RPG Angels Must Die [M-LVS]

You Don't Care · April 19, 2005

[COLOR=Sienna]O.O.C.: I hope my assumptions about this RP are true. Well, here goes.[/COLOR]

She tried to kill herself, yet she was also clinging on to life. Reoan..induring so much..suffering so..constantly being pushed down..no sign of an end to this injustice.

[COLOR=Purple]"Well? Have you come to talk or just stare? If so, than leave. Go back to your God's children. Go back to your prescious Zodiacs!"[/COLOR] The pain of both angst and the wound was beginning to subdue her. Not for the natural result of death, but by her own emotion. Kadar was beginning to understand a little more.

"Why do you hate God so?" Kadar simply asked, his eyes closed and holding his hands together. [COLOR=Purple]"You hold your hands together to pray, but he will not forgive. Only for your kind."[/COLOR]

"I do not pray for your forgiveness, but I ask for His guidance." Kadar's thoughts emptied from his mind and heart. "For I know what it is like to be raped of my own dreams..My own love..all for this God." Kadar opened his eyes in anger and tried to look past her gaze. She had turned away. Her expression unreadable.

"I am here for a number of reasons, Reoan. I must make clear of things to myself.." Kadar put his hands on the armrests of his chair. His face growing calm and understanding. "..And..to clear things up for you." Reoan looked up, impatiently waiting for what this man could possibly do to change the way things are.

"How did you escape Hell, Reoan?" He dreaded to ask the question, but he had to make sure. This is what is called [I]faith[/I].

Reoan gave him a smile. [COLOR=Purple]"I did not escape. I was thrown out."[/COLOR]

'NO! I WAS RIGHT! Oh, how I wish it wasn't true,' Kadar thought to himself. He felt dread, but amidst the betrayal, he found what he must do.

He abruptly stood up in anger. Reoan readied for the confrontation. "SO YOU ARE SAYING THAT YOU HAD RECIEVED FULL PUNISHMENT!! YOU HAVE PAYED UP TO YOUR CRIMES AND YET WE ARE DISPATCHED TO DESTROY YOU!!"

Jacob could hear the ruccus that Kadar was making and opened the door. "I knew it! You won't have her!" Jacob shouted. Kadar's aura had enflared. His eyes grew pale white and the air grew thick with his intense loathing. He rose his head toward the ceiling. "I will not stand for this!" His voice was different and craved for blood. His power then wavered and he settled down once again.

[COLOR=DarkRed]"What was that?"[/COLOR] Lucifer was looking through the doorway. Azrael was by his side. [COLOR=Navy]"A creeping resonance."[/COLOR]

The new silence had been broken with Reoan's coughing. The pain returned once more as death crept closer. Kadar began to approach her.

"You will go no further," Jacob was ready for the kill. Lucifer tried to stop the guardian from protecting her. Azrael waited for whatever was next. Kadar continued to close the space, not caring about the others. Reoan's hatred for this man was blinding her, more so than the wound.

Kadar stopped by the bed, his face was settled while looking apon the helpless woman. Or was she helpless? No one knew of what to expect next. He was after all Eloc Freidon reincarnated. They knew.

He reached out, not as an attack, but of greeting. He reached for her wound. "As payment, I ask that I may be allowed to be rid of the pain." A sad smile took to his face. Reoan was unsure of his intention. First his unusual rage and now this. She nodded, but with disgust. He reached further and tapped the wound with the end of his finger. Then he fell back a step as his face cringed.

"You will be fine by the next morning." He walked toward the door. No one was sure of what to make of this action. "If you are wondering how, I merely transfered it." Kadar turned to where his sword was and then looked at Jacob. "That blade there. A gift to you. May you use it when the time comes..Adiol."

He walked past the angels. The demoness and awakened grigori. Past Ben. He reached the front door. He turned once again to the ex-guardian.

"One other thing, Reoan. You look beautiful when you smile."

[COLOR=Navy]Azrael's face revealed first shock at Kadar's action, than unbridled rage passed over his face. "What have you done, you fool!?" The Angel swept after the man, eyes blazing.

"You've just made sure that the war between Reoan and the rest of Creation will continue? Don't you realise how much suffering, how much death will come of this?"

Kadar shrugged, not seeming to care. Azrael's hand quivered, temtped to darw the sword that hung at his side and end this fool's existence. [/color]

You Don't Care · April 20, 2005

"AZRAEL, ANGEL OF DEATH!" Kadar rose his hand and pointed at the angel with intensity.

"You have proven that you tempt God's will!" Azrael was confused by the choice of words that this man has chosen, and the look of anger on his face. Their glares matched eachother.

"It is the will of God that the Zodiac will decide the conclusion of this war..As an entirity! If it was so simple as to have myself accomplish this task, then there is no meaning to the Zodiacs having an existance. No meaning to God's will!" He turned away and left the angel and everyone else to the acts presented this day.

He stopped short of the door and sighed in greef. "It seems that God's place in [B]all[/B] our hearts have finally faded."

[COLOR=Sienna]O.O.C.: I've re-edited this post about a dozen times. I wanted to get the wording and point across just right, you know.[/COLOR]

Redemption · April 20, 2005

[COLOR=Navy][FONT=Times New Roman]Zane watched as Ima and Kariz left. He smiled knowingly to himself as he told the other cabbie to get Raven and Rubedo's luggage from their hotel. He gave him a letter describing that they had fallen ill and needed to have their luggage. Zane felt a little ill himself doing this, since it wasn't right.

After the cabbie left, Zane returned to his house. This was his little piece of paradise. He entered inside to see Rubedo sitting there with Raven curled up next to him asleep. He had his arms crossed in front of him with his eyes closed.

" Rubedo, you should take Raven outside. She looks like she needs some fresh air. She possibly might have alcohol poisoning. I'd like to keep an eye on her for a while. Take her outside, down to the water for a few minutes. It will help her overcome her hangover when she wakes again."

Rubedo opened his eyes and gave a sideways glance at Zane before lifting Raven easily in his arms and taking her limp form outside into the night. Zane sighed. It was a struggle of wills when he asked Rubedo to do something - which will was stronger. His powers were near useless against the Guardian, but he had no need to use them against him, so it didn't matter.

Zane sat down heavily in his chair, looking at Camilla over his purple lensed sunglasses.

" Something wrong Miss Virgo?"

Camilla looked up at him. " No. Just wondering what our course of action will be."

" Hmmm.... Personally I think we should get Kadar first. Other than he being a Zodiac, he's hurt. Therefore, I'm biased because I am a doctor." He sat back at took a sip of port which he poured himself not long ago. Camilla sat there thinking. Zane watched her over his sunglasses.[/COLOR][/FONT]

[center]*********************[/center]

[COLOR=DarkGreen][FONT=Trebuchet MS]Rubedo carried Raven who was as asleep as anything. He took her down to the water. The calming sound of tiny waves crashing on the beach echoed through the still night. Rubedo laid her gently on a tuft of green grass near the white sand. He sat down beside her. A small breeze slightly ruffled Rubedo's hair.

The cool breeze woke Raven. She slowly sat up, wondering where the hell she was.
" We're at Zane's house Raven," Rubedo said solemnly.
" Oh....." Raven looked at Rubedo then back at the ocean in front of them.

There was an eerie silence between them as they looked over the ocean together.

" Thank you..." Raven said suddenly, breaking the silence. Rubedo didn't move but he watched her out of the corner of his eye. " Thank you.... for coming to get me."

" You're a Zodiac. You couldn't die when the world depends on you," Rubedo replied coolly.

[i]Is that all I am to you.... a Zodiac....[/i] Raven though. She sighed. Her body shivered.

" Are you cold?" Rubedo asked.

" No. Thank you." In her weakened state, Raven couldn't do anything. It would take her a full two days to recover fully. That's what happened when she directed her powers to kill.
" Rubedo?"

" Yes."

" When you fought with Ezequeel, did the lightning hitting the buildings around you help?"

A wave of shock went through Rubedo's body. [i]It couldn't have been her...[/i] " Why do you ask?"

" Just wondering. I'm sorry if it got in your way. I was only trying to help."

[i]It was her! She shouldn't have that much power![/i] Rubedo thought quickly. He was silent.

Raven sighed again. She looked at Rubedo who closed his eyes momentarily. Raven positioned herself in front of Rubedo quietly. She looked him over. Raven closed her eyes and took a chance.

A warm sensation spread on Rubedo's lips. His eyes sprung open with shock. He saw Raven only an inch away from his face, her lips lightly touching his. Frozen in shock, Rubedo didn't know what to do. For a few more seconds, they stayed like that before Raven opened her eyes to see Rubedo with a plain look of shock on his face. She scrambled backwards.

" I'm.. I'm sorry..... I'm really sorry..... I didn't.. I'm sorry...." she stuttered before getting up and walkign quickly towards Zane's house lights, leaving Rubedo there.[/COLOR]

[b]OOC: Ok Kairi. I told you something was going to happen ^_^[/b][/FONT]

lil kitsune boy · April 20, 2005

Ben pulled his shirt on, followed by his coat and holsters.

'You think you can make it for five minutes, without me here?' he asked Reoan.

'Where are you going?' Jacob asked him. Ben shrugged.

'Somethin' about that guy pisses me off.' he said.

'You're gonna fight a Zodiac?' Amber asked him, apprehensively.

'Depends,' he said, sheathing his sword on his back, 'On what he does when I get there.' He jammed two fresh clips into his guns and holstered them.

'You'd be going to your death, you know that.' Reoan said.

'I think I started on that trip when I signed up for this little adventure.' he smirked as he opened the door.

'Don't do it.' she said.

Ben's smirk grew into an evil-looking grin, 'Well, if I knew you cared that much...' he trailed off as he closed the door.

'Insufferable human.' Reoan said.

***Outside***

'Kadar, right?' Ben said, twirling a pistol in his hand.

'Yes.' he said, seeming a bit dejected.

'I have one question for you.' Ben stated, pointing the gun at the man.

'What's your deal? Do you even know what you're here for?' he asked.

(ooc: yeah, it's short. but, i guarentee things'll get real interesting, depending on xy's answer)

You Don't Care · April 20, 2005

[COLOR=Sienna]O.O.C: You brought this apon yourself, Lil Kitsune. ;) [/COLOR]

"You never know when to quit do you?" Kadar scoffed.

Ben's gun fired a shot toward his direction. It punctured through Kadar's vest without hitting his flesh at all and embedded the bullet into the adjasent wall. "I never back down from a fight. And I never leave one unfinished."

The two stared eachother down. The next action would determine the outcome of this confrontation. Kadar turned his head toward the cliffs on the edge of the beach. "How does that battle field look to you?"

"I wouldn't have it any other way."

The waves crashed against the rock and the wind howled against their weary faces. The wounds that Ben had recieved earlier were still healing and Kadar wasn't in shape either. Zodiac and human. Or was it human and human? Kadar's chest had begun to burn.

"You don't have any weapons, but I don't have powers. You do the math."

"Even it is."

Kadar made one step back and rose his hands into the air. They were dangling while his feet stood firm. Ben uncocked his pistol and held it gently, ready to recock it at any time. Waves crashed. No witnesses, but the rising Sun and the wingbeat of seagulls. Kadar, thrusting hand toward his target, concentrated on Ben's movements.

The click of his gun and the motion of his hand to his sword revealed that Ben made the first move. He threw the blade at Kadar and aimed for the kill. Kadar used his free hand to grab the weapon, blade in fist. First and last blood.

Ben fired. But as it made its way to Kadar, the Zodiac used the hilt of the sword to stop the bullet dead. "If you want the answers you seek..." Kadar looked toward the horizon. Ben stole a glance and finally realized what the man had originally targeted. The waves came crashing down on top of them, sweeping them away into the sea.

'Then come with me and find out.'

============================

Zane had switched his eyes back and forth between Camilla and the sea. Paradise has become a little more today.

[COLOR=MediumTurquoise]"What's that?"[/COLOR] Camilla pointed to something that had washed up onto the shore.

[COLOR=Blue]"Those are people!"[/COLOR]

Camilla and Zane made their way to the site. Zane was carrying his tote bag that carried medical supplies. Camilla turned one over and realized who it was. It was Kadar. And he had a massive wound on his chest which bleeded profusely.

[COLOR=Blue]"Hurry, Camilla!"[/COLOR] Zane had noticed it immediately. [COLOR=Blue]"Help me carry them back to the house!"[/COLOR]

"Hold on.." Kadar had woken up and had reached for Zane. Zane noticed that he had also carried the bottle of champaign with him. "I'm filled with salt..give it to me," Kadar coffed as blood poured from the corners of his mouth. Camilla grabbed the bottle and gave it to Kadar, who poured the contents into his mouth and started drinking.

Kadar's body grew tense and he seemed to force the liquid to his stomache. The alcohol had pushed its way through Kadar's body and out of the wound. It was now cleansed of salt. "Take it from here.." He went unconscious once again.

[COLOR=MediumTurquoise]"H-hurry to the house!"[/COLOR] Camilla shouted. Zane could not believe how the man was able to do what he just did.

[COLOR=Sienna]O.O.C.: Speeding it up again! Everyone has regrouped. Take it from here![/COLOR]

Astdis · April 20, 2005

(OOC: I know the time factor on this doesn't quite fit exact, but I was typing it when Xy posted...)

[COLOR=DarkRed]Ima sat on one of the beds, packing her bags. Kariz grabbed her bag and a candle fell out onto the bed. She picked it up and paused, tossing it in her hand, thinking. She took the others out and set them up on the floor. Kariz sat next to them and closed her eyes. They lit and flickered casting odd shadows on the wall. [I]Clear the mind?

Reoan?stronger? her energy throbbed, strengthened again.
Kadar? weakened? wounded? Maybe? how? nothing? [/I]

Then it hit her, a force so strong it had to be a large combination of energies?[I]War was coming? a large war? she could feel it?s tension in the air? something had to be done? [/I]

She opened her eyes and stood, the candles went out and she dumped the wax in the waste bin. Kariz felt her blood pumping but her head was cool. She had a strong will and she was going to fight. She just didn?t know what yet.

Ima looked at her questioningly [COLOR=DeepSkyBlue][B]?What?s wrong??[/B][/COLOR]

[B]?Kadar?s hurt and Reoan has gained in strength. I don?t know how.? [/B] She packed her bag and set it on the bed. She put on her holster and her knife belt with her leather jacket to cover it. She had changed into a dark red tank top and beat up brown leather pants. She grabbed her bag.
[B]
?Ready to go??[/B]

[COLOR=DeepSkyBlue][B]?Yeah, I?m all set.?[/B][/COLOR]

[B]?Let?s hit it then.?[/B]

They walked down to the waiting taxi and climbed in. After a moment of silence Kariz spoke

[B]?What do you think of Reoan??[/B]

Ima seem startled, but then thoughtful [COLOR=DeepSkyBlue][B]?I don?t know. I?m skeptical on this whole deal. I mean, if we?re supposed to keep balance, how does killing her do that??[/B][/COLOR]

[B]?I?ve been thinking the same thing. I mean, I understand God has a grudge against her, but Zane had it right when he said that killing her would just put the imbalance in the other direction. I mean, does God have another agenda in this thing or what??[/B]

[COLOR=DeepSkyBlue][B]?Maybe, I don?t know. But I do want to know more about both sides? agenda. I think that would help us a lot.?[/B][/COLOR]

Kariz nodded and looked out the window again.

[COLOR=DeepSkyBlue][B]?So, Kadar?s in trouble??[/B][/COLOR]

[B]?I think so? he?s defiantly been hurt by something."[/B] she paused, then said determainedly [B]"But I?m going after him?[/B]

Ima looked at her and smiled [COLOR=DeepSkyBlue][B]?Yeah and I?m going with you.?[/B][/COLOR]

The car pulled up and Kariz paid the driver. They walked into the house. Kariz saw Kadar on the floor. Zane and Camilla were hovering over him, Zane was working on something. There was blood everywhere.

[B]"Well, the good ol' instincts were right on the money"[/B] Kariz mubbled to Ima

Raven came in through the door behind them She looked tired and distracted until she saw Kadar and her eyes opened wide[COLOR=Green] [B]"Wha... is that..."[/B][/COLOR]

[B]"Yep, it's Kadar."[/B][/COLOR]

Kairi · April 20, 2005

[COLOR=DarkSlateGray][CENTER][SIZE=1]Rubedo stood shocked for a moment as he looked out across the ocean...Raven was far ahead of him as it was, running to wherever...he figured it wasn't the best idea to follow her. She was emotional...obviously with something on her mind.

It had been centuries since the last time a human had layed her lips upon his own...the sweet, tender feeling that seemed to purge all the senses.

[I]Oh Raven....[/I] he thought to himself...he could see now where she wanted things to go. He didn't understand why; as long as he had lived on in this world, women were one thing that he would never understand...but with that act...it was made abundantly clear.

[I]I didn't save you just because you were a Zodiac...but because I cared for you and your safety[/I] in that he chuckled to himself, whether it was joy...or the foolishness...

Walking towards the waters, Rubedo took off his boots, shirt, trench coat and blades as he slowly made his way into the water till it just covered his chest...the water was soothing, the feeling was cool and refreshing upon his body which felt tired.

Closing his eyes like he had always done, he prepared himself to train...to calm his mind...the raging thoughts within himself...

[I]Alright...so Reoan is weakened...however I'm sure that she won't be for long. And from Kariz told me of Kadar...he doesn't plan on killing her...truly embracing the essense of balance. Despite the world fighting with each other...it wouldn't be long till the armies of heaven would be unleashed to kill Reoan...to stop her intentions in this life. This certainly changes the Zodiac's motions in this game... [/I]

While he began to think...Rubedo's movements in the waters were both powerful and quick as he twisted and turned....punches and kicks into nothingness as the water began to rise up around him...turning into what looked like a whirlwind of water.

[I]Has the presense of God truly faded so quickly from the hearts of this place...who truly knows God's will anyway...I'm getting tired of all this drama...enough words...but what is my purpose in all of this![/I]

Suddenly he stopped his routine, the waters falling back down to their original state...

[I]Something is here...[/I]

Glancing over to a neighboring beach...Rubedo could see both Camilla and Zane dragging two bodies from the waters. Neither one of them took notice of his submerged body as he watched them head back towards the house.

Walking out of the waters...not bothering to dress himself...he followed...

[CENTER]***[/CENTER]

"Move..." declared Rubedo as he made he was past Raven gently, putting a friendly hand on her shoulder as he moved her to the side.

Zane looked up to see the Guardian hovering over him. Kadar lay motionless; unconcious upon the couch with his chest exposed. The other stranger lay still as well on a couch on the opposite side of the room. Zane was working frantically with his medical supplies when Rubedo stood beside him.

"This man's gonna die in moments...give me some room...." but his words were to no use; Rubedo simply grabbed his shoulder and threw him to the side as he sat by Kadar's side.

Zane rose to his feet in shock as the room fell silent...not knowing what to do. Was the Guardian planning to kill him...were they to fight him...

To everyone's surprise, Rubedo placed his right hand upon Kadar's chest...blood gushed from the wound uncontrolably...he only had a few moments of life left...

"He's Kadar...the other Zodiac who was with us..." responded Kariz, mixed with both concern and confusion at Rubedo's actions. Zane had already made his way to the other man lying on the couch.

"I know who he is..." replied Rubedo suddenly; his voice both direct and tense. With Kadar's blood running over his hand, Rubedo's hand began to glow a brilliant red, as if it were some supernatural flame.

"what are you doing to him..." questioned Raven as she slowly began to approach him. Rubedo simply stretched out his left arm towards her, motioning for her not to come any closer. Camilla was now at Zane's side helping with the other; his wounds weren't as fatal, a simple bump on the head as she glanced over at what was happening. Everyone's eyes were upon Kadar as his body began to immitate the color of Rubedo's hand.

The young Zodiacs chest suddenly seemed to burn from within, the essense of a flame errupted within him as it did likewise in Rubedo's body. His eyes were closed, body completely tensed as he pressed his palm firmly upon the wound.

Soon you couldn't see anything of Kadar as his entire being seemed to be engulfed within the bright light as Rubedo's inners seemed to continue to burn from within...looking through his skin as if it were glass. In the moment it seemed like his wet pants were drying themselves.

Then in an instant...Kadar's body returned to a normal color, the light fading away as it revieled its repair. The young man was still unconcious, but the wound was completely healed...inside and out...his body was made whole once again. Slowly the flame within Rubedo died down as well as he took his touch on Kadar away and rose to his feet.

Without saying a word, he walked over to the other stranger and immiated the same thing as he did to Kadar, just not to an extreme as before, having only his hand turn color. Simply brushing his hand across the mans head having some form of cut upon the side; the blood seemed to rush back to its point of origin as the wound closed up.

Resting the strangers head upon a pillow, still kneeling before him, Rubedo turned his gaze towards everyone else...not being able to speak a word.

"This one is human....and I take that to be one of your fellow Zodiacs..." finally Rubedo spoke. Zane was already by Kadar's side marveling over the work that was done.

"What did you do?" he answered..."this isn't possible...not even I as a doctor have ever seen something like this."

Rubedo stood to his feet and shook off the tension which still resided in his arms. "That's what us Guardians do..." he simply responded.

Before anyone else could responded he spoke once again..."but that's not important right now...we need to figure out what we're going to do now...I'm sure you all can feel it...war is coming..." with that he began to walk back outside to gather the rest of his things. "I'll be right back..."

Reaching down to grap his scimitars from the sand, putting back on his shirt, shoes and trench coat...Rubedo looked up heaveward, taking in the beautiful night sky that lay above.

[I]Bring it...I'm ready...[/I] he muttered within his mind to some presense as he turned his back and walked towards the house which seemed to be abuzz. [/SIZE] [/CENTER] [/COLOR]

lil kitsune boy · April 21, 2005

[COLOR=Red]It was white, all around. Aside from the other person there.

'Where the hell did you come from?' Ben asked.

The older man smiled, 'Oh, lots of places.'

Ben drew his pistol and pointed at the man.

'Look, pops. I ain't in the mood for twenty questions, so let's cut to the chase.' he stated, 'Who are you, and what's going on here?'

'I'm here to tell you something,' the man said, still smiling, 'But I can't if you use that, now can I?'

Ben twirled the gun around and holstered it.

'You got a point, old man.' he said, 'Just make it quick.'

The man sighed, 'Kids, these days. Anyway, what do you know about your families past?'

'Aw man, pops,' Ben sighed, 'You're askin' the wrong guy.'

The man walked around Ben and pulled the sword from his back.

'What the..?' Ben said, turning around.

Th man held the blade up, inspecting it.

'Fine steel,' he said, 'Better than I've seen in a long time.'

'Didn't you have something to say? Something about my family?' Ben asked. He was getting impatient.

'I did.' the man replied, 'It also has something to do with that woman you were with.'

Ben drew both pistols and aimed at the man's head.

'Hold on.' the man said, 'Let me introduce myself. My name is Caleb.'

'Ok, Caleb,' Ben said, the guns pointed, unwavering, 'Start talking.'

'Reoan once knew a man, you might even say she loved him.' Caleb said.

'Oh man, not one of these,' Ben said, 'Look, dude, I don't care about that stuff. The past is past, get over it.'

Caleb grinned, 'Just what I'd expect from my decendant.'

Ben stopped, 'What?'

'You, my young friend, are my descendant.' he said, 'By a few hundred years, of course.'

'So, you're showing up to me, because..?' Ben asked, dropping his arms.

'Reoan was in love with an angel, inhabiting my body. Then, he betrayed her.' Caleb said.

'So?' Ben asked, 'He's a dick, so what? There are a lot of them. What do you care? You didn't even know her.'

'Funny thing, that.' Caleb replied, 'I was a still-born. I died in the womb, because of Adoil. Then he took my body.'

'Well, isn't he a f*cker?' Ben replied, 'Anything else I should know?'

'Only that it's time to wake up.' Caleb said, tossing Ben's sword back to him.

The white world Ben had found himself in started to fade. Caleb gave him one last smile before everything went black.[/COLOR]

*******************

Ben sat up from the couch as he woke, shaking his head to clear it.

'So, where the hell am I this time?' he asked.

Suddenly, he stopped, looking down at his chest. His hand went to his head. Then he stood, pulling off his coat and looking at his arm.

'Where'd my holes go?' he asked, 'The stitches are gone, too.'

'How'd you happen to wash up with our boy?' he heard someone ask.

He turned to see a young latin woman in a red tank top.

'Yeah, this could work out.' he said with a smirk.

demonchild781 · April 21, 2005

[COLOR=DarkOrchid][FONT=Arial Narrow]Reoan slept peacefully through the rest of the night as she healed. A sudden throbbing woke her from her slumber as she rolled over to try and releave it.

"You're awake!" A shrill voice shierked and caused the throbbing in Reoan's head to worsen.

Reoan dragged herself up right just in time to recieve the young demoness in her lap. The young girl wrapped her arms around the ex-Guardian's waist and burried her head into her stomach. Reoan was too shocked by the outwardly expressed affection to know what to do.

Soon after Amber's surprise attack, the Grigori half-breed raced into the motel room and lifted both woman off the bed in his massive arms. He held them close as he made strange noises of sheer joy. After what seemed like forever, Reoan began to struggle to get away from the massive man and he soon put her back down on the bed.

"You're awake," Jacob came into the room, whipping off his hands on a towel. "I've just got back with some food, would you like some?"

Reoan watched as Amber and David rushed out of the room to gather their share of the food Jacob had aquired. They seemed so happy and blessful as they raced to the other room. She brought her eyes down to the bed sheets, blood still covered them.

"How you feel?" Jacob's soothing voice washed over her aching head.

"I'm alive," Reoan said as she slid from the bed, gathering the bed shits into her arms as she dragged them towards the door. As she tried to walk past Jacob she felt him firmly grab a hold of her forearm. She brought her head up to look into his blue eyes.

"What do you remember...when you were..." Jacob said, not turning from her.

"When I was slipping?" She searched his face, the ache taking over her body and knew that something was causing him pain. "Not much, honestly." Jacob looked away from her when her words fell upon his ears, letting go of her arm. She slid her hand up against his face and whispered softly, "except that you were there." His eyes shot up quickly and his eyes raced over her expression. She did not smile, but the fluttering that rose between the two of them was enough for them both.

Reoan took the sheets and depoisted them in the small dumbster in the back of the motel. She re-entered the room and sat down at the small table in her room with the others. Amber and David laughed, and played as the four of them ate. Once they were finished they cleaned the motel of any sign that they were there, used Amber's money to take a boat to Europe.

[CENTER]****************************[/CENTER]

As the three disembarked from their ship onto French soil, a swarm of armed men rushed into the dock. Instructions were that no one was to leave without being checked for weapons. News swept through the crowd quickly, Russia had been bombed by some unknown country and they were threatening to send nuclear weapons across the world.

"But if they search us they'll find our," Amber started, looking up at Jacob.

The four stood next to the walk way, each of them clutching their belongings. Reoan stood between the Grigori and Jacob, while Amber was on Jacob's other side. The Guardian looked down at the demoness, knowing she was right.

"Care to make a distraction, Reoan?" Jacob turned to the ex-Guardian, a slight smile upon his face. She tilted her head and gave a wicked one in return.

The ex-Guardian gently placed her bags onto the ground and slid into the crowd.

"What is she going to do?" David turned to Jacob.

"Something she learned while in Hell." Jacob smiled as he turned his attention to the parting people.

Reoan suddenly reappeared onto of a small stand, know one really paying attention to her except her companions. A guard approached her, armed and threatening.

"You need to get down from there miss." The man said gently.

Reoan brought her head down and smiled. [/FONT] [/COLOR]

OOC:Well Kiddies, you'll have to wait until tomorrow to find out what Reoan has up her sleeve. Please no one step in! Thanks.

Omino Jaku · April 21, 2005

[FONT=Arial Narrow]The blades sung as they slashed at the air. The movements were becoming more fluid from the last time they were used by the young man. Stepping forward and swinging his arm up he moved. The simplest move, and the pain struck him again. He dropped the blade in his right hand and clutched his chest. He recognized this pain. A broken or fractured rib. Oni had left his mark.

Yasuo had hoped that the cut on his forehead, the bloodied lip, and the countless bruises would be enough. I guess the human body wasn't built to handle so much.

The images of his fight with the enigma raced through his head. What was he? And why was the thing out to kill Yasuo? Looking into the distance at where Yasuo buried the creature he questioned. He sneered at the thought of talking to [I]Him[/I] again. No God would let so much pain come to Yasuo and those around him. Pushing any thoughts of his past out of his mind, he bent down to pick up his blade.

As Yasuo slowly stood, he heard the footsteps behind him and slowly turned. Knowing full well who was there even before he saw her face. Dressed in a simple white tank top and a school girl's skirt she stood. He sheathed his weapons on either thigh. She spoke first.

"How's your head?" She questioned in Japanese.

"Fine." Yasuo retorted. As he stood tall and righted himself he flinched from the sudden pain in his ribs.

"Yasuo?" She reached out to touch him. Yasuo's first reaction was to back away sharply. Hiroko withdrew her hands and placed them on her hips.

"It's nothing." He said.

Hiroko only cocked her head, acting all too motherly. She sighed and shook her head, taking Yasuo's hand in hers and lead him back to the house where she would apply the proper bandages. At first glance you may think the two were married.[/FONT]

[FONT=Arial Narrow][COLOR=DarkOrchid]The guard squinted his eyes at her response as he pulled his gun into full view of Reoan. "Now miss, I won't be so nice the next time I have to tell you to get down from there." The man was firm and his voice hinted at aggression.

"I'll make sure not to spare your soul then," Reoan flashed her eyes wide as she smiled again. The soldier was starting to get annoyed by her, the frustration apparent in his aged face.

Reoan rotated her head back, closing her eyes, and fanning her fingers out next to her legs. Her palms faced most of the crowd as a slight breeze began to pick up. Reoan's hair slid across her face and her clothes pulled to one side.

"I said get down," the soldier barked, reaching up to pull Reoan down.

"I wouldn't." She warned, startling the man slightly. [/COLOR]

[COLOR=SeaGreen]"Grab my hand." Jacob said firmly, holding both hands out for the Grigori and demoness. Both dropped there things and timidly grabbed a hold of the Guardian's hands. "As long as you hold onto me, you will be safe."

David and Amber looked at each other, and then at Jacob. His expression was emotionless as he started at the ex-Guardian three hundred yards from them. What could she possibly do that would effect them this far away?[/COLOR]

[COLOR=DarkOrchid]The wind started to pick up more, but there seemed to be no storm coming. The strange breeze started to draw other soldiers' attention and soon the crowd had become aware of it. Chaotic noise rose as the wind swirled faster and faster around them. Bags began to blow away, people stumbled as they tried to stay up right. The soldiers were losing control over the massive crowd surround the docks. Panic was soon to start.

"I said get down!" The soldier reached up, intending to pull Reoan from her perch,
but when his flesh touched her hand he was shot backwards. His body slammed against the crowd and began to twitch uncontrollably as his eyes rolled into the back of his head.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=SeaGreen]"What's going on! I can't see a thing!" Amber shouted as she jumped up and down.

"The soldier tried touching her." David added. He was the only one able to see over all of the heads at the docks, but it was still difficult to see everything with the mass starting to swarm.

Jacob watched, his face straight. He had heard about Reoan's unique talent, but never watched some one preform it. Rumors had it that the Fallen Angel Lucifer had taught her the technique, but something just didn't seem to fit with that statement.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=DarkOrchid]The winds had grown wild and Reoan seemed to be the center of it. The soldiers were doing all they could to keep the raging crowd in check. Water crashed against the docks and ships, spraying water into the air and sending it flying over head.

Reoan's body began to tremble, her fingers stretched to their limits. Her clothing was pulled tight against her firm body and every muscle strained. Her mouthed opened slightly as if to gasp, but instead a tremendous voice bellowed from her depths. "SMITE ME!"

A burst of black masses shot from within her body and rushed over the crowd. They darted in and out as they shoved themselves into the various people standing at the docks. As the oval-shaped mass shot through an individual and left their body, the person dropped to the ground; seemingly dead.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=SeaGreen]"What the Hell!" Amber shouted, she started to back up. The Grigori was also wide-eyed with fear.

"Don't move and keep a hold of my hands!" Jacob shouted as the masses rushed closer and closer to them. He could feel Amber's grip tight as David's stayed the same.

A hissing noise sounded as the masses were only feet away from them, dropping humans like flies. Three of the oval shaped masses suddenly swirled around in mid-air, stopping right in front of the Guardian, demoness and Grigori half-breed. They seemed to be talking to themselves, the almost shapeless-hovering masses. They lingered a bit longer before darting off to finish the crowd.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=DarkOrchid]The masses hovered over the lifeless crowd for a moment, making sure that they had completed their job before rushing back into Reoan's body. The ex-Guardian wavered for a bit on her stand and as she felt herself falling towards the dock below Jacob had rushed over to catch her. He cradled her in his arms as he knelt down onto the dock.

"My sword..." Reoan mumbled.

Jacob brushed a strand of hair from her face.

"Amber...David...my sword..." Reoan mumbled.

Jacob creased his brows together and then brought his head up. Amber stood behind David as he tried his best to keep an attack off her. Jacob went to get up, but Reoan pulled him back down, her strength was already returning to her. "My sword."

That was all Jacob needed. He propped her against part of a peer as he rushed towards the other two. He slid to the ground, just behind one of the fallen bodies. He scrambled to draw Reoan's duffle-bag to him and open it without drawing attention. Just as he pulled the [URL=http://www.weaponmasters.com/images//products/website/KR-6_large.jpg]long sword[/URL] from the bag, the Grigori flew over Jacob's head. He had no time to see how badly the massive man was injured. Jacob rushed to his feet, Reoan's sword in hand.

A man far worse looking than David rushed at the Guardian. Jacob threw the sword up just in time to block the man's massive claws. The metal and nails screeched against each other as Jacob threw him back. Amber scooted by them both as she went over to David. [/COLOR]

[I][COLOR=SlateGray]Nails made of steel, heart made of glass.[/COLOR][/I] [COLOR=DarkOrchid]The touch of Reoan's mind was overwhelming as Jacob kicked the man's feet from under him. The creature flipped over and landed on both hands and feet. [/COLOR] [COLOR=SlateGray][I]Slow what you see. The sword is an extention of yourself. Right, left. Up, swirl, thrust.[/I][/COLOR] [COLOR=DarkOrchid]Jacob could feel her hands on his skin, guiding the sword effortlessly as they blocked the man's attacks and shoved the silver weapon through his chest. The creature cried out as Jacob pulled the blade from him and watched him drop to the ground.

Jacob turned around to see Reoan squinting down next to Amber and the Grigori. He was bleeding from multiple wounds, the man had slashed through him with those deadly claws all to protect Amber. The demoness was weeping, screaming that it was all her fault.

Jacob slowly approached them and took Amber into his arms, handing the sword to Reoan. The girl burried her face into his shoulder and cried as if David was dead. Jacob smiled at her innocents as he looked over at Reoan. The ex-Guardian wipped her sword off on a nearby human as she shoved it back into its shealth, and into her bag. She brought her eyes up to stare into Jacob's before she spoke.

"I know where we can go and its not far."

"How are we going to carry him?" Jacob nodded towards David.

Suddenly the massive man groaned and sat up. Reoan smiled, "he'll walk."

[CENTER]******************************[/CENTER]

"Welcome, guests." An old man approached the group.

"Thank you for taking us in, Father." Reoan bowed slightly as she kissed the holy man's hands.

"You're companion is injured, my dear. And we never turn those looking for shelter away." The Father opened his arms to the massive [URL=http://www.centralia.ctc.edu/~vfreund/Images/France/LeNordPicardy/Amiens/Amiens6h.jpeg]church[/URL]. "Now right this way, my children. I will show you to your quarters."

"What was that thing?" Amber said as she placed her bags on one of the two beds in her's and Reoan's room.

"A Splice Demon. He must have turned up when the Purifiers searched every one." Reoan replied as she too placed her things on the other bed.

"Purifiers? Them black oval things?"

"They were a tool used by priests and nuns during the Crusades. They stole the souls that surrounded them and sent them to judgement. If the souls had remained relatively pure, they were sent back to their bodies. If they hadn't been and were murdering, raping or any other sin, they were sent directly to Hell." Reoan began to pull her swords from her bag and laying them onto the small bed.

"Why did that demon thing not get his soul taken?"

"It only works on humans."

"Oh." Amber looked over at Reoan. The ex-Guardian had taken her coat off and her shirt hung slightly low on her upper back. The young demoness could see various scars that stretched across her shoulders and back, never touching her neck. They were hidious!

"Dinner awaits you, misses." A monk popped his head into the open door. Both girls nodded and slightly followed behind him.[/COLOR][/FONT]

You Don't Care · April 21, 2005

[B]MLEGREIGHFO PSIOHD![/B]

'You can't speak to me like that!'

[B]PODNCPAEKSD![/B]

'I will never obey?! Tch! Like I care! Only God can talk to me that way, and you are no GOD!'

[B]POUGVERICNI IOPUWDNMP POAWINDCP![/B]

'You say that it is a waste for God to enforce breath on such trash!? We are not even worthy enough to hardly be trifeled with?!'

[B]...![/B]

'No words means that you speak nothing of truth.....or could you also be ashamed to admit it?'

[B]GNYUK![/B]

========================

"[COLOR=Red]I SAID, how did you wash up with Kadar!"[/COLOR]Kariz asked again. "I told you, babe! I don't know how," Ben answered, casually waving his hands in the air. [COLOR=Red]"I may be a babe. But I'm not yours."[/COLOR]

Everyone was sitting down and having tea to calm their nerves. Zane offered a cup to Rubedo, but he politely rejected and walked to the balcony to meditate in an attempt to regain his energy. He sat down cross legged and set his weapons to the side. [COLOR=SlateGray]"We should wait until [I]he[/I] wakes up. He knows exactly the why and how."[/COLOR]

Raven took her time to make her approach to the unconscious man. '[COLOR=YellowGreen]Platinum hair. Natural platinum hair[/COLOR],' she thought to herself as she felt the strands that were cascading the front of Kadar's face. [COLOR=YellowGreen]"Hey, did everyone notice why blood got everywhere, but his hair is just fine?"[/COLOR]

Everyone, with the exception of Rubedo, began to remark their comments, too, and returned their attention to Kadar.

[COLOR=RoyalBlue]"Wouldn't blood stain that color?"[/COLOR] [COLOR=Red]"All possible places on him, but not his hair!" [/COLOR] [COLOR=MediumTurquoise]"Wow! It really isn't hairdye!"[/COLOR]

Everyone gave Camilla a funny look as she examined Kadar's head. [COLOR=MediumTurquoise]"Well, it isn't!"[/COLOR] she pointed out again, feeling annoyed at everyone's reaction.

With that, Kadar opened his eyes and sat up from the couch. All there was were gasps..except the sound of face against hand. "OW!" Wide-eyed, Kadar rubbed his face as it turned red. A pounding headahce quickly followed.

Camilla had had it and took a deep breath. [COLOR=MediumTurquoise]"I can't BELIEVE YOU!"[/COLOR] *Kadar with a dumb look on his face* 'Huh?'

[COLOR=MediumTurquoise]"The guy you left me with abandoned me at some shady restaurant with a ladies man, which I had to fall grace to his pressence!.."[/COLOR] *Zane feeling a little used* [COLOR=Blue]'That is the most excuisite dine in Morocco.'[/COLOR]

[COLOR=MediumTurquoise]"And that guy over there gave you a hug of your oh-so-love of the Heavens! And you come out fine!"[/COLOR] *Rubedo losing concentration* [COLOR=SlateGray]'It's called heeeaaaling..'[/COLOR]

[COLOR=MediumTurquoise]"Oh and there is also that one girl who I can't remember! She's useless!"[/COLOR] *Ima and Kariz thinking in unison* 'Which one of us is she talking about?'

[COLOR=MediumTurquoise]"And there's the woman who shows up drunker than a doofus!"[/COLOR] *Raven half listening* [COLOR=YellowGreen]'Wa?'[/COLOR]

[COLOR=MediumTurquoise]"What about that nobody there!? Is he special!? He looks stupid!"[/COLOR] *Ben cocking his gun* 'What did she call me?'

[COLOR=MediumTurquoise]"And all of this because you left me with that winter snowland man!"[/COLOR] *Daemond from wherever he his* 'I have a name..'

[COLOR=MediumTurquoise]"There! I'm glad I got that off my chest!"[/COLOR] The room was full of all kinds of emotion. And no one was even close to being happy.

"PFFFHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Kadar laughed really loud at the girl's complaining. The whole room was took aback by his reaction. "And a hello to you to, Cranky Blue!"

=============================

Kadar had explained how he and Ben got there. He used some sort of contact with the sea creatures and they carried them all the way. "They were magical ones and that made the trip quick!" Kadar finally finishing. He smiled to his quick thinking and resourcefulness.

The room was filled with nothing, but blank expressions. Of all the things..

"Sounds like someone reads too many fairytale books," Ben scoffed. [COLOR=MediumTurquoise]"He really is an idiot."[/COLOR] Ben kept his cool and ignored the comment.

"[COLOR=Red]Yes, there are indeed mythical creatures that exsist in this world. But they remain hidden to all human eyes[/COLOR]," Kariz explained.

"This is true."

Daemond had jumped through the canopy, which Rubedo calmly ignored, and walked to where Kadar had sat. "[COLOR=MediumTurquoise]Where have you been?[/COLOR]" Camilla asked.

"About."

"[COLOR=MediumTurquoise]I would like to visit this place referred to as [I]About[/I]?[/COLOR]" she sarcastically commented.

"So what have you heard through the grapevine, Daemond?" Kadar had the serious look on his face. Few here knew of what that meant. "The war has begun and GROVES all over Asia are being discovered. Threats spread to the East, close to Japan. Others have dispatched to North America, near where the young one who hasn't developed. Cancer has not been discovered by others, fortunately." The information was being transfered too quickly for most. Raven had kicked into her investigative methods and Rubedo already knew all except one thing.

[COLOR=SlateGray]"Groves. I know of them. However, I never had the oppurtunity to come across one."[/COLOR]

"You can't," Kadar looked his way, smiling. "Not unless its protectors allow your entry."

[COLOR=SlateGray]"I see."[/COLOR]

Kadar's expression changed when he just noticed the man for the first time. It was cold. No one seemed to have noticed, though.

"[COLOR=YellowGreen]If their location and exsistence is unknown, then how do you know where they are or even know of them[/COLOR]," Raven spoke in her investigative manner and tone. She was completely satisfied with how the answers flowed. Almost completely.

"Because we protect one of them," Daemond and Kadar announced together.

"[COLOR=RoyalBlue]Hmm..But these [I]Groves[/I], they inhabit creatures like the ones in fairy tales? Creatures like fairies and unicorns?[/COLOR]" Ima wondered.

"And dragons!" Daemond responded. There was a glare in his eye that caught Zane's attention. [COLOR=Blue]'So that's why..'[/COLOR]

"And it's funny that you have mentioned unicorns," Kadar said. He looked embarassed and began to blush while brushing his hand through his silvery hair. He looked to Daemond who gave him a nod back. "As Zodiacs, we also have the ability to transform into creatures ourselves. Ones that fit our persona." With those words he stood and began to change.

A bright silvery light embraced him and his insides had churned and shifted into their new proper places. Which was once in place of Kadar, now stood a majestic unicorn. Its mane dazzled the eyes of its witnesses and its right hoof patted delicately at the floor. Its tendon and muscle gave it the look of strength as well as grace.

Zane raised an eyebrow, taking all this in. [COLOR=Blue]"I'm no unicorn expert, but does the hair of a unicorn remain untainted by blood and any other unsightly marks?"[/COLOR] Daemond stepped to the side. "Yes, with the exception of its own," he slowly answered.

Raven was now finally getting to the bottom of this. [COLOR=YellowGreen]"But his hair remained untouched."[/COLOR] She stood up and approached the creature. Its eyes met with her own. [COLOR=YellowGreen]"Since the wound poured so much blood out and it wasn't his own..Than who's blood was it?"[/COLOR]

Everyone remained silent for an answer. With what seemed like haste, the unicorn changed back into Kadar. He sat back down and gazed at the floor in thought.

'Don't avoid the question!' was the statement on everyone's minds. They somehow knew the answer already.

Ben stood up and gave everyone a sneer. He was delighted by how this was going. "It WAS Reoan's. He saved her life..and did it willingly." This was almost as interesting as any fight.

demonchild781 · April 23, 2005

[FONT=Arial Narrow][COLOR=DarkOrchid]Reoan twitched slightly as she followed behind the Father and paladin back towards their rooms. Amber and Reoan were directly behind the Father and his apprentice, while Jacob followed.

"The boy is doing just fine," the Father spoke up. "He sustained minor injuries to his chest and arms, but nothing life threatening."

"Thank you, Father. We very much appreciate all that you are doing for us." Reoan replied, the paladin turning to look at her. She flashed a devilish smile towards him and the young boy jerked his head back around.

"Oh child, it is what God would want us to do." Reoan sneered at the priest's words. If he only knew. "Our society should be more apt to help the troubled youth. Teaching them non-sense about fornication being public exceptable and leaving our youth to create such hatred amonst ourselves." The priest made a funny noise; spit flying towards the ground.

The priest continued to ramble on, preaching about how the world had fallen from God and had grown corrupted with sin. The paladin took in every word the old man said, nodding his head every so often and taking mental notes.

The priest must have been some where in his early 80s and walked with a slight gimp. His white and gold robes hung to the floor and the ends were darkened from all the dirt it had been dragged through. The paladin wore the traditional black grab one would usually see a priest in. He was young, maybe around twenty years of age and very naive. His dark hair was cut short and tailored nicely around his thin neck. They were a lovely little pair.

[I][COLOR=SeaGreen]Reoan.[/COLOR][/I] Reoan's thoughts were intruded by Jacob's energy flowing over her like a sweet warm breeze and swirled around in her head with a persistance that she was unable to keep herself from succuming too. [I][COLOR=SeaGreen]Will you need time for yourself?[/COLOR][/I]

Reoan smiled and lowered her head. Amber looked over at the ex-Guardian with curiousity. Reoan paid her no-mind.

[COLOR=SlateGray]I will follow them back to our rooms. I need to collect my things.[/COLOR] Reoan's sweet energy filtered through Jacob's body, making him catch his breath softly. A moment of unexplainable ectascy swept through the whole crowd as Reoan and Jacob's spiritual connection swarmed around both Guardians.

[I][COLOR=SlateGray]I'm drowning
In a sea deeper than
The darkest ocean
And I search for you now
To take you down
And I hated all the blood
That you made
I wanted you died
And I'll make it that way
But you know what I hate the most
That you're gone
And I'm on this path now
And our love is gone
And all I have are these scars
You will be mine[/COLOR][/I]

Reoan's broad sword lay unshealthed and in her right hand as she walked through the church. The Priest and his paladin were sound asleep in their rooms, while Jacob kept David and Amber occupied in their rooms. They had been through enough and Reoan wasn't about to spill more blood before them.

Her beautiful katana, Isla, lay at her side, hidden within its blue-opal shealth. She placed the broad sword in her left hand, in a nervous attempt to calm her nerves. She shoved the large doors open and stormed through the center isle towards the front of the church.

"Where are you, Pedael!" Reoan threw her sword back into her right hand again, twirling the hilt around in her hand. "Oh come on," Reoan bellowed again. "I know you're here. You've always come to humans as the 'Whom God delievers'."

"But you are no human, Guardian." A heavenly-sweet femmini voice echoed lightly through the massive building.

Reoan swirled around and saw a figure standing just inside the massive doors to the large church center. Reoan smiled as she took a few steps forward.

"Aw, Pedael. Its been so long." Reoan called out as the Angel slowly pulled the doors shut.

"I've been trying to keep it that way." The angel started to walk forward, its massive wings held gracefully behind the very womanly like angel.

"You're so terribly rude, Pedael. Leaving me all alone for so many centuries." Reoan continued to walk forward, playing with her sword. The angel continued to approach as well, arms at her side.

"What do you want, Reoan?" The Angel spat back.

The two stopped just a few feet from each other, staring each other down. The Angel stood much taller than Reoan, her elegant structure putting the ex-Guardian's figure to shame. The Angel's long blonde curls lay drapped across her chest and back in a display of her heavenly beauty.

"Answer a question for me, Pedael." Reoan looked into the soft blue eyes of the creature before her, such hatred burned for the ex-Guardian.

"Can we get this over with already."

"Do you love him?" Reoan said bluntly.

"What?" The angel looked at her puzzled.

"Oh, don't play stupid with me, Pedael. You know what I'm talking about." Reoan gave with a nasty tone.

"Not like its any of your business, but yes, I do love your precious Adoil." The angel spat back.

Before Pedael had time to react, Reoan had rushed at her, sword thrown back and perpared to strike down the angel with a ferious blow. The angel flew out of the way as the blade swung and nearly missed the marble floor. Reoan was back up again, both hands on the massive broad sword. The ex-Guardian swung it around with no effort what-so-ever as the angel tried to avoid the weapon's blows.

"Fight me!" Reoan screamed as the angel lept to the top of the organ and out of Reoan's reach.

"So you can act out your silly little revenge?" The angel mocked. "I don't think so."

Reoan growled. The ex-guardian whispered something under her breath as she pulled one arm back, sword in hand. The angel had her wings out-stretched for balance, a smile mocking the ex-Guardian. Reoan groaned as she chucked the broad sword towards the angel. Pedael gasped as she ducked to try and avoid the blade, exposing her wings completely. The blade spun and collided into the closest wing base. The angel screamed as the blade loped off the feathery wing and sent it crumbling to the church floor below. The blade clanged against the wall and clattered to the floor as well.

The screaming drew the attention of everyone in the church and the first person to appear amongst the pues was the priest.

"What have you done!" the man shouted.

Blood poured every where as the Angel fell to the floor, screaming and wriggling with pain. Reoan drew her attention from the angel and towards the priest. He was rushing towards the fallen holy creature. Reoan watched, a cruel smile on her face as the man dropped to his knees next to the angel. The paladin was soon by his side.

"What have you done! Do you not know what this creature is?" The priest turned his attention towards Reoan.

"Whom God Delievers, Pedael. A holy angel of God's. The graced ones with the white feather wings sent her to protect us from the evil of Satan and Lucifer." Reoan raddled off with a devilish tone.

"You have sold your soul to the devil!" The priest cursed.

"No, Father. My soul has already been damned and I'm setting things back in order." Reoan stepped forward, pulling Isla from her side.

"Reoan! No!"

The ex-Guardian snapped her head around to see Jacob and Amber rush into the room through the massive doors.

"He's an innocent!" Jacob called out.

Reoan turned to look at both the priest and the paladin next to the fallen angel.

"We will take care for them." Jacob said as him and Amber rushed by her. Jacob took the young boy, while Amber took the priest.

"You're all going to Hell if you condone this!" The priest shouted.

"We were condemed from the start." Amber whispered to the man.[/COLOR][/FONT]

OOC: There, much better ;)

Kairi · April 25, 2005

[CENTER][COLOR=DarkSlateGray][SIZE=1][I]This is getting boring...talk talk talk...that's all I hear...come now Lucifer...come now God almighty...stretch out your hands and do something...[/I]

Rubedo couldn't stand listening to them bicker and talk as they were...[I]come now Kadar, instead of showing off your powers and talking in riddles, why don't you just simply show them...[/I]

[I]This is why Guardians should be alone...there is no time for talk such as this...[/I] more and more Rubedo seemed aggitated by simply waiting around. It was better for it to just be Raven and himself...least things were a bit more simplar.

[I]Instead of talking...shouldn't we be out fighting this little war...his creation...[/I] this annoyed Rubedo even more. Why had Reoan asked him to do such a thing...there seemed to be no meaning behind it. Why him...the mere confusion of it all pissed him off, a rage building up within him that hadn't been awakened in a long time. Without his master to direct him...Rubedo was quickly phantomed and bored about everything, becoming more and more bitter; but he'd never show it...there wasn't any point in expression such foolishness.

Sitting there cross legged, listening to the multitude of voices in the background, Rubedo kept his eyes shut trying to block it all out; to regain his strength. [I]Not even a simple thank you...the arrogance of these humans...[/I]

Suddenly something caught his senses...the same sensation that spread across his body when he slay Ezeqeel. [I]Another one has died....Reoan.......so you still persist this........I hope my deed of killing Ezeqeel was to your liking. Who cares who dies or lives anymore...[/I]

Then something else caught his senses...others in the room behind him felt it as well. Kadar was quickly to his feet with the rest of the others as they talked amongst one another. A wind outside the house seemed to pick up...the waves of the ocean outside crashed against the sands of the beach and rocks.

Rubedo opened his eyes and slowly rose to his feet as he strapped his scimitars to his sides. Pulling back one of the blinds, Rubedo looked outside and saw a fleet of shadow looking beings rising up from the waters. He could also smell some demonic aura in the front of the house as well...

Breaking through the window before him, Rubedo climbed out through and stood outside with his feet on the bottom of the window's frame as the creatures turned their attention towards him.

"They're all around us!" yelled out Ben as he and others armed themselves for battle.

Not bothering to inform anyone of what he was doing...Rubedo leaped down into one of the black massed crowds. [/SIZE][/COLOR][/CENTER]

Astdis · April 25, 2005

[COLOR=DarkRed]Kariz looked at Ben, then at the other?s expressions. She had suspected as much herself as far as Reoan went, so had Zane it appeared. Everyone else seemed shocked or upset.

[COLOR=Magenta][B]"Why didn?t you hurt her?"[/B][/COLOR] Camilla asked

The discussion exploded from there. The zodiacs started arguing, no one was yelling, but everyone had an opinion and everyone wanted to be heard at once, either about Reoan or about the transfomation.

Kariz sat on the edge quietly and watched. So did Ima. She noted Ben?s apparent amusement with the situation and Rubedo?s boredom. The Guardian didn?t seem to care about the details. Kariz was inclined to agree. What mattered was the present, not the past; they had to decide what to do next, not argue over what already happened.

She started to drift in thought
[I]That transformation was a neat trick? how did he do it though? If what he said was true, and they could all transform, why didn?t he tell them how?[/I]

Kariz was drawn out of her thoughts when Rubedo stood and went to the window. A second later she felt the chill and stood, looking out the window as well.
[I]Shadows? demon energy? it surrounded the house[/I]. Everyone snapped to attention and the conversation stopped. [I]The present was on the front step, leaning on the doorbell.[/I]

Kariz was armed for a close up fight or a hunt, but for this she decided to try her powers first, then go to weapons if they came closer. Most of the Zodiac followed Rubedo through the back glass door. She saw Ben grab his weapons and head for the front of the house.

[I]He may be a womanizing prick, but he was willing to fight with them, that gained a small bit of her respect.[/I]

She nodded to Ima and they followed Ben out to the front. Let the fight begin?[/COLOR]

You Don't Care · April 25, 2005

Rubedo was the first to take action and Ben had made his way to the front door. Zane had dissapeared into his bedroom to probably gather his things and Daemond had begun to follow Rubedo.

"Something has decided to take us on." Kadar walked to where everyone's weapons were and threw them to their owners. "Camilla. Stay with Ben until Zane is ready. We don't want to be caught alone. Your powers will compliment eachother." Camilla nodded and followed Zane. "Raven, and I will back Rubedo up and try to hold them off until then." Daemond stood at the balcony and looked down into the mass of black. "Daemond. I trust you know what to do if anything happens," Kadar asked, laying his hand on his friend's shoulder. Daemond gave him a nod and glanced toward Ben. "Take him home and anyone who wishes to follow." Raven had already leaped out of the window, wip in hand. Kadar gave her a nod and followed.

Rubedo had made quick work with some of the shadows with the time they took to get out there. Raven had made suit and swiftly attacked any of the apparitions that tried to escape or head toward the house. "Bring it on!"

==========================

"Being invaded by an army of shadows? That sounds like a challenge out of the ordinary," Ben said as he covered the front door, prepared to blast away anything that attempted to go through it. "Shadows? No. They are attacking the back. We have a different encounter coming this way." Daemond had turned around and walked up to where Ben had positioned himself. "These are things that even a gun can hurt," Daemond announced. Ben looked at him and then back to the door.

"All the better, then!"

[COLOR=Sienna]O.O.C.: What could be at the front door? That is for whoever has the next post to decide.[/COLOR]

Ben twirled his guns and took aim as something materialized in front of the group. He put a bullet between it's eyes as it solidified, throwing it backward as more of them appeared. The one he shot slowly rose to it's feet.

'Looks like this is gonna be one crazy party,' he said, 'Let's rock.'

He opened fire. Concentrating on the one he'd already wounded and letting the other two worry about the rest. He heard gunfire as the wind began to pick up and a blast of fire shot past him and into one of the creatures, incinerating it. Another fell to Ima's bullet.

As the one he had been firing on fell, he ran up close and, using it's falling chest as a spring board, he sprang upward and twirled in the air, raining bullets down on a few of the remaining attackers. As he landed, one of them reached out, grabbing him throat. He fired two shots into it's stomach, but it did no good, it held him fast as it leaned in. Ben felt the wind pick up, again. But, it wasn't coming from either of the girls or the other one. Suddenly, he felt a jerk. Then, another. Then he realized what was happening. This thing was trying to suck out his soul.

'To Hell with that.' he said, jamming his gun into the things chin and pulling the trigger. It's head jerked backwards as Ben hopped away.

Landing on one knee, Ben holstered his guns and drew his sword.

'Sorry,' he said, pointing the sword at the creature, 'I don't give it up on the first date.'

The creature gave an eerie cry as an energy blade materialized in it's hand. Ben smirked.

'Where do they get these wonderful toys?' he asked as the creature lunged. Ben brought his sword up and the pair locked blades.

[COLOR=DarkRed]She nodded to Ben and turned to Ima [B]?Let?s party?[/B]

A fireball appeared in her hands and she tossed it like a baseball pitcher heading for the mound. She threw it at the nearest figure and it screamed, bursting into flames and collapsing into dust. She heard Ima?s gun go off behind her and another one dropped. She smiled to herself. All that was missing was Rob Zobie's [I]Dragula[/I] playing in the background. But she could hear it in her head and she threw herself into the fight.

She continued to throw the fireballs, which worked well, but [I]not fast enough. Ima and Ben were making headed way too, but there were too many of them. [/I]

[B]?Ima! A little help?? [/B]

Kariz put her hands together and formed a large ball. The breeze around her started to build. She formed the fire into a long line in front of her.

[B]?Now!?[/B]

The wind hit the fire and spread it across the figures. The screams were almost deafining. The ones that had been blocked from the flame charged Kariz.

She had heard the thuds of falling bodies when Ben?s and Ima?s bullets had hit. These guys were solid. She round-housed the closest one and it flew backwards and had a bowling ball effect on the ones behind it. She shot a line of fire over there bodies and was knocked to the ground by one coming from the side. Kariz pulled her S & W and shot it three times in the gut. It didn?t budge. She heard a sucking sound coming from somewhere within the thing. She strained and tilted the gun and fired into it?s head. It fell.

[B]?Aim for the heads!? [/B] she shouted, rolling back onto her feet and preparing another fireball.

She threw it and another caught and dusted. She turned and saw Daemon leaning against the wall, watching Ben who was locked in a sword fight with one. She noted the weapon he was using.

[B]"You compensating for something with that thing?"[/B]

[COLOR=Black][B]He winked at her "You can let me know, later."[/B][/COLOR]

she rolled her eyes [B]"You got that guy handled then?"[/B]

He sliced upwards, through the creature, then grinned impishly at her [COLOR=Black][B]"Yeah, I think I got it."[/B][/COLOR]

Kariz turned and waded back into the fight.[/COLOR]

Redemption · April 26, 2005

OOC: Sorry I haven't posted in a while. I didn't forget!

[COLOR=DarkGreen][FONT=Trebuchet MS]Raven swifty dodged one shadow and twirled around another. Her blades were out, ready for some action. Her movements were rather sluggish due to the amount of alcohol she consumed earlier, but they were enough to dodge most attacks of these 'shadows'.

[i]Damn..... why are you always like this woman?!? So damned stubborn! And you kissed him for God sakes. He should have got the message then.... I guess I'm a sucker for the ones who don't love back...[/i]

Slashing with her blade, Raven uses her agility to her utmost ability, carving her way through the shadows. But more and more kept coming.

" When will these things ever stop?!?!?" Raven yelled in frustration. The glimmer of her blades caught Rubedo's attention for a slight second. He noticed she was rather not herself in battle. Usually she was cocky and determined, but now she wasn't focused and her movements showed it.

A shadow caught Raven by the cheek, sending her flying down to the beach. She rolled across the sand and stopped just where the water lapped the white sand. Getting up slowly, Raven spat the blood out of her mouth and looked up to see herself surrounded by the shadows. They were hard to see in the darkness now that Zane's house lights didn't aid her. Her eyes slowly adjusted to the dim light.

Whooshing sounds were all around her. Raven felt the water lap against her boots.

" Why won't you just go away!!!!" Raven screamed, letting out a huge surge of electricity. It conducted in the water and electrocuted the ones near her. But they kept coming... and coming. Raven dropped to her knees, breathing hard, exhausted.

She hadn't recovered nowhere near enough to be fighting. She felt her heart beat racing. She clutched her chest in pain. The shadows just loomed over her ominiously. Feeling darkness take over, Raven collapsed into the shallows of the beach. Her last thought was ....

[i]Rubedo...[/i][/FONT][/COLOR]

[center]-----------------------------------------------[/center]

[COLOR=Navy][FONT=Times New Roman]Zane rushed into his room and gathered what belongings he had.

[i]My piece of paradise is going to be ruined by the damned creatures if they continue. I have to stop them.[/i]

He heard Camilla walk in behind him. Stuffing his things into a bag, Zane quickly turned around, that demon look in his eyes.

" Lets go Camilla, before these shadows ruin my home."
Camilla nodded, dumbfounded by the evil look in Zane's eyes. Tey walked quickly out of Zane's bedroom and to the others. Taking out a sword he had now straped to his back, he joined the fray.[/FONT][/COLOR]

OOC: Sorry its not really good. Here's your opportunity Kairi.

You Don't Care · April 26, 2005

[COLOR=Sienna]O.O.C.: Sorry to ruin your opportunity, Reiku. But I have to post, regardless![/COLOR]

Raven had collapsed. Rubedo had not noticed, due to his effort on the main concentration of shadows. It was up to Kadar to get her to safety.

"RUBEDO! GRAB RAVEN WHEN I MAKE IT CLEAR AND HEAD TO THE FRONT! ZANE IS READY TO LEAVE!"

He wasn't sure whether Rubedo understood or not, but Kadar went and got ready anyways. Kadar clenched his fists in concentration and then spread his fingers in front of his face.

"COVER YOUR EYES!" Kadar swept his arms away and his palms faced the ground as he yelled to the sky.

"HYPER LIIIIGHT!" His entire body lit like a light bulb and the light intensified with every second. The beams pushed the shadows away and Raven was left open. Rubedo had already made his move and picked her up. The light grew so bright that everything was completely white. "TO THE FRONT! QUICK!" Kadar shouted as he leaped into the air with tremendous force, past the limit of the light and over the house. Rubedo had done the same and they both made over it easily.

Ben, Ima, and Kariz were fighting more creatures in the front. Kadar clenched his fist again and gathered more light energy. He centered his descent into the thickest of the army and plunged his fist to the ground. A slight shockwave threw some of the shadows back and more light engulfed the swarm. Rubedo landed gently, Raven in his arms. Zane and Camilla exited the house to join everyone who had gathered to where Kadar had made room.

[COLOR=RoyalBlue]"I have everything! Let's get going!"[/COLOR] Zane had pointed out making the lead.

"Just when things were getting fun!" Ben smirked, shooting a few more targets.

"Kariz!" Kadar looked over his shoulder. "Use your ability to push them back so we can make our escape!"

[COLOR=DeepSkyBlue][I]Jupiter and Saturn, Oberon, Miranda and Titania.
Neptune, Titan, Stars can frighten.
Blinding signs flap,
Flicker, flicker, flicker blam. Pow, pow...[/I]

The lyrics kept ringing through her head as she picked off shadow after shadow...but for every shadow that fell, it seemed, another five took its place. Fortunatly, she hadn't needed to draw her sword yet...all she needed was to nudge the bullets just [I]so[/I] with the tiniest air current, and they would hit their target dead on every time. Between that, and supporting Kariz's fireballs with enough oxygen to make them twice as deadly, her powers were getting a workout today.

She could see part of what she assumed was Raven's lightening out of the corner of her eye; it was impressive, but she didn't dare take her eyes off the shadows. She emptied her glock into the shadowy crowd, pausing only long enought to slide a new clip into the magazine before firing again.

[B][I]This is becoming tedious...[/I][/B]

And then everything went white. Ima blinked furiously, trying to clear her eyes. [B][I]What idiot did that? I can't see...[/I][/B] Something brushed past her, sending a firey, burning pain across her cheek and left arm. She cursed, spinning and attempting to clear her eyes long enough to shoot whatever it was that had just done that.

[B][COLOR=RoyalBlue]"I have everything! Let's get going!"[/COLOR] [/B] Ima followed Zane's voice, still trying to blink away the light[B].[I] I'm going to give that Kadar a piece of my mind, soon as we're out of this...[/I][/B] She vowed. [B][I]You don't blind EVERYONE in a fight... [/I][/B] Ben sounded disappointed that they were leaving...Ima shook her head, vision slowly returning. There were still shadows everwhere...

[COLOR=Black][B]"Kariz! Use your ability to push them back so we can make our escape!" [/B][/COLOR] Ima smirked, raising an eyebrow at Kariz, letting the winds gather around her to whip her hair in crazy directions around her head. Kariz grinned back, flames licking between her fingers. Ima concentrated her full attention to the shadows in front of them, manipulating the air so it caused an almost-wall around the group....in essence, they were standing in the eye of a very small hurricane...

A hurricane that was about to gain some serious firepower.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=DarkOrange]OOC: Have fun, Astdis...[/COLOR]

demonchild781 · April 26, 2005

[COLOR=DarkOrchid][FONT=Arial Narrow]The massive white feathered wing lay twitching by the organ, blood spuing from its base. Pedael was crawling to her feet now, reaching for her shoulder where her wing once stood. Tears were streaming down her face and blood covered her white clothing. Reoan held her head high, Isla hanging by her side as she walked forward.

"How's it feel, Angel?" Reoan snarled.

Padael threw a hand forward in an attempt to send her flying back, but nothing became of the angel's attempt. Fear raged across her face, her eyes wide and her body trembling.

"You've lost your angelic powers, Angel." Reoan continued to walk forward, her head bent down to look at the angel, while the rest of her stood completely straight. "You're almost mortal now. Blood washing over your pure body. Your own blood."

The angel looked at her hands. They were covered in bright red liquid...her blood. Padael stumbled to her feet, her body off balance with the missing wing. She tried to call for her angelic blade, but was unable to. Trying to fly would be useless.

"Where is your precious God now, Padael? Why isn't God here to save you?" Reoan corned the angel against a wall, the distant screams of the priest and the paladin echoed through the massive church.

"You would...you would kill in this holy place?" Padael shook.

Reoan smirked. "This place is not holy to me. Its just another building built by the human masses. The only thing its good for is calling you to me." Reoan rushed forward and shoved her sword straight through the angel's abdomen. She screeched as her whole body folded towards that one point. Reoan have another thrust as the blade clanged against the wall behind Padael.

"You feel that? The undescrible pain that rushes through your body? It cries out and you can feel every muscle, every nerve in your body failing you. Your head swarms with darkness, but not because you're dying. Oh no. You can't die still angel. No, your wound will remain on your body for all eternity because you're still immortal." Reoan jerked the blade from Padael's body and watched her fall face first onto the marble floor.

Reoan took a deep breath as she looked towards the ceiling. She closed her eyes and drowned out all the noise that swarmed inside her head. She drew her head back down and with a swift slice, cut Padael's last wing off. The angel cried out again as she rolled over in unexplainable miseary and pain. Reoan wrinkled her nose as she stradled the creature. Blood rushed out from all of Padael's wounds as the angel wriggled under Reoan.

"Now you're dying." Reoan leaned in towards the crying angel. "And you will die as a mortal and judged just like the rest!" Reoan rose, placed both hands on the hilt of Isla, and shoved the sword straight threw Padael's tender chest. A sick pop echoed through the chruch as one last gasp left Padael's lips. Her body feel limp and Reoan pulled her sword from the carcass.

The priest and paladin were soon by the angel's side, checking for a pulse. Reoan sneered and walked away.

Amber said nothing as she approached Reoan and handed her the broad sword she had thrown. The ex-Guardian took it silently as she walked past both Jacob and the demoness.

"I heard screams." David walked up behind Reoan just after her entering her room.

She turned around and looked at the Grigori half-breed.

"I am sorry to have woke you." Reoan said softly, bringing her eyes towards the floor when David noticed the blood covered katana.

"You did not kill the priest and his paladin, did you?"

Reoan smiled slightly at his foolishness. "No, David. I killed Padael, one of the twelve."

"Oh." The Grigori fell quiet for a moment. "Does that mean we need to leave again?"

Reoan nodded.

"I will go pack our things." With that David left Reoan's sight.[/FONT][/COLOR]

Astdis · April 26, 2005

[COLOR=DarkRed]Kariz grinned at Ima as the flames rose from her hands

[B]?It?s getting hot in here?[/B]

A large fireball appeared between her hands, she moved her hands a circular motion around the ball making grow larger. Then she moved her hands far apart and spread the flame into a long wide line, and pushed it toward the shadows and soul reavers.

It hit the wind and exploded into a huge circular wall of flame. The soul things caught and screamed, burning and dieing, the shadows cringed back from the intensity of it.

Kariz high-fived Ima and they ran for the cars. Zane, Camilla, Rubedo and Raven were in the first car. She pulled the back door of the second, which Kadar was driving, open and Ima climbed in next to Daemon. Ben turned in his seat to look at Kariz patting his lap.

[COLOR=Black][B]?There?s room up here for you?[/B][/COLOR]

Kariz rolled her eyes and squeezed in next to Ima, jamming her knees up into the back of Ben?s seat.

[COLOR=DimGray][B]?Everybody in??[/B][/COLOR] Kadar asked[/COLOR]

[COLOR=DeepSkyBlue][B]?Yep?[/B][/COLOR]

[COLOR=DimGray][B]?Let?s roll?[/B][/COLOR]
