Welcome to Gaia! ::

*Dashaco sends a burst of energy down and over the ground to disspell any inllusions. Rikkei dissapers and Srping Fur is standing there looking about and he looks confused.* "Spring Fur where is Rikkei?" *Dashaco yells trying to keep his consentration on the ground.*

Kasumi looks around confused. She had blinked and they had disappeared. Then she caught a figure out the corner of her eye. She snapped her head around to look at him. He was cloaked in shadows, she couldn't see his face and she was upwind and out of reach of his scent. But he had an evil aura

*He looks at Rikkei then at Kasumi* some thing is strang about Rikkei."Kasumi pick up Spring fur" *dashaco drops all most all of the ground but the ground under Kasumi, Rikkei, and Spring fur.*

Rikkei #2: "Well now Lady Kasumi: in all honesty... I am Rikkei" *A wicked grin appears on his face* "You know of the timelines, do you not?" *A dark mass begins to seep up from the ground behind Rikkei #2: eyes form at the top of it as the mas begins to shape a body* "Have you met my friend Astrogadden?"

~Alternate Timeline~
Rikkei: "Spring Fur I am not the Rikkei you are after..."

Spring Fur #2: "SHUT UP!!!" *Release his fitted arrow to go into Rikkei's leg. Rikkei suddenly falls on one knee the pain beyond all reckoning...* "Thanks to a once friend of yours we discovered something far worst than any slayer's edge: he called it 'Vorpal'. Too bad he's gone to disenchant that sword of yours, you foul..."

Rikkei: "I... I don't... understand; Spring..." *Just touching the arrow shaft seens another wave of unbearable pain through his body* "My sword has nothing!"

Spring Fur #2: "We'll see about that!" *Grabs Rikkei's sword and throws it out from the scabbard. Eyeing it carefully, for something unknown, he looks back over to him* "Why isn't your sword glowing? What happened to the markings...?"

*the earth forms up around him and it also forms into a fist.* "where is my friend?"

*He glars at Rikkei2 and then realizes what he is talking about his eyes shoot open.* "KASUMI Get OUT OF HERE!" *He throws the imposter Rikkei and then holds him in the air with no air.* "how long can you survie with out air."

Spring Fur: *Holds on for dear life* "Just make sure that you don't try to drop me unless you really must..."

Rikkei #2: *Gives a grin* "I can survive quite long actually... Especially sense you have the wrong person..." *The bodychanges to that of Astrogaddon, as the other reveals to be Rikkei #2. Astrogadden's hand extends striking and taking hold of Dashaco. As his body get closer mor of Dashaco is engulfed by the dark mass, gripping tightly* "My friend here is dark matter itself: he needs not to breathe to live..."

~Alternate Timeline~

*Rikkei's wound is bandaged as he and the alternate Spring Fur sit in that same area...*

Spring Fur #2: "Please forgive me... other Rikkei..." *Confused and unsure of the situation he shakes his head...* "This is all so unusual: the Rikkei I am after, brought you here, for me to kill you..." *Rikkei nods* "Then that would probably mean he is from what ever timeline you came from. But why would he do that?"

Rikkei: "I don't know..." *Thinks to himself, repositioning his leg; still in pain from the Vorpal arrow that had been in his leg* "There can be many reasons as to why... But we may never know exactly until we speak to him."

Spring Fur #2: "But he is in your timeline... How can we expect to get to him; Rikkei?"

Rikkei: "There are two ways exactly from what my father taught me: One, which is the most unpredictable; there is a point in which all the timelines all have one major event all at the same time... If that event were to occur, there is a spell that could allow us to see all of them at one time. However, we can influence them all being that we will be ghosts to them but when we, "Possess" the body we need, we will be able to separate from it and confront him..."

Spring Fur #2: "Whoa... I think my head is hurting from all that info..."

Rikkei: "The other requires us to find another "willing" Dark Draconi to send us there..."

Spring Fur #2: "Well your in luck: this whole timeline, as it were, is flooded with them, even ruled by them. I am suprised that I am still alive at that tortured..."

*As soon as the orb even touched the being, it produced an ear shattering shreek: bolting away as where it touched began to disipate*

Rikkei #2: *Looks up at Kasumi in utter shook* "So... You are alive in this line..." *Grits his teeth turning away* "I must not waste my time... My mission for the Great One has yet to be complete..." *Turns around and walks through a whirling dark vortex*
