Kakairo laid on her back against the cool stone of the seats. Her hands were laced together on top of her stomach. Jade eyes bore into the abyss above her. She was letting her mind wander, sometimes a dangerous thing for her. Though she wasn't allowed to get far when a soft white light flashed not 5 feet from her. Kakairo closed her eyes.

"I'm busy." she growled at the being she sensed.

"I can tell." It was a male's voice. He tried to sound apathetic but a hint of sarcasm escaped.

He wouldn't leave. She didn't expect him to and neither did she turn to identify him. She knew what she would see. And angel, though decked in a full body cloak of white so pure that it glistened. Kai took the time to wonder if there wasn't some neat sparkly effect like most thought, but that they just had one helluva stain remover. She had to bite her tongue to keep from laughing at that. A hood would be covering his face and only the 20-foot dove wings were the parts of his body showing.

"Well, what do you want?" she asked.

"I have a mission from the Council. A low grade demon is reeking havoc on a small town on Earth. You have to destroy it."

Kakairo wanted to scream. If they were going to have her do mission, at least give her something that would be fun. She had been doing these miniscule mission on and off for the Council for God know's how long. After the Damion incident, they had only then become aware of the Arena's existance, and intended to continue in the late-angel's plan in destroying it. It took a lot of effort, but Kakairo persuaded them to allow her to do the missions. In return, they left the Arena and the inhabitants alone.

It seemed weird having a demoness-turned-fallen-angel helping an angelic council. Though since they had to deal with the ever increasement of humanity's corruption plus the more higher leveled demons, they have had their plates over-filling and any thrustworthy volunteer work would be nice. Not saying that she had much of choice to call it "volunteer work".

She felt a parchment being put on her stomach. It explained her target and the place it's at.

"You know what to do." The messenger said.

"Yeah, whatever." And he disappeared. Only then did she reopen her eyes. She glared at the abyss again for another minute before taking the parchment into her hands (refrained herself from crushing it), hopped to her feet, made a space sphere appear in front of her, and jumped through it.

((After all the above happened and they left))

A space of wall opened in the arena and Zaira walked out, two orbs floating around her head playfully, one blue, the other black.
Also flying around her, was a dragon, no bigger than her fist, it was red and slender.
She stopped just outside the door as it slid shut behind her, and, pointing her finger out twords the center of the arena she said to it "Okay little guy, show me what you can do" and on command it flew out into the arena and landed.
A moment later it suddenly grew up to the full size of an adult, western breed dragon.
Looking around the arena it roared loudly then turned to face Zaira, who approched it as it lowered it's head down to her level, snorting at her when she got close.
Her face suddenly lit up as she hugged the great beasts nose "That was excellent!" she shouted and the dragon started whimpering and wagging it's tail like a happy puppy.
She released the dragons muzzle and asked "Well, can you breath fire?" the dragon lifted it's head high and shot a large stream of flames from it's nose & mouth while letting out a triumphant roar.

((^^ Nice to see you here, ZenZen.))

A glistening dark blue sphere opened at the dragon's feet. It up-chucked a boy of 13 onto the Arena.  

[Jiyan Cala]

((upchuck is a funny word... heh heh))  

[Zenzen810]

((Been waiting for him to show up >.>))

Zaira's attention was drawn from the dragons preformance to the space sphere that opened up in front of it as it threw a small boy out onto the dirt floor, clutching a small sword.
She ventured closer to him cautiously. Not many new people had shown up in the past few years, or so she assumed. She had been locked up in Sotaru's lab for who knows how long studying, so there could have been a whole slew of people that had come, they just weren't here right now.
Getting closer to the boy she calmly asked him "Hey, are you okay?" the dragon peering down at him.

 

[onime]

((*takes up a net and tranquilizer* I'll get him here in a bit, Zenzen. ^^))  

[Rem Severem]

"He looks fine." Said an almost board voice halfway between childhood and manhood. The one who'd spoke sat, literally, in mid air with one elbow on his knee, a fist under his chin not more than a foot from the woman.
He was a boy slightly older than the one who'd just been so unceremoniously injected into the odd arena. His clothing was fairly typical, a band t-shirt, some well worn black jeans and a pair of combat boots. Unruly black hair was mussed up over his head letting a single lock, about an inch wide, of silver fall to the side of his left eye. His gold eyes were piercing with a ring of black around the edges that seemed to shift as he looked at the boy on the arena floor. One eye took a blue tinge whilst the other took a red hue. "I'll be damned." He muttered more to himself than anyone else.
Gold eyes shifted from the boy to the woman. His heart thumped slightly for a moment as teenage hormones assaulted him before shaking his head almost imperceptibly. "Sorry for being so rude." He said flashing a winning smile showing off inhumanly pointed eye teeth. "The name's Tamnir Rhyzad." He said extending the hand that had been holding up his chin in greeting.  

[xrysos]

((So, what, we all are still going with 'we know eachother'? Easy enough.))

A flutter of back wings swept across the arena. He spotted someone familiar and beelined towards her. Ignoring the dragon in the middle of the arena and the levitating man, he flew over to Zaira. The raven settled on her head and peered at the boy who had arrived here.
"What's all the commotion?" Aergan cocked his head to the right to look at the new kid through his visual-spectrum eye. "Who's the new kid? He doesn't look so special. So has pseudo-Hell's standards decreased?"

 

[onime]

((Yep.))

A space sphere openned nearby and allowed Rem, Jack, and Kai to enter the Arena.  

[Zenzen810]

Zaira's head whipped around when she heard a voice from behind her. A confused look came across hr face when she saw another young person who she had not known existed in the arena.
She looked at his hand rather blankly then smiled and shook it "Nice to meetcha Tamnir, I'm Zaira, Zaira Rosewater."
The smile disappeared once again when she felt something land on her head, although returned once hearing it speak "Yeah, I don't know what's going on, I don't remember this becoming a daycare center."
Her head whipped around again when the new space sphere opened up, the quick motion slightly dislodged Aergan but she could still feel him up there.
Her jaw dropped when she saw Jack, Rem & Kai all step through ~I guess today was a good day to come out of the fortress of solitude~ she thought to herself "Who planned the family reunion and didn't bother to tell me?" she shouted over to the new three that had entered.

 

[xrysos]

Aergan flapped a bit to regain balance on Zaira's head, then saw the three enter the arena. "Rem!! Kai!!" He hopped off his perch and glided over to Kai's shoulder. "Long time no see, I guess. Who died this time?"

Behind Zaira opened up a greenish, swirling portal. Akume stuck his head out of it excitedly, his blue hair was stained a dark green in places. "Hey, hey, Dad! You'll never guess what Kazan and I found--" He paused and looked around, spotting Kai and Rem. He clambered clumsily out of the hole and wrapped the two of them in a rough hug, which caused Aergan to become unbalanced and fall. "Haven't seen you two in what feels like forever!!" His body had what seemed to be slightly glowing, viscous, dark green goo all over it.

 

[Jiyan Cala]

Jack walked though the portal to his old friends and shouted back at his old friend Zaria. "I wasnt planning to come here, but I accidentally blew up my car sooo... you know" Jack looked over at Aergan whom failed to take notice to him, which may have bee cause Jack was still covered in black and unrecogniseable "yeah thanks Aergan, what am I, cow crap??" Jack asked, realizing after he said it, that maybe he shouldnt  

[Rem Severem]

Rem grinned widely. "Ah it's been too long. And this time no one had to die for us to be tossed into the same pot." She chuckled.
A small surprised 'eep' escaped Rem when a gooey Akume squeezed her in a happy embrace. The goo wouldn't be permanently ground into her skin, that was... if she was lucky. "As nice as it is to see you Akume, what the hell are you covered in?"

Tamnir ignored Zaira's comment about "day care", for all he knew the woman was older than his mother, and his mother was OLD. Even a 40 year old man could be considered a tot when standing next to his mother and the 'aunt' she'd told him so much about. His bright eyes perused the reunion site with a well muted interest. His mind raced to place descriptions with people. A half smile tugged at his mouth. He had to admit, if only to himself, that it was like having all the characters out of your favorite bed time story march out of your closet and have tea in your room.  

[xrysos]

Akume let the two of them go and held out his shirt to get a good look at it. "Ah, that! I just found an deposit of exotemporal waste is all. It's harmless. It's like glowstick stuff, only it tastes better." He pulled a disgusted face and spat out some of the stuff. "But not by much. It doesn't stain, don't worry. It just sits there and glows." He walked back to the portal in the ground, waved cheerily, and dropped back into it. The portal closed behind him.

Aergan looked up at Jack and found that concept irritating. He transformed back into his usual enormous self and patted the charred Jack on the head. "Oh, I knew it was you. You're just back-burner person. Literally." He sent a blank stare over at the person he didn't know, sensing his amusement. "Who's a bedtime story?"
