Elements Of The Zodiac {O/A}

[X Sweet X Nevermore X]

Claira nodded wordlessly in agreement with Jayden. He had a good point. "We're not at our strongest out here. This thing better be worth it." She muttered, forcibly drilling the roots of her plants deeper and deeper to chip apart pieces of the rock where she could.

Tera flushed a bit, not used to all of the attention on her. "I'm Tera," she introduced herself to the girl, "I'm assuming you're Sonny? I've heard some things about you," she then turned her attention to everyone else, "Well, you know the pendants that boost power, depending on who they belong to, zodiac wise? Well...this is mine. We already have one." She gave a small smile.

Ian did a double-take. "Really? That's great!" biggrin

"Wow, how'd you find it?" Sonny asked.

"Ah right, we should talk in the car or something because Claira's still out there and she still has a little goon assisting her..." Rayne said, grabbing Isora by the waste and moving back to the car.
He rubbed his face against hers as they walked. "I hadn't realized throughout all this I haven't been giving you attention, my love. I need something to keep my mind off this while we travel" He sighed and gave her a peck on the cheek.

Ian nodded in agreement and went into the van, sitting next to Leyton. He nudged Leyton, waking him up.

Tera sat in the driver's seat, since Ian had taken hers. Once they were all in the car, she started it up, then started talking,
"Before I met up with you guys, I was searching by myself. I managed to run into only two--this one and another. But circumstances at that time kept me from collecting the other one." :/

((Sorry, this is unexpected. I would have replied sooner but my charger is basically busted and so my computer won't start. I just was able to get to the library now. So I might not reply too often. Sorry. sweatdrop ))
As Jayden shot another blast of darkness, he looked at the rock in satisfaction. "We're almost through."

Isora was staring at Tera's pendent in curiosity, not paying attention so when Rayne grabbed her, she jumped. "You scared me!" She exclaimed and then blushed when he rubbed and pecked her cheek. "Th-that's alright, we've all been focused on the Zodiac thing and stuff." She got in the backseat with him and after she got her seatbelt on, layed her head on his shoulder. "But I hope this will all be over soon..."  

[X Sweet X Nevermore X]

Claira smirked, connecting the roots of the plants together from within the rock. "Yes, we're about done." She started pushing the roots outward again, and more cracks could be heard. "One...two...three!" The vines and the like shot from the stone, breaking it up as it grew bigger and bigger. "Figure this is enough to get through?"

 

[Sasayaki_Rokkugisu]

Jayden examined the gap and then nodded. "Yes, this should be fine." He looked closer and then reached his hand into the hole, feeling around for a little bit. He felt something and right when he touched it, it started glowing. He pulled it out and examined it, suddenly noticing something black crawling on him. Looking at the spider, he smiled. "Emma would have loved you." He murmered.
((What should the relics be? One shape or all different vessels?))  

[Starbucks_Phantom]

OOC: I would think that they would be different shapes, all small enough to be put on a necklace chain.  

[The CheeseCrisp]

Sonny was sitting by the window and gazed out it. "We there yet?" She asked, she had a bad feeling that was only growing as they drove on.

Rayne shared this feeling, were they going to be too late?
He squeezed Isora's hand, in hopes of relieving the stress that was building up inside him.

 

[X Sweet X Nevermore X]

((Yeah, I'd assume they would all be different vessels.))

Letting Jayden investigate, Claira stepped forward after some time, getting closer. She saw a bit of the light inside the crevice. "That looks like a good sign. Is it yours?" She asked, looking at the unidentifiable shape in his hand. Whatever it was, it happened to like her companion to some untold degree.

Terra sped up, not wanting to say whether they were almost there or not. The feeling was getting stronger though.

Ian looked over to his brother, who still looked very sickly ever since Claira had poisoned him. If Ian didn't find the antidote, or force it out of Claira, he was afraid Leyton would always be like this...  

[Sasayaki_Rokkugisu]

Jayden finally found the item and fished it out. He held it in his hand. "I feel a powerful energy that calls out to me within it. I guess that means it's mine." He examined it. "And it looks like my style." The relic was connected to a black leather strap. He put it on his neck and it looked like a very interesting choker. It started to glow when it was on him, making his eyes glow for a second before they both stopped glowing. "Those good doers are going after another relic. We should follow them undetected and then swoop in and take the relic right under their noses, let them do the work of finding it. How's that sound to you?" He asked Claire.

Isora squeezed his hand as well, starting to feel better. She rubbed against him slightly and then looked at Ian and Leyton in worry. "Will he be alright?" She asked. "Where can we find a cure?"  

[X Sweet X Nevermore X]

Claira nodded in agreement, settling just slightly. Virgo was pleased that they had managed to get a hold of Sagittarius' relic so quickly. Now all they had to do was find the others, including her own. The fewer relics those goody two-shoes had, the easier it would be to fully take over. "Sounds like a good plan. Let them wear themselves out over the relic instead of us." She grinned, although it did not reach her eyes in the least. They were still as dark and as chilling as ever. "I'll keep an eye out for allies. We're still missing a few even with Scorpio's mild fit." She added in, looking back in the direction of the city. She would let Jayden lead the way for this one; those zodiac children would already be on edge if they saw anything remotely similar to her. It was a better idea to change things up a bit.

Drew walked around aimlessly through the quiet city, unnerved by how dead it was. He was positive that this was the spot that the unknown voice was telling him about, but all he could see was some car coming towards his direction. A couple of small beatles crawled along his shoulders, talking to him in a language that only he seemed to know. Why he knew it was also a mystery. "Yep, definitely the city. But no one's here..." With a sigh, he kept moving, keeping an eye out for anything that felt even remotely out of the ordinary, aside from the apparent burst of plants that had taken over a good part of the city.  

[Sasayaki_Rokkugisu]

"I'll send my shadows to search for someone and you send your plants a different direction. There has to be some more out there. Even if there is a good sign, we can convert them to fight with us. After all, the good ones got some of the evil signs working for them." He sent out some shadows to search. "And we need to keep an eye on the pests to make sure they don't get to the relic and take it before us."  

[The CheeseCrisp]

"Who's that?" Sonny asked, still staring out the window. There was a young man walking around nonchalantly in their deserted little city and it caught her eye quickly.

Rayne leaned over to see who it was Sonny was talking about. "Odd looking character.." He mused and then he sensed it. "I can feel why" He pointed out with a grin and tapped Terra's shoulder. "Terra, love, perhaps it'd be good to pull over and offer our fellow child a ride?" Rayne suggested, pointing to the young man with the covered eye.
