Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Then may you both burn in hell" Kite voice echoed from the dust.Kite rose from the dust shaking off the shock of being hit by Ace's soul lightning.Kite disappeared from the spot where he stood and he appeared in front of Renji kneeing him in his stomach.Kite knelt a little looking as if he was about to take off into the sky, "Flame Flip" Kite legs caught fire and flipped back his legs connecting with Renji's chin.Kite disappeared from in front of Renji and appeared in front of Ace bringing his foot down Ace's head.Kite stood in front of Ace,"Higan!" Kite pulled back a fist and began punching Ace's chest at high speeds burning into his chest due to the heat coming from his fist.Kite stepped back and kicked Ace away and speed toward him as Ryuujin appeared in his hand.Kite lifted his sword above his head and attempted to swing at Ace's rib.

Though it may seem Renji was hit multiple times, the injuries were nothing but a few bruises. He felt Ace put his hand on him, then suddenly he felt a powerful pulse explod from Ace into Renji. His body felt more tense and different now, as empower.

"Ha! Now Ace, I respect what you are and love what you're thinking!" Renji said as his dark purple eyes began to swirl with blue energy. His whole aura fill with the mi of dark purple and blue energy in him. "Now Kite, you have bought it to this........time to die!"

The blast headed Ace's way was split apart. It shot around him as the wind surrounding his body broke into the fire and distinguished. Frost started to form on his body. The air grew cold as it started to slow and stop. The thunderstorm from above dampened the air and the ground. The water on the ground formed to ice, the rain turned to a sudden hail. "The world turns cold. Air slows down and life stops in place. Wind, element of nature, powerful and destructive. Be my savior!" The storm stopped. The wind dropped low and picked up. The icy winds shot back at Kite in response to the sudden heated air, bringing in more clouds and darkening the sky.

"Oh, so you think, that's going to stop me! Ha! Ferran, you have no idea what I have already invested in........," Renji said as he got up, his wounds healing due to his power. He still held his lighting sword at hand, as he gain much larger everytime he got hit during this skirmsh.

"So far, this whole scene of fighting and super-natural powrs, has gone exactly as I've plan.......and the king, he may signed the treaty.......but he doesn't trust you, and one slipped up from your kind means we will see the greatest destructed war of all time," Renji said as a dark void open up behind him. He began to step backwards staring at everyone with a evil stare.

"Come Ace, this isn't time to quarrel with these fools......," With that Renji disappear within the void, leaving it open for Ace momentarily.

"Thanks Ferran, I was kind of in a pinch there.So whats the plan? We are back to square one,except now Cynn is missing." Kite looked at Ferran a little confused."Who's this king you spoke of?"

(heheh, you have a diety by your side, but I have a chained up god in my basement. The only problem is that he's chained up right now sweatdrop )

Shadow stared down the great beast in the chamber beneath the city. "My lord, the prophecy still continues to go on. As for Ace, he himself seems to be having trouble." Shadow spoke calmly to the giant mesh of metal and blood that behold him. "Why are you here, should you not be making the world a lighter place?" The booming voice echoed back at him. "Yes, well. There seems to be a problem with that. I seem to have, lost the ability to fight." Shadow whispered back. "I came back to claim what I have earned." The chains stopped rattling, the deep heavy breath stopped. "So, you wish to take back your magicks? Happy to say that they are not here. It seems that your brother has them."

Shadow stood in front of the large demon laughing to himself. Miles beneath the city, Shadow paced back and forth continuously. He walked in circles for about an hour before he could figure what he needed to do. "My own BROTHER has them? How am I supposed to find him? He is probably dead under a rock somewhere! Lord forbid that he ever figures out the difference between East and West."
((Literally))

Shadow threw his sword to the ground and grabbed at his shoulder. The mechanical joints getting cold and frosty from being away from heat pulled at his muscles. He bent down and sat on the floor next to the pedestal, pawing at his hair. "Where do I start? Chances are that he wont even hand them over. Kill me in the process no doubt." Shadow stood up from his position and kicked the pedestal behind him only to injure his own foot. He looked back to the God that lay in the room near him as it grinned and snarled back. "Just give in, you know that you can't find him, even if you do, it shall only lead to your death."

Shadow looked down then back at it. "Maybe, but that is better than nothing" He said. He turned away and flipped his coat over and stormed out of the room, stopping only to grab the light orb on his way out and back to the royal city. An hour of climbing, he reached daylight and embraced the light that shined into his eyes. He closed the door that led to the Dark Mercenaries dungeon and locked it. He turned from it with despise and continued down the path into the city. He turned towards the fishing side of the city when he stopped suddenly. In his path stood a man his height.

"So, looking for your brother eh?" The man reached up to his cloak over his face and ripped it off. "Mind if I help?" Jack exclaimed loudly to him in a cheerful act. "You think ya can run off that easily without me noticing that both you and Albel gone missing? You should know your allies better than that." Shadow looked back to Jack while still holding onto his arm for warmth. "I see, you followed my ship here? Or just happen to know where I'm going?" Shadow asked back. "Oh, more than that my friend, I don't just know where you are, but I know how to find your brother to." Jack said back to Shadow. The two nodded to each other and ran to the docks, it was time to set sail.

"So, where are we setting sail next?" Shadow asked patiently to Jack. "Surely you know exactly if not the general area of our next target?" Shadow paced around the deck as the ship set off.

"Well, not exactly. But I know what Island he now calls home." Jack replied back joyously. "The only island that crosses through the prime meridian and the equator. We go for Flourgis!" He declared loudly.

"Flourgis? Well, if he's in the center of the world i guess he doesn't have to worry about his directions of going east or west. It's going to be warm there though, so no problems for us." Shadow replied back.

"Warm isn't the most of it, not to mention the active volcanoes he lives near." Jack said back modestly. "So, dress for warm weather, it's going to get hot soon."
