A famous mythology is the one about the grand world called Pangaia. Many races inhabitant the world of Pangaia and tension between each race of Pangaia escalated rapidly. Discrimination and racism continued endlessly in every nation, for every race and religion. Soon, this tension led to the world war known as the Genocides. Nations, races, religions and countries continued to attack each other, leaving many large kingdoms in ruins and completely obliterating the small nations. During the Genocides, Yggdrasil - the tree where Mana "Goddess of Life" sleeps - was accidentally discovered by Pangaia. In spite of this, the Genocides continued, endangering Yggdrasil greatly. A young boy with legendary power named Castigard makes an attempt to end the Genocides by fusing himself with Yggdrasil. As an unexpected result, a catastrophic calamity destorys the world of Pangaia.. All that remains - the ruins of Pangaia divided into three seperate planets. Pangaia divided into three segments. Fantasia, Abyss and Symphonia - the three remaining worlds that exist today.

Anyway, whenever one of them falls asleep/is knocked out three times, the other one appears and then the cycle repeats... Quite annoying for the village and everyone. So, whenever a person needs to see Clay, and Kas is there, they'll probably have to wait three days. When they switch, everything changes about them. Except for the two sheathes on their sides. Clay is right-handed and Kas is left, that's why... There sword-style is exactly the same. Kas is a little more powerful then Clay, but Clay is alot faster then Kas. Clay is the braver one of the two. He's more controlled and cool-headed, more hero-like, but thinks being a hero is annoying. He just wants to be un-stuck with Kas, so he can retire from his work and hang-up his "Hero" title and chill down. Kas acts like a kid (Or, basically, the same way he's always been). He thinks he's a hero and is always acting like he's the leader. He thinks it's some type of game. Before, they were deep and greatly connected, always knowing what the other is thinking and planning. But now... Who knows when they'll be split up again?

A young boy wielding a mystical sword has just stabbed a tall man in dark robes.. Man-Ngh..! Ugh..!! T-The.. The Eternal Sword..!

Cho's house.

Ngh.. agh.. *slowly gets up and sits down on his bed, rubbing his head* Aah.. *stretches out wide and yawns* Aaugh! Ah num num.. *smacks his mouth, then stands up as he rubs his eyes* Ah.. What the? *tilts his head slightly, looking at a clock* What time is it? ... *stands up, undressing - taking off his pajamas in order to change* The voice continues to whisper.. Cho-? ... *looks around* What the? Is someone calling me? ... Guess it was just my imagination.

Outside..
Cho-*walks out from his house, dressed in plain red clothing* Let's see.. What was I going to-- Wuah! *suddenly stops himself from walking over the edge and fall* Ah! ... I forgot I moved to this little treehouse. ^_^'' *looks around* Uhm.. *walks toward a ladder, then climbs down* Let's see.. What am I going to do for today? I guess I could practice out my swordplay, but it's boring just whacking wooden targets.. A voice whispers to Cho.. Cho-... Maybe I could go help out with the ranch. A voice whispers to Cho.. Cho-Or.. Maybe I should-- A voice whispers to Cho.. Cho-... *gets to the ground and looks around* Alright! Who's there?! Silence surrounds Cho.. Cho-... *looks around* W-what the hell? Why am I keep hearing things? Am I going senile because of my boredom? ... *sighs* Drat.. I need to get myself occupied with something! I guess I'll go check out around town, see if there's any interesting news. *quickly runs off*

On the streets of Mystic Village..
Cho-*continues running, looking around then eventually starts walking* ... *tilts his head down, thinking to himself* Ah.. Not much has happened since that box incident. There hasn't been much going on lately here either. *sighs* It's kinda boring, now that peace returned and the world's back to normal since there's no longer any evil. But.. I have nothing to do now. And everyone else is so busy.. *groans* I'm jealous. -_-

[Nova]

Meanwhile in town--

Ryou-I don't mean any harm. Gangster 1-Maybe you should think about that next time you borrow money from the boss and try to skip town. Ryou- I was going to come up with the money...I just need some time. Gangster 2- 9:00 is 9:00, what part of that do you not understand? Gangster 1- Grab him and bring him inside *Ganster 1 and 2 grab onto Ryou and drag him inside a Mob owned shop* Ryou- Let me go! Gangster 1- You're gonna pay up and then we'll let you go. *Nothing but silence but then a table tips over and grunts and screams are heard from inside followed by Ryou running out. He put's his bloody katanas together again, puts the bow on his back and runs off*

[Admiral44]

Meanwhile,
??????-Oy!! Cho-san! >_< Then, a young boy, wearing regular clothes, yet he looks like a Miniature Clay, is running towards Cho and stops in front of him. This is Clarth, the youngest Tenshin. Clarth-Cho-san, Kas-niisan is being a meany.. Help me beat him up! You have nothing to do, right?! >_<

There's a young boy with grey fair hair who's the tallest among the group of kids, who is wearing a dirty set of clothing that looks worn out. This is Taro. Taro-*rubbing his eye* Cho-niisan!! Cho-Er.. Taro. There's a young girl with blonde pig-tails, red cheeks and wearing clothing similar to Taro's, expect they look more neat and new. This is Emeta. Emeta-Cho! You should do something about your friends! They are awfully mean! >_< The last boy who has brown hair and is as tall as Emeta, wearing clothing identical to Cho's. This is Ken. Ken-Clarth-san is right! You should beat up Kas!! Cho-*sweatdrops and backs away* W-why are you all coming to me? I'm not going to beat up Kas.. I'm sure we can work this out in a non-violent way. ^_^'' Ken-Give him a taste of that Satsu-bukou-attack!! Cho-... Satsugeki Bukouken? o_O'' That would be.. a little too far, Ken! Besides.. I forgot how to perform that technique, since I rarely fight. But! Let's go see Kas! I'm sure we can get things sorted out here! ^_^ Taro-Really? Ken-Hmph! Yeah, right.. >_>''

[Nova]

Ryou-*panting from running*(I need to blend in)*sees group of kids*(that is my best chance)*walks over near group but still shys away*

[~Felly~]

Meanwhile,
Flame: *walking around Mystic Village with her hands in her pockets* ... *sighs* I'm so bored! I haven't done anything in well over two years! >_< A young girl who looks somewhat like Flame in the face, but has blue eyes and blonde hair runs up to Flame. She is wearing a blue skirt with a black t-shirt. This is Rin, Flame's little sister. Rin: Flame-niichan! You won't believe who I saw today! Flame: I bet I will... -_-;; Rin: Crest-sensei! Flame: C-Crest?! C-Crest Manisuke?! Rin: Yeah! And Misaki-chan's with him! Flame: Outta the way, Rin! *runs towards the village entrance* Rin: W-wait up! Flame: *notices Cho and stops* H-huh? Rin: *doesn't notice Flame stopping and runs into her, knocking her over* Flame: Ah! *falls down* Rin: *falls on top of Flame*

[Admiral44]

Clarth-*notices Flame* Ehh? Flame-san? What are you doing on the ground?.. o_O'' *shakes head and to Cho* But, Cho-san! There's no reasoning with Kas-niisan! All you have to do is knock him out and Clay-niisan will be back again!! That'll be much easier then doing it the "nice" way! >_<

[Magoseong]

Cho-... *ignores Flame for the moment* Hey, hey! Even if he's annoying, I would never hurt Kas! ^_^ Let's try solving this problem without conflict. Ken-Booh! How lame! How come you don't solve everything with violence anymore, Cho?! Kas deserves no mercy!! Emeta-Ken's right here. You've became so soft-hearted, Cho.. Cho-Soft-hearted, huh? Ken-As Clarth said! It's easier just to knock out Kas! If you knock him out, he'll become Clay! Cho-... Clay? ! Oh.. Oh right, because of them being in that strange "glued" condition. When one of them loses consciousness three times in a row, they swap places. Kas becomes Clay.. I forgot about that. Ken-Yeah! So.. Are you going to beat him up?! Cho-... *scratches his head* No. Ken-Aaww.. >_< Cho-But I'll figure something out.. ^_^ Don't worry. Ken-Eh? What are you going to do? Cho-... You'll see. But right now, just show me where Kas is.

Cho-You'll fine out.. Taro-... *follows Ken and Emeta, while looking back at Cho* Cho-... *looks around, sighing a bit - he finally takes notice of Flame* Hmm? Flame-chan? *walks toward her and Rin* What are you doing there? ^_^ A voice whispers to Cho.. Cho-*stops and looks around* Huh? ... Did you say something Flame? o_O''

[Nova]

Ryou-(ok they're moving time to go)*follows the group but strays a few feet behind*

[~Felly~]

Rin: *jumps up, off of Flame* U-uhm.. sorry.. Flame: *sits up and shakes her head* ... *to Clarth* I just fell. ^_^;; *to Cho* Say something? Other than what I just said to Clarth a few minutes ago and this, no. Why? o_O

Meanwhile, at the village entrance,
A man wearing a straw hat enters the village with a female wearing a similar straw hat. This is Crest and Misaki Manisuke. Crest: ...Hm. Hasn't changed much since I've last seen it. *laughs* Haha! Maybe it's just me! ^_^;; Misaki: ...-_- The only thing that hasn't changed is your stupidity, Crest.. -_-

[Admiral44]

Meanwhile,
Clarth-*looks at Cho* Stop hallucinating and let's go! >_< *runs after all the other kids* Wait up, wait up!

[Magoseong]

Cho-A-ah.. Sorry. I thought you.. Uhm. *shakes his head* Just, forget it. It's not a big deal. Ah, but anyways-- Ken and Emeta both come back, dragging Cho. Cho-?! A-ah! Ken-Come on, Cho! Your so slow! Emeta-Yeah, really! Cho-H-Hold on a minute! Ken-*looks at Flame* Hey! If you wanna come along, then feel free to do so! Cho-H-hey! >_<

[~Felly~]

Flame: Hm? *stands up and brushes self off* Alright, I'm coming, I'm coming. *follows Ken* Rin: W-wait up! *runs after Flame*

Meanwhile,
Crest: *sitting at the ramen stand, eating ramen* Hm, hm. Hey, sis, you think we'll find that girl? Misaki: *sitting next to Crest, reading a book* I don't know. Who is "that girl?" Crest: Flame-chan! Who else?! Misaki: Oh.. I don't know. *turns page* Crest: I saw someone that looked like her earlier. ^_^;; Maybe she is here! She's probably just younger than I thought. Misaki: *sighs and turns page*

[Nova]

Ryou-*at Cho* Hey, is it ok if I tag along just for awhile, I have nothing else to do in this town

[Magoseong]

Cho-Eh?! *looks around, then looks at Ryou* Who..? Ken-Aw, just hurry up already! Cho-Aagh! Er! Sure, go ahead - I guess! O_o

Meanwhile,
?????-And that's why your here, huh? ??????-Yes. Do you know anyone who's capable of handling this task? ?????-Are we just sending one person? I believe a group is more logical. ??????-I guess. ?????-You know.. Seeing you and the other Holy Circle soldiers here, I'd thought it was something more urgent. ??????-Urgent? Everyone arrives.. Ken-*looks around* Aagh! Kas was here a while ago.. Cho-... *looks around* Eh, well.. I guess then we should just forget about this then. ?! Huh? Cho suddenly runs toward two young men. One of them has a cowlick and is wearing a blue and purple trench coat. The other one has spikey tall hair, wearing a dark grey and white military styled uniform with two sheathes attached to both of his side. These two are Junko and Kliser.

I'm strong! ^_^ *rubs head* What exactly am I gonna do, though? Is it dangerous?! I can handle anything! Just like my older siblings! ^_^ *to Kliser* Hey, Kliser-san... Since you're here, does that mean Cless-san's here, too?! He promised me that he'd gimme some sword lessons next time he was in town! ^_^ There's a 19-year old, sleeping on a bench nearby. He has a straw hat covering his face, and he's wearing a long, light blue cape, with a black t and a light blue pair of pants on as well. He looks like a pirate. ?????-Oy, Clarth... Why are you so cheery and loud? >_< *sits up and picks up his straw hat and puts it on his face, revealing him to have green eyes, a scar on his right cheek, and short brown hair. Clarth-*notices him* Ohh!! Idate-san! ^_^

[Magoseong]

Junko-... *looks down at Clarth* Strong, you say? Sorry.. But strength is pretty useless for this delivery. Cho-*approaches Junko and Kliser* Junko..? *looks at Kliser, surprised* K-Kliser..! Kliser-*notices Cho* Heh.. Hey Cho! Cho-Why are you here? I thought you'd be too busy to hang around here! Kliser-I'm just here to take care of a little business. Cho-Business? What do you mean? Kliser-Nothing you ever need to know, loser! Cho-*vein pops out* You...!! Still arrogant..?! Just because your part of Holy Circle doesn't mean your better then me! Kliser-Really? Cho, what have you been doing with your life lately? Anything interesting? Cho-... *looks down* I-I.. Er.. Kliser-Heh.. At least I'm not wasting away my life here! Cho-... Kliser-How about, instead of doing nothing.. You could help the village out with their economic problems. Start a business at the Capital? Deliver and exchange goods.. Do something to make yourself useful to the world! Cho-Grr..! Kliser-So what, if your the one who defeated Yanoku? That's the past.. Right now's the present. Think about your future! Cho-... Kliser-... Teh! You'll always be the same, Cho. It's shameful to call you my rival. *walks off* ... Oh? *looks back at Clarth* Cless? Yeah, he's here. But I'm afraid he doesn't have time to give you swordplay lessons. Don't worry.. They'll be a day where we'll be able to stay here for a little while. The duty of Holy Circle is a bit rough. Anyways.. *looks at Junko* Hope you can assign an appropriate group for this task. *walks away and vanishes* Junko-Yeah, yeah.. Cho-...

[Nova]

Ryou- (This Kliser fellow sure is an arrogant *******. Oh well if they have a job...with a reward, I'll help out. Now I just need to hope I get picked)

[Admiral44]

Clarth-*crosses arms and puffs cheeks out* ...Boo! Idate-*walks towards everyone, placing his hand down on Clarth's head and to Junko* So. I couldn't help from overhearing about this job... *yawns* Uaagh, I'll take care of it. Maybe take two or three people with me, considering everyone you're thinking of hiring is pretty busy with their lives and stuff. I'd be good for me to get out of here every once and a while. ^_^ Clarth-*looks annoyed* ... ... ... Idate-*looking around, actually just now noticing Cho, Flame, Ryou, and Rin* Ahh! Well... I'll take these guys with me, actually! Considering, if they're here, then that must mean they have no lives! ^_^ Clarth-*sweatdrops* ...What about me, Uncle Idate?... I can do it, too! T_T Idate-*looks down at Clarth* Huh? What, Clarth? *picks up Clarth and sits him down on his shoulder, while holding on to him* Well, I dunno. If I took you and your sister found out, she might kick me out of your home. And that'd be no good... You wouldn't want Uncle Idate to be homeless now, would you? Clarth-No! That's why we should go ask Cia-niisama if I can go! Idate-*sweatdrops* ... (Dang it, I thought that would make him change his mind about wanting to go. T_T)

[Magoseong]

Junko-*looks at Clarth* Kids aren't allowed. That includes you, Tenshin. Complain and I'm going to smack you. ^_^ *looks at Idate* Anyways.. Idate, I believe just you, me and the important fellas will be fine for this task. But perhaps, if possible, we could also get Cia to come along. But that's hoping for a bit too much. Regardless, this is just a simple yet very important delivery. Cho-Important..? What do you mean? Junko-We're heading to the Capital in order to deliver something "important". We are also scheduled to have a meeting with the king of Abergeus. ^_^ Cho-... ?! W-wait?! Your going to Abergeus?! Junko-Yeah.. The "Golden" kingdom. It's gunna be a long trip to get there, since Abergeus is practically on the other side of the world. -_- Cho-... Can I come?! I wanna go to Abergeus!! Junko-Ahaha! Hahaha!! No.. -_- You aren't going Cho. None of you are. Cho-W-why not?! Junko-Your staying here, in Mystic Village. Cho-And what, do nothing?! I wanna go to Abergeus! I always wanted to go to the Golden kingdom! Junko-Sorry. But you can't come, Cho. Cho-...

[Nova]

Ryou-(I actually have a few "issues" to deal with it. If I have the chance I'd go but I need to be accepted by that idiot)*chuckles*

[Admiral44]

Clarth-*points at Junko and has his thumb down and tongue pointed out* Boo! -_- *notices Ryou and sweatdrops* ... Idate-Damn... Must've missed that part about it being important. Must've been asleep. >_>'' And... Going to Argus or whatever it's called. Don't feel like going around the world in eighty days, my pets. ^_^ Clarth-It's Abergeus! Sasuke-sama and Uncle Ray have been there before! They said it was a beautiful place! ^_^ Idate-Yeah... Whatever. Still sounds troublesome. I thought it'd be just a basic mission I could take on, get a little pocket change, you know? >_>'' *coughs* Buuut, if we get Cia to go... Then, I'll go. A beautiful woman we could use. ^_^ *crosses arms* We should go see her. Considering, we're seeing the KING, after all. Only thing that really sounds interesting. ^_^ (Plus, maybe I can get that annoying bounty off my head... >_<)

[Magoseong]

Junko-*to Idate* Idate, since your living at the Tenshin residence, why don't you go and ask Cia and see if she could tag along with us? Cho-... How come your bringing Cia? Junko-We need the important figures to come along.. To show that we're being serious and all. ^_^ Cho-... *looks at Idate* Why are you bringing Idate then? o_O'' Junko-Because he's cool. *looks at Idate* He reminds me of me alot. We're alike in many ways! But.. Alas, we still have our major differences. I'm very handsome and Idate's patheic with women. ^_^ Cho-... *sweatdrops* Uh huh.. Junko-... Also, Idate has commited some bad deeds. Isn't that right, Idate? Cho-... Junko-But, never mind.. We should hurry up and organize this trip to Abergeus. *coughs* As pointless as this is, the Holy Circle is counting on us to be there. And we're good friends with Holy Circle, it wouldn't be right if we were to suddenly turn our backs towards them. -_- No, no.. That's wrong. >_> Cho-...

[~Felly~]

Flame: ...So basically, we can't come because we're not important enough? *crosses her arms and frowns* I've been at home for two years straight doing absolutely nothing while you guys are running off on missions! >_< Rin: T_T I wanna go too.. Flame: *turns to Rin* You wish. You're little... and a kid! I'm not watching you! >_<

[Admiral44]

Clarth-Yeah! I agree with Flame-san! It's not fair, Uncle Junko! >_< Idate-*puts Clarth back down on the ground* Yeah, yeah... *walks off* I dunno if she'll go or not... I'm sure she'll go, though. We'll just meet you guys at the entrance, I guess. *disappears around the corner* Clarth-*whispering to Cho and Flame* Hey, hey! I actually have an idea! If we run and hurry, we could beat Idate to Cia-niisama and ask her if we can come! 'Cuz, you know, she's the Elder and she has more authority then Junko! ^_^

[Magoseong]

Junko-*right behind Clarth, grabbing his shoulder* Whispering around me is pointless, kiddo.. I have good ears. *leans back* It's true, Cia has more authority then me.. But this is Holy Circle business. You guys are staying here and that's that. We need some of you to stay behind, to manage the village.. Besides, this job's going to be awfully boring.. It's actually a good thing if you don't come along. -_- Cho-You think staying here is any better? You know how important it is for me to go to Abergeus! Junko-That's right.. You always wanted to go to Abergeus. But mind you we aren't going to stay there, Cho. It's just a quick visit.. Cho-... Junko-If I were to bring you Cho, there's no doubt you would just stay behind. And we'll have to hate you afterwards, for abbandoning us.. Cho-What! Wait a minute, er.. I wasn't.. *sweatdrops* Junko-That's the reason why I'm not bringing you Cho. If you were a bit more mature and understood your limits, I would have brought you without any trouble. Cho-... Junko-But I guess I can understand how you feel.. It's been kinda boring around here in Mystic Village. Cho-Boring? The most fun I had here is practicing out swordsmanship. Suddenly a blue fireball appears beside Cho. Junko-*notices the fireball* Hmm? That.. Cho-Huh? *notices the fireball* !! The fireball falls down and explodes into a ghostly eruption. Cho-?!! Ah! Junko-Oh? ... The flames then transforms into a white wolf with black eyes and golden pupils - it's fur dances around like flames. This is the great wolf spirit Okami - commonly known as Kiyu. Cho-It's you! K-Kiyu!! Kiyu-... *looks back at Cho and communicates in a telepathic female voice, as her mouth isn't moving* Cho.. Cho-Haha! I haven't seen you for a while! Junko-Ah, why if it isn't Cho's cute pet? How've you been, Kiyu-chan? Kiyu-*smoke comes out from her head and glares at Junko* Junko-A-ah.. Don't give me that look. Anyways.. I can tell your here for a reason, Kiyu. Kiyu-... I've detected a powerful presense, heading this way. Current distance is 80 kilometres and coming in fast. Junko-A monster? A monster's heading this way? What a surprise.. Kiyu-It's Surge level is high. It's a threat. We'll have to go quickly before it reaches the village. Cho-*looking quite shocked* ..! Ken-Monster? A monster's heading here? Taro-How scary..! Emeta-What are you gunna do, Uncle Junko? Everyone..? Junko-... *tugs his collar and smiles* Heh, what perfect timing. Let's get the Holy Circle involved in this! Make them do all the work! *suddenly walks away* I'll go get em.. *yawns* Emeta-... He's going to make the Holy Circle take care of the monster? How lazy.. Cho-... *suddenly runs off* Kiyu-?.. *looks at Cho and follows him* Cho? Where are you going? Cho-I'm gunna go get my equipment! I'm gunna smash that monster to bits! Kiyu-Cho! Wait! Cho-Finally! I knew something exciting was going to happen! Ken-Eeeh! That's Cho for you! ^_^ *chases after Cho - in comparison with Cho's speed, Ken is ridicolously slow* Go get em! Taro-Aah.. I think we should get the others to help out too.

[Nova]

Ryou-(I guess I can help too, I need the reward money)Im gonna go since this monster won't be anything to me because I'll stop him before he gets within 20 kilometers of here.

[Admiral44]

Clarth-Others? Huh... Like Ray-san and... *crosses arms and thinks* Kas-niisan. -_-'' *coughs* Ehh, maybe we can just forget about him and go find Ray-san. ^_^'' *walks off*

[Magoseong]

Emeta-*looks at Ryou* Saying that and doing it are two different things, mister.. -_-'' Cho already has a head start - I suggest you get going then. Taro-I-I'll go get.. Reo-san! Emeta-Reo? Wait a minute.. Reo's still sick, remember? Taro-... Oh, right.. Uhm.. *follows Clarth* Wait! Emeta-*follows Taro*

At the village entrance..
Cho, now wearing fingerless gloves and holding a silver single edged sword slides out from the village entrance, zooming past both Misaki and Crest and eventually stops to look foward. Kiyu shortly appears beside him. Cho-*places his sword on his shoulder* Alright! I haven't wielded an actual sword for a very long time! Kiyu-Cho! Is this okay? Are you alright to be fighting in your current condition? Cho-... What do you mean, Kiyu-chan? ... *taps his foot against the ground* Well.. I might be a bit sloppy in this battle.. I haven't actually fought in real combat for quite sometime! Kiyu-... Also, your oppenent.. This monster, it's not normal. The wave motions I'm detecting seem to be out of control. If your not careful-- Cho-Don't worry! Wave motions out of control? Who cares! I'll be alright! I've overcomed many obstacles, defeated Yanoku and saved the world once or twice before! A petty berserk monster's not gunna stand a chance against me! Kiyu-... So arrogant. I'll have to aid you then. Cho-Fighting alongside me again.. So nostalgic. Kiyu-... Target is only a few metres away. A goblin creature holding a giant sword and riding on a horse heads toward Cho. Cho-Yeah! I see em up ahead! *runs foward* Let's go!! Kiyu-*follows Cho* ... (Wait.. These wave motions.. They're--) !! Wait, Cho! Cho-Huh?! *suddenly stops* W-what the?! Suddenly an entire army of goblins riding on horses head for Cho and Mystic Village.

Meanwhile, somewhere out on the plains, where Mystic Village can be seen in the distance..
A tall, muscular man with white hair, wearing green armor that has a red skull shaped as a lion's head on his chest. This is Segma - the infamous king of the Blood Lions. Segma-*looking at Mystic Village* Buah hahahahah!!! *jumps up and makes a fist* This is it!! My ultimate plan to get my revenge on those Mystic whimps!! I'll finally get to see that stupid village burn to the ground!! Even if those stupid mindless goblins fail to destory the Mystic Village.. I'll have my secret weapon all ready out! And I'll oblitirate those guys!! Ahahaha!! Goblin Soldier 1-... *whisper, whisper* This guy nuts. o_o Goblin Soldier 2-*whisper, whisper* You not say? -_-'' Segma-*notices the two Goblin soldiers* ?! Hey! You two!! What are you doing here!? >_< Go out there with your other comrades!! Goblin Soldier 1-!! B-but, sir! We not have any horses to ride! T_T Segma-Stop talking like a bufoon! *picks the two soldiers up and tosses them foward* Just go!! Both Goblins-Aaaahh!! >_< *thud, crashes on the ground, rolling down a hill* Aaaaahh!! T_T Segma-... *coughs* Heh heh.. I'll have my revenge. Ooh, yes I will. ^_^

[~Felly~]

Flame: *dashed back to her house after hearing about the monster to get her weaponry* ... *is standing next to Cho* Rin: *is at home, locked in the house*

Meanwhile,
Crest: *noticed Cho pass by him and grins happily* Sounds like there's gonna be a fight! *jumps up and tosses Black Cat into the air* Let's go have some fun! We'll take our time 'cause.. y'know. The best show up last! ^_^;; Misaki: ...*stands up and walks past Crest* Whatever, Crest-niisan. Crest: H-hey! Wait up! *follows Misaki*

[Admiral44]

Meanwhile,
There's a young man standing behind Flame and Cho, he has medium, spikey hair, and brown eyes. He is wearing Holy Circle armor, only he has a red cape. He has a red hankerchief tied around his head, acting as a head band. He has a sheath attached to his back. This is Cless. Cless-*focusing on the goblins* Huh. Well... Looks like an whole army's heading this way, huh? Well, I was planning on doing this myself, but... *rubs the back of his head* Looks like I have to wait for everyone else. Heh heh. That's a miscalculation on my part. How arrogant of me. ^_^''

[Magoseong]

Cho-Oh jeez.. *holds his sword tightly, grinning* Badly outnumbered here. What a pain.. A goblin and his horse suddenly rushes at Cho quickly, bashing him in the head with a mace. Goblin Rider 1-Aargh!! Cho-!! *gets hit and flies back* Aaugh!! Kiyu-! C-Cho! Cho-*quickly lands on his hands and leaps up into the air, landing back on his feet* Aagh.. *wiping his mouth* Drat! That hurt.. A couple of goblin riders circle around everyone.. Some of them have bows, taking aim at them. Cho-*looks around* Jeez.. Don't have to be so.. *leaps up into the air, performing a spinning slash that emits a cyclonic shockwave to knock off the goblins from their horses* .. Rough!! The goblins all fall off, crashing into the ground, with their horses running away, fleeing. Cho-*lands on the ground, then gets into a fighting stance* Even outnumbered.. The goblins all slowly get up and get into stance as well, circling around..

Meanwhile,
Taro-*looks around, following Clarth with Emeta* Uhm.. *notices Junko up ahead, walking* Huh? It's Junko-san.. Emeta-Uncle Junko? Suddenly goblins riding on horses show up here as well, running at the kids - they have bows readied with arrows that have explosives attached to them. They are currently taking aim at the three kids and Clarth. Emeta-Uncle Junko! Hey! Junko-..? *notices all of them* Eh, you kids? What are you-- !! *notices the goblins* The goblins fire their arrows.. Junko-*points his finger at all of them and snaps his finger* Eh! Emeta-?! J-Junko! A barrier surrounds them all. The arrows hit them, creating a giant explosion. The barrier managed to block out the blast but.. Junko-*coughs due to the smoke afterwards* Aagh.. Emeta-*down on her knees, covering her head* Aah..!! Taro-*his head's on the ground, shivering in fear* Ahh..!! *covering his head* Junko-*runs toward them, swinging his arm in order to blow the smoke way* Hey! Damnit, don't just sit there! Get out of the-- A goblin passes by, bashing the top of Junko's head with a mace. Junko-Oof! X_X *falls down on his knees* Ow.. *falls down on his stomach, uncouncious* Emeta-Aah.. *looks around and notices Junko* !! U-Uncle Junko!! *runs toward him but gets stopped by a goblin on a horse* !! Aah!! Taro-*notices Emeta* E-Emeta-chan!! Goblin Rider-... Heh! *picks up Emeta* Emeta-!! Aaah!! Let go of me!! Help!! Taro-*gets up* Emeta!! Junko-Aaauuhh.. @_@

[~Felly~]

Misaki/Crest: *stop when they see the goblin rider* !! Misaki: *sees the goblin rider pick up Emeta* Crest: Misaki.. Stay back.. I don't want to scare these kids any more.. Especially with my.. y'know. Cross-genderish attitude. ^_^;; Misaki: Whatever.. just go. Crest: Right. *disappears* Misaki: *slowly walks over to the group*

Meanwhile,
Flame: *gets into a fighting stance* It's been awhile since I've actually fought anything.. This should be fun.. ^_^;;

[Nova]

Ryou-*took his time getting there* Well time to warm up *takes out his bow, and places 5 arrows in it* Lets play

[Admiral44]

Cless-*draws sword and gets in stance* ...You guys be careful if you're rusty. Alright? *slams sword into the ground, causing a huge shockwave to head at three Goblins* Gou Majinken!

Meanwhile,
Clarth-*looking around* Dang, where'd all these uglies come from?! >_< *reaches for something on his back* W-wait... I don't have a sword. o_O'' *gets in fighting stance* Grr! Guess I have to do this hand to hand! I'll have to beat you guys down then go save Emeta! >_< Then, a tiger's roar can be heard... Clarth-*grows pale* E-ehh? You uglies brought a tiger, too?.. O_O'' Then, a white tiger, with huge fangs and lightning bolts surrounding it comes rushing by, slashing all the Goblins with the bows, taking them out. Then, a young man with long, black hair in a ponytail, with golden eyes, wearing a special keikogi, with chinese signs on them, wearing a headband and fingerless gloves that all have the Yin-Yang sign on them jumps down from the tiger, with a scroll in hand. This is Ray. Ray-Hey, you kids alright?! Sorry I'm late! Clarth-*notices Ray* U-Uncle Ray! You're here! And you brought Driger to save us! T_T

[Magoseong]

Emeta-*falls down and crashes on the ground* Aagh! Ow, ow.. All the goblins fall off their horses - the horses end up running away and the goblins all lay down on the ground, uncouncious or fatally wounded. Taro-*notices Ray, smiling in joy* R-Ray-san! Suddenly lightning zooms past and the bolt starts circling around both Ray and Driger. A strange energy force creates a blue barrier around the two of them which causes them to enter a state of paralysis. Taro-!! R-Ray-san! Suddenly a bald baby sucking on a pacifier sitting in a large green machine that's identical to Segma's armor appears in front of everyone. The machine is aiming some kind of antenna at Ray and Driger. ????-Goo, goo.. *spits out his pacifier* Bad man and dangerous tiger, successfully immobilized and sustained in a state of paralysis! Surge level dropping! Cane-chan's a genius! ^.^ Suddenly the blue barrier vanishes, after the antenna gets blown apart by a fireball. ????-Goo?! Junko walks toward the baby in the green machine, with a large bump in his head. Junko-... Ow.. >_<'' ????-It's the cowlick man! Junko!! My archnemesis!! Junko-...? *looks at ????* Why, if it isn't little little snot-nosed Segma junoir! ... What was your name? Cane, was it? ^_^ Cane is one of the remaining Blood Lions who still follow Segma. Cane is apparently Segma's nephew, though in truth, Cane is really Segma's genetic clone created in an accident. Cane can't age, so he remains as an infant. Despite this, he has grown incredibly intelligent (much more smarter then Segma at least). Despite this, he still acts like a child. He and Junko both have issues with each other in the past as Cane is upset about Junko's lazy nature which prevents his intellect potentials from reaching to the fullest and that he's a "disgrace" to human kind.. Junko could care less though and treats Cane as a "kid", another thing which annoys Cane. His pacifier tastes like lemonade and it has a Blood Lion insignia on it. Cane also has a weakness of easily falling to sleep by a lullaby, or some long story. Cane-Junko!! Junko!! Junko-... ... ... *shrugs* What? Cane-Cane-chan hates you alot!! Junko-... Hate's a very strong word here.. But okay. o_O Cane-Cane-chan's going to kill you now! Junko-*sweatdrops* Kill's pretty intense.. How about "defeat"? Defeat sounds alot better.. ^_^ Cane-Cane-chan saids bye bye to Junko-san! *pushes a button, which fires missiles at Junko - they only head for Junko* Junko-... *sweatdrops* Crazy kid. -_- *runs back, in a cowardly style* Whaaaaaa!!! ^_^

Meanwhile,
The three goblins get hit by Cless' attack, all dropping their weapons and getting knocked down to the ground. Cho-*spins his sword around and flips it into the air which creates a strong force, firing a wide shockwave that flies in mid-air* Shinkuu Zanshouha! *grabs his sword in a reversed style afterwards* Two goblins get hit by Cho's attack. The shockwave explodes after hitting two goblins, taking out two more that were beside the two goblins that got hit. Kiyu-*looks around and suddenly vanishes* ... Several sparks of slashes hit majority of the goblins surrounding everyone, attacking them mutiple times - many of them fall after getting hit by three strikes. Cho-H-hey! Kiyu! Don't do that! Your ruining the challenge here! >_< ????-Then allow me to make it more interesting for you "Hero"! Suddenly a girl with short red hair and pink eyes pops out from the ground, uppercuting Cho from below. Cho-!! Aagh!! *flies into the air, with some blood following* The red haired girl is wearing a green armor similar to Segma's, having the same red lion skull insignia on her chest. This is Mint - one of Segma's very few loyal followers. As with Junko and Cane, She has a bit of a rivalry going on with Cho, as Cho was always the one who defeated her in the past. Also, she's annoyed by Cho's "heroic" personality. She has a habbit of calling Cho "Hero", making it sound like some kind of mockery. Kiyu-*stops after many of the goblins have fallen and looks up, noticing Cho* !! Cho! Mint-Haha! *pulls Cho's face towards hers* It's been a while, Hero! Cho-*looks down, squinting his eyes* M-Mint..!? You..?! Mint-After all the humilation you put me through.. There's no way I'm going to let you off this time, Hero! Your life's as good as mine! Cho-...!! Mint-*picks Cho overhead, then tosses him at the ground* Heh! Here! Cho-!! Aaugh!! *crashes into the ground, creating a small pit* ... *coughs* O-ow.. >_<'' Mint-*lands in front of Cho, then slams her fist down on him* Die!! Cho-!! *quickly does a backflip and lands safely on his feet, dodging the attack* Mint-*causes the pit to grow bigger* Aagh! *looks at Cho* Teh! Cho-... *spins his sword around, then gets back into his stance* Mint.. If your here.. Does that mean Segma's here too?! Mint-*quickly appears in front of Cho, kneeing him in the stomach* Cho-!! Aaugh! Mint-What difference does it make if the Boss is here or not?! I'll be the one who'll kill you! Cho-... *quickly breaks away from Mint's grip, panting* Hah hah.. *holds his stomach* (Damnit..! She's gotten alot stronger and faster since last time.. She's serious about this, isn't she?) Mint-Heh heh.. *smacks her fist into her hand, getting ready for a fight* Come on!

[Nova]

Ryou-(Ok this is between him and her the least I can do is fend some of these goblins)*shoots the five arrows,whose tips burst into flames, heading at a row of goblins*

[Admiral44]

Cless-*looks at Cho, while noticing Mint* Huh. Cho, can you handle her on your own? I know you haven't been doing anything lately, are you rusty?

Meanwhile,
Clarth-*notices Junko* Ahh, Uncle Junko! >_< *notices Ray* Uncle Ray, help Uncle Junko! >_< Ray-*is on one hand and knee, holding his head* Yeah, gimme me a minute.. *shakes head* Gugh. Clarth-Ack! *looks at Driger* H-hey. Uhh... Driger, umm.. Driger-*disappears into a puff of smoke* Clarth-... ... ... *to Junko* Run, Uncle Junko, run! >_<

[Magoseong]

Junko-*suddenly starts running backwards, looking at Clarth* I'm runnin, I'm runnin! Cane-There's no escape, Junko-san! Cane-chan's heat seeking missile never fails to hit the target! Junko-... Heat seeking, eh? ^_^ *points his finger at the sky, shooting a fireball up* Pow.. The missiles all head up, heading straight for the fireball. The missiles managed to catch up to the fireball, exploding. Cane-... Junko-*stops running backwards, then walks back* ... I almost got killed by a baby. ^_^ Cane-*mutiple vein pops out* Grr!! Make a fool out of Cane?! Well-- Junko-*a glyph appears underneath him* Shining light of Heaven.. Gates of the underworld.. God's Lightning!! *snaps his finger at Cane's machine, pointing his index at him* Indignation!! A massive lightning bolt drops down, striking Cane and the machine. Cane-*looks up* Wuaah! Commence emergency escape action!! Uhm! >.< Eject!! Cane flies out from the machine before the lightning fully stroken the machine - the lightning bolt then causes the machine to explode. Cane-*gently floats down with a parachute* ... *sniff* ... T.T *lands in front of Junko* Junko-... *looks down and crosses his arms* Checkmate. Cane-... *looks up* Junko.. You.. You.. *starts crying immaturely* Big meanie!! Waaaah!! Junko-... I'm heartbroken. Now, then.. Cane-Haha! ^_^ *pushes a button on his belt he's wearing, which causes jet wings to come out from his back* Junko-...? Cane-*soars upward, bashing Junko in the chin* Junko-!! Aaugh! *falls back* Cane-*floats high in the air, then raspberries at Junko* Ttttphh! >_< Nyeh, nyeh nyeh nyeh! Didn't see that coming, right?! Cane-chan's a genius! Junko-... *looks up at Cane, looking dopey* Yay.. What have you accomplished? -_- Cane-*aims his hands at Junko* Junko-... *gets up and looks around, noticing that nothing's happening* ... Okay. Well.. This was fun. Suddenly a piece of the ground underneath Junko rises up, lifting him into the air. Junko-?! Wuah..! Cane-Haha! Through wave motions.. Cane-chan developed a neat way to control inanimated objects! Junko-... Brilliant I suppose. Cane-... Why isn't Junko-san ever impressed by Cane's brilliance?! Junko-Uhm.. Because I don't care? o_O Suddenly more goblins appear, surrounding everyone below Junko and Cane.. Junko-*looks down* Oh, shoot. -_-''

Meanwhile,
Cho-... A bit. But, I'm sure a nice fight with her will get me back on my feet! Mint-Teh! *dashes at Cho* Cho-*swings his sword back* Mint-*appears in front of Cho, swinging her arm back for a punch* Cho-*quickly slashes Mint upward* Koga!! *does a flurry of kicks and finishes it off with a downward slash* Hazan!! Mint-*blocking the blows with her arms* Aah! A surge of energy bursts from Mint's body.. Cho-?! *flies back* Aaugh! *does an aerial backflip to recover and lands safely on his feet* Teih! Mint-*appears in front of Cho* So clumsy.. Cho-?! Ah! o_O Mint-*sidekicks Cho in the stomach* Cho-!! *flies back, dropping his sword in the progress* Aah!! Oof! *hits the ground and rolls back rapidly, eventually stopping* ... *crashes on his stomach* Aah.. @_@ Mint-... *walks foward, then picks up Cho's sword and breaks it apart* What a useless toy.. Heh heh. Several cutting sparks surround Mint. Mint-?! What the?! Aah!! *slides back far* Grr! Kiyu-*appears in front of Cho, growling* ... Mint-... *shakes her hands* Ouch.. That hurt. -_- *glares at Kiyu* Teh! You! I remember you perfectly! Your that stupid b!tch who ended up screwing my fights with Cho! Kiyu-... Suddenly, all the other goblins head straight for Mystic Village. Kiyu-...! *looks around* Mint-Oh, that's right.. Your petty village's in danger. What will you do? There's another army coming from that direction too! Your village's surrounded. Today's the day this village falls.. *appears in front of Kiyu, while she doesn't pay attention* ..along with you guys! *roundhouse kicks Kiyu* Kiyu-...!! *doesn't react fast enough and flies sideways* Aaah! *slides across the ground* ... Mint-... *puts her leg down* Teh!

[Nova]

Ryou-*at Cless*You help them I'll keep these goblins back *puts 10 arrows on bow*Massive Arrow Barrage!*shoots the 10 arrows that multiply by 10 each until there are 1000 arrows rain down on the goblins*

[Admiral44]

Cless-...Right. *to Flame* Flame, cover his back. *dashes at Mint* Hey! Why don't you try fighting me instead? ^_^

Meanwhile,
Ray-*gets up, noticing the goblins* Ugh.. Damn. *looks at Clarth* Clarth. *looks at Emeta and Taro* Emeta. Taro. I'm getting you guys outta here. Clarth-But, wait.. Ray-san, how? >_< Ray-Simple. *grabs Clarth in his left hand and grabs Taro and Emeta in his right* You guys are going to Mr. Naru's house. ^_^ Clarth-Wait, Uncle Ray-- Ray-*winds up his arms, and throws, sending Emeta, Clarth, and Taro flying* Clarth-Guuuaahh!! >_< Ray-*sighs and then focuses on the Goblins* Alrighty.. *gets in defensive stance* Let's go wild.

Clarth, Taro, and Emeta are heading at the ground.
Clarth-Ahhhh!! Uncle Ray miscalculated! We're gonna be pancakes!! T_T Then, suddenly a trampoline appears where they're going to land. Clarth-*doesn't notice and is just praying now* ... The three land on it and then bounce up, into an opened window, inside the house they land on soft mats. The room is a library. There's a bed in the corner and it looks like there's someone in it. There's fancy chairs all over the room. There's an old man with a cane standing in front of the three kids. He looks like any other old man. This is Shikamaru. Shikamaru-Hey. Looks like Ray got you kids here in one piece. ^_^ Clarth-S-Shikamaru-ojisan!!! T_T

[Magoseong]

Taro-*laying down on his stomach* Ngh.. *looks up at Shikarmaru* Shi.. Shikamaru.. san. Emeta-... *gets up, rubbing her head* Nyeh.. Aah.. *looks at Shikamaru* Shikamaru.. *looks around* Ken's voice-Aaaaugh!! Help me!! Taro-!! That voice.. Ken!!

Meanwhile,
All the Goblins charges at Ray. Junko-Hey, Ray.. Don't get so reckless. Cane-Hey!! Pay attention to Cane-chan! The platform Junko's standing on flips upside down. Junko-... *simply jumps back, off the platform* Whoop.. *grabs onto the edge of the platform, once it flipped over* Cane-Teh! *swings his arms down, causing the platform to head straight down to the ground* Junko-!! Waauh! T_T The platform crashes.. Junko-Oof! X_X ... *suddenly rises up into the air* Cane-Hahaha! Cane also developed a way to control the wave motions from living creatures! It's like playing puppet! ^.^ So fun~! Junko-...!! *suddenly flies into a house, crashing into it* Aaugh!

Meanwhile,
Few of the arrows manage to hit the goblins, taking only a few of them out. Many of the goblins managed to get away in time, heading straight for Mystic Village. Mint-Teh.. *looks at Cless* P!ss off! *vanishes and reappears in front of Cless* Wait until I kill Cho first! *kicks Cless' sword, knocking it back and quickly pushes Cless back with a swift side kick* ... Cho-... *rolls over, rubbing his stomach, coughing* Agh.. *sighing with relief* ... -_-'' Mint-*appears in front of Cho, stepping on top of his neck - choking him* Heh heh! Cho-!! Aagh! >_< *grabs her foot and tries to push it off* Mint-*kneels closer toward Cho's face* You know.. I could never get why you were always able to defeat me in the past, Cho.. Cho-... *coughs, gags* !! Mint-It was annoying to endure such humilation.. To be defeated by you. But, this time.. *presses down harder* Cho-Ugh.. !!

[Nova]

((ooc:sorry about the massive arrows, I meant to put a restriction but Im too lazy to edit post))

Ryou-Damn I miscalculated that a bit*puts arrow back in his bag*Its time to really play*breaks bow apart into two seperate katanas*Shockwave!*stabs both katanas into the ground creating a small and narrow rippling path heading towards a path of goblins*

[Admiral44]

Cless-*slides back, squinting* Ngh. *suddenly makes a surprised face, and smiles* Ahh. ^_^ ????-Oy, Mint-chan. Stop trying to act like you're quick. -_-'' *suddenly, a strange flash happens, blinding everyone for just a second, and afterwards, it reveals a young man, with abnormally, dark spikey hair and dark eyes, wearing a teikogi similar to Ray's, only his is light blue and has designs on the ends and has a hood and he's wearing a special brown vest over it, with two sheathes on his side. He has a special headband on, with the Tenshin Clan on it, special Japanese-styled shoes, and he's wearing a sleeveless glove on his right hand and a brown wristband on his left. He's now standing in front of Cho and Mint is on the ground. ????-Huh. Dropped your guard down. Cless-Nice of you to join us, Clay-san. ????-*evil smirk* Hmhm. Yeeeeah.. About that-- *suddenly takes out a huge knife and turns around, tossing it at Cless. Cless-!! *gets pierced right in the shoulder* Graahh!! *falls down* ????-Hmhmhm. Dropped your guard down. And you were one of the brights one, too. ^_^ Cless-D-damnit.. *gets up on one knee, having one eye shut tight, and is slowly pulling the knife out of his shoulder* I should've known you weren't Clay. Clay doesn't wear a headband anymore. ????-Oh, really? That's no fun. *looks at Mint* Oy, Mint. Get up, I didn't hit you that hard. At least, I dropped the guy's guard down and now he's doomed. -_-'' *looks down, noticing Cho* Besides... I can't let you kill Shortie yet. ^_^ *picks up Cho by the neck, squeezing* I need him to tell me something. *looks Cho straight in the eye and his eyes are bloodshot* Where's... Clay? *suddenly spins around, and now this guy is wearing a red assassin's uniform, with the Blood Lion symbol on the front, he's wearing a mask that covers his face up to his eyes, which are brown. He has brown, spikey hair. This is Volke. He's also a Blood Lion. He's not really all that loyal to Segma, but he's skilled at what he does: Assassination. He makes clean kills everytime. He has a great despise for Clay and Idate as well, so basically he's what Mint is to Cho, and what Cane is to Junko, only to Clay. As long as he gets payed, he doesn't care who the employer is or what the job is, no matter how dirty it is. He has a huge bounty on his head. He seems to have past connections with Idate, strangely. He has a nickname for all the heroes and... He has strange mood swings. Volke-*squeezes tighter and suddenly his eyes become normal and look strangely happy* Oh.. And, while you're at it, tell me where that punk Idate is. ^_^

Meanwhile,
Ray-*notices Junko* H-hey. I'll stop being reckless if you stop playing around. ^_^ *suddenly grabs a Goblin by the legs and starts spinning around, knocking down some Goblins* H-yah! *lets go of the Goblin, knocking down a line of Goblins* Hmm. *gets in a low stance, looking like a tiger* ...

Meanwhile,
Clarth-!! Wait.. He's near! *starts running towards the door* Gotta help him! Shikamaru-*stops Clarth* ...Oy. What are you gonna do? You can't fight. -_- Clarth-But.. I gotta-- Shikamaru-Hey. *points at the bed* Go wake up the man in that bed and have him help. ^_^ Clarth-*looks at the bed* Huh? o_O

[Magoseong]

Emeta-*looks at the bed* Eh? Who's in that bed? Taro-*quickly runs out the door* Egh! Emeta-!! T-Taro!! Wait a minute! >_< Come back, your gunna get killed! ... That idiotic loser..

Meanwhile,
Goblins-*all screaming, yelping in pain* Aaagh! X_X ... All the goblins that were knocked down slowly get back up, rubbing their heads. Junko-*walks out from the destoryed house, coughing* ... Mgh.. *looks at Ray* Stop playing around? Oh, I'm not playing around. ^_^ ... I'm just getting too old for this nonsense. -_- Cane-Well, Junko-san! It's time for you to-- Junko-*snaps his finger* Cane-?! *suddenly gets electrocuted* Yaaah!! Junko-*also gets electrocuted, but he ignores the pain* Hmm.. Cane-*eventually becomes burnt, coughing out puffs of smoke* ... ... ... Junko-... *swings his arm, causing the electricity around him to vanish* Just get out of here, kid. Your dumb gizmos and gadgets have no chance against my awesome magic. I'm not even tryin here.. O_o'' Cane-*sniffs* ... *suddenly flies away* Waaah!! Junko-... *rubs his forehead, looking very annoyed* Cane-I'm telling!! Daddy's gunna make you pay!! [Cane refers to Segma as his "father".] Junko-... *puts his hands into his pockets* Why does he hate me so much? -_-'' Suddenly three goblins approaches Junko from behind. Junko-... *looks behind* Oh.. Hello there! ^_^

Meanwhile,
Cho-G-gaagh.. *starts sweating* ... ... ... Mint-*shakes her head, then looks up at Volke, looking annoyed* You..!! *gets up slowly* Cho-... *gags, coughs* ... Hah.. H-hah.. I-I'm.. Having t-trouble.. talking.. when your choking me like this..!! >_<'' Mint-*stands up straight* Kiyu-*appears behind Mint and strikes her from behind, swiping Mint and knocking her away to the side with Kiyu's tail* Mint-!! Aah!! *crashes into the ground* Kiyu-*leaps foward at Volke, then bites his arm that's holding Cho up*

[Nova]

Ryou-*notices Volke but continues slashing through goblins*(That guy is worth a shiny penny but now is not the place or time)*continues to dodge attacks from the goblins*These things just don't end, I need to start picking them up from a far*jumps on to a nearby post*Boomerang!*throws both katanas which slash through goblins and reconnect and the full bow comes back to Ryou*

[Admiral44]

Volke-!! Gargh! >_< *starts swinging his arm, trying to get Kiyu loose* Oy! Let go, Mutt! >_< Cless-*pulls the knife all the way out, panting* Ngh.. Guh. *throws the knife at Volke* Volke-! *quickly drops Cho and quickly spins around, even with Kiyu on his arm, barely catching the knife in time* G-geez.. *looks at Cless* You're annoying. -_-'' Cless-*holding his shoulder wound* ... Volke-But.. I'll have to deal with you after--... *starts swinging his arm rapidly, trying to get Kiyu loose* This mutt off me! Arghh, it hurts! Le' go! >_<

Meanwhile,
Ray-*sweatdrops* ...To old? So... Once I turn eighteen, I'll be considered "old"?.. o_O'' *shakes head, noticing the Goblins* ...Hey, you guys aren't that strong. ^_^''

Meanwhile,
Shikamaru-Damnit. I missed one. -_- Clarth-*runs towards the bed* Dangit, Taro! Can't wait.. >_< *pulls the covers off the bed, revealing Clay, looking exactly like how Volke had, only no headband* Clay-Zzzzzz... Clarth-*eyes grow wide* I-it's... Clay-niisan! ^_^ Shikamaru-Huh? Clay? *rubs head* Ahh.. Must've been the third time, huh? That must be troublesome.. Clay-Ngh.. Ugh. *wakes up and sits up, looking around* Ugh... Finally, it's my turn again. ^_^ *notices Clarth* Huh? Oh, hey Peewee. ^_^ Clarth-Don't call me Peewee! >_< *shakes head, deciding to put it aside for now* But, there's bigger problems. Ken and Taro are in trouble! >_< Clay-What do you mean, "in trouble"? -_-'' Clarth-I dunno! *grabs Clay's hand, dragging him* Let's go find out! Clay-W-wait a sec! I haven't been awake for a minute yet and I'm already doing work?! o_O'' Shikamaru-Ahahaha. To be young-- ^_^ *suddenly becomes bummed* Is a drag. -_-''

[Magoseong]

Emeta-Ahh.. Oh, Shikamaru-san. ^_^'' *looks at Clay, then walks toward him* Oh quit whining, Clay-san! Ken and Taro are both in trouble!! *starts pushing Clay, helping out Clarth* We have to hurry!

Meanwhile,
Junko-By that, I meant this is getting tiresome. All this-- *snaps his fingers, causing the three goblins to ignited in flames* Goblins-!! *all drops their weapons and runs away* Aaah!! O_O Junko-... Just makes me feel old and exhausted. -_-'' But, we haven't been in this kind of siduation before for a long time, have we? Well, anyway.. *jumps up and lands beside Ray* Let's finish this quickly. Let's go by the typical battle routine - you engage these guys in close combat, using full force. And I'll just sit here, chanting and strike them with flashy spells using minimal effort. ^_^ *lays down on the ground, with his arms underneath his head* Ta-Lalala~ Some of the goblins are seen with sweatdrops when they look at Junko. Regardless, they continue to get closer, preparing to attack.

Meanwhile,
Cho-*falls down, coughing* Ugh..! >_< Kiyu-*eventually loses her grip on Volke and flies to the side* !! *lands on her feet and gets in an agressive looking stance* ... Cho-*coughs* Ugh.. *quickly does a backflip and lands on his feet* Teh.. *rubs his neck* J-Jeez.. What the hell? Mint-... *gets up, shaking her head* Damnit..! This is annoying! Cho-You don't say.. >_< Mint-I had enough! *dashes at Cho, raising her arm into the air* Die! *thrusts her fist straight for Cho's head* Cho-! *tilts his body away in order to avoid the punch* Mint-*quickly roundhouse kicks Cho to the side where he tilted towards* Eh! Cho-!! *quickly bends back, grabbing Mint's leg* Mint-!! Cho-*standing up straight, pulling her leg up* Mint-!! Wuaah! Cho-*quickly trips Mint's other leg, causing her to fall down* Mint-!! Aagh! Cho-*lifts Mint up by her leg* ... Cut it out. I might be a bit rusty, but you still can't beat me. ^_^ Mint-... Y-you..! *slams her fist into Cho's stomach - it was left wide open due to Cho's arrogance and naivety..* Cho-!! Ugh! >_< *drops Mint and wobbles back, coughing* O-ow.. -_-'' Mint-*crashes on her back* Uh! *rolls back and backflips, landing back on her feet* Don't treat me like a kid! Cho-Gagh.. *shakes his head, then takes his hands off his stomach* ...

[Nova]

Ryou-*is still on top of the pole just firing off arrows at the wave of goblins, trying to hold them back*(I can handle these guys but its just too much)*continues firing arrows*(I wasted energy on that arrow barrage so im going to need to keep it low this time)*He puts 10 arrows on the bow*Arrow Barrage!*the arrows once again shoot forth but multiply less, each arrow multiplies into two arrows which ends up with 200 arrows in total heading at the goblins*

[Admiral44]

Volke-*is rubbing arm* Gah.. -_- *looks at Mint* What are you talking about? You are a child. *takes out two daggers, one with a jagged edge and another which looks like a sword with special designs, they are both extremely sharp, these are his twin daggers, Stiletto (in a reverse grip) and Baselard and looks at Kiyu* ...Heh. I've never killed a spirit before. Cless-... (Damnit, I feel so useless with this wound!!) Then, suddenly, Cless's wound starts to glow and it is healed. Cless-Ehh? o_O'' *stands up and looks at his wound* (Healed?.. o_O) *looking around*

Meanwhile,
Ray-*looks down at Junko and sweatdrops* Hey.. -_-'' Then, suddenly, swords made of holy energy falls around the Goblins, piercing them, but instead of hurting them, it makes them unable to move.. Ray-Eh? o_O'' *looks around, noticing the swords* What's this.. Magic? o_O *looks down at Junko* You do that? ?????-No, that was me. Then, a young man wearing dark mage robes with strange designs on them, long black hair and red eyes with a strange symbol on his forehead lands in front of Ray and Junko. This is Soren Magami, a researcher of the Holy Circle and was going to accompany them to Abergeus to do some research there. Ray-Ahh. If it isn't our little Mr. I Hate Everything. How have you been, Soren? ^_^ Soren-...Shut up. -_-'' *turns around, having his back to both Ray and Junko, crossing his arms* What are you guys doing, playing around here? You know your village is being attacked, right?.. Ray-Attacked? Well... I mean. Yeah. But.. I thought there wasn't many of them attacking? o_O Soren-Well then, you thought wrong. Ray-*rubbing the back of his head, looking embarrassed* ...Oh. Well... I got a little distracted. Had to save a couple kids, you know. ^_^''

Meanwhile,
Clay-Alright, alright, fine! Sheesh. >_<

Outside..
Clarth-*looking around* Hmm. Clay-*looking around as well and is whistling* Alright... Soooo--

[Magoseong]

Taro-Aaah!! H-Help me! A goblin on a horse is seen carrying Taro away. Ken is laying down on the ground.. Emeta-!! K-Ken! *runs toward Ken and kneels down* Ken-... Dang it! That Taro.. *gets up slowly* He pushed me out of the way..!! >_<''

Meanwhile,
Goblins-!! Wuagh!! ... *all of them falls down, collasping* Junko-Relax, Soren.. Lighten up! We got the Holy Circle here to lend out a hand.. Surely by now, they'd taken action.. And got things under control. ^_^ *gets up* Anyways.. With that said, we shouldn't slack off and let them do all the work. And by we, I mean you two. Suddenly bombs fall from the sky, exploding into poison gas.. Junko-...!! *starts coughing* Augh.. *gags, then collaspes with Ray and Soren* Cane-*appears above the three, now uncouncious on the ground - Cane's wearing a gas mask (inside, he's sucking on his pacifier)* Cane's so stupid! Forgot about the gas grenades.. ^.^ Junko-... Cane-*looks around* Aw.. Already out? That's no fun. >.< Some goblins crowd in on Ray, Soren and Junko..

Meanwhile,
Mint-*looks at Volke* Shut up!! *runs at Cho* Cho-... *gets in a defensive stance* ... Mint-... *suddenly vanishes and reappears behind Cho* Cho-!! *looks behind* ..!! Mint-*grabs Cho from behind, then jumps into the air* Cho-!! Aaagh! Mint-*flips Cho upside down, then grabs his legs and places her feet down on Cho's chin, wrapping her legs around him* Cho-!! Uagh!! Mint-Die!! The two of them falls straight down, crashing into the ground, creating an explosion of dirt and smoke. Kiyu-!! *looks at Cho* Cho!!

[Nova]

Ryou-*a group of goblins on the front line are hit and killed by the arrows but the others run over their bodies like nothing*Dammit I need someone to freaking help m----*hears explosion as dirt and dust shoot into the air and blind him*Geez I can see anything...which means they cant see me*starts shooting arrows. Arrow tips burst into flames, crackle with electricity, and harden with ice. This is the Tri Shot*

[Admiral44]

Volke-*suddenly appears in front of Kiyu* Hmhmhm.. Don't get distracted, oh great Okami. *suddenly multiple images of Volke appear around Kiyu* Lethality. *suddeny it becomes pitch black, and then a blood red crescent light appears where Kiyu is* ... Then, everything returns to normal and Volke is standing in front of Kiyu, with his eyes closed and his arms crossed, his knives pointing into the air, it looks like he did a critical attack* Good-bye. Suddenly, a small blast hits Kiyu, causing Kiyu to spiral into the air then crash into the ground. Cless-!!! Damnit! *dashes forward* Volke suddenly appears in front of Cless and knees him HARD in the stomach then elbows him in the back of the neck, knocking him out instantly. Volke-Sorry, but I'm finished playing around. *sighs and then sheathes his daggers* ... *looks around* I guess this village is done. Cane should've took care of the other Mystic Punks... But, should we kill them? Huh. Choices, choices. *looking around, noticing Ryou* ...You know that's pointless, right?

Meanwhile,
Clay-*notices Ken* ...At least you're alright. *looks forward, noticing the Goblin taking Taro* Damnit. Clarth-Clay-niisan! Use your speed and catch up with them and get Taro back! Clay-*rubs head* Good point. Alright, I'll-- *suddenly makes a surprised face* H-hey, get down! *pushes Clarth, Emeta, and Ken out of the way and suddenly it looks like a huge boulder crashes down on Clay* Clarth-*rolls backwards* Gah, gah, gah! >_< *stops rolling and notices the huge smoke* C-Clay-niisan! The smoke clears and it reveals Clay, having his sword drawn, holding back a man who is wearing exactly like Volke's, only his is blue. He has blue eyes and short dirty blonde hair. This is Eklov, Volke's shadow, basically. He's only seen when Volke has a huge mission and he needs another person to be split from him to help. This Eklov's job. Eklov is very mysterious and doesn't know much of his past, only that he will do anything for Volke. He will only take orders from Volke and no one else. Eklov got his name from Volke, who isn't very creative, so he just gave him Volke backwards. He's a martial artist and doesn't speak. He has inhuman strength. Clay-Well, well. If it isn't the guy with the dumbest @$$ name alive.. How've you been, Eklov? ^_^ Clarth-...Eklov? o_O'' Clay-*looks at Clarth* Yeah, Eklov-- Eklov-*lands on ground and roundhouse power kicks Clay, sending him flying into a tree* Clay-*coughs out some blood* Gagh!! Clarth-B-... Brother! >_< Clay-*lands on ground on knees* Ugh.. *looks up at Clarth, Emeta, and Ken* You kids! You need to get out of here! Go find Cia and STAY with her!! She'll protect you! Clarth-B-but.. We can't just.. >_<''

[Nova]

Ryou-*in a house nearby gulping down a drink* I wonder how my clone is holding out*finishes drink and throws the glass at the wall* Time to go check up on him*walks out and takes his bow out, from afar he see's his clone on the post and a group of people*What a mess...hmm?*notices Volke* His head should be worth a shiny penny. I could repay all my debts if I was to kill him*picks up a triangular piece of glass, rips off the arrow head of an arrow ad put the glass in its place*This should do it*shoots the glass tipped arrow heading dead on for Volke whom is turned around facing the clone*

[Magoseong]

(ooc: the clone thing was random and kinda pointless..)
Kiyu-!! Aah!! ... *body twitches* U-uh.. The dirt and smoke clears up, revealing Cho with his foot on down Mint's back, pinning her down to the ground and pulling her arms back. Mint-Aah..!! D-damn..! I messed up..?! H-how did you..?! Cho-... *releases Mint's arms and leaps back* Hah.. Mint-Augh! ... *slowly gets up, rubbing her arms and getting in stance* You..!! Ugh.. Cho-... *falls down on one knee, squinting his left eye* S-shoot.. Mint-!! ... Heh. You still got wounded, didn't you? Cho-... Mint-... *quickly runs at Cho* Alright, then let's try again! Cho-... An arrow flies past Mint's head. Mint-!! *suddenly stops and looks at the arrow* What?! *looks back* A group of Holy Circle soldiers in white armor runs out from the village, drawing out swords and taking out bows, taking aim. A woman with blonde hair and wearing a silver uniform appears in front of the soldiers. This is Cynthia, Cynthia Hearts. Mint-!! Holy Circle..?! Why are you here?! Cynthia-That doesn't matter.. *a glyph appears underneath her* Suddenly vivid green light fall from the sky, healing everyone's wounds (excluding the enemies). Mint-*looks around* !! Cynthia-It was conveninent for us to be here. Cho-C-Cynthia! Haha! Mint-Damnit..! Kiyu-... *slowly gets up* Uh.. I got careless.. Cynthia-... *looks at Mint and Volke* For Segma to have you and the entire Goblin army attacking.. He really is serious about getting revenge this time, isn't he? Mint-... Cynthia-... What a fool. Mint-!! W-what do you know b!tch?! *dashes at Cynthia, then swipes her fist* Cynthia-*simply jumps back, drawing out her sword* ... *swings her sword, creating a blue shockwave to head straight for Mint* Hmph.. Mint-!! *gets hit and slides back* Aaugh! *falls down* Ugh!

Meanwhile,
Emeta-W-wait, what about Taro?! Ken-Aagh! *quickly jumps up, then sprints toward Emeta and Clarth* Let's just get out of here!! >_< Suddenly a group of goblins on horses head straight for Emeta, Clarth and Ken. Ken-*notices the goblins* !! Wuah! Emeta-!! Ken-*sweatdrops fly off from his head* Run away!! *dashes away* Aaah!

[Admiral44]

Clarth-*notices the goblins* Ahh! *looks around and follows after Ken* W-wait up! >_< Clay-*looks at Emeta* Don't worry about Taro, I'll save him! I promise! Suddenly, Eklov appears in front of Clay and punches him. Clay-!! *rolls out of the way* Eklov-*punches through the tree, knocking it down* ... Clay-*looks at Emeta, while crawling away from Eklov* Uhh, yeeaahh.. Get out of here. ^_^''

Meanwhile,
Volke-*turns around, catching the arrow shot by Ryou* Tsk, tsk. How c0cky of you. To think that you could kill an assassin thinking like an assassin.. -_-'' *throws the arrow at the ground* ... *faces Cynthia and the other Knights and he claps hands together* Oho! Well, this is interesting! Segma must've not known about this.. The idiot. The Holy Circle being here.. I dunno if we'll win now. ^_^ *sighs* But, I'm just here because it's a job. A very high paying job. I'm loyal to no one. So.. *points at Mint* Don't put me and her in the same boat. She's actually loyal to Segma. I'm loyal to the gold he's paying me. ^_^ *wraps arms around head* I mean, if you guys were to go over what Segma's paying me.. Then I would switch to your side. But, then-- Cless-*appears behind Volke, his sword glowing* You talk to much. *short hops and upward slashes Volke then downward slashes him* Kogahazan! *shoulder rams Volke, then spins, causing a lion-shaped blast of Surge energy to come out and send Volke sliding back far* Volke-Grahh!! >_< Cless-*appears in front of Volke and upward slashes him again then slams him into the ground, pointing his sword at Volke's neck* ... Volke-Oww.. *looks up at Cless* Oho! Very good!... I was getting c0cky. Cless-... *looks at Cynthia* Ahh, Commander Cynthia. *looks embarrased* Umm.. S-sorry for running off like that on my own. I should've waited for assistance. It was brash of me. I apologize. ^_^'' Volke-... ... ... -_-''

[Magoseong]

Cynthia-*to Volke* I don't care if your not loyal to Segma and that your only doing this for money.. To be honest, anyone who's on Segma's side automatically becomes a fool like Segma themselves. Whether it's because of loyality or for money.. Mint-*looks up at Cynthia* Y-you..! Cynthia-*looks at Cless* Don't worry.. At least your not as reckless as Agavale. Mint-... *stands up and looks around* Agavale.. Where is Kliser? Cynthia-He and a couple others are holding off some of the monsters.. They could probably use your help there. We'll handle these two.. All the Holy Circle archers aim their bows at Mint and Volke. Mint-G-grr..! Kiyu-... *looks around* Cho-Wait.. Cynthia-san..! I-- Kiyu-*appears in front of Cho* Cho-?! Kiyu-Let's just go.. Cynthia's a powerful person.. Cho-...

Meanwhile,
Emeta-R-right!! >_<'' *runs after Ken and Clarth* Aaah! The goblins quickly catch up.. Ken-*looks back* Aagh! What are we doing!? They're on horses - we can't outrun em!! >_< Emeta-*looks around, then looks to the left* L-Let's go this way then! *turns left* Ken-! H-hey, wait a minute! >_< *runs after Emeta*

[Admiral44]

Clarth-*stumbles forward and is hopping on one leg due to the abruptness of turning* U-uuhhh.. o_O'' *quickly spins and then follows after Ken* >_< Clay-*smirks then his sword suddenly starts glowing and he faces Eklov* Alright, bring it on, ugly!

Meanwhile,
Cless-... Volke-Heh. A fool, am I? That's a real blunt, "soldier" way of thinking, eh? Gotta get by somehow.. Ah, well. Doesn't bother me any. Consdering, you guys are never gonna catch me. Cless-?! *looks down at Volke* What are you talking about, it's-- *notices that there's simply an outline of where Volke was now* ... ... ...Over... *vein pops out* B@$t@rd tricked me. He's slippery, I forgot. -_-'' *sheathes sword and shakes head* I'm getting sloppy and careless! *faces Cynthia* I'll go help out Kliser. *looks at Cho* You come, Cho! *suddenly runs off and to Ryou* You, too!

[Magoseong]

Cynthia-... Hah. Mint-H-hey! ... *sweatdrops* Damnit.. A lousy comrade! Why did Segma-sama recruit such a-- Cynthia-Stop mumbling. What are you going to do now? Mint-... *looks at Cynthia, then looks around* ... D-damnit.. Cho-... *follows Cless* R-right! Kiyu-*follows alongside Cho* ... Cynthia-... *walks toward Mint* Mint-... *raises her hands* This sucks.. Cho-*yells at Mint* Hey! Mint! Let's fight some other time! ^_^ Mint-...

Meanwhile,
Emeta-*looks around and suddenly stops* !! Ken-Huh?! *stops with Clarth* W-what?! o_O In front of them, there's a large group of uncouncious (or dead?) Holy Circle soldiers and goblins lying down on the floor. In the middle of the fallen bodies, Kliser is seen fighting a young girl in a green and dark crimson keikogi (with the Blood Lion symbol which is overlapped on top of a symbol). Her appearence is pretty much of that as a typical samurai's. She has black hair, which is long and tied in a ponytail. Much of her clevage is exposed (a fact which annoys Kliser.. and pleases Junko). She's wielding a kanata. This is Tomoe. As Cane is to Junko, as Mint is to Cho and as Volke is to Clay, Tomoe is Kliser's nemesis. Like Volke, Tomoe has no loyality to Segma and is only working for him for her own purposes and reasons. She is very mysterious. But she and Kliser seem to have some kind of relationship. Ken-H-hey! It's Kliser-san! ... Who's that woman? o_O Kliser-*swings his swords* Teh! Tomoe-*jumps back and leaps foward, slashing Kliser* Kliser-! *quickly blocks it with one sword* Grr..! *slashes Tomoe with his other sword* Seh! Tomoe-*tilts her body back, avoiding the slash, then bashes her foot against Kliser's knee* Kliser-!! *loses his balance* Woah! Tomoe-*gets back up, then pushes her sword, aiming for a stab for Kliser's head* Kliser-!! *pushes Tomoe back and walks back* Agh! Tomoe-*slides back* ... Kliser-... D-damnit. Tomoe-...

[Nova]

Ryou-Clever little*cut off by Cless* Ok I'll go *clone disappears above post and the real Ryou sheathes his bow and picks something peculiar from the floor and puts it in his bag* Thats a pretty nice souvenir*runs off after Cless*

[Admiral44]

Cless-(Hopefully Kliser hasn't done anything to overly reckless. ^_^'')

Meanwhile,
Clarth-Dunno. But, she doesn't look very friendly.. >_<'' *notices all the dead bodies and suddenly jumps back* Wah! H-how are so many people dead?! Suddenly, a hand appears on Clarth's head. Familiar Voice-Dunno. I guess that's how war works. Clarth-*looks up, noticing that the hand belongs to Idate* I... Idate-san? What are you doing here? Idate-Looking for you, punk. Why aren't you hiding with the other women and children?... -_- Clarth-Umm.. Uhh. Idate-Cia was worried about you, so I had to come find you kids. Sheesh. Do you know how many uglies I had to avoid?! -_-'' Clarth-*sweatdrops* ... Idate-Anyways. *looks at Kliser* Looks like Kliser's having a bit of trouble... All though, it kinda looks like he's holding back some. Don't you agree? Clarth-*shrugs* I dunno. I... Guess. That's what a gentlemen's supposed to do, ain't it? Idate-*sweatdrops* Never mind. *notices something* Hmm? Wait.. Wasn't there four of you? o_O

[Magoseong]

Emeta-Are you talking about Taro? He-- Kliser-Aaugh!! Kliser is seen flying straight at Idate, Emeta, Clarth and Ken. Emeta-!! Kliser-*quickly recovers with a backflip and lands safely on his feet, landing in front of everyone* ... Tomoe-*walks toward Kliser* ... Kliser-... T-Tomoe.. ... *places his swords together, forming a cross* ... Emeta-K-Kliser..! Ken-Hey, hey! Are you letting this hag throw you around, Kliser!! Show that guy's are better then girls!! Emeta-... ... ... *smoke comes out of her head* Kliser-*looks back and notices everyone* Y-you? What are you doing here?! Emeta-!! L-Look out!! Kliser-!! *looks foward* Ouh! Tomoe-*thrusts her sword foward* Kliser-S-shoot! *steps to the side, Tomoe ends up cutting Kliser's left arm* !! Agh! Tomoe-*continues heading foward - the sword heads for Emeta* Emeta-!! Kliser-!! *grabs Tomoe's arm and pushes her aside* Stop!! Tomoe-!! *pulls her arm back, then thrusts her sword again, stabbing through Kliser's stomach* Kliser-!! U-ugah! Tomoe-...!!! *pulls her sword out quickly* Kliser-*drops one of his sword, then walks back* Agh..! *holds his wound, with blood dripping down from his mouth* ... Emeta-K-Kliser-san!! Ken-C-Crap!! Kliser-... Tomoe-... *walks back* Kl.. Kliser.. Kliser-... *falls down on one knee* S-sh!t..! *coughs* Tomoe-... *stops walking back* ... *starts walking foward, rising her sword into the air* Kliser-Ghagh! *looks up at Tomoe* ... Hah.. Ugh..! Tomoe-... Kliser-... ... ... D-damn. Ken-D-don't just watch!! *looks at Idate* Perverted old man!! Do something!!

[Admiral44]

Idate-*staring at Tomoe's chest, not paying attention to anything else* Now, showing that much clevage is just wrong... *licks lips* I like wrong. ^_^ Clarth-I-Idate-san! >_< *kicks him in the shin* Idate-Oww! *hops up and down, holding his shin* What?! Clarth-Stop being perverted for a sec and help out Kliser-san! Idate-*stops hopping and notices Tomoe and then Kliser* Oh.. Right! *jumps forward, standing in front of Kliser and draws out his cutlass in his left hand, holding it in reverse style and his rapier in his right hand, they are light blue* S-sorry about this, babe. ^_^'' *pulls back and then swipes both of them forward, together, causing a huge shockwae to fly at Tomoe* ... *looks at Emeta, Clarth, and Ken, looking somewhat serious* You kids take care of Kliser! *dashes at Tomoe, returning his weapons to their positions* ...

[Magoseong]

Emeta-R-right..! *runs toward Kliser, then helps him up* K-Kliser..! Are you alright..?! Kliser-... Suddenly the goblins on horses caught up to Emeta, Clarth and Ken. One of the grabs both Ken and Clarth by their shirts. Ken-!! Wuaah!! Emeta-!! *looks back* Ken!! Clarth!! One goblin grabs Emeta by the hair.. Emeta-!! Yaaah!! Ow, ow, ow!! S-Stop!! It hurts!! Goblin 1-... *snorts* Heh heh! Kliser-!! *looks back* Agh! *slowly gets up* W-wait..! Goblin 2-*bashes Kliser on the head with a club* Grah! Kliser-Ugh! ... *collaspes to the ground* ... Tomoe-! *jumps back and swings her sword, deflecting the shockwave back at Idate* ... The goblins flee away.. Emeta-Yaaaah!! Ken-*struggles* Grr!! Put me down!! I'm gunna kick your sorry butt!! >_<

[Admiral44]

Clarth-*crosses arms, looking annoyed, surprisingly not struggling* Dangit... I knew I should've stayed home today. T_T Idate-*looks back, noticing them* H-hey! Uglies, get back-- *looks forward and notices the shockwave heading back at him* !! Damn! *holds both his rapier and cutlass in front of him, blocking the shockwave* G-grr!! *swings up, causing the shockwave to fly into the sky* D-damn.. Waaay to close for my taste. o_o'' *looks back again* Damnit.. There's no way I can save them. I'm not that fast.. *looks forward at Tomoe* But.. Grr, where the hell is Clay when you need him?!

Meanwhile,
Clay is running down a path... Clay-Ahhh!! T_T Eklov is chasing after Clay, throwing huge boulders at him. Clay-*is looking back while running, barely dodging the boulders in multiple ways* Damnit! I think Volke needs to call you home! >_<

Meanwhile, back..
Idate-*sweatdrops and is no longer paying ANY attention* Oh, wait.. It doesn't matter. It's Kas's day today.. I had forgot. -_-'' *starts to mumble to self* ...

[Magoseong]

A spark hits Idate. Tomoe-*suddenly appears behind Idate* ... *sheathes her sword, which causes a critical blow that knocks out Idate* ... *looks at Kliser, then at Idate* ... Tomoe, along with Kliser and Idate suddenly vanishes.

Meanwhile,
Cho-*looks around, looking troubled* Kiyu-*notices Cho* What's wrong? Cho-Uhm.. Well, it's just that-- Suddenly the goblin carrying Taro dashes straight for everyone. Cho-!! *stops* W-what the?! The goblin raises Taro into the air, laughing out loudly. Cho-!! T-Taro!! The goblins carrying Emeta, Clarth and Ken eventually show up afterwards, following the goblin carrying Taro. Cho-!! Emeta-Help!!! Cho-Damnit!! The goblins all charge at everyone full throttle, speeding incredibly fast. Cho-!! Wuagh! *quickly rolls out of the way* Kiyu-!! *leaps out of the way* The goblins continue speeding.. Eventually everyone loses sight of them. Cho-... *gets up and looks at the direction of where the goblins headed* T-Taro!! Emeta!! Damn!!

[Nova]

Ryou-*gets out of the way of one goblin but places something on one of their legs*That should tell me which one deserves an ass kicking later*watches as the goblins speed away*Shouldnt we go after them instead of just sitting there?

[Admiral44]

Cless-*had lept out of the way and he looks at Ryou* We could... *tsk* But, none of us can outrun a horse, so it'd be pointless. We've already lost them... And I only know a few people who can outrun one and-- Clay's voice-Grah! Stop chasing me!! Is it really that serious?! T_T Cless-...Eh? o_O *looks around, noticing Clay on a nearby road, getting chased by Eklov, now throwing trees at him* ... *sweatdrops* Clay-*quickly dives forward, barely dodging a tree* Ugh! Eklov-*stops running and looks around* ... *quickly runs towards a small shed and is starting to pick it up* Clay-*notices him* H-holy crap.. T_T *stands up and looks around frantically, noticing Cho, Cless, Ryou, and Kiyu* Huh?... Wait! Back-up! T_T *suddenly disappears and reappears in front of them* Guys! >_< Cless-C-... Clay. What are you doing? Clay-I'm getting chased by a guy that has the same amount of strength of my speed! >_< Cless-*multiple sweatdrops* That's ridiculous... o_O'' Then, Suddenly, Eklov stops, turns around and glares at Clay. Clay-*jumps up* Ack! >_< Eklov then suddenly bows and disappears. Clay-... ... ...S-safe. T_T Cless-Clay, I have a question... If he was chasing you, why didn't you just use your abnormal speed to get away? o_O Clay-... ... ... *rubs back of head* Oh, yeeeah.. ^_^'' Cless-*falls down* Guh.. ^_^'' Clay-I don't think straight in life-or-death situations like that, when I'm on my own. ^_^''

[Magoseong]

Kiyu-... *in a dissapointed and annoyed tone* But, that's common logic Clay. Cho-*to Cless* Kiyu's fast! She's probably one of the fastest spirits I know! *looks at Kiyu and runs toward her* Hey! Kiyu! Let's get them! Kiyu-... *lowers head head* Suddenly Kiyu transforms into a large, monsterous and vicious looking wolf (before, she looked harmless, calm and gentle). Cho-*jumps up and lands on top of Kiyu, grabbing her fur* Eh..! ... *looks around* Well! You guys should get on! Kiyu-*vein pops out* Wait.. I'm not comfortable with letting others getting on. Having just you is embarassing.. Cho-Shut up! This is an emergency!! Taro and the others are in trouble!! Kiyu-... Sorry. *looks around, looking somewhat intimidating* Get on. Suddenly, an explosion occurs. Cho-?! *looks back* W-what the?! A tall young man with medium brown hair, wearing clothing similar to Cho's, except their blue instead of red, holding a single edged sword in his right and a regular sword in his left (he's not using it) is attacking a group of goblins. This is Reo. Reo-Teh! *swings his right sword, knocking down five goblins at once* A woman with long dark brown hair, purple robes and wearing round glasses is currently chanting. This is Aoi, Junko's sister. Aoi-... *points her hand at Reo* Sharpness! Reo's body starts glowing red. Reo-Seiyaaah!! *performs a spin slash that knocks down ten goblins in total* Cho-R-Reo!! Reo-*starts walking back* Damn.. *coughs horribly* ... Ugh! Aoi-*starts chanting again* First Aid.. Light surrounds Reo.. It doesn't seem to be doing anything. Reo-... F-Forget it, Aoi! It won't work! I just gotta endure it.. Ugh.. Aoi-Reo-san.. ... Reo-... Damnit. This illness is p!ssing me off. If I was well, I could easily handle all these guys by myself.. A large number of goblins start walking towards Aoi and Reo. Aoi and Reo are approaching closer to Cho and everyone. Cho-They're in trouble! Damnit! *climbs down* Wait a minute.. *looks at the direction of where the goblins that took Clarth, Ken, Taro and Emeta and looks back at Reo and Aoi* ... Agh! Wait! Damnit.. This is.. ... What should I do?

[Nova]

Ryou-*at Cho* Go with this fast guy over here and chase them down. Me and Cless can help these guys!

[Admiral44]

Clay-*looks at Cho, while pointing at Ryou* Dude's got a point. They're capable... *looks at Ryou* Wait.. Who are you? o_O *looks at Cless* And where am I going? o_O'' Cless-To save your brother. Clay-?! You mean Clarth?! *looks at the direction Cho looked at earlier* Damnit, uglies took my little brother! That's uncool! >_< *looks at Cho* We gotta go, now! >_< Cless-*suddenly draws his sword and dashes at the Goblins* Yeah! You two go ahead, we'll handle it! Clay-'Right! *looks at Cho* Come on, you gotta lead the way! >_<

[Nova]

Ryou-*at Clay* You'll be finding out who I am after...now go save your brother*unsheathes bow and breaks it into dual katanas* For now we fight *runs into the hordes of goblins hacking and slashing*

[Magoseong]

Cho-... But.. Aoi-!! Reo!! Reo suddenly flies back. Reo-Aaugh!! *crashes down and rolls around on the ground, stopping in front of everyone* Agh! Cho-!! *gets down and runs toward Reo* Reo!! Reo-... Cho-*kneels down beside him and shakes him* Reo!! Reo!! Are you alright?! Reo-... *a trail of blood drips down from his mouth* D-damnit.. *opens his eyes, then notices* C-Cho..? Aoi-!! Aaugh! *flies back and crashes on the ground, in front of Reo and Cho* Cho-!! Aah! Aoi-... U-uh.. A large goblin, wielding a giant spiked ball with a chain attached to it. He's swing it around wildly.. Giant Goblin-Heh heh heh!! Reo-... H-heh.. What nerve.. It was starting to get quiet around here too.. Why'd these guys have to ruin it..? Ugh.. *passes out* Cho-... R-Reo! Hey! Are you okay?! Wake up! Reo-... Cho-Reo!! Kiyu-*appears behind Cho* Knock it off. Reo's just uncouncious.. Leave these goblins to Cless and that other human. Let's worry about those children! Cho-... *puts Reo down, then takes his sword (the one in his left hand) and gets up* ... *looks at Aoi and notices something* Uh? ... *walks toward her, and rolls her over* Aoi-Ah..! *gets up* What the..?! Ow, ow, ow.. *looks at Cho* H-huh? Cho? Cho-... *takes a bow and quiver off of Aoi's back* Aoi-?! Hey! Cho-These are your brother's right? I'm going to borrow them.. Aoi-... Wait a minute! *notices Reo* O-Oh, Reo! Cho-*looks at Cless, talking to him and Ryou* Take care of Reo and Aoi-san! *jumps up and lands on top of Kiyu* Kiyu-... *turns around and faces the direction of where the goblins that kidnapped Clarth, Ken, Taro and Emeta* ... Cho-*looks at Clay* Okay.. ... *looks foward* Let's go!! Kiyu-*leaps foward and dashes off, with Clay following* Giant Goblin-*continues swings his weapon around and looks at Cless and Ryou* Heh heh heh!! Aaagh!!

Off in the distance..
Cho-Damnit! Segma's going too far this time! Kiyu-It seems he's actually being "serious" about his revenge. Cho-... Suddenly barrages of flaming arrows fly at Kiyu and Clay.. Kiyu-!! *quickly leaps to the left* A couple of goblins on horses appear beside Clay and Kiyu, aiming at them with flaming arrows.. Up ahead, the goblin kidnappers can be seen. Cho-Agh! *notices the goblins up ahead* !! Taro!! Taro-...?! *looks back* Cho-niisan!!! Cho-Damnit! *wields Reo's sword and swings it, knocking down the goblin beside Kiyu* Get out of here! >_< Goblin Rider 1-!! Wuaaagh!! *falls off and rolls continously on the ground* Ooh, ah, ow!! The horse runs away..

[Nova]

Ryou-*finishes slashing through a group of goblins and turns to the bigger goblin* Dammit we got to take him and take care of them. We're just gonna have to keep our eyes open*gets into fighting stance and glares at the big goblin*come and get me!

[Admiral44]

Cless-*slashes a few Goblins then looks up and notices the Giant Goblin* ... ... ... *sweatdrops* Damnit. I've been complaining that my job's been to simple, but now.. This is just ridiculous. T_T *shakes head and then gets in stance, deciding to go simple* Majinken! *swings sword, causing a simple shockwave to head at the Giant Goblin* ...

Meanwhile,
Clay-... *suddenly disappears and reappears, sitting on the other horse, having his back leaning on the goblin* Yeah. I'm taking your horse, buddy. ^_^ *suddenly backhands the Goblin off the horse and seizes the horse by the reins* Whoo.. Alright. My feet were starting to hurt a bit, too.. *draws out Vague Katti, while grabbing the reins with his left hand, the horse is galloping beside Kiyu* ...Let's go get those ugly b@$t@rds. -_-''

[Magoseong]

The remaining goblins beside Clay and Cho shoot flaming arrows at them. Cho-Teh! *swings Reo's sword, slashing the arrows apart* Eh! *puts away Reo's sword, then takes out Junko's bow and arrows* ... *aims at one goblin and shoots an arrow* Goblin Rider 2-!! *gets hit in the head* Aaugh!! ... *slides off his horse and crashes into the ground, with the horse running away* Cho-*takes out another arrow and aims at another goblin and shoots again* Kiyu! Go faster!! Kiyu starts sprinting faster and faster..

Meanwhile,
Giant Goblin-*gets hit by the shockwave, but it doesn't look like it did anything* ... Heh heh. *tosses the spiked ball at Cless* Braagh!!

[Nova]

Ryou-(good it's distracted with him so it's my turn. I got to go for it's legs, try to trip it)Entanglement!*holds sword in a stance which causes nearby tree roots to come out of the ground and surround the big goblin*

[Admiral44]

Cless-*notices the spiked-ball and sweatdrops* Gah! *quickly rolls out of the way* G-geez.. >_<''

Meanwhile,
Clay-*guides the horse out of the way of some arrows* Damn! *smacks the horse, making it speed up a bit and notices Cho* H-hey, where'd you get those?! I need a projectile-type weapon of some sort! >_<

[Magoseong]

Cho-*looks at Clay* I didn't know you were capable of using ranged weapons.. o_O'' *takes out another arrow* But, don't worry about this! *shoots another goblin* Goblin Rider 2-!! *ducks down, dodging the arrow - his horse slows down in the progress* Waah!! Cho-I'll take care of these goblins! *takes out another arrow* Just catch up to the-- *shakes his head* Wait a second!! *stares at Clay* What are you doing, riding a horse?!! >_< I thought you were super fast on your own feet!!

Meanwhile,
Giant Goblin-... *looks around* ... *grabs some of the tree roots and rips them out from the ground* Braaaghh!! *pulls the spiked ball, then swings it and tosses it at Ryou* Aaagh!!

[Admiral44]

Cless-*notices* ! *quickly dashes at the Giant Goblin and upward slashes him then downward slashes him* Kogahazan!

Meanwhile,
Clay-*looks at Cho* Shut it! My feet get tired, too! I'm not a machine! >_< *looks forward* And I don't know how to use one... But, it's better then nothing. Besides, I don't like someone else doing all the work.. >_>''

[Magoseong]

Cho-Your already tired from running?! I thought you could run for hours without tiring out! o_O Kiyu-... Your confusing him with yourself, Cho. Cho-*sweatdrops* O-oh.. Yeah.. Damnit! I wish I had Clay's speed.. It would work well with my stamina. Suddenly, all the goblin riders surround Cho and Clay, getting closer towards them.. Kiyu-*looks around* Pay attention! Cho-A-ah! *looks around* !! Goblin Rider 1-*swings a mace, knocking Cho's head* Heh heh!! Cho-*tilts foward and grabs the goblin's arm* Goblin Rider 1-!! Cho-*pulls him, causing him to fall off the horse* Teh! *let's go afterwards* Goblin Rider 1-Wuaaagh!! *crashes into the ground* Ugh!! Goblin Rider 2-*appears beside Clay* Heh heh! *lifts his mace up, then swings it at Clay* Goblin Rider 3-*appears on the other side of Clay* Heh! *aims a flaming arrow at Clay's horse and shoots* Cho-*looks back at Clay* Clay!!

Meanwhile,
Giant Goblin-*gets pushed back, with only a simple scratch appearing on his body* ... *looks down at Cless, smiling* Heh heh.. *lifts his foot up and slams it down on top of Cless*

[Nova]

Ryou-*rolls out of the way of the ball*(dammit we need to do something quick)*at cless* The only way to get him down would be to work together, you know mix our attacks together.

[Admiral44]

Cless-*barely jumping out of the way of Giant Goblin's foot* Ngh! *rolls and gets back up on feet, getting in a defensive stance and to Ryou* Yeah.. I know. *is quickly trying to think* ...

Meanwhile,
Clay-*was looking at Cho the whole time, not paying attention* Oh, shut up! I can only do so much when I first wake up, so-- *gets hit by the Goblin with mace, in the head* Gugh. @_@ *falls off horse, almost getting trampled by it after it got hit by the flaming arrow and he rolls far* Gah, ugh, oof! @_@

[Magoseong]

Cho-Aah!! Damn! Clay! Kiyu! Go back! Kiyu-*slides her feet hard against the ground, then turns around - heading towards Clay* Hah! Cho-*holds and places Reo's sword and Junko's bow on Kiyu's head, keeping them in place* Eh.. *slowly leans to the left and extends his left arm out far, reaching out for Clay* Ah! *quickly grabs Clay once Kiyu passes by, pulling him up slowly* Gotcha! Several goblins surround Cho and Kiyu. Cho-*looks around, then bites Junko's bow* Damnit..!! I had enough of this! >_< *holds Junko's bow with his mouth, then holding Reo's sword in his right hand, he wraps his right arm around his neck - preparing for a spinning sprial slash* Kiyu-*makes a slow turn and continues chasing down the goblins that took the kids* Cho-Eat this!! *swings Reo's sword, emitting a short-ranged shockwave ring that manages to hit all the goblins, since they within range* Kuuha Jitenzan!! Goblin Riders-!! Waaagh!! *all falls off their horses and crashes into the ground, rolling behind* Aaagh!! X_X Cho-... Hah.. -_-'' *accidentally loses balance due to Clay's weight* Wuaah!! o_O *quickly pulls Clay up* C-Clay!! Hurry up and get on! >_<''

Meanwhile,
Giant Goblin-... *stays completely still, as if he's waiting for something* ...

[Admiral44]

Cless-! *smirks* Got it. *looks at Ryou* We gotta use speed... We gotta confuse him somehow.

Meanwhile,
Clay-Wuaah.. @_@ Then, suddenly, Kas's voice can be heard. Kas's Voice-Oyy!! Dumb@$$!! WE ARE GOING to DIE! Get UP!! NOW!! >_< Clay-*suddenly shakes his head and looks around* Wuh-huh? -_-'' *looks around, noticing what's happening* !! Ack! *suddenly gets on Kiyu, holding on tight* I forgot that I hate riding horses.. >_<''

[Magoseong]

Cho-*releases Clay, then holds onto Kiyu tightly* You forgot alot of things Clay.. >_< *looks foward* Kiyu!! Go faster!! Kiyu charges foward fast. Cho-Eh!

Eventually, the three of them end up at a long stone bridge.
The goblin kidnappers continue heading foward and stops at the very end of the bridge.. Cho-There they are!! Hurry, let's-- Suddenly a force knocks Cho and Clay off of Kiyu. Kiyu gets electrocuted. Kiyu-!! Aah!! Cho-!! *falls foward and crashes on the ground with Clay* Ugh!! ... *slowly gets up and looks behind* K-Kiyu!! Kiyu-D-Damn..! This..?! Ah..!! Kiyu suddenly explodes into a firey white explosion. Cho-!! Agh! *covers his face from the explosion* ... Kiyu transforms into a small floating fireball that hovers toward Cho. Cho-! *reaches out for the fireball, trying to grasp his hand on it* Kiyu..? The fireball appears beside Cho's head.. Kiyu-... Sorry. I've reached my limit. Cho-?.. O-oh.. *gets up* Crap.. Segma's voice-Well, look what we have here!!! Cho-?! *looks around* Segma suddenly appears out of nowhere, approaching Clay and Cho. Segma-Hahaha!! The two meddlin kids that I recall who caused the most trouble to me in the past! Cho and.. *looks at Clay* ... Kas!! Or.. Wait.. Is it Clay? Are you Clay? Or are you Kas? o_O ... *shakes his head* Never mind! No one cares! Cho-Segma! Segma-That's King Segma to you, boy!! Cho-... It's been a while since we last met, hasn't it? What's it been.. Like.. Two years? Segma-... *rubs the back of his neck* Yes. It has been a long time. But unfortunately, I don't plan on having a heart-warming reunion here! I plan on destorying you and your village!! Buhahahaha!!! Cho-... *sweatdrops* Okay. Segma-?! ... W-what DO YOU MEAN OKAY?!! Be scared!! Be surprised!! Act dramatic or something!! Cho-... This isn't the first time you tried destorying us and our village. Segma-... ... ... *snaps his fingers* The goblin kidnappers then appear beside Segma. Taro-C-Cho-niisan!! Cho-Ngh.. But, this is the first time you kidnapped kids and used them as hostages. Ken-Put me down!! Argh!! Just wait!! Those two will kick all of your sorry butts! Cho-Segma! Let them go! Involving these guys in your plans is plain cheap! Segma-... Teh. -_- *stomps his foot down on the ground* ... Cho-?.. Suddenly a large mecha robot falls down from the sky, crashing in front of Segma. There's a capsule located on the mecha - inside lays Junko, Ray, Kliser, Soren and Idate. Cho-!! Segma-*in a very abnormal calm tone* This is my latest creation. I lacked an actual power source, so I had to use the alternative. The life energy from these five who my "loyal" followers managed to kidnapped for me gracefully.. I saw an opportunity and used them for the main power source. I'll have to say, it works wonders actually - better then I anticipated. ^_^ Cho-S-Segma..!! You!! Segma-... *turns around and looks at the goblins* The goblins get off their horses and bring Segma Clarth, Ken, Taro and Emeta. Segma-*carries all four of them then jumps up and lands on the mecha's head* Unlike my previous inventions, this one lacks a name.. However, I don't really care about naming this machine. Because it only has one purpose. Cho-... Segma-... To dispose the Mystic warriors and their village. *opens a hatch located on the mecha's head and gets inside* Taro, Ken, Clarth and Emeta then appear in the Mecha's capsule. Taro-Aagh!! Ken-Oof! >_< Emeta-Aah!! The mecha starts glowing green and stands up straight.. Immense energy emits from the mecha's body. Goblins-!! *all slowly walk back* ... *eventually they cower and run away* Cho-!! *gets pushed back* Agh!! Suddenly, a sheet of absolute darkness covers Cho and Clay - isolating them in a strange dimension. Segma's voice-... I was a bit foolish back in the day. I was always humilated by you guys. It was annoying.. Cho-*looks around, panicking a bit* ..?!! Segma's voice-... Scared, right? Your wondering what I just did here. Cho-... *looks at the mecha* W-what..? Where are we.. ? Segma's voice-This invention of mine is able to create a small parallel dimension. Even I'm unsure of where exaxtly this place is. I call it "Purgatory". But I think it's more appropriate to label this area as your grave. Cho-... Segma's voice-... I put my entire sweat and blood on this piece of trash. I spent two years trying to plan out my revenge on you, the Mystic Warriors, the Holy Circle and all the other goody-two shoes that driven me insane! There's no way that I'm going to lose this time. Cho-S-Segma.. Segma's voice-... This is the end for you two and your friends! Cho-... *looks at Clay* Come on Clay! Get up!

[Admiral44]

Clay-*suddenly jumps up and draws out Vague Katti and gets in stance* Ehh.. I guess you're serious this time around, huh? Hmm. Ah, well.. Doesn't matter. *vein pops out* And stop mistaking me and Kas! Kas is tall and lanky and not as good looking as me! And his hair is green! And his eyes glow yellow when he's mad, not green! >_< Clarth-Ngh.. Gargh! *squinches one eye closed and looks at Clay* Cl-... Clay-niisan!! Clay-And you did one wrong thing.. You kidnapped my little brother. *smirks, but multiple veins pop out* I respect your "passion", but that p!$$es me off more then anything... *his sword starts to glow green and so does his eyes* So, I'mma destory your best "invention" and save him. Alright?

[Nova]

Ryou-Ya speed is a must*thinks of something* Hey can you add a little something to my boomerang move, something to give it more of an umph

[Magoseong]

Giant Goblin-... *yawns out loudly* ...

Meanwhile,
Segma's voice-Well.. What are you waiting for then?! Go for it! Let's see if you can even inflict any damage!! Buhahaha!! Cho-*gets in a defensive stance* Something's not right.. *looks around, then looks at Clay* Hey, Clay.. Segma's voice-What are you doing?! Stop talkin to each other and fight! Come on! I'm right here! If you play around.. The capsule starts glowing blue - everyone inside gets electrocuted. Taro-!! Aaaagh!! Emeta-Aaah!! Ken-Owaah!! Cho-!! Segma!! Stop!! Segma's voice-... I'm going to kill these guys.

[Admiral44]

Clay-*points sword at Segma in the machine* You're such a coward, it makes me sick!! *suddenly appears on top of Segma's machine and is slashing the top, trying to get inside* Open up, so I can kick your old @$$! >_<'

Meanwhile,
Cless-*looks at Ryou* I got a better plan. *suddenly appears behind the Giant Goblin* Aim at it's head! *starts slashing the Giant Goblin repeatedly*

[Magoseong]

Giant Goblin-*looks back, looking down at Cless* ?.. *turns around, having it's back facing towards Ryou* Huh..

Meanwhile,
Segma's machine vanishes. Cho-?! ... *looks around* Segma's voice-Hahahaha! What's wrong? Suddenly blood starts dripping down from the sky. Millions of faces surround Cho and Clay - the face is crooked, distorted and cannot be identified. At times, the face Cho-..!! T-This..?! Segma's voice-Feeling nostalgic Cho? I know that you experienced a similar horror to this.. Cho-... Segma's voice-Traumatic, isn't it? Cho-S-Segma.. A powerful force hits Cho and Clay, draining away an enormous ammount of vitality from them both. Cho-!! Aaugh! *crashes into the ground* Ugh! Segma's voice-Hahahaha!! What's wrong? I didn't even do anything! Come on! You can do better! Cho-... *slowly gets up, coughing out blood* Ugh! Segma's voice-You guys always defeated me! Surely you can do it again! Come on! Come on!! What's the matter?! Cho-...

[Nova]

Ryou-Alright*puts katanas back together to form bow*This'll hurt*starts shooting multiple arrows quickly at the head of the goblin*

[Admiral44]

Cless-*notices Ryou and smirks* Heh. *quickly jumps back and starts swinging sword, sending multiple shockwaves at the Giant Goblin* Majinken!

Meanwhile,
Clay-*on one knee, and coughs out some blood* Oww.. *stands up* (Cheapass.. -_-) *looks around at the faces and sweatdrops* ... ... ...This is creepy. T_T

[Magoseong]

An invisible destructive force strikes Cho and Clay, badly wounding them. Cho-!! Aaugh! *falls down, puking out alot of blood* Ugh! Segma's voice-Ahahaha!! *to Clay* What was that you said before? Destory my best invention? Heh heh! Another destructive force strikes Cho and Clay, causing them to suffer from asthma. Cho-..!! *starts sweating, struggling to breathe* Hah.. Hah..! Segma's voice-Buhahaha!! This is even better then I imagined! Cho-... *slowly gets up, holding his neck* ... Segma's voice-Haha.. So persistent. Another destructive force strikes Cho and Clay, causing their bodies to go completely numb. Cho-!! *collaspes, dropping his weapons* Aaugh! ... Segma's voice-Hahaha!! This is too easy.. Cho-... ... ... Segma's voice-Come on! Are you just going to stay there and die? Cho-... Faint light surrounds Clay and Cho. The numb effect wears off. Cho-U-ugh.. *gets up slowly* The machine suddenly appears in front of Cho and Clay. Segma's voice-Come on! I'm right here!! Cho-... *picks up Reo's sword, panting* Hah hah.. S-Segma..!! Segma's voice-Ahahaha!!

Meanwhile,
Giant Goblin-*gets hit by both attacks* ... *shakes his head, looking somewhat annoyed* Grr.. *jumps up and slams back down on the ground, causing an earthquake*

[Nova]

Ryou-*had jumped up and grabed on to a nearby pole*Geez..this thing wont hold*ties a string to the pole, pulls out a large arrows and shoots it at the chest of the goblin* Timber!!! *jumps off the pole as it falls down towards the goblin
*

[Admiral44]

Cless-!! *falls down due to the earthquake, vulnerable* Gah! >_< *notices Ryou* W-whoa!! T_T *quickly rolls away from the Giant Goblin, but is still effected by the earthquake* Gagh, gah!

Meanwhile,
Clay-*has his eyes closed, currently passed out* ...Ngh... Gah. *suddenly sits up and vein pops out, with smoke coming out of head* Hey, knock it off! This is already the second time I've been unconscious in the last hour! One more time, and I'm done!!! Already! >_< *stands up and coughs, suddenly falling back down on one knee* Gah! W-... No! Gugh.. *closes one eye and looks at Segma's machine, his vision getting blurry* Damnit! I seriously can't believe you built that! Someone gave it to you or something.. *suddenly appears in front of Segma's Machine and tries to thrust it with all his might, but can only make a *DINK* sound* I-... I can't. *drops his Vague Katti and it suddenly becomes rusted* Ugh.. I'm losing it. I dunno what it is, but something about this place.. I-is draining me. *falls down, losing consciousness again (?)* I apologize... ... ... ...

[Magoseong]

Cho-C-Clay..!! Wait..! Another destructive blow hits Cho and Clay. Cho-!! Aaugh! *flies back and crashes on the ground down on his back* ... Segma's voice-Hahaha.. There's nothing you can do here in this Purgatory!! It's futile!! Looks like I win this time! Cho-U-uh.. D-damnit..! Mysterious voice-Your too naive Segma. Segma's voice-..?! W-wha?! A sound of metal getting pounded is heard. Suddenly the machine brightens up.. Segma's voice-..!! WHAT?!! NO!! Aaagh!! The machine emits several linear rays of light.. Shortly after, the rays of light blind everyone momentarily. The machine erupts into an odd explosion of radiance that reaches as far that it covers the entire Mystic Village as well..

Meanwhile, in the Mystic Village..
Giant Goblin-*looks at Ryou* ... ... ... Suddenly the explosion hits everyone. Giant Goblin-?!! Uaaagh!!

Meanwhile..
Segma's machine is seen completely destoryed. Segma is laying down in front of the wrecked machine, all beat up. Everyone who was concealed within the capsule container is now freed and laying down unconscious in front of Cho and Clay. Cho-... N-ngh.. *slowly gets up, coughing* Ugh.. What the.. *notices everyone lying down in front of him and Clay* ... Huh? *looks around and notices Segma* S-Segma..?! Segma-Uuhh.. @_@ Cho-... *stands up* What.. What happened? ????-Cho.. Cho-?! *looks around* A shady figure in blue cloak is standing behind Cho and Clay. He's wearing a straw hat and wielding an enormous sword (it's practically bigger then him.) ????-It's been a while. Cho-!! *turns around* ... !! ????-... *looks at Cho - his face is completely shrouded in darkness - only things that are visible are his eyes which glow a bright yellow* Cho-... Y-You..! *backs away slowly* ????-... Cho-Adaki..!! Adaki-...

[Admiral44]

Clay-*is now really knocked out* Ngh.. Gugh. @_@ *suddenly grows bright and then, after it stops, it reveals a young man that has long (braided) green hair in a ponytail, wearing the blue/green version of Ray's outfit, he is wearing a wristband on his right hand and fingerless gloves on his left (opposite of Clay), he is also wearing a headband with the Mystic Village symbol on it.. This is Kas. Kas-*gets up slowly, looking around* H-huh? How'd I get here, on this bridge?.. T_T *notices everyone in front of him* Ehh? o_O'' Clay-niisan must've... Gotten in a horrible condition if I'm back already. o_O *notices Segma and sweatdrops* Ahh.. Makes sense. *stands up completely, while brushing self off, and turns around, noticing Adaki* Huh?... Hey, you look very, very familiar. Aren't you that guy on all the wanted posters? O_o *crosses arms, trying to think* Yeah.. That guy Onii-chan is after, yeah.. It's like.. Odiki, right? o_O *notices Cho* Cho-san--! *notices Cho's expression and his expression becomes serious* So, I'm right. *looks at Adaki* What are you doing here? *suddenly becomes childish again* Better yet.. What am I doing here? o_O

[Magoseong]

Adaki-... *turns around, having his back facing towards Kas and Cho* Cho-Adaki! *walks toward him* Wait! Where are you-- Adaki-*holds his sword tightly, then turns around, swinging his sword that creates a piercing missile projectile to flies straight at Cho - piercing him* Cho-!! Aagh!! *slides back, coughing* ... W-what..?! *shakes his head and stares at Adaki* A-Adaki..! Adaki-... *places his sword against the ground* I'm here.. *looks up at Cho and Kas, with his eyes turning blood red - his voice becomes demonic* To kill all of you. Cho-?!! Adaki-You and everyone else will become a nuisance to my goal. *lightning starts coming out from his body* I refuse to let anyone get in my way. Cho-Adaki?! Wait!! Adaki-Die.. *swings his sword* Cho-!!!

((ooc:I'm lost, what happened to Cless and Ryou?))

[Admiral44]

(ooc: They blew up.. Lol, jp. I guess they're out for the moment, I really dunno.)

Kas-*quickly jumps back, picking up Clay's sword in the process, yet it is rusted, and he sheathes it and draws out Mo Jao (Kas's Blade) in left hand (Clay-Kas Opposite) and gets in stance* Kas-Well.. I'm not just gonna sit here and let you kill us. I'm not gonna hold back on you, now... Or, anyone that comes at me with intentions to hurt me and my friends, in fact. *swings sword, sending a quick green beam at Adaki* Souhajin!

[Magoseong]

(ooc: They're fine. The explosion didn't do anything to them..)

Cho-Hold on!! Adaki-*swings his sword, deflecting back severed pieces of the green beam which fly back at Cho and Kas as sparking projectiles* ... Cho-!! *rolls foward, dodging the projectiles* Agh! *quickly gets up afterwards* Wait!! Why are we fighting..?! *looks at Adaki* Adaki! Why.. Why do you wanna kill us..?! Adaki-... I already told you.. Suddenly glyphs appear underneath Cho and Kas' position. Firey pillars shoot out from the glyphs, striking Cho and Kas. This attack is unavoidable (but can be blocked in a "special" way). Cho-!! Aagh!! *flies into the air, his body set ablazed* Aagh!!

Meanwhile,
Giant Goblin-... *coughs, then rubs his eyes* ..?? Huuhh.. o_O

[Admiral44]

Cless-*suddenly appears in front of the Giant Goblin, rubbing his eyes a bit* Hey, hey, don't get distracted! *swings sword, striking it in the head and knocking it down*

Meanwhile,
Kas-*dodged the projectiles but is sent flying into the air due to the flame pillars* Argh!! *crashes into the ground on back* Oww.. *sits up and notices the tip of his hair is on fire* ... *quickly jumps up and spins, causing a small tornado to put out the fire and head at Adaki, without Kas noticing* Ngh. *suddenly holds back and falls down on one knee* Damnit.. That hurt. T_T

[Magoseong]

Adaki-*suddenly appears behind Kas* It's over.. *covers Kas with his robe, causing everything to go completely pitch black* Nothing happens for a long time.. Suddenly, the swing of Adaki's sword is heard and a ray of light tears the darkness apart, mortally injuring Kas and critally hurting Cho. Both are unable to fight anymore and have lost. The darkness vanishes.. Cho-Aaaaugh!! *flies down and crashes into the ground - the flames on his body are put out from Adaki's attack on Kas* Aaugh..!! U-uh..!! Adaki-... *his sword suddenly bursts into gentle black flames, vanishing* ... *looks at Kas, then at Cho* ...

Meanwhile,
Giant Goblin-*his head slightly tilts to the side from Cless' attack* Oof.. >_< *notices Cless* Uah? *picks Cless over his head* Aaagh!! Reo-*suddenly appears in front of the Giant Goblin, thrusting his sword into the goblin's stomach* Haa..!! Giant Goblin-..?! Ooh.. o_O *looks down at Reo* Reo-Tuuurriaah!! *swings his sword around performing a sprial slash, soaring high up, cutting apart the giant goblin* Giant Goblin-!! Aaaugh!! *drops Cless and falls back - the Giant Goblin gets lifted up into the air by Reo's attack* Reo-*eventually stops and raises his sword up - holding it with both hands* Shouha!!! *slams his sword HARD down on the Giant Goblin* Giant Goblin-!!! Reo-SOU -- TEEENZAAN!! *crashes down into the ground with the Giant Goblin, causing the ground to crack apart, causing a stream of immense heat to rise up from the ground dealing constant damage to the giant goblin* Giant Goblin-!!! Buaaagh!! The immense force from Reo's attack causes the Giant Goblin to explode and sends Reo flying back.. Reo-Aaaugh!! *crashes into the ground, puking blood* Ugh..!! *drops his sword* Ugh.. -_-

[Nova]

Ryou-*gets up from the blast and picks his bow which landed near him* What th-*falls to the ground as he steps on his right leg*Aghhh*notices an arrow that had gone through his leg by the force of the blast and rips it out*(Geez...but I must keep going)*gets up and winces a bit and walks towards the now fallen Reo*

[Admiral44]

Cless-*crashes into the ground* Ugh. >_< *stands up slowly, noticing the Giant Goblin* W-whoa. *looks at Reo* You.. You didn't have to push yourself, you know. o_O'' *looks around* Maybe, if Cia were here, she could heal you up... Maybe I should go get her.

[Magoseong]

Aoi-*appears beside Reo* He's right.. *looks at the spot of where the giant goblin was* To fight so recklessly in your state, is just.. Reo-I'm.. I'm alright.. *gets up quickly, picking his sword up* I have to push myself in order to fight this damn illness.. *covers his mouth, coughing* Ugh..! ... I don't understand why I'm so sick.. But, I'm sure I'll be able to- Suddenly a fireball appears in front of Reo. Reo-..?! *jumps back* W-what the..?! The fireball transforms into a wolf - Kiyu. Kiyu-... *suddenly collaspes to the ground* Ugh..! Reo-K-Kiyu..!! Aoi-! O-Okami-san.. Kiyu-... Aoi-Wait.. If your here.. *looks around* Where's Cho? And Clay? Kiyu-... T-they're in trouble. Reo-Trouble?! What kind of trouble?! Kiyu-*slowly gets up* It was Adaki.. Reo-A-Adaki..?! You mean he's here?! Aoi-Brother..?! Reo-Damnit!! The nerve of that b@stard!!

[Nova]

Ryou-*walks over to the group, limping but withstands the pain to not make it noticeable. He notices the wolf from before and hears the news* I guess we have to go help them but how will we get there quickly?

[Admiral44]

Cless-Well.. We have no choice! *suddenly runs off* We gotta go save them!! ???-Hold on, Mr. Ailerion. Then, a beautiful woman, wearing a dark green sleeveless kimono, with a large dragon design around the kimono, making it look like it's wrapped around her body stops in front of Cless. She has bright, courageous eyes and long green hair, that is in a bun-style. She has a staff in her hand. This is Cia Tenshin, basically the Mayor (Leader whatever) of Mystic Village. Cia-You can't just run off recklessly like that. You have to find out where they are, first. And, considering it's Adaki, we have to be smart. He's not just some pushover, like Segma. Cless-*suddenly bows down* Cia-sama. Cia-... ... ... *slams her staff down on Cless's head, causing Cless to fall down and a huge bump to appear on his head* What did I tell you about the bowing? Cless-Agh.. @.@ Cia-*walks passed Cless, towards Reo, noticing his condition right off and suddenly has an emotionless look on face, but yet this makes her look angry to some people* Reo-san, you were being reckless again, weren't you?.. -_-

[Magoseong]

Reo-Never mind about that..!! *coughs loudly and for a long time, struggling for a breath* ... Ugh.. *shakes his head and looks at Kiyu* Hey! Mutt!! Where's Adaki, Cho and Clay at?! Kiyu-... At the bridge.. Reo-*swirls his sword around, then looks back* That's not "too" far.. *prepares to run off* If I run full speed, I should-- Aoi-*grabs Reo by the shoulder* Wait! Shouldn't you think this through? Listen to what Cia said.. This is Adaki we're dealing with. Reo-... *looks at Aoi* Your talking to Reo here, Aoi-san. Aoi-... I know that. I'm aware of what your capable of.. But your sick! You can't possibly stand a chance against Adaki! Reo-Wanna bet? *shakes Aoi off* Aoi-... This isn't a game, Reo! Reo-... *dashes off, moving at an incredible speed (it's actually pretty close to Clay's full speed)* I know that! Aoi-!! R-Reo!

[Admiral44]

Cia-*sighs* ...Reckless. *looks down at Cless* Cless, get up and go after him. Cless-*stands up, rubbing his head* Right.. But-- *looks off at the direction Reo went* ...I'm not that fast. T_T Cia-I know. That's why I'm going, too. Cless-Hmm? W-wait a sec, you can't go! What if something happens to you?! What will the village do without you?! Cia-*smiles and in a sarcastic, flirtatious tone* Well, I guess you'll have to be a good soldier and protect me, won't you, Cless? *suddenly appears behind Cless and wraps her arms around his neck* You'll be my knight-in-shining armor, won't you? Cless-*face is bright red and coughs and gets out off Cia's grip* K-knock it off! >_<'' Cia-Hmhm, I'm just teasing you. ^_^ *spins staff around in her hand* By the time I get done chanting, Reo should arrive at the bridge.. *closes eyes and starts chanting a Teleportation Spell* Cless-*face is still red* Mmm. *rests his arm on his sheathed sword* ...So strange for a Village Leader. Cia-*opens one eye, looking at Cless, but is still chanting (in a way)* Hmm? Did you say something? Cless-*looks away* N-no! >_>'' Cia-*smiles* Hmm. *closes eye and continues to chant* Cless-...

[Magoseong]

Meanwhile,
Adaki-... Segma-*slowly gets up, coughing* Ugh! >_< Goddamnit! What the hell?! Junko-... Ugh.. *slowly gets up from the ground* Aagh.. J-Jeez.. That was.. Something.. -_-'' Kliser-Ngh.. Junko-?.. *looks at Kliser* Kliser? ... *looks around, noticing everyone else* Eh..? What the.. o_O *looks and notices Adaki* !!! *stands up* Adaki..!? Adaki-... *slowly turns his head and looks at Junko* Junko-*points at Adaki* Why the heck are you here?! Adaki-... *aims his hand at Junko and a stream of energy rushes out from his palm, heading straight for Junko* Junko-!! *ducks down* Wuaah!! >_< ... *gets up afterwards* That's not the answer I wanted!! Adaki-... *a glyph appears underneath Adaki* Junko-! *a glyph appears underneath him as well and Junko starts chanting quickly* Rock Break! Stalagmite pops out from underneath Adaki, while a pillar of fire (the same ones that attacked Cho and Kas) arises from underneath Junko. Junko-!! *snaps his finger, creating a barrier to surround him which absorbs the pillar of fire* Eh! Adaki-*jumps back, avoiding the stalagmites* ... Junko-*the barrier vanishes a bit too soon and Junko ends up getting hit* Agh! *flies into the air* Yeow!! *recovers and lands on the ground on his feet* Aaah.. *coughs and falls down on one knee* J-Jeez.. My magic's not workin well here.. Adaki-...

[Admiral44]

Idate-Zzzz.. *sleep-talking* Cia-saaaamma.. My bed's broke. Maybe I could--... Heh heh. Niiiice. Hope'd you'd say that. *is drooling* Zzz. Clarth-Gah.. @_@ Ray-*getting up, rubbing his head* Ugh.. *looks around, noticing Adaki* Huh?... You--...? *notices Junko* H-hey, Junko. *looks at Adaki and smirks* Heh. Well... If you're here, then it can't be good.

[Magoseong]

Junko-*coughs, then collaspes to the ground* Agh! ... Sh!t.. Adaki-... Segma-Huh? *looks at Ray, then at Junko* ... *looks around and finally notices Adaki* Eh? Aren't you.. o_O Adaki-*looks at Segma* ... *points his finger at Segma* Segma-Huh? Suddenly an explosion strikes Segma. Segma-!! *rockets off high into the sky* Wuaaah!! *vanishes shortly after* ... Adaki-... *lowers his arm* ... nuisance.. *stretches both his arms straight out and a blue glyph appears underneath him* Die.. Junko-*looks up at Adaki* Ack..! Wait..!! Suddenly the sky above turns very cloudly.. Junko-?! *looks up at the sky* This..?! Adaki-... With Heaven's light, I open Hell's gate. I will use God's Lightning in order to wipe everything out.. Suddenly, a shining light descends from the sky. Thunder can be heard. Junko-!! *yells at Adaki* Hey!! Cut it out!! Adaki-... It's the end. *lowers his arms* INDIG-- Reo suddenly appears and tackles Adaki. Reo-Seiyah!! Adaki-!! *falls down* Ugh! The sky returns back to normal. Adaki-... *slowly gets up, looking back at Reo* ... Reo.. Reo-Adaki!! What the hell?! *looks around* ... Junko-? *notices Reo* Eh? Oh, hey! Reo! Glad you're here.. Wait a minute - aren't you sick? o_O Reo-Shut up!! Is that important right now!? Adaki-*stands up and faces toward Reo* ... Reo-*looks at Adaki* Teh! I don't know why me and the others consider you as a "friend".. *looks at Cho, then at Kas and looks back at Adaki* You've gone too far!! Adaki-...

[Admiral44]

Ray-*has a nervous expression on face* Y-you were--... What the hell? Why are you trying to kill us?! *looks at Kas and Cho* Are you the one who did this to Kas and Cho?! Idate-*is suddenly up and leaning against Ray, having his arm rested on Ray's shoulder, ignoring what Ray said* Ahh, friend? I never really considered him a "friend", but.. I never considered him an "enemy", either... Hmm. Ah, well. *points forward* Go get him, Ray! This isn't the time nor the place where I wanna die. >_> Ray-...But-- Then, a bright flash blinds everyone for a moment and then Cia and Cless appears in front of everyone. Cia-*still has her eyes closed* ... Cless-*looks around and sighs* ...We made it in time. Ray-*notices them* C-... Cia?! What are you doing here?! Cia-I need to find something out. *opens eyes, looking serious* Adaki. What are you plotting? Why are you attacking your friends? Ray-Hmm? Cless-? Idate-ooohh..? Cia-*looks at Cho and Kas and has a strange smile on her face* Aren't you.. Going a bit far? You're out of line. Kas-... Clarth-Ngh.. @.@

[Magoseong]

Adaki-... *looks around* ... *his sword appears back in his hand* The world.. *swings his sword, causing hundred of purple bolts to hit everywhere* Reo-!! *jumps back, avoiding one bolt* Teh! Adaki-... Has been tainted by corruption. *suddenly black feathered wings come out from his back, causing him to float into the air* Because of our kind. Our kind has been nothing but a leeching parasite to Mana. We've been nothing more but a blood stain on the fabrics of space and time. It was all your fault.. Junko-... Reo-Teh.. What the hell are you talking about?! Adaki-I will.. Bring this world.. to the era.. of renaissance..!! Reo-Adaki.. *coughs* ... ugh.. *shakes his head and stares at Adaki seriously* You've gone senile.. Adaki-If no one will act.. Nothing will change.. That's why, I decided to go down this path.. *looks down* Because, I.. am.. the Messiah. Reo-... *smirks* Teh! You've lost it.. Adaki-This is our atonement.. To die and be cleansed in a purgatory. We will be ressurected.. From there, we will find ourself in.. Reo-*leaps foward at Adaki and slashes him* Shut the hell up already!!! Adaki-*gets hit - a giant rip tears his robe apart* ... Reo-..?! Adaki-*grabs Reo's sword and stares at him in the eyes* Reo-?! Adaki-Paradise!! *swipes Reo with his sword* Reo-!! Uaagh!! *flies back and crashes into the ground* Junko-... *slowly gets up and stares at Adaki* So.. You've finally lost yourself, huh bro? Adaki-... D-Die!! A dome of strange energy consumes everyone around.. Junko-... *looks around, then at Adaki* So.. Destiny's being an asshole to you..

[Admiral44]

Cia-*looking around, sighing* ...Bad answer. Soren-*slowly getting up* Ugh.. Ray-*looks at Adaki* Are you honestly gonna fight us? Even you can't beat all of us... *thinking outloud* All though, it was a smart move to wait until Sasuke and Garet left the village.. Idate-*looks at Ray* Don't praise him, dumb@$$! He's trying to destroy the world!! AND, more importantly, this group first! Which SADLY includes me! -_-'' Cless-*sweatdrops* ...

[Magoseong]

Junko-... Adaki-*swings his sword again, causing hundreds of lightning bolts to ran down and strike everyone* Die.. Everyone-!! Aaagh!! Junko-!! Ngh..!! *snaps his fingers, causing a blue barrier to shield everyone from the lightning bolts - the barrier absorbs the lightning bolts* T-teh..! Adaki-*swings his sword the other way and plants it hard into the ground, causing an enormous burst of fire to rise up from the ground, burning everyone* Die..!! The blue barrier shatters.. Everyone-!! Aaaah!! Junko-Wuaagh! *snaps his fingers again, causing another barrier to shield everyone which absorbs the fire - this one's colored red* Aagh..!! >_< *coughs* D-damn..!! *collaspes to the ground afterwards* Ugh..! Adaki-*takes his sword out from the ground and raises it into the air, causing a giant lump of ice to crash down on top of everyone which shatters and forms into a blizzard that severely injures everyone* Die!! The red barrier vanishes.. Everyone-!! Aaaaah...!! Junko-... *slams his hand hard down on the ground, causing a light blue barrier to shield everyone, ending the blizzard* ... ... ... U-ugh..! He's being really cheap..! >_<'' ... Damnit.. I don't have any energy.. The light blue barrier vanishes.. Adaki-*lowers his sword and drops it* ... The world..!! Ugh..! *floats back down to the ground and lands on his feet* ... Junko-*tilts his head up and notices Adaki* Teh! And here's our chance to attack.. Yeck.. @_@ *his head falls down - his face plants into the ground* ... ... ...

[Admiral44]

Idate-*suddenly draws out his Cutlass and Rapier and dashes at Adaki* Alrighty! Thanks! Ray-W-wait-- Cless-*draws sword and dashes at Adaki as well* ...Idate! Idate-Right-o. Idate/Cless-*suddenly both speeds up considerable* Cross-- *both thrusts through Adaki, making an X with eachother* Thrust! Cia-...

[Magoseong]

Adaki-... *dashes foward, bashing into both Cless and Idate right before they hit Adaki* That's enough..!!! *tackles Cless and Idate, pushing them both back and causing them to fly backwards* AaaaAAGGHHH!!!!! *soars into the ir and wraps his arms around himself* The world!! Aaaaaaghh!!! Suddenly pillars of lightning crashes down on top of everything and everyone, dealing heavy damage. Adaki-I will..!! No one..!! Aaaaghh!!! *his body glows red* Mana..!!! *swings his arms wide open, revealing his face to be written in strange red markings* Ancient JUDGEMENT!!! Hundreds of enourmous lightning bolts crashes down immensely on top of everyone, pummeling them to near death.. Rays of light also rises up from below, causing even more damage. Afterwards, everyone collaspes from the attack.. Junko-Ugh..!! Reo-... *coughs out blood* !.. Adaki-*floats back down to the ground* ... It's beginning.. It's inevitable. It's unforgivable.. So.. Die.. *his sword appears back in his hand and Adaki lifts it into the air* ... Reo-... *slowly gets up, trembling in exhaustion* ... *quickly leaps up and dashes at Adaki* Your really p!ssing me off here!!! *slashes Adaki* Adaki-*blocks Reo's slash* ..!! *gets pushed back* ... Reo-*his sword starts glowing* You've gone completely stupid.. All you've been doing is just spamming annoying spells and just spouting bullsh!t!! Wll, I had enough!! Your obviously a threat to everyone here..!! You've gone too far, Adaki.. So I've decided.. To end your life here and now!! This time, you won't escape!! *a glyph appears underneath Reo, shooting out sprials of energized light* Adaki-!! Aaaugh! *gets knocked into the air* Reo-Hyaaaah!! *leaps off from the ground, causing a scattered explosion of light to strike Adaki* Adaki-Auaagh! Reo-*appears high in the air, raising his sword high up* I'll show you--!! *sprials of light surround and consume his sword, transforming it into a giant blade of radiance* Tenshou!! *falls down toward Adaki, swing his sword of radiance down* Sou-- Adaki-*looks up, noticing Reo* .. !! *thrusts his sword foward, piercing Reo's stomach just before his impact* Reo-Uaagh!! *pukes blood* ... HAZAN!!! Reo crashes down on top of Adaki - the sword of radiance fiercely pummels Adaki. An explosion of light engulfs the two, blinding everyone's eyesight momentarily.. Everyone-?!! Aah!!

After..
Slowly, everyone regains the ability to see again. Junko-... Uh.. >_<'' Whoa.. *opens his eyes and looks around* Wha.. What happened? Adaki is seen, partly wounded and holding his arm.. Adaki-Hah.. Hah.. *coughs* Ugh.. Junko-... Wounded, huh? *looks around and notices Reo* ... Tch. Reo is lying down on the ground in a small puddle of his own blood. His sword has been snapped apart, which is resting in front of him.. Reo-... Adaki-Hah hah.. Ergh..! Damn.. I didn't.. expect such power from you.. Reo..!! But, then.. W-Was it wrong for me to go.. this way..? Adaki's wing seem to have dissapeared. Adaki also looks a bit less "insane" then before. His eyes are glowing a calm yellow light. The red markings on his face vanished as well. Adaki-... Cho suddenly awakens.. Cho-*slowly gets up, coughing* Ugh.. Damnit..! >_< My head!! ... What.. What happened? *looks around* Huh? W-wha.. *notices Reo* !! R-Reo!!! *quickly gets up, with some diffculity at first and runs toward Reo* Reo!! *kneels down beside him* Reo!! Hey!! *shakes Reo* Hey!! What's wrong..?! Junko-... *slowly gets up* N-ngh.. *loses balance on one of his leg and almost falls down* Wuah..! ... Cho-Reo!! Hey!! Reo-... *coughs out blood* ... O-ow.. -_-'' Cho-!! Reo!! Reo-*looks at Cho, his eyes are lifeless* ... H-heh.. Hey, Cho.. You finally up I see.. Cho-What happened to you..?! Reo-... I.. I kinda got a bit reckless, I guess.. I should have listened to everyone.. My bad.. Ugh.. Sorry.. Cho-Ah..!! Reo-... H-hey.. Your not thinking of crying over me, are you? Sheesh.. Don't be such a wimp.. Cho-... Reo-... I've been looking after you for too long.. So.. I guess, you'll have to learn on how to take care of yourself.. Ngh..! Cho.. Cho-R-Reo!! Reo-... Teh.. *slowly closes his eyes* Don't even think about.. shedding a single tear... On me.. C-Cho... Cho-...! Reo-... Cho-R-Reo!! Reo!! *shakes Reo's body violently* H-hey!! Knock it off!! Your just uncouncious!! Reo-... Cho-Damnit!! I'll tell everyone about that embarassing incident of yours, if you don't knock it off..!! Reo-... Cho-... *stops shaking Reo's body* R-Reo.. I.. Junko-... *rubs his forehead* Reo.. Your a moron. That was a stupid way to die.. -_- Adaki-... *walks toward Cho and looks down at Reo* ... Unn.. Cho-... *clenches his fists tightly* W-why..?! Why did you..?! Adaki-... *stops and looks at Cho* ... It was his decision. Besides.. It seemed like he was going to die anyway, so what difference does it make? Everyone on this world and every other world will share the same fate. Cho-*takes Reo's broken sword, then leaps foward and stabs Adaki* You son of a b!tch!!! Adaki-...!! *gets hit* Ugh! The sword pierces into his body slightly.. Cho-... You went too far this time!! I won't forgive you - I CAN'T forvive you!! Reo.. Was my best friend..!! And you killed him!!! Adaki-... I won't say anything to mock your strong friendship with Reo... I won't say anything at all. ... If you want to kill me, then go ahead.. Cho-...?! Junko-?! What?! Adaki..?! Adaki-... Come on, Cho.. Kill me. Cho-... *pushes Adaki back, towards the edge of the bridge - an attempt to push him off* Teeh!! Adaki-*simply walks back* ... Cho-I..!! I!! Cho eventually stops at the edge with Adaki, hesitating.. Cho-...!! Adaki-.l.. *looks back and down below* ... I knew it. You can't.. Cho-... ... ... Adaki-... Your compassion is stopping you from proceeding. Cho-S-Shut up..!! I'll..!! Adaki-... For not killing, I suppose.. I'll give you a "gift" in return. Junko-?! G-Gift..?! >_<'' Adaki-... *raises his sword into the air* ... I will.. help you go to the afterlife, where you will meet Reo. Cho-!!! Junko-!!! *runs foward but trips* Wuah!! Cho!! >_< Adaki-*slams his sword down hard on the ground* A part of the bridge where Adaki and Cho are standing on breaks off.. Cho-!!! Aaaahh!!! Adaki-... Adaki and Cho continue to fall down below, vanishing.. Junko-*looks up* G-Goddamnit!! >_< The bridge continues to break.. It's about to fall apart!! Junko-*looks around* S-Shoot!! Everyone!! Get up!! >_< Now!!! *jumps up* Wuagh!

[Admiral44]

Kas-*suddenly sits up, his hair is completely messy and he looks around slowly, looking drowsy* Wh-... What's goin' on? I heard explosions.. Wuaaah.. *falls back down again, asleep* Zzz.. Ray-*gets up slowly, brushing self off* Damnit! *quickly grabs all the kids (Clarth, Ken, Taro, Emeta)* We gotta go! Idate-*on one knee* Thanks for pointing out the obvious.. -_-'' *stands up slowly* Ngh. That hurt.. T_T Cless-*quickly picks up Kas, carrying him over his shoulders* D-damn! Idate-*looks at Cia* Can't you teleport us out of here, Cia?! >_< Cia-No.. I can't chant that fast. >_> Idate-*looks at Soren* What about you, Soren?! Soren-*has his eyes closed* No... Do I look like a God of Miracles? -_-'' All we can do is.. *opens eyes* Run! *dashes off* Idate-A-ack!! >_< *follows after Soren*

[Magoseong]

Kliser-... N-ngh.. *slowly gets up, coughing* U-ugh.. W-what..?! Ugh! Junko-*picks Kliser up* C'mon! Let's get going already! T_T Kliser-?! W-wah..!! Junko-*runs toward Reo's body and picks him up as well* Egh.. >_< At times like this, I really wished I worked out a bit.. Yaagh.. That, or I wish everyone didn't weigh so much!! *quickly but slowly runs away* Everyone else follows, picking up anyone who was left behind.. The bridge breaks apart and collaspes..

In front of the ruined bridge.
Junko-*sitting down, with Kliser and Reo laying down in front of him* Hah.. Hah.. >_<'' *coughs and looks at the bridge* ... D-damn.. Out all of bridges, why was that the one to go? Goddamnit.. Kliser-... *cough, cough* Ugh.. *slowly gets up* W-wha.. Ugh.. Suddenly Holy Circle soldiers arrive, with Cynthia behind them. Cynthia approaches everyone. Cynthia-*notices the bridge* ?! ... *looks at Cia, then at Junko* W-what happened here?! Junko-... The bridge got blown by that crazy brother of mine. Soldier 1-?! You mean Adaki?! Cynthia-Adaki? ... Adaki was here? Why? Junko-Beats me. I guess to cause some havoc.. You know.. Typical maniac stuff? >_<'' Were you expecting him to drop by for a chat? Cynthia-... *looks around, looking very concerned* ... And what about Segma? Junko-I.. I dunno. o_O'' But, I have a feeling he won't be bothering us for a while. Cynthia-... You might be right. We managed to hold back against the goblin army. They retreated from the village. Junko-Oh.. Joy. I thank thee Holy Circle for thou valiance. Cynthia-... Where is Adaki now? Junko-Dead, probably. He fell with the bridge.. Cynthia-*looks around* ... Is everyone alright? Were there any casualties? Junko-*nervously* N-No.. Everyone's okay. No need to worry. Soldier 1-... *notices Reo* ..?! Wait.. What's wrong with Reo? Junko-... *points at Reo, without looking at him* Reo? ... He's okay. Cynthia-... Junko-No! I don't think he's dead! He's not dead.. -_- He's probably fainted. ^_^'' I'll go check his pulse.. >_> *walks toward Reo and places his finger against his neck - his pulse* ... ... ... Cynthia-... Soldier 1-Well? Junko-... ... ... *gets up and looks at the soldier* Ah.. ... *coughs and looks up, looking emotionless (yet somewhat embarassed)* ... Soldier 1-...?! R-Reo's really dead?! Kliser-*coughs* W-what..!? Reo?! *looks at Reo* Junko.. is this actually true?! *holds his wound* !! Uaagh..!! Junko-... I won't say anything. You guys can decide if that's true or not. *looks at Kliser* Anyways.. Kliser - your a mess. Go get some rest.. Kliser-... Two soldiers walk toward Kliser and pick him up, carrying him away. Medic 1-Don't worry, Kliser.. Kliser-*looks back at Reo* ... Soldier 1 (along with other soldiers) walk toward Reo's corspe. Soldier 1-R-Reo-san.. Junko-... It was expected. Reo was a rash moron. -_- Rash morons alway die early. Soldier 1-... It can't be true. Cynthia-... *looks around* Any other casualities? I'm suspecting there may be another.. Junko-... C-Cho's dead. Kliser-?! *looks back at Junko, then pushes the medics down and runs toward him* What?! *stops in front of Junko and grabs him by the collar* Cho's dead?!! What do you mean he's dead?!! Junko-... He fell with Adaki on that bridge. Kliser-...!!! Junko-The chances of him still being alive.. Kliser-... *pushes Junko down to the ground* Junko-Ugh! >_< Kliser-I don't believe it!! *his body trembles* Reo's dead.. And now Cho.. I grew up with those two.. Junko-... *gets up* Kliser.. Sorry, but-- Kliser-... Damnit!! I'll kill Segma!!! Junko-What..?! Hey.. Kliser! Segma had nothing to do with this-- Kliser-If he didn't show up..!! None of this would have happened!! ... *suddenly runs toward a soldier and grabs his sheath, pulling it off* Soldier-?! K-Kliser!! Kliser-*pushes the soldier down* Eeh!! Shut up!! *takes the sword out and throws the sheath away - his body continues to tremble* ... ... ... Junko-H-hey.. *walks toward Kliser* What are you doing? -_- Kliser-*suddenly faces toward Junko and slashes him* Yaaagh!! Junko-!!! *jumps back and falls down into a sitting position* H-hey!! Kliser-... *swings his sword madly around - his body is trembling even more* ... ... ... Cynthia-... *walks toward Kliser* Kliser.. Put the sword down. Kliser-... *swings his sword at Cynthia, creating a fierce red shockwave to hit Cynthia* Shut up!! Cynthia-!! *gets hit and slides back* Ah..!! *falls down on one knee* Soldier 1-!! *runs toward Cynthia* Commander!! ... *looks at Kliser* Kliser just.. attacked you! Cynthia-... He's in a mental breakdown. K-Kliser.. Kliser-Hah.. Hah.. Junko-*gets up and grabs Kliser from behind* Knock it off!! Kliser-!! *shakes Junko off* Aagh!! *bashes Junko's head with the hilt of his sword* Junko-!! Auagh! X_X *falls down* ... ... ... Kliser-... *swings his sword* Shut up!! SHUT UP!! *bashes his sword down on the ground several times - his body is trembling even more* ... ... ... *walks toward Junko and raises his sword into the air* ... ... ... Soldier 1-!! *runs toward Kliser and tackles him down* Don't!!! Kliser-Ugh!! *crashes* ... G-Get off of me!! *kicks the soldier back, sending him flying into two other soldiers* Soldiers-!! Uaagh!! Kliser-*stands up, panting* Hah.. hah.. Some of the soldiers take out their swords, a bit hesitant for most of them. Cynthia-Wait! Hold it! ... Let's keep our distance. Let's wait so he can calm down nstead of aggravating him like this. Besides.. With those wounds - he should soon collaspe. Kliser-... *pounds his sword HARD down on the ground, causing a pit to appear* Aarrgh!! *pounds his sword again, causing the pit to deepen* Aaagh!!! *pounds it down again, causing the pit to deepen further - the sword eventually shatters apart - still long enough to be used as a weapon* Aaaagh!! Cynthia-... Soldier 1-He must be suffering horribly. Cynthia-Cho.. Reo were both his childhood friends. They acted like brothers, from what I heard from his stories. Having them both taken away from him must have been a horrifying traumatic experience.. Kliser-... *swings his "broken" sword around madly, trying to hit "something"* Aaaagh!! Junko suddenly appears behind him and grabs him from behind once more. Junko-Kliser!! Cut it out!! You think I feel great, knowing that both Cho and Reo are dead?! They were my friends too, you selfish brat!! Kliser-SHUT UP!! *swings his sword around, knocking Junko back* Junko-!! Auaagh! Kliser-... *walks toward Junko and raises his sword up into the air* I.. I'll KILL YOU!! *swings it down* Junko-!! *rolls over and dodges it, then gets up walking back away from Kliser* H-He's gone bonkers.. >_< *looks around* H-hey! Help me out here! He's obviously not going to calm down! He'll actually hurt someone! Kliser-... *trembles more and more* ... ... ...

[Admiral44]

Cia-*is very quiet, looking upest* ... Cless-*looks away* ... Ray-*looking around* R-right.. *puts down the kids gently then slides down the pit* Idate-*sweatdrops* Sheesh.. Taking it pretty tough. o_O'' Soren-*has his eyes closed* ...What do you expect? He lost his best friends, who, at the same time, were also his brothers. They were that close. *opens eyes slowly* It's... Tragic. Idate-Yeah, I know that... I know way to well how he feels. I've lost my closest friends and allies, my "family", before. Right in front of my very eyes, slaughtered like livestock. I know exactly how he feels. *looks at Soren, looking emotionless* So, don't try to patronize me, Soren. Soren-... ... ...Idat-- ??????-*sighs* Well.. Looks like I was a little late. Damn... I missed saving them by mere moments. Damnit all. Ray-*notices ??????, a young man, with spikey black hair (in the back and front), wearing the Mystic Village Headband, with his left arm wrapped and a strange wristband on it as well, with a unique ninja suit, it's short-sleeved and shorts, and it's dark green, with a huge shuriken attached to his back and a shuriken pouch and kunai pouch, both on opposite sides and he's wearing dark green water shoes... This... Is Sasuke. He's sitting right beside Kliser, strangely, looking at Junko* Ray-Sa-... Sasuke-kun!? What are you-- Sasuke-*stands up, brushing self off* Junko, if you don't mess with him, he won't "hurt" anyone. Trust me. So, you should.. *suddenly grabs Junko and tosses him at Ray, causing them both to crash out of the pit* Leave him be. I'll let him use all his energy up on me. Alright? It's my atonement... I should've known that it was a ploy to drive me away... Due to my blindness, Reo and Cho were killed... Ray-What are you-- *gets hit by Junko, crashing out of the pit* Gugh! Soren-Sasuke... Wait. Ploy?... *smirks* Oh, I get it. It must've been--... Ahh, I see. Cia-*suddenly notices something about Sasuke, something only she can sense* Wait a second... Sasuke, you're--!! (Oh, no!! He's very injured, he's just putting on a strong face! The damage inside you is--) Sasuke-*smiles, noticing Cia* ... (Ahh, Cia. That's right... You have that strange ability to sense when someone's deeply injured, on the inside of their body...) Oh, well. *turns around, facing Kliser* Kliser. Leave everyone else out of this. It's my fault that Cho and Reo were killed, for being tricked out of the village by Silvia. If I were here, this whole situation could've been avoided... [Clay's Notes: Silvia is to Sasuke, as Volke and Eklov (Hah!) is to me, that pink-haired girl is to Cho, that one ninja chick is to Kliser, and what Baby Segma is to Junko... She's a Segma Fanatic, I guess. I was wondering where she was. She's one of those rare "Copy-Cats", people calls. She can copy anyone and anything perfectly, right down to the DNA... And she's a great actor. So, I'm guessing that she was Garet, because that's who Sasuke left the village with... I bet he got his ass kicked. What he gets for being c0cky. xD] Sasuke-*smile suddenly turns to an arrogant smirk* Heh. But, you're acting a bit childish, aren't you?... Stop acting like they were your friends and your friends alone. Idate-*has his hands in his pockets* What? He plans on egging him on and acting like the arrogant "hero"?! Ridiculous! *suddenly walks off* Soren-*notices Idate* W-wait, Idate-- Cless-*grabs Soren by the shoulder, nodding his head* ... Soren-Cless... *stops* Ngh. Cia-...

[Magoseong]

Junko-Blagh! >_< ... Was throwing me really neccessary?! I could have just.. moved.. Ouch.. Kliser-... ... ... Junko-... *slowly gets up, walking away from Ray* Yeack.. *looks at Idate* D-Don't bring up your own tragic stuff into this - it's already bad enough as it is.. You can sympathize with Kliser silently. *coughs, then looks at Sasuke* By the way.. Sasuke. It's not your fault that Reo and Cho were killed. Your stupid for even believing such a thing. ... I can't say it's anyone's fault. I can't even say it was Adaki's. I'm probably saying this to make you feel better, but I really mean it. If it was your fault - I would be p!ssed off at you.. Well.. Even more p!ssed off at you, I mean. I'm always annoyed by your presense.. Anyway.. Besides that, what good will it do for you if you say that to yourself? If you try to admit that you were responsible for Cho and Reo's death-- Kliser-Shut the hell up already!! *dashes at Junko - he seems to be ignoring Sasuke.. actually, he's ignoring everyone* Junko-!! K-Kliser!! Kliser-*swings his broken sword at Junko* Junko-!! *gets hit and scratch mark from the sword's broken edge appears on his cheek* Agh! *walks back* H-hey! Kliser!! Cut it out-- Kliser-*thrusts his broken sword foward, piercing into Junko's shoulder* Aaagh!! Junko-!! O-owah!! *falls down and crashes* Ugh! Kliser-*pulls his sword out from Junko* Hah.. Hah.. Soldier 1-!!! Junko-san!! Suddenly, some soldiers run at Kliser with their swords drawn out. Cynthia-! Wait!! The soldiers continue to run at Kliser. Some were panicking.. Some were trying to head for Junko rather then for Kliser. Kliser is seen slashing away at anyone who came close to him. Luckily, the broken sword only injured the soldiers rather then killing them. Eventually all the soldiers fall down. Kliser-Hah.. Hah.. *swings his sword* Don't screw around with me..!!! Junko suddenly leaps up from behind and tries to pull the broken sword away from Kliser. Junko-Kliser!! Kliser-Egh!! *knocks Junko back* Get off of me!! *slashes Junko's chest, causing a rip on his robes* Junko-!! *crashes into the ground* Ugh! Suddenly a shadow emerges from behind Kliser, sneaking towards him.. Kliser-*raises the broken sword into the air* Aaah..!!! Cynthia-!! K-Kliser!! Stop!! Suddenly the shadow is revealed to be Mint. Her hands have been handcuffed. Mint-*leaps foward foward and bashes Kliser's head with her right foot* Eeeiii! Kliser-!! *flies foward, dropping the sword and crashes down into the ground* ... ... ... Cynthia-...?! *notices Mint* You..! Mint-Hah.. Hah.. *glares down at Kliser* You.. Stupid punk! Is this your way to show your loss..?! Cynthia-... *notices that tears are coming out of Mint's eyes* ? ... I see. *looks at Kliser* Junko-... *slowly gets up, coughing - holding his wound (his shoulder)* Agh.. Ow.. >_< Damnit.. *looks at Sasuke, childishly annoyed face* Yeah.. If don't mess with him, he won't hurt anyone. T_T I wasn't even talking to him! I was talking to you for a moment and he came rushing at me!! >_< ... *looks down, losing that annoyed look* But.. I guess, maybe he mistakenly thought that those words were directed at him instead.. He probably feels like it's his fault too. Kliser-... Junko-... *suddenly looks at Cynthia and yells* Hey!! Cynthia-san!! Cynthia-... Junko-That trip to Abergeus? Let's delay it till some time.. Cynthia-... *closes her eyes* Understood. Junko-... *looks up, rubbing his head like he's annoyed* ... What a mess.

The next day..
At the Mystic Village entrance.. Standing in front of two guards, there's a blue eyed young girl with long blonde hair (somewhat messy, it looks a bit curly). She's wearing a white vest with a dark pale teal shirt underneath and dark grey pants. She's wearing white long gloves and plain brown shoes. She has a black sheath attached on her back. There's a white flower pinned onto her hair, on top of her head. ????-J-just.. Let me in! Guard 1-Sorry. We were ordered not to let any strangers in. Guard 2-We're afraid you'll have to head back. ????-But.. I need to speak to someone here! Guard 1-... Who is it that you need to see? ????-It's a friend. Guard 1-... Tell me their name. I'll give them a message that you were here. ????-I want to speak with Cho. The guards give the girl a surprised expression.

Meanwhile, at the destoryed bridge - where everyone is.
Junko-... Behind Junko, there's a short haired boy with dark red eyes. He's wearing jet black robes and white trousers. Actually, this isn't a boy - it's a girl who looks like a boy (don't be mistaken by her appearance). This is Kouta. Kouta-... Junko-san, what are you trying to find here? Beside him, there's a grey eyed boy with messy brown hair and wearing mostly green clothing. This is Aruke. Aruke-Yeah! Seriously! Why'd you drag me out here?! T-there could be monsters lurking around here, waiting for a chance to eat us! T_T Junko-I'm looking for "something". So.. Bare with me and help me out here.

[Admiral44]

Kas and Ray are the only ones there (of my characters). Kas-*hair is messed up, looking like he just woke up and he yawns* Wuaaghh.. Oy, Uncle Junko, what are we looking for? Dead bodies?... Ray-H-hey, Kas. Knock it off.

Meanwhile, in the main building of Mystic Village..
Sasuke is laying down on a huge, wooden bed and is wearing his classic clothes.. Sasuke-... ... ... Cia-*walks into the room, carrying a bucket of water and some wash cloths and her staff* You really overdid it this time, Sasuke-chan.. Sasuke-Heh. I'm alright, this isn't really-- Cia-*puts down the bucket and cloths and taps Sasuke on his back* Sasuke-Ngh! Cia-Yeah, whatever.. Take your shirt off. Sasuke-...

Meanwhile,
Kas-*ignores Ray, looking at Junko* ...Well?

[Magoseong]

Junko-Obviously. Why else would we be here? Kouta-Junko-san..? Aruke-Wait.. That's why we're here? To find dead bodies?! >_< W-why?! Junko- Under normal circumstances, I wouldn't bother watsing my time in order to do something like this.. I would just learn to accept the harsh truth. But.. Aruke-But? Junko-... *walks toward the end of the cliff, looking down slightly at where Cho and Adaki fell - everyone follows Junko* You wanna know what's down below? Aruke-?.. *stands beside Junko* What? o_O Junko-... *grabs Aruke and pushes him off the cliff* Aruke-!! *falls off* Wuaaah!! >_< Kouta-!! Aruke!! Junko-Let's find out. Suddenly, Kiyu in her larger form tackles everyone from behind, pushing them off the cliff.. Everyone-!! Aah!! Junko-*grabs onto Kiyu* ... Everyone else also holds onto Kiyu, with the exception of Aruke. Aruke-Aaaaah!!! >_< Junko-*notices Aruke and grabs him* Sorry, Aruke.. ^_^ It was an accident. Aruke-Accident?!! >_< Wuaaah!! Junko-Now, now.. There's no need to fear. -_-'' Let's just hang on..

Down Below, Esoteric Depths
The fall nearly took ten minutes.. Kiyu crashes down on the ground, with everyone safely secured on her back. A small river is nearby.. The body of water seems to be giving off a strange blue radiance that's brightening up the area. Kiyu-Ngh..! Junko-*notices the river and looks around* So.. This is what the old man meant. Aruke-Huh?!! O_o Kiyu vanishes and transforms into a fireball which floats beside Junko's head.. Everyone ends up falling down towards the ground.. Junko-*lands on his knees* Oof.. Aruke-!! *crashes flat on his stomach* Augh! Kouta-*lands on her knees and hands* Ah.. Junko-*gets up* Hey.. Mutt. You alright? Kiyu-... I'm fine. You shouldn't be worried about me. Junko-... *looks around, then looks up* Jeez.. That was quite a long fall. I didn't expect it to be this deep. Hmm.. Getting back up is going to be troublesome. Aruke-*jumps up* J-Junko!! What.. Hey.. Where are we?!! O_O Junko-Relax.. Your still in one piece. *looks around* This place.. It used to be a valley very long ago. But as the planet grew, this entire place changed significantly.. And as you can see.. *looks around even more, turning around as well* ... It's completely lifeless. *looks at the river strangely* ... Kouta-... J-Junko-san.. Why are we here? Junko-... To look for dead bodies. Aruke-A-Are you serious?!! In this place?!! Nuh uh! No way!! I quit!! >_< Junko-Okay. You can stay here then until we're back. Aruke-Hey!!

[Admiral44]

Kas-*looks up and yawns* Wuuaagghh.. T_T Ray-*sweatdrops* ...W-well... I'm more worried about getting back up right now... You haven't doomed us, have you? o_O'' Kas-*wraps arms around head* Who cares about things we can't control. Let's just get this over with.. >_> *looks around and suddenly walks off* Ray-H-hey! Where are you going?! Kas-To look for dead bodies!

[Magoseong]

Junko-*holds Kas' shoulder* Hold on.. Being hasty here isn't such a good idea. Aruke-(As being here in the first place was a good idea.) Junko-?.. *suddenly places his fingers at his ears, taking his hand off of Kas' shoulder (there's some kind of earphone in his ear.. it's really hard to actually see it* What? Kouta-? Aruke-Huh? o_O Junko-... ... ... You mean the surge signal is getting even stronger? Looks like we have less time then I thought.. Kouta-Junko? Junko-... *looks at Kas* Forget what I said - let's all act really really hasty! In fact.. Let's run as fast as we can.. *dashes away down the path* That way! A race to see who's the fastest! Aruke-!! *chases after Junko* Hey!! Where are you going?!! >_< Everyone else, having not much options, follows Junko - running.. Everyone manages to easily run past Junko, seeing how he's moving incredibly slow. Everyone-*sweatdrops, looking back at Junko* Junko-...

Further exploring the area.. Everyone arrives at the ruins of a temple.
Surrounding everyone, are strange glowing blue liquid substances.. a powerful cold presence is felt. Aruke-... A-ah.. What's with this spooky chill? >_< Kouta-... Junko-san.. Is it safe to go on ahead? I don't like this.. Junko-Just keep close. It doesn't look like we need to go any further from here on. Kouta-Junko-san? Junko-...

[Admiral44]

Ray-*looking around, cautiously* ... Kas-*notices the ruins* Wait... But, we GOTTA keep going... Look at those creepy ruins that are just dying to be explored.. ^_^ Ray-Kas, stop being childish, just for a moment.. Kas-I'm not being childish. It's that feeling of "Curiousty towards the unknown". ^_^ Ray-...

[Magoseong]

Aruke-*looks at Kas* Curiousity towards the unknown? ... You know that phrase can be taken the "wrong" way? Kouta-*looks at Kas* But, Kas-san.. Do you think we'll find anything in there? I don't think Cho-san would be inside.. Junko-You'd be surprised.. But.. It seems like the signal's coming from inside that temple. Aruke-Signal? What signal? Junko-The signal of a strong life force.. Aruke-Life force? o_O ... Hold on.. I thought we were trying to find dead bodies. You know.. Cho.. and Adaki? Junko-The signal is transmiting strong wave motions. Aruke-So? Junko-But.. there doesn't seem to be any surge detection, meaning that whoever or whatever is transmitting these strong wave motions, their bodies are no longer functioning. In other words, they're "dead". So.. technically, we really are looking for dead bodies. Just dead bodies that have similar proterties as living beings - if that even made any sense at all. o_O Aruke-... Huh? Surge? So what if we have no electricity running through our veins? Junko-If our bodies have no surge, we could no longer move, talk or even think. Our body just shuts down and fades away like dust.. Death. Aruke-... Kouta-Surge is our life essence - without it.. we would simply die. Aruke-O-oh.. Oh.. Oooh! I get it, kinda! Junko-This is strange.. No dead body should be able to emit wave motions, especially not as strong as these ones that even average living beings wouldn't be able to create.. It's why I actually took the motiviation to come down here with you guys to investigate this odd case. I am highly suspecting that it's Adaki, recovering from his fall. Either way, I don't feel safe with whatever's creating these wave motions.. Aruke-... I just realized - you were acting serious the entire time! T_T Junko-... So? Aruke-That.. is not a good sign! It means whatever this thing is, the thing making all the wave thingies, is BIG BAD NEWS! Junko-Let's just hope it isn't. Hope it's something friendly and kind-hearted.. Kouta-... Like Cho-san? Junko-*walking foward, towards the temple* I suppose.. something to mimic Cho's compassion and heart.. Everyone follows Junko once again, heading inside the temple.

Inside, it feels like the temple has been around for milleniums.. Because of that, it felt appropriate to call this the Sanctuary of Time.
Faint echoes could be heard as everyone steps inside.. If you listen when everything is dead silent, the echoes seem to be actually singing a sacred hymn. It sounds haunted yet ethereal.. Aruke-*looks around* ... ... ... And I thought outside was spooky! T-T-this is terrifying!! O_O Kouta-... So eerie. Yet it feels oddly familiar.. Junko-*looks around* I wonder why it's so bright in here. There isn't enough light to brighten up this place.. Come to think of it.. This place looks like it's been built yesterday. The texture on the walls, floor and ceiling look so clean and flawless.. Aruke-Aaww.. Junko!! Why did you bring me along?! Junko-Sorry.. As cowardice as you may be, you're a capable mage. Bringing you along was mandatory in this investigation. I was going to bring Kliser but.. Aruke-I don't know magic!! >_< What are you talking about, fool?! Junko-... If this place creeps you out alot, you and Kouta can wait outside.. Aruke-... Outside's not any better! T_T I'll stick with you guys.. Junko-Alright, then. Now.. Quit whining. *looks around* Let's explore this area a bit..

[Admiral44]

Kas-Whooa, it's amazing!! So cool! Good thing Nii-san went all out yesterday, or I wouldn't be seeing this! *steps forward* This place.. So mysterious. It feels like we're disgracing it by being here.. I feel goosebumps. ^_^ Ray-I agree with you on one thing.. I feel that eerie feeling that we shouldn't be here.. Kas-*nods* Yup. Well, then-- Then, suddenly a strong hand grabs Kas's shoulder. Kas-*jumps up* Hey, now! >_<'' Ray-*turns around, noticing a man with brown hair and an "awesome" goe-T (as Kas and some other people call it) wearing regular hunting clothes, with an axe strapped to his back. He's pretty muscular... This is Nolan* Ray-*notices Nolan* Ahh.. Nolan, it's you. You followed us, like I asked.. Nolan-*crosses his left arm, then rests his elbow on it and strokes his chin* Of course. Kas-Ohhh, Old Man Nolan.. *looks at Ray* Ray-san? You should've just cut off his go-t and took it with us, it's more full of awesome then Nolan himself. ^_^ Ray-*sweatdrops* ... Kas-*slowly approaches Nolan, reaching for his beard* Can I--... May I touch it? Nolan-Remember the last time you touched it, Kas-chan? ^_^'' Kas-*suddenly stops in his tracks, sweating a bit* ... ... ... *takes three steps back, away from Nolan* ... ... ... Nolan-*looks at Junko* Ray told me that you guys might need some assistance. Hope you don't mind me tagging along. Kas-Of course not! You're a capable Axe-Wielder! >_<

[Magoseong]

Junko-... *stares at Nolan* How on earth did you manage to get here all by yourself? o_O Wait.. Don't bother answering that question. I don't think it's important for us to know right now. As long as your here.. Aruke-Grr.. If he was coming along, then why did you have to bring me along?! You don't need me if you have someone like him!! Junko-... I didn't know he was coming. Aruke-Lousy excuse! Junko-... *walks foward, looking around* ... Huh? Aruke-Huh? What's wrong? o_O Junko-I'm suddenly picking up high surge detection levels - something in here is alive. ... ... ... W-wait.. Hold on. *places his fingers against his ear - earphone* What is it? Aruke-... Hey, Junko.. Who are you talking to? Junko-*looks at Aruke* Shut up - I'm talking to-- Wait.. *looks down, trying to listen carefully* Can you repeat that? ... *tilts his head up* The village's under attack again? Aruke-The village's under attack? Junko-Jeez.. What? Segma's back for more? Or is the infamous goblin army? Surely you guys can handle either of them easily, so why are you panicking? Are they using some "weird" tactics on you guys? ^_^ ... ... .... *suddenly makes a surprised and rather serious face* ?! W-what?! What do you mean by that?! Aruke-Huh?! What, what, what?! What's goin on?! o_O Junko-*takes his fingers off his earphone* Hey! Mutt! Head outside and transform into your giant form! *looks around* Everyone, we're leaving! This investigation can wait! >_< Aruke-?!! W-what's going on!? O_o Kouta-What's wrong Junko-san?! What's happening at the village? Junko-The village's being attacked! >_< Aruke-And what's so shocking about that? We have the Holy Circle guys there to help out..? o_O Junko-Just go!! Junko runs out, leaving.. Aruke-... But.. What about.. This? The.. wave motion issue? Kouta-The village's in danger! From Junko's reaction.. It seems serious. Aruke-... I hate when Junko acts serious. >_< But.. Then again - I hate it when he acts childish. -_-'' ... I hate him no matter what. Kouta-Let's just go! Everyone leaves, following Junko..

Meanwhile, in Mystic Village..
Many of the buildings have been badly damaged, some have been completely destoryed. A Holy Circle soldier is seen running away in fear.. Soldier-Aah!! Suddenly a shockwave strikes him from behind. Soldier-!! Aaugh!! *falls down* ... Out from the distance, a familar figure walks toward the fallen soldier. It's Cho(?). He seems to have some kind of strange blue aura around him (they are immense wave motions radiating from his body). Cho seems to be wielding Adaki's sword. Cho?-Heh! What's wrong? I thought you guys were alot stronger then this! ^_^ *kicks the soldier's body* Quit being so lousy! A group of soldiers arrive, facing towards Cho. Cho?-*looks around* Tch.. C'mon. Is this the best you got? *swirls his sword around continously* It's futile, you know that right? I already took out like fourty of you just a few moments ago. Soldiers-... ... ...

[Admiral44]

Cless is seen leading the group of soldiers. He notices Cho. Cless-*surprised expression* Ngh-!! B-but, wait a sec.. *shakes head, expression becoming more serious* Well.. You're obviously not dead, since you're standing here in front of me. (But, what the hell's wrong with him?!) Why are you attacking the village, Cho?! Aren't you-- Clarth-Supposed to be dead, Cho-san?! Clarth is hiding behind a tree, trembling in fear. Cless-*notices Clarth* ! Clarth-W-... Why'd you do this, Cho-san?! Why are you attacking your home?! And how are you alive?! That fall.. No one could've survived that! Not even you!! Wait.. I-I got it. *steps in front of the tree and his voice is quivering* Y-... You're a fake. Yeah, that sounds right. Haha.. A fake. The real Cho-san's still dead.. He'd.. He'd never destroy Mystic Village, he's a great Hero. Ahahaha.. I'm delusional. ^_^'' Cless-... (Clarth..)

[Magoseong]

Cho?-*looks at Clarth, annoyed* Fake? Tch.. You got some nerve calling me a fake. Take a good look, Clarth.. I'm the real deal here! The one and only Cho! ^_^ Soldier 1-Enough with the lies! Cho?-?! Soldier 2-Cho-san would never even think about attacking his home village! Cho?-Teh.. You.. Kliser suddenly walks foward, passing by the soldiers and Cless. Soldier 1-!! Captain!! Soldier 2-Kliser-san.. Kliser confronts Cho in a personal matter. Kliser-... ... ... Cho?-Oh.. Hey, Kliser. ^_^ ... Don't tell me. Are you with these guys too? Kliser-... J-Just.. Just stop it. Cho?-W-what? Kliser-... Whoever you are.. Stop impresonating Cho. Cho?-Huh? Kliser-... I don't care what your reasons are for impresonating him.. Just stop it. You aren't fooling anyone.. It isn't a joke. Soldier 1-Captain.. Soldier 2-Kliser.. ... Kliser-... I'll forgive you for the damage you've dealt here, if you just.. just stop pretending to be Cho and leave. Just leave.. Leave us alone.. Cho?-*backs away* Grr!! What the hell are you saying?! I am Cho!! You don't believe me.. ?! Kliser-... Cho?-Why is everyone treating me like an imposter? I'm the real Cho! Kliser-... Enough already. Cho?-K-Kliser.. You.. Kliser-Just.. enough... I can't take it anymore. ... Cho?-... Kliser-... *falls down on his knees and hands* Ugh.. Soldier 1-!! *rushes toward Kliser* Captain!! Several soldiers follow.. Soldier 2-K-Kliser-san..!! Are you.. Cho?-... I don't get it. Why don't you believe me? I look like Cho.. I sound like Cho.. I am Cho! Soldier 1-*yells at Cho* Look around!! Look at what your doing!! The REAL Cho would never commit to such violent acts! He would never attack and hurt those that he cares so much about! Cho?-... Soldier 2-... If you really are "Cho". Then tell us.. Why are you doing this? Attacking this village.. The very same village "you" swore to protect with your life. Cho?-... I.. *looks at his hands* I don't know..? Soldier 2-... Cho?-I.. I don't know why I'm doing this! Kliser-... Cho?-... B-but, I'm serious! I am Cho!! *looks at Kliser* Kliser!! Remember the time when I accidentally broke your dad's sword?! Kliser-... Cho?-You got so mad at me.. That you wouldn't talk to me for an entire week! I spent day and night trying to fix up your dad's sword.. I wrecked my hands because of it. Kliser-... Cho-D-Don't you remember? Kliser-... Y-Yeah.. I do. You eventually gave up on fixing on the sword.. I was heading to your house.. To apologise for my behavoir. I shouldn't have acted like that.. Eventually we both aplogized and made up - then we both got working on that sword. We managed to fix it together.. Cho-S-See! I am Cho!! ... N-Now, don't you believe me? ... Kliser-... But.. Y-Your not.. Cho.. Cho?-I.. I'll stop attacking the village!! I dunno what came over me! But I'll stop... I promise!! *throws his sword away and raises his arms up* See! Kliser-... Cho?-... *starts crying, tears run down his cheek - these tears seem to be ripping apart his skin, revealing a dark mutated flesh underneath* C-come on.. Your my best friend..! You gotta believe me! Kliser-... Cho?-K-Kliser.. I! Ugh! *holds his head - his voice changes to a more monsterous one* Aaaagh!! Soldier 1-W-what's happening to him..?! Soldier 2-... Cho?-Ah..!! *reaches out for Kliser - his hands seems to have mutated into claws* K-Kliser.. *walks toward Kliser* The soldiers pick and carry Kliser, moving away from Cho. Cho?-K-Kliser..!! I.. Suddenly, a lightning bolt strikes Cho from behind, destorying more of his "fake" skin. Cho?-!!! Aaaugh!! *falls down* .... Soldier 1-?! ... Ah!! Junko-san!! Junko and everyone appears at the scene. Junko-*looks at Cho?* ... Kouta-C-Cho-san?! Aruke-W-whoa!! It really is Cho!! W-what's going on here?!! >_< I'm lost.. Cho?-... *slowly gets up, then faces toward Junko and everyone - his eyes have been damaged - they're now completely black with red pupils* J-Junko..!!! Aaahh... Aaaghh!! *holds his head and falls down on his knees* Junko-... Cless, Clarth and the soldiers carry Kliser and group up with Junko and everyone. Soldier 1-Junko-san.. Do you have any idea what this is? Junko-... *shakes his head, looking cluelessly dumbfounded* A monster.. that looks like Cho? That's my guess.. ._. Cho?-... A-auagh.. W-WHY..?! *looks up at everyone* Why are you..?! Junko-... *coughs and in a much serious, aggravated face* You got some nerve to impersonate a guy who just died yesterday! T_T Poor Kliser here is having his heart tworn to pieces because of what you. -_- Cho?-A-aaugh.. But..!! I.. I am Cho..!!! Junko-*looking fairly surprised* W-wow.. You really mean that don't you? Cho?-I-I.. What's happening to me..?!! Junko-... I think you went bonkers, "Cho". ^_^ Aruke-I think he went beyond that! >_<'' Kouta-C-Cho-san.. Cho?-... *gets in a fighting stance* T-There's something wrong with me..!! I.. I can't control..!! *tilts his body down, holding his head* H-Help..!! *gets back into his fighting stance* Junko-... *rubs his chin, looking REALLY annoyed* Hmm.. I'm having a crappy deja vu moment here. -_-'' Aruke-Deja.. Vu? o_O Whadya mean!? >_< Cho?-... K-Kill.. Kill me..! Aaaaaughh!!! Junko-... Kill? You already "died" once, "Cho".. Let's lower that down to "stopping" you. ^_^ *coughs* Anyway.. I suppose we don't have a choice here but to fight "Cho". Hopefully we'll be able to get this figured out in the end. Let's just focus on stopping "Cho"..

Heart's Unknown Battlefield (Cho?'s personal Theme)
Name-Cho..?
Hp-200,000
Weapons-Cho's Sword (Or.. something that looks like it)
Techniques-All of Cho's techniques
Strengths-He's resistent to physical attacks. He's very agile, making him a difficult target to hit.
Weaknesses-For some odd reason, he is VERY weak to electricity, ice and fire. Elemental magic should be used often here.
Difficulity-Straightfoward
Objective-Defeat "Cho".
Info-Is this an imposter impersonating Cho? A defect clone who thinks he's really Cho? Or is it possibly the real Cho who managed to survive the fall but came back traumatized? ... Who knows. But whoever this person is, it's clear that he's insane and needs to be dealt with. He has all of Cho's powers and abilities.. But he seems to also developed alot of additional weaknesses. This should be easy.. I guess? o_O

[Admiral44]

Kas-*rubbing his head* ...I don't get it. But, whatever... I've never needed a reason to protect the village before... o_O'' *draws Mo Jao and gets in stance* ...But, I dunno if I can go all out like this... T_T Nolan-*draws his axe, which happens to be a Short Axe* Hmm... I don't think we have a choice. Kas-*sighs* ...That's true. Cless-... Kas-*dashes at Cho?* Sorry, Cho-san! But, I can't hold back any! Nolan-*swings arm back and then throws his Short Axe, it heading right at Cho?* Ray-... (Something's not right...)

[Magoseong]

Aruke-A-and.. I'll just sit here and watch you guys fight. ^_^ Junko-Hey! -_- That's not gunna happen.. Aruke-B-But.. o_O'' Junko-I mean.. We can't have the two of us not doing anything, hmm? Aruke-Wait.. What?! Junko-Go back them up! Aruke-... Kouta-... So there's no other way? Junko-... *looks at Kouta* Your help is crucial here. Go in and try to cut off Cho's wave motions with your ability. If you manage to weaken Cho's surge level by cutting off his internal wave motions, then maybe we won't have to fight.. Kouta-?! J-Junko-san! I can't do that! I mean.. Junko-... Your right. His surge level's too high for this kind of method - there's a risk that you might critcally damage his spinal cord and paralyze him.. You might even kill him. I suppose knocking him out cold by using lots of painful attacks sounds better here. ^_^ Kouta-... ... ... I don't.. I can't do it. I'm sorry.. Junko-Ah.. Whatever. >_< Aruke-W-wait! If Kouta's not doin anything, then-- Junko-Just shut up.. I just wanna get this "Boss Fight" over with. Aruke-... What? o_O Cho?-Aaugh..!! *swings his right claw, sending a wave of strange blue electricuted liquid to crash into Kas, pushing him back* Majinken!! Junko-!! W-what the..?! This type of energy Cho's using.. It's..? Cho?-Aagh..!! *gets hit by the Short Axe and slides back* ...!! [Cho? loses 100 hp] Cho?-... *quickly grabs the Short Axe, then tosses it back - the Short Axe gets surrounded in the strange blue liquid from earlier* Gurenken!! The Short Axe explodes into a blue eruption of radiance. Junko-!! *jumps back and avoids, covering his face from the eruption* Aah! Aruke-*gets hit and flies back, vanishing into the distance* Wuaah!!... >_< Kouta-!! *gets hit but manages to protect herself somewhat, only sliding back* Aaaaah!! *falls down on her knees, coughing* Ugh! ... Junko-... *rubs his head* (Those two attacks were way too powerful.. -_-'') *looks back* Hey! Soldiers were luckily out of range from the attack. Junko-... You guys better back away.. Soldier 1-Er.. Y-Yes! Right! The soldiers slowly withdraw.. Junko-... *looks back at Cho?* Man.. Cho?-... Ha.. Ha.. *walks foward, holding his neck* ... R-.. Reo.. Junko-... Cho?-... *quickly dashes foward* Aaagh! Junko-*snaps his fingers and points at Cho?* PK Thunder!! A swift lightning bolt bursts out from Junko's body, homing on Cho? and striking him. Cho?-!! Aaaugh!! *flies back and crashes into the ground, being electricuted constantly* [Cho? loses a massive amount of 50,000 hp] Junko-Eh? o_O Cho?-*holds his head* Aaaugh!! Aaaaghh!! Junko-... Interesting. I never knew you had a weakness to electrical attacks, "Cho". Cho?-... *slowly gets up, twicthing constantly* Hah.. Hah.. Junko-Nevertheless.. *brings his hand close in* ...

[Admiral44]

Kas-*slid back far to previous attacks* G-ggg! Damn! *looks at Ray* Ray-san! Help us! Ray-... Kas-Tsk. Nolan-*quickly dashes forward, quickly grabbing his axe and swings it, causing a shockwave to head at Cho?* Demon Fang! Kas-*quickly spins and swings sword, causing a green beam to head at Cho?* Souhajin! Ray-*quickly stomps, causing a small and slight tremor to head at Cho?* ...

[Magoseong]

Cho?-Agh..!! *quickly pushes his hands against the ground, jumping up into the air - he manages to dodge all the attacks* Agh! *lands in a spot away from everyone* Ugh.. *holds his chest, coughing out blood* Junko-... *stands up completely straight, getting out of his battle stance* Hmm.. Soldier 1-... Junko? Cho?-*holds his head, which slightly changes form* Aaugh.. *his voice changes to that of Adaki's* Aaaagh..!!! Everyone-?! Half of Cho's face mutates into a deformed image of Adaki's face.. Junko-...!! A-Adaki..?! Cho?-Aaaugh.. *covers half of his face - the part that looks like Adaki* I.. What's wrong with me..?! ... I.. I still haven't developed.. My form..? I thought.. Junko-...? Cho?-*falls down on his knees, covering his face in shame* I.. can't remember anymore.. *takes his hands off and looks at them strangely* ... Soldier 1-W-what's going on?! Is it Adaki?! Junko-I'm sensing some of Adaki's presense.. But I'll bet my ass that this is clearly not Adaki we're dealing with! Nor is it Cho.. Soldier 1-... Junko-Damn.. I'm picking up huge ammount of surge energy coming from him! It's unbearable! Cho?-... *grabs half of his face - Adaki's face - and rips it off* Aaaaugh!!! Junko-!! Cho?-... *looks down at the ground - his face is splurting out strange blue liquid* I.. I am Cho.. Aren't I..? The imposter's body slowly reverts back to normal - changing back to Cho's appearence. Cho?-... *slowly gets up, holding his head* A-augh.. I.. I don't feel well.. Junko-... Cho?-H-Help.. Help me.. Suddenly a huge stream of lava strikes the imposter from behind. Cho?-!! Aaaaggh!!! *falls down* Junko-?! W-what the?! ????-Jeez.. So this is the "Worm's" new form? What a waste.. A man in a strange silver suit with large shoulder guards appears from the distance, walking towards the imposter - who's body is shrouded in flames. [Cho? loses 50,000 hp] Junko-... And you are? o_O Cho?-A-aaugh.. Suddenly, ice spreads of the imposter's body - freezing him to the ground. Cho?-!! Aaaahh!! Aagh..!! Augh..!! [Cho? loses 50,000 hp] A young woman with long blonde hair, wearing a green lolita styled dress appears alongside the man in the silver suit. ?????-So.. this is the "Worm" Lady Cynthia was talking about. Junko-Worm? o_O'' Cho?-U-uaagh..!! *coughs, breathing heavily* ... The two strangers stand beside the imposter. ????-Teh.. *steps on the imposter's head* Cho?-Augh! ... Junko-... *rubs his head* Hey.. Don't be so hard on him. ?????-Oh? *looks at Junko* And who might all of you be? Junko-*sweatdrops* ... What? You just realized us here? -_- And besides that, I should be the one asking that question! >_< ... Who the hell are you two? ?????-Hmph! My, you ask in such a rude manner! As expected from someone with your poor appearence. Junko-Just answer my question. -_- I'm a blunt ass, so just deal with it. Quartz-Very well - I am Quartz. And this is my "beloved" friend, Ferrum. Ferrum-Teh.. *takes his foot off of the imposter's head* Soldier 1-Quartz?! Ferrum?! You two are from the Class SA divison! What are Class SA soldiers doing here?! Junko-Class SA? I thought it only went up to Class S. Soldier 1-Class SA Holy Circle members are special troops that are chosen under certain circumstances. There's no training for Class SA. All of the Class SA soldiers are incredibly powerful - with all due respect, they might even be more powerful then you and your friends Junko.. Junko-... Yeah, right. >_> (I doubt it.) Cho?-Aaugh..!! *breaks free from the ice and leaps back, away from everyone* Aauh..!! Quartz-!! Hey! Ferrum-Teh! *dashes at Cho?* Not so fast, scum! Cho?-Teh! *a large energy wave pushes Ferrum back* Ferrum-*slides back slightly* Grr.. The imposter vanishes.. Ferrum-Grr.. Goddamnit! He escaped!! Quartz-Don't worry.. The worm's probably too weak to do anything mischeivous. Ferrum-... Junko-... *looks around* Well.. We should clean up the mess here..

Afterwards..
Several injured and dead soldiers that were attacked by the imposter are seen being carried by medics. Aruke and Kouta are sitting down, leaning against a house - looking around. Everyone else is standing in front of Quartz and Ferrum, along with the Holy Circle Commander - Cynthia. They're having a dicussion. Junko-*looks around* ... So what exactly did we encounter? From the moment I saw him, I knew we were fighting an imposter.. Cynthia-... It's a creature called Nihil. Junko-Nihil? Cynthia-... A parasitic creature that thrives by gathering and absorbing DNA from living organisms. Junko-... So your saying.. Cynthia-Nihil managed to copy Cho's DNA.. All of his memories and abilities. Kliser-... So, it was just a monster that was copied Cho's memories.. Junko-*looks at Kliser, then looks at Cynthia* During our encounter.. A part of Nihil's face transformed into Adaki's.. Does that mean-- Cynthia-I'm assuming it's previous form was Adaki. It must have also absorbed Adaki's DNA before. Junko-So that's why.. *rubs his chin* It must have been desperate and wanted to take on a new form. Because Cho fatally injured Adaki, or Nihil.. In a pinch, it destoryed the bridge and absorbed Cho's DNA.. Cynthia-... Junko-... Kliser-Commander.. What happens to those that have their DNA absorbed by this Nihil thing? Ferrum-What do you think? They die! -_- Quartz-Ferrum! Ferrum-What? Kliser-... So it's settled. Cho's truly dead.. Cynthia-Kliser.. I'm sorry. Kliser-... *walks away* Junko-... *coughs* So, Cynthia.. What do we do about this Nihil creature? Cynthia-It's grown a psychotic behavior. And it seems to be deeply attached to Cho's memories as it claims that it is Cho.. It will probably-- Junko-Because of Reo's death.. Nihil's probably gunna wreck havoc on the world? For revenge or something, right? Cynthia-That would be most likely.. But regardless of whatever it's intentions are, we'll need to find Nihil and stop it. Junko-Are you giving us a troublesome mission? -_- Cynthia-Yes.. But I'm also giving you an option. You don't have to take this mission.. Junko-Oh, goody! ^_^ Cynthia-But I suggest you do.. It'll be a great help to us. Junko-I'll think about it.. Cynthia-... By the way. Have you found anything at the strange signal? Junko-O-oh! No.. We were still investigating until you guys informed us about the village being attacked by Cho. Cynthia-I see. Junko-Don't worry.. I'll go there again tommorow to check it out once more. Right now.. I'm a bit tired. Cynthia-Very well.. Junko-... *looks at where Kliser went* Aruke-*appears beside Junko* Is Kliser gunna be okay, Junko? o_O Junko-... It'll take some time. Aruke-By the way.. What's going on here? Junko-Oh.. Nothing. *coughs*

[Admiral44]

Cless-Commander Cynthia, shall I join them? They'll need as much help as possible, to sound of things... Kas-*rubbing his head, ignoring Cless* Well... Hmm. Might be kinda tricky... I'd like to help you, but.. This is my last day, for the time being. So, you'll have to ask Clay-niisan seperately if he wants to help and you'll have to fill him in on everything... I think he'll help, though. No reason for him not to... But.. *looks at Junko* What exactly were we investigating, Uncle Junko? I don't like being left in the dark, especially if I'm gonna be asleep the next three days.. T_T Ray-*suddenly walks off* ... Nolan-*notices Ray* Huh? Ray? Ray-I'll be back in a bit. *disappears around a corner* Nolan-Hmm...

[Magoseong]

Cynthia-*looks at Cless* I gurantee that they'll be fine on their own. I want you to come with us for the time being.. Junko-*looks at Kas* I forgot. Don't worry bout it.. Enjoy your three days off, Kas. *yawns* Cynthia-... Junko-Well.. Cynthey.. Hopefully we can find Nihil before he ends up doing something awful.. In the meantime, I'm gunna go get some sleep. I'm still exhausted from yesterday.. Cynthia-Just a small advice for you and your friends. If you manage to find Nihil.. Don't underestimate it's powers. This creature is extraoridinary.. And with Cho's abilities. Junko-Don't worry.. I'm not usually the one who gets c[i]o[i/]cky about these sorta things. Cynthia-Alright.. Junko-Anyway.. Good luck. And good night.. Cynthia-... Junko is seen leaving.. The day fast fowards.

The next day..
Somewhere near Mystic Village, a weak life is slowly recovering..
Weak voice-... ... ... U-uh.. Uaagh.. W-wha? ... W-where am I? *sits up* Ugh.. Ow, ow.. My head..! Damnit.. ... *looks around* ... *stands up, then walks around* What happened? ... I was at the bridge and.. Segma.. I was trying to save Taro, Emeta, Ken.. and the others.. *holds his head* ... Adaki?! N-no.. It's not Adaki - it was something else.. But.. what? *rubs his forehead* Agh.. I'm exhausted. My head's a mess.. *looks around and notices Mystic Village in the distance* I.. should get back home and get some rest. I'll figure this out later..

At Mystic Village Entrance..
Cho-*looks around* ... It's so quiet here. o_O That's strange.. *walks foward* Where is everyone? It's not usual for the village to be this quiet and empty.. >_> *looks around again* Did somethin happen? ... *walks foward* I don't like this.. >_<

In Mystic Village..
Cho-Jeez.. Still no sign of anyone. *looks around and notices something* Huh? ... *runs toward a gravestone and stops in front of it* This.. I don't remember this.. *kneels down and reads* ... This is where.. Reo? !! *gets up* Reo!! That's right! Reo was killed!! ... It was Adaki who killed him. Damnit.. *looks down at the gravestone, then places his hand on it* Reo.. Sorry. I should have done something.. *suddenly smiles* But I swear! I'll make it up to you! I promise! *notices another gravestone beside Reo's* Hnn? Wait.. Who's this? *walks toward the next gravestone and kneels down, reading* ... This one's.. Cho? *jumps back in shock* ?!! This gravestone's.. Mine?! I'm dead? o_O *holds his head* W-wait?! Does that mean I'm a ghost?! ... ... ... Of course not. I'm being silly.. I must have been away for a long time. Everyone must think I'm dead.. ... ... ... Footsteps are heard nearby.. Cho-? Huh? *looks back* Who's there? Voice-*whispers* H-hey.. It's Cho! He's back again! W-what do we do? Voice 2-*whispers* W-we should go inform Junko and the others.. Voice 3-*whispers* No! I say we fight him! He's a monster! We have to stop him! Voice 2-B-but.. Cho is leaning over three kids (it's Ken, Taro and Emeta). Cho-H-hey.. What are you whispering about? Ken-!! W-watch out!! *dashes away* Emeta-!! *follows Ken* Aah!! Cho-?! W-what?! o_O Taro-*slowly walks away* C-Cho-san..! N-no.. Wait.. Your not.. Cho-Huh? T-Taro! Wait a minute! Taro-*follows Emeta and Ken* Eeh!! Cho-?! H-hey!! *chases after them* Wait! Where are you going?! o_O *suddenly stops* ... W-why were they scared of me? I saw it in their eyes.. They were terrified of me for some reason. Is.. Is something wrong with me? ... *grabs his face* ... *takes his hands off and walks foward* I guess I'll just head home..

Meanwhile, somewhere else in Mystic Village..
Junko-*coughs* Well.. Are you guys ready to head back to that place? We still haven't finished our investigation.. There's a boy with dog ears, wearing a dark red tunic and green short pants beside Junko. This is Kelos. Kelos-I apperciate that your bringing me along to this investigation, Junko.. ^_^ I missed out alot this week.. I haven't gotten to do much eversince I caught the flu.. *sniffs* Junko-... Aruke and Kouta both refused to go. I had to bring you along at least.. Kelos-Hah.. Junko-... Getting back down's gunna be a problem. For some reason, I can't contact Kiyu.. Has anyone seen that stupid mutt? Kelos-*coughs* Mutt's an offensive word to me, Junks. >_< Junko-(Junks? ^_^'') ...

[Admiral44]

Clarth-*looking around* Huh... I wonder where Clay-niisan is at? He must still be asleep.. Ray-... *looks down at Clarth* What are you doing here, Clarth? Clarth-Well, I'm going with you guys, of course! ^_^ Ray-...No you're not. Your sister will chew my butt off. -_-'' Clarth-Hmm... So, what! She won't ever find out! ^_^ Ray-*sighs* ...Junko, we're gonna be short on some people. Nolan won't be able to accompany us today... So-- ?????-I guess I'll take his place, then. Ray-*turns around, noticing Soren walking towards everyone* Ahh.. Soren-san. Soren-Yeah. Well.. Considering I'm a Holy Circle researcher, I should accompany you. Ray-...Right. But, the question is.. *rubs head* How are we gonna get down there without Kiyu's help? I mean.. I guess I could summon Driger... But--

Meanwhile,
Clay-*is randomly walking around the village, having his arms wrapped around his head* ...Wuaah... Damn. Where are we supposed to meet again? Clarth said.. Somewhere, but I don't remember.. He said it while I was still asleep. T_T *suddenly walks by the place Cho was just at* Hmm? Where'd these--?... o_O'' *kneels down and examines them* W-wait.. For.. Reo?! *looks at the other one* C-Cho?! *stands up straight* Wait a minute, what the hell happened while I was asleep?! Did Segma--... No, it couldn't of been Segma. 'Cuz then, we'd be dead, too... Right? I was there and then I--... *holds head* I don't remember anything that happened after that.. But, Kas was only here for two days, so he got knocked unconscious, so.. *hides face in hands* Arghh!! Damnit! I couldn't help them! And now.. They're dead?... B-but.. I.. He.. *falls down on knees and hides face in hands* ... Cia-*standing behind a tree, leaning against it, with her eyes closed* ... (Clay..)

Meanwhile,
Then, suddenly, Sasuke appears in a tornado of leaves, wearing his classic costume. Sasuke-I'll be coming, as well. Soren-Sasuke? Are you sure? Did Cia heal you completely? Sasuke-Of course. She's exceptional at healing, why wouldn't she be able to? Soren-I dunno.. You were hurt pretty bad. Sasuke-... Ray-... Clarth-*rubbing his head* ...

[Magoseong]

Junko-I think it's best that we bring Sasuke along. Just don't get reckless. Kelos-Junko.. Are you alright? Your not acting your usual self.. *sniffs* Junko-... I'm a little tensed about this Nihil creature we have to deal with. Kelos-Hmm? Junko-... I dunno why.. But I think everyone should be a little more intimidated by a psychotic creature that has the ability to absorb and steal a living organism's DNA. It was able to take Cho's memories and abilities.. It was able to mimick these perfectly. If I became victimized by this Nihil creature.. Nihil would act just like me. He would look like me.. And he would even have my memories and knowledge. Kelos-... Junko-It's an extremely dangerous threat - far more dangerous then our previous enemies. I don't like Cynthia's plan on "stopping" this creature.. I'll negotiate with her later about this matter - in the meantime.. If any of you come in contact with Nihil, I want you to run away. Kelos-Run away? Junko-Yeah.. run away. If you see Nihil or discover it's identity under it's disguised form, then run. I don't want any of you to fight it.. yet. Ken's voice-Uncle Junko!! >_< Junko-? Huh? Ken, Emeta and Taro arrives.. They're out of breathes from running. Junko-... What is it? -_- We're busy.. We gotta go-- Ken-C-Cho.. I mean.. That monster's back!! He's in the village right now!! Junko-?!! W-what?! He's already back for more? o_O Jeez.. That was fast. Kelos-... Should we run away then? o_O Junko-Er.. This is an exception. ^_^'' I didn't expect Nihil to return so early.. And since it's in the village, we'll have to do drive it out. Last time, I remember electricity, ice and fire was very effective against the creature.. You guys should use that as an advantage. I doubt we'll be able to kill it now.. But we should at least drive it out of our village. Ken-G-Go get him! I can't stand him making Cho look bad!! Taro-... K-Ken.. Emeta-... Junko-Don't worry.. Anyways, let's get going quickly. Kelos-...

Meanwhile,
Cho-... *rubbing his stomach* I'm hungry. When's the last time I ate? -_-'' *looks down to the side, looking depressed* ... Reo. You told me to take care of myself from now.. Right? ... Damnit. Why did you have to die? *clenches his fist* ... *suddenly smiles* Heh, getting depressed is embarassing. I can't let this bother me too much. It would piss off Reo.. Heh heh. I'll just have to get stronger next time to prevent this sort of thing from happening again.. It's probably what Reo would want. He wouldn't want me to cry.. Because it's just not my style. *vein pops out* He's probably laughing at me! Teh! I'll show him!

[Admiral44]

Then, suddenly a young child comes out from a ramen shop, noticing Cho. Kid-Lalalala-- *notices Cho* E-ehhh?! A-ahhh!! The monster's back!! >_<'' *runs back into the ramen shop and suddenly a very loud woman's scream can be heard from behind Cho* ... ... ...

Meanwhile,
Clay-*can hear the lady's scream and falls over* ... ... ... *jumps up, brushing self off* What's goin' on? -_-'' *disappears into lines* Cia-*looks from behind the tree* ...

Meanwhile, back.
Clay-*suddenly appears in front of Cho* Hey, what's goin' on-- *notices Cho* Ehh?! *falls forward, landing flat on his face* ... ... ... *jumps up and grabs Cho by the shoulders* Ayy, Cho! You're alive! Which is funny, 'cuz.. Did you know that there's a Headstone for you not to far from here? And Reo's, too? Why is that?... o_O''

[Magoseong]

Cho-H-Huh?! *turns around and faces toward Clay* K-Kas..? Wait.. No.. Clay! The headstone? ... Oh, well.. I guess there was a misunderstanding about my status. But don't worry! Now that I'm back.. *looks around* Say.. What's going on? A kid just came out and called me a monster..? Taro, Ken and Emeta all ran away from me.. They were scared, of me. I'm lost.. Is something going on? Is something wrong with me? Kelos-You betch your ass, faker!! Cho-?! What? Kelos appears behind Cho, smacking his fist across Cho's face.. Cho-!! *slides to the side and falls over* Ugh! Junko-*appears behind Clay and grabs his shirt, pulling him back* Careful, Clay.. Cho-*rubbing his cheek, slowly getting up* O-oww.. >_< Wha.. What was that for?! Kelos-*standing beside Junko, drawing out his sword* Don't play around.. I might have not been there at the time - but I've been told everything! Your some kind of monster impersonating Cho - right!? Cho-..?! W-what? o_O *gets up slowly* Monster? I'm not a monster impersonating.. Ah! It's me Cho! Kelos-Teh! That's exactly what the monster said! -_- You can't fool me! Junko-... *looks at Clay* Clay.. I forgot to inform you about this.. >_>'' But, this isn't Cho. There's a creature called Nihil who has the ability to absorb DNA from any living organism.. It managed to get a sample of Cho's DNA.. Don't get fooled by it's appearence. He may act like Cho in every way.. He even has all of his memories. But the real Cho's dead. Cho-Junko! What are you talking about!? o_O I'm not dead!! I really am Cho! Kelos-Save it, faker! Don't waste your breath! Cho-*sweats* S-Sh!t.. (I can't convince them.. I dunno what exactly's going on but.. it looks like I'm in trouble.) Kelos-So.. We use electrical attacks right? And fire and ice? Right? Junko-Yeah.. Kelos-Alright! I'll just bash him here and there.. Cho-... (What options do I have? I can't fight my friends.. But can I really run away from this? I guess I'll just.. have to defend myself until this gets settled.) *gets in a fighting stance* ... (Damnit.. I don't have any weapons.. I'm fighting against my friends.. And I'm starving.. This doesn't look good.)

[Admiral44]

Clay-*rubbing his head* W-what are you talking about? Nihil? Dna absorbed? What are you--?... o_O'' Ray-*crosses arms* ... (I don't understand... Why would it be back so soon?...) *gets in stance* Oh, well! *dashes at Cho* Sasuke-*looks at Soren* ...Soren. Do you notice it, too? Soren-...Yeah. But, just to be safe... *starts chanting* Sasuke-... *smirks* (How ridiculous. Can't think things through, can only brashly run into things.. How naive.)

[Magoseong]

Junko-*looks at Clay* Just.. Don't worry about it. Stay back. *starts chanting* Cho-*looks at Ray* Teh..! *starts dashing sideways - circling around Ray* Kelos-*steps in front of Cho* Hey! *swings his sword* Seiyaah! Cho-!! *ducks down and rolls on the ground sideways, then jumps up - away from Kelos* Eh! Kelos-Hah! Not so fast! *chases after Cho and thrusts his sword foward, into Cho* Raijinken! A lightning bolt crashes down on top of Cho. Cho-!! Aaugh! *flies back and crashes down on the ground* Ugh! Junko-... *points his finger at Cho* Burst! A quick eruption of fire rushes out from underneath Cho. Cho-!! *sprials into the air* Ugh!! (S-Shoot!) Kelos-Eat this!! Hou'ou Tenkou!! *leaps high into the air and transforms into a firey phoenix* Hyaah!! *divebombs straight down through Cho's body* Cho-!! Aauagh!! *crashes down into the ground, causing a pit to appear* Ugh! ... Kelos-*lands on the ground safely, reverting back to normal* Haha! *faces toward Cho* That's it! ^_^ Cho-... U-ugh.. *slowly gets up, rubbing his forehead* O-oww.. -_- Kelos-... Tch! Your pretty persisent. Cho-... *stands up straight and looks around* ... *holds his arm* Ngh.. (This isn't good.. I can't defend myself either!) Kelos-Teh! Junko! He's not so tough! *runs at Cho* I can finish him off!! Junko-Hold on!! Hey!! >_< Cho-!! W-wait a minute!! K-Kelos!! Kelos-*leaps foward and raises his sword high into the air* Eat this!! Hyaaaah!! Cho-!! *falls down and sheilds himself with his arms* Aaah!! Kelos-*his sword suddenly breaks apart* H-huh?! o_O *gets hit by something and slides back* Ugh!! *falls down* Oof! >_< Cho-... ... ...? H-huh? o_O *looks up and notices a blonde haired girl wielding a single bladed sword standing in front of him* ..?! W-who.. o_O ????-... *looks at Cho, looking concerned* C-Cho.. Cho-Huuh? Kelos-*gets up and shakes his head* O-ow.. What the heck? >_< ... *notices his sword and depression lines appear over his face* !! Agh! My sword!! >_< Not again.. T-T *jumps up and points at ????* You b!tch!! >_< I'm gunna make you pay for this!! Junko-... And who are you? ????-... *looks at Junko* I'm just a tourist. Junko-Tourist, huh? Your a pretty cute tourist. ????-... Junko-Listen.. Your in our way - that guy there.. He's a monster. ????-Monster? Why are you talking about him like that? I thought he was a hero.. He was the one who defeated Yanoku, wasn't he? And not to mention, isn't he your friend? Junko-It's an imposter. The real Cho was killed by this imposter. I advise you to step away lady.. This target's dangerous. Cho-..!? W-wha.. o_O *looks dumbfounded* W-wait.. I killed myself? -_- *shakes his head* But I'm not an imposter! ????-... You honestly believe this one's the imposter? Can't you see that he's Cho? Junko-If you don't get out of the way - I'll be forced to attack you too. Your cute and all, so it would be heartbreaking for me to hurt you. ????-...

[Admiral44]

Clay-*suddenly appears in front of the girl and Cho* Alright, that's enough! I don't understand any of this, so there's no point in me choosing the side that I don't agree with or understand! You say that this Cho's an "imposter", and from what I understand, that he/she/it was here just a day ago! Why would it be back so soon, still pretending to be Cho?! I don't get it! Not even Segma's that persistent! -_-'' Ray-Clay, move! *looks at ????* You, too, Miss! No need for anyone else to get hurt! Clay-*looks at Ray* ...You didn't listen to one word I said, did you?.. -_- Soren-*stops chanting* ... Sasuke-...Hmhmhm.

[Magoseong]

Junko-... Cho-J-Junko.. Look.. I.. I'm not sure what exactly happened. But.. I swear I'm Cho! You gotta believe me on this.. Junko-... Sorry. I can't take the risk.. Cho-!? W-wait.. What?! Junko-*looks at Clay, then at ????* Sorry.. Looks like I don't really have much of a choice but to hurt you two. ????-... Fine. Junko-... *starts chanting* Cho-J-Junko! You can't be serious!! *suddenly walks foward and stands in front of ???? and Clay* Junko-... Cho-Alright! Fine! I admit it!! I am an imposter!! I'm not the real Cho!! I'm a fake! So.. Attack me!! Leave these two outta this!! ????-C-Cho..! Junko-... Cho-I won't let others get hurt because of me.. Junko-... Kelos-J-Junko.. This.. This really seems like the real Cho.. M-maybe it's a mistake? Junko-... *stops chanting* Maybe.. Cho-J-Jun.. *suddenly smiles in relief* Junko!! Junko-... *smirks nefariously and snaps his fingers* Alright! Cho-? Suddenly Quartz, Ferrum appear. Cho-..!? *suddenly makes a really dumbfounded expression* H-huh! ^_^'' W-what's this? Junko-Thanks for showing up.. I suppose. Quartz-Haha! I saw you getting a bit soft there, Junky! Junko-... Just hurry up. Ferrum-Teh! You ain't escaping me this time, Worm!! Cho-... Quartz-So, Junky.. What do you want us to do? Junko-... Just drive Nihil out of here. Quartz-... A-Aww.. That's it? Junko-If your able to, I want you to kill him. Cho-?! H-Huh!! Junko!!! Quartz-Ohh.. Okay! ^_^ Junko-... Cho-J-Junko.. Ferrum-Hey.. What about those two? *points at ???? and Clay* Junko-... Don't kill them. If they get in your way, knock them out. ????-Your making a mistake here! Junko-... Sorry.. You two just don't get it. ????-Can't you see?! This is Cho! He helped you so many times before Junko! Junko-... How would you know that? ????-..!! I.. Uhm.. Junko-... I'm getting a bit suspicious of you. I doubt your just a tourist. Change of plans - I want you two to capture that girl. Quartz-Capture? Junko-It's a second priority - I want you to focus on Nihil. Ferrum-... Whatever. Let's go, Quartz! Quartz-Right! Cho-Damnit..! ????-... Junko-... *looks at Clay* Clay - I'm gunna offer you to the choice.. Either get out of the way or get pummeled by these two. And to reply back to what you said earlier.. This creature, this imposter thinks it's really Cho. It probably, in confusion and in panic, returned back to the village for refuge. It was probably the only place in it's mind at the moment.. Cho-... ... ... (T.. This imposter of mine thinks it's me?) Junko-Under normal circumstances, I wouldn't actually mind having Nihil stay here.. But Nihil has developed a psychotic mind. Last time, Nihil attacked the village in complete rage.. We can't take any risk - we'll have to get rid of this imposter before it causes any more damage. Cho-... Junko-... I can understand that your lost but.. Trust me! Cho's dead! That isn't Cho!! So hurry up and get your ass back here!

[Admiral44]

Clay-... *rubs head and then suddenly smirks* Huh. What a "choice". Sounds more like a threat to me, so.. *draws out Vague Katti and gets in stance* I'll stick with the side that hasn't threaten me yet. Even if that means fighting you.. *in Kas's tone of voice* Uncle Junko. ^_^ Sasuke-*bursts out laughing* Ahahahaha!! Soren-*sweatdrops* ...? o_O'' Sasuke-How straightforward of you, Clay! It's the right choice, though. *suddenly walks off* Hahaha.. That made my day. Clay-*smirks* At least one person understands. Ray-*looks at Sasuke* Sasuke? What are you--?... o_O'' Clay-*suddenly appears behind Ray* Oy, get ready! I'm not playing around, here! *roundhouse kicks Ray* Ray-*gets hit and slides forward* Grauh! >_<'' Soren-Tsk. Clay, are you really fighting us over this?! Why can't you think things through, instead of charging in head first?! Clay-*smiles* 'Cuz I'm a Tenshin and that's what we do. If there's something we don't understand about a situation, we just go with the side that we think is in the right... *rests Vague Katti on shoulder* Isn't that correct, Cia-niisama? ^_^ Cia-*sitting in a tree that's behind Clay (facing everyone else), she's looking amused* Yup. Clarth-*hiding behind the tree, watching everyone, but is barely visible* ... Clay-*looks at Cho and ????* Oy.. "Nihil" or whatever it is they called you... *shakes head* Screw it. Cho! Umm... Miss Tourist! We're carving our way out of here! *looks forward at everyone, looking serious* So, let's go, if you wanna live! *looks at Cia* That sound good, Cia-sama? Cia-Do whatever you want, Clay. Just don't go tearing down anything.. *yawns, looking bored now..* This is out of my hands. (But, if they so much as a lay a hand on you, I'll have to step in...) Clay-*smirks* Thanks. *suddenly spins around and thrusts Vague Katti into the ground, causing a huge shockwave heads at everyone* Tsk. Soren-*jumps out of the way* Damnit, Clay! How ridiculous! We're gonna have to knock some sense into you, I guess!

[Magoseong]

Ferrum-*gets hit by the shockwave but it barely did anything* Hmph.. Heh. Quartz-*jumps out of the way* Whoa! Junko-*gets hit on purpose, sliding back a bit* Ngh.. ... Ferrum-Tch.. I guess this means we gotta deal with this kid, eh? Junko-... Ferrum-So, what? You want us to bash him around? Knock im him out? Junko-... *looks down, then looks at Clay* No. Ferrum-Hmm? Junko-I want you.. to "kill" Clay. Everyone-?!! Quartz-Huh? Seriously?! Cho-J-Junko.. Kelos-Junko?! Wait a minute!! Junko-If Clay can easily get manipulated like this, thinking what he's doing is "right".. I can't allow that. Quartz-Er.. Well.. If you say so, Junky. Ferrum-... Teh, it doesn't matter to me. The more kills, the better. Junko-Don't hold back you two.. I want you to fight full power. Ferrum-Full power? Haha! Alright! I'm starting to like your style! Junko-... *a dark, eerie glyph appears underneath him - the glyph is pouring out a strange stream of dark energy* ... Quartz-*looks at Junko* Hmm? Are you using forbidden magic? o_O Junko-... Normally, I tend to avoid using such dangerous attacks.. But this is an exception. Quartz-... Your really gunna kill them, Junky? O_O Junko-... Cho-J-Junko.. You.. your really going to.. ????-T-this isn't good. I never expected it to get this bad.. Cho-... Junko-... *swings his arm* Hnn! A black bolt strikes both Cho and Clay down, dealing immense damage.. Cho-!! Uaagh!! *falls down on one knee, coughing out blood* ????-!! C-Cho!! Junko-... I wasn't kidding, in case you thought I was bluffing. Cho-... Ugh!! Aagh..!! D-Drat..!! ????-... Kelos-H-Hey.. Junko! Think about what your doing! You can't kill Clay! You'll kill Kas first of all!! T_T And what about Cia?! Do you realize how much-- Junko-I'll take full responsibility. Kelos-... Junko. Junko-...

[Admiral44]

Soren-J-Junko! Don't be ridiculous! Clay-*down on one knee, bleeding from his forehead* ... ... ... Ray-W-what are you doing, Junko?! *turns around, facing Junko* I can't allow this!! Killing this fake is one thing, but killing Clay and Kas is a whole 'nother object! Doing this will-- Sasuke-*suddenly standing behind Junko, leaning against him, back to back* Would make you the number one enemy of Mystic Village... Heh. Ray-Sasuke... Cia-*smirks* "Take full responsibilty?" How nice of you... But, tell me. Why would you say that when I'm standing right here? You actually think I'd allow you to kill my little brothers?.. How ridiculous. And even if you DID kill Clay, you'd probably see him in a couple of days... Killing Clay is basically making an enemy of the whole village, Clay is loved throughout the country, especially his home. They would never allow you to get away with this... And neither would I. I wasn't gonna interfere if you were to kill the so-called "fake".. I wasn't even gonna interfere if you hurt Clay... But, once you say you're gonna "kill" him... *takes out her staff* That's when you anger me... Clay-Heh. Leave it alone. Let Junko do what he wants... Soren-? Ray-?! C-Clay.. Sasuke-... Cia-... Clay-*stands up, wobbling a bit* Whoa--.. *shakes head, wiping some blood of his forehead* I mean, he says I'm "manipulated". He says I'm on the "wrong side". Now, tell me... Neither Cho or I have done anything with the intention to kill... And suddenly we have to die? What the hell? How can you possibly expect me to trust your side if you're the ones threatening my life?! I'm really starting to wonder who the "fake" is around here! *gets in stance and his eyes are glowing green* It'd be one thing if this were normal circumstances, but it's not! I can't let you kill me, 'cuz killing me is killing Kas! I won't let that happen! I won't let you kill Cho, either! *glances at Sasuke* ... Sasuke-...

[Magoseong]

Junko-... Kelos-J-Junko.. Cho-... Junko-... Ferrum-Heh.. Jeez. Can we just get this over with? T_T Quartz-*looks around* H-Hmm.. Junko-Your not leaving me much options. I won't kill you if you just get back on our side.. This.. Isn't Cho! Cho's dead!! This is an imposter!! Don't be fooled like this, Clay!! Cho-... Junko-This imposter's the one who killed him!! You shouldn't be on his side!! ... The threats I'm making might seem cold-hearted and hostile. But.. I'm trying to get you in the correct spot here! I wasn't kidding around when I said I'll kill you, Clay. Even if it means killing Kas.. Even if it means making myself the biggest enemy here. I could care less about what the consequences will be afterwards.. But, if you continue this idiocy, I'll have no choice but to "kill" you and Nihil! Cho-... It's.. weird. I could never imagine Junko saying all that.. Junko-..?! W-what are you talking about? Cho-... The real Junko wouldn't get so worked up on something like this. He's not that kind of person.. Junko-...?! ????-..? C-Cho? Cho-*stands up straight and looks at Junko* He would act calmly.. And he'd never use the words "kill" that often. Also.. That kind of magic your using - The Junko I.. "Cho" knew never used anything like that before. Junko-... What are you trying to say? Cho-... Maybe Clay's right. Maybe I'm not the fake one around here! Maybe it's you!! Junko-?!! W-what?! Your insane!! Kelos-J-Junko..?! o_O W-wha.. I'm confused here!! Who's the enemy..?! Ferrum-... I have to admit, that type of energy rushing out from you seems suspicious. Quartz-Ooh.. I sense something. ^_^ Junko-*starts sweating* Wh.. Hey! Cut it out! Don't let him fool you! He's trying to trick you guys! He already tricked Clay!! Don't fall for it!! Everyone-... Junko-... Cho-... Your makeup's wearing off. A part of Junko's face melts off. Junko-..?! *grabs his face* U-ugh..! ... Cho-... So.. I'm the imposter, huh? Saids you.. The Junko imposter rips his entire face off, revealing Cho's face. Cho-..?!! W-what?! Nihil-... *falls down on one knee - his entire body changes from Junko's to Cho's.. he's now talking in Cho's voice* My form's been.. ? I'm already back to normal.. ? Cho-Y-your.. Me...?! T-There really is an imposter of myself?! Nihil-... I.. still haven't developed properly. My powers are far too weak.. I can't stay in another form for too long. Cho-... ????-So.. This is Nihil. Kelos-... This was sudden and unexpected! o_O And.. Kinda ironic. >_<'' But, seriously.. What?! Junko was an imposter?! O_o ... How.. random!! >_< (But.. It does explain a few things that were troubling me.) Nihil-... *looks at Cho, crying - tears dripping down from his face* W-why? Cho-..?! Nihil-... *looks at Clay* Why.. Why did he.. Even though you were expected to be the imposter.. *looks at ????* ... *looks down* ... Why are you even alive..? Your supposed to be dead.. Cho-... Nihil-... I wanted to kill you.. I have to kill you.. For Reo.. Cho-... R-Reo..? Ferrum-Huh! -_- *coughs* Heh heh.. Well, well, well! "Nihil".. Since you've been exposed.. I guess this means, it's time for you to die. It was pretty clever of how you managed to disguise yourself as Junko.. You even had the entire Holy Circle fooled.. But, now.. Nihil-... Ferrum-There's no escape this time, Nihil..

[Admiral44]

Clay-*sweatdrops* ...W-well, then... (How lucky. Good thing I'm a good guesser, I suppose... ^_^'') W-wait a sec, hold on! *looks at Ferrum* You Holy Circle guys actually got deceived by the fake?! Wow! -_-'' *shakes head* But, ignoring that, we can't kill him yet... *walks towards Nihil* We gotta find out what he did with Junko, first. Sheesh, why am I suddenly the smart one today?.. -_-'' Soren-*sweatdrops* ... Ray-! Cia-... Clay-*looks at Nihil* And to answer your question, it's because I have a sixth sense about these type of things. I'm just that good. Junko wouldn't kill me... ^_^ *depression lines appear over head* I don't think... >_<''

[Magoseong]

Quartz-*looks at Clay* You can't really find that surprising.. Nihil is pretty good at impersonating people. He just can't act like Cho for some reason.. o_O'' Nihil-... Ferrum-Ask?! This is the perfect chance to kill this thing!! Who cares about that cowlick idiot! And besides, what makes you think that this thing'll tell ya where he is?! Nihil-... C-Clay.. *gets up, then leaps foward straight at Clay* Ferrum-!! W-wait a minute!! Quartz-!! Nihil-*appears in front of Clay* ... I.. need your help..! *grabs Clay's arm* Ferrum-!! Sh!t!! *dashes at Nihil and Clay* Quartz-*starts chanting* (Ah! So careless!) Kelos-?!! W-what?! Nihil starts absorbing Clay's energy.. Shortly after, Nihil suddenly transforms into Clay. [Oddly enough, Clay was unharmed.] Ferrum-Ack!! He absorbed that kid's DNA!! Quartz-(Agh!) Nihil-... *takes his hand off of Clay quickly* Quartz-*points her finger at Nihil* A burst of fire erupts from underneath Nihil.. Nihil-*looks back* !! *suddenly vanishes* Quartz-...?! W-where'd he go?! Ferrum-*stops in his track* D-Damnit!! It got away!! Kelos-... W-what just happened? o_O Did he just..? Ferrum-Agh! With Clay's speed, it could be anywhere now!! We've lost it completely!!

[Admiral44]

Clay-... ... ... *eyebrow twitches* ... -_-'' Ray-*sweatdrops* ...Clay. Soren-You're an idiot. -_-'' Clay-L-... Like that was my fault!! >_<'' Ray-...Kinda was. Clay-... *whistles* W-well... At least you guys can't get tricked anymore. Heh.. 'Cuz unless it has a piece of Kas's DNA, then you'll know how to figure out which one of us is the real one.. ^_^'' Sasuke-*cracking his knuckles* Knock your dumbass out three times? Clay-*thumbs up* Exactly. ^_^ Ray-*sighs* ...Well... What happens now? Clay-*shrugs* I dunno. Something random?.. o_O''

[Magoseong]

Ferrum-*looks at Clay* Wait a minute.. How come nothing happened to you? Nihil absorbed your DNA.. Yet your still.. *looks at Cho* And same with him! How are you two still alive?! Cho-... I don't even know what's going on anymore - how am I supposed to answer that question? Kelos-... What's wrong with having your DNA absorbed? Ferrum-That's a stupid question - think about it. Kelos-... Ferrum-Having your DNA absorbed is the same as having your blood drained. Kelos-Huh? Ferrum-I suppose your kinda confused with how Nihil's abilities work.. It doesn't just copy DNA.. It actually "steals" DNA. Kelos-Er.. Well.. I suppose Nihil only drained a part of his DNA? o_O Ferrum-No, that still doesn't make any sense.. Even if it was a little sample, his DNA would have completely altered which would result in malignant neoplasm. Kelos-... Malignant.. Neo-what? o_O Ferrum-It's cancer. Kelos-Oh.. (What's cancer again? >_>'' Cell.. Over-reproduction or somethin?) Ferrum-... This is abnormal. *looks at Cho and Clay* You two shouldn't be alive! Kelos-... I dunno about Cho's case.. But.. Maybe for Clay, it has something to do with Kas? o_O Ferrum-The split-personality doesn't change anything.. Regardless, Clay should be dead. ????-... I think there might a logical explanation for this.. Kelos-Wait.. I'm sorry.. Er, who are you? Quartz-*notices ????* You.. Ah, now I recognize you! ????-So you've finally noticed me.. Quartz-Sorry, Seras. It's been such a long time.. Kelos-Seras? o_O Cho-... Seras..? Ferrum-Seras, huh.. So.. What's this logical explanation of yours? Enlighten me.. Seras-Well.. ... ... ... I think it's best that you get these two to a medical center and check on them first. You'll find something "interesting" about these two.. *coughs* Correction.. These "three". Ferrum-?? Quartz-Interesting? ... Somehow, I don't really like the sound of that. Ferrum-She's right.. Something doesn't seem right. *looks at Clay and Cho* You two are coming with me to Holy Circle Headquaters. Cho-... Kelos-Hey, wait.. Why are you listening to her?! o_O Who is she? Seras-I'm an old friend. Cho probably remembers me.. Right? Cho-... Seras-... C-Cho? Cho-... It was weird.. it felt like I was looking in a mirror. Seras-... The encounter must have been kinda awkward for you. Cho-... I wanna know what exactly's going on. I hate being left confused and totally lost.. Ferrum-I'm sure everything will be explained back at HQ. *looks around* All of you, here.. Your coming with us - whether you like it or not. Kelos-I.. Well.. Er.. Not like we have much of a choice! >_<'' Ferrum-...

Afterwards..

Inside a giant military building. It looks furistically advanced in terms of typical military buildings.
Cynthia seem to be having a discussion with someone. ????-... And that's what discovered down there. Cynthia-I see.. ????-I can't believe Nihil's a bigger threat then I thought. I thought we were dealing with some pesky shapeshifting bug.. But what we're really dealing with is.. Cynthia-... ????-We'll have to keep Clay and Kas locked up for safety issues. We can't afford Nihil draining both of their DNA's. No.. If that happens.. Everyone arrives inside. Cynthia-? ????-Huh? *looks back* You guys..?! O_o Kelos-*looks at ????* Huh!! Junko?!!

[Admiral44]

Clay-Ohhh, Junko... So this is where you've been, huh? 'Least you're not dead, like these guys said would happen if Niley, or whatever the hell that thing is, absorbs your DNA... You must be another one of those "special" acceptions, like me. ^_^ Ray-...Don't be so c0cky. ^_^'' Cia-*taps Clay on his head with a fan in her hand* Don't act like that's some kind of good thing... It can't be. Clay-*rubs head* Sorry, Nii-sama... W-wait a sec! *turns around* What are you doing here?! Who's taking care of the village?! >_<'' Cia-I left Sasuke there... He's capable. Clay-Right.. But, wait a sec. Shouldn't he know about this, too?! Cia-I'll fill him in later. Clay-*rubbing his head* ...Hmm. Soren-*crosses arms* ...

[Magoseong]

Junko-... What are you talking about? o_O'' What are you guys even doing here? Quartz-Nihil managed to to take on your form, Junky. He impersonated and imitated you. He did a good job too.. *looks at Clay* Until-- Junko-Wait.. Are you saying Nihil looked like me? o_O'' Ferrum-He didn't just looked like you.. He also acted like you. Junko-H-how? When? o_O I went back down to that place in order to continue my investigation. I went there alone since everyone was.. "busy". So.. Nihil couldn't have absorbed my DNA that time.. Ferrum-Your saying he didn't absorb your DNA? Junko-No! He didn't.. He couldn't have. Cynthia-This is rather disturbing.. Can Nihil somehow copy a form without having to absorb DNA physically? Junko-... That makes him EVEN more dangerous!! T_T I don't believe! Every second, I just end up finding out Nihil's more powerful and dangerous then we thought! Oh, jeez! What a menace.. What a BEAST! >_< Cynthia-... *looks at everyone and suddenly notices Cho* !! Cho-... Cynthia-Is that.. Cho..? Cho-... Junko-Cho..!? *notices Cho* !! C-Cho!! o_O'' Cynthia-What's the meaning of this? Is this Nihil? Or is it really.. Ferrum-It's the real Cho, Commander. I'm as puzzled as you are.. But I suspect something's wrong. Junko-Cho!! Your alive..?! O_o ... (For.. some reason.. I.. don't feel any joy from this. T_T That can't be good.) Cho-... *looks at Junko - in a really weak voice* J-Junko.. Ferrum-..? Hey, kid.. Is something wrong? You sound like you have a cold. Cho-... I.. I'm kinda hungry.. *collaspes* ... Seras-!! C-Cho-san! Ferrum-..?! Cynthia-Ah! Junko-H-hey! o_O ...

[Admiral44]

Ray-H-hey, Cho! O_O'' Clay-... o_O'' *kneels down beside Cho, poking him in the head* Huh... He's gotten that hungry, ehh? *stomach suddenly growls really loudly* Everyone-... Clay-*rubs head* Oh, yeah... I've been so busy that.. I had forgotten to eat when I woke up this morning. So, basically... I haven't eaten in three and a half days... ^_^'' *suddenly looks really pale and looks back at Cia* Cia-niisama... Can you cook me and Cho something?.. Please?.. T_T Cia-*sweatdrops* ...Why do I have to make you something? Clay-'Cuz your food's amazing, Nii-sama.. And it's really filling. And stuff... And I don't trust anyone else's cooking.. In this room, anyway.. Besides Ray-san, but it takes him way to long... T_T Cia-*multiple sweatdrops* ... Ray-*vein pops out* Hey... -_-'' Soren-*ignoring everyone for the moment* ...Junko. To add on to the story, it escaped when it absorbed Clay's DNA and used his speed... But, as you can see, both Clay and Cho are still alive... Which can't be a good thing. *shakes head* Anyway... What is it exactly you found out?

[Magoseong]

Junko-?!! Nihil absorbed Clay's DNA?! Cynthia-Junko..! Junko-You morons!! H-How'd that happen?! Ugh! Clay, you stupid moron!! You were careless, weren't you?! *facepalm* ... Don't tell me. Did Nihil manage to absorb Kas' DNA too..? Quartz-N-No, he wasn't able to. Junko-Oh.. Whew. That was a close call.. ^_^ ... ... ... *shakes his head* Aaagh!! This isn't good! If he gets ahold on Kas' DNA!! Kelos-W-what's wrong?! o_O Junko-... I'll tell you what I found in my investigation. Everyone-... Junko-... Those strange wave motions down there, in those ruins.. It seems that they were leaking out from a faint dimensional rift. Kelos-Dimensional rift? Junko-It's very faint but it's there. This dimensional rift.. seems to be a portal leading to the "soul" of our world. Ferrum-Soul of our world? Junko-The planet's core. Kelos-Planet's core? o_O You mean.. Like the very center of our world..?! Junko-Precisely.. Kelos-Sooo.. Is that bad? Junko-Yes. You see.. if Nihil manages to gain the ability to control space and time, he'll be able to open up this rift and enter the core of our world. There, he'll gain infinte energy.. And.. Well. Do the math here!

[Admiral44]

Cia-...To put it simply, it wouldn't be very good. ^_^'' Ray-*rubs head frantically* Aaargghh, Clay! You idiot! Clay-*stands up suddenly* H-hey, to hell it's my fault! You guys never filled me in on anything!! I would've been more careful if you had! You know I don't listen in the heat of things! *in Kas's Tone* Uncle Junko, I'd like to help out, but today's my last day here, so you'll have to ask Clay-niisan. You'll HAVE TO FILL HIM IN ON EVERYTHING WHEN HE WAKES UP, though.. *coughs and in normal tone* Sheesh... So, it's your fault for telling me NOTHING! And besides, it's impossible for him to get Kas's DNA while he's asleep and I'm awake.. -_-'' *suddenly falls over, passed out* Wuahh.. @_@ Soren-... *sweatdrops* Ray-...He's passed out from hunger... >_<'' Cia-... *sighs*

[BloodRunsCold]

((lol, this is way late, but may I join?))

[Magoseong]

(ooc: Sure. The story just came into part where the characters just discovers the problem in the story.. Your character can either be a soldier of Holy Circle [A military organization in this story] or just an old friend of the protagonists. It's your choice.. Once you create your character, I'll give out a short summary of what's going on so far.)

Junko-*looks at Clay - earlier* Sorry. I didn't think you needed to know about this. Then again.. Who would bother explaining this to you? Kelos-... Ferrum-*looks at Clay, then at Cho* Agh.. Enough! We brought these two here for a quick medical check - I.. We're suspecting that there's something wrong with these two. Junko-I can understand what you mean.. These two had their DNA absorbed by Nihil. They shouldn't be alive.. Ferrum-... Junko- And by the looks of things, I don't think these two passed out from hunger. Cynthia-Very well.. Kelos-H-hey! We aren't gunna.. disect them, are we? Junko-... Your intelligence amazes me, mutt. T_T Disect? Are you joking? Kelos-*sweatdrops* ... Junko-... Of course we're gunna disect them! -_-'' Kelos-W-what?! o_O H-hey! You can't.. But they'll-- Ferrum-... Don't joke around about that. Quartz-Yeah, really.. Cynthia-Show some maturity - this seems serious. Junko-What? I thought we really were disecting them.. ^_^ I mean.. I got a scapel. A BIG scapel. Kelos-... Well.. At least we can gurantee that this is the real Junko. o_o'' Junko-Real? Who said I was the real Junko? I could be Nihil.. ^_^ Or maybe not.. Kelos-W-wha? Wait.. Your not Junko? Junko-No.. Did I say I was Junko? Kelos-H-huh? o_O But.. Junko-I'm just kidding.. I am Nihil -- I mean Junko. ^_^ Kelos-*making an extremely dumbfounded and confused face* ??? Whaa.. Ferrum-... Stop joking around. Junko-Alright, alright.. I'm done. Haha..

[Admiral44]

Ray-*sweatdrops* ...H-hey. Just do the check-up on them already and get it over with! No dissecting! >_<'' Soren-Heh. Why not? ^_^ Ray-*looks at Soren* ... ... ... Soren-*coughs* Sorry. Ray-*shakes head* But seriously, this needs to speed up a bit, I mean.. The village is completely defenseless... And that makes me nervous. Cia-*looks at Ray* Don't underestimate my village, Ray-chan... ^_^ Ray-*multiple sweatdrops* ...

[BloodRunsCold]

((lol, I'm in now.))

Tye walked over a steep hill with a little trouble, he didn't expect it would be so difficult. He stood at the peak, looking around for anything, and he saw a group of kids talking. He silently laughed to himself and he started to climb down after them, his twin swords on his back.

[Magoseong]

(ooc: Group of kids? :P Everyone's inside a building - they're not outside. I doubt there'd be a steep hill inside a military fortress.. Sorry, I should have mentioned that. But don't worry so much about it - it's not really a big deal.)

A soldier who looks like some kind of scientist is walking beside Tye. The two of them walks toward Cynthia and everyone unnoticed. ????-Ah.. Jeez.. *holds his forehead* I shouldn't have drank so much yesterday.. This hangover's killin me.. I can't work like this. *notices everyone around Cynthia* Eeh.. Who are those guys? Ya know em, Tye? Junko-*looks at Ray* Cia's right. Don't worry so much. But with that said, I think it is wise to get this check-up done and over with.. I have a very odd feeling that there's something wrong with Cho and Clay. Actually.. I think I should also be checked. You stated Nihil took on my form and this slightly disturbs me. I wanna know how Nihil managed to get ahold on my DNA.

[BloodRunsCold]

((lol, completely sorry about that, my mistake.))

Tye looked at the group of people in front of him. Tye- Not that I know of, I've never seen these people before. Tye stood there, thinking to himself, *I wonder if these are the ones I'm supposed to keep an eye on.*

[Admiral44]

Ray-*rubbing his head* Hmm... If you say so. Let's get going, then.. Soren-Right. *looks around, noticing Tye and ????* Hmm? Cia-Well... On this check-up, I know we all know this, but just to remind you... Clay's status will probably be a great deal different from Cho's, due to Kas... Ray-Right, yeah... I actually keep forgetting about that, embarrasingly.. >_>'' Soren-...

[Magoseong]

Junko-Probably.. But.. Let's just go and see. Cynthia-*eventually notices Tye and the scientist* ? You two? ????-Huh? Ferrum-*notices ???? and Tye* ? Junko-*notices them as well* ... Hmm? *points at Tye* Hey.. Aren't you that.. The one they call the Bodyguard? Kelos-... Bodyguard?

[BloodRunsCold]

*Tye let out a quick chuckle and cracked his knuckles.* Tye- Yep, that's what they call me. *He pulled out his two big swords off of his back and drove them into the floor in front of him, just watching them now.*

[Admiral44]

Ray-The... Bodyguard? o_O Cia-Huh. Soren-Interesting. *looks at Ray* Someone must've hired him. Ray-*looks at Tye* Who hired you? o_O Ray-*shakes head, completey changing the subject out of nowhere* Hey, wait a sec... During this examination... Is there any chance we'll find out how to unsplit Kas and Clay?.. o_O Cia-*sweatdrops* ...That's random.

[Magoseong]

Junko-Hired him? ????-What? No.. Er.. *coughs* Me and Tye here are just here to tell.. I mean ask.. I mean ask-tell.. Er.. Have a discussion with the Commander about something. S-so don't mind us. It looks like you guys are kinda busy.. Junko-... *coughs* Riight. Anyway.. *looks at Ray* Unsplit Kas and Clay? Well.. Who knows. Let's find out. ????-... Hey, what's this about an examination? o_O Just.. kinda curious. Junko-Well.. We're having these two checked for a medical examination. ????-Medical examination? H-hey! Maybe I could help out there! You see.. I'm a physcian! I can easily examine anyone and bring up the diagnosis and results. Junko-... Wait.. Do I even know you? I've never seen you here before. ????-I.. Er.. I usually.. *mumbles* Stay home and play video games.. Junko-What? ????-*coughs* That's not important, is it? ^_^''

[Admiral44]

Ray-*rubbing head* ...Well... I don't really care who does it, I just want it to get done. T_T Soren-... Cia-I dunno. *in a sarcastic tone, to ????* Can I really trust you with my little brother? You won't do any unneccesary things, will you?.. -_-

[Magoseong]

????-What do you mean by unneccesary? o_O'' Junko-... Like disecting them. That's unneccesary. ????-D-Disect? Ferrum-Never mind.. They're just joking around like idiots. ????-Well, don't worry! It'll only take a second for me to do this. Now, who exactly needs to be examined? Junko-*points at Cho, then at Clay* These two.. Who are on the floor. ^_^'' ????-Mmm.. Okay. Just.. Wait a sec.. *walks toward Cho and Clay, kneeling down on the floor*

... ... ...

????-... *stands up* Whoa!! o_O'' Junko-What? ????-I forgot that we're supposed to be in a medical room! ^_^'' We can't do the examination here! Hahah! Silly me.. Junko-... ????-Anyway.. Let's get going. Hey.. Can you two of you carry these guys? Anyway.. Yeah! Let's go to the medical room. Junko-... I'm starting to have trouble trusting this guy. Kelos-Me too.. Ferrum-Of course.. -_-'' ????-Come on Tye! We'll ask Commander later.. I wanna check this out first. ^_^ Everyone leaves..

In the medical room. Cho and Clay are both strapped in on top of beds. Junko is sitting on the bed.
????-... Junko-Well.. You said this would take a second, didn't you? ????-*looks at Junko* Your completely fine. Junko-... Okay. And what about Cho and Clay? ????-Your friends.. They're.. Kelos-What!? Dying!? Don't tell me that! I dunno hear it! ????-No.. Your friends are perfectly fine actually. Kelos-... Oh.. Junko-... But I'm expecting something's wrong. ????-Well.. On the outside, they're completely fine. Junko-... So what's going on in the inside? ????-They're internal organs somehow mutated, they've been genetically altered. Kelos-E-eh.. That doesn't sound good. o_O ????-And their bodies have no trace of surge. Junko-No trace of surge? But.. That's impossible! ????-I know.. I'm kinda confused too. Surge is needed in order for our bodies to function. However.. Their bodies are generating and using a new type of energy. Junko-New type of energy? ????-It's incredible! The properties of this type of energy exceeds that of Surge! They're bodies are functioning fifty times better! Watch! *walks toward Cho and takes out a scapel* See this? Junko-? ????-... *cuts Cho's arm* Cho-N-ngh.. Kelos-! H-hey! ????-No! Watch! Cho gets a bleeding cut on his arm but it instantly vanishes.. Junko-... ????-Amazing, isn't it!? Cell reproduction's alot faster then our own! Junko-... Huh. Cynthia-... Incredible. Junko-... This sounds like Mana energy. ????-Hmm? Pardon? Junko-Way back before, humans used to feed off of an old energy source known as Mana. Mana was used to heal everything back then.. Broken legs, bleeding cuts, large or small.. Large ammount of Mana could even cure terminal illness. But.. Something happened back then. Something terrible.. And that's why today we use electricity as our new power source. ????-Huh.. You know alot. Junko-Yeah, well.. It's what happens when your grandfather happens to be a book worm. Teaches you alot of stuff that no one would really care about. -_-'' But, anyways.. Saying that - this is unusual. Not because of Cho and Clay using Mana energy. But because their bodies are generating Mana energy. Human bodies can't do that.. Our bodies can only absorb in energy, not create energy. Kelos-But.. What about wave motions? o_O'' Our bodies emit wave motions. Junko-That's not energy, dumbass. It's waste.. Kelos-Wastes? Junko-... Like feces? Surely a mutt like you crapped on a carpet before to understand that. Kelos-W-what?! Hey!! >_<

[Admiral44]

Soren-So, wait a second... Instead of getting killed when their DNA got stolen... It's just that there surge got stolen? And got replaced by a new source, Mana? Is that what you're trying to say? Cia-...Sounds like it. Ray-So... Does that mean Kas goes on Mana, too? Or is Kas still normal?.. o_O'' *shakes head* And if there bodies are giving off large amounts of Mana energy and Junko said humans can't do that... Does that mean.. They're not human anymore?.. >_< Soren-...

[BloodRunsCold]

Tye sat impatiently outside of the medical doors, thinking to himself. "What did I get myself into. I only did this for the Cross to see that they can trust me with being one of their leaders." He looked around the room, sighed, and walked outside.

[Magoseong]

Junko-Cho and Clay are still humans, Ray. As for Kas' case.. I'm not sure. We'll just have to knock Clay out three times.. Er.. Two times and see Kas' state. ????-... Who's Kas? o_O Junko-But.. I'm gunna a make summary of this whole thing. *coughs* I wanna figure this out accurately.. So far, we encountered Nihil a parastic monster that can steal and copy DNA from any living organism. Nihil copied Cho and Clay's DNA and somehow altered their internal body systems, causing them to self-generate an old type of energy not used for many generations. I end up finding out a dimensional rift that leads to the core of Symphonia - it's likely that Nihil would want to use this to gain infinte energy from our world. ... ????-... Dimensional.. rift? o_O'' Junko-Don't worry about it. ????-... You mean.. the dimensional rift in Mystic forest? Junko-??? W-what? ????-I.. I wanted to tell Commander about this strange dimensional rift me and Tye found out at your guy's little forest. Is.. Is that the dimensional rift your talking about? Junko-...

[BloodRunsCold]

Tye came back into the room, watching everybody. Tye- "Are we gonna have to go to this forest again?" He looked at the group of kids there, giving himself a small grin.

[Magoseong]

????-*looks at Tye* W-well.. Junko-There's another dimensional rift? In our forest? The one I was talking about was located down in the Esoteric depths. *looks at Tye, then at ????* Can you two tell us about this dimensional rift? ????-... W-well.. It's kinda hard to explain it, but.. It was located in some old temple place. Junko-A temple? The dimensional rift I found was located in the ruins of a temple.. ... ... ...

[Admiral44]

Soren-Wait a second! There's two now?! Cia-... Ray-Hey... Is there two because one's for Cho and one's for Clay, maybe?... o_O'' Soren-*looks at Ray* What makes you say that? Ray-Dunno. I mean... You never can tell in this crazy, little world of ours. T_T Soren-...
