Struggle Of Powers

[-Genesis-]

 

Lana walked over to her brother, "I'm sorry Hachi, but if we don't act hard towards these people, they will take advantage of us and try to manipulate us. We can't afford any mistakes with these ones." She glanced back at the group of supers for a second as they went towards the processing facility, while the two of them headed towards the capital, before turning back to her brother. "So what's so urgent that we're rushing?"

 

Kyou took a few steps forward from the wall where their group stood to her wooden seat resting in an indent at the conference table. She slid the wooden chair aside and glanced from Kallen to Eden. Then she created one made of ice and sat. She slid into the groove of the table and bowed her head, "I apologize, but I do not recognize you... Who are you?"

 

Kallen noticed Kyou's eyes and pushed the wooden chair over to Eden and whispered, "Sit down, you're making Kyou nervous. She can't worry about you and focus on the negotiations at the same time. You can protect her just as easily sitting down as standing up." After a stern glare she turned, and walked forward to stand at Kyou's shoulder in the position of the lead guard as she was assigned.

 

Akima looked at Josh stunned as he growled making the guards back off, "Josh, Dragon, or whoever you are! We're suppose to be keeping a low profile, not scaring them and making them watch us more!"

 

Cougar was standing on a hill overlooking the rebuilt camp. *These rebels aren't as organized as my old group used to be, but then again they are much larger than my old group was.* He looked down at a map in his hands, and examined their path and plan, *Well it's time to get ready to move out.* Cougar folded up the map and put it in his pocket before heading down the hill to help out with the 'arming of the troops'.

 

Inside the capital, in guest quarters, Kiria paced, "I wonder what's going on? We're waiting for a chance at negotiations, but I talked to one of the servants earlier. He said that negotiations were scheduled for 15:30pm and that was 10 minutes ago." He turned to look at Alisa and Ike sitting in armchairs, "You don't think that there is another group in negotiations with the Southern Leaders right now do you?" Alisa looked up at Kiria, "I don't know. Now stop complaining, I'm sorry if you're impatient, but all we can do is wait." Kiria shook his head and laughed, "I'm not impatient, it's just that I've never been inside the Southern Capital, or any of the other major cities, unless I was on a mission or something. It just fells odd not killing each Southern soldier I see."

 

Far away in a dark room a man rested in a containment unit. His eyes were closed, but he was speaking. Reciting what seemed to be verses, muffled by the breathing mask over the lower half of his face:

"Infinite in mystery is the gift of the goddess

We seek it thus, and take into the sky

Ripples form on the water's surface

The wandering soul knows no rest."

[DragonJLB]

"Akima, I could couldn't care less about this plan. ANY Body who would think about cageing or other wise restraining a dragon, will be delt with." Josh Said while still walking forward. THen he closed his eye's and said " What are these welp's thinking. Then the question arose, and he asked the only one who could answer it. " Josh what where you thinking, Staying here for these people. The only one worth staying here for is Yaming, why not take her away from all this?"

 

Josh stired, then answer with laughter said . " You'll have to figure it out on your own." Josh faded back to sleep. Then opening hs eye's the Dragon smiled as he looked back in Josh's body at the people following him in tothe unknown.

[Tempest Dahlia]

Destined looked at Black as he continued his guarded stroll through the prison. In one hour, he assumed the prisoners would be let out of their cells to get their daily exercise. That small window was what they needed to initiate a riot among the prisoners; and with everyone's powers suddenly working again, the fireworks would be enormous.

Lucifer remained dormant on his master's head: he couldn't wait to join in on the action also.

[Jake the Sage]

The door clacked open as the first of the officer’s arrived with his commander in tow. To everyone’s surprise the officer looked like a doll instead of a human, not even stnading bigger than a book, and her commander was a dog. Fluttering around on what appeared to be wings the girl sat down on the dog as it climbed into her seated. Looking at the stunned group she cocked her ting head and asked blatantly, “What the bloody hell are you all looking at?”

 

"I apologize, but I do not recognize you . . . who are you?" Kyou asked once she had gotten seated in the ice chair she had created. The little doll-like creature turned red in anger before being forced to sit down in her seat by the dog. Glaring the tiny doll answered, "I am Lady Bell- one of the Commanders of the South. Unlike you, I already know who you are. You're name is Lady Kyou, a pathetic commander of those fools in the North. Am I right?"

 

Kyou didn't answer for a while as the doors opened and another Commander entered, this one in a soldier outfit as if he was a comman grunt. After telling Eden he'd be able to protect Kyou while sitting down and a stern glare, Kallen walked until she was standing at Kyou's shoulder. Watching the newest Commander that entered he sat down and glanced at Commander Bell, "So it seems as if Lord Bordimour has yet to arrive, eh?"

 

"Speak your thoughts Super! What do you believe will come of this treaty?" William barked at his subordinant. Avia gulped and cringed in fear at the sound of William exclaiming words; she didn't know much of the treaty yet, and wasn't much of a peace expert.

 

"Erm . . . I don't think the treaty will last. There's too much fighting," Avia said awkwardly, unsure of her true opinion, "Well, Master William, do you need me for anything else at the moment?"

 

As William thought feathers poked out from her fingers and returned quickly; she knew she couldn't leave, for she had an important meeting to attend soon, "Avia . . . let us proceed to the conferance room, now."

 

"War!?" Yaming yelled a bit too loud, making everyone turn to her, "You are planning to start a war!?"

 

"A bit of chaos levels any playing field," Koya stated, making Yaming calm down while the Professor finished half of the collars. Stepping next to his wife Josh's hand reached up and brushed some hair off of her ear, "Don't fear . . . I remember your power and in the face of such power, no one will rival us- if you could harness it at will. So for now I will go along with thie 'plan' of your's . . . Destined."

 

Stopping Josh's eyes turned blood red, and narrowed like a cats, as he glanced around the room. Corey and Jame's power was begining to fade thus slowly releasing the guards from their illusion. Barely making it everyone attatched the disabled collars around their neck and got back into formation. Thinking everything was normal the guards sent the group onward.

 

Finally exiting out of the 'processing' plant the group could truely see what the South was like, enriched fields of herbs and planet surrounded by equally fantastic momuments of Commanders and Generals of the past; it almost made them stop in awe. Yet behind these grand visages they could spot the dark truth and lies festering underneath like a disease. Each grand marble statue, each inch of cultivated land had been paid in blood and cruelty. Walking to where they were supposed to be living they could spot women and children being brought along as if nothing more than animals, while others were forced to do more unseemly "acts" just to be feed- Truely it was disgusting . . .

 

Growling under his breath the dragon within Josh revelled at the pleasure he'd get when the sound of these flith had their bones snapping under his claws made him grin. Hearing the growl Akima looked, stunned, as he glared at some nobelmen and attracted some unwanted attention, "Josh . . . dragon . . . whoever you are. We're suppose to be keeping a low profile . . . not scaring them and making them watch us more."

 

"Akima, I could couldn't care less about the plan at the moment. Anybody who would dare commite these crimes . . . these abominations will get what they deserve," Corey said after reading Josh's mind, having nearly thought the same thing. Glancing over Josh grinned while nodding, then he closed his eyes, "Josh, what where you thinking? Staying here for these people . . . the only one worth staying here for is Yaming, why not take her away from all this?" the dragon questioned in his mind. Josh stired, then answer with laughter, "You'll have to figure it out on your own." Not recieving the answer he had desired the dragon opened his eyes, smiled, and looked forward at their arrived destination; the slave quarters.

 

"This is where you lot will spend when not out doing what you lot do best," a guard mocked as he swung the door open for them, not to be kind, but to further mock them, "Hard, grueling, manual labor."

 

After the door had been shut the sound of multipule locks could be heard clicking as the guard outside turned the key; for whatever good it would have done. Now alone in the dark, damp slave quarters Yaming sat down on the grimy floor and let out a long sigh as she messages the soles of her feet, "At least I'm glad we can sit down for a bit."

 

"Yeah," Koya said as he looked at the rest of the slaves, unbelievably thin and ghastly in appearance, "Wonder how Kyou and her group is farring?"

 

Walking around the Professor sat down and let out a sigh, not knowing someone was inching closer to him. Now directly behind him the man was caught by Corey and James before quickly thrown backwards, "Who are you and what do you want with the Professor?"

 

The man's long hair was split at the ends and underneath the dirt a small tinge of red could be seen as he stood back up; with no shoes or shirt the only thing keeping him from looking like a wild man was the ragged jeans he wore. Opening his mouth to answer he was stopped when the sound of something hitting the floor hard broke the silence. Another man, who appeared as if he had just arrived, walked over and noticed it was a man from before who had attempted to escape. A quick examination told he was in critical shape, "Help! Someone he needs help!"

 

Immediately Yaming and a couple others of the group, nearly forgetting the plan, reached the stranger and spotted the pool of blood leaking from an incredibly large hole in his chest. Yaming, with knowledge she didn't even know she had, began to demand items and other oddities to help him. Wipping his forehead she asked what had happened to him, only to be answered with a raspy, "Vera . . . Vera . . ."

 

"Daddy!!!" Alexandra had screamed while his eyes grew wide in suprise, the pain coarsing through his body leaving it in shock. Vera had placed her down and turned to Bordimour. She hadn't looked scared or sad, strange seeing as she had been ordered to kill him, but then made a mad dash at the demon; he at the time thought she was going to try and make a break for it with them. Yet, it wasn't too be. She had stopped inches away from the monstrosity's neck and instead her right had been thrusted into his chest. Once he had collapsed on the floor and started gasping for air she licked the dropplets of blood of her hand and told an offshoot guard in the coldest tone he had ever heard, ""Take this filth out of my sight . . ."

 

"Keep that up my pet," Bordimour complimented as Alex was being dragged away, "And you just might end up becoming a damn good soldier. Now! We have a meeting to attend . . ."

 

Alex's memories faded as the cool rag soothed him as the wound was slowly being closed by Yaming's powers. It hadn't occured to her at the moment, but she had revealed their secret to every slave in the quarters. Glancing around at the gasping faces people almost too afraid to believe what they had just witnessed. Yet despite their fear a young widow inched her way to Yaming and held out a small bundle for her, moving the cloth to reveal a quite infant, "Please my lady . . . she does not cry. I fear I might loose my son . . ."

 

"Phase one is complete . . . but this," Destined said motioning to Yaming, who had taken the child and began healing it with her powers, "Might complicate Phase Two."

 

"That's just the kind of person she is," Koya said trying to keep the mob of slaves from begging Yaming for aid as she handed the now wailing infant boy to her mother, who cried in happiness and thanked Yaming, calling her a goddess. Destined scratched his chin when the mob of slaves began to refer to Yaming as 'the goddess' and asked for anything from bringing back their dead love to releaving a sore on their foot. Slowly his twisted mind took hold of an idea and he stood up, walked in front of the slaves, and demanded they back away, "You think yourselve's worthy to be saved from this hell? What derranged thoughts have casted such an illusion that you would even seek help from this . . . goddess!?"

 

Getting up to stop him, the stranger who had been held back by Corey and James stopped her, shaking his head as destined continued. Now shaking his fist to frighten them he raved, "If you wish to serve the goddess and recieve her divine infulence on your pathetic lives then aid us in our goals. And with united powers you shall be set free from your shackles- is everyone ready!?"

 

He grinned as the slaves in the living quarters nearly yelled out in acceptance of Destined's words and the prospect of freed; turning he looked at the group's stunned faces, not having believed he could rouse a crowd like that. They didn't have much time left to form a plan, as the guards outside should be aware of the noise inside, leaving them an extremely limited window of time to establist the base of the plan; the rest they'd have to improvise. Raising his voice once more over the near roar of the crowd he finished, "If so, We will wait for our hour to arrive before we begin. And if you do not wish to remain as you are this very day then you cannot speak of the goddess nor her patrons out loud. Yet, let all those captured in shackles who will listen be told of the goddess who has come to release you!"

 

"I'm ready," Black grinned as his commrade returned to them; he had been waiting for this for too long; his fire, telekinesis, warping, and even summoning would all be employed in the end. Even those who had suspected or thought Destined was playing some kind of angle repeated Black's words, fully convinced that this would work. The Professor walked over to Destined and told his profound compliments about the speech Destined had managed to say as Koya and Akima agreed.

 

"Still thinking you can beat the South Bill?" someone asked the Professor from the corner. The man stood up and, yet again, it was the same stranger. The Professor must've knew who he was because he never brought his guard up, "Natrually Scott. You did too, when you were my second in command . . ."

 

Destined looked at Black as he laid on the concrete floor, eventually he assumed the slaves would be let out of their cells to get their daily exercise. That small window was what they needed to initiate a riot and, with everyone's powers suddenly working again, the fireworks would be grand. Lucifer remained dormant on his master's head: he couldn't wait to join in on the action also. "Now you vain naive child . . . will you be able to keep your end of the bargin?"

 

"I'm sorry Hachi, but if we don't act hard towards these people, they will take advantage of us and try to manipulate us. We can't afford any mistakes with these ones," Lana had answered after glancing back at the group of supers for a second as they went towards the processing facility, while the two of them headed towards the capital, "So what's so urgent that we're rushing?"

 

"A meeting of the Commanders has been called," Hachi said sternly while not even looking at her. Lana's eyes for once grew wide in surpise, a meeting of the Commanders of the Southern Army had never been called for as long as she could remember; and only stroies of them being sumoned during massive sieges by other countries remained. knowing this Lana understood fully why they were in a rush. COntinuing along their way to the council room Lana and Hachi passed two guards carrying what looked like a freshly killed body and Hachi turned to head where they had left, "Lord Bordimour must be this way."

 

"I wonder what's going on? We've been waiting for a chance at negotiations, but I talked to one opf the servants eariler. He said that the negotiations were scheduled for 15:30 pm and that was 10 minutes ago," Kiria yelled to Ike and Alisa as he paced back and forth. He turned to look at Alisa and Ike, sitting in armchairs, "You don't think that there is another group in negotiations with the Southern Leaders right now do you?"

 

"I don't know. Now stop complaining, I'm sorry if you're impatient, but all we can do is wait," Alisa answered while he shook his head and laughed, "I'm not impatient, it's just that I've never been inside the Southern Capital or any of the other major cities, unless I was on a mission or something. It just fells odd not killing each Southern soldier I see."

 

"Then find another way to occupy your time human," Ike said coldly as he examined every inch of the room they were in for the eigth time. As he began to head for the door it opened and the twins walked in. Looking around Lana and Hachi recognized Kiria and his group from the capture eariler the same day, but didn't dare address them. With the awkward silence intensifing the sound of two footsteps made them turn and see Bordimour and Vera walking into the same room. Spotting Kiria Bordmour grinned and motion, "I thought you would have been 'dealt' with already and have been on your way back to the Western General."

[Freeman The Master]

Eden looked to Kyou and saw the Chair form right under form her. He seen this plenty of times, but wondering why Kyou prefers Ice to anything else is a mastery but hes seen it before and did not let is bother him. But unfortunately he had more things to do then ponder about Kyou's Ways. This new things that was interrupting him was this Soldier it seemed wanting to take his Place as a Guard for Kyou. Eden refused to this Grunt, and stood at Kyou's side. But as for now he was paying attention to this 'Lady Bell.' A Doll it seems. "Amazing Robotics to create something so small. How did they make you?" Eden said as he looked memorized at the Doll Crouching down to Bell's eye level, or as close as he can get to it.

[-Genesis-]

Kyou blanched, Eden was going to get them killed. She closed her eyes not wanting to see what she was about to make happen, *I'm so sorry Eden.* She clicked her tongue once and Kallen reacted without hesitation. She spun around and clipped Eden with a punch across the chin that sent him flying into the wall behind them. At the sound of the crash Kyou opened her eyes, tears welling up in them, but she couldn't let the Southerners see that, she had to stay strong. She looked over at Lady Bell, "I apologize Lady Bell for the man's thoughtless act. I will deal with him later, now I must ask though... who are we waiting for?"

 

Kallen had made sure to hit Eden hard enough only to make it look like a serious punishment, whereas the reason he flew back was due more to a tiny release of radiant energy in her alm where no one could see. She looked to Lee and whispered, "I'm sorry, we'll explain later. Please control and contain him. If he does something like that again we could be declared enemies before we even start. The Southerners are allowed to make all the insults they wish because we came to them, not the other way around." Kallen relaxed her body and made sure to keep her exterior emotionless as she turned and walked back to Kyou's shoulder.

 

Akima listened to the plan and walked over to Koya, "So, how do you think Kyou and the others are doing inside?" He expected that Koya would know that he was actually worried about Kallen, but he wasn't going to say that out loud.

 

Lana shivered slightly at the way Kiria held himself, calm, confident, and deadly... not a person to mess with. The worst part was that that was the same way she held herself, except that this man was on a whole different level than her.

 

Kiria smirked at Bordimour, and spoke mockingly, "As if you would ever be so lucky. With your luck we'll be here for a few weeks." As he was having his fun, Alisa stood up and walked towards them, "That's enough testosterone, thank you." she looked up at Bordimour, "Shall we get moving?"

[Freeman The Master]

As Eden hit the wall he flinched in the pain but it was not as bad as he thought it would be. But the real odd thing is though is Eden felt the pain but unlike other times where he just made his Normal Headache Grow, this time he felt better as the pain coursed though his body nerve after nerve. Why in the All's name did that feel good? He thought, as he hit the wall her rolled to the ground looking up somewhat smiling a bit. He sat there for a few minutes wondering why the pain felt good to him. But he shock it off and came back in to the real world. He shock his head as he tried to get his vision back realigned. "Now that is not true. It was not Thoughtless, that..." He paused for a moment. "Sorry Miss Bell over there is not Organic but something else. And for being raised in the Wasteland for the longest time seeing Technology like her is astonishing to see. I am sorry but it is, it truly is and if thinking that expanding some ones mind is Thoughtless then I would have to disagree. Selfish maybe but thoughtless no."

[DragonJLB]

"What Mindless human's would belive that a godess would be ctaured and brought here!" Josh thought as he watched Destined speak his word's to the other slave's. he was leaning on the wall watching them soke up every word of it. Then a loud growl emited from him as he said.

" This paln is foolish, reckless, and many will fall from it, Destined their is just one thing I'll add to this PLAN of your's . The fake one is mine, no other's shall have the plesure of ridding this world of a Dragon look-a-like but my self." Then looking at he pushed away from the wall and started walking tward's Destined. When he got close enough to Destined he continued with ," No one eles has the right , of corse that's if it even show's it's face." Then with an evil grin he added, " This time a true dragon shall fight in the sky's, Fire will rain on those I chose, and I will quencing my enemy's thirst for violence . . . with a rain of fire!!" As He said this his Blood red eye's where almost glowing with the thought. He smiled.

[Tempest Dahlia]

"You better hope this works or you'll be dead meat..." Lucifer whispered silently, then cackled menacingly.

"Oh it shall, my dear Lucifer..." Destined said with a smile. "One hour from now, the courtyard will be ablaze with the most dazzling scene! We will witness a compilation of emotion as the Supers are pitted against their fellow man..." he said. The excitement was getting to him.

"Lucifer, l think l want to use your powers for this. Let us show the world just how evil l am."

Lucifer grinned...

[Aqua Girl]

"AHAHAHAHAHA!, Please I do as you say only to benefit my self" Vera says Sarcsticly, she goes and picks up Alexandria, as she begins to walk off as if she knew where she was going,

"Come on are you as slow as you are powerful?, If so you must be fairly fast?"

 

Alex, got up Slowly, he stumbled to the cell door, "Guard..." She says with a horse voice.

 

The guard that had brought Alex here, turned and said, "What Are you Disgusted by the dead man? To ba-" She sudenly stoped as she saw Alex, she made a mistake by getting to close, alex's arms had her he pulled her head through the bars and sank his teath into her neck, she let out a moan as she was drained of all her blood, "Ahh!"

 

Alex sighs as he gets up from her body, he pops his neck and looks at the newcomers, as a Look of shock in their faces as the guard gets up, her eyes flahed red she groans and subles off.

 

OoC: Theres your Distraction, If not then I'll just make her Die I think a Ghoul Infection Is a good distraction.

[Skippy Canoe]

As William thought feathers poked out from her fingers and returned quickly; she knew she couldn't leave, for she had an important meeting to attend soon, "Avia . . . let us proceed to the conferance room, now."

 

"Yes, sir," said Avia, nodding. She gritted her teeth, looking at the sky. Nevertheless, she followed William to the conference room, from the cold southern peak. Hoping William wouldn't mind, Avia transformed into a crane. She walked alongside him, knowing flying would make her too fast and too tired.

 

 

Bellis had been captured for quite a long time, or at least it seemed long to her. Her abilities didn't work now. She felt out of her element. Hoping a plan was being made or had been in action, Bellis waited.

[Kira Magister Magi]

To the outside world, Ichiro was shaking in his sleep. To Ichiro, he was having the adventure of his life. Once he was knocked unconcious, he was sent into a dream world like none have ever seen before. He fought beasts 5 times his size and won, had a seemingly limitless source of water, and the same went for enemies. He felt like he was there for 7 hours or so, though it was only about 3. He woke up in the slave quarters just in time to see Destined pass over his head.

 

He stood up, cracked his neck, and said, "Boy is my neck stiff. Where am I and where did all those beasts go? I was on a roll!"

 

Noticing Koya and Destined, he turned toward Koya and again asked, "Where am I?" but added, "And who are you?"

[Tempest Dahlia]

"Someone just had the time of their life in the looney park..." Lucifer grinned. "Master, he sounds crazy... maybe we should keep on walking..." he whisped, except it didn't seem as if he made any effort fo keep it a secret.

Destined turned around at the sound of Lucifer's cackles to see the same prisoner he stepped over. He scowled secretly at the sight of the man's face... despicable.

He decided to turn back around, for fear he might get distracted from the mission at hand.

[Jake the Sage]

As Ichiro dreamed his visions began to blur as the outside world's noise ebgan to wake him from the blow he had recieved eariler. He had been unconcious, for what he thought, seven hours but found it had only been three. Standing, his hand rested over his forehead, he could hear the slaves give cheers as a familiar voice spouted out some nonesense about a goddess. Standing with his knees shaking Ichiro rubbed his neck as he looked around, "Where am I?

 

It wasn't just Ichiro who was confused about the situation. Bellis, having been almost in a dream-like state herself since being beaten by one of the guards, dozed in and out of Destined's 'speech"; thinking she had been capotured for a long time. Shaking her head as Ichiro's shoulder brushed past her Bellis could see and hear the cheering crowd as Destined stepped down to await the time to strike.

 

"You better hope this works or you'll be dead meat," Lucifer whispered quietly before letting out a menacing cackle at the mere thought of Destined dying. Destined scoffed at his hat as it mentioned his head and smiled, "Oh it shall, my dear Lucifer . . . hours from now, the courtyard will be ablaze with the most dazzling scene you could imagine! We my eyes gaze upon the mangled bodies of Supers, Southern and Slave alike, then I will be flaoting atop the apitamy of pleasure. Lucifer, I think I will be using your powers for this. Let us make a war so grand to make even hell itself tremble!"

 

"So, how do you think Kyou and the others are doing inside?" Akima asked once Destined had finished. He expected that Koya would know that he was actually worried about Kallen, but he wasn't going to say that out loud. Nodding Koya smiled and slapped his friend on the back, "Hey now lover boy. Kallen's a big girl. I bet she's already beating the crap out of those delegates . . ."

 

Kallen had made sure to hit Eden hard enough only to make it look like a serious punishment after he had, unintentionally, insulted one of the Southern Commanders; using a tiny ammount of the Radiant Wave Surger's energy to send him flying back. "I'm so sorry Eden," Kyou thought to herself just when Kallen finish dragging Eden over to Lee and, whispering, told Lee that she'd explain later. Standing back up and, relaxing her body, she turned and walked back to Kyou then placed her hand on the young woman's shoulder; Kyou had tears welling up in her eyes but tried to hiide them, knowing that she couldn't let the Southerners see them. She had to stay strong.

 

Taking a calming breath she looked over at Lady Bell, "I apologize Lady Bell for the man's thoughtless act. I will deal with him later, now I must ask though . . . who are we waiting for?"

 

"Well now . . . if i may interrupt Lady Bell," the other Commander said after shifting in his chair, leaning towards Kallen his eyes staring her down, "I'd like to answer that question and have one of my own answered. Fair enough, eh?"

 

"Agreed," Amber said forgetting her position as a guard, much to the Commander's enjoyment. Shifting his position again he grinned and counted off the Commanders who are yet to arrive, "The Commander of the Blood Mist, William. The Hell Bringer, Micheal. The Demon of the South, Lord Bordimour himself. And the General h-"

 

"Commander . . ." came someone's voice from seemingly no where. While they looked around Willaim and Avia appeared from the shadows, walked over and took their proper seats. Glaring over at the Commander William continued in his cold tone, "The General is not to be spoke of without consent."

 

"Too true," Commander Bell agreed. Lana shivered slightly at the way Kiria held himself, calm, confident, and deadly- not a person to mess with. The worst part was that that was the same way she held herself, except that this man was on a whole different level than her.

 

"I thought you would have been 'dealt' with already and have been on your way back to the Western General."

 

"As if you would ever be so lucky. With your luck we'll be here for a few weeks." As he was having his fun, Alisa stood up and walked towards them, "That's enough testosterone, thank you. Shall we get moving?"

 

Chuckeling, liking the way Alisa addressed him even though he could easily dismantle her, he nodded and motioned to Vera to follow along. Walking down the hall the group could see Commander Micheal opening the door and they soon followed, entering the room to nearly completing the roster of Souther Leaders.

 

"What mindless humans would belive that a goddess would be captured and brought here!?" Josh thought as he thought over Destined's speech to the slaves. He was leaning on the wall and was a bit suprised as Corey answer his thoughts, "You don't get it do you Josh?"

 

Corey heaved himself up from the floor and explained himself, "Destined is giving these people something the South took from them. And however cliche it sounds its hope. For as long as they can probably remember their destinys have been controlled. Now he's shown them that they can fight and take it back . . . he knows what he is doing."

 

"Still! This plan is foolish, reckless and many will fall because of it," Josh said as he let a loud growl out. Corey tried to resist taking a step back and coughed to calm himself, "That maybe . . . but right now this is all we can do."

 

"Whatever . . . but the fake dragon . . . is mine!" Josh declared and then pushed away from the wall, "No one else has the right. This time a true dragon shall fight in the skies . . . fire will rain on those I chose and I will quencing my enemy's thirst for violence . . . with a rain of fire!!"

 

The thoughts of revenge against the military, though not the one he intended, made Josh's eyes dance with delight while his blood red eyes almost glowed. Yaming laid her hand on his shoulder, making him stop and look over his shoulder, her eyes filled with concern, "Please just don't do anything stupid. Ok?"

 

"Where am I? Where'd those beasts go?" Ichiro questioned as he walked around asking everyone, but with the current excitement no one listened to him. Musing at Ichiro's question Destined thought to himself, "Someone just had the time of their life in the looney park." As Ichiro walked he finally ran into Koya and Akima talking about Kallen. Looking at the man who had been stepped on by Destined eariler in the day, they heard him asking where he was and they answered any questions they could.

 

"So what kept you Lord Bordimour, eh?" the Commander asked while the Demon of the South entered with Kiria and group in tow. He might've simply overlooked Kyou and the rest, but something caught his attention . . . Eden apologizing to bell. When Eden had hit the wall he flinched as the pain began to return, making his normal heacache grow, yet this time it didn't faze him. Standing back up off the floor he knelt down, "I truely apologize Miss Bell. For the longest time I haven't seen technology like you. It is astonishing to see. I did not mean to stare nor cause any insult."

 

Bordimour saw Kyou, and before she could think of an excuse he spoke, "So the great great granddaughter of that old fool has finally talked sense into him? Or . . . possibly . . . you are here without his blessings? What do you think . . . my General?"

 

The clack of shoes could be heard as the Southern General walked into the conferance room and stood at the door, watching as the Commanders stood at attention, "Aye . . . that is something I would like to know myself . . ."

" Do something stupid, ME!" A Growl came out as he said it. Then a sudden shift accured, his eye's truned back to dark blue. " I'm not going any where this time." Just as quick as they truned blue they went back to red. Josh shook his head from side to side. Josh smiled, His red eye's gleaming.

 

" Well when does this plan start?" He said and walked away from Yaming. " WHat do you think your doing?" THe Dragon asked Josh. " What? She's worried." Josh said as the Dragon took back control of the body.

[Aqua Girl]

Vera Walked with her daughter in her arms she, began to think when her daughter would fall

asleep when she was young playing in the fields, vera used to smile back then. Vera noticed she had

drifted off course, she came through the door shortly after Bordimort. Vera looked at the people with

a cold gaze with her amber yellow eyes, "Hermph!" she says, leaning on a wall.

 

Alex Groaned and leaned on a wall and slid down, "Who Are you?" Alex sed to the new slaves.

Fifty-five minutes in. ln a mere five minutes, the courtyard will develop a smell of fresh blood and singed flesh...

The calm before the storm was getting to Destined. The time went so slowly around him. "Tick tock... damn it, can't this go a bit faster?" He said to himself.

"...i'm hungry..." the cursed hat mumbled hoarsely.

"Be quiet, Lucifer. You can eat in a few minutes," said Destined impatiently. "Right now l need to make sure everyone is ready so l can get the hell out of this collar."

[DragonJLB]

" In five minutes, so many go to their death's for no reson. It's not right." Then truning to Destined, he continued " And you enjoy it fare too much. I find that I dont like it one bit." Josh's whole body tightend up. His eye's on Destined.

[Tempest Dahlia]

Destined eyed Josh for a second with a serious expression. The wind picked up slightly, forcing him to flick back his hair from his face.

"You're so stupid," he said in a mocking tone. "You don't understand the concept of a 'Bad Guy' at all. Don't you see? You -they- are all just little flies caught in my web, if you will. And if they have to be eaten to satisfy my needs..." his expression turned deadly. "...then so be it.

"Now if you'll excuse me..." he said, flicking his hair once more and turning away.

[DragonJLB]

"Ha! Then why do you wish to side with us. Some thing tell's me their's more evil to do on the other side. But why would evil chose to desrtoy another, unless it was too weak do do it on it's own." Josh was watching Destined's movement, studying it to see if their was any reaction, or if Destined just ignore him.

 

" Well this is some thing to think about. But not to worrie for if it's true then after the battle's over and you try to rise as the new evil, like a turky trying to fly away from the hunter, you'll be shot down." With that Josh turned and walked back over to Yaming.

 

" That is some thing we'll have to watch. When he make's his move, many more will die or he will." Josh word's seemed worried, but more for Destined then for the many to die from the battle.

" To be so strong and to be so lost." With that Josh sat down and closed his eye's.

[Tempest Dahlia]

Destined looked at his fingernails. Perfect, as always. He decided not to answer Josh with a dignified response. However, he just couldn't resist calling the foolish hero and idiot.

"... You are such an idiot."

With that, he walked slightly away from Josh's rant and began delving in his own thoughts. In a few minutes his plan wilk come together; in a few hours, he'd have control over the entire Southern Military will be his to command. He didn't have time to waste on petty arguments. "Black... It's time."

[LuffyLaxer]

Tiberius was walking along quietly in the slave quarters. He was walking slow because of his wounds he received. Then he heard voices whispering to each other. Tiberius looked at the backs of four guys as they were looking around a corner. Destined was talking to Josh. So these men are trying to free us? Tiberius thought as he walked towards them, making sure to make noise so that they could hear him. Maybe they could help me get out of here. No more torture for me.

Tiberius realized he wasn't out of the prison yet so he continued to walk towards them, making sure to make noise so they could hear him coming.

[Ultimate Assassin Ninjew]

Kisune decided to stop asking questions because obviously they were becoming a waste of his time. He watched as Tiberius walked off, seemingly to just leave the old man behind. He decided to follow and he got closer to the group of slaves, consisting of ones who had just arrived with obvious newcomers. Soon he began to hear of a war that was going to break out from all the whispers. "What's going on here?" he asked the slaves as he rattled a random bone against the cell bars loudly. He was very curious as to why these slaves began to talk of war, when they were trapped here with collars around their necks.

[Skippy Canoe]

 

Bellis' brain usage had reduced rapidly for a while, which caused her strange dream state as Destined spoke to the group. She remembered to breath, and still could see, but being attacked hurt her inside more than she thought. Her mind wasn't as strong and unbreakable as she thought before. Now she was afraid. Without her powers, bravery, or even her dignity, she had nothing to hold on to.

 

Avia immediately knew her place among the others, and took her proper seat. Listening to others speaking, she wondered if she would ever get to speak besides during roll call. Hoping William would call upon her to say something, she sat through the meeting as it began.

[-Genesis-]

At Koya's comment about Kallen beating up the delegates Akima laughed lightly, "I get your point. They're probably much better off than we are." He smiled a bit and the heard someone approaching, "Hey every one we've got more company!" (He heard Tiberius)

 

As the other commander was cut off Kyou waited, and asked, "And your question is what commander? You never finished." She sat back and glanced over he shoulder at Kallen and then at Eden, Lee, Saul, Amber, and Elizabeth, who were behind her near the wall.

 

Then Bordimour burst in. Kyou remained calm and hoped that the others did as well. She looked up at Bordimour with a confident expression, "Lord Bordimour, I do have his blessing, but it was my decision to come here for this..." Then Kyou noticed Kiria, Alisa, and Ike standing behind Lana and Hachi, *What! They're here too? Why?* She maintained a straight face and continued, "But what I would like to know why there are people of the West here during negotiations between the North and South."

 

Lana looked past Bordimour at the delegates of the North and didn't recognize any of them and turned to look at the smirk on Bordimour's face. *That mean's that this woman must be either important or powerful... or both.*

 

Kiria looked past everyone at Kallen and disregarded the protocol of the delegations. He started to walk around Lana, Hachi, Vera, and Lord Bordimour to stand up front.

 

Alisa realized what he was doing and reached to stop him, but she was too late. He'd already gotten pst Vera and in front. "Hello Kallen, it's been a while. I haven't seen you since that attack on that Western Military Outpost. So what are you doing with the North?" Kiria smiled to himself, *Whatever she's doing here, it seems we were right. That group did go north, otherwise Kallen wouldn't be here. But what is she doing here?*

 

Cougar was standing at a table with the Professor's two top captain that were left behind, "Alright so what is the condition of the soldiers, or rebels, and the weaponry?"
