... Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 Sam entered her room... it was quiet, and cold... something she wasn't disagreeable with... but it still left her feeling... sad. For some reason, her powers were not that gift her mother always called it... "I couldn't save them...." she whispered. The colors in the room were warm colors, but it brought tears to her eyes... nothing felt warm anymore.... nothing. Everyone she loved died.... and nothing could save them. She often wondered why try to save anyone... but she knew why she always did. Somehow... she tried saving people to justify her failure with her family... she couldn't protect those she loved... even when she wanted so desperately to... She went out of her room... it brought nothing but hard feelings... it was later in the night, and she heard screams.... it was in Jun's room. She went to the door and debated whether she should go in. He hated her... that was no mistake. But something bothered her about letting him scream... he was obviously sleeping... she waited a second more until she heard another scream, and then a crash on the floor. She opened the door and a burning dresser flew right toward her. Using her powers, she stopped the dresser and cooled the flame. She looked over at Jun and he was sitting on the floor facing the window. The flames were slowly burning the curtains. The walls were made of stone, and were not lighting on fire... she cooled the flames on the curtains and Jun turned around. She stared back at him... and waited for a response... but he gave none. She looked at him, with concern in her eyes... and smiled weakly... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blayze Posted January 23, 2005 Author Share Posted January 23, 2005 Zack sat on the balcony of his room, legs dangling off the side, with his angel standing close by. He stared into the distance, deep in thought. "I'm never going to be able to do this, you know," he said, "They don't trust me. That's all I need, and I don't have it." "Well, if you want their trust, maybe you have to gain it," replied the angel. "But how am I supposed to do that?" "Well, if you show them how to control their powers, then they will have some trust in you. If they think that you're an enemy, then showing them how to become more powerful should prove that you're not. It didn't take you long to master your powers, and that Lyon character has as well. Maybe he can help you." "I guess so. I'll start in the morning. They still need to find their angels, though. They can start on that tomorrow as well." Suddenly, Sam burst into Zack's quarters, looking flustered. "Help, Zack! Jun's set his room on fire!" Zack sighed and got up. He ran to Jun's room, and saw the flames flickering around the room. "Where's Lyon?" he shouted, "We need him here! Sam, go and fetch him. Angel, can you fetch some buckets of water please." Sam ran to find Lyon, and the angel rushed away to get some water. Zack ran into the room, through the fire, and picked up Jun, who was lying on the floor. He hauled him into a fireman's lift and carried him out of the chamber. As he came out, Lyon and Sam came rushing from one direction, and the angel came from the other, carrying buckets of water. "Lyon! Can you put the fire out?" asked Zack. "Of course," said Lyon calmly. He reached out , and water flew from the buckets to his hands, where huge bubbles formed. He threw these at the fire, and they burst, putting the fires out. "Thank you," said Zack. "No problem," said Lyon. He walked off, back to his room. "I guess Jun is going to need a new room, then," said Zack, "Now go back to your bed, Sam, we have a big day ahead of us tomorrow." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heero Darkangel Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 OOC: SHIT!...did I set my room alite??? IC: Jun awoke a few minutes later to find Zack looking at him. Jun sat up and looked around 'How'd I.....what the????.....oh hell,' whispered Jun 'You set your room alite. it's all burnt,' spoke Zack. Jun looked at him and then fell back down on the bed 'Oh..great,' Jun mumbled as he ran his fingers through his hair, 'how'd I get here?' 'i carried you in,' replied Zack. Jun then quickly sat up and looked at him 'what?' spoke Jun with a rised brow 'I carried you in,' Zack repeated Jun slowly got out of the bed, 'Why'd you do that?' 'You would of been burned alive if I didn't,' replied Zack as he raised his eye brows, 'You would of died by the smoke,' 'I guess......now I owe you one,' whispered Jun loud enough for Zack to hear 'Don't need to sound so ungreatful,' snapped Zack Jun looked over his shoulder, he stood up and walked to the window and looked out 'It's not that.....I just don't trust anyone...and I don't think that you'd understand,' spoke Jun as he cocked his head to the side and looked at Zack 'Is there anyone you do trust?' questioned Zack 'No....I don't even trust myself,' replied Jun, 'I'm going for a walk,' Zack watched Jun walk to the door 'Th......thank you,' whispered Jun as he walked out. Jun slowly walked along the corridors constantly stopping to view the carved stone pictures. A wall mounted flaming torch sat burning all alone on the wall, there were few and far between. Jun then held out his hand and the the flame instantly jumped from the wall to his hand, it then began to trail from his hand and around his body and then back to his hand, as soon as it was back in his palm and blew at it softly and it jumped back onto the torch. He smiled and then carried on walking. Each torch he walked passed lit up, lighting the darken corridor behind him. This was one passion of his...playing with fire.....

Blayze Posted January 23, 2005 Author Share Posted January 23, 2005 Morning came around, and Zack got everyone up bright and early. They ate breakfast, trying to recover themselves, and then met up in the training area. "Morning everyone," said Zack, "Hope everyone slept well, except those who I know didn't!" He began walking up and down the row of people. "Today we're going to try and improve our control over our powers. Jun, you need to pay attention closely. We don't want any more rooms burnt down." He moved over to the training mats, and signalled for everyone else to do the same. They did, and he said: "Ok, first we need to see what you can do. Everyone just use your power as you have been using it." They did as he asked. Jun's flame burnt uncontrollably, Sam just about managed to control her powers, Isabelle's power was used expertly, but Lyon was the best. He controlled his power with expertise. He had been specially trained to do just that, though, so it wasn't a fair trial. "Ok, not bad," said Zack, "Now we're going to work on some fine control. You see that target over there?" he pointed to a target at the other end of the room, easily four hundred metres away, "Jun, you have to burn right through the bullseye. Don't hit any other part of it, though." It took a few tries, and about a dozen targets, but Jun managed it in the end. Even he couldn't help but seem pleased. "Well done, Jun!" shouted Zack as the flame shot from Jun's finger burnt right through the target. "Now, Isabelle. I want you to pick up one of the weapons from the weapon rack and bring it over to you, using your power." Isabelle concentrated hard on an axe on the weapon rack, and it juddered. A slight breeze blew around the room, and then the axe lifted up. It floated gracefully through the air and came to a rest in Isabelle's hand. "That's good. Now I want you to see if you can lift yourself up with wind. Concentrate on lifting your feet first, and then just keep your body upright. Go." She stared at her feet, concentrating until veins started popping out of her temples. Then she jolted into the air. Before she knew it, she was floating high above the others. She was so happy with herself that she couldn't stop herself from laughing out loud. She came back to earth with a slight bump. "Now, Sam, I want you press your hand down on the ground." She did what he asked. "Now I want you to concentrate on the ground, and find the life-force of a plant, then bring it up through the ground." She knelt on the floor for at least 10 minutes, with her eyes closed. When she stood up, and took her hand off the ground, a small flower had poked through the earth and sprung into bloom. "Well done, people! Good work," said Zack. "Um, Zack," said Sam politely, "Can we see you use your power? It might help inspire us." "Sure thing, Sam," replied Zack. He turned to one of the targets at the end of the room, pointed his finger at it, then shot a tiny bolt of electricity out of the tip of his finger. It flew through the air, and made a hole straight through the bullseye. Then, he jumped into the air, and began to fly around the room on a wave of electricity. When he came back to earth, the others cheered for him. He bowed, as if he had just performed some circus act. "Ok, lunchtime. After lunch you begin the search for your angels." They broke for lunch.

Kairi Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 Lyon loved looking at all the others train...witnessing in awe their powers. He had never seen any one like him perform such feets. He enjoyed Isabelles the most...as the breeze swept through the room as she assended into the air...it felt like the wind of the sea back home. It was one of his greatest memories...standing on the ocean beach, looking out beyond the horizon. The smell of the sea all around him...the wind blowing through his hair, cooling his face after a hard days work. As he stood there with his arms crossed....looking up at Zack performing...all he could do was laugh. He clapped like everyone else...quite amazing really...as was everyone elses. All of them...just simple humans...working marvels before all of their eyes. When Zack had finally finished his demonstraction...Lyon picked up his staff and began to psych. himself up for his turn. "Ok, lunchtime.'' [I]What...what about me???[/I] ''After lunch you begin the search for your angels." [I]But...[/I] Instead Lyon just kept it to himself... [I]I guess it's not a big deal...maybe we just didn't have enough time. [/I] Strangly though...Lyon felt hurt. He had traveled all this way to find them, hoping to become part of the team. But since he got here...everyone had been focusing on Jun...obviously Sam was involved with him on some level...Isabelle really didn't talk much...and Zack was too preoccupied about leading everyone. [I]Wouldn't the most important thing to do to get to know one another...to form bonds and connections with one another to become a team. Then training would be so much more enjoyable and effective. Things just seem to be moving so fast...[/I] [I]I might as well let it go...maybe things are different here in this country than it is in my own. Ah well...[/I] All of them left...heading for the mess hall. Everyone else was still getting their food when Lyon took a seat with his dinner. He had chosen a roast beef sandwich and some chicken. He had never eaten roast beef before...nor this drink called mountain dew before. After he took a moment to meditate upon his meal; he began to eat...and found both to be quite enjoyable and tasty. [I]Oh my fellow brothers of the order...your all missing out [/I] as he laughed to himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
... Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 Sam smiled at what she had learnt... she had no clue she could maneuver life and the earth in such ways... then her smile faded as quickly as it had come... she could bring plants to life... but she was unable to give her family the same. She looked to the side and noticed Isabelle eating.... she reminded her of her mother's grace... when she used her powers... her mother was beautiful... and was always calm and serene... she had that queenlike personality, that made you look at her with respect... She got up and walked around for a while... she played with her powers, trying to learn other things with it... she sat under an oak tree and smiled when she used her powers to bring it to life... the ground around her flourished and it made her feel.... useful.... She saw Jun not too far away and debated whether she should go up to him. "Damn it Sam, when have you been afraid to confront anyone??" she asked herself. She walked over and he just stared at her. She knew she was disturbing his silence. But she wasn't the kind to just give up. "How are you feeling?" she asked. He turned around completely at the comment. "About what?" "About last night..." she said softly... for some reason he intimidated her... it wasn't something she was used to feeling... no one intimidated her... "How did you know about that???" he asked surprised and angrily as if she had pryed into his business. "I found you... don't you remember?" she asked confused. "I remember Zack. I don't remember you at all." he said turning around again. She stared at him for a while shocked... and slightly hurt. "I'm sorry for bothering you." she said as she turned around and left. She hated feeling this way... this was why she couldn't attach herself to people... she always does something wrong. She walked across the field in the back and looked at the trees.... their vibrant colors mocked her... she thrust out her hand in anger and withered them before her... and smiled... she hated feeling hurt... but her powers were able to compensate for that. She wished he didn't hate her so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heero Darkangel Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 Jun didn't eat much of his lunch, he stood in the corner practising with the flaming torches on the wall, manipulating them without any effort, that was easier to do than trying to create it...he found it best when he was angry when trying to create fire. The flames swirled around him as if dancing, he had made them non-harmful so it wouldn't burn anyone, he then returned them back to their original places and turned around. He new how to control them to a certain level..but when he was angered it proved harder for him. He then sat down in a chair on the other side of the room watching everyone Sam began talking with Isabella although Isabella seemed quiet and Zack and Lyon began to talk. He turned and gazed out the window He then remembered meeting an old man while travelling around who called Jun "The flame that burns on his own", Jun didn't really know what he meant by that until now, he was quite happy to be alone only because he didn't know how to interact sociablely and joke around, he was very serious but even though he was like that.....he was happy with the way he was...even if it meant keeping others at arms length. Even though he wouldn't admit it or show it....he liked being around others who also had elemental abilities...he didn't feel as though he had to hide. which was something very new for him.

... Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 Sam decided to get her mind off of everything... she was tired of letting idiots like Jun get the best of her emotions. She went back inside of the building, and went into her room. Zack said something of their angels appearing... but she had never met hers... she was tired of waiting for her, and she felt like just giving up on the whole thing. She sat in there and realized how well the room was built for her powers. She not only could practice, but she felt the earth in the walls, the floor... it was as if she was outside. She opened the window and let the sun shine in as she sat on the floor and focused her energies on the ground. She thought to herself and wondered what kind of energies the earth itself holds... if she could grasp it... and use it for things other than... planting. She smiled.... if that was the only extent of her powers, she would be useless in battle. She stood by her window and looked at the earth. She thought about it... and wondered what in the hell she was suppose to do to summon that kind of power. The room shook... "Wrong choice in words... sorry about that... how in the "world" am I suppose to do this?" she said. She looked outside and decided to just wing it. She outstretched her hand and whithered the ground so she drained it of it's life force... gathering it's power to herself. "Do not be greedy with your powers..." she heard. She turned around and saw Zack standing there. She smiled sheepishly and returned it's power where it belonged. "I was just seeing what I could do with my powers." "They can be manacing tools of destruction, or they can be gifts for mankind." "Okay, but how in the... world... am I suppose to beat any creatures by making the flowers grow????" she said angrily. "You'll figure it out." he said as he left. "Damn idiot..." she mumbled. Her room shook. "Sorry!!!" she yelled. She jumped out her window and landed on the ground below. She hated touchy things... and she didn't need any crap from a room full of earth! She walked back and sat by herself. She hated feeling weaker than those around her. She looked at her blades. At least she had some skills, and they had NOTHING to do with powers... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redemption Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 [COLOR=RoyalBlue][FONT=Trebuchet MS]OOC: AIYA! You people post too much!!! Isabelle was surpised at how much her room suited her powers. Light blue, silver and white silk fabrics, white-washed furniture and a pine four-post bed. She felt as if this was going to be her home since her home was the streets of the city for many years past. Zack and the others were content with talking amonst themselves, leaving Isabelle out for most of the time. She didn't care. Like the wind, she was alone in the world, having nothing that could compare to it. Sitting at the edge of her bed, Isabelle felt the ground quake. Sam's doing, she assumed. " So, we have to found our angels? I hope that she is nothing like my demon." Isabelle shivered, recalling her last encounter with her demon on the roof of the cathedral. [COLOR=DimGray]Someone is at your door Mistress...[/COLOR] the wind whispered to Isabelle. A knock echoed from the wooden door. " Come in Zack." Zack entered. " How did you know it was me?" " The wind told me," Isabelle said softly. " Ah....right." " What brings you here Zack?" " I see that you are lonely most of the time. I just thought I might accompany you for the moment." " You are very kind. But I am used to being alone. I have been alone since I was born." " We have all been." Zack sat on a white-washed timber chair, facing Isabelle who dared not look into his eyes. " So...." He found it very difficult to talk to her because she would not look at him. " Yes Zack?" " What is your demon like?" he asked, not knowing if that was the right question or not. Isabelle shuddered. " My demon.....my demon is like any other. Devilish, deceiving, murderous. However, she loves taunting me and she has taken a liking to kissing me whenever we meet." Zack sat back shocked. He'd never thought Isabelle would say something like this.[/COLOR][/FONT] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
... Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 OOC: lol, I guess I just don't notice ;) Sam couldn't concentrate on using her powers. Not that that would make a difference in the progress she was making, but it would do something for her... just to get her mind off of.... less pleasant things. "Why does he bother you so?" she asked. Sam turned around. She fell backwards in surprise... fear... she didn't expect to ever meet her angel. "Why does he occupy the space in your mind?" "I don't know what you're talking about." she said angrily, turning away from the being before her. "Have I offended you? Because I did not mean to." "Oh god..." Sam said looking around in frustration. "Yes..... he is listening." the angel spoke. "No no.... oh crap...." "I am not familiar with that term... is that another name for God?" "NO!!! Absolutely not.... no.... it's um.... oh never mind." "Had I offended you?" "No... of course not." "Because the slightest mention of that man, you seem to feel agitated." "Can we talk about something else? Like who you are for starters?" "I'm your angel... isn't that obvious?" "So.... we're on the same team, right?" "In a way... I am what you are..." "Okay, enough with the riddles. I'm not really in the mood for those kind of games." "I don't play games, Samantha." "Sam please..." "Sam... I am here because you need me to be here." "Great, your my tutor?" "No... I am the part of you that you've tried so hard to forget." "OH shut up already!!! God! I mean... damn, you're annoying." "Hmm.... the reaction you get from me is different then that of his. I assume you do not view him as annoying then..." "I said get off of that SUBJECT!!!" "The man seems right for you..." "Okay, now you're making me angry..." "So you are not angry with him either... very odd for someone who tries so hard not to think about that person.... but with no reason to avoid such thoughts..." "This is great... I can't stand to be around my angel. I get along better with the demon than I do with the angel!!!! WHAT KIND OF PERSON AM I???" She threw her hands up in the air and walked out of the room. She walked down to the steps and sat with her head in her hands. Her angel came over to her and sat with her. "If you are so fond of him, why don't you tell him?" Sam looked at her with frustration. "Do you even know what he is like? It's impossible to just waltz up to a man like that and strike up a conversation." "You're mind will rest easier, and your performance will improve." she said as she left her to her thoughts....

Blayze Posted January 24, 2005 Author Share Posted January 24, 2005 "Zack," said Lyon as he caught Zack walking down the corridor, "Can I ask you a question?" "Sure thing, Lyon," replied Zack. "Why did you not let me practice with my power earlier? You let all the others use theirs." "The truth is, Lyon, I'm slightly afraid of what you can do. Water is the main element this planet is made up of, and if you get the balance of your power slightly wrong, then it could be disastrous. It could throw all the elements out of balance, and that could be cataclysmic. I'm sorry, but that's the truth." "I understand completely, Zack. I'm sorry to have wasted your time." "Not at all, Lyon. Glad to be of help." He went to his room and laid down on the bed. He was exhausted. This afternoon they could all help each other out. He would be there to help, but he couldn't do any of the work for them. "Nice little place you've put together here, Zack," said a voice from the window. Zack got up, and moved towards his weapons. "Oh no you don't, Zack," said the shadowy figure. It held it's hand out, and Zack's swords flew into it. Now he was unarmed. "You've been a thorn in my side for too long now, Zack. I will dispose of you and your friends very soon. But first, I am going to show them all the dark sides of their personalities. I am going to bring their demons to them, and you can't stop me." "Who are you?" said Zack. "Let's just say that without me, you wouldn't exist. Got it yet, little Zacky?" "Kelthor," Zack replied confidently. "In a single guess, Zack. Impressive. I am the one who brought you into being, and I am the one who will destroy you." "Not likely," said Zack. He threw a ball of electricity at Kelthor, but it simply hit his armour and dissipated, with no visible harm done to him. He laughed menacingly. "That's not going to work, Zack." He threw a ball of dark magical energy at Zack. It hit him, and threw him backwards, pinning him to the wall. "I could easily kill you now, Zack, but it is not your time." He let Zack down, and leapt out of the window, disappearing as he flew through the air. The atmosphere outside turned dark, foreboding. The demons were coming, and Zack and the others couldn't do anything to stop it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
... Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 OOC: Hope you meant more fighting, lol Sam stood up slwoly from where she sat, she heard soft whispers from the earth as time moved very slowly... she looked up in confusion as she saw the sky go dark. "This is a display of your powers..." "The sky?" she asked her angel. "No... the flow of time... because you control life on earth, you are able to let time move slowly for you...." "Are you serious? How am I doing this?" she asked lookin around. She walked over to the running water in the halls and noticed how slow the water was flowing. "You're focusing your energies on the whispers... the whispers are from the life on this earth... you're listening to them, making the time move even slower...." the angel said as she appeared at her side. "This could come handy in battle..." "Battle... or in life...." "Well what's the special effects for?" "I do not understand..." the angel said looking at her oddly. "The sky? Why is it getting darker?" "That's mainly because what is about to happen... your other form is coming." "My demon?" "Listen to the whispers, they will show you what to do..." she said as she left her. "Of all the times to leave, she picks now." Sam said under her breath. She looked outside and noticed many shadows running under the hedges. She knew they were here... she put her hand on her window pane above and climbed onto the roof where she watched as they surrounded the place. "Oh damn...." she said. "I hope the others are aware of what's going on..." she knew she wasn't ready to go against her demon, let alone stop her.... but she had to try sometime.... "You don't seem very confident." he said. She turned around and saw Jun standing behind her. "It's not that I lack confidence... I just lack the damn abilities." she said looking back down at the shroud of demons. She looked back at him and smiled. "At least I got these." she said holding her weapons. She used her powers to jump from the roof to the ground without hurting herself as she began fighting the lesser demons. She paid close attention to the whispers as they guided her in fighting.

Kairi Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 ''Zack'' cried Lyon as he ran through Zack's bedroom door. ''I felt an evil disturbance here...'' ''Prepare yourself Lyon...they're coming...you know whom I speak off.'' Lyon walked out onto Zack's balcony and looked out upon the rock surrounding the entire temple. The atmosphere was calm...but as dead as night. To the surprise of Zack, a mistifiying presence engulfed the entire room...condensing into a single being; a young woman...with bare naked skin...with long ravasing blue hair covering most of her backside. Looking at the figure before him...Zack was actually speechless, the girl was quite attractive. ''...um...'' Lyon turned around from the view outside and walked beside the woman. ''It's alright Zack...this is my angel.'' ''What...how did you?'' ''I met her while coming here to this city. She's been a guide for me in this new world...'' ''I'm glad you've met your angel so swiftly...you have heard of Kelthor haven't you Lyon...from your masters back in your homeland.'' ''That name is known to me...but the origin of its name is not...after this is all over...we must speak of it together.'' [COLOR=Blue]Lyon...he is coming...[/COLOR] ''Thank you Misty...please...hide yourself before he senses your presence here.'' [COLOR=Blue]As you wish...[/COLOR] And just like that...the being melted into the floorboards of Zack's room...desitigrating into nothing...like water being drenched on clothing. ''They're coming..aren't they.'' ''Yes...they are Lyon. We need to get everyone together to fight them off.'' ''...my other is waiting for me....find Samantha...we need her powers of Gaia to gain an advantage over the rest with this cavern.'' ''What are you gonna do?'' ''I'll be outside...I'll hold them off as long as I can...please...make haste.'' ''Understood...'' ''thank you Zack...for thinking highly of me. trust me...I will control my powers.'' And he was gone...jumping outside the window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
... Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 Sam smiled as she cut another demon with her blade. She could have used her powers, but she wasn't wanting to mess anything up... she was comfortable with her blades... Jun was fighting not too far away. She couldn't see the others, and it was bothering her... "Sam!" she heard. She looked around and saw Zack coming toward her. She cut another one just as he reached her. "How nice of you to drop in." she said with a smile that meant trouble. "Listen, we need you to use your powers against them." "Are you crazy? I'm doing fine the old fashioned way!!" she said. They finished the demons around them, and Jun walked over to them. "What's going on?" he said, wondering why they were talking when there was a fight to be done. "I'll think about it, alright?" "Think about it??" Zack said. "Why don't you use your own powers, and let me handle mine the way I want to..." she said. She walked off toward the next horde and decided to block everything he said out... she wasn't sure what to do with her powers... she wasn't as skilled as the rest of them in using them, and she didn't want to turn the tide for the rest of them... she wanted to help, and her powers were weak compared to the others. She turned around just in time to see her demon laughing at her as she almost sliced her in half. "Little distracted are we?" "Not anymore." Sam said pulling out her weapons. She fought with her demon, as she always had, without the use of her powers. They were nothing to her, and she couldn't feel the use of having them even now. But they were equals when fighting, parrying each others move as if they knew what the other was thinking... the demon smiled as Sam tired out. "Funny how mortals think they're so much better, when they're really the weakest of us all..." Sam fought her last, realizing that there wasn't much more she could give to this fight. She dropped her weapons on accident as she looked at the monster before her. "I hate you...." Sam said with tears in her eyes. "Oh but I'm everything you've become inside, Samantha dear... everything.... that you are now." she raised her blade to end Sam's life, when Sam uncontrollably used her powers. Time moved slowly as Sam backed away from her attacker, picked up her weapon and went to strike at the demon when she stopped suddenly. Jun was already there with his weapon to the demon's neck. Sam watched in horror, for she had no clue what he was going to do. Her demon disappeared, and Jun put his weapon away. "And to think I came SO close to killing two birds with one stone." he said. Sam stared at him in disbelief as he looked at her challengingly... She then smiled shortly after. "You're such an idiot." she said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kairi Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 ''REVIEL YOURSELF DEMON!'' Lyon cried out, standing outside the temple walls. Certainly Zack had found Samantha by now...but he couldn't sense her powers being used at all. [I]She's still doubting herself......I should talk to her later.....maybe.....even to teach. I must make note of this...[/I] [COLOR=DarkSlateBlue]First Lyon...you should take note of what is before you.[/COLOR] As the voice died off...serveral water demons arose all around him from the rocks. ''Obviously you've been hiding among the rocks like a coward...Poseidon'' A puddle rose in front of Lyon...forming into a tall blue figure with a white beard and hair...weilding a golden tridant in his hand. ''So...the demon of the seas finally reviels himself. Where have you been...I've been looking all over for you.'' [COLOR=DarkSlateBlue] Preparing...but my minions aren't here for you. You'll be for last Lyon...my water demons...search out Jun and cleanse him; by any means necessary.[/COLOR] As quickly as they appeared...the water elements disappeared...heading towards the entrance to the temple. ''Tell me demon, why are you after Jun?'' [COLOR=DarkSlateBlue]My master...wishes it. He feels that with my minions...he would be the quickest to take out.[/COLOR] ''But if you kill him...'' [COLOR=DarkSlateBlue]Nonsense...we merely wish to drain him of his powers...and to simply take him from your grasps.[/COLOR] ''I won't let you...come now Poseidon...we both are on equal playing fields. Neither of us can manipulate water within the Gaia's domain in this tunnel. Lets play...'' [COLOR=DarkSlateBlue]I would settle for nothing less. [/COLOR] The battle began immidiately; Lyons speed and agility with his staff was incredible. He had truly mastered his skills with the ancient weapon...however, Lyon could never hit Poseidon. His body was like water...every attack made upon him went right through him...causing no damage. But Lyon still fought hard. They were as equals, with the demon swinging and jabbing with his massive trident...Lyon blocking and countering; without their powers...there was no advantage. Lyon couldn't let Poseidon pass...for it would be Jun's doom if he did. And he would not allow that...he could only pray that his friends were holding up on their own against their demons.

... Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 Zack had gone to find Isabelle as Jun and Sam fought the rest of the demons on the south side of the Temple. Jun used his powers perfectly as he destroyed the demons coming they're way... Sam got all the ones that fell through his grasp. She wished she was more useful, but she'd have to wait until she understood the full potential of her powers. The hordes stopped coming and Sam smiled at a tired Jun. "I think that's all of them." she said. They turned to go find Zack and the others when 7 shadows came forth... they moved over the ground like puddles of fluids and went right past Samantha. Sam turned around as they engulfed Jun and covered him completely. She ran toward them and tried pulling them off of him... but it was as if they were strangling every last bit of life he had in him. She wanted to take her weapons and stab them, but their liquid bodies covered him like water, making it impossible for her to stab flesh. She backed away feeling helpless when she remembered her powers. "Damn you all!!!!" she said as she dropped her weapons and stared at them. She put her hand forth and drew all of the moisture from their bodies, making each demon frail and dry, dropping off of Jun like flies. He backed away from the last demon and set the dry beings alite, watching as they burned completely. She took the moisture inside of her hand and poured it into the ground where it belonged... She looked at Jun and smiled. "Are you alright?" He stared at her and nodded, and went back to search for Zack and the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heero Darkangel Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 Jun fought hard until the demons were gone. 'I think thats all of them,' spoke Sam who was standing not too far Suddenly seven shadows engulfed Jun 'We will take you....by any means possible' they whispered as he struggled to pull free. He felt as if he was being sufocated..he couldn't breath..his powers were beginning to drain. Suddenly they fell off him one by one...their screams echoed in his head as he clutched it in pain. He looked around and saw Sam standing there 'Are you alright?' she asked He looked at her and gave her a slight nod. She walked off first to look for Zack, Sam and Lyon He was just about to follow Sam when suddenly something grabbed him from behind. [COLOR=DarkRed]'Looking for me are we?....[/COLOR]' came a familiar voice, Jun pulled free from his grip and turned to see his demon staring at him '..hn..' grunted Jun [COLOR=DarkRed]'you don't belong here....you know it....you feel it.....I can feel you unsettleness...I feel everything you feel..actually...only the bad things...[/COLOR]' smiled the Demon as he walked towards Jun who just stood there 'Save your words for someone who cares,' growled Jun [COLOR=DarkRed]'But you know I speak the truth.....,'[/COLOR] the demon whispered as he circled Jun 'GET AWAY FROM ME!,' yelled Jun as he drew his two swords [COLOR=DarkRed]'Now don't be like that.....,'[/COLOR] smiled the demon as he stepped back, Suddenly Jun ran at him and swung his swords, He cut the demon across the chest...a cut then appeared across his and blood stained his clothes, Jun clenched his teeth against the pain and ran at him again and swung his sword cutting the demons arm, the same thing happened, Jun clutched his arm...but showed no signs of pain 'What are you!..MAD!,' roared the demon at that moment the seven shadows of water appeared behind Jun suddenly they smuthered him again...he fell over as they covered him fully.... 'GET OFF ME!!,' roared Jun as he tried to use his powers [COLOR=Navy]'Don't fight us.....we want you...master wants you...wants you all,'[/COLOR] they whispered in his ear, their voices were like angels singing as he began to stop struggling [COLOR=Navy]'We will clense you your pain...heal you from the damage within....listen to us..feel us,[/COLOR]' they whispered in harmony 'NO!' yelled Jun as he used the last bit of his energy to set them alite, they screamed and quickly let him go, they once again evaporated and jun slowly and weakly stood up, 'You bastard!!,' The Demon smiled as Jun threw his sword, but before his sword got to the demon he disappeared and the sword drove itself into a tree. Jun slowly stumbled towards the tree and gripped his sword, the shadows had drained most of his energy and he struggled to pull out his sword, he then fell back wards on the ground and lay there looking up at the sky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
... Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 Not too long after she walked off, did she notice Jun was nowhere around. "Damn it..." she said as she ran back. She went to where they were and saw him nowhere around. "He might have just left..." she said to herself. But something told her that wasn't the case.... the whispers told her that that wasn't what happened. She ran at full speed only to find Jun laying on the ground. She ran over to his side and checked his vital signs. "I'm fine..." he said weakly. She stared at him. She hated herself for leaving him... she took his hand and tried something from pure instinct. She gathered the life energies from the ground and gave the energy to him... trying to see if his powers would be restored. Slowly, she could see him gaining his strength... she knew she did very little... but he needed rest... He tried getting up but she stopped him. "You need your rest, Jun." "There's a battle out there, we can't just stop now." he said, trying to ignore the tiredness he felt. "Just sit... for a few minutes. And I promise, we'll get back up and fight. You need to recover your strength." she said. He stared at her and put his head back on the ground. "Just rest... you can't do any good in the shape you're in." she could tell he was uncomfortable with her right there, but she didn't want to go anywhere else.

Heero Darkangel Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 Jun looked at her for a moment and then looked away, he then pushed her away and stood up 'You need to rest,' she objected 'I want to fight,' he growled as he began to walk to where the others fought, Sam stood up and followed him 'Your in no condition to fight as this moment,' she growled 'And what are you..a philosopher on my condition,' he said not looking at her 'You don't have to be a philosopher you can see it,' she replied back..but he wasn't listening suddenly a group of demons came out of nowhere, Jun grew his sword and ran at them, blood dripping from his wounds, he didn't care he was still pissed off about getting smuthered by creatures of another kind.

... Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 Sam was fuming. "You're going to get yourself killed this way!!!" she yelled. But he kept going toward his enemies. In anger, she used her powers once more. She slowed time and ran right in front of Jun, cutting all of the demons in half, as it looked to be a blur to him. She stopped once all the enemies were gone and stared at him. "You're going to rest." she said looking at him. "Concern yourself with someone who actually gives a care!" he said pushing past her. She grabbed his arm, yanking him back, and he pulled away. "Leave me alone." he said staring at her angrily. "If you're not going to help yourself, then I am." she said as she took all of the energies from the earth, trees and flowers whithering around them as she focused on his injuries. The wound slowly healed, but not too slowly to where he could fight it off. He stared at her angrily when she finished. "I didn't ask for help." "You didn't have to. That's what people do when they care for someone." she said as she waited for him to walk away. She wouldn't be leaving him alone for a second... not after what had happened...

Blayze Posted January 25, 2005 Author Share Posted January 25, 2005 Zack ran into the temple, trying to find Isabelle. There were demons inside the temple already. They were swarming the entire place, ready to kill. "Isabelle!" Zack shouted, trying to find her. He ran into her room. Demons were crowding the walls. A river of crimson washed over the floor. Zack drew his swords and fought his way into the room. He got in, and found Isabelle lying on the floor. The demons had killed her. She was untrained in her powers, and that had led to her death. Zack picked up her body, and roared with rage. His eyes began to crackle with electric power. He charged through the door, and out into the temple garden. "Her blood tasted good, Zack. Too bad I didn't get to drink it all," said a voice from behind Zack. He whirled around and saw his demon crouching behind him. "You killed her?" "Yes, and I laughed as I did it. I loved it. Her scream, the gushing blood. It was the most fun I've had in months. But look on the bright side, Zack. At least that's one less angel you have to find, and one less demon you have to deal with." "You monster!" shouted Zack, placing Isabelle's body on the floor. "You should know, Zack. I'm a part of you. I'm the part of you that pulled the wings off insects as a child. The part of you that laughs at other people's misfortunes." "You can't be a part of me. I'm not capable of taking a human life!" "Well, part of you must be, Zack." "No!" he shouted, his eyes blazing with electric fury. A huge ball of lightning grew in his hands. He thrust his hands out and shot the energy at his demon. If the demon died, so would he, but he was blinded with rage. The demon held his hand out and caught the lightning, but it was still attached to Zack's hand. The electricity turned purple, and Zack and his demon were drawn closer to each other. Their bodies touched, and there was a blinding flash. When the light cleared, there was only one being, dressed the same as Zack, but all the colours were just black, as were his eyes. He looked more worn-out than before, and had a strange tint in his eyes. Zack had somehow merged with his demon form, to become a more evil version of Zack. He had all the evil of his demon form, plus all the evil of his own form put together. He was a dark version of himself. (OOC: Isabelle's dead because amgoddess couldn't keep up. Sorry about this-it doesn't really affect the long-term storyline that much) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
... Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 They heard the screams from outside. Jun was the first to start running toward the garden. Sam followed shortly after. Jun stopped suddenly, but Sam kept going. Just then, a flash of blinding light came from the garden across from the stairs. The impact threw Sam back as she fell, but Jun caught her before she tumbled clumsily down the rest of stairs. Sam stared at him with fear in her eyes.... something had happened out there. Jun kept staring at where the light was. She walked slowly outside and stared blanky at an unmoving Isabelle, and a dark figure above her. The dark figure turned, and she saw it was only Zack. She ran ro Isabelle and tears streamed from her eyes. "Wake up... wake up Isabelle..." she said as she shook her. She laid in the same position of her mother... "She's dead." Zack said coldly looking down at a crying Sam. Sam drew all of her power just to try and revive her. She was crying uncontrollably. She failed someone again. She wasn't able to save someone... Isabelle's blood covered her clothes. It was an unreal experience... it was as if she was living in the past... looking at her mother... her sister... their fragile bodies lying on the floor. She tried reviving her... wasting her energy at the failed attempts. She felt useless.... completely.... useless. "I said she was DEAD!!!" Zack screamed as he raised his hand to strike her. Jun ran over to him and stopped him before he could lay a hand on her. "What's happened to you!!" Jun said staring at Zack. Zack looked back at him, a flicker of the old person he used to be... but quickly returned to his present state. "I killed her..." he said quietly and eerily. The room was quiet except for the Sam's cries... Sam stood up and looked at Zack. "What... happened..." "I killed her..." he kept saying. "Who ARE you???" she demanded. He stared at her... "My demon... and I are one..." he said. Jun stared at him and shook his head. He turned around and left. Sam ran after him. "Where are you going?" she asked. "To find Lyon... to make sure this doesn't happen to him." "Then I'm coming with you." she said as she followed him out the temple. She wanted to find Lyon too... but those demons were after Jun... and she wasn't about to let anything happen to him. She wouldn't let him out of her sight again.

Kairi Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 Poseidon and Lyon were still in an intense battle. Both of them were so fast and skilled in their abilities...looked like neither one of them would become tired. Despite the failure of Lyon's efforts to hit Poseidon...at least he was making the demon work. [I]Physical blows are not the only way to defeat an enemy...[/I] he thought to himself. [COLOR=DarkSlateBlue]Do you truly believe you can defeat me in that way Lyon...[/COLOR] ''No...but at least you won't be able to pass me and take down Jun.'' [COLOR=DarkSlateBlue]I'm sure my minions have already taken care of the job.[/COLOR] But Poseidon was mistaken...he could see both Jun and Sam coming out of the temple, running towards their position being chased by a hord of demons. [COLOR=DarkSlateBlue][I]What master...what is it your trying to tell me?...ah...I see...excellent.[/I][/COLOR] ''What is the meaning of these thoughts Demon...are you speaking with your master?'' [COLOR=DarkSlateBlue]Indeed my dear Lyon...things are working out better than expected. [/COLOR] Pushing Poseidon back with Lyon's staff...he turned around to see Jun running to him...he was crying out something...but he couldn't hear him. [I]Thank goodness Jun is safe, but what of Isabelle and Zack?[/I] [COLOR=DarkSlateBlue]Now it is your turn fool![/COLOR] cried out Poseidon as he lunged towards Lyon...the demons body became like water...attemping to engulf Lyon whole. ''LYON!...that demons gonna try to fuse with you...get out of the way!'' cried Jun as he approached Lyon. The demon was moments away from getting to Lyon when a bright barrier surrounded him...blasting the demon far away from him as his body exploded like water upon the rocks. [COLOR=DarkSlateBlue]Damn it....how did you...[/COLOR] With Lyon's back still facing the demon...the water angel Misty arose beside him, looking directly at the demon. [COLOR=DarkSlateBlue]Its you...how dare you![/COLOR] [COLOR=Blue]You will not hurt him...[/COLOR] [COLOR=DarkSlateBlue]Blast...demons...we leave...our efforts have proven fruitfull enough for one day.[/COLOR] All the demons around Jun, Sam and Lyon disappeared...leaving them alone in the cavern...there was a aqua blue aura surrounding Misty...obviously the barrier that protected Lyon that was lighting the entire cave. ''How did you do that Lyon?'' said Sam. [I]I told you to stay away from this place Misty...[/I] [COLOR=Blue]I could not let you have the same fate as Zack my love...[/COLOR] [I]Hm...thank you...[/I] [COLOR=Blue]Of course...[/COLOR] ''Lyon...how did you do that?'' Sam said again. ''Somethings happened to Zack...hasn't there?'' ''Yes...apparently he's fused with his demon.'' answered Jun. ''Are you ok Jun?'' ''Yes...I'm fine...Sam helped. And I scared away Sam's demon as well.'' ''Well done...but what of Zack and Isabelle?'' Sam began to cry, with her head in her palms. ''Isabelle is dead...there was nothing we could do...and Zack just walked away.'' Being the monk that he was...Lyon walked over to Sam and embraced her in a hug to try and comfort her. ''It's gonna be alright Sam...'' Lyon looked at Jun who wasn't showing much emotion over it. ''Our spirits live forever...she may be gone...but her spirit will always be with us. I'm sure we'll meet her again...someday.'' Lyon stepped away, Sam was staring to get a hold of herself...sniffling here and then. ''So what do we do now?'' said Jun...''you still haven't told us how you did that with your angel...'' ''Your right...its simple really...opposites attract each other...cancelling each other out. If me and Poseidon were to fuse...it would be so...but not complete...I would still need Misty to complete the transmortation.'' Both Jun and Sam looked at him confusingly...but seemed to get the general idea. ''Basically...if he were to fuse with Misty before me...the demon and angel would cancel each other's entities out...leaving me to die...as well as them. Poseidon couldn't accept that so it wasn't actually Misty that saved me, but Poseidons unwillingness not to die...understand.'' ''So...with Misty being in the way of Poseidons fusion...he stopped his attempts to bond with you causing that kind of reaction...'' Jun said in conclusion. ''Something like that yes...thats why it is imparitive that we find our own angels before the demons come back...they'll be able to protect us...who knows what else.'' ''And what about Zack?'' said Sam. Lyon walked up to Jun first...placing a hand on his shoulder. ''If you wish to leave...you may. But me and Sam need you now; Zack needs you. I can't do this without you.'' Before Jun could answer, Lyon walked up to Sam as well...bowing to her. ''And I would be honored for you to come with me as well...we will need your gifts as well...I may even be able to teach you if you will permit me.'' ''To come with you where...'' both Jun and Sam said. ''To hunt...for our angels...as well as for Zacks...his angel will be vital if we ever want to get the old Zack back. I have an idea...but we must find it...before he does.'' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
... Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 Sam stared at them both and walked away. She was just... tired. She couldn't help anyone. And she knew that. Her powers, were nothing to her. And she had no interest in figuring out how to use them. "Why do you doubt yourself?" Sam jumped at her voice behind her. "You're going to give me a heart attack, you know." "I did not mean to scare you..." "Its alright... and I don't doubt myself... I just don't think it's necessary to use these powers." "Your powers are stronger than you realize." "Really? So how come I couldn't save her??" "That was not your fault." "I'm not talking about Isabelle. I'm talking about Kayla. Or Mark... They were with [i]ME[/i]!!!" she screamed. Her anger was overpowering her. "And I let them down." she said calmly, turning away from her. The angel came up to her and rested her hand on her shoulder. "You're not useless... you may not have been able to save them... but you have saved others..." she said. Suddenly she disappeared, and Sam turned around only to see Jun standing there in the entry way. She wasn't sure what her angel was trying to say in all of this... but whatever it was... she realized she would follow him wherever he would go... and her decision hinged on his.

Heero Darkangel Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 Jun looked at Lyon 'I will go with you,' spoke Jun 'Right now you need to get some...' began Sam 'Shut up!!...,' roared Jun as he looked at her, 'First you want questions, and then you make it as if I can't fight...leave me alone!....I've survived this lone without someone telling me what I need and what I shouldn't do, so back OFF!!,' Sam looked at him with her eye brows raised and he walked off shaking his head. She was just about to go after him when Lyon stopped her 'Let him go, if you keep doing that he'll leave and we can't have that not now,' spoke Lyon, Sam looked up at him, 'Just leave him,' Jun walked over to the fountain and looked in. He was enraged by what Sam had done to him and enraged by what happened to Zack. He wanted something to take it all out on, he looked at the water...suddenly it began to bubble and steam...the more he looked at it the worse it got until it evaporated, he looked at the statue that stood in the middle..suddenly it exploded. He felt abit better but not by much. OOC: ... can you stop doing that to my character..its damn fustrating! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
