Welcome to Gaia! ::

A small little boy, around the age of 8, was walking around the ever so famous Japanese city: Tokyo. The boy was a tad bit tall for his age, but only by a couple inches, though it's not like that mattered as everyone walking around him towered over him as if they were all giants and the boy was just a midget. Now this partially upset the boy as, pouting as he walked down the street, secretly plotting the death and destruction of anyone taller than him that walked by. It was useless though, the boy couldn't kill any of them, not yet, not with other Shamans out there. Though, he had no idea about the X-Laws and such, not even his beloved spirit, Terra, knew anything about them, hell, the girl barely knew about Shamans period. The more and more the boy thought about how he was unable to make his powers known to the realm of humans, the more upset he got to the point where he actually stomped his feet in frustration, threw his arms back, and shouted out in anger.

"TERRA! Why can't we?! I mean, it's not like anyone would notice, you know, it's a big place, people can go missing at any time, right?!" His little outburst, of course, caused some people to start to notice him further than just a glance. It was then that they'd notice the small looking Scythe that was hiding behind the small backpack on the boy's back. A look of horror almost appeared on all of the adult's faces and the boy's face turned a bit white when he realized what he had done. "Eh...hehehehe, Ummm.....Just cosplaying, ya know, nothing too serious here, nothing to see, move along now." His words got some murmur out of the adults, but eventually everyone just continued on like nothing special had happened, greatest part about being in Japan, as long as they thought the weapon was fake no one would give a s**t if he had a scythe or not.

Finally, his spirit came out to answer his call, as an 18 year old girl seemed to of appeared out of nowhere, dressing in an old fashion red dress, it was kinda poofy, in Alexander's opinion, but in the end it didn't matter. The strange thing was, was at first, instead of feet, the girl's legs seemed to form into some sort of ghostly wavy line....of course, there's the fact that she was actually a ghost, but hey, nothing too important in Alexander's opinion. He looked a bit disgusted at her, he hated her in that state, she, of course, noticed his discomfort and smiled sheepishly. Instantly her legs returned to normal, making her look like a completely normal human being, besides the fact that one but Alexander could see her, besides other shamans of course.

"Forgive me Alex, I often forget about that, forgive me darling?" The girl, Terra, spoke to Alexander much like a mother, and strangely enough, the little boy, who just moments before wanted to kill everything, smiled and even hugged her tightly. "It's ok Terra, your my best friend, so you can get away with pretty much anything." His smile grew into a wide grin, normally he would of asked for a piggy back ride, however, to everyone else it's look like a little boy floating strangely in the air, so he didn't want to risk it at all, instead, he took Terra's hand and began to walk forwards with her, still waiting for her to answer his question.

"Well, you see Alex, if we start to kill the humans, and too many of them, other Shamans will realize that the killings were unnatural, and then they'd start to look for an evil Shaman, or at least, evil by their standards, which we both know are wrong. But remember, we can't blame them for their thinking, they've been misinformed, it's not their fault, but...they still need to be eliminated so we can begin to eliminate the humans. Eventually everything will be under our feet, but until then, we must start out with the Shamans. Ok?" When she finished talking, she smiled sweetly at Alexander, who smiled back at her and nodded.

"But, Terra....I don't want to wait that long, you realize it would take years to do that?! I mean, com'on, isn't there an easier way to do all of this?" Alexander looked up at Terra with an eager look in his eyes, he clearly was a bit impatient, but due to his love for Terra, like an older sister, he was willing to be a bit more patient than normal. "Alex...I guess we could go get really really really strong and then get loads of attention and kill them all at once! But...I'm not sure how strong we'd have to be in order to do that, I mean, there's bound to be loads of Shamans in the world, and think about it, they must have some sort of leader. I mean, we'd have to have lots of power to do something like that so quickly....and I wouldn't begin to know where to start. I suppose we could try to just train our moves, but, without any real battle experience we'd still suck in a battle, no matter how strong we'd be. So see, we should just take it one fight at a time so we can make sure that we'd live."

"Awwww, Ok ok ok....I guess your right....Heh, silly me, big sis Terra is always right." As they finished their overly strange conversation, Terra and Alexander continued to walk down the streets. And, even though he didn’t ask for a piggy back ride because he wanted to avoid any strange looks, people were still looking at him funny because he was holding Terra’s hand, and to them it looked like he was just pretending to hold someone’s hand. He even heard someone whisper something along the lines of how he must have been lost and didn’t have his mother.

Maku was one of the people in the crowd, having their lives mocked by a ridiculous girl with wings. Maku followed the suspicious girl an stopped behind a corner as caught sight of her flying closer to some scythe carrying boy. Maku wasn't sure which side was which but he couldn't help but look around, take a trash can lid, and hold the handle tightly, prepared to use it as a makeshift shield.

The smile on Vertia's face would grow even larger. This boy's spirit feared her, the boy even feared her now, able to tell by the shaking of his hands. Of course then standing up to him. She admired this....a bit...maybe...deep down inside of whatever she called a heart, but he had spoken so much, and made so many motions, did everything, but two things. He didn't answer the girl's question, and didn't give her the scythe. Which was the completely wrong move on his part.

Vertia's arm would be soon held out in the boy's direction. The bracelet on her arm shifting into a blaster of sorts. "I didn't hear an answer to my question, and I don't have a scythe in my hand." She said the smile on her face couldn't get any wider at this point, otherwise it would have. "I admire your enthusiasm I think, but that's not what matters." She said, her Furyoku pouring into the gun on her hand in mass quantities. A ball of energy being visibly charged at the very tip of the blaster. "So, I'll send you to hell for a bit, for not doing what I wanted." As she said this a blast of energy would be fired directly at the boy in such a close range, the blast being big enough to likely engulf two stacks of two cars on top of each other next to each other. The Blast would engulf the boy, likely, but not only that leave a large crater in the middle of the city, as well as kill a few non-shaman bystanders.

The girl smiling at her 'Success' would simply float over to the boy and chuckle. The crying spirit made it all the much better for the sadistic girl as she would hold her gun in the direction of the spirit. "Shut up crybaby." She said to the spirit already charging up another ball it seemed. "I don't care about that, he didn't answer me, or give me his scythe he needed to be punished for that and that alone." Her words slurred a bit cutely. "I intended to bring him back, but if I kill you, there's no coming back." Her free hand moving to hover over the boy. Furyoku visibly being poured from her arm into the child's body. With the smile still on her face, the ball of energy in the blaster stopped charging as she would convert her blaster back into a bracelet. The boy would be revived easily by the girl, who now leaned down, looking at the child and smiling still. "Tell me child, how was hell?" She asked him, tauntingly. "Was it beautiful?"

The only thing, in the world and beyond that could make this girl completely upset and stop smiling just happened. Looking at the boy with a frown, before walking away, she seemed calm, until she slammed her fist through the hood of a car. Into the engine, the energy of it converting into Furyoku as she absorbed it, turning her Furyoku to it's max. Of course, this didn't last long...at all. Her gun formed once more, and she pointed it in the direction of a building. A rather large skyscraper that seemed important definitely. "WHY THE ******** IS HELL A DAYCARE!?" She shouted, and then blasted a clean shot of nearly all her furyoku at the building. The sheer amount of it caused it to explode on impact with the building, and cleaned out about a whole two to three stories of it, as well as causing it to fall from having no bottom and collapse.

Looking at the child for a moment with the frown she shook her head. "I don't wanna take over that stupid place." She said and then looked up at the sky and started to float away. "I wonder what Heaven is like..." She said smiling once more. "I'll find out somehow, see you later scythe boy and crybaby." She said to them waving and flying away.

The little boy only stood there in wonder as the girl just seemed to fly off without a care. How could she do that? Announce something as important as that and then....just leave? How often would Alexander find someone that he actually likes? Knowing this frustrated the child a little bit, especially since the girl talked about Heaven. Humpf....what a stupid place to care about anyways....Heaven, I'll destroy it....before she gets a chance to see it! He thought to himself in his own little strange victory. Alexander finally felt the pain that his entire body was going through as the numb feeling from being revived slowly slipped away, leaving him with the feeling of having been rammed by a truck. Realizing the pain, Alexander sat down on the ground, pressing a button on his scythe that made it retract into a small sickle looking weapon. With a wave of his hand, Terra sat down with him, smiling slightly at the fact that her friend and companion was still alive.

She was about to ask him if Hell really was like how he said it was, but then a strange man, someone that Alexander had noticed before but paid no attention to, had walked up to them and commented on the scenes he had just seen. As he started to walk away, Alexander realized that this person had to of been a shaman too, and he wasn't giving off the same evil aura that the girl was, meaning Alexander would probably enjoy killing the man. Unfortunately, Alexander was in no shape to be fighting, the pain in his body wasn't strong enough to make him unable to move, but his movements would be sluggish. He could use one of his most favorite techniques, however, he just plain and simply didn't feel like taking the effort to kill someone. One day....I will kill, all of you. He thought silently to himself as he let his back drop to the ground, laying there as all the sirens were going off, people running around and screaming. Gently Terra took the boy into her arms and started to walk off, it was only moments later that Alexander had quickly fallen asleep. And of course, due to the panic, no one noticed the small boy that seemed to be floating in the air.
