Gaian War 3
The Night was warm, yet cool from yesterdays rain.
Sayn made his way through the trees and closer to the village.
Sophie had warned him from going.. But of course, he had to see it for himself. The Unekeh cult had been growing larger for each day and had now even begun to show themself on the streets of Shilo.

With amazing stealth as he had put it, he moved past trees and bushes untill he could spy the village that lied down the slope.
It was quiet, and not many people walked the streets. From the look of it, it seemed just like normal. Crawling a few feets closer, he felt a surprising pain in his head as his vision turned dark.


____________________________________________________________________

His moans echoed through the room has he moved over her. His body glistened in the moonlight as he began to grunt and shudder.

The room reeked of pure animalistic lust, as the woman below him did nothing to stop his domination over her, nor did she do anything to encourage him. She laid there, accepting his lustic needs to be released in her.

The man made one last grunt as his body tensed and spasm'd before collapsing ontop of the soul below him.

"Kai..." a voice called out as the tired Kai rolled off from his latest conquest and gazed at the window where his brother sat.

"I think you should deal with this yourself..." His brother Rufil said, eyeing the woman next to Kai with a gloomy look.

"Is that so?" Kai said in between his heavy breathing.

"Well, let's have a look then" he said, crawling out of his mothers well used bed. Like a monkey he made his way to the window, crawling over several bodies that lied mutilated on the floor.
He stopped as he passed next to his brother, a wide grin on his face.

"You want her.. Don't you?" Kai asked in a mocking tone before leaping out on the street below. His laughter echoed up in his brother Rufil's ear.

"Did he hurt you?" Rufil asked the woman who was now sitting up, giving him a feint smile.

"No... He was quite gentle this time..." She replied to him as she reached for her dress on the bedside.

"Why do you let him do this to you?" He asked her with a sad voice.

"I love him.. And he needs it.." she said, putting on the blue dress.
"If it relieves him from even the slightest of pain that he feels, then I will gladly give myself to him.. And besides.. It's only my body." she continued while slowly approaching Rufil.

"Does it hurt you so much to see me with him?" she asked him.
"I..." he did not have the time to answer, before she wrapped her arms around him.

"Are you also in pain, my dear brother?"
"It's wrong Milena.." He said, reaching his arms around her.
_____________________________________________________________________


Sayn slowly woke up when he felt the rain on his, his vision was slightly blurry and could barely make out the face infront of him.

"I know you..." Kai said as crawled closer to Sayn's face.
"We met.. 7 years ago.. Your the father of that freak.. " he continued.

"W-who are you?" Sayn asked as he tried to move but was restrained by ropes tied around his limbs and body.
Slowly his vision got clearer and he could see the face of the man before him.

"Oh right.. We never had the chance to get to know eachother.." Kai replied mockingly.

"Though I am sure you are more acquainted with my mother.. "

"M-miria.." sayn exclaimed, his eyes growing larger.

"you're.. Kai?" he asked.

"Yes!" Kai giggled as he launched over Sayn embracing him with a hug.

"Say.. Since you and my mother were soo good friends.. Could it be, that.. You are my daddy?" Kai asked, his eyes looking like a sad child.

"what? No!" sayn said, trying to shake Kai off. In a fit of giggles and mad laughter, Kai rolled off on to his back kicking his legs in the air.

"Oh man, that was priceless." he then said as he got back up, mud running across his body.

"Why did you come here?" Kai asked, as he went over to Sayns spear that was resting next to a nearby tree. He ran his fingers along it, before grabbing it by the pole.

"You know.. I don't really care.." he said turning around towards sayn.

"And don't give me those eyes.." he contined as he made his way back to Sayn, the spear dragging acros the muddy ground.

"I know what you think of me.. I know your kind.." Kai said, his tone becoming more and more aggravated.

"It was YOUR kind that threw us out of the paradise.. You believe yourself to be of a higher specie than us?" he spat out.

"You're all pathetic, and you will all burn for an eternity once he arrives..."

"You're mad.." Sayn whispered out as his eyes caught the attention of two more angels walking up to them.. An armor clad man, and a woman.. No she was bearly a small girl..

Following his eyes, Kai saw as Rufil and Milena Approached them.
With a growl and clenched teeth, he returned his eye to Sayn. His grip on the spear became tighter.

"YOU CAN'T HAVE HER!!" He shout out as he raised the spear above his head and slammed it down through Sayn's chest.

The incredible pain that shot through Sayn's body, faded off as he began to shake. Again he could feel his eyes growing heavy and his vision becoming Dark.

"I hate you..." Kai's voice whispered through the darkness.

[.:™:.]

The rebuilt city of Falador was silent in the night, eerie silence except for the drunken shouts of a few soldiers down by the local pub, suddenly, on the roof of the pub, a crash as a figure landed on it, breathing heavily, Lea looked behind him, they were still following him. Imperial Guards....

"Stop!" they screamed but Lea turned and ran, leaping off of the pub and onto the building next to it, he kept running but the guards were fast and they wern't easy to lose.

He had been wanted for a long time, he was a prominent member of "The Resistance" a guild of people targeted by Selena and Torran as "undesirables", they resisted the tyrants regime and now, they had the biggest member of the group on the run.

Lea continued to run but it was futile, especially when he came up to a large dead end on a roof of a block of flats. The guards capitalised and quickly had him surrounded.

"Dammit..." Lea said "looks like you got me"

"Stand aside!" a harsh, female voice barked as the guards made way, it was Selena, the queen of the empire.

"Nice to see you, your majesty" Lea said sarcastically.

"SILENCE!" she barked "your time is up scum..."

"So what's gonna happen? You gonna have your ten guards swarm on me? Not exactly ballsy" he said smirking, if he could just get her mad enough to take him on one on one, he might be able to get out of this...

"Are you insinuating that I am afraid to face a good for nothing like you? You, who taints the name of the great human race" she spat, staring daggers at him.

"Pretty much" said Lea as he summoned Lost Memory with a flash of light in his right hand.

Selena raised her head and barked an evil laugh full of malice.

"Torran wanted you alive, but since you're so eager to die, then I'll help you with that..." she said as she drew her sword.

Selena gave a war cry and charged, Lea held his ground and their wepons met, Selena pushed back and Lea found himself being pushed up against a wall, he lifted his foot and pushed off of the wall, this caused a change in momentum so sudden that Selena was knocked onto her backside and Lea flipped in the air and landed behind her, the guards made movement but Selena screeched "LEAVE HIM HE IS MINE!" and they hastily stood back.

Spitting like a savage cat, she got up and attacked, both her and Lea seemed to be fairly even, parrying each other's blows with such speed it was like they had already rehersed this fight. Eventually, Selena managed to gash Lea on his leg with the tip of her blade, he staggered backwards but manged to remain on his feet as Selena chuckled.

"You just experienced your first wound scum" she crackled.

"Is that all you have you whore?!" Lea shouted "Come on, I've battled dummies in training rooms tougher then you!"

"DON'T YOU INSULT ME SCUM!" she roared as she attacked once more.

Lea-"It's working, she's getting angry, she's making mistakes"

Selena was like a bulldozer, but Lea was too quick, in her fury she was losing concentration and Lea was stopping everything she threw at him.

Lea-"Time to end this!"

Lea chaneled light into Lost Memory, it started to glow, then he lept back, away from Selena.

"COME BACK HERE YOU BRAT!" she roared.

"Oh, shut up you hag!" Lea shouted back and threw Lost Memory, the weapon shined like a star and spun like a boomerang, heading right for Selena, the initial light had caused her to throw up her hands to her eyes, so she was totally defenseless against the attack, which struck her in the chest and knocked the wind out of her. She fell down, holding her chest, coughing as Lea caught Lost Memory as it spun back towards him and held it up, it started to glow again.

"Pillar of hope!" he roared as a symbol:

materialised in the air just above him in a bright shine of light, then from the bottom , a beam of light appeared and the whole thing flew towards Selena, however Selena managed to slice through the beam like butter, surprising Lea.

"Whoa" he said "guess you're stronger then I thought...."

Selena didn't answer, she just charged with another battle cry and the fight continued, Selena halting it briefly with an elbow strike to the head, a knee to the stomach and a slash at the chest, which drew blood from Lea. Lea was right back up, exhausted, but not ready to go down without a fight.

He and Selena started fighting once more, but this time, Lea was the one who triumphed, he rolled behind Selena after avoiding one of her attacks and slashed at her knee, catching her left knee and knocking her down as she howled in pain. The guards, ready to intervene were suddenly halted as another man, unkown to Lea, was ordering them to leave.

Lea approached Selena and lifted Lost Memory, ready to finish her.

"This is for my family!" he roared.

"And this is for mine!" another roared behind him, the next thing Lea knew, there was a sharp pain to the back of his head, then everything he knew went black. Someone had knocked him out with a huge blow with the back of a large spear....

"Who asked you to get involved?!" Selena demanded at the huge man as he picked up Lea's unconcious body.

"I saved your life, you ungrateful, irresponsible bitch, he was about to kill you, and the future ruler of this kingdom..." Torran said, angry Selena had so foolishly put their child at risk.

[FLASHBACK]

Nebiru grabed his cloak from the rack and placed it over his head, the storm outside looked particulary nasty.

"Horrible weather, huh?" said Goru, one of Nebiru's fellow council members.

"Indeed" said Nebiru.

Nebiru-"The god's must be angered"

"pretty much reflects my feelings on our last meeting" joked Goru with a laugh as Nebiru laughed politely along.

"See you Goru" he said as he left through the door and walked out into the storm and through the darkness.

He arrived home about 15 minutes later, his water resistance cloak had kept him completely dry, he sighed, put his cloak on a nearby chair and went into his kitchen, his magic kitchen tools had already made his dinner for him, he was about to sit down, when he heard a knock on his door.

Nebiru got up and made his way to the door.

Nebiru-Who could that be at this time?

He opened the door but no one was there, there was simply a basket with a note on it. Nebiru picked it up and almost dropped it in shock, inside, was a baby!

"What th-" he said as he looked around, hoping to see someone, but whoever had left the baby was long gone.

Nebiru picked up the note, on one side, it said:


"His name is Claudio"

[Kikigurl]

He's been gone a while Sophie...

"Yeah... I know..." Sophie repled to Leon as she looked outside as the rain poured down. "Dammit..."

"Mother..." Lucas called out as he came down the stairs. "Whats wrong..."

You probably shouldn't worry him...

"Nothing Lucas, just worried about all this rain... we have had a lot of it lately and...."

"Don't bull sh1t me mother... I know your worried about dad, I'm not as young as you think..." Lucas said as he cut her off.

Remember Sophie he is 5 years older then what he should be.

"He's not ok Lucas... I just know he's not ok..." Sophie said as she lowered her head.

Lucas walked over and put him arm around her.

"If he's not back by dawn I will go find him..." Sophie said.

"We..." Lucas replied. "We will go find him..."

Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.

Alena looked down at one ok Kehl's favorite books as she read it to him. She knew he couldn't hear her, but at some point it gave her a sense of peace in all the madness.

"But how do I help the world when I am dead inside..." Alena muttered to herself as she looked up at Kehls body. The weird thing was his body hadn't really changed, it was actually preserved quite well in the past 7 years.

Alena closed the book as she laid down beside him in his bed.

"I... you made me feel alive Kehl..." Alena said as she cried clutching onto his shirt.

[Roxas]

"Should we just drop him here?" Zarian asked Kai as they were standing infront of the door.

"Yes yes yes yes" Kai hissed out as Zarian dumped the body of Sayn on the doorstep.

"Now leave..Or something" Kai said, waving his hand in the air as Zarian gave a nod and stretched out his wings and took to the sky.

"This is going to be priceless." Kai giggled as he knocked on the door and quickly flew and landed in a tree not far from the house.

________________________________________________________________________________​____________________________________________________
"you bloody thief!!" The man shouted after him as Gustave darted through the crowd and out of the main street and in to an alley.

Making sure he lost any potential followers, he made it outside of the town towards the big mansion that was burned down 7 years ago.

"Dammit... It's getting harder and harder for each frickin day.." he muttered as he slumped down against a tree and took out his bounty from his bag.

One cheese and a bottle of wine and some oranges..

"And the bounty get's smaller and smaller for each day also" he sighted, looking off down the hill, he saw what looked like his brother... running from... a sandstorm?

[Kikigurl]

Sophie sat down at the kitchen table trying to take her mind of things when a knock came at the door.

"Were you expecting someone Lucas?" Sophie said with a strange look on her face.

"Do I ever have anyone to expect?" Lucas replied.

Sophie gave Lucas an annoyed look before getting up to open the door. What she found on the other side made her heart sink into the deepest part of her stomach.

"What the hell?!" Sophie yelled out as she bent down to grab ahold of Sayn's body. There was so much blood everywhere she couldn't make out anything at this point.

She rushed Sayn into the house and threw everything off the kitchen table as she layed him down.

"Dad?!" Lucas said as he sat there in shock.

"Fcuk, there is so much blood..." Sophie said as ripped off his shirt looking for the wound. She quickly checked to see if Sayn had a pulse. "There's a pulse, barley but it's there."

"Who the hell did this?!" Lucas said as he went to the door looking out into the night.

Sophie didn't even hear Lucas, she immediately began focusing all her energy on trying to help Sayn with her healing spells.

"Lucas get some wet towls and clear off the bed." Sophie asked as she continued to exhaust herself with healing spells.

"But they are out there Mother..." Lucas replied.

"Lucas NOW!" Sophie yelled back at him, as Lucas looked back out the door before closing it and running upstairs.

He's going to be ok Sophie

"You don't know that..." Sophie thought to herself as she watched the wound gently close up.

"Here you go." Lucas said as he came back down the stairs with the towels.

Sophie grabbed them and started to wipe the blood off Sayns face and body.

"Looks like you healing spells are working." Lucas said just standing there still in partial shock.

"We are not out of the woods yet, he needs to make it though the night..." Sophie replied. "Here, help me get him up to bed please."

Without another word Sophie and Lucas got Sayn up into their bed. Sophie pulled up a chair beside him, grabbed her blade and laid it beside her. Lucas gave her a look of worry as she shook her head.

"I'm not sleeping until I know he's going to be ok..." Sophie said as she pulled the cover over Sayn so that he wouldn't go into shock.

"Do you want me to stay with you mom?" Lucas asked with a softness in his face.

"No... you go, I'll wake you up in the morning." Sophie said as Lucas nodded and left their room. "Dammit Sayn... I knew you shouldn't have went, why don't you ever listen to me."

[Xylon]

"RUUUUUUUUUUN!!!" Zin screamd at his brother who was sitting under the tree

Giro looked up with the cheese in one hand and the wine bottle in the other..

He looked passed Zin and saw the angry mob behind him
He jumped up and packed the things in his bag as fast as he could

Just as Zin came up to him he was done.
They started to run through the thick forest to try to shake of the mob..

They ran to a old cave they used to play in when they were younger

"We should be safe here" Zin said while he tryed to catch his breath..

Giro sat down on the wet cave rocks and looked at his brother
"What in the world did you do?.. And why didn't you fly away?"

Zin turned around and showed his brother his wounded wing.

Giro reached out and touched the wound..
"Dang.. Does it hurt?"

Zin jumped up in the air and hit his head on the cave ceiling

"OUCH!.. yes but not as much as that did."

Giro sat back on the rocks and looked at Zin with a troubled look..

"Well I guess they are on to us.. What should we do?"

Zin walk over to the rocks and sat down beside his brother..
"We leave he said"

Giro look up at him with big eyes
"Leave?."

Zin rubbed his hand on his head and started to look if he bled from the hit he took..
"Yes we're leaving.. There is nothing left for us in this town..
It is to small for us. And people is starting to recognize us
It's not a big town you know"

Giro gave out a sigh
"Yeah I guess you are right.
We need a bigger town with richer people"

Zin laughed as he ruffed his brothers hair up
"Haha I guess your right.
But first we need to rest so my wing can heal..
I wonder if our old camp is still here?"

The two brothers crawled deeper in to the cave to get the rest they needed for their big journey.

[Roxas]

Outside of the house in the tree, Kai sat on a branch trying his best to hold in his laughter.

"That's him..." he sighed out as his laughter had died out.

"The freakshow... The fairyboy crying for his daddy and mommy.." he continued to say to himself, "And what a mommy..." he added, licking his mouth.

________________________________________________________________________________​_________________________________________

Lucas made his way to a window and looked out.

"He's still there..." he said, as his eyes moved to the tree which Kai was hiding in.

"There.. " he said while nodding to himself.

________________________________________________________________________________​_________________________________________

Sayn moved in and out of consciousness.
"Soophiie.........." Sayn mumbled out, trying to raise his arm though failing as he just didn't have the strength to do it.

________________________________________________________________________________​_________________________________________


"So.. Tomorrow then?" Gustave asked Zin who nodded.

"We leave before sunrise and catch the first boat out of here.." he replied.

"Sweet" Gustave said with a huge grin and slumped down next to his back that he had filled with whatever he might need.

________________________________________________________________________________​________________________________________

Making his way to Sayn and Sophies bedroom, Lucas knocked the door before opening.

"I'm going out.." He said, looking over at Sayn.

[Kikigurl]

"Soophiie.........." Sayn mumbled out, trying to raise his arm though failing as he just didn't have the strength to do it.

Sophie put his arms down as she kissed his forhead.

"It's ok Sayn, you're safe here. Just rest I won't leave you..." Sophie whispered in his ear.

Just then a knock came at the door, it was Lucas.

"I'm going out.." He said, looking over at Sayn.

You know where he's going...

Sophie let out a sigh looking over at Sayn. "I have a feeling I know why you going out and your almost 18..." Sophie grabbed a dagger from under the bed tossing it to Lucas.

"If you need it... if you find who did this..." Sophie's eyes began to tear up. "Cut their damn throats..."

Well I wasn't expecting that one Sophie, I thought for sure you'd make him stay.

[Xylon]

"Zin........Zin..........Zin..........Zin.....Zin.....ZIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIN!!"


"WHAAAT!" Zin screamed while he looked his eyes in Giro..


Giro looked and with a big grin he askt.
"Are you awak?"


"I am now.... thanks to you" Zin said while he sat up..

"Good Good then we can leave right away.. the sun is almost up" Giro Said while he packed up the last things


Zin raised his left eyebrown and lookt at Giro

"Suure.. its not like i just woke up or anything.."

The two took a pice of cheese that they hade stolen yesterday and then headed down for the harbor to find a boat to get a ride away from this god forsaken island.

[Roxas]

Lucas looked at the knife, raising his eyebrow.

"Thanks..." he replied backing out of the room and closed the door behind him.

Leaving the knife on a table in the hall he made his way down the stairs and out the door.

Building up his energy, both of hands caught on fire.
"Let's play..." his said out to the empty night as he raised his hands as the tree Kai was hiding was completely covered in a pillar of fire.

Not expecting anything to survive, he was unprepared for what would come next. Out of the fire, a shadow flew out and landed just inches away from his face.

"Yes.. Let's play!" Kai hissed out with a wide smile as he jumped Lucas and forced them both down to the ground.

Desperately Lucas tried to get away, but Kai hooked his legs around his legs and his arms around Lucas arms and torso.

"You are so fucking pathetic..." Kai said as he sun his teeth into Lucas neck.

They rolled around the grass for minutes before Kai managed to knock Lucas out with a headbutt .

Panting Kai let his grip go of Lucas.

"Pansy boy.." Kai said as he got up and spread his wings.
