Welcome to Gaia! ::

Before I put up the nice lil story I must explain something-
I say this is a fanfic because I did this about a comic for Ato.
Just for the record, I am not friends with Ato anymore, nor Liz, they have gone too far with Wynter and Grahf then suddenly target me.
This shows I am intollerant of not only people who are jerks to me but also those who are jerks to others.

NOW this may have slight violence but is perfectly suitable for pg13.
Slight lovey dovey in one Part... Oh yeah DO NOT POST IN HERE!

The house was empty... and quiet until the noise of the door opening sound filled the room..
A sudden shuffled sound as the door opened then went to the sound of moans and groans as the others ran in and got comfortable in the cosy place.
Ato went straight into her room and looked at the poster of her mother. Angry, she felt heat burn up in her, which she released in her hands to tear it down and rip it to pieces with her teeth. How she hated her now more then she did.. She let out a scream which only around the room would of heard, she was in anger then in pain. As she got up and jumped on the bed she let out a happy sigh and smirked with a feeling of relief. "Ato?" A voice muttered as a creak in the door opened, Ato looked seeing a face trying to pop in, it was Ota's. Ato smiled and beckoned him in. Ota smiled and entered then noticed the torn poster on the ground.. "I would hate to mess with you like that poster thing did.." He muttered to himself "stop messing about and come here.. " Ato impatiently added.. he came and hesitated the next move, she then muttered "lay on the bed.."
He grew a grin and jumped next to her then layed down. "Ota... I must say... I missed you alot when I went to save my friends..." Ato said sweetly... "Friends?" Ota muttered curiously then turned his face to hers.. "Yes.. I gotten to know their good sides.. I just... wished their bad sides disapeared." Ato uttered quietly "I think we all do" Ota added. They both laughed.. "well.... Ato... I think maybe you should go find a guy who understands you more... I think nobody here does... even I dont.." Ota muttered sadly. Ato looked at him then... her eyes were watery then she muttered "what do you mean?..." "Look Ato... you have to find someone who loves you... didnt you have a boyfriend?" Ota added. "I lost him.... he was captured by three shadow people... I assume he is probably dead now.." Ato said.. her voice trailing on the word dead.. "Have hope Ato.." Ota said sweetly. "Hope?! I had hope my mum would come back to get me when I was six! I had hope I would be safe as I grew.. I dont know this word hope in perspective!" Ato protested. "You dont need to! You just have to have it ATO!" Ota complained back leaving Ato huffing, looking the opposite way.
Ato felt slightly guilty, she got up and left the room.
Liz was alone in the kitchen cooking up food, Kevin was chatting to Saint while Della and Ryon were playing cards, Ato looked carefully at them then muttered "Um Saint, Della and Pyro, do you wish to come on another adventure in two days?" Pyro was in the bathroom but rushed out saying "yea!" Della and Saint looked at her in amazement but nodded slightly but with hesitation.
Ryon looked at them then shouted "you girls are crazy!!" Ato glared at him and he sunk back down muttering "but I like crazy... ya hey." After a while the girls were already packing in their backpacks hoping that they come in handy. Saint was looking at a picture muttering to herself, Ato ignored this though, she could be doing anything. Ato was waiting out in the garden, she summoned her shadow sword then places a few brooms out. She placed one against the wall and threw the other into the air. Up it flew high, Ato's eyes shone then she swung around choping it in half, then kicking the other in front before slicing right through it. Spliters bounced off the wooden broom. The two pieces remaining in the air were grabbed as Ato dug her sword into the ground then she crushed them into pieces. "You're mine... Alice Mar Metes'... You're mine for sure." Ato picked up the sword and unsummoned it, the strain hit her and she felt like she was watched. Ato didnt see the person nor know who it would be.. so decided it was unimportant. The eyes of that person twitched, lips parted slightly for the person to breathe.. it was a female.. two bunny ears... Della.. Della watched Ato fighting... and for a reason... she was warning her under her breathe... "No Ato... till death do speak... you will be Alices... for thou shalt be dead... thou shalt practice none... Alice only has one weakness...." Della closed her eyes and muttered "not now though... but I know how to kill Alice.. I swear Ato.. you will have your revenge another way.." Della then got up and went into the house.
The days were quickish and it was the day before they leave, 2:00pm night. Ato looked at the boys who all huddled in front of the fire "Boys... and some girls.. I must say something.. I dont want you looking after the house, Ota must. You might destroy the bloody place so skat tonight!"
They were all blank and in shock but didnt disagree. Liz was upset but Ato muttered "you can stay though!" Liz smiled and hugged Ato then sat by the others again.
Ato was quieter as the day went by, at night, Ato, Pyro, Della and Saint were ready, the others had left already. As Ato was leaving with the other 3 Ota ran up and clenched her hand "Ato..." He muttered. Ato turned to see a whimpering face full of tears. "What?" She asked firmly making him answer "...good luck..." He let go, letting her leave with the others who made their way down the shadow path... it was cold dark Ota know inside.. Ato will do it.

The next day......

Ato was leading the 3 through the path, knowing the entrance of the shadow realm that she hasnt entered.. She remembered the thought well.

Flashback....

"CG... oh your body is so strong.. not as strong as me though.. obviously." Ato teased CG as he laid back in the grass muttering back "your such a tease.." They both kiss pasionately watching the distant houses.. they had walked through the very path stopping by a tree to rest.. they were going to go to the Dark temple to ask for permission to train together, which was just a little further then the shadow realm.. The grass was damp beneath them. Ato laid her head on his shoulder then quietly closed her eyes. Each second in her thoughts lasted nearly forever... but Ato enjoyed the flashback..
CG was then strokeing her hair, making her more tired... until...
Bam! They were knocked sideways onto the ground. Ato looked up seeing 2 females and a male all pure black, the only light the eyes... The outline of them blended with the background.. so they looked apart of it. CG was stunned, he backed away slowly but the the male kicked his face down which was like a blur. The females grasped his arm and pulled him up. Automatically Ato got up summoning her sword for she was pissed off. She swung at their heads making sure CG's wasnt touched but it went through them... How though? The shadows looked at her, the male went in front of her and slapped her across the face. She fell down hard, hard due to the fact she couldnt... wasnt... able to get CG... Ato watched CG get pulled away but she wasnt leaving him without a fight. She ran after them, they didnt seem to run, they were sliding across the ground plus were lighter heeled then her. Soon they were in front of two statues then stopped. The male was waving his arms about, Ato recognised the movements, she was almost at reach but they entered with CG... Ato slid to the empty ground.. The gossip about the shadow realm.. the words about the dangers.. she never went there.. She called it the shadow realm for she knew nothing of the real name.. Nothing...

"Ato, you okay?" Pyro asked as she placed her hand on Ato's shoulder making Ato flinch. "Yes... Yes I'm okay.... Just....thinking of something." "Remember, if anything happens we are with you.." Pyro said sweetly, Della and Saint turned to look at Ato, but not with the 'I'm with you stare' more of the 'yeah right stare'. Ato rolled her eyes making them look away again. They had to camp out halfway talking about little things like Ryon, Alex even though Pyro didnt share much information about it and CG. Ato was in the middle of describing CG making details more spenderous then what it actually was. "Oh he was a good person, his eyes shone the colours of the rainbow, his teeth sparkled brightly. Oh he looked like a fierce warrior. " Ato muttered still imagineing him. The others giggled at the thought of this god like man. The night was short as they slept, in the morning they were moaning about how they didnt want to get up but Ato was persistant. So they went on...
As the walk continued Della was watching Ato closely, Saint yet again had a picture in her hand and Pyro was whistling a tune stuck in her head. Ato was walking quietly, too full of thoughts... admireing the view which she recognises every second.. Suddenly they came past the very tree Ato was at...
Ato stopped... Pyro, Della and Saint almost went on ahead but noticed. "Ato?..." Saint asked looking away from the picture then slipping it into her pocket then turning fully around.. "Ato whats wrong?!" Ato was muttering quietly to herself then walked to the tree... The images hit her... CG was there with her, them two kissing... Each image made a tear.... Ato fell to her knees... she could feel her eyes sting painfully, tears soaked up by the cloth.. muscles tensing painfully in the stomach.. Saint walked over to her then politely put her hand on Ato's head the stroked back motherly. "Ato... he was a fine man wasnt he..." She muttered "....Yes he was" Ato struggled a croak. The images slipped away as she got up, Saint smiled at her but Ato couldnt give the slightest smirk.. The other two was stunned at this... they never saw Ato like this... Ato who was always the one who made them cry, the one who seemed to be only full of anger, the one who kept things to herself.. Ato the one who hides weakness just went to a tree to fall down and cry. It made them cringe horribley. The thought that love can do so much bad to you, but was good for them at the same time. Making you become what you hated so much, they didnt like it, so just looked away from her.
The time passed and midnight was peeking in and Ato looked firmly at the other three then warned them "remember, these shadow things might have a go at you if your not careful.. I dont want to rescue a bunch of my friends, I can only handle one as you can see..." They all nodded then made their way towards the two statues which were in the distance.. "Ato?" Pyro cried "I'm scared.."
"I too, Pyro... I too..." Ato replied sadly. The journey was dreaded, every step sent images into their brains, the two statues slowly becoming bigger and bigger.. Ato knew if anything happened to them... it was her fault.. She knew it would be anyway. The eyes were focused on her... She knew it would be.. She didnt care though... because she was planning this for so long... nothing will stop her now.
The statues were soon in front of them... Ato looked up at the statues... moments of resistance.. moments of fear.... but soon enough she shook it off and waved her arms about. She remembered the movement exactly so it was only a matter of seconds a portal shot up in front of them. The other three jumped. Ato turned back at them, then muttered "ready?" They all nodded and she entered with them following.
The static around them moved as they passed through the portal, like a purple atmosphere becomeing reality. Ato was used to it, so was Della... but Saint and Pyro were quickly amazed at it, so they kept fidgetting about their bodies muttering "wow." Ato turned yet again to them shouting "stop with the stupidity! Alright?!" They were instantly quiet, sensing the tension with her and the place.
The place had purple walls with dark blue ceiling. The ground was blood red, Ato slowly licked her lips as she thought about it. There were statues in a few places of angels and devils wearing royal clothing. The place was quiet, Ato was expecting Shadow people everywhere, every now and then she spots a few dark corners here and there. Ato kept moving, the others attempting to follow, when she hit something in front of her. She looked down then saw a person appear.. like a human.
The person looked up at her, pale looking skin, eyes grey at first but turning blue. This was a male, burnette soft hair short. He squinted his eyes, got up then walked away, Ato was shocked, she called out for him "shadow person! Shadow person!" He turned, with a firm voice "I am a shade, not a shadow..." before disapearing.. Ato stopped seeing the vanished boy. She closed her eyes turning to shocked faces "lets be aware.. there might be more of him around.." As Ato said that, silence aproached the group again. They knew their place with her and kept it that way for she was a true leader. Suddenly Ato noticed that the place was getting darker. She noticed that the corridor was ending and still no door were found. "Hmm... I guess this is partly pointless." Ato muttered disapointed then turned with the others about to go back but then noticed humans on the ground appeared out of nowhere, all around. Ato looked at them then at the walls... Doors became visible and windows... The people all looked at her, grey eyes slowly turning back to what their original colour was. Some got up restless others still stared at her on the ground. "Who the hell are you?" One shouted nastily at her, Ato shocked by the rudeness shouted back "My bloody names Ato and one of you creeps have stolen my boyfriends for no Friggin reason!!" They all looked at one another confused then one female shouted to her "no your just friggin paranoid. Now get lost or we will attack!!" Ato laughed at this threat but Pyro, Saint and Della knew their match with the numbers, they didnt even know the things powers. Slowly the ones sitting got up, they all at the same time lifted their arms at the same time, eyes going grey, a cold shudder went through Ato and the others.
Ato summoned her shadow sword and they all seperated their hands at the same time....
Ato ran, her sword partly loose on her left. The shades stayed in a position so she got close then lifted their hands high into the air. Suddenly spirits of the dead shot in front of them and as Ato swung at them it hit hard onto the souls instead. Ato hit at the thing with her fist but it didnt work. She back then gestured to the others to move to a safe place. Suddenly Ato noticed half of the people were moving their hands about, while the others were still, was this team work?!
Ato backed away as she noticed them stopping, a few souls shot out at her, one looked like a headless girl and the other an old man. They were torpedoing at Ato when she swung her sword to make them disapear. Then again the very shades move again about, then let more souls shot out, that meant more than 2 souls. They went at Ato and she had to keep jumping out of the way dodgeing the thud the soul made before disapearing into the ground. Ato shouted out "what are you people?" The shield slowly faded and their eyes turned normal "we are shades... Shades that control ghosts by trust.. you mistaken shadows with the name shades for they were dark shades... Shadows is a better word used often. You havent entered the shadow Realm... you entered the shade Realm.." "YOU WHAT?! Where is the Shadow Realm?!!" Ato Demanded looking for an answer.
"Why you are in the shades Realm. A shadow is a dark Shade.. why your in it woman, in fact, all you have to do is go through that door and then go straight forward then your there" the female explained pointing at the door before the shades disapeared. The other three came out of their hiding places then rushed behind Ato. "You know this will be even more dangerous Ato.." Saint explained "well dur.." Ato muttered sarcastically making Saint cringe. Della noticed the cringeing and looked at Saint odd. She had to remind Saints position exactly. Saint knew her position though, so was a bit annoyed at the odd look. As Ato entered the place, it was complete darkness, except of purpley blue flames flickering on the side walls... Ato heard noises, from one room, like torture. She hoped it was CG, the black metal door, the touch of the handle, cold apon her hand. Twisting it, she opened it to reveal, a male of brown hair, blue eyes, pale blue skin, struggling for breathe.. Ato's eyes widened, she turned to the others who were on their toes to see. They didnt get a good look but realised that the person was in fact, dead already but was a spirit. He looked at Ato then tears formed from his eyes. "H-help me please... I cant take this ghost life any more.." he croaked... suddenly Ato noticed a dark matter devouring him, suddenly his face was devouring, remaining only his cry "noooo!"
Ato watched at the dark matter vanished him.. they took shape of bodies.. They suddenly turned their faces, one had bright shining eyes, the other were calm looking eyes. Ato didnt understand why they were different in their eyes. They stared at Ato for a while, like they recognised her, they did... They moved towards her, Ato summoned her shadow sword then swung at them, they backed away, the darkness blurring around them. They swipe at Ato while the sword was weighing down on the side, cutting her right cheek, but Ato swung at the shadow who had their side cut. Suddenly the dark matter formed a small wound making blood leak a dark red. The tip of the sword had a bit of blood which Ato licked slowly before putting it at her side again. The other shadow's eyes turned to angry ones then turned black... VANISHED! Ato backed slightly then noticed flames forming beneath her. She jumped back bumping into the others behind her. Pyro got out her gun then aimed at the flames, her arm leaning on Ato's shoulder, then started to shoot.
The bullet just hit a space, nothing else. "Pyro, weapons dont always work you know.." Ato muttered "dont you have powers?" "They dont call me Pyro for nothing." Pyro said with a small smirk. She looked at the purple and blue flames then looked at her hand, clicking her fingers a flame formed on the tip of her nails. She then slowly blew at it which lit the room showing two shadows by the flickering flames that almost hurt Ato. Pyro then let the light fade then pointed it where the shadows were then blew, but since the shadows wernt stupid they change positions, so Pyro moved her hand as she blew, fire moving about the place as the shadows moved. Saint was a bit annoyed then her eyes glew a bright red and she decided enough was enough of these shadows then lifted her hand. Electricity formed an orb in the center of the palm. "Back away... " She muttered and they did so, even Ato. Then Saint shot the ground and tidal wave of power hit the shadows at both sides, killing them instantly. They all looked at Saint shocked and Saint was frowning... "carry on Ato.. we need to find CG." Ato nodded then kept leading the way holding her cheek wound then looking at it thinking a bit. The hallway seemed forever. She couldnt hear any sound either so Ato closed her eyes then called out "CG?! IT'S ME ATO! PLEASE IF YOUR THERE CALL BACK... Please..." Ato was almost in tears, leaving it till now seemed like she abandoned CG, like her mother abandoned her. For a while she heard no one so called again "CG?! PLEASE!" She then heard a voice call out the name "Ato?" She turned to a door then called out "CG?!" The voice answered back "yes, it's me! CG, Ato?" Ato went to opened the door but it was locked. "CG, It's Locked, Damnit!" She said angry, banging away at the door. Pyro stepped in front of Ato muttering "let me try" before clicking her fingers, revealing a flame, then blowing it at the lock which heated up then broke. Ato then pushed Pyro out the way and kicked the door open. She looked around and walked in. Suddenly she turned to see CG chained to a wall, a few other chains with Skeletons in them. "CG? How did you survive? They didnt?" Saint asked. "I had a trick by pretending to be weak so they thought I was going to die, so they didnt whip me like the other ones. They ignored me so I waited for them dead and chewed on the one near me, so I didnt exactly starve. I was going to give up but.. you came" CG answered, then Pyro nodded doing the flame trick and blew on the chains almost freeing him, but the cuffs around his wrists remained. Ato took his wrists looking at the cuffs, she summoned her sword then muttered "keep it there a minute I am freeing you." Before slicing between the hands so the cuffs wernt connected. She then used the tip of the sword to unlock one cuff, then gave a break for CG to rub the swollen wrist. She did the other one and unsummoned her sword. CG smiled with his wrist in his hand then Ato smiled. They embraced eachother, tears in both their eyes for they have not seen eachother in ages. Love was in them but CG remembered it wasnt over yet.
CG got up then helped Ato up then gestured them all to follow. He knew a short cut but had to make sure no shadow saw them. He ran out the cell with the others holding Ato's hand passionately. Ato and the other three noticed the Window then shadows beneath it, the window was wide open and the shadows were looking at them, eyes shining. CG takes out a red sword, the one he didnt use for ages since he wasnt able to summon it, but now, since he has free hands, he could use it finally.
The red sword was a fire one.. CG had the Shadows first main weakness.. fire. CG kept the others back then charged at the shadows, one ducked the sword but CG choped the one next to it, jumped on the ducking shadow, then sliced the other one before spinning samasaulting backwards then landing in front of the last ghost to kill which he sliced his sword of the middle of, before slicing up. Flames devoured the three dark shadows, but now more were coming, a gong was heard...
"The alarm, they are bringing out different races now, I should know I heard it a few times, come on get through the window!" CG shouted, so immediatly with that they ran in front of the window then climbed up the wall cracks. As they made it outside, they landing on the fresh grass.. They were out of the portal.
They all looked back to just see an empty field.. "I think the portal exit was the window.." Ato muttered then asking CG "wait you were chained up, how did you know?" "Oh, you see, I was half consious, so I saw it as I was passing.." CG replied then smirked. He unsummoned the sword then hugged Ato again, the other three cheering. "Lets go home now" Pyro added and they all headed down the path making it home again....

-Part two done.-
