RPG Stones of Power [M-LVS]

[Deadpool]

Karne saw Talon and Alicina out of the corner of his eye. "Let me introduce you to Lust" He walked over and grabbed Talon by the collar of his shirt. "Why don't you leave the girl alone, clearly she doesn't like you and you are getting on her and my nerves" He threw Talon against the locker as Sena stood directly off to the side as Talon left. Karne turned to Alcina. "Alcine meet Sena, or Chaos and Red as you call him"

"I was just asking her a question and besides she is letting you on she was actually happy to see me" he said without a change in face
"I dont know why I keep talking to her, but I do she's the only one with a stone so far until now" Talon said
"so if you dont mind leave me be"

[COLOR=Indigo]Sena woke up right at six am. He didn?t need an alarm clock, he never had. He got up and quickly showered and got ready to go to the High School. He took extra care in strapping his dual knifes and other various weapons in place as he didn?t want anything to slip free. It didn?t matter if it was only a High School. Unless there were metal detectors he never went anywhere unarmed. When he had passed by the building yesterday he had seen no such precautions. But then most teenagers were not hardened assassins like he was.

It was kind of ironic as Sena had never stepped foot in a High School before. All his schooling had been done by the government as part of his training, any time not spent on a mission was spent honing your skills and studying various subjects in order to help you blend in with the regular population. It had included not only what one would learn in High School but shortly before the Red stone came for him they had started him on college based classes as well. It was boring, but he studied it diligently as he was not one to turn down information that would assist him in destroying others.

He finished putting everything into place and picked up the necessary documents for him to be able to sign up at the school without the presence of parents. That was yet another skill he had been taught, forging identification papers. He tucked the papers into his pocket and left the hotel to head for the school. As he walked towards the school he thought back to the last time he had been in any type of public school. It had been a year ago as part of an assignment.

He had been ordered to destroy a junior high school girl who was the daughter of a prominent politician. His orders were to make it look like an accident. Sena had carefully researched the school and found a disgruntled former chemistry teacher that had been fired. It had taken close to three weeks but he had carefully made sure that the trail from the homemade bomb would lead straight to the former teacher. He had even made sure it was built out of materials that any chemistry teacher would know how to do.

Then when everyone was gathered in an assembly he had detonated the bomb, killing over 500 students, including the intended target. It had worked perfectly and the chemistry teacher was not only caught, but also found guilty of pre-meditated murder. Sena smiled, it had been quite enjoyable watching all the rubble and shrapnel as it flew in all directions from the blast. He had carefully placed the bomb so that the blast resulted in body parts flying all over the place. It had taken the authorities weeks to start piecing the parts together.

Sena pulled his thoughts together as he entered the building and headed towards the main office. Within a very short time he was signed up as a transfer student and armed with the information of where his new locker was and his class schedule he left to walk over to the next building. As he approached the doors he could clearly feel an aura of darkness.

[I]He is here, the leader of the stones of evil. He?s on the other side of those doors. [/I]The red stone said.

?I know I can feel it? Sena replied.

He opened the door and walked in. His attention was immediately drawn to one who was leaning against the lockers watching him. Sena knew that he was the leader that the Red stone had told him about. He could see it in his cold demeanor and icy eyes. Sena matched his look as he walked just past him to reach his locker. Not in challenge but rather in displaying his strength and determination to serve as a messenger of destruction. He opened his locker to check the combination and then closed it, as he had nothing to place inside.

?What?s your name? I really don?t want to have to keep calling you Red all the time.?

Sena turned to face the leader and after slightly bowing his head in respect he said. ?I am Sena.?

Karne smiled. ?I am Karne, have you met Lust or Greed yet?? he asked.

Sena shook his head no.

Karne started to say something else but his attention was caught by a disagreement between two other students.

?Let me introduce you to Lust.?

Sena followed Karne as he walked over and grabbed the guy who was arguing with the girl who had penetrating emerald green eyes. It was clear to Sena that she was one chosen by the stone of Lust. He watched as Karne slammed the guy hard into the locker. It felt a bit strange but obviously he was one of those who possessed a stone of neutrality.

[I]Interesting.[/I] He thought.

[I]What do you mean Sena?[/I] The Red stone asked.

[I]He may be neutral but yet he deliberately baits Lust. He can see the weakness in Black and yet he doesn?t seem to see his own in regards to Lust.[/I] Sena thought.

Talon stormed away and Karne turned back to Sena and Alcine as if nothing had happened.

?Alcine meet Sena, or Chaos and Red as you call him.?

Alcine batted her eyes and smiled her most winsome smile at Sena. But other than to nod politely to her the cold look in his eyes did not change. Alcine sighed inwardly; [I]well at least he?s not getting on my nerves [/I]she thought.
[I]
Don?t worry Alcine, if Talon gets in our way Sena will cut him down without a second thought. Even his stone of neutrality may not be enough to protect him.[/I]Lust whispered in her mind. Alcine smiled at the thought.

?Now, how about you tell us what you know Sena?? Karne said.

Sena wondered what to tell them first, he decided to start by explaining about the girl with the blue-black hair with the protective barrier and the other one who joined her, he may not know what she looked like but he was positive that she was one of the ones chosen by the stones of good. Sena put his thoughts in order as he had been trained to do and started to explain in full detail his two encounters regarding the stones of good.[/COLOR]

[Deadpool]

"You weren't bred on the streets. If I guess you almost were trained to move and walk that" Kanre suddenly flung a knife at Sena who caught it with teh point away from the center of his head. "Seems I got someone who i can learn from. Every bit will help when the time comes" The bell rang as Karne patted Alcina on the head. "See you later and if you find out who Greed is, be sure to tell me will you hon" He saw Sena walking away out of the corner of his eye. "Where are you going"

"The bell rang and i am going to class"

Karne shook his head. "you really don't want to go to class, I can tell by the look in your eyes. It was you who sent that bomb off and wiped out about half of my friends, but that is the price you have to pay in order to get something better. Just try not to take out anymore" He led Sena out the door and into the parking lot. He opened the door to a lifted black Dodge Ram and cranked it up as Sena climbed in. The rumbling of the engine seemed to make all of the other cars shake. Karne drove to a gym a few blocks down and led Sena inside and onto a ring. "Alright, I know your a better fighter then me and that I could never compare to years of training you have and I respect you for that. Show just teach me things as they come to your mind, I pick up quick" He paused for a second. "And if you don't go easy just because i am your leader and you need me to tell you who to kill. Okay?"

Sena nodded.

"Let's go"

[digiX]

Talon looked at is Iternary he had a clas and he went to his class and saw Alcina he smiled and sat next to her
"Hi" he said smirking
"and you never answered my question why exactly were you so happy to see me before so can you answer my question and i swear i wont bother you again" Talon said
"and dont bother lying I'll no if you are" he said he smirked

[FONT=Trebuchet MS]OOC: Sorry about the late post guys, exam week ><

[COLOR=SandyBrown]"Mum! I'm going to school!"
"Alright honey, just be careful okay? They said on the news that there've been thieves at the museum!" Diane's mother called back.
Diane quickly did her shoulder-length golden hair up in a tight bun. As she did this, a new white-gold bracelet dropped down her wrist. Inset in the bracelet was a small gold stone.

[b]Two days previously[/b]
"Daddy? Could you [b][i]please get me a new bracelet? I want this stone put on it[/i][/b]." Diane had asked her father, layering her voice with choir-sounding hypnosis.
"Of course dear," he had replied, wide-eyed and vegetable-like.

[b]Current point[/b]
[i]Now that we've met Lust, all we need is to find Chaos and Darkness...Dark's our leader, just so you know...[/i]
"Well duh, the leader of the bad guys is always Darkness...jeez you act as though I'm still a kid," came Di's snappy reply.
[i]Ooh, someone's a little fiesty this morning. Lets go, quickly. While we are separated from the rest of the group, all four of us are weakened. Once together we cannot be picked off one by one...[/i]

Flinging her Chanel handbag over her shoulder she dashed downstairs and hopped on her motorcycle. Such a hardcore mode of transport for one of the most ditzy girls in her school.

Gracefully dismounting from her bike, Di put her Chanel shades on and walked into school, hips swaying in an alluring fashion.
"Hey babe, why the rush? Let's hang out for a bit," came a familiar male voice.
"Michael, not now!" she turned and smiled.
"Aww, come on baby, we haven't seen each other in at least a week! I'm starting to think you don't want me anymore," Di's boyfriend pretended to wipe a tear from his eye.
The truth was, Di had been trying to think of a way to get rid of Mike. He was a good-looking guy, but that was the only reason she had kissed him at that party over 2 months ago...
[i]Got a little too greedy eh? Well, lets fix that then...[/i] the gold stone's voice sounded menacing in Di's head.
"Look, Michael, I need to get to class. I can't miss one more for you..." she said sternly, but Mike wasn't listenning, one of "The Girls" was walking past.
[i]Now's your chance...DO IT[/i]
"[b][i]Look Michael, I don't have time for you at the moment, but she certainly looks like she does...she actually wanted me to give you a love letter, but I got a little jealous. I realise my mistake now, so do her the honour of taking her now. Take her to the moon and back...[/i][/b]"
Michael had moved off towards "The Girl".

[i]Wow, you came up with all that crap just then? You're getting the hang of this. Try not to drag it out or be so corny though...make's me sick...[/i]
"Well you sound rather laid back, why's that?" Di asked, moving off to class.
[i]Stop talking and think for a minute. Feel something?[/i]
"Alcina! And there're two more similar feelings...but there's something else there...it's like a nagging itch..." she responded slowly, then began to scratch her left arm.
[i]Yes, that would be a neutral...wasn't expecting one of them, not yet anyway. Thought you may get the chance to get some fighting experience first.[/i]
"What?"
[i]Neutrals are dangerous. They don't work for the light stones, but they appear to mess around with us anyway. I'm not 100% sure if they play the same games with the light stones though...[/i]
"I see...well whatever, I'm going to class now. Don't bother me unless its important"

"Hey you!" Di called at the boy sitting next to Alcina. He looked up, "Yeah, you. That's where I sit. [i][b]You want to sit over in that corner[/b][/i]."
She motioned over to one corner of the classroom. He just shrugged and went back to what seemed like interrogating Alcina.
[i]...I was going to mention...he's the neutral. Learn to sense things for yourself, girl.[/i][/COLOR]

Ok guys, sorry again for taking so long for the first post to go up ><[/FONT]

[Horendithas]

[COLOR=Indigo]The knife that Karne threw at him did not surprise Sena, he had been expecting a test of some sort and he caught it without a second thought. He was not upset either; if he had failed to catch the knife he would have been unworthy of being chosen by the Red stone of destruction.

He followed Karne?s instructions and went with him out to his car. When Karne put together the fact that it was him and not the former chemistry teacher who had planted the bomb in the school he did not respond. As he was the black stone it was not surprising that he had realized who was responsible for the incident. It was part of the stones power to see the darkness in others and he had enjoyed killing all those children.

As for killing his other friends, well who Karne chose to be a part of the visions was really none of his business. He had no intention of killing anyone that Karne wanted alive. The only circumstance in which he would kill any of his friends would be if they were plotting to destroy Karne. If that were to happen, not even Lust or Greed would be safe.

The one thing he understood perfectly from the visions was that without the stone of black, it would not come to pass. Anyone who got in the way would be mowed down without a second thought.

As Sena followed Karne into the gym he watched his movements studying what he was capable of. He did have power, but he clearly lacked any expert training. So when Karne ordered him to teach him he obeyed.

As Karne watched he turned his back on him and briefly left the ring. Without a word he removed all the weapons he was carrying and placed them on a chair. His knifes, pistols, and other accessories such as a silencer and specially prepared wire for strangling your target to death. When he was finished there was a small arsenal of weapons and gadgets; all of them useful in tracking down and eliminating a target. Lastly he removed the Red stone of destruction and placed it with the weapons before returning to the ring.

Karne was watching him, his eyes narrowed thoughtfully. [I]Interesting.[/I] He thought.

?Now, show me what you can do, you may use what ever weapon you wish, though if you wish to use a gun I recommend borrowing one of mine with a silencer as we do not want to attract attention, at least not while we are training.? Sena paused and then continued. ?I want you to do your best to kill me if you can. To be perfectly blunt, as you are now you lack the skills to hurt me, but if I am to teach you anything I need to see what you can do.?

Karne did not reply but instead took his gun from his pocket and tossed it out of the ring. He pulled out another knife like the one he had thrown at Sena earlier, only this one was twice as long. He hefted the 10-inch blade briefly getting a feel for it and then lunged towards Sena without warning.

Just as Sena had caught the blade before he did so again. Then with a twist of his wrist he forced Karne to the side and let go causing Karne to stumble into the side ropes of the ring. Karne circled warily before lunging again, but this time Sena simply sidestepped the attack and he nearly fell over the ropes as he attempted to stop his momentum.

For the next 10 minutes they continued and it seemed that no matter what he did Sena eluded him. Karne started to get frustrated, he had told him to not go easy on him! This wasn?t teaching him anything! He turned around after missing yet again only to stop when Sena suddenly called out for him to stop. He took a deep breath and lowered the knife. He would wait to see what Sena did next.

?Good, now remove all your weapons as I did, including the stone of power. Right now your moves are being enhanced by the power of the stone. The Red stone has told me that there will be times when we will have to rely on our own skills so I do not want you to use the stone to help you learn. It will be harder, but in the long run you will be more powerful as you will not require the stone?s assistance in executing what I can teach you.? Sena said.

Karne thought about it for a moment and then did as Sena suggested, he briefly left the ring and removed the other weapons he was carrying and also set the stone of power down with them. He returned to the ring.

?Now, we are not going to fight, but rather you are going to show me the different strangle holds that you are familiar with. I in turn will show you how to break free of them, though I will not actually use the necessary pressure to stimulate your nerves, as I do not want to actually put you out of action. Once we have gone over what you know, I will show you what I know as well and how to break free from those holds as well.? Sena paused and smiled, ?If we are still here tomorrow I will quiz you by having you practice the various pressured point attacks on the students to see how well you learned them. Or if we leave any one in our way will serve as a test subject as well. Once you have learned that we can continue by learning something new each day. ?

Sena paused and continued, ?You are correct in the assessment that I am trained to move this way. From the time I was ten I trained myself, when I turned thirteen I started putting my training into use. I eliminated over 50 people before the government caught me when I was 15. Since then they have continued to train me and I have worked for the past 3 years as an assassin. Though now that I have been chosen I have severed my ties to the government. Now lets begin.?

Karne moved forward to show Sena what he knew. He was familiar with such tactics so it would be interesting to see what he did not know. And it definitely would be interesting to test it on the weak fools at the High School. He was still uncertain on what to expect but so far this was proving to be interesting.[/COLOR]

[Galvatron]

Benard lead the way down the street trusting the white stone that was safely zippered away in his jacket pocket.

Benard " I guess your out of high school ? " Benard asked Kain

Kain " Yes I am , I work and I don't like my boss at all."

Benard " I graduated last year ,I don't work but I go to Junior College."

Matt " He takes care of me when mom has a late shift at work." Matt replied .

Kain " Your brother won't be a liability will he."

Benard " He can be tough when he want's to be. Just too be on the safe side. I can drop him off at are cousins house past the high school."

The trio made it a few blocks and when they crossed the high school. The stones that belonged to Benard and Kain reacted.

Kain " That high school is surrounded by darkness."

Benard " Yeah I feel it ! It's so cold , let's hurry up before something happens."

Benard took Matt to their cousins house as Kain watched and stood gaurd.

Benard " Me and my friend are going to play basketball. I don't want Matt just watching or he will get bored."

Cousin " Okay Matt can stay here."

Benard and Kain left Matt in the safe hands of family. Now the two went to look for the others.

[Apherion]

OOC: Yeah, just as Satori said, sh'es got exams so...yeah. Just reminding everyone.
[COLOR=Purple]IC:
Alcina glared at Talon like he was the ugliest thing on earth. She completely spazed about telling Karne about Diane being Greed.

"You are so infuriating, Talon." She whispered. "I might have passed off as happy-to you-but I was not. I was anticipating my friend's-whose seat you are sitting in-arrival. As you saw, she was there before me. Now, will I have to [B]force[/B] you to get out of Diane's seat, or will you go quietly?" She was daring him to stay sitting. Her look was murderous, yet with that tempting look. She so wanted to hit him, and if she could-

"I don't think you've given me the truth, Alci-NA!" At that moment, his chair tipped. "Why'd you do that?" Talon asked sporting a couple of bruises.

"Me?" Alcina asked innocently. "I did nothing. You were the one tipping the chair like you were cool." Diane gave her the thumbs up for how remarkable she made that look.

"We'll talk later, Ali." Talon got up, but before he could leave, a bottle hit his back, but bounced off.

"No one calls me 'Ali'." Her voice sounded spectactularly dark. Diane picked the chair from its spot on the floor and sat it up right. Sitting in it she began to talk with Alcina.

"Who was that?"

"Some annoying pest that has the nerve to think I dig him... I think you had the same problem."

"Different reasons."

"Technically, they were the same-you got greedy...and well-" Alcina just blushed a little.

"Understandable. So what's the kid's name?"

"Talon," Alcina made a gesture clearly stating she wanted to do nothing but wrap her hands around his neck and squeeze tightly. Both Di and Al got through their class together and the bell finally rang.

"Catch'ya!" Alcina said to Diane.

"You too!" Alcina and Diane were seperated in the sea of students and Alcina began to look for Karne. She found Karne in the gym and was not surprised to see Sena with him.

"Karne!" Alcina called at him. She knew it was quite stupid of her to do that, but he would want to know immediately she assumed. It would be better than waiting for them to figure out she was there and stop what they were doing. She'd be more liking cuffed over the head for not telling Karne important information.

"Yes?" She walked up to Karne and Sena, smiling beatifully at each.

"I know who Greed is. It's Diane."[/COLOR]

[digiX]

Talon was detemined he never got the truth but she had answered his question so he kept his word but left a note on her locker

[I] Dear Alcina,
I no your not being honest and I will find the truth out but will keep my word as a gentleman but if your curious as why I've been bothering its very simple as a posser as the neutral stone Its my job there are to neatreal stones sight and sound sight aka me keeps the evil stone delayed and sound keeps light delayed so they dont fight eachother and destroy countless innocents so I applogize but I wont stop but i'll see you later byer

Love Talon [/I]
Talon sighed walking off snickering waiting for her reaction

meanwhile...

Kalou spied a very well built boy with a sliver stone she snickered
"founds'ya" she snickered

[SunfallE]

[COLOR=DarkOliveGreen][I]Sandra, get off at the next town. [/I]The pink stone said. [I]Both you and Sasha are exhausted and you will need a place to rest.[/I]

?But wouldn?t it be better if we waited until we put a bit more distance between us and the darkness?? Sandra asked.

[I]No. It was very faint but I believe that the others are there. There was so much darkness that It was difficult to tell, but now that we are further away I am positive that we are heading away from them. I can?t always feel them, but I always know if I am going in the correct direction.[/I] The stone said.

?If they are there, then why didn?t we get off?? Sandra asked.

[I]Because I think the one you encountered before was tracking Sasha. I?m sorry I didn?t mention it before, but truthfully with all the darkness I was not certain.[/I] The Pink stone said.

Sandra shivered. Just the thought of the hatred and darkness she encountered the other day was enough to make her want to run as far away as possible. She sighed inwardly. She did not want to return to that city. Even if the others were there she most definitely did not want to be near the darkness. Though she suspected that sooner or later she would have no choice if they were to stop them. She knew about the legend of the Stones of Power and being chosen by the Pink stone meant that she would eventually be called upon to fight those who were chosen by the stones of evil.

Had the stone chosen her because of her ability? If so she was going to have to become far stronger than she currently was. And just how was she to stop a stone of evil? Was it possible to destroy the stone? She didn?t know if she could bring herself to kill another human being. She had always healed others; she had never hurt anyone. Even when she had protected herself from would be bullies she had simply pushed them away.

As the train started to approach the station she stood up and offered her hand to Sasha.

?It?s time to get off.? She said.

Sasha looked up but didn?t move or reply.

?It?s alright, we are only going to go find a place to rest for the night.? Sandra said.

Sasha looked back down and softly said, ?I don?t have any money to pay for a place to stay.?

?That?s alright, I do.? Sandra replied. It was the only thing she didn?t have to worry about, as her parents were quite rich. So rich that most of the time they were gone traveling abroad to different countries. It was part of why she had her own apartment, as she didn?t like being home alone in their huge empty mansion. She did stay with them when they were home for a day or two, but most of the time since she turned sixteen they were gone.

Sasha looked back up and timidly grasped Sandra?s hand allowing her to help her stand up in the moving train. A few minutes later they both got off and after getting directions from the ticket office they walked into town.

Fortunately it wasn?t very far and within moments they arrived. Sandra quickly signed up for a room with two beds and once inside she ordered some dinner for both of them.

She set her things on the bed closest to the window and sat down. Sasha had already sat down on the other bed.

Sasha didn?t know what to think, she couldn?t possibly pay Sandra back for her share of the room, or for the dinner for that matter. She did have some food with her but she hadn?t told Sandra. She gathered her courage to ask her a question.

?So what are we going to do next?? She finally asked.

?We have to return to the city where you got on the train.? Sandra replied.

[I]Back? I can?t go back![/I] She thought! She fought to keep from crying.

Sandra could clearly sense how terrified she was of returning. She got up and came over and sat down next to Sasha.

?We have to go back, the other stones of good are still in that city. We need them if we are going to stop the darkness. I don?t fully understand it, but apparently the one who leads us is there.? She paused, and then reached over and gently clasped Sasha?s hands in her own before continuing. ?I know that you have been beaten and hurt by others, but you must trust me as this is what we need to do.?

Sasha was too surprised by her knowing that she had been bullied to reply.

?I cannot promise to protect you from the darkness, but against those who do not posses a stone of darkness I can and will. So long as you stay close to me I can extend my barrier to include you. And if we should encounter the darkness I promise to do my best to protect you from that as well.? Sandra said. She let go of her hands and waited for her to reply.
[I]
She speaks the truth Sasha. So long as you stay close she possesses the ability to create a protective barrier.[/I] The Blue stone said in her mind. [I] You too have abilities though quite different than hers. [/I]

[I]I do?[/I] Sasha thought.

[I]Yes, though it is not yet the right time for you to use them. I will explain later once we have found the others. But for now you must trust her. If we are careful we should be able to find the others without running into the evil stones.[/I] The Blue stone finished.

?Okay, I?ll go back.? Sasha told Sandra.

Both girls jumped when someone knocked on the door. Sandra laughed. ?I guess we both are a bit jumpy.? She smiled and got up to answer the door. It was room service with their dinner. Once they had something to eat and rested, perhaps she would play for Sasha again. Now that she had been with the stone longer she was becoming better at sensing what others felt and Sasha was still quite tense and fearful. Tomorrow was going to be dangerous and they needed their rest.

As she brought the food back and handed Sasha her dinner she made up her mind that if necessary she would use her power to help them both sleep. There was no way she was going to willingly face the darkness tomorrow if both of them were exhausted. [/COLOR]

[Deadpool]

Karne stopped and jumped out of the ring and walked over to Alcina. "So Diana is Greed. Trying to figure out if that is good or bad. Oh well, she is probably it for a reason" He turned to Sena. "We will continue another day, so you can go become a walking army again and get your weapons." He turned adn walked out and started his truck as Sena came out minutes later. "Hop in, i guess we go find Diana now. Are you coming Alcina?"

[BlackTigerGurl]

[FONT=Times New Roman][COLOR=DeepSkyBlue][LEFT]Sasha picked at her food unwilling to eat it. Something inside of her wouldn't let her eat the finest food she would ever get in front of her. The aroma should have made her mouth water but instead it made her sick.

"I'm not all to hungry right now,"she said setting her plate on the table by her bed.

"But you must eat. You need your strength for when we go to battle the darkness," Sandra said staring at Sasha as she slowly got up and walked over to the of the bathroom.

"I'll eat...Just not now,"she said opening the door and stepping in shutting it behind her. Sandra just stared at the closed door of the bathroom.

Once in the bathroom, Sasha stared at her reflection in the mirror thinking hard. This was still a big shock to her, it all just came so suddenly. She had asked for an escape and she gotten one but why? Why her?

"Why me,"she mutter to herself looking away at her reflection in disgust,"I know I asked for an escape but this is sending me farther into the shadows I tried to run away from. I...I...don't have the confidence for this. I'll..end up...letting everyone down." She gripped the edge of the sink tightly as she let the tears fall down from her face into the sink. She gripped the sink so tightly that her hands actually turned a very pale white.

"I'll let them all down like I did my mother and I can't afford that. I can't afford the pain again."

[I]'Stop it, Sasha,'[/I]said the Blue Stone clearly in her mind. It sounded furious and full of rage sending a shiver down Sasha's spine. The Stone glowed brightly either from anger or annoyance but either or it was still magnificent in the dim lighting of the bathroom.

"It's the truth. This is how I feel and I don't...,"she started but was cut of before she could finish.

[I]'That won't happen. I know you have seen death in your life time and that is why you hold tuch terror to your heart. But you need to release this fright from your body, Sasha. It will only get in the way of this battle,'[/I]the Stone said calming its self down a bit,[I]'I'm the stone of fear and I can help you overcome your fear. Just trust me and your teammates, okay?"[/I]

Sasha sniffed for a minute finally letting go of the sink. "I'll try," she muttered ripping some tissue for her nose.

[I]'You won't try, you will.'[/I]

"I will..." With that she opened the door of the bathroom and sat back on the bed.

"Are you okay,"Sandra asked looking at her concerned.

"I'm fine. I just needed to think some things over, that's all,"Sasha said smiling warmly up at Sandra.

"I'm glad,"she said returning the smile.[/LEFT][/COLOR][/FONT]

Kain and Benard had been walking around for hours looking for the others and the day was almost over .

Benard " Hey I don't know about you but it's getting late."

Kain " Well we can continue to search for the others but it's your call."

Benard " I'll take my chances in the morning too continue searching. Besides I don't want to around the train tracks at night. As for you Kain it's you can go home or continue too search."

Kain " Any place you want to meet up tomorrow ? "

Benard " How about we meet up about ten O clock at the train tracks."

Kain " Your the leader and that is your call."

Benard waved bye to Kain as he took off to his cousins house to go get his brother Matt and from their head home before night fall.

Benard you should of stayed with Kain. Together both of could face the darkness with more strength. Now with both of you split up, if the darkness should encounter any one of you , your chances of victroy are very slim. It was your choice as leader and your going to have to live with any consequences that come from your decisions. The white stone replied.

Benard " Hey Kain is a big guy he can take care of himself white stone."

[COLOR=DarkGreen][SIZE=1]As Kain walked away from Benard he just talked to himself.

[B]"Hope that darkness is gone, that force made me feel really sick."[/B] At that moment someone busted out of a near by tree and jumped on top of Kain, the person was on his back laughing as Kain spun around. Kain soon got a grip on the person and tore them off, he swung the person around for a moment and threw them into the trees bulk. Kain made his way back to the person and grabbed them by the throat, he soon found it was girl. He looked her over.
[B]
"And who are you?"[/B] Kain said the mysterious girl, the girl seemed to be able to release herself from his grip and disappear in the darkness. Kain didn't follow, he just rolled his neck and resumed his walk.

[I]"That was interesting."[/I] The stone said.
[I]
"Does that happen often?"[/I] Kain dusted off his clothes.

[B]"No, it doesn't. But there is a first time for everything."[/B] Kain said as he made his way back to his apartment.[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=Purple]"Well I'm not just going to sit back." Alcina followed Karne to the truck and got in. [U][I]It starts.[/I][/U] [I]What starts?[/I] [U][I]Tonight, you're transformations will be revealed. Your powers realized.[/I][/U] Alcina listened to Lust, but what Lust was saying, didn't seem to soak in for Alcina. The stone was speaking in a riddle it seemed. [I]What are you going on about?[/I] [U][I]Alcina, you will have my [B]authintic[/B] power as night falls and you're with my group. You will have [B]my[/B] powers, [B]my[/B] way of thinking.[/I][/U] [I]If a guy's involved-rashly I assume.[/I] [U][I]Alcina, no, I am actually more level-headed when a man's involved. It's the women whom I act rashly against.[/I][/U]

[I]Thanks for the warning...so does everyone know this?[/I] [U][I]Uh, Greed knows perfectly well. You gain experience, you'll gain knowledge, if you gain enough knowledge, you achieve maturity. The creed of me...or Lust, if you will.[/I][/U] Alcina wondered what actually went on during the battles of the good versus evil wars with these stones. It seemed like more went on...than what was led to believe. [I]Things got out of hand a lot, I assume.[/I] [U][I]Yes, things did get out of hand. Violence, killings, you name it, we did it.[/I][/U][/COLOR]

the sun set and darkness arrvied Talon felt the power of the stone enhance as he jumped onto the roof of the truck silently he smirked as he thoght of what might happen when he saw lust [I] I assume my counter part Sound soon she must be near the LIght stones [/I] the stone said

meanwhile

Kalou followed Kain as she appeared next to him
"Hello" she said as Kain quickly grabbed Kalou and threw her she flipped over and with monkey like agilty kicked off the tre and next Kain "I just came to do my job keeping u and the lights slowed so the battle dosent happen quickly" Kalou smirked as she walked pace by pace
"and dont lie to me about anything my stone is sound anything you say to me will be the truth" she smirked

[Deadpool]

Karne speed through the streets when a guy on a motorcycle suddenly appeared in front of him. Karne didn't even hit the brakes but ran him over and kept going. "I got one point" He went around the corner and was soon in front of Diana's house. "Find out if she is there?" His voice sounded harsher and more authorative then it uausally did, but Kanre didn't care. He had to be the leader so he would fill it out to the extreme. Suddenly two cop cars appeared and pulled up next to Karne and Sena. "Sena take that car. I will dispose of these." He walked over as the cops came out and went on either side. "What are you up too at this time of night?" Karne punched one in the face as he spinkicked the other. He grabbed him in a headlock and snapped his neck, then shot the other with the cops gun.

[COLOR=DarkOliveGreen]Sandra stood in front of the mirror carefully drying her hair. ?Are you sure about returning to the town where Sasha got on the train?? She asked.

[I]Yes, I believe that the others have already found one another, as something feels different.[/I] The Pink stone said.

?I?m worried about Sasha, even though we both slept last night I can still feel how afraid and tense she is. I?m not sure it?s wise to take her back. Unless she grew up elsewhere those who bullied her will still be there.? Sandra said.
[I]
It?s all right. The Blue stone will support her. Unlike the children you dealt with that were beaten and abused she will not be alone. And the Blue stone is attuned to the fear in others just like I am attuned to other?s happiness. Sasha may not recognize it, but her understanding of fear will be quite useful in the upcoming battle.[/I] The Pink stone said.

Sandra turned at the sound of the bathroom door opening and after smiling at Sasha as she walked out, she moved to let her have the mirror as she was finished with it. She walked over to her bed and began to gather all her things. Sandra started to put her backpack on when the Pink stone stopped her.

[I]Put your things back on the bed.[/I]

?But??

[I]Just do it Sandra. I?m going to teach you something.[/I]

Sandra did as the Pink stone instructed.

[I]Now I want you to imagine yourself putting the backpack on and that you are holding your flute.[/I]

Puzzled Sandra did as she was told. To her surprise the backpack and flute case disappeared!

?What just happened?? She asked.

[I]I am holding them for you.[/I] The Pink stone said. [I] I can?t hold very much, but if you are in battle you will not have the time to take your flute out of its case. This way you only have to wish for it and it will appear in your hand. [/I]

?Well that?s rather convenient.? Sandra turned to see Sasha watching with a puzzled expression on her face. ?Is the Blue stone going to teach her as well?? She asked.

[I]When she is ready, or if the Blue stone feels it necessary she will be taught.[/I] The Pink stone said.

?Why wait??

[I]It?s not that simple. You have been using your ability long before we met. Sasha has yet to learn what hers are.[/I] The Pink stone replied.

?Are you ready Sasha?? she asked.

Sasha nodded.

Sandra smiled. ?Lets head for the train station then.?

?Okay.? Sasha whispered.

Sasha followed Sandra as she left the room, paid for the bill and then headed towards the train station. Even knowing that they were heading back towards the darkness and pain she appeared happy and confident. [I] How could she be like that?[/I]

[I]She?s afraid too.[/I] The Blue stone said.

[I]What?[/I] Sasha thought.

[I]It?s true. Sandra is afraid as she has never harmed anyone and is worried that the battle might require her to kill someone.[/I] The Blue stone said. [I]Remember, what I said last night, when the time comes I will help you. [/I]

Sasha followed Sandra onto the train and sat down just across from her. As the doors closed she wondered. Would they find those of the light? Or would those of the darkness be waiting for them when they arrived?
[I]
Since it is morning, it is more likely that we will encounter the stones of good.[/I] The Blue stone said. [I] Those of the stones of Darkness prefer the night.[/I]

Sasha didn?t reply and stared out the window as the train started moving.

[COLOR=Purple]Alcina ran up Diane's steps, and walked in through the door.

"Di! It's time to go!" She called up the stairs. Putting a hand on the banister, Alcina began to 'fly' up the stairs. She stopped short of the door and knocked.

"Diane. It's Al, you and I...well, you just need to follow me." Diane opened the door, her wrist gleaming with the gold stone of Greed.

"Because of the two guys below the window?" She asked not in the least phased.

"Yeah, because Karne and Sena are under FBI or CIA or Chicago Police Department watch, so...leaving soon would be good." Diane nodded, understanding, and both fled the house with speed they had just realized they had.

"Get in!" Karne shouted at them. No need to be told twice, Alcina and Diane jumped into the truck, just missing getting their fingers ripped off as they screeched down the road. Alcina caught the back of her head against the glass behind her. Thankfully, there wasn't any blood.[/COLOR]

[Horendithas]

[COLOR=Indigo]Sena went over and retrieved all his weapons and gadgets and after putting the Red stone back on he went outside and got in Karne?s truck. Alcina climbed in as well.

Sena smiled when Karne deliberately ran the guy on a motorcycle over without stopping. The Red stone laughed gleefully in his mind.

He watched as Karne continued to speed through the town, but unfortunately no one else got in the way. Sena saw a flash of movement. [I]Looks like we caught someone?s attention.[/I] He thought.

[I]Attention?[/I] The Red stone asked.

[I]Yes, the local police. Two of them are following us, in a moment they will be turning on their lights when they realize we are the ones who ran the motorcyclist over. [/I]

Sure enough they had barely stopped when the police pulled up along side them in front of Diana?s house.

?Sena take that car. I will dispose of these.? Karne said.

Sena got out of the car and smiled. When the cops in the second car realized that Karne was actually attacking the other officers they reached for their guns. Before they could even move more than an inch they both jerked back eyes wide with surprise.

One of them reached up to touch the handle of the knife that was embedded in his throat just beneath his chin. He could feel blood running down his chest and hands. With out a word both of them collapsed.

Sena walked over and retrieved his knives. He took a brief moment to clean the blood off before putting them back into their hiding spots. Mere police were no match for him. They hadn?t even realized that in the brief moment when they tried to reach for their guns he had already thrown both knives.

[I]Excellent. [/I] The Red Stone whispered in his mind. [I] Before long you will be ready to receive my legacy.[/I]

Sena just got back into the truck with the others when Karne shouted for them to go.[/COLOR]

[Deadpool]

"Your becoming blacker then a night sky with no stars and moon" His stone sounded pleased.

Karne paid no attention. "Does anyone know where to go next.?" He looked at Alcina. "Sorry about your head. Where do we go?"

[digiX]

Talon saw from the rooftop of the truck as they all sped away he used magnets to keep himself stationary he looked at the souls of the people in the truck he looked at Alcina and waited for the fight to start his indiffernce kicking in and the only thing kepping him, him is something deep inside that lasted long before the stone a crush on Alcina he would keep up everyone at bay the his weakness was Alcina he just hoped he could do his job

[Apherion]

[COLOR=Purple]"I don't know, my stone keeps talking about a beach...but it's just remembering it past...wait..." Alcina spoke softly. She remembered a park-as did her stone. Flowers all in bloom...but even though all the flowers would be close to death by now, it was the only place they could go without attracting more attention than needed.

"The park. Go to the park." It was enough to go on. Alcina's mind itched. There was something at the back of her mind nagging her about something. Like the nagging thing was begging for release. [U][I]Night falls quickly and quietly. I won't be able to keep you from transforming as soon as the sun falls below the horizen.[/I][/U] Alcina took note of that, and figured the itchy feeling was her stone's will, keeping the transformation at bay.

The park came into view closely followed by the almost set sun. Alcina got out almost immediately as the truck stopped. [I]A few more minutes to go now.[/I] [U][I]A few more minutes to go.[/I][/U] [/COLOR]

[digiX]

the sun ducked out and he felt a clenching at his chest he felt his hair grow and turn blonde and hi outfit turn grey he hopped silently to a tree and watched closely as the truck sped to a stop his's eyes gleamed like stars as he gazed at the dark stones he prayed that his weakness would stay at bay as he countied to watch
