Terrak Nor (O/A)

[Hikari_Mamo]

Leigha ran hard through the halls of The Sanctuary with a smile on her face. Another family had handed over their three Magi children. Air, Metal, and Lightning. She was excited to meet these two boys and one girl. 'Jake! Jake! Jake! JAKE!!!!!!' She cried as she pounded her feet harder on the wet floor. They always kept it wet for the water Magi. Always. 'New kids! New kids!' She called. Their precious Sanctuary was on the boarder of the Emperors kingdom so he had no say over it. Which meant as long as the Magi got there alive they were free.
Jake groaned lifting his head from a desk he was sitting at and trudged toward the door slowly getting energy. The tiles were made of a special clay. Another thing to help the earth Magi. No one in the facility wore shoes. It was considered taboo and a sign that you had lost touch with your powers. 'Welcome to the Sanctuary!' Jake and Leigha said in unison to the three Magi children. Their eyes were yellow, silver and very light purple. Jake and Leigha had never seen the last one before. But the others they knew quite well. 'I must say you are a rarity here little girl.' Leigha said. 'We have a lot of air and metal Magi here but none of your element. What is it dear one?' When she girl refused to speak her older brother piped up with. 'When she screams lightning flashes in the sky.' Leigha smiled.
'that's perfect. Come let us show you around.' The older brother picked up his sister in his arms and carried her as they were shown around the facility

Kirari walked along the road, keeping her face hidden by a hood. She didn't want anyone seeing her eyes. Her katana hung at her side in it's sheathe, one hand resting on the handle. She wanted to find the Rebel Alliance, but she wasn't sure who she could trust. She had seen people with blue and green eyes, but she wasn't sure if they were normal people or if they had powers. But other than that, she hadn't seen anyone with really unusual eye colors. It was upsetting. How could she find the RA if she couldn't find someone who was in it?

Michael hid himself in the shadows of some trees as he observed the family dropping off their kids to the 'asylum'. He wasn't sure about this place. It was outside the emperor's control, but it was right on the edge, perhaps a ploy of the emperor's? Either way, he didn't like how many Magi had been taken to this place and how none of his spies had seen any Magi coming out. It seemed like it may have been another of the emperor's experimental facilities. Michael had rescued a few Magi from those places. A few of them were still in the RA's base, being treated for psychological damage. "Tonight, we'll find out what's really going on in there." he murmured, using the shadows to warp back to base. He'd take some of his most trusted warriors, those who still survived from when they first founded the RA. And a few of those who had joined shortly afterwards. If it was anything like the emperor's experimental facility, he'd get the Magi out and kill whoever was in charge.

Leigha paused for a moment and so did Jake. They locked eyes for a moment then shook their heads. A sign that they'd talk later. 'And here is where you'll be.' Leigha purred opening a door to a lush room with three beds. the room looked like it came from a high end a million star hotel. The floor was dry and there was a lot of metal in the room. The windows were open to let the breeze in but since no one had come across a lightning Magi before Leigha and Jake didn't know how to accommodate her needs. Once the three were settled in Leigha and Jake went to there room. Leigha's bed was a small pool. Being a water Magi it was easy to breathe under water.
Jakes was a long patch of grass with at least two feet of packed dirt under it. 'You felt it too right?' Leigha said making whirlpools in her bed of water.
'Yes I did. A powerful and well trained magi...I couldn't tell what he wanted. But we have to assume he's of the Air branch...The tree didn't know what was happening, couldn't figure out what the man wanted. We have to be careful. High alert. Let the other highly skilled Magi here help protect our freedom.' Leigha nodded. 'Agreed. We prepare for this person. Find our Light Magi just in case too.' Jake nodded and stood on the clay tiles. 'She's asleep. Cute little nocturnal Magi she is will be awake in two hours.' Leigha nodded
'Then we'd better start our battle plan.'

Michael was preparing for the infiltration of the asylum with his advisors. "I can warp us all in there. I can't warp all the Magi out though, if they need it. We'll need Air Magi to help transport them out of there." he said, looking at each of his advisiors, though his blindfold covered his injured eyes. He was very in tune with his powers, having practiced with them ever since he could remember. Shadows helped him know exactly where everything and everyone was. Not to mention, his other senses had increased magnificently. His sense of hearing and smell and touch were magnified greatly. But he relied mainly on his powers to help him 'see'.

"Likely we will need close quarter's combat. I suggest swords, guns, and anything else we can muster." Said an Earth Magi. The strategist of the group.

"Agreed. We'll ask our Fire and Metal Magi to help the effort." Michael said. They continued to speak before the meeting was dismissed after they decided exactly who would be going. And Michael went off to prepare for battle.  

[Hikari_Mamo]

Jake headed out on his own, letting his sister get some rest for the up coming battle. Right away he headed to where Hikari was. He smiled. Naming her 'Light' was perfect since she was the embodiment of light. 'Hikari.' Jake said smiling brightly at the girl when he spotted her playing with the light of the globes in the theatre room. 'We need your help.'
'I know.' Hikari replied. Damn she wasn't lucid! 'I felt his presence. He wants to liberate us from our home. I will not let him.' She danced around on stage like she was high on a drug or something. Her movements were graceful fluid. It was the reason Jake was in love with her. 'I'll take him out for you. And don't worry. They won't be bale to hurt us. If they work for the Emperor we will find out.'
'Thank you Hikari. I'll go alert the other high class Magi. They will wish to help.'
'The lightning will help. Her screams will cause something terrifying.' She paused and he could tell for a moment she was completely lucid. 'It will be beautiful!' She added evilly and went back to her dancing. Jake nodded and headed toward the cafeteria. 'Guys.' He called over the buzz of noise. the room went silent. 'We must prepare for a potential threat trying to invade us! They will have guns. Mirror, prepare the armour! Friction!' The girl with yellow eyes turned toward him. 'We need still air. Work with buzz to make sure there is electricity in it. We have a lightning Magi now. She'll need all the help we can give her. For freedom!' He cried fist in the air.
'FOR FREEDOM!!' The others replied and hurried around starting on their various jobs.

Michael warped the invasion and rescue squad into the asylum at 2:38am. It was nighttime, and the moon had set, he was at his strongest. "If you come across any Magi and they fight back, they are not to be killed, but you can take prisoners." he whispered out the order before pulling out his sword. He stood upright. "There's something strange about this place." he murmured before shouting, "Water shield east now!" He had sensed a fireball coming from that direction. "Fire Magi! Go!" he said, running off towards where the head of power should be if he knew the layout of the place correctly. The Water Magi headed east to deal with the Fire Magi, the Fire Magi paired with the Air Magi to help people escape. The Fire Magi would be able to protect as the Air Magi liberated.

Michael could sense their movements and he followed them carefully as he made his way through the corridors, avoiding any attacks and countering to disarm, not aiming to maim or kill.  

[Hikari_Mamo]

Suddenly the air grew still and electricity hummed in the air. Then a loud ear splitting scream and lightning started striking. Taking out but not killing the invaders. 'HIKARI~!!!' the name was screamed and a blinding light enveloped a two mile radius outside the facility. Then Leigha emerged. 'Welcome intruders to the Magi Sanctuary. Are you here for a visit or to die in the name of your cursed Emperor? Brighter Hikari they have one of the darkness!' Leigha cried. Then she flung out her arms and the sound of a Tsunami came and hit the invasion team and now with the lightning and the electricity in the air those caught in Leighs trap would be shocked into the darkness of their own sleep. 'I will protect this haven from the hell your Emperor brings us!'  

[chibi_blue_mouse]

Michael sensed as each and every single member of his team was struck down by lightning. And even he was hit, but he was made of sterner stuff and pushed himself up, wrapping his own shadow around him as a form of protection. And then came the light. All of a sudden his 'sight' was gone. "Magi Sanctuary? I assumed this was a Facility." he said, and then came the tsunami and it was only his shadow that kept him standing And under the shadows of the waves, for even water casts shadows, slight as they may be, he was able to enhance his own power and a bubble of darkness spread from him, warring with the light. But within his darkness he could sense those inside it, and in the chaos, he reached out and grabbed someone, holding his sword to their throat. "Cease and we shall talk." he said, allowing his darkness bubble to shrink so that he could be easily seen.

((It could be Jake that he caught. Possiblly I don't know.))  

[Hikari_Mamo]

Leigha stared at him. 'Fine.' She hissed. Then the water was gone. She pulled herself away avoiding his sword. 'Come. Your men are fine they will get up in an hour. When Hikari casts her light normal people are blinded for a very long time. You will come and we will talk inside. I refuse to be away from my friends.' Behind her there were screams from the children at the facility screaming that she finish him off. But she turned an with him next to her escorted him inside. 'Thunder.' Leigha said giving the lightning child a name. 'Keep an eye on the others. When they wake make sure they are taken to the infirmary and given food and water.' There was a small reply and the child disappeared inside.  

[chibi_blue_mouse]

Michael chuckled. "Yes, well, I was blinded a long time ago." he said, letting go of his hostage and sheathing his sword. He followed Leigha inside, still on guard, but less suspicious of this place than he was before. He frowned at the name giving. Naming because of their powers not because of who they were, but Michael said nothing against it. But that didn't mean he wouldn't be bringing it up later. Surely these children's parents had named them? Still, his brothers and sisters in arms were going to get treatment. He wouldn't complain about that.  

[Hikari_Mamo]

Leigha's feet hit the water gracefully there was still splashing involved but not as much as when she normally walked. 'You wear shoes...' Leigha commented with slight disgust. 'Doesn't that hinder your abilities?' She seemed both angry that they would dare adopt the Emperor's fashion but curious as well. 'We don't need shoes in our sanctuary. It's better to be in touch with our element when our feet are bare. For instance, My twin who's and earth magi, his power is increased ten fold when he isn't wearing any shoes. The same with me. That is why there is water on the floor. Not because we are unable to clean our floors well, but because it helps us water magi access our powers faster.'  

[chibi_blue_mouse]

Michael 'looked' straight at Leigha. "My element is everywhere. I don't need to be bare to feel it. And the last thing I need is a case of hypothermia due to my bare feet. And any layer of protection is better than no protection at all." he said. In fact, it felt as though his power had increased after he had been blinded because, though his powers helped him 'see' he now truly lived in a world of darkness. He had gone barefoot before, but he'd never felt more or less powerful by it. He knew some of his Earth Magi didn't wear shoes, or if they did it was a special fabric shoe that increased their abilities. The Metal Magi wore steel-toed boots when they went into battle. But Michael wore whatever shoes he had. Sometimes they were even mixed up. But they worked. And he didn't feel hindered at all because of it.  

[Hikari_Mamo]

Leigha sighed. 'Mhm. Yes, yes. We do have a few that wear shoes but that is only because their power is of things above the ground. Like Windy. She our most powerful Air Magi. Pretty little thing she is too.' Leigha purred. 'Mirror please tell me you've cleaned up your room. Breeze nearly had a kitten when she came back from study.' Leigha said distracted for a moment.
'Sorry, sorry. Yes I'm almost done lee don't worry I'll be done by the time bree gets back.'
'Good, good. Oh I made sure Jake saved you some cheesecake I know how much you love that stuff.'
'Really? Oh that's wonderful!' Mirror cried and headed into her room muttering how she would clean it then get the cheesecake as a reward.  

[chibi_blue_mouse]

Michael listened to the conversation and didn't comment in the slightest. "Are we almost to where we can speak?" he asked, starting to feel a bit of impatience creep up on him.  

[Hikari_Mamo]

Leigha laughed soft and enchanting like a gentle wave. 'You need to work on your patience sir.' she said continuing until she got to a door and opened it. 'Come.' She said waiting for him to come through. 'Bella darling. Make sure no one comes by here will you? And don't listen in. I know you have powers over sound but that doesn't mean you can act like a bat whenever you want.' The tall curvy woman nodded with a sighed and wondered away. 'Now. what did you want to talk about.' Leigha asked closing the door behind him when he entered.
