RPG The Mixed Experiment II: The End of The World [M-VLS]

[Lionheart]

[FONT=Arial] Gale galloped his way towards the castle walls. The guards looked down and roared for the gate to open. He jumped down as he was greeted by his Commander, Brown.
"How was the meeting, my lord." Commander Brown asked as he bowed. Gale turned behind him at the castle walls. Even inside the walls, he could hear the people outside. They where in peace since the war and have loved it.
"Surround the city with most of are men. Then increase the lookout upon the walls. Commander Brown looked grim.
"War? Do you want me to cancel the ball?" Gale shook his head as he began to walk to the double doors of the castle.
"Who is our enemy?" Gale stopped and glanced back at the Commander. It be best not to mention about The elf lord, Orion.
"Just make sure my invitations get to my friends.? Commander Brown bowed as Gale went inside.
The maids surround the young king inside his bedroom. They where trying to agree on a suit for him to wear.
?You trying to get someone?s attention, my lord?? They laughed as Gale just grinned. After finding a blue suit, he quicky put it on and walked to the ball room. Already, people started to walk in. Commander Brown wore his uniform.
?Not even a bird flies over the area, my lord.? Gale though still had a bad feeling about what Lord Orion said to him.
?Any of my comrades showed up??
?None, right now. It is still young , my lord.? Gale looked around for his friends. This was a ball for them also. Four of them ending the war.
?Keep your guard up though, Commander Brown. I have a feeling.?
?Yes, my lord.?

OOC: Okay just come to the ball and greet Gale. After things settle, the RP starts!!![/FONT]

[COLOR=DarkGreen][SIZE=1]AChilles sat on his cot in his home deep in the forest, he was sharpening Dreadnaught doing what he always did. He heard a noise at his door and instantly threw Dreadnaught, it hit the wooden frame where the door opened. A soldier entered with a shocked look on his face. Achilles smiled, he recognized the soldiers uniform. A soldier of Fujin. Achilles stood up.
[B]
"Sorry about that. Living in the deep forest is a hazard. What can I do for you young one."[/B] The soldier pulled out a rolled up message and handed it to Achilles, Achilles took it and rolled it open reading it carfully.
[B]
"Hmmmm, Gale is having a ball. He is requesting I come."[/B] Achilles rolled it back up and thought for a moment.
[B]
"This will be interesting, I haven't been in civilization for queit sometimes. Go back soldier, have fun and try not to get killed on the way back."[/B] The soldier nodded and left quickly. Achilles walked to the door and pulled out his blade. He was about to close the door when he saw a quick, sudden movement. He stepped out of his home and looked around in the twilight. He readied Dreadnaught.
[B]
"Who's there? Come out and show yourself!"[/B] Achilles saw a figuer standing off to his side. He looked at the figuer in a forest cloak and silver hair hanging from inside the hood.
[B]
"Silver hair? Thats an odd trait. Show me your face."[/B] The figuer complied and pulled down his hood. Achilles eyes opened wide.
[B]
"An elf? You still exsist?"[/B] The elf smiled and charged lightning fast, Achilles reacted just as fast. He cut at the Elf's leg last moment and the elf went down, Achilles stretched out his muscles.
[B]
"Ahh, that wasn't smart of me."[/B] Achilles started to approach the fallen elf when he jumped back up and tackled Achilles to the ground. They wrestled around in the grass, both trying to get the upper hand. After about 15 minutes Achilles managed to get on top and held his arms down with his knees and legs. He held Dreadnaught in one hand and the gripped it with both. Spliting it apart into two different swords. He held them like scissors, he placed them on the sides of the elfs neck.
[B]
"Where did you come from? Who sent you?" [/B]The elf just smiled then spat in Achilles face, Achilles knew he wasn't getting any answer so he did what he knew he had to. He brought the two pieces together, severing the elfs head from his body completely. Achilles stood up from the body and walked back to his home, he reached in and pulled out rope and a pike he kept their. He walked back to the body and stabbed the pike into the ground. He tied the rope around the elfs feet and threw the rope over a tree trunk. He pulled the body up until it dangled from the rope, he tied it off and left it.
[B]
"Theirs food for the animals. Now the warning to the other ones."[/B] Achilles grabbed the pike and stabbed it about ten feet from his home. He took the elfs head and stuck it on the pike. This would serve as a warning to any other elf that desired to attack. After he did that he looked himself over and saw some blood left over on him, he groaned.
[B]
"God! I just washed these."[/B] He walked back to home and went through his drawers. He found a clean pair of the same clothes and quickly changed. He walked out of his home and found a horse waiting for him on the side. He hopped on and galloped out of the forest, Dreadnaught at his side and Achilles had news for the new King.

He arrived an hour later at the capital of Fujin where Gale was, he moved off of his horse and made his way to the ballroom. He entered and saw the peopel dancing and having a good time, people at the tables enjoying small plates of food. Achilles found Gale in all of the confusion of the dancing people. Hw alked pass them and to Gale and shook his hand like any other and smiled at him warmly. His smile faded away when he said he need to speak to Gale for a moment. Gale agreed.
[B]
"What is is Achilles?"[/B] Achiles looked around watching the people. Then looked back to Gale.
[B]
" I was attacked, by an elf."[/B] Gale looked at him.
[B]
"Are you ok my old friend?"[/B] Achilles nodded.
[B]
"Yes, I'm fine. But he is now a snack for the animals and a warning to the other elves. How long have they been active?"[/B] Gale shook his head.
[B]
"I don't know, but I think we should enjoy the party while we have time."[/B] Achilles smiled and shook his head lightly.
[B]
"Well, guess you know how to lighten the mood. Lets go."[/B] Achilles and Gale went back to the party. [/SIZE][/COLOR]

[Kuroshin13]

Chrysanthema stood outside her room, scowling openly at her mother. After hours of fussing, Herthe had finally convinced her daughter to wear a dress. [COLOR=DarkOrchid]"Mom, I still don't see why I couldn't where something a little more?comfortable." [/COLOR] She hated playing dress up, and reluctantly moved back toward the older woman and looked herself over in the nearby mirror with distaste. The golden orange gown was charming she was forced to admit, but not a favorable wear nonetheless. The demon fidgeted around a bit and her mother just laughed.

[COLOR=DarkOrchid]"Chrysanthema, how many times must I say it? A ball is a formal gathering, and you must dress accordingly. Stop squirming, you look fine,"[/COLOR] she placed a clip in Chrys' hair, which immediately found it's way on the dresser. [COLOR=DarkOrchid]"Alright, I'll wear the dress, but leave my hair alone?"[/COLOR]

Herthe laughed. [COLOR=DarkOrchid]"Deal. Say hello to your friends for me. If you wait any longer, you'll be late."[/COLOR]Chrys nodded, rushing off to get out of her mother's sight before she thought of something else in the way of torture.

*****
Finally arriving, she paused outside the ballroom doors to take a deep breath. The night was quiet despite the party in progress. The fire demon had a bad feeling but refused to show it. It was supposed to be a happy occasion, right? Gathering her composure Chrys walked into the room, and immediately looked around for those she knew. She immediately spotted Gale with Achilles.

Walking up them she tapped Gale on the shoulder to gain their attention. [COLOR=DarkOrchid]"Greetings young King," [/COLOR] she grinned jokingly as he turned around. [COLOR=DarkOrchid]"Nice to see you again Gale. You too Achilles."[/COLOR]

[Starwind]

Emilio was resting in the deep and cool waters of the northern streams when he heard and tremmbling above, near the waters edge. He rose from the water and almost immediatly recognized the armor and insignia of the soilder standing on the waters edge, he was a Fujin warrior. Emilio approached, he knew if it was one of Gales soilders he had nothing to fear of this man "So, what brings you so far from home lone warrior."

The warrior rose to attention at his sight "Prince Batou of the morthern demon clan, Lord Gale has requested you attend a ball to be at the castle of Fujin."

Emilio nodded to the soilder "Yes, I'll be there. I haven't seen all of them in about a year."

The soilder bowed to him and returned to the castle. Emilio stayed there in thought a bit longer. It had been quite some time since he had seen them and even longer since they were all together, he knew if Gale went out of his way to invited him no way he'd forget to bring the others to.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The following night, Emilio was running a little late. He expected all the others were already there. He approached the gate and waved to the guard, the gates then creaked and whiined loudly as they slowly opend. Emilio walked in and went straight for the castle.

Once he walked in he was almost floored by a sight he never even imagined, Chrysanthema in a dress. He held a hand to his mouth to keep from laughing as he approached the group. He tapped Chrys lightly on her shoulder "Never imagined I'd be seeing you in a dress, Chrys. Hey, Achilles and Gale..... Well, I suppose it'a lord Gale now."

[Raze_3103]

Bolt walked through the forrest, and smiled. He looked up at the sky and sighed. The familiar feel of three auras, they seemed to be so close. He felt as if he knows them. "Its decided then, I shall figure out who these auras belong to." He smiled as he made his way to a large castle. There was music and lighes all around it.

"Ahh, a ball. And, this castle, why it belongs to that human." He nodded and made his way to the gates. Two guards walked up to him and shook their heads.

"Sorry, sir. But this is a private ball. We cannot let you pass unless you have an invitation. Do you have one?"Bolt shook his head and then smiled.

"No, I do not have one, but I must say hello to one of my companions. Gale, and it appears that three other demons are here that I know. I cannot remember who thay are, but they are familiar." Bolt began to take a step but was stopped by the guards.

"Sorry, no invitation, no entrance. And, why did you say that His Lordship was a companion?" The soldier looked into Bolts eyes then took a step back. "You-your eyes have a glazed look about them. Who are you?"

"My name is Amer. I am also known as Bolt. Three years ago, I faught along side two demons, and two humans. Me and my brother, Sarin, both faught the dark army alongside Gale." Bolt nodded at the two soldiers and walked past them. They just stared in amazement.

"And, I am sorry if I took anyone close to you while in my blood lust. MY demon forms are not nice to anyone." Amer made a small bow, and smiled. It seemed that the two soldiers knew him and Sarin.

A few moments later, bolt walked into the ballroom. He cursed under his breath at the sight off all the people dressed up. He began walking through the crowd, then he heard a familiar voice.

"Oh my god. How did you get in here. Amer, how have you been? Where is Sarin? Is he with you?" Bolt turned around and looked at the fire demon.

"Ahh, thats the aura I felt. I only came here because I felt the auras of three familiar demons. Must have been you and, and the sword, and the kappa. Of course." Bolt laughed to him self then walked up to Chrys.

"Sorry about that. TO answer your questions, I have been fine. And, no. Sarin is not with me. After the final fight with me and him. The one that no one saw. Me and Sarin spit. We had to. Because of our presence. It is not allowed for us to be around one another after one of us has just killed another Harmonizer." He looked at the ground then sighed. "i am affraid that I am in no position to be here. I am not dressed for the ball."

"You should count yourself lucky. I wish I could dress like that. Come, you have to say hi to Gale, Emilio, and Achilles" She grabbed his arm and drug him over to the three.

"If I must. I guess a short hello would not hurt." He smiled a little bit and sighed. "Now what have I done.?"

[Disenchanted]

Grace wisped around the edge of the kingdom, there was rumor about that the elves had returned and were headed for the King Gale?s kingdom. This was something she would have to look upon with her own eyes. Moving swiftly she came to what she was looking for and wished she had not found it. Elves thousands of them armed to the very teeth. They were marching in perfect formation. At their rate of movement she estimated their arrival at around a week. One week and surly there would be nothing left of the famous King Gale.

With her power over wind she could reach the main castle inside of 15 minutes. She knew well of the king and his famous few that saved the land 3 years ago, there were little who weren?t well versed in the story. She, however held own motives for informing the king of this ?small? development. Grace took note of the Elfish weaponry and numbers. With this information she summoned a gust of wind and road it, unnoticed at a high altitude into the center of town and dropped down onto a roof top.

Underground word has it that there was a ball being held this very day at the king?s castle, whispers carry easily on the wind. She took a deep breath and assessed her surroundings by the feel of the breeze. This town had changed a considerable amount since she last breathed its air. It was cleaner, happier the people were at peace. [COLOR=Teal]?Not for much longer? [/COLOR] she quietly spoke to herself. Grace looked down at her attire, [COLOR=Teal]?It is a ball I am an uninvited guest but the King shall have to deal with that?[/COLOR]. With a gust of wind she used her magic to dress her self in ?appropriate? attire, a dress consisting of a simple corset design aqua in color. Grace used the roof tops as cover to reach Gale?s ball she waited patiently for all of Gale?s comrades to enter before she did it was imperative that they all be present. As expected the water daemon and the shape shifter entered after the human and the fiery one. [COLOR=Teal]?Good now I shall make my entrance.? [/COLOR]
Grace entered the ball by way of tricking the guards with her magic. She entered the hall and, recognizing the king immediately, walked up to him and bowed slightly. Grace spoke firmly and formally. [COLOR=Teal]?Dearest King Gale. If I may size your attention I wish to speak to you privately, however your kings-men may follow. They would most likely wish to hear of the information I bring you as much as you do. I wish to inform you of a development regarding your summit earlier with the lords of the other lands?[/COLOR] she raised an eye brown. Bowing slightly she readied herself if any of his loyal friends decided she was an assassin and tried to attack. She lowered her voice so only the king and his followers could hear among the commotion of the party, grace spoke in the most serious of tones. [COLOR=Teal]?I bring news of the silver haired ones who, but till recently, lurked in shadow, not seen for 3000 years?. [/COLOR] She hoped the king would get the point. [COLOR=Teal]?One of you, I believe, has already had an encounter?[/COLOR] Grace nodded towards Achilles. [COLOR=Teal]?After I have spoken my peace I suggest you all get back to the party for it will not be long till the happiness is broken?[/COLOR]. She fell silent and waited for the King and his friends responses.

[Lionheart]

[FONT=Arial] Gale looked around them as Commander Brown came around.
"Watch over my guests." He montion on everyone around him as they slipped through a door near the his own room. The door lead to Gale's studies , where he could come and work alone. He lcoked the door as all 5 where in. He walked to the giant window behind the desk as everyone gathered.
"It seems the elfs are making there moves over the land. Though they arn't suppose to come to human grounds." Gale stared out over his land through the window.
"That must have been a scout I killed." whispered Achilles as everyone turned to him. A bang at the door as Comamnder Brown charged in. He had broken down the door with his great strength.
"LORD Gale, They're coming!!" The group looked at each other as they followed Commander Brown to the front gate and on the castle walls. From there they saw the fireballs hurling upon the city.
"It seems the elfs have mages." Gale though knew better, his father told him mainly the elfs used archmages in the 3,000 year war to win.
"Commander Brown, get my sword." He nodded as he ran towards the castle.
"As my guest, I don't see why you need to fight." He turned to them to see them glare him down.
"But you can fight too." Commander Brown threw him his father's crimson sword as they ran down the walls. Gale could hear his people's cries of pain.
"Alright spread through the city and safe as many people as you can. Do not!!! Face a Archmage alone, their power exceeds over a 1,000 men." They all nodded as a fireball smashed through the castle walls as elfs begant to pour into the kingdom.
"For Fujin!!!!"[/FONT]

[Starwind]

He wasn't here for Fujin, but he couldn't leave his friend hanging like that. He ran down to the gate as it opend up ran out front. The fire hitting the side of the building was intense, he could feel the heat burning the hair on his neck. He looked to Chrys "Fire girl, this is your feild her. I'll try to put out the fires."

Emilio waved to the rest quickly and ran head long into the flames. His water kept him from burns, but even he couldn't keep it up forever. He could hear the cries of a woman coming from inside. He set his hand in the trenches in the road and pulled what little water he could, he coated himself and ran inside the burning building. He came out with a woman in his arms, she was burned, but still alive. He set her on the road and called for a soilder to take her within the castle walls. He looked back to the burning houses along the roadside "This is sick. I'm not sure if we can take care of this on our own."

He looked back to the castle "I hope you have one hell of a plan Gale."

He ran back off into the flame and smoke. He could hear the chanting of someone in the distance, it was one of the arch mages, he could tell. This was bad, he didn't stand a chance alone, but he couldn't leave this guy to go about his business. Decision time. Emilio choked for a moment "I hate this crap."

[Disenchanted]

Grace append at Emilio?s side. "You don't know me and i don't know you ...watery one. but I offer you my assistance none the less. Perhaps my winds would be of use to you?" she stared Emilio in the eyes.

"You don?t trust me? With good reason I suppose. I was here to tell your king of what i saw on the kingdoms out skirts but it would seam that I underestimated the elf?s speed on foot, unless they used magic". He seamed a little on edge.

"You seam uneasy around me why is that?" her eyes met with his. She cleared the smoke and drew the oxygen away from the houses that were on fire suffocating the flames a gentile breeze blew as the air returned. She raised an eyebrow towards him questioningly.

[Deadpool]

Sarin saw a huge explosion in the distance. "Damn I was too late" He appeared inside the city gate next to someone chanting. Sarin guessed from the look he was given that he was not a nice guy. Sarin cut him in half when Emillio ran in and stood surprised.

"Sarin?"

"Nice to see you again. Combine your water with my darkness and this fire will be out in no time" He created a large blanket over the fire as Emillio drew water and shot it at the dark web. The water was absorbed then channeled through the web liek a sprinkler and soon the fire was out. 'So how has the old gang been holding up"

[Starwind]

Meeting new friends and old alike, this was just one hell of a day this had turned into. The only down sid ewas now the arch mage knew they were there, but with these two with him they might stand a pretty steady chance of winning. The wind whistled and the air grew warmer, Emilio motioned to the other two "Scatter!"

The three jumped, dove and flew free of the inferno blast that had been directed toward them. Emilio looked too Sarin "Guess we got to fight him now."

Sarin smirked "We can handle this wuss."

Emilio smirked, then turned his attention to the new girl. She was a master of the wind, just like Kami was. This was a little akward, it felt like a reunion with the dead girl. He shook this feeling off and he felt the air warm up again, and he then rolled clear of the blast. He motioned to the others "Sarin, flank the right side. New girl, take the rear."

Emilio positioned himself in the front. The elfen mage drew his fire again and Emilio drew his water. He knew that straight one he couldn't beat him, but he might distract him long enough to give the others a chance to land a blow. The fire came at him, and all Emilio could see was the white, searing heat coming straight at him. He set the water before him like a barrier, as the fire made contact the water quickly began to burst into steam.

As the mist settled, Emilio was still standing and still un harmed, but that couldn't be asured for a second attack.

[Lionheart]

[FONT=Arial] Gale cut through a elf charging at him. This was just like 3 years ago. Getting over-runned by the enemy. It seemed all the soldiers of Fujin where taking the people out of the kingdom. Commander Brown was nowhere in sight. Out from the fire came a archmage.
"Dammit, I can't take one on alone."
"Ah, the King of Fujin. Lord Orion said to leave you alive, but I feel like ending this right now!" He chanted afew words as lightning was fired towards him. Gale was hit by the whole thign as he cried in pain. The archmage walked towrads him, ready to finish what he started.
"This day will be remember of the death of king Gale." He stopped though half way in his chanting and looked up. Out from the dark night sky came some kind of blue hole. The clouds circled around it as it got bigger.
"Shit, he's using it already." the archmage though smiled as he looked back down at Gale.
"Enjoy your new world." He chanted acouple of words as he teleported away. Gale got up uneasily as he could feel himself rise. Soon his feet where off the ground.
"What the hell?!!" He looked back up at the blue hole. It was sucking him into it. Though not just him, the others around him as well. That was the last thing he saw.

Gale slowly opened his eyes at the bright light coming from the trees. Startled, he stood right up to be surrounded by trees. It seemed that the hole had taken him to a new world.
"Chrys?!!" He yelled as he looked around for his companions. "Achilles?!! Emilio?!!" No answer. He scooped up his sword from the ground and put it away as he searched on.

OOC: We have landed to a new world. I want everyone together when they awake. Gale is going to get his ass-kicked by a unknown enemy when you guys jump in. [/FONT]

[Kuroshin13]

Chrysanthema was in the middle of a fight with one of the Archmages before being sucked up by the weird black hole. So of course when she awoke to find herself somewhere else entirely, the fire demon was more than a little startled. [COLOR=DarkOrchid]"Did I miss something important?"[/COLOR] she muttered to herself sitting up and rubbing her head.

Looking around at the new surroundings, she didn't recognize any of it. Trees...trees...and nothing but more trees. She glanced around, and stood up. Walking around the immediate area, she still couldn't figure out an approximate location. And the stupid dress was only adding to her frustration. Chrys mentally counted everyone that was there. There was a new person?and no Gale.[I] 'Hm?might as well start getting everyone up and moving,' [/I] she thought making her way over toward Achilles. [COLOR=DarkOrchid]"Hey Achilles. I don't think we're in Fujin anymore?"[/COLOR] she shook him gently.

[Starwind]

It all happend so quickly, it still hadn't registerd completely in his mind. Emilio was somewhere he didn't recognize and flet light headed and dizzy, like he had been sent through a whirl pool. He sat up and saw most everyone else, the only exception being Gale, he was nowhere to be seen. Emilio got to his feet and approached the new girl who still seemd a bit disoriented. He put his hand to her "Feeling alright."

She looked to him for a moment the took his hand "I'm fine."

Emilio pulled her to her feet and went to Chrys and Achllies standing not twenty feet away. He walked to them "What the hell just happend here?"

Chrys turned "Your guess is as good as anyone elses. We all seem to have just awakend here."

Emilio looked around "And what of Gale?"

"We're not sure. We can't find him."

"Is there a possiblity that he didn't get pulled into the void?"

Achilles shook his head "Maybe, but unlikely. If were all here I don't see why he wouldn't be."

Emilio nodded "Right. So what do we do now? Do you think we should pair off and start looking for him."

Chrys shook her head "I don't know how good an idea it is to seperate in a place none of us are familiar with."

Achilles nodded in agreement "She's right. It might not be as effective, but we should probably stay together, til we get our bearings."

The three nodded to each other. Emilio looked back to the new girl who seemed to be standing off a bit, til Emilio waved her over. He brought her over and looked to Chrys "You two can both fly, why don't the two of perform a survey of the area from above."

Chrys nodded and her and the other girl went to the sky. Achilles walked to Emilio "Do you think we can trust this girl?"

Emilio turned to him "She hasn't given reason not to."

"Are you okay with this, having another girl like that here?"

"How do you mean?"

"Kami, is this going to cause problems?"

"No, why would it?"

"Alright. Just make sure it stays that way."

Emilio nodded to him and the conversation ended.

[Lionheart]

[FONT=Arial] Gale kept his search on for what seemed hours. This was just plain stupid, nothing but trees. Another thing, there was only afew sounds. Other then that, it was very quiet.
"Hate this place already." Gale stopped as he heard footsteps. They where quiet, but in a place like this, you can hear anything. He whimped his sword around as nothing was there to face him. He was sure he heard something.
"You must be the young king that Lord Orion had told me about." The sentence whispered in his mind as he tossed and turned around to find the source.
"Show yourself!!" He paused in front of him to see a man in some-kind of indian wear. His face was painted in the color of blood. Instantly, a red spear formed in his hands as he was ready for combat. He attacked with full force as Gale didn't have time to block. One swift kick to the gut sent Gale into a tree nearby. The tree snapped in half as Gale grabbed his back in pain.
"Thought this would be more of a challenge, since you where one of the warriors the kill Dredick." How did he know Dredick? Gale got back up to get hit back a combo of spear attacks by his foe. It seemed when Gale blocked the first move, he would get hit right after that easily.
"I'm tired of playing around with you." Rocks began to swirl around Gale as he tried to get up.
"[I]Rock Crash!"[/I] Gale shielded himself of all the rocks hurling at him. Again, he was sent through some more trees as his body was hurting badly. This guy was toying with him. Gale could hear The man's footsteps coming close. He bounced back up as his sword glowed.
"My turn! [I]Sky-Dragon Explosion[/I]!!' He flew over at the man, slashing and dicing at the man as explosions covered him up whole. Yet out of the smoke his hand grabbed Gale's throat. His attack didn't even leave a mark. Gale was in trouble big time, this guy was too stronge.[/FONT]

[Darth Vectis]

[COLOR=DarkGreen][SIZE=1]Achilles could only survey the area infront of his eyes. He could only see trees and this is where he felt more at home, the thoughts of the battle cameback to him. He had already killed at least a dozen elven soldiers that foolishly charged him, thinking he was just human.

He had done his best to save as many people as he could, but an Archmage had attacked him in the process. He had tried to kill him, regardless of Gale's warning. He had no succession other then cutting him along the shoulder or so. At that time the hole had sucked them all into the sky. He had been the first to wake up and marked the land.
[B]
"It's too bloody quiet."[/B] Emilio turned to look at him.
[B]
"Excuse me?"[/B] Achilles kept looking through the forest but spoke to Emilio.
[B]
"The forest is too quiet, there are no signs of life of any mannor. I don't like it. It makes me uncomfortable."[/B]
[B]
"Well how do you think I feel? I am far away from any water source and were all in an unsual place."[/B] Achilles smiled lighty and spoke to him again without looking.
[B]
"When your a soldier you learn to adjust to all surroundings, plus living in the deep forest for three years does tend to help."[/B] Emilio sighed, Achilles looked to Amer and Sarin talking amongst themselves. He whisteled to them to get their attention, they turned their head to look at him.
[B]
"Sarin, Amer. I know we said spliting up to search is a bad idea but I'de like you two to go about a hundred meters or so into the forest and see if it ends, if it doesn't in that much area then come back here and we'll move further out when Chrys and the new girl come down. Sounds good?"[/B] They looked at eachother for a moment and nodded.
[B]
"We'll be right back."[/B] They took off into the forest quickly. Achilles smiled and watched the forests. A few minutes later Amer and Sarin returned. Achilles approched them.
[B]
"Does it end?"[/B] They both shook their heads.
[B]
"It just keeps going."[/B] Achilles turned away and looked around again.
[B]
"Dammit, we could be here awhile."[/B] At that moment Chrys and the new girl appeared and Chrys looked scared but excited.
[B]
"What did you see?"[/B] Achilles asked with urgency in his voice.
[B]
"We saw a struggle from the air. Trees were falling down and we saw explosions."[/B]
[B]
"Which way?"[/B] She pointed north, Achilles smiled.
[B]
"We might have found Gale."[/B] His smile faded and he bolted into the forest, the others following behind him.[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[Starwind]

The group headed toward the now bellowing smoke rising from the forest. Emilio felt pretty comfortable, he knew Gale could handle himself. This however shifted when he saw the batterd and beaten Gale and the strange opponent, who seemed unharmed. This could not be a good sign, Gale was no weakling, but this guy seemed like he was just toying with him. He hadn't even broken a sweat. Emilio didn't feel to good about any of this. He didn't have much water left in the jug and there was no open source, he was gonna have to make this quick. Emilio waved Achilles over "This guy is a serious customer. Fight fast and hard. We'll do what we did to kill my old man."

He looked back to Chrys and the new girl "You two give support." Then turning to Amer and Sarin "You two go around the back and we'll surround him."

Everyone nodded and they spread out. The man stood frozen, but didn't seem even the slightest bit worried. Was he insane, or just too stupid to realize the trouble he was in? Or there was the more worring thoght, he was so calm because he knew the didn't stand a chance. Either way, the decision was made and there was no turning back. Emilio drew his sword from the jug and the five of Achilles, Amer, Sarin, Gale and himself, charged the single target at once.

Emilio and Achiilles swung and him and were both caught by his spear. This was a disturbing sight that he could stop both them at once, with one hand no less. But then his back was exposed to Amer and Sarin, who then charged up an attack and fired. As the blast approached he seemed to disappear from sight, leaving Emilio and Achilles in the path of the two blasts. The two quickly jumped clear as they were nearly mowed over.

Achilles got up and looked around frantically "Where did he go?"

That was a good question, one quickly answerd by the thudding blow from behind, as he quickly struck Emilio then Achilles with speed that mad ethem seem as if he had hit both at once. That was impossible, how could anyone be that fast.

[FONT=Arial] Gale saw the moment to hit the mn with everything he had. He jumped into the air as he raised his sword high. The man though didn't see Gale coming.
[I] "Mad Dance!"[/I] He roared as he knocked a giant explosion upon the man. The shockwave of the blast knocked Gale away as he landed on his knees. Gale smiled as he knew he got him good. But the smile faded to see him unharm.
"W-what?!! No effect!" The man speed rushed at Gale, spearing him right in the gut. The hit blew Gale away as he smashed into another tree. Amer and Sarin double teamed the man as Gale slowly got up. This guy couldn't be human, yet he didn't look demon at all. From afar, he could see Emilio and Achilles get up. They didn't stand a chance against this unknown foe. A loud sound filled the area as the man looked up, he pushed the demons off like it was nothing and speed into the trees. A large machine was flying over them. lights shined over them as people dropped from the machine. They carried weapons that were similiar from the war. The pointed the guns at Gale and the rest as the machine landed near them. A old man with a wooden cane walked from the mahcine towards the group. he was short and looked like in his 60s.
"Are you alright? Any die?" He stared at Gale who was too weak to answer. Emilio took charge and answered with a no.
"We never thought someone would come into these parts with the 'four warriors' controlling these parts." Gale was about to answer when Emilio again took charge.
"We just got curious, and we found...him."
"Yes, Leo is very strong, luckily youy only ran into him. The rest would have killed you in a heartbeat. If oyu want, we can give ya a lift back to Greeken City if you want." Again, Gale was to answer, but Emilio step forward.
"Yes, our ship broke down." The group all looked at each other and climbed into the machine as the lift off into the air.After a few minutes, Gale gasped at the sight of buildings higher then they are right now. The Greeken city was massive. Flying machines took flight as they zipped pass their's. They weren't in Fujin, not even in their world.[/FONT]

[COLOR=DarkGreen][SIZE=1]Achilles had his arms crossed and looked out the windows of the airship. He saw the massive city with the towering buildings and the multiple airships passing by them. Achilles felt kind of sick by the sight of such a great city, he never liked citys much. At that moment the old man walked up beside him, Achilles took no notice of him.
[B]
"Amazing isn't it?"[/B] The old man stated with pride, Achilles looked at him for a moment then back out the window.
[B]
"Sure is."[/B] He said with a hint of sickness. Achilles looked out the corners of his eyes to the forest. He spoke to the old man.
[B]
"Has anyone ever wanted to join the people in the forest?"[/B] The old man looked at him appaled.
[B]
"Never, they are to brutal for my people."[/B] Achilles continued to look at the forest, secretly hoping to meet those people and learn their techniques. But he kept that to himself. The old man looked him over, looking at his armor and clothes.
[B]
"That is some odd clothing stranger. Why do you wear it?"[/B] Achilles looked at him and made up a reason.
[B]
"It provides comfort and mobility, contrary to the way it looks. You dress oddly yourself by my customs."[/B] The old man smiled and looked himself over.
[B]
"This is daily clothing young one."[/B] Achilles thought about this, this would be a difficult world to get use to.[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[Raze_3103]

Amer wispered to Sarin, "Is it just me, or are we at a dissagreement right now?" He watched his brother nod, then turn to him.

"Yes, I think we are. After the fight with our grandfather, I think it hit us both, that well, we are the only ones left. Just you and me." Sarin crossed his hands over his chest.

"The only ones left? Thats a little sad, is it not?" The new girl chimmed in, over their shoulders.

"i would not do that if I were you." Chrys added, a smile across her face.

"I have told Chrys this, but yes, our race was wipped out, and me and my brother are the only ones left. It is up to us to decide the fate of the harmonizers." Amer said, looking out the window.

"I am suprised Amer. Normally, you would have bitten her head off by now if she had done that three years ago, just like you nearly did me, well would have if Sarin wasn't there." Chrys said, looking at him with a confused look.

"I do not conflict with his decision, and he does not with mine. I respect him, and he does me. I will not kill, if he asks me not to." Amer smiled gently and stood up. "This place, I have a feeling that it will not be very gentle to harmonizers. Sarin, we should be ready."

"Yes, I have the same feeling. This new world, it is very, how should I put it. Restrictive, or so it seems." Sarin closed his eyes as the elderly man spoke up.

"We are about to land. I would sit down if I were you strangers."

"We shall finish our conversation later, but for now, we need to stay together." Sarin said, pulling Amer to his seat.

[Kuroshin13]

[COLOR=DarkOrchid]"I don't think it'll be very friendly to demons in similar aspect either,"[/COLOR] she hissed to Amer and Sarin, already uncomfortable. Unlike the others, she stook out as a dead giv- a-way to her heritage.

Chrys explored the aircraft ignoring the landing warning, curiosity abounding. Staring out another of the windows, she gasped slightly at the sight of the city. It was all too weird. Moving off again she explored the interior of the airship, it all looked so?complicated. Passing by she over heard the old man's comment about the dwellers of the forest and frowned. She didn't like the sound of it although knowing nothing about either peoples.

Walking over to Gale she stopped her restless moving around to laugh at his expression. [COLOR=DarkOrchid]"Yea, it is a pretty new sight to see, but?"[/COLOR]

Gale turned to look at her after her voice trailed off worriedly. [COLOR=DarkOrchid]"What is it?"

"I think we've ended up in the middle of a growing conflict between two very different civilizations. Sound familiar?" [/COLOR] she asked. His lordship nodded thoughtfully. Chrys placed a hand on his shoulder reassuringly. [COLOR=DarkOrchid]"Maybe we'll get lucky and I'm wrong."[/COLOR]

[Disenchanted]

Grace watched the one they called Chrys put her hand to gales shoulder and speak to him. she only wished she was so lucky in friends, but her past had handled such matters. the new city was amazing to her. Although she felt uneasy crowds were not exactly her strong suite. She wanted to land to get a fell of the air in her new surroundings.

She stood and gained the attention of those gatherd in the ship. "ahh well due to the lull in battle and the apparent fact that we will be stuck with each other for a ..While, I find the need to introduce my self properly. *she bowed* my name is Grace, wind daemon of the south planes?. She straightened her self and looked amongst the others. A no doubt strange group of friends to one another they were but at least they had familiarity with one another. She sat back down and looked out the window of the ship and deeply sighed to herself.

[Darth Vectis]

[COLOR=DarkGreen][SIZE=1]Achilles heard Graces anouncment and watched her for a moment. He could tell she felt a little bit alone in the group, he left his standing spot at the window and seated himself next to Grace.
[B]
"Interesting introduction."[/B] Grace turned her heard to look at him. He held out his hand.
[B]
"I'm Achilles, only inhabitant of the deep forest. Save for the elves that now have it. I served in the war three years ago. I've known Gale and Chrys most of my life, Emilio, Sarin, and Amer I know due to the war. They are very dependable in your time of need."[/B] Grace smiled shyly but took his hand and shook it gently. She turned back to the window. Achilles sat down quietly thinking of something to say. He had it. He spoke to her quietly.
[B]
"If some of us are a little hesitant about talking to you it's not because of you but because of a demon we encountered three years ago. She was a master of wind as well, we have been pretty shaken up about that."[/B] She nodded her head, realization showed in her eyes through the reflection of the window. Achilles then drew Dreadnaught and held the hilt out to her.
[B]
"This is Dreadnaught. I only introduce my sword to you because he demanded it."[/B] Grace looked at him questionable.
[B]
"Demanded it?"[/B] Achilles chuckled lightly.
[B]
"Yes, he did. He's alive in sorts, I had to merge souls with him to be able to weild him properly." [/B]Grace reached for the handle and Achilles watched her grab it, she quickly let go and looked like she was weak.
[B]
"What was that?"[/B] She asked
[B]
"Dreadnaught takes life from demons, he doesn't like that. I only let you touch him for on reason. That is to remember what it felt like. And I have one more warning for you."[/B] She looked at him with her full attention.
[B]
"If you get close to Emilio, Sarin, Amer, Gale, Chrys or anyone I know and betray them, Dreadnaught will be the last thing you see before I take your head off and I cut out your heart. I don't trust your race of demon for more then just Kami's ruthlessness. You will have to prove yourself before anyone is relaxed around you. So be careful about what you do and say."[/B] Achilles sheathed Dreadnaught and Walked back to his window hoping his message got across.[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[Disenchanted]

Grace registered the seriousness of Achilles message all to well, he reminded her of her father. He once spoke a similar threat with her. he watched as he retunred to his seat. Anger welled inside her she was quick to bottle it back down. She had no quarrel with these people and the fact that hey had a sour encounter with one of her kind gave Grace a reason to distance herself even further. At least now in this new world she would not be hunted as she was in the last. There were more battles to come and if she didn?t want to be met with the hostility that Achilles kindly greeted her with she would have to prove her self and fast. The prospect was depressing to say the least.

She was used to being an outsider but an outsider amongst a strong grope of friends that have fought together was a new situation she really didn?t want to find her self in. She inwardly tried to fight her feelings but that just served as a path to the all too familiar feeling of depression. If the water daemon was the one to have the strongest encounter with the wind one they talked about then perhaps it would be best to steer clear of him altogether. Him and Achilles.

A voice came over the cabin of the ship. [B]?We are docking now prepare for landing? [/B]

[Lionheart]

[FONT=Arial] Gale was the first to walk out as the old man waited at a large door from afar. the veiw was amazing as the sun seemed to be setting. He walked ot the old man as everyone follow suit.
"You out of all people must be tired, young...Gale, did you say it was?" Gale nodded as he looked down at his cuts.
"Allow me to grant you a stay at this hotel for a day or so. It's the least I can do for trying to fight Leo and get him off our backs." Gale was confused, Leo was a threat to them? Then again, that indian man seemed to be the 'not friendly' type.
"Ummm, sure. I guess It wouldn't hurt." The old man smiled as they entered the tall building.
They stared in awe as they where brought to a large bright room. Bigger then the throne room at the castle. The old man went up to the desk and signed in Gale's party. He then returned and gave Gale 2 cards.
"I see that only you have 6 people and all they had was 2, so I made it were you can split it up." The old man's soldiers gather around as he bowed ot Gale.
"Enjoy your stay." They went back to the hanger, leaving Gale and company, confused.
He looked at the card and stared up at the ceiling. It seemed to go on forever.
"I guess, I'll check out the rooms." [/FONT]
