[CENTER][FONT=Lucida Sans Unicode][SIZE=3]THE REALM OF INFINITE[/SIZE][/FONT][/CENTER]

[CENTER]All things that start end...or do they[/CENTER]

In the final moments of the Universe the Norns came and wiped all existence off of it in hopes of creating peace after it finished reconstructing. In doing so they sacrified themselves. But peace would not come easy. Uni and Ios did not become wiped off the plain of existence. Their father came forth and explained that the Realms would reconstruct themselves and so he would need time to think of a way to keep them from coming back. He sent the two off to go and destroy more universes while he waited for the solution. 3000 years passed and the universe had now reconstructed itself. And so life continued on unknowing that darkness would return.



Arunue Kalamara's eyes opened. She was laying in a forest full of vegatation. But what was this place. Her face showed no sign of any expression but on the inside she was confused.
The trees stretched higher than she could see and the cover of the branches and leaves let almost no sunlight into this area. Were sunlight did come through plants were growing together.
She turned her head to the left. The forest continued. Where was this place? How did she get here? These questions started to flood her mind. Arunue sat down and looked at the plants growing in the light.
The light faded for a couple of seconds and then re-appeared. She looked up at the patch of light coming through the trees.
Nothing.
Arunue stood up and walked to her right. Hours passed as Arunue walked. She thought about her last feelings. Fear. The fear of never living again.
Something caught her eye. She turned to see the one thing she did not expect. A body lay on the ground.
Shara. The former Rail who had reincarnated and become stronger than ever lat before Arunue.
She surveyed Shara. She wasn't dead looking but then again. Arunue kneeled down and held her hand out to Shara's hand.
There was no pulse. A lifeless body. Shara's face held no expression. Only lifelessness.

OCC- How'd you like that for a mysterious start.

[Muad'Dib]

[COLOR=DarkOliveGreen]Gaitei hid in teh shadows of the forest, watching Arunue's every move. He didn't falter once, his eyes seeing through the semi darkness. This was odd indeed - a woman wandering in teh forest, watching over a dead man's body. Gaitei moved closer, trying to catch a glimpse of anythign that would give away this stranger's identity.

Nothing revealed itself, and Gaitei decided it might be best to leave the stranger alone. But then again, he never did what was best for him. He got close enough to hear her breathing, using every trick he had to stay hidden. He was crouched close to the ground, eyes almost luminous like a cat's.

She looked like an easy enough target, and he hadn't eaten that day. Perhaps she had some food with her. Gaitei inched closer still.[/COLOR]

Toshi held his sword over his shoulder as he walked along the stone path. Only a couple minutes ago he had woken up to discover that he wasn't in Asgard, The Realm of the Gods.
He was in a city. A large city at that. Bigger than any he'd ever seen. A shadow flew across the path. Toshi looked up to see a massive ship.
He watched it fly. It was even more amazing than things he'd seen before in the Realm of Technology. He looked around the street he walked on. Children played in the streets and their parents watched while doing normal household chores. beyond this street was the town square and beyond that was the castle.
As Toshi walked he stared at the castle. It was large. Magnifeicent looking. Towers surrounded it and then these neighborhoods.
A ball rolled along the path. Toshi wasn't watching and it he stepped on the ball. His foot slipped and he fell. Three children ran over and looked at him.
"Are you alright mister," one asked. He was about 3 feet in height and had dirty blonde hair. The two other children watched.
"Yes. I'm alright," Toshi said. He lifted himself up. "Thanks," he said. The kids smiled and ran off with their ball. Toshi watched.
He resumed walking. He reached the townb square. Merchants bustled about selling their wares and people inspected them wondering they wanted to buy what the merchants had or not.
Toshi passed a sign. He stopped and looked back at it. There was a play tonight. A merchant walked by and noticed Toshi looking at the sign.
"I can sell you tickets to the play tonight if you wish," the merchant said. Toshi looked over. He smiled.
"No thanks. I don't think I'm going," he said. The merchant shrugged and walked off.

Toshi sat down on a bench and put his sword back in it's sheath. "I've got to figure out where I am," he said. His black trenchcoat hung over the bench.
A girl entered the square. She was wearing black clothes and and had black hair. Toshi looked up to see who it was.
Kieko!

[ArunueShekamari]

Arunue showed a sideways smile as memory flooded back to her. "Goodbye, Shara." she whispered as she took off her loose vest and placed it over sharas body. Just then she heard a twig snap. She turned around. Nothing. She turned back around and ran staright into.....her brother hiroshi. "HIRO, YOU ASS!" she yelled, then quickly placed a hand over her mouth. Hiroshi laughed. She kicked him and he shut up. "Hiro, knowing us, there's someone following us, lets go." Arunue began to walk off. Hiro looked at shara. "She's really dead?" Arunue nodded. Hiro nodded back and silently came with her. they walked off with their arms around each other.

After an hour Arunue sighed and looked around. "Where the fuck are we?" She asked. Hiro laughed and shook his head. "no clue." he said. Arunue thought for a moment. then she relaxed and waled a bit slower, trying to sence the presence of the people she had grown to care for. She felt only three farmiliar presences in that demension. Two were very far off and one was so close she couldn't stand it. but the one that was close was different. she couldn't tell whos it was. then it hit her. she suddenly turned around quickly and looked around. ".........Garren?....." she whispered.

~OOC: see? im not dead, just an x-convict.

[Muad'Dib]

[COLOR=DarkOliveGreen]Gaitei withheld a curse as Hiroshi joined Arunue, completely ruining his chances of an easy meal. He knew that this stranger knew he was here... how he didn't know, but she knew. He would have to be more careful in future attempts.
As the two walked away, Gaitei crept back into the shadows of nearby trees. He kept pace with the two, slowing when they did, quickening when they did - all the while not making a sound. His vision blended the darkness and brief light of the two's path seamlessly, making it all the easier for Gaitei to track them.

Suddenly one of them stopped, closely followed by the other. Gaitei froze and hoped she didn't sense him, still creeping along the ground.

"...Garren...?" when she spoke it, Gaitei's head throbbed, the name echoing in his head like a long lost memory. In his confusion, he cried out in brief pain. He immediately slapped a hand over his mouth and prepared to run... but... should he?
Something about this stranger seemed familiar... and... graceful. Gaitei found himself almost entransed.[/COLOR]

[Box Hoy]

Toshi watched Kieko enter the square. He was amazed. How had the both of them come to the same place. He stood up and began to walk towards her but then there was something telling him not to.
He could feel her presence. Arunue. She was here too. She was in this world. Toshi kept walking towards Kieko. Then he felt another presence. Hiroshi. Was he here too.
Toshi closed his eyes and searched the world. Within the darkness of his eyelids covering his vision lights appeared. He was in the middle. Beyond himself he could see three lights travelling together, although one was held back. it had to be Arunue and Hiroshi. But the other one was still unknown.
Kieko was close to him. He looked for the others. He wouldn't be able to identify them but he knew that they were here. Nothing came into his vision.
Toshi took a deep breath and opened his eyes. Kieko was standing before him. "Kieko," Toshi said. She towered a little below him. She was smiling.
"You look surprised to see me," she said. Toshi laughed.
"Well yeah. I have no clue where this is or what happened after he fought Uni and Ios," he said. Kieko shook her head.
"We shouldn't think about those things right now. Let's just have some fun right now," she said.

[ArunueShekamari]

Arunue was breathing heavy. She saw Gaitei and heard him. But she couldn't bring herself to say anything or go to him. Barely, she felt Garren's presence. Just barely. But it was hidden. Suddenly Arunue ran in the oposite direction. she couldn't bring herself to face him if what she felt was wrong. Hiroshi sighed and grabbed Gaitei, slung him over his shoulder and ran after Arunue. "Damnitt! 'Runue stop!" He yelled. Gaitei kicked him in the gut and struggled out of his hold. By then Arunue had him by the back of the shirt and up in the air. Hiroshi was laughing and smacked Gaitei on the side of the head, making him pass out. Arunue put him down. "Nice job Hiro! He'll be out for a week." Arunue said sarcastically with that crazy sideways smile. "Oh shush." He said, pulling Gaitei up to a tree, and leaning him against it.

[Box Hoy]

Toshi sat in a cafe with Kieko. "Have you seen any of the others," he asked? She shook her head. Toshi sighed. "I think I know how we can find them," he said.
Kieko looked up as Toshi stood. He closed his eyes and felt for their presences again. "Yes. I can feel their presence. If we follow what I see we'll find them," he said.
Kieko looked to her side to see an axe coming her way. She ducked as it went flying through the window. The glass shattered and scattered all over the room.
Toshi looked out to see where the axe had come from.
A man with stood in the square. He had a hat over his head but he looked up. Two familiar red eyes shone from under the hat.
Toshi instantly recognized the eyes. "Rayne," Toshi said. Kieko looked out to see someone in reseblence to Rayne. She raised her eyebrow. Why would Rayne have tossed an axe at her.
"Come out her Toshi Kodurama," said Rayne.
Toshi opened the door to the cafe. He walked out with his sword drawn. Rayne smiled. "You'll never change Toshi," Rayne said.
People were staring at them. Toshi walked towards Rayne until he was close enough to fist fight. "What are you doing here Rayne," Toshi asked.
The supposed Rayne took off his at. The same black hair shone off of the light.
"How'd you know it was me," Rayne said. Toshi smiled.
"Your appearance can't be hidden," Toshi said. Rayne grinned at Toshi. "You've finally awoken," he said. Toshi looked confused.
"What do you mean I've awoken," Toshi said. Rayne put his hat back on and circled Toshi.
"Let's take this elsewhere," Rayne said.

[ArunueShekamari]

Hiroshi nibbled on some of the last bread they had left. "Damn, this is disgusting." He said with a scowl at the stale bread. "Yeah, Hiro, the bread is almost as stale as your attitude." Arunue remarked. Hiroshi mumbled something under his breath. Arunue snickered. She then looked at Gaitei. He was out cold. "So, ya think this is Garren?" Hiroshi asked her. "Yeah. But how did you--" Hiro cut her off. "I sensed it too." Was all he said before going back to chewing on the stale bread. After he finished eating, Hiro leaned up against a tree and went to sleep. Arunue gave her wikked smile and wached him sleep.

When his eyes opened, Hiro realized he was laying in the grass. He sat up and looked around. Gaitei was still unconsious. Arunue wasn't in sight. "Up here, hirooooo!" he heard arunue yell. He looked up. Arunue smiled at him from a treebranch about 50 feet up. she then jumped down and Hiroshi had to jump out of the way to avoid being stomped. "Damn bitch..." Hiro said to himself as he wiped the grass stains off his shirt. He heard a slight moan and he looked over to see Gaitei waking up.

[Muad'Dib]

[COLOR=DarkOliveGreen]Gaitei slowly gained consciousness, head still throbbing from the impact. He groaned and put a hand on his head, not even opening his eyes. [i]'What the hell was that about...?'[/i] he thought to himself.
His senses began to tingle, but not from waking up. He whipped out a hand in time to catch Hiroshi's, not but three inches from his face and about to snatch his shirt to pull him up. Gaitei just loved his awareness ability. He opened his eyes and looked around before Hiroshi pulled his hand away and scowled at him.
"Who the hell are you?"
"Funny," Hiroshi said, "I was gonna ask you the same thing." Gaitei was somewhat less than amused.
"None a' your damn business..." Gaitei put his hand back where his head throbbed and closed his eyes.
"Then I don't have to tell you who I am." Hiroshi said sarcastically, "Fair enough." He reached for Gaitei again, and he wasn't prepared this time, "But you're coming with us anyway."
"Aaaye! Let me down will ya?" Gaitei practically squirmed in Hiroshi's grip.
"Give it a rest Hiro." Arunue finally spoke up. Gaitei's eyes shifted instantly to Arunue, almost as if by instinct. He was suddenly struck by how beautiful she was.[/COLOR]

[ArunueShekamari]

Arunue smiled at him. Not a loving smile but her crazy sideways smile. "Kid, Lemme tell ya...." She began. Hiroshi droped Gaitei to the ground but didn't let go of him. "You'r gunna come with us. And you'r gunna know why. You'r gunna enjoy yourself. And you'r not gunna ask questions. Got that?" Gaitei just looked at her for a minute. Then nodded wordlessly. Hiroshi shook his head an smiled. "Got any food?" He asked Gaitei. He suddenly snapped back to reality. "Um, no. I have no food." he said uneasily. Hiroshi sighed then let go of him and handed him a peice of bread. "Make it last." was all he said. Arunue shook her head at her brothers rash behaviour and gathered up her coat and wepons, wich she had taken off of her belt so she could move more easily. Gaitei finished the bread thankfully and continued to look at arunue. She glanced at him and he looked away. "We need to get going." Hiroshi anounced. Arunue nodded and continued to walk with him. Gaitei stayed for a second. He was about to leave but something drew him to them. Drew him to Arunue. "Yo!" She yelled at him. "Come on." Gaitei followed behind silently, all the time, watching Arunue. "Whats your name, kid?" Hiroshi asked Gaitei. He was silent for a moment the answered uneasily, "G-gaitei." Arunue smiled at the sound of his name. She shook her head and sighed. "Do you recognize the name 'Garren'?" she asked. Gaitei stoped and put his hand to his forehead in pain. "I'll take that as a yes." Hiroshi said smugly. "Ya okay?" Arunue asked. Gaitei looked up and nodded. "Yes. I'm fine," he said. Arunue smiled. "My name's Arunue," she said softly. Gaitei looked at her and took a deep breath. "......I know....." he said softly, almost to himself. Arunue smirked. "Glad to hear it." She said. Hiroshi cleared his throat. Arunue looked at him. "Lets go!" He said impatiently in his deep superiour-like voice. Arunue nodded and continued to walk. Gaitei, once again, followed.

OCC: Dude! You changed the story so much! I'll just have to patch it up so that it can be understood by our readers.

IC: As Toshi, Rayne and Kieko walked down the street, none of them recognized the technology. Obviously it was much more advanced than that which they were used to, but why were they here? As they walked, Kieko, closest to the road, bumped into a man with night black hair, a handsome Italian face, flowing black leather armor long coat with red leather in style with the coat and thick pants with a black leather belt, slightly tan complexion and handsomely muscle toned.

"Ey!" he said with an Italian accent, annoyed, she had bumped him into the street where he was waiting to cross the road, the streets were almost emptied of the rainwater they had gathered from the storm a few hours previously, "watch where the hell you're goin'- huh?" He said as his eyes finally looked at Kieko. She stopped and looked at him, they stared at each other dazedly for a moment, then the man said "... I- I know you, don't I?" Kieko swallowed hard, he knew her and she knew him, but he didn't look the same, finally she introduced herself. "Kieko?" said the man, quietly, "then that must be... Rayne... and- Toshi." Finally the confidence came back to his voice "Nice to meet ya! I'm Isisku Ojima, but you can call me Izzy." He shook hands with the three, who were all startled, who was this stranger, really?

Toshi finally recognized him, "Riv!" he exclaimed, "is that you?"

Everything seemed to stop... the wind ceased, the gazes of many passers by fixed on Toshi, then Riv. Izzy's voice quieted once more, "Don't call me that, somehow I know that's my name but I've already used it as a ringname in pro swordfighting and got run out for cheating that I didn't do, don't call me that 'kay?"

"Let us go then, before some of these people come at you."

_____________________________*___________________________

Far away, in dimensions unknown by man, Uni and Ios stopped their destruction and met, "They've awoken, we must tell Hawk," said Uni to Ios. "All these infinities that the beings in them call the Universe are so weak, I'm bored and tired of destroying them."

OCC: We'll meet Yeix later.

[Box Hoy]

Rayne gripped a his drink. He took a gulp and looked to Toshi, Kieko, and Izzy. "So I'll explain this plain and simple. You remember the battle with Uni and Ios right," Rayne asked?
Toshi nodded. Rayne closed his eyes and took another drink. "Well. From what I've found the Norns pretty much erased the universe and all existence with it. Something however began reconstructing the universe. It's still a mystery how we are still here to me but I think the naswer can be found," Rayne explained.
"I woke up three years ago and I've been searching for everyone. I found you but you weren't awake so I kept you in hideaway. I guess I was gone when you woke up," Rayne continued.
Kieko looked to Toshi. "Are you okay," she asked? Toshi nodded.
"How'd you find this out Rayne," Toshi asked. His face had questions spread all over it. Rayne leaned back in his chair.
It was obvious he couldn't explain right now.
He looked at Toshi. "Sorry. If I explained how I know right now, you'd get too confused," Rayne said. Toshi nodded.

"Whaddya say we get going. We've got to find the others," Kieko said. Rayne let the chair he was leaning in fal lto the ground.
"Great idea. Toshi here should be able to find them," Rayne said. Izzy smiled.

OOC: Why am I always late for these RPGs nowadays?

IC:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[color=purple]In a completely different part of the universe, Celestia woke up on a small planet somewhere, the same one she stayed on ever since she was transported there from another universe. Immediately, several thoughts descovered this and flooded her mind instantly. The thoughts were mostly sad memories of her friends, of her family, and of her adventures since she ran away from home. Feelings of loneliness and depression came as well, and all of these combined made Celestia cry slightly. She desperately tried to clear her mind and calm herself down, but it was no use. The happiest memory she could think of was her times with her sister, but as she tried to picture her, she failed. This made Celestia cry even harder. She looked towards a dark red star, almost thinking of ending her life.

But a few minutes later, Celestia heard a voice in her head. She closed her eyes and listened some more.
"Celestia! ...It's me, Toshi! You remember me, right? Well, I'm here with Riv--who used to be Riv--and everyone else... We're on another quest, so wherever you are, please come."
Celestia froze at this. At first she could not believe it that Toshi and the others were still alive. Then she smiled and looked around at the sky. "How am I going to get there?" she thought. She got up and walked around, noticing something nearby. All the time she looked up at the stars, thinking about when she did that same thing before, right before she met her first real friends. Suddenly, she fell into a hole which seemed bottomless. But she smiled and looked down--she was falling right into a wormhole! What seemed like all the universes spun around her for a while, and then there was nothing, then...

The next thing Celestia knew, she was in some sort of mini-city, on top of a short building. She got up and walked to the edge, and looking down, she saw Toshi and the others walking along, talking amongst themselves.
"Who should we find first?" Kieko asked.
"I don't know," Toshi answered. "I tried to contact Celestia, but I don't know if she'll come..." he began to trail off. He noticed some confused faces and quickly muttered, "Oh well, um... never mind." But as soon as he said this, Rayne pointed to a spot ahead of the group. A girl had apparently jumped from a building and landed on the ground gracefully. Rayne looked confused, but Toshi looked surprised.
"Whoa, that was fast..." Toshi muttered.
"Toshi. Long time, no see," Celestia greeted. "And--wait, don't tell me--Kieko, Rayne, and Ri--oh sorry... Izzy."
"What happened?" Izzy asked.
"Eh, long and depressing story..." Celestia answered in a sad tone. "Hm... I think we have a couple more to find..."
"Then let's go," Kieko suggested.

[i]Meanwhile...[/i]

"Don't cry, little girl, your mew mama's got you," said a sinister-looking woman. She turned away from the girl she was holding and looked at a crystal ball that was on a shelf. Through it she saw who she thought were Uni and Ios, but their appearances changed all the time in that orb, so she was not sure. "One day, I shall travel to that dimension," she thought.

While the woman was thinking about that, the girl broke free of her grip and tried to free herself from a magic rope tied around her hands and mouth. She wriggled her hands a bit, but that made the rope catch on fire. The girl ran around wildly, and it was after this that the woman noticed her, pointed at her, whispered, "Kami ti telu..." and then watched the girl as she walked towards her and fell to the floor. "I should try contacting her again... maybe she'll answer..." the girl thought. "...No signal... No signal... No signal... No signal... DRAT!!!"
"Hehheh, you feeble-minded mouse," the woman sneered, "desperately calling for help, begging like a dog and weak as a kitten... Your girlfriend isn't the only one that can sense your thoughts." She then turned away again. "Soon," she thought, "that girl will act as bait for the supposed heroes... soon, we will meet face to face... soon, the infinities will fall, and the forces of chaos shall join..."[/color]

[Box Hoy]

Uni stopped before his father Hawk. Ios trailed and stopped also. Hawk looked to them from under his hood. Ios looked to Hawk with a suspision that his father had finally figured out how to keep the universe form turning back.
"My sons. You've done so much over all these years and noiw your work will be completed. I have finally found out how the universes reconstruct themselves," Hawk said
"As you also probably know, oour enemies have finally awoken. I've been monitoring them and it seems that they are trying to regroup. I want you two to stop them," Hawk said.

----

The group passed over a hill. Rayne looked back to see the city from afar. "So Izzy," he said turning his head to look at his reincarnated friend.
"What's that cities name anyway," he asked? Izzy kept walking looking forward.
"It's called Laderia," Izzy said. "It's the biggest trading post in all of this country," Izzy said.
Rayne held his axe over his shoulder as he walked. "Toshi. Can you sense the presence of Arunue and Hiroshi," he asked?
Toshi closed his eyes. Celestia looked at Toshi. He'd grown up so much since when they'd fought Morak together. Toshi opened his eyes.
"They're still so far," Toshi said.

Izzy crossed his arms. "Arunue. Hiroshi. Why do these names sound so familiar," he asked?

[Muad'Dib]

[COLOR=DarkOliveGreen]Gaitei lagged behind, unsure as to why he was following these two. Not to mention the fact that he knew Arunue's name... and he was drawn to her irresistably. Very strange indeed. She seemed so familiar it almost disturbed him. And who was Garren? Even thinking about the name made a reaction in his head.
Gaitei finally spoke out, "Where are we going anyway?"
Hiroshi turned his head and smiled awkwardly at him, "To find the others."
"Other wha-"
"Hurry up, you're slowin' us down." Hiroshi said before Gaitei could finish.
[i]'Jerk.'[/i] Gaitei thought. He started walking a little faster, catching up slightly to the two of them. Once again, he found his eyes drawn to Arunue, her form occupying his mind. Tiny flickers of lost memories shot through his head - another world, a group of people, Arunue and Hiroshi among them, a child. Gaitei couldn't make sense of it all.[/COLOR]

[Box Hoy]

OOC- Time for some action.

IC-
Clouds started to pass over. Rayne looked up at the sky. "It's going to start raining soon," he said. Toshi looked to the sky as well.
Celestia looked out all around for shelter in these plains. Something caught her eye in the distance. "Hey look. Over there. It's a forest," she said.
Toshi turned. He had to squint to see it but indeed it was there. "What are we waiting for then. Let's go," Kieko said. She took off. Toshi smiled.
An old memory came to his mind. When he had first set off to fight Morak he and Veil had ecountered a really steep hill. She just took off and then he did. They ended up tumbling and landing on top of each other.
"Toshi come on," Celestia beckoned. Kieko was already further than anybody else. "Alright," Toshi said.
He ran off.

Above them the skies were getting more and more cloudy. Rayne looked back. "Run faster guys," he said. Toshi turned. Something was crawling across the plains. It was big.

Toshi unsheathed his sword and stopped. He turned. Rayne stopped to see what Toshi was doing. Over the hill they had just passed came a large black leg. Then another. Two more. And another two.

Toshi's eyes widened. Some sort of large black insect had come out of nowhere. Rayne came running up to Toshi. "Come on. We can't beat that thing right now," he said.
Toshi noddded and started to run. But not before something dropped down before him. One of the insects legs. Toshi looked up to see it.

Toshi backed up and lauched off from the ground. He drove his sword into the insects leg. The insect lifted its leg while Toshi's sword was still in it. Toshi went flying without his sword.
It remained in the insect. "Damnit," Toshi yelled. Rayne walked up next to him. "Guess we jave no choice. Let's fight," he said.

[ArunueShekamari]

Arunue sighed. She was tired. "You'r starting to slouch, 'Runue." Hiro said, noticing her bad posture. "Yeah, yeah. I know, Hiro. I'm just a bit tired." She replied. Hiroshi smirked and quickly swooped down behind her and picked her up. Arunue laughed and got comfortable in her brothers arms. "We can't have my 'Runue getting tired, now, can we?" He said with a laugh. Then quickly added, "Damnitt, kid, hurry up, I don't trust you behind us." Gaitei scowled then walked beside him. He shot a quick glance at Arunue. She was already asleep. His gaze was fixed on her. Hiroshi rasied an eyebrow and cleared his throat. "Uh..sorry." Gaitei said, looking at the ground. Hiroshi smiled and shook his head. "I'm suprised we havent had to draw our swords yet." hiroshi said, more of to himself than to Gaitei. They were both silent after that.

"Have ya noticed that the forest is getting thinner?" Gaitei asked, after a few minutes. Hiroshi nodded, looking around to the trees, wich were starting to get farther apart. More light was getting through the treetops too. Arunue stirred in his arms, waking up. "Have a nice nap, hun?" Hiroshi asked her. She laughed and nodded. Hiro put her on the ground and she streched her neck a bit. "Damn, I don't think I'd ever been so tired. And I had been asleep so long. It doesn't make sence." She said sleepily, "Well, looks like we're getting to the end of it, doesn't it?" Hiroshi nodded. Gaitei wached her from the corner of his eye. Arunue looked around. She felt Toshi's presence close. Others too. One she didn't know. "Hiro! Gimmie your coat." Hiroshi handed her his hooded cloth coat. She put it on, put up the hood and ran off to the side. Hiroshi followed, dragging Gaitei behind, clueless.

Arunue emerged from the forest and ran over a small hill. She spotted a group of people a few yards away, fighting a giant....bug? Hiroshi and Gaitei caught up with her. "Stay here." She said to the two. She then drew her sword and ran twords them. "Hey!" She yelled. Toshi looked around, only to be pinned to the ground by one of the insects legs. Arunue ran to him, sliding and holding out her sword, cutting the leg off. She still had her hood up. She was hoping they wouldn't have time to realize who she was while fighting. Toshi gathered up his sword and charged the beast. Arunue slid under it and shoved her sword up into its stomach. She turned her sword inside of it. Before she could take the blade out, Rayne slashed at its head, decapitating it. It fell on Arunue.
"Who the hell was that?" Izzy asked. The dead insect suddenly fliped over from Arunue kicking it up. Toshi walked to her, trying to figure out who she was. Arunue shook his hand. "Aye, Toshi!" she said. Toshi's face lit up. "Arunue!" She smiled and put her hood down. Hiroshi slid down to them, dragging Gaitei behind him. "Yo!" he yelled.


OCC- *dies from over typing*

[Muad'Dib]

[COLOR=DarkOliveGreen]OOC: You call that over-typing? Come [i]on[/i]...
~~~

Gaitei was dragged irritably behind Hiroshi, crossing his arms. As he came up to the others, Hiro let go of Gaitei, letting him fall to the ground. [i]'Thanks a lot jack-ass.'[/i] He thought. He stood up and dusted himself off. Looking around, almost every person there looked familiar in one way or another. [i]'Well that's just freakin' great...'[/i]

Toshi and the others exchanged greetings with everyone, and left Gaitei looking confused. Kieko looked over at him, "Who's this?"
Gaitei looked up her, about to answer when Hiro responded instead, "He's Gaitei. We think he's Garren." Gaitei cringed at the name again, and Kieko and the others got a confused look in his place.
"You mean..."
"Yup." Arunue cut in, "Garren was reincarnated instead of reborn or whatever happened to us... well, and Riv."
"Will you stop saying that name?!" Gaitei held his head.[/COLOR]

[ArunueShekamari]

OCC-Yes, that was a lot of typing for me.

IC-
"Yeah. Garren's reancarnation." Hiroshi said. Gaitei was getting frustrated. Arunue laughed and sat in the grass. "He's not Garren. He may be his reincarnation but he's certenly not Garren, no matter how much any of us want him to be," she said, disapointing herself. "Eh, so Riv was reincarnated to? Damn," she said, changing the subject. Toshi nodded. Arunue smiled and took a ciggeret out of a pack she had been saving and lit it up. "Sence whene do you smoke?" Toshi asked. "Sence now. And who the fuck is this?" she pointed to Celestia.

[COLOR=DarkOliveGreen]Gaitei sat down in the grass as well, though further away from the others. He mumbled something about no appretiation and put his arms around his legs, laying his head sideways on top. [i]'Who the hell is G- that guy anyway?'[/i] he stopped himself from thinking name to avoid causing himself pain. He sulked for a while, subconsciously listening to the others talk amongst themselves. This whole situation sounded really depressing... at least it did to Gaitei. Then again, a lot of things sounded depressing to him.

When he came back to reality, he found he was looking at Arunue again. Quickly looking away (hopefully she hadn't noticed) he wondered what drew him to her in the first place. Maybe it was this Garren.

He looked around - it seemed to be getting dark, and not because of the rainclouds. [i]'Well that's fine with me.'[/i] He could see in the dark anyway, so maybe the night would be a good chance to escape... but no. He didn't want to escape... he didn't want to leave... Arunue. How odd.[/COLOR]

Celestia smiled. "Hi. My name's Celestia," she said. Toshi looked to Arunue and rolled his eyes as she inhaled the smoke from her ciggerette.
"Nice to meet you," Arunue said while taking another drag. She was obviously more concentrated on it then anyone else. Celestia looked at Toshi and gace somewhat of a bizzare look.
Hiroshi walked up and put his hand on Toshi's shoulder. "Been awhile he said," Hiroshi said. Toshi gave a faint smile. He was still a little angry at Hiroshi for stabing him back in Sera.
Arunue looked up from her ciggerette to the two seeing the small conflict between their gazes."What do you say we set up a camp. We have a lot of catching up to do," she said.

The night sky was clear. The moon shone down on the camp. They'd set up on the edge of the forest. A fire was going and the group was in deep convesation.
Izzy looked over to Gaitea. So they were both reincarnations of former people who had known this group. Rayne was explaining to the two what had happened trying to see if either would be able to remember their past.

"So you see. The Norns sacrificed themselves to eliminate Uni and Ios from existence. And thus making letting this universe reconstruct itself and bringing peace," he concluded.
Gaitea nodded. "So in my past life I was someone named Garren," he said. Arunue nodded knowing that this reincarnation used to be her lover.

[color=purple]Everyone except Celestia listened to Rayne's story fully except Celestia, who had a vision of her sister for a while and was thus distracted. She sighed after all was said; she could find out the rest by doing a little mind-reading...

The group was apparently sharing what happened since all these new changes came to the universes. At least that's what Celestia guessed, because Izzy asked, "So what happened to [i]you[/i] after the fight with Morak?" Celestia's head disappeared from the clouds, and she struggled with finding what to say while she answered, "Not much. Got separated from my friends, sister, stuff like that... ended up on this faraway planet completely depressed... heard a call from Toshi and came here..." She was actually thinking about the vision she had just seen; she saw who she thought were Uni and Ios, in one of their forms, and they had just destroyed this one small universe or realm--it was a fairly unimportant world completely inhabited by animals and creatures... However, some escaped, and they completely transformed, frogs into spiders, rats into elephants, insects into reptiles, and other changes. Btu something in that vision had caught her interest... that destruction had a great impact on a nearby world, a world that many of the group recognized as their home... That world was shrouded in darkness; a certain group of people managed to prevent it from being destroyed. She also saw a tiny, isolated world where only two people existed, and it was there that she noticed a future bond with Uni and Ios, as well as someone she knew...

By the time Celestia's thoughts passed, the rest of the group had fallen asleep, and a half-hour later, so did she.

[i]Meanwhile...[/i]
"That little pest has just been freed from her loneliness..." said the same villainous woman with the crystal ball-thingy. This time, Celestia appeared in it, as well as the legendary group. "You may have gotten lucky, little girl," she shouted, turning to her little captive, "but she has not seen enough to know you are here with me. And here you'll stay, until I decide to destroy you that is. Leave that to the members of the chaotic dimension..." As she was about to walk away, something else appeared in the sphere--a young woman was walking around in a dark cave, looking for something or someone. "WHAT?!" the vilain screamed. "There's no way, hope she doesn't find the others... THIS IS A NIGHTMARE!!! Huh, I see I'll have to visit their realm someday if all else fails..."

Far away, Celestia was having a dream about an old friend...[/color]

The man's red hair flew everywhich way. He wore a long black robe. He wore nothing under this. His pants were gray. This was Shakia.
Arunue's old nemesis. He smiled at the group sleeping in their little camp. Shakia withdrew a sword. He approached Arunue. "This is my revenge Cascade," he said.
He let the blade fall at Arunue but something hit it making the blade fly out of Shakia's hands. Toshi stood with his sword drawn. "Not today," Toshi said.
Shakia smirked. "Where'd you come from," he said. Toshi eyed Shakia's every single movement.
"I felt your dark presence," Toshi said.

Shakia walked to his sword and picked it up. "I'm guessing you're wondering how I returned," he said. Toshi watched Shakia walk back towards him.
"I returned with the reconstruction of this universe," he said. "The desire to get my revenge let me stay myself."

Shakia approached Toshi and held his sword out. "Now maybe I should start my revenge elsewhere," he said.

[Muad'Dib]

[COLOR=DarkOliveGreen]Gaitei was awake on the ground, staring absently at the dark sky, made clear by his dark vision. He never really slept much, being more of a night person in the first place. His senses pinged again, and his eyes darted to where Arunue was sleeping. A form stood over her... that was bad. Suddenly, Toshi was there too, and he heard them talking to each other.

So there's old nemesis... just perfect. Gaitei stood up slowly, hidden in the dark. Toshi and this new enemy circled each other menacingly, and Shakia struck out. It was a fair match, both being almost silent. Almost. Gaitei was used ot sneaking around... Shakia never sensed him coming up behind him. He jumped on Shakia's back, quickly and preciselywrapping his hands tightly around his throat.

Gaiteis legs were wrapped around Shakia's stomach, his hands choking him and has arms keeping Shkia's arms down. He leaned his head in close, whispering as Shkia's breath ran out, "When you wake up, never come back." Shakia soon passed out, Toshi looking half glad and half surprised.

Gaitei sat down cross legged and looked up at Toshi. "In my past life... when I was 'Garren'... what was with me... and Arunue?" Toshi almost laughed, sitting down across from Gaitei, "Well, there's quite a story behind that..."[/COLOR]
