| "Drat!" Cursed Dandria as the beam missed it's intended targets. *Hmm the shadows from the trees should give me extra opportunity to trap them all at once* She thought as she called them from their resting place slowly. "Flaming Hell" Dandria whispered as the shadows went from one patch to the other closing in on the group trying to find Akana. As soon as the extended shadow moved, merging with the senshi, knight and angel's feet own shadows. Their feet where then held in place as flames surrounded them in a huge ball. Celes felt the wind change quickly and silently as it called to her. She stopped in her tracks as she turned and looked towards the sky. They weren't that far from the entrance but the walls surrounding the forest route gates kept any noise at bay. She then felt the energy she had felt before when flying towards Narya. *They�re here* Came the message from inside herself. "When's daddy coming home....?" asked Nevarra very quietly, she didn't look at her mother. The girl continued to stare out the window. She seemed suddenly seemed younger and more fragile than a second ago. "I don't know.." Juline said softly, not looking to her daughter. She didn't know what else to say to Nevarra, "We should go.." Lilia nodded, "I don't doubt that. But Juline not only searches for the senshi and knights, but a weapon. It's something unknown, in a sense, for no one has witnessed it.. and that is the Piros. At this time, we think it is the only thing that can destroy Akuma and Kiley." Akana smirked, revealing herself as her invisibility wore off, "Hello kids.. we meet again," she laughed lightly, seeing them all get stuck, "And this time, I think the odds are more in our favor." Lantis looked at his feet, then the flames, "Ladies, even with the Angion here, time to transform. I'll get rid of the fireball." With that said, he then got ready to transforn, "Aria Tidan Power, Transform!" Water fell over him, then disappeared, as he stood in his armor. "Ocean Wall," as he said this, himself and the rest of the group had a wall of water go over them, putting out the fire and making the wall of water die off as well. Gaia smiled to Loki, "Senshi and knights have more of a knowing for danger.. but, the enemy won't be getting here anytime soon. They're busy dealing with your allies outside of town." Waving what she said off, she saw a large fountain, people walking all around it. She looked about, trusting her senses to find the water senshi, Sailor Wasav. Nevarra didn't say anything to her mother but turned slowly from the window and walked over to the broken china doll that was laying on the floor, picking it up. The young girl shrugged, not really caring where she went. "Double drat!" Cursed Dandria's attack failed to hold them for more than a few seconds. She was still concealed in the trees but as her fire attacks wouldn't do much damage unless the water knight was out off the way. Silently moving from one tree to the other getting further behind the group, she could use simple fire blasts to distract them from the others. Firing the first at Phulan, hitting just below the shoulder. "Piros?" Repeated Kamui. "How do you know whether it exists?" He asked Lilia. "So it seems my instinct was right." He said to himself. "Celes." He called, "Celes, Gaia is very mysterious. Has she reveled anything that could say how she knows so much?" He asked. "I am sorry," He said with a laugh, "I am just curious. Forgive me." Celes looked from the sky. *The others can take care of themselves anyway.* she thought. Turning to Loki. "No she hasn't. I don't think any of us knows who she really is and why she's here." Celes replied. Juline smiled, going over to her daughter and kneeling down in front of her. She placed her hands gently on her shoulders, focusing on Nevarra's lowered face, "In fact, perhaps you can come with me instead and see what I'm doing. You'll get to be outside, may even find yourself a pet kitten along the way." Akana smiled at Dandria's attack. This was going great! The group they had to take care of were pathetic without the others, especially the bitchy red elf. Ooooh, too bad she wasn't around.. Lilia shrugged, "We don't know for sure, but there are stories about it and the power the Piros holds. Unfortunately, these are stories passed down, since there are no known survivors of any of the times the Piros was used," the elf explained. Gaia glanced back to Loki and Celes, overhearing their conversation. She kept quiet though, when they needed to know about her, she'd explain things. Until then, they could play their guessing games and ask their questions. Whether they'd get answers or not was a different matter entirely. "Isn't there any documentation about the Piros?" Kamui asked, deeply intrigued by this new discovery. He had plenty of other questions about it but calmed himself, the questions will present themselves when needed. "When will we meet this other senshi?" Loki calmly asked, not just Gaia but everyone. Iviana cursed, dodging and grabbing Kia as soon as the fire was out. She looked around hurriedly, then cursed again, closing her eyes. If she told Kia to run, they would attack the little girl. If not, she risked the chance of getting in the cross-fire. "Hide," was all Ivi could think to say. "Aria Terren Power, Make Up!" She yelled, transforming quickly. A flash of red caught her eye, and she turned, seeing Phulan getting hit with an attack. "Earthian Eruption!" She yelled, throwing the pieces of earth at the trees in the direction that the fire came from. Rinada fell back, blinking rapidly. *What... who are these people?* She thought, watching as two of them transformed, the man and the elf. "Oh geez.." Rinada whispered. "Shit!" Cursed Dandria as pieces of earth flew in her direction. She quickly dropped from the tree, some pieces hitting her. "I don't want a pet kitten," said Nevarra coldly, her voice lacking emotion again as she drifted back into her own world. The girl didn't even look at her mother. Juline sighed sadly, watching Nevarra as her eyes ignored her. Removing her hands from her daughter's shoulders, she stood up, "I'll be back later.. Just.. stay here for now.." She turned, exiting her daughter's room. Lilia nodded, "A simple scroll, that said it was a weapon that could bring a new beginning or a destructive end. It could just be a mythical item, but it would be nice if it did exist. Something to destroy all our problems.. but.." The elf sighed deeply. "It's our only hope. The senshi and knights could easily fight Kiley, but with his mother.. that is why we need the Piros." |
