Solaris Beauty Aeon looked at Moli and began to laugh at his reaction to the water. "Of course I can swim, I was on the swim team in highschool" she told him with a laugh. She then began to effortlessy swim towards Moli and laughed. "I've been training alot with my powers, you know my real powers. she said to him. She then closed her eyes as she began to duplicate as it were now eight copies of Aeon. The extended their hands as cherri blossom peddles rained from them. Aeon had just used projection. She looked at Moli to see what his response would be.

Cecilia glanced at Roulin with a bewildered expression. She was rather surprised that he didn't know who Erin was. "Um...she's one of the twins. You know, with hair that's pretty much the same color as my eyes? Anyways, I forget if you were here during the time, but she was the one who drew out the blueprints after she had read my mind in order to obtain the information she would need for them." The young Azure Owl shrugged. "You'll most likely get to see her later give the fact that you're coming with our group," she added before she placed the blueprints back into her purse and zipped it up so that they wouldn't accidentally fall out. Cecilia then closed her eyes, enjoying the feeling of Roulin's hand caressing the silver tangled tresses atop her head. When his hand fell to her cheek in a soft touch, she opened her eyes and looked up at him. "Yeah, a little bit of relaxing sounds good right about now," she said shifting her body to make herself more comfortable as she moved a little closer to Roulin. She then remembered that she had promised to tell Roulin about the second worst thing that had ever happened to her. She looked down at the covers for a few moments, allowing her right forefinger to trace the thread pattern in it before she looked up at him once again. "Remember when I told you that there were two bad things that happened in my life? Well, you already know one of them, but um...would you like to hear the other one as well?" she asked. Just thinking about it brought her discomfort, but she had never spoken to anyone about it before, and perhaps doing so would lift some of her burden.

Johan frowned when he saw that Nik hadn't been blown over by the shock wave. He studied Nikolai from where he was standing for a moment or two before noticing that the wily Russian's shadow was basically clinging to the male's legs. This could be a potential problem: a shadow manipulator. Johan did not let on that Nik's ability was one of his weaknesses. Instead, he called back an answer. "I suggest you step aside, Russian boy, before you get killed. I don't have a grudge against you, so I have no desire to hurt you. But do you know of the peril you're in, standing next to that woman?"
Anya winced as she forced herself to her feet. She heard Nikolai calling out to someone else and she looked up to see one of the UNS men from the meeting room. Her eyes narrowed a little as she frowned. Was he the guy that was attacking them now of all times? The Poison Owl was jolted from her thoughts when Nikolai called out to ask if she was okay. "Yeah, I'm fine! Just peachy after getting thrown around like plastic bag in the wind over here!" she replied slightly sarcastically as she prepared herself to fight against this UNS man. "Sure why not? If he wants to fight, we'll give him one."
Johan's face remained impassive even at the jeers of Anya and her friend. He simply closed his eyes and readied himself. "I'll give you one last chance, Shadow wielder. Stand aside."

((UNS---Daryle))
Daryle narrowed his eyes lightly before allowing a smirk to break through on his lips. “I simply love using my imagination…though, as fun as it sounds to use it in that way…I would much rather use my hands to make things exciting and more realistic, as suppose to imagining a change to the game…” Letting out a long sigh Daryle tilted his head to the left and studied Will with a blank expression. “New toys? Don’t you have enough already?” He chuckled and shook his head “Of course, you can never have too many, right? And I know how quickly you grow bored of things, its only natural for you to want more. Heh, you are a greedy man.” The Breezy Owl pushed his chair outwards but remained sitting. “Then again, you are the Satan Owl…Its to be expected.” The blonde male ruffled his hair with his left hand and yawned. He was not tired merely feeling a bit lazy for once. “I will probably leave tomorrow morning. Early, maybe 5am. You can reach me through my phone...should I be needed for something.”

Mahareshi Rorsch "Eh, it may be a material object, but I'm sure there were people in it..." Che replied with disappointment. The war was getting closer and closer to them and the airport across the bay was just a disheartening reminder of it. Che, being the weak-hearted owl he was, didn't truly want to assist in this war, but now he was in it until it's end. Thankfully, he had Will and Thomas to do most of his fighting. The bite of pain he felt for those lost in that explosion wained gradually and allowed him to turn away from it. It was then that through squinted eyes, he noticed a faint path of smoke that curved from the runway towards where they stood.
There it was. A 747 commericial airplane whose four engines and fuselage were engulfed in flames. Che's eyes widened at the sight as it drew near bringing with it the loud screeching cry of metal forcing itself past more metal. The turbines were hanging only by rivets now. One was lost when it skimmed the mountain. [******** terrorists..." The jet engine bounced along the mountaintop towards the two unlucky owls. Che, lamenting more work, sidestepped his way in front of Kate and placed up a razor sharp, V-shaped shield of paper. The jet engine was sliced into leaving the outside of the sheild lacerated and slightly charred. The plane couldn't be stopped, but at least the engine part could. Sighing heavily as the paper fell, Che looked back to Kate and asked, "Did you see that? I blocked that! Oh, and are you alright? Couldn't have you dying you know?"
But when she continued to hear noises around her, Kate opened her eyes again. Apparently, she had indeed survived. Kate heard Che exclaiming over the fact that he had managed to block the engine from hitting them. The Eternity Owl looked up at him for a moment or two. "Yes. I am fine." she replied, managing to get over the fact that she probably wouldn't have had enough time to mutter her spell to save both herself and Che in time. "I am grateful that you finally managed to do something at least a little bit useful, Presidiomini." Even though she was saying this in a sarcastic tone, Kate didn't necessarily mean what she said. She truly was grateful that Che had saved her. "Anyway, we have a bigger issue at hand now." Kate said as she turned to face the direction that the rest of the plane was headed: the UNS building.

Aeon looked at Moli and smiled. When he mentioned her abilities as being psychic she frowned. "I don't think they're psychic, besides Amara is the star sibling out of the both of us..I wouldn't dare try and take that away from her" she said to him. When he continued to talk, she heard an explosion. "Yes I heard it but what the hell is it? she asked him in a concerned tone. Were they under attack and would in the hell could cause an explosion that loud? "What do you think is going on?" she asked.

Nikolai looked at Johan with a questioning expression for a moment before saying, "Well, she may yell at me, and call me an idiot, but I don't feel like I'm in peril around her. And I think I should know, I've been following her for a while." Nik grinned lightly when Johan offered him one last chance to back down and Nik replied simply, "Now why would I back down when my woman is in distress? What kind of a gentleman would I be if I didn't defend her?" Nik stood his ground, waiting for Johan to make the first move; he didn't know enough about Johan or his fighting ability to make the first move. He heard a loud noise like a plane flying overhead, but he didn't dare take his eyes off of Johan, since he wasn't about to be taken by surprise because of a plane. "Anya, do you know this guy? He certainly seems to have a grudge against you."

((UNS - Will))
William DeScythe glanced at the father of his godchild and smirked. Daryle knew what Will truly meant. The Satan Owl did not just simply imagine things. He manipulated events to his whim. Daryle was a piece of the game, and Will allowed the Breezy Owl to have his own fun as well. "Indeed." He inclined his head slightly in a nod as he felt a flare of hate coming from a certain direction directed to someone. He shrugged it off. There was no need to respond to it.
The blonde could pick up the screeching sounds of something tearing toward the building. A plane from the sounds of it. Having lived for so long paired with his heightened sense of hearing, the musician could pick out the source of the sound. Shortly, there was a thundering sound as the building began to shake. Will merely smirked and patted Cerberus to Daryle's comment on Will's so called greed. "It is not greed when I already own their souls. The world is my playground." He stood up from his chair. "Well, Saxton, seems the plane came early," he remarked sarcastically as an amused smile formed on his lips. "Feel free to leave now." He said with a wave of his hand. Will was perfectly calm as always. He was treating the situation as if everything was normal and nothing strange had happened.
"Hmm...where's God when those who think she can help want her help?" he mused sadistically as he ignored the shouts and random reactions around the area. The devil sighed as he ruffled his hair slightly before walking in the direction toward Noel. "Oooohhh, Goooooddd! Where are you sitting and moping? In your little kiddy corner?" He called out as he strolled along, ignoring any chaos or wreckage on the way. And then, there she was, Noel Anderson the God Owl. "Mmm....Noel? How are you on this fine evening? Answering the prayers of those on the planes?"

Anya glared at the UNS officer across from them. She had no idea who he was and why he would be attacking them. However, she became distracted when she heard Nik's cocky response to the older man. Her head turned quickly to glare slightly at Nik, feeling her face get warm from the slight blush that appeared on her face. She hoped Nik wouldn't notice though as he was preoccupied with Johan. "H-Hey! I'm not your 'woman', and I am perfectly capable of defending myself against this p**** on my own!" she shouted at Nikolai, basically standing there with her fists at her sides which made her look like a child throwing a tantrum over not getting any candy. Thankfully, Nik's next question was enough of a distraction that she returned to somewhat of her normal composure. "No! I have no idea who the hell that guy is or why he's attacking us!" she replied, returning her gaze back towards Johan as the crashing plane went over their heads. "What the hell was that!?" she cried out looking up at the sky and then noticing the plane crashing, her eyes going wide.
The ever so slight hint of a frown crossed Johan's features when he received Nik's defiant reply. So this Russian boy claimed to have some kind of emotional attachment to Anya? That just wouldn't do. "You think you know and understand Anya better than her own flesh and blood does?" he called back. But before much more could be said or done, the sounds of the crashing airplane caught Johan's attention and he looked up at the sky. His eyes widened when he saw the plane and where it was headed. He looked back down at Nikolai, figuring that Che, Thomas, Will, Noel, and Lucien could all handle the plane on their own. Drawing his own two swords, Johan sent out a shock wave towards Nikolai. But this was only a distraction to get the Russian to move so Johan in turn could get closer to Anya. At the same time, Johan rushed straight for Nikolai, ready to both attack with one sword and block the scythe Nik held with the other.

"Yep, I'm going to be confusing those two for a good while. Thanks for putting those away. When I'm in a hotel suite, the only thing on my mind is rest." Roulin, in the time that Cecilia took to put away the sign of his outside life, had sprawled his body out across the bed. In his peripheral view, he could see that his hair was still large and in the mirror, it looked like a dark halo. Holding back a laugh at how weird it was, he look over to the blue girl that sat by his side. She seemed to be in a more serious mood than before. Turning on his side, he knew it was storytime. "I remember. And yeah, since we're here, I'd like to hear it. It'll make our bond even stronger. Heh heh," said the young italian as he lowered his hand onto Cecilia's.
~~~
"Yeah. We do...I'm almost certain of where that plane is heading." Che retracted the paper into his clothes and cracked his joints as the stationary hardened. He now had his arsenal ready for whatever may be coming now. Before running off towards the UNS building, he took Kate's hand and apologized in advance for his speed. "I know you don't like it...but...you may have to deal with it for now....sorry." In a flash, Che was cruising through the city, brisking past stands and over cars. He could sense Roulin and Cecilia inside of the building, but Thomas was nowhere to be found. What in the hell was about to happen here?
~~~
"I don't know...but I have a bad feeling about this." Moli's body began to glisten and shine as if he were exploding once again. Another crafty trick that L taught him was how to move from place to place as a light beam. His body appeared on the side of the pool. He waved to Aeon before taking off to the building. "Get out of the pool! Quick! We need to get to the front...that noise is getting louder..."

Cecilia bit her lip and stared down at her hand, which was covered by Roulin's. She took a deep breath, somehow managing to find the mental strength to begin her story. "Well, I should probably start at the beginning before it happened. You see, when I was very young, I was often picked on at school, mostly by the older students, Junior High and High School students if you will. I always came home everyday covered in bruises and scrapes. Well, I remember one evening I was coming home from picking up something for my grandmother. I decided to take a short cut and ended up running into two teenage boys from school. They were both about fifteen years old. I tried to turn to walk the other way because I didn't want to deal with them. But the both cornered me, leaving me no way to escape. Before I knew it, they both had me upon the ground. One was holding me down, while the other was trying to remove my clothes in attempts to molest me. The memories of being tormented for so long just flooded through me. The rage I felt was overwhelming. Before I knew it, what had been lying dormant inside of me for so long was unleashed. It destroyed both of the boys, but it also destroyed half of the city as well, destroying not only my attackers, but a lot of innocent lives as well. My grandparents survived for their home was not in that vicinity. But I knew I couldn't return home. I had no choice, but to run. I left that night with nothing, but the clothes on my back." Cecilia drew her knees up to her chest and closed her eyes struggling to calm her emotions. "Part of me wishes that I could go back and change things and prevent anyone from being destroyed on that night, but another part of me is happy that the two boys were killed. Does this make me a monster?" she asked looked towards Roulin?

Nikolai continued watching Johan even while the plane flew overhead, and replied to him simply, "Well considering she doesn't even know you, yes I'd say I know her better than you. Wait, don't tell me you're gonna pull the 'I am your father' card here. Too cliché." Nik readied himself for Johan's attack when he pulled out his two swords. He held himself upright with his shadows against the shock wave again, and released his legs when Johan approached. He twirled his scythe slightly and swung it at Johan with one hand, and reaching for his pistol with the other. His scythe locked against the swords and he only managed to bring his pistol up to Johan's knees before his arm was blocked by. He pulled the trigger twice, aiming for Johan's leg. Nik wasn't that lucky, he missed the first shot and managed to his Johan in the side of his leg, but it was just a graze, nothing debilitating. Nik pushed back against Johan and hopped backwards, so he could get out of the deadlock. He pulled his scythe back and brought his pistol up and said, "It's two against one, you really think you can win old man? If Anya's as dangerous as you say then you're in deep deep trouble." Nik smiled and waited for Johan to make the next move, with those two swords, he was faster than Nik was with his scythe, but Nik could dodge the blades easily; he did, after all, have training in that area.

Luca smiled and nodded, he wanted to go on a date with her, he wanted to be beside of her but it was hard to break the mercenary build to show that kind of affection. "Yeah let's go, I'm sure we can have fun." He was about to reach out to grab her hand when the usual stroke of luck whisked past his attention in the form of a screaming woman. His attention immediately shot up as he looked towards her shrill voice. He could see she was shouting and pointing as were some of the other people. He looked towards their shaking fingers as something caught his eye. A plane crashing towards the UNS building. "What the Hell?!" He shouted as he stared at the plane for a moment. The plane was large, far to massive for him to control with his electromagnetism, unfortunately their positioning wasn't the most fantastic. The two of them having only just exitted the building was a stroke of misfortune to add to the list that trailed behind each of them. He gripped Bailey tightly as he embraced her, crouching down to the ground covering her a surge of electrical force shot from his body tearing metal plating from the buildings around them which flew slamming into a dome shape around them to protect them from the inevitable strike.

Kate blinked and let out a light gasp of surprise when Che grabbed hold of her hand and took off running back towards the UNS building. She grimaced as Che apologized for basically dragging her along. "You could at least try to carry me instead of dragging me around." she replied. She too could also sense those inside the UNS building and their exact locations due to her spirit-radar of sorts. "Your son is still inside the hotel... Both are, in fact." Kate said aloud to Che even though he probably already knew that.
====
AFter she had left the alley where she had killed that stray cat, Erin had wandered around the city without really knowing where she was going. However, that sick feeling at the pit of her stomach was slowly vanishing. It was either because she had finally vomited, or drank blood for once, or a combination of both. Erin wasn't really able to tell. All she knew was at this point was that she felt a little bit better. Her mind finally returned to the world around her when she thought she felt tremors from the ground beneath her feet. "What...?" she murmured to herself, looking down at her feet. Then came the sounds of a low flying plane and Erin turned her gaze up to the sky where she saw the burning 747 falling towards the UNS building. "Oh no! There are people in there!" she cried out before taking off running through the streets towards the UNS building. At the same time, she was preparing to use her psychic abilities in order to see if she could stop the plane from falling. She wasn't sure if it would work, but it was worth a shot in the dark, right?
====
Just as he expected, the Russian held himself up with his shadows against the shock wave and swung his scythe to block the sword swipes. Johan scowled slightly when he noticed Nikolai hastily reaching for a concealed weapon. He managed to barely move his leg in time to avoid a shot aimed at his left kneecap. He felt the graze of the second bullet, but didn't show that it hurt him at all. In fact, it really didn't hurt very much anyway. Johan dropped low and gave a sweeping kick at Nikolai's legs, trying to knock him off balance. "Did she tell you what she did to Berlin when she was a mere child? If so, then you should understand how dangerous she can really be."
At first, Anya didn't really know what to do as Johan came running at Nik. Though, her first instinct was to draw two throwing needles and hold them in preparation to be thrown at their attacker. She heard Nik's comment about the 'I am your father' schtik and gave a momentary pause to let that sink in. Was this guy fighting them her father or something? He didn't look at all familiar given that she had never met her father in her entire life. But what did it matter now? Even if he was her father, Anya knew she had to protect herself and Nikolai from getting killed. When Berlin was mentioned though, Anya froze for a moment. This guy knew what had happened at Berlin when she lost control!? Not many people knew about it as it was classified information. So how did this guy know about it? He was obviously a high ranking officer from the clothing he wore, so maybe he would be priveledged enough to know what she did. "Is that why you're attacking us? Because of Berlin? How do you know about it? And why!? I don't know you! The only other survivor from that incident is dead!" she asked aloud, not really expecting an answer.
While Nikolai would be preoccupied with what he had just done to attack him, Johan gave a shock wave out from his feet to propel him up into the air high enough that he could do a flip over Nik if the Russian chose to jump over the sweeping kick. As soon as his feet landed, Johan darted straight for Anya. He knocked the throwing knives out of her hand as she raised them to defend herself. He then brought one sword down to point at her face. "You should be able to tell how I know that. Besides, even though I am your father, I still feel it is necessary to kill you before you lose control again and kill even more people."

"No time...I'll make it up to you later!" Che yelled back to Kate when he finally approached the building. He could see that a lightning user had attempted to stop the burning jet, but to no avail. Che could've tried the same thing, but if they couldn't, then it was unlikely that he could've. At this point, telekinesis would've simply changed the path of the airliner. After sitting Kate down, Che looked up, his eyes as wide as plates and yelled at the names of his two son. "Roulin! Lomoli! Get out of there now!" The sounds of the plane ripping through the concrete, glass and steel was more than enough to keep his voice blocked out from anyone but Kate. The scene was firery, smokey and devastating all at once. Instantly, Che's first thought was the event that took place only a few years ago. Because of this, he was more than certain that Owls would be the target of most, if not, all of the world's hate now. The freedom fighters of South America didn't have a clue of what this meant, but Che knew that it only spelled bad news for everyone like him. It was now up to the Herald and the Owl of Life to get themselves to safety...
~~~
Roulin's eyes trailed away from Cecilia's eyes down to her hand as she spoke. Once again, he turned over onto his back. Her hand remained enclosed in his to show that no matter what her past was like, he'd still be connected to her in some way or another. Like Che's friend Kate, Roulin could see that this girl had a few demons in her past. After kissing her hand to gather her attention again, he went on to say, "It doesn't make you a monster at all Cecilila." His dark hair covered his eyes, but not his assuring smile. "It just shows that you have the will to live is all. It's very much like this war. We fight because we know what we're fighting for is right. We will need to hone your other powers though...the gravity ones alright? Now, since we're both here...alone...how about---"
Roulin paused and lay frozen in position. His loving and tender gaze had now become one of terror and fright as the noise that he could hear began to scream louder and louder. There were voices...hundreds of them screaming aloud as if they were being tortured. Then, the lights of the building flickered. Behind that event was the sound of metal bars, blades and rock twisting and cracking under immense pressure. Roulin looked up at Cecilia once again and open his mouth to speak. Before he could get a word out though, the roof of the room collapsed dropping burning debris, glass, cloth and bodies into the room. Leaping from the bed, the owl of life took Cecilia into his arms and teleported out of the building...
