Welcome to Gaia! ::

"I love you too princess." Joa Boo said pulling her close to him so that they could lose each other in the sight before them. It didn't take long before they where both gone in a dream and together slept while the stars ran across the sky. It would be morning soon.

"Ha! taught by my brother. The only thing he's ever done for me was take away my memories." Helena glared at Jade. Her voice filled with venom and spite. "I despise him. I'd love to see him killed. He killed my friend and can't make her whole, he took my memories, he took me from my love and mentor and he killed me!" She ran up to him and grabbed him by the shirt, staring into the distorted and pale face intensely, without fear. "To consider JoaBoo my brother would kill me once more. If your mission includes his demise," she let go of his collar, "then count me in."

Spotting the creature in the dark unnerved Zedo, so he slowed his pace to a careful walk, keeping his light trained infront and swinging it around slowly around him. How long has something like that been following me? he wondered. One careful step after another, Zedo continued his creep into the darkness of the caves; slowly getting closer to the gunfire. Maybe if these things didn't want to attack him they would leave him alone. Zedo was willing to guess there were numerous amounts of them, and somehow trying to fight them in the dark with Bahamut's meager light seemed like suicide. But if push came to shove, Zedo would not fall without a fight.

Sounds of the battle creshendoed, and Zedo darted swiftly behind a stalagtite on the floor. He immedatly picked out Souge's blonde head. The men were locked in a heated battle and Zedo was wasting no time joining in to aid.

Darkstar (the giant shuriken on his back) flew through the air and struck the thing square in the head. As Zedo jumped into the scene with Bahamut (revolver) blazing it dislodged itself and returned to its master.

"Got your back!"

Sogue looked at Zedo with a look of surprise. He was mounted, in light black armor on a black stallion, throwing Javelins at a giant Sinspawn. A group of men were all pushing the fortified thing back as another Sinspawn supported their fight.

"Where in the hell have you been?" he screamed at Zedo, then he chuckled to himself, shook his head, and his expression softened. "Why the heck do I care, anyway. I'm just glad to have some help, to be honest."

Sogue turned to the battle as Zedo dashed forward, unleashing a hail of gunfire. Sogue pulled back a bit, scrutinizing the situation. "Don't attack that one," Sogue nodded at the good Sinspawn, "Our Beast Masters tamed it. We're trying to tame this one too. We don't have re-inforcements, so i'm trying to bolster our forces with fauna of this cave."

Sogue turned to Zedo, and that familiar feeling pulsed through him once again, like he knew him long ago. "What do you say we drop this thing?" he smiled, his fangs glittering off the lamplight of the cave. He slowly dismounted his horse, Albrecht, and tapped it on the side. It pulled back into the lines. Sogue drew his blades slowly, blue eyes closed as he listened for the sound of steel leaving scabbard. He opened his eyes as he let a breath out, then nodded at the mystery man.

"Right behind you."

"If we would count you in, then the only thing we could use you for is to ask that you leave. Hmmm....unless. What if I told you that we where undercover for Drew and he has asked us very kindly to train up these goblins and use them as apart of the Omega Alliance. Would you kindly then give us greater command so that we can train them." Jade tightened up and just his pure muscle form was enough to shake Helena off.

"Raz, get the girl out papers and let her see for herself that we are under Drew's first son Specter, organized to secretly take these goblins as recruits for our forces." Jade said turning to Raz and speaking clearly and slowly. His face shacked and a great smile came over him. "you know the papers, there back in our tent."

((to Sogue and Zedo))

The sinspawn was stubborn and wouldn't budge, with the amount of fire against it there was no way it would come out. The shell protecting it was the greatest of many defenses and was practically breaking the weapons of the men attacking it rather then being hurt itself. Then out of fear and anger it burrowed through the ground as the rock collapsed from beneath it and hid again in the dark cave walls. ((it's life = 70%))

It was calm for the moment and with the wild sinspawn gone the tamed one came to life. It moved quickly and hovered like a walking umbrella over top of your men with it's legs extended as high as they go to clear everyone.

Your forces laid about to catch their breath. They where tiered and ready to build a base camp. The beast masters have fortified up to this point and could very well claim it to be a base camp if that is what you would like, but time is of the essence and their is much more to this cave.

There was also an unexplainable presence about the cave. As if the walls themselves looked to be moving. The earth was on motion and you could hear it breath.

"To bad I can read your mind." Joa Boo said with a laugh as he dressed for an outside strool. He wore his black cloak that had the hood tied back in a dark purple ribbon and his fancy pants armor with the dark hand emblem spread across the cape. His arm held out for his princess as he readyed to leave the castle. Joa Boo arranged for an airship to take them to a gorgious forest for the two of them to walk through.

There it waited for them, the massive air ship on the surface. as they got in it would take them to the Serine plains, where the forest where rich with beautiful wildlife unlike the exotic Baji. Joa Boo found their seats and motioned for the conductor to take them away. The ride was just a few hours, but in no time they reached Serine and the large parks for this kind of occation.

"Here we are my love. Just like we used to when we where younger. I love you." Joa Boo said and helped her off of the air ship.

"You make us sound old. I still feel as if I were a teenager," Lenomie laughed. She looked around at her surroundings, everything was so green and beautiful. Slipping her arm under Joa Boo's she pulled him foward. "Let's go let's go!"
