking around.

[i]Eve nodded, then tipped her head to signal to everyone that it was time to go.[/i]

[b]Umeko:[/b] Go kick some butt for me!

[i]The door shut.[/i]

[i]*Please come back. And be careful. Basuka's become a madman...*[/i]

[Revelation]

Akira backed away from Basuka as he jumped off his horse. He pulled his sword out and was ready to attack. Akira didn't know what to do. She reached for her katana and pulled it out right before Basuka got her. They slashed at each other back and forth. Akira jumped from the ground and flipped into the air. She landed on a post.

Basuka: Very impressive. But can you top this? Blind!

[Shinkoru]

[color=indigo][I]Eve looked behind her, she didn't like leaving Umeko behind.. She wistled for Ryuu and let the others go on she'd catch up. She explained to Ryuu to protect Umeko and keep her in the house. He shrunk down to the size of a pony. Eve teleported to the others and smiled feeling ok now that Umeko was safe.

They ran for a while until eve heard swords clashing/ They turned right and ran smack in to some girl and Basuka. They all sprang into action.

Eve jumped back letting the others gain skill, she already knew how to fight, but she could use a brush up on her protection spells. she jumped to the high branch of a tree and started chanting, suddenly the air around her new friends started sparkling, the looked up and Eve and nodded, knwing she wa protecting them from ana severe harm..[/color][/I]

[Revelation]

Akira looked over and saw other people. She backed away from Basuka and the others. She did not know whether they were good or bad. But, a girl with a glaive slashed towards Basuka. Akira knew that she was on her side. The others advanced as well.

[Sheikahmon]

OOC: A lot of Ayako?s posts are going to be mostly description or other people talking. Ayako DOES NOT SPEAK unless she absolutely has to, and then she speaks in a whisper. So she does not get into long, involved conversations with the other characters.

IC: [i]Red eyes silently watched the raging battle. They belonged to a girl who did not seem to care who was good and who was evil, so long as she got paid.
The man called Basuka was very good with his weapons.
The girl with the glaive was very good with that. She also held an aura of mystic power about her.
Ayako had learned to discern those with magic abilities when she had studied with her parents at a temple once. Now, she could sense that many of the people there had potent magical powers. But Ayako had also learned how to battle against people with powers and win.
Ayako was a silent ninja mercenary. She killed when she was paid to kill, she battled when she was paid to battle. All of her battles were to the death, and since Ayako was still alive, it can be presumed that it was all of her foes that died.
She rarely spoke. When she wanted to get an idea across, she nodded, shook her head, or gestured until she got it across. She rarely employed any form of communication, however.
Right now, Ayako was looking for a job. It could be anything for all she cared, so long as she got paid. Girl mercenaries were uncommon because no man wanted to admit that a girl could do a job bettern than they could. As a result, Ayako often had to forego pay, and she had learned to go a long time without food.
If one of these people wanted a warrior or a ninja or an assasin, then Ayako could perhaps get a job. And then she could get food and maybe even a drink at a local bar, though it was not often she got a decent mug of ale, beer, or wine.
Ayako moved stealthily closer to the battle. These people were powerful. Would any of them have a job to offer her?[/i]

[Guest cesar906]

DFX:Basu your buzzard food I'll kill you!

He went running and started attacking him with all his might with one of his swords he would make him think he only had one then he would combine his two swords and attack as he did that he saw what was going on basu had summoned more dark riders and saw that they were sneakin behind everyone else so instead of attacking basu he attacked the dark riders with his powerful swords but basu had left.

[Shinkoru]

[color=indigo][I]Eve's eyes peered throug the trees below her, watching the girl with red eyes. She closed ehr eyes and channeld herm ind directly ot this girls.

~inside Ayako?s head~
Eve"So, your name is Ayako. I am Eve, one of the legendary 7 hereos. Nice to meet you. You may not speak much but I am sure you won't need to because I can read your mind at will. I am pleased to see you do not mean to harm us, if so you would be dead. And yes I am sure we could use your help, check your pocket.

Ayako then reacked to her pocket and withdrew a back full of gold coins.

~Eve"thats 1,000 yen. If your help goes past that payment I shall give you more.

The girls face was astonished. She jumped out ready for battle, now glad to aid Sakura and the others.[/i][/color]

[Revelation]

Akira looked at the others fight Basuka. She was amazed. When Basuka faced Akira. She was ready. Akira stood with her katana blade facing up and she said a simple spell. In about a 3 feet radius of her everything was circling her. A bright light envieled her as well. Her hair was flying. It stopped and she opened her eyes. They were dark blue.

Akira: You underestimated me Basuka. HAH! I thought you would've been stronger than that. Oh well, time for me to end it.

Akira slashed her katana down and the blade grew wider. Then she slashed the ground again and fire was hurled towards Basuka. Basuka got out of the way immediatley. It singed him slightly. He was burnt. Sakura looked at Akira. She helped Akira fight Basuka. They were both slashing at Basuka. Basuka was then caught off guard and he tripped. Sakura had him by the neck.
