Welcome to Gaia! ::

Chapter 1: The Dark Blood.
It all began in a time of peace, where each region lived in happyness. It was true that, as with all places, the world had few problems that couldn't solved by the people.
In a great city long since forgotten lived the mighty Dark Blood clan, they were given their name from the way they did business, hiding in dark corners and lurking in the shadows. The leader of The Dark Blood at this time was known as Shikano, he was a greedy man with world dominance as his goal and callus fear of death. Although his greed, far outweighed his fears.
The Dark Blood robbed, killed and controlled much of The Great City. They were considered as petty thugs dispite their powerful influence over the people. Shikano often loved to ride in a carrige in the open plains for amusement, it was his way of beleiving that all the world belonged to him.
It wasn't long before more regions weilded their own clans, groups of people working together for a cause. The clans began to clash and damage the properties of those that were uninvolved. Noting that the threat was rising Shikano sent out mercenaries and assasins to wipe out the other clans, with a great smile on his face he was assured his 'empire' was protected...Untill one dark day...

Shikano was out in his carrage heading through the streets and towards the plains, the sky was dark and lightning was clashing above like waring beasts. All of a sudden rain began to fall on the ground, it was unusually quick to fall as if just suddenly summoned from the heavens. Shikano thought nothing of the sudden rain, it had been usual for the rain to fall in errie ways lately, untill the carrage suddenly stopped. Shikano was startled by the sudden stopping of his carrage but was not one to lose his composure, he'd often had practice doing so during the time when the other clans appeared. A guard called out about deaths on the side of the road, he seemed to be yelling questions to a small child who was standing in the middle of many dead bodies, each with wounds peircing through them like spikes had stabbed them.
This dark child with blue hair held an air of dominance in the way he stood unfazed by the deaths, he looked at the commander of The Dark Blood with confident mencing eyes just moments before a spike shot out of the ground inpaling the commander. Shikano watched in amasement as the dark child turned his focus onto him, it was not fear that gripped him, it was quite the opposite. Shikano only saw the child as a weapon that could be used to decimate his foes, not as a creature meant to be feared.
Shikano stepped out of his carrage, the childs eyes following him. He stepped closer to the child, the child continuing to stand where he was. Shikano stood close to the child and smiled his greedy smile, the child smiled the same way back...
BANG! The carrage exploded, spikes sticking out of it in nearly every direction before returning to the water and letting the remains fall to the ground.
"Do you have a name?" Shikano asked the child in his normal voice, his greed blinding him to the truth.
The child began to change his shape altering as if it was made from the water, it formed again as an adult and spoke. "My name is Dash, what's yours?"

It didn't take long for Shikano to convince Dash to join, Shikano beleived he had talked the strange creature into being his loyal pet. The creature calling itself Dash had it's own plans, he was only interested in the power provided.
Over the next few days Shikano used Dash to destroy any new clans, Dash would follow his orders and go one step thurther, he killed everyone he saw in his own missions including those on his own side. No remains were found by the authorities, assumtions were made that the bodies were destroyed by Dash, but with no proof they left The Dark Blood alone.
Many nights Dash was no where to be found, Shikano had faith in his new pet but he knew not to let it run wild. During these times away Dash leveled villages leaving no remains, he raided clans and wiped out their members.
It wasn't long before some of the smaller clans formed a larger clan known as The Honourable Blood, their name taken from their constant efforts to undermine the authority of The Dark Blood. Shikano was worried about this up and coming threat aswell as a growing clan everyone called The Eternal Brotherhood.
Shikano gathered his commanders of The Dark Blood and told them of his plans. "We will strike them down with all our might, and take their home area...Dash will command our men and opt on my orders." This would be Shikanos last mistake...

Dash followed orders perfectly, The Dark Blood began to win against The Honourable Blood. The Dark Blood had the great advantage of better trained fighters. Now came the storm, rain beating down on the ground and Dash smiling evilly. "I have my orders!" He shouted out as everyone on the battlefeild was impaled by spikes of water, he'd killed friend and foe alike, sparing only one. The person who escaped was almost killed by a spike to make it seem like Dash missed.
The person who escaped told everyone of what happened and of how Dash was 'ordered' to kill everyone. It was perfect, no one expected the dutyful servant of thinking for himself, afterall Dash never disobayed orders.
Then it began, the rebellion against Shikano, Dash stood next to Shikano killing those that got close, his cherade convincing to both sides. After a while Dash turned to Shikano. "They think you are unworthy...Lets give them someone worthy." And with that Shikano was killed, impaled on Dash's arms, now their blood would truly be Dark...

The Eternal Brotherhood, a clan that had been barely noticed untill recently, was lead by a man named Dante Efbo Deshar. This was well known because of his habbit of telling his name to new people before talking to them or engaging them in battle. Dante was an unknown on the World of Conflict who seemed to appear just as suddenly as Dash, however unlike the new leader of The Dark Blood Dante Built his clan from the ground up...Including the name.
Dante recruited many of his members from the Desert and Volcano regions, taking care to select fighters who's skill were higher then most, he didn't care for the value of strength, just the value of being able to weave around attacks and escape alive.
The Brotherhood soon became known for helping people and other clans, they formed alliances with other clans for their help. The Brotherhood soon lost those alliances, Dash visited those clans during times when he was away from The Dark Blood, he killed them all leaving The Brotherhood with no contacts...

When The Dark Blood and The Eternal Brotherhood clashed no clan would get in their way, one powerful clan was bad enough but these two powerful clans had vendettas against each other.
It soon became apparent that The Eternal Brotherhood was made of people who'd either had their friends or family killed by The Dark Blood, they consisted of people who were acting on revenge.
Although their need for revenge was great The Eternal Brotherhood always took heed of others, they never sacrificed others for their own needs.
The Dark Blood however sacrficed what ever they felt like, led by the dark creature known as Dash they were soon hated by most people.
Soon only two clans remained, everyone else feared that theirs would be torn apart by one of the two waring clans that had lasted so long...

Soon the day came, the day that had been rumored to be the end of the clan wars. Integrated into the town The Eternal Brotherhood began their final push to defeat the dark creature terrising the lands.
Not much is known of this day as there were only two survivors.
It has been said that the two leaders clashed this day for the first time, the result? The newly dubbed Desolate City.
Both clans were temporarily wiped out, soon to become strong again.
With this destruction came a new hope for the land as The Brotherhood mourned their losses and The Dark Blood smirked at their victory a great force descended from the sky to take it's place on the plains... The Neutral Alliance had arrived...

Over the next few years the clans continued to clash, The Neutral Alliance built their great city and created a ressurection point to reveive fallen fighters. Soon the two clans stood at a stalemate and the Neutral Zone began to fill with residents that hated the war.
A man named Tylen joined The Dark Blood in hopes of getting revenge for his parents deaths, he targetted The Eternal Brotherhood with his malus and hate. The dark creature Dash used this person to help push the war out of a stalemate and take many a land to become the greater power.
A man named Lasche joined The Eternal Brotherhood to help take down the pending threat, this man was fueled by rage and drew that as his power.

Soon the day came when The Dark Blood made it's strike, through the deaths of many of his own men Dash took the land of the desert. Upon The Dark Bloods victory The Eternal Brotherhood fell back to the volcanos. Soon the forest became known to the people of the land and the Z5 made their appearance, that was when things began to fall apart.
The Z5 members, lead by Roger, began to stray from their orders...This soon ended with them leaving the Z5 for other careers/clans.
Tylen had met with a man named Kirai, this caused him to question his powerful boss. Lasche lost his memories for more power removing his ties with the Brotherhood. And finally, Dash put his new plan into motion...

Not long after the teams divided a great flood engulfed the land. Dash, the creature that had cause this, could be spotted moments before the floods as he returned to the sea. But not only did the land flood but so did the sky and rain and typhoons rained fown from above, to add insult to injury strange watery creature began to run amuk.
Dante, leader of The Eternal Brotherhood, stood that time at the beach near the waters edge. He took on many of the creatures but had to fall back, one object was located out at sea before he was pushed back.
On the great islands the greatest of the clans gathered and conspired, they knew Dash had to be stopped and they now had a way to stop him, if they took down the facility perhapse he would lose some of his power.
On the day of the distant moon the seas lay quiet, now they struck, from the forest, beach, volcano and mountains the infiltrated the faciliy in their own ways...

Inside the facility lay dark and trecherous hallways, many rooms had clones of Dash walking around. Everyone entered thought their own ways, they had been left separated and open to attack. But their isolation was not meant to be...
First to emerge in the compound was Tylen, a former member of The Dark Blood searching for answers. He was confident with his opinion that he could kill Dash. Next in was Dante, he blasted his way in through the side a covering his tracks behind him. Following behind Tylen, Roger of the former Z5 entered the Facility, he was overconfident as usual which seemed to irritate Tylen...
Although the facility seemed empty there was infact someone there, someone was watching everyone there. Dash sat in the master control room, watching them gather like cattle.
Tylen ran through the maze from door to door untill he located some of Dash's clones, he easily dispatched the workforce and moved on to find Dante resting in what looked like a cafeteria.
Up next was Lasche, upon arriving he started searching the complex to no avail. Meanwhile Dante and Tylen continued their conversation.
Dash sat in the control room, it is unknown what caused him toact but he began sending waves of dark soldiers through the facility...

Dante and Tylen soon found out the original owners of the facility, and it seems Dante was of there race. Meanwhile Saphirose had entered and found himself in a spot of trouble, the dark soldiers had found him.
The more they searched the more they found of Dante's race, it seemed to get to him.
Now arrived Karitemaru, a sort of rogue figure who seemed to hang around, he isolated himself from the group to gain a stealth advantage.
Soon Dante's fears became true, he found his parents hidden in the jails of the facility. Now a darkness grew over him, Demi wanted out.
Demi took no time in angering Tylen and bringing out Tylens angered form, the angered form seemed to have a touch of insanity about it as it continued to point out mistakes Demi was suppossedly making and laughing at what he imagined to be Demi's fear. Demi ignored the creature anyway since he didn't care what happened, he got hit by poisonous spikes and many traps and emerged unscathed due to his healing abilities. But soon Demi was to leave just as Tylens form did too, Dante returned to normal and awoke as if he'd been asleep...

The groups split, Tylen and Saphirose went for the main computer and Dash went for Dante, each with their own plan.
Dante soon faced off against Dash and took some injuries, he fled the battle to hear an announcement by Tylen but the announcement didn't come and Roger had joined the fight.
Rogers arrigance blinded him to Dash's power, remarks such as 'little drop of water' were meaningless to a battle veteran. Roger made mistake after mistake and simply powered Dash up even more and broke the comm system. The battle ended swifty as Dash left, the number of peoplke made the battle pointless and he'd easily knocked them down.
Soon Dante located Dash and the battle began again, it wasn't long before Dash had Dante pinned down and something mysterious happened, from Dante's sword emerged a creature, a summon from Dante's world. "Adreos."

The battle still ended in Dash's favour as Dante was left on his own to die, Dante was saved by the most unlikely of people...Roger...
The battle was soon to began again as Dante healed and Tylen arrived at their location, this time the battle was Tylen vs Dash while Dante made an escape route out of the facility.
Soon the battle took a dark turn as the killer of Tylens parents were revealed, it had been Dash all along.
After the battle it was revealed that the structor of the facility was ready to fall at any moment, everyone began to flee.
When everyone else fled Dante sealed the tunnel off, he was now alone with Dash, it was now time to end it, or so he thought.
After a one sided battle Dante was taken down easily, but then came Demi, on the edge of defeat Dante unleashed Demi.
Demi angered Dash, he pushed the prophesy on Dash and laughed at his accomplishment before he faded away again leaving Dante uncontious. Dante was drifted out to sea as the facility collapsed behind...

It wasn't long before Dash emerged from the sea, he headed towards the plains to complete his plan.
Troubled by their ancestors bodies being found, fighters staged a buriel, they buried the bodies in the hallowed soil of the graveyard.
Dante was no where to be found, had he died? Of course not, you wouldn't beable to know of him today if he had.
Dash put his plan into motion again, bringing all the water he'd flooded over the land to himself, the water rose up into a large pillar that stood high into the sky, condensed beyond any chance of entering.
It was now that Dante emerged, and from a tornado no less. One that stood high in the sky and protected a village that lay inside.
With no one being able to penetrate the piller of water, all that was left was to wait...Just simply wait, untill one day...
