Welcome to Gaia! ::

Imelia: "Try your best, Dashaco; or am I speaking to your alter ego, Donsukai?"

Imelia: "So much time has passed sense I last fought you, and thanks to the training that I had from Katsuie; I don't need anyone to help me any more!" *The green orbs meld to her body under the whips then bursts setting her free; the orbs reformed* "Now try handling this..." *She launches an orb out to Donsukai shooting right through after sailing so far it stops and both orbs start shoot energy back and forth to each other. After so long, she calls back the orb* "Why don't you just stay locked inside your host's cage where Katsuie locked you up before?"

~The two Dark Draconi had fallen to the Scion in his left paw was an inhumanly longsword while on his left arm was a decorated Shield/Armguard~

???: "I guess I better head over and see if Imelia needs help"

????: twisted "Not so fast, Zell..." *One of the Dark Draconi get up, popping his neck* "Who said we were done?"

Zell: stare smile "I did, Nimbar!" *Swung his sword emitting an energy wave sending Nimbar flying backward*

Zell: "STAND DOWN!!!" *Tackles Donsukai to the ground. Getting to his feet, he readies himself for the next attack as Imelia lands on the floor in pain* "Katsuie should have killed you when he had the chance, Donsukai!"

Nimbar: *Shows up in front of Kasumi's path and took hold of her* "What's the rush little girl? We don't want to hurt you; we just need you for something important."

Rikkei: *Running with his spear set, he charged through the wood, sometimes barely dodging the trees and ferns until his shoulder smacked into a tree dislocating his shoulder* "Ah... s**t! s**t!" *Getting to his feet he ran full speed at another tree, quickly turned and relocated his shoulder; nearly yelling with pain in the after math*

???: "All alone with no one to aid..." *Rikkei looked around the dead forest looking for the speaker* "Poor little thing!" *The speaker appeared right in his face. Rikkei jumps back as the grey-skinned, red eyed man pulled two blades as they both spilt into four for each hand* "Ah such youth squandered on doing what is right: don't you grow weary, young Rikkei?" *Rikkei went to grab for his spear and his small sword but neither were where they were* "Aw... Looking for these? *The spear and sword hovered in front of him* "I guess you can have them BACK!!!" *The weapons sail his way: grabbing both weapons, he flew back with them until he ran into a tree and they formed a dark rope that held him to the tree* "Notice the ground before you, Rikkei?" *Looking down on the ground, there was a large unusual symbol with multiple relics place within it* "You now stand on the entrance to Nova. And how ironic that you are also a piece of the gate key to Nova. Once your friend and Donsukai return, we will begin to open the gate! What do you think about that?"

Rikkei: *Struggling to get free* "What is so important about Kasumi? Who is Nova, anyway?"

???: "You will soon see...

Nimbar: *Grunts as Kasumi broke free* "You..." *Shifts into his Dragon form ready to pounce* "If it weren't for you being the Key to Nova I would kill you for that, you pathetic child!"

~Still bound to the tree, Rikkei watches is the other Dark Dragon paces left to right growing impatient~

???: "Hmm, what is taking them so long? Lord Donsukai and Nimbar should have been here buy now!"

Rikkei: *Ponders for a bit, then begins to mess with his mind* "You know; I think that they turned on you..."

???: "What lies come from your mouth, you son of a Half Breed!

Rikkei: "Think about it: they have the Key, right? What if they are waiting for you to go find them to all of a sudden show up and open the door without you?"

???: "They would not be able to, for I, Sesero, know the only way to open the gate!"

Rikkei: "However, if Donsukai is as powerful as you say, would he not already know another?" *Sesero begins to think to himself* Just where I want him "I would think so: A powerful Draconi like himself would probably not even want anything for you and the others with him. He is only using you to get what he desires most."

Sesero: *Come to realize the truth in his words* "You may be right... That greedy fool! How did I not see that? *Thinks to himself again. Rikkei focuses a small beam of Pure Light at the bonds slowly breaking them* "I know... I'll take the female for myself: I already have the first piece. All I need is her and..."

Rikkei: PROTAGIMA SANAGAKU!!" *Rushed toward him, his fist enfused with Pure Light energy, swing with full force as much as he could. Finally he thrust-punched Sesero, unleashing a giant energy beam sending him out some distance* "I have to... find Kasumi. And fast!" *Begins to back track, hoping to find kasumi and soon*

*He disapers from infront of the gold dragon after senceing that Sesero had the frist part of the key. he makes multiplus of him self and each one runs in a diffrent direction.* "catch me if you can oh and do remember the shadows are my place." *He grabbes rikkei and pins him to a tree in the gate and then replaces the two trees. He then gose over to Sesero and looks at him.* "SESERO, HOW DARE YOU LET THIS YOUTH TRICK YOU NOW WATCH HIM! I'll go and retreiv the rest of the key my self." *He seeps into the shadows and moves over to Nimbar. He then comes out of the shadows and looks at Nimbar.* "Whats taking you so long Nimbar?"

"Bothe of you catch her." *He looks off into the distance then back at them.* "I'll go and deal with the gold one that is coming but you better hurry lest my anger is loossed and trust my once that happens you two can garenty that you will join the key. you better get a move on." *He takes off then intersepts the gold one.*"well I honestly can tell you that I didn't exspect you to figer out my plan so quikly so shall we play as Dashaco dies." *He makes a small wight orb in his hand and then inserts it into his chest knowing that it would soon be enshrouded by darkness leaving the body all to him.* " you know that not even you could survie that long in my darkness exspshaly in a weakenned state. I'd say he has .........oh 15 minuets. hehehehehe." *He smiles then multiplys him self and covers the area in darkness. after witch he hides in it. He then begins to whip and cut the gold dragon knowing that it wonet do to much but it will slow him down.*

Kasumi flew higher and higher, until the air began to thin and she was struggling to breathe. She looked back down and sighed in relief when she saw no dark shapes below her.
Starshine: Don't be a fool. They are still comming. She buzzed.
"what can I do, Bright One?" She asked sadly, "They are Dark dragons, farm more bigger and more powerful then myself. I cannot keep going higher or I'll pass out. If I fight, I will surely lose..... but my friends..."
Starshine: ...are risking their lives for you! she finished impatiently. You have more power then you think! You are yet to be taught how to use it. You must keep flying. Stay as high as you can and fly west. The sun will start to set soon. The sun is a Bright One you know. She chattered. She flys across the sky and banishes darkness but creates shadows. Stay in her light, bask in her heat and she will keep you safe. *settles on the top of her head and starts to sleep*
Kasumi pondered what she had said as she trned into the glare of the sun. She had to look down as the sun hurt her eyes. She hoped it would have the same effect when her persuers looked for her.
