This could be a great RPG. 11/9/04 Day of Reckoning Name: Captain Johnathan Jackson "Jacks" Age: 24 Gender: Male Appearance: Teal Personality: Turns every situation into a comical one, but can be serious when need be. Style: Earth Favored weapon: Sniper Rifle Favored Vehicle: Tank Bio: Jacks was pulled straight from his sniper training on earth and thrown into training with Master Chief. He picked his armor color to be teal because he felt it would give his fellow trainees something to laugh at. He had planned on switching colors when they returned to earth, but the covenant attack came before they could make it back.

Senkai pulled Mayhony aside as the last two finished the lock test. "You know we're ready, why do we not do some real jobs, this training is too unrealistic. We need action, something we can use our individual skills hell I guess I just wanna knock off a few guards or something" Senkai whispered, the excitment showing in his voice. "I will give you a job when I think you are ready Senkai, you volunteered to work for me, so decide now what you are going to do." "Well...Syn would be lost without me, and somebodys gotta keeps his eyes on the zeal crystal, and not your chest." Senkai said intentionally loud so Syn would here. [I]This ragtag group just might have what it takes, to finish what we started old friend[/I] Senkai thought to himself as he rejoined the group, where Mayhony was busy briefing them on the next bit of training.

Senkai looked towards the door, and then back at Syn...[I]This is the most elaborate door I've ever seen, I'm glad the others must've already made it through. And there's no way they're leaving me behind[/I] Senkai and Syn dashed through the open door, straight into pitch black darkness. "Well this could present a problem" Syn noted. "Nah, first rule, always come prepared" Senkai grinned as he drew out two pairs of goggles. "These will help a little bit, but we're gonna hafta hurry if we're going to catch up, I think I can hear footsteps above us." Syn put on his goggles, "Amazing, you can almost see perfectly...let me guess, where you went the other night" Senkai glanced over, grinning. "I never take any chances, and besides I'd hate to think we'd lose to those amatures." He started off, Syn right beside him. Together the two dodged traps right and left. Suddenly Senkai stopped the two. "Syn look, theres your girlfriend" he whispered to Syn. "She's not my...oh she is right there" They both noticed her before she even knew they were there. "I'm guessing the game is steal the ribbon?" "Well then, lets steal a ribbon." Senkai grinned. Drawing two throwing knives he handed one to Syn, "These are coated with a special rubber, acting as a silencer, that way they don't make a noise, but the will stick the wall." Syn knew exactally what was expected, Senkai could tell by the look in his eyes. The two launched the knives simultaneously, both landing their marks stealing two ribbons. The only problem was being the expert she was Mayhony noticed, took back her ribbons, and threw the knives right back. "Hey you almost hit me" Senkai complained. "Now boys, its not nice to play other peoples games without being asked," A menacing grin grew on her face, "now tell the others I send my love" She drew two more ribbons and placed them in her belt. She then pulled a lever, dropping the floor out from under Senkai and Syn. As the two plunged down Syn looked to Senkai "She knew we were there the entire time didn't she?" All Senkai could get out before he hit the ground was. "Yup" As the two rose to their feet, they realized they were in a jail cell, in a sort of blast from the past, fully functional dungeon...right along with the others trapped in Mayhony's little house of horrors.

Talan surveyed the small room..."Fine bunch of heros we are....couldn't even stop Balors first invasion..." He said as he collapsed. "What are ye bitching about elf?" Blorn said as he helped him up,"I'd say we're fairing quite nicely" Talan gave Blorn a look of sheer frustration, "I don't know how many Reya and I felled, but they just keep coming." "Talan," Reya began, "ye and I have taken less damage than any of the others, we'll stay and guard the battlements the best we can..the rest of ye go and find the king, maybe the old wizards gotta spell or two to help us get out've this infested town" Talan looked to Reya...[I]how am I supposed to keep up with her, no forget that I must find a way...I will finally prove myself as a warrior Reya[/I] Talan thought to himself as the others left to find the king. "Reya, as soon as you think of something come and get me", he called to her as he got on top of the enchanted battlement. [I]Sarai's spell is still holding strong....hehe time for a little fun[/I] Talan drew back his bow and readied an arrow. "Here you go bastards" Talan cried as he began lobbing arrows into the sea of enemies. No aiming was required since they were so close together. Talan hated to admit it, barring all the almost death, and danger. He was really enjoying himself.

Well I've grown up and gradumadated. The biggest problem I ever saw is how quickly anime evolves. I started out hooked on DBZ my freshmen year, if you want to hook people. You need to start them out with anime with a decent storyline. Some comedy, but something that can also be serious as well as comical, and action packed. The best thing I can think of is start off by posting flyers around the school, as well as high schools, middle schools, elementary schools, and even around town. You'd be amazed at how many younger/older students, as well as members of the community are big anime buffs. Perhaps pull some money together with some close friends and rent out a slightly larger place. It may seem worthless at first, but depending on the community you live in. It may be a lot smaller than you'd think. After you gather your initial group, then you can work on breaking them into different sorts of anime, they may have never heard of. I agree with starting off w/Inuyasha, or maybe Trigun. But no matter what anime you get, its imperative you watch in English, or native tounge I suppose. Most people, well at least everyone we had in our anime club. Enjoyed watching multiple types of Anime as long as it was in english, or at the [B]very least[/B] english subtitled. But once you find your initial group, it'll be easier to gather funds whether its by a sort of fundraiser. If need be, you'd be amazed at how a simple letter to the library speaking your cause...or something of the sorts.

Umm you really need to read the rules for any thing you post in. B/c there is a certain place for every sort of post. A good place to start is the Adventure Inn, if you have any questions PM one of the mods. Welcome to the boards though!

Asaku grinned as another demon plummeted down to the Earth. "Like taking candy from a baby" He mumbled to himself as he blasted another. "I hope you like this Orion, because you're next..." suddenly Asaku paused as he heard a loud Snap, and a scream, "Sakura!", he cried as he turned towards the source. Sakura was laying on the ground, her arm obviously broken with the demoness standing over her. [I]That demoness is hard core. But I gotta little surprise for her[/I] Asaku thought to himself as he charged towards her. "Takahiro I need your help" He cried as he flew past Takahiro. As if reading his mind Takahiro slipped his gem into the barrel of X-Calibur. "Die demon bitch" He yelled as he let loose an enormous energy blast from his pistol. [I]Oh no, its not enough. "Sakura I need you to focus your energy on her"[/I] He called to Sakura through the mindlink. Sakura Obliged by loosing a mighty energy blast focused through her gem at the demoness. "ARGH" the white demon cried as she began to leave the earthly realm. "[B]This is for Kitty[/B] " Asaku cried as he came from behind the demon, barley dodging the twin energy blasts. His sword fell over the demons neck, severing it....And with that the demoness disapeard back to the realm of the dead. "Takahiro" Asaku cried to his ally not even slowing after finishing the demon. "You need to help Sakura, I'm going to finish what I started with these wreched minor demons of Orion" Takahiro knelt over Sakura, and began healing her. While Asaku flew back towards the army of demons which now numberd a little under 2,000, blasting more and more out of the sky with every second that past.

"I'm taking the bed" Syn growled. "That's fine" Senkai replied rolling his mat onto the floor. "You had a mattress ready to go?" Syn asked. "Yes, I always have it with me, I was once on a recon mission before an assassination. I slept inside a heating duct for three days, so it comes in handy." Senkai replied grinning at the memory. "Well, so how long have you been in the business?" Syn asked making small talk "If we make it through the training...I'll consider revealing something about my past...but until then I'm not getting acquanted with anybody." Senkai said still setting up his new home. "I'm going out though, I need to check on some things" Senkai said standing up. "Better check in with Mayhony before, it might be one of her rules." Syn said warnningly "Yes...I suppose that may be the best I'd hate to lose these...lovely living accomidations" He said with a smile as he left. He was going to like working with Syn, and maybe even after this long drawn out training is done, he may enjoy working with Mayhony...just maybe

The four angels stood around, each one forming his own plan in his head. "Okay guys...we gotta put our heads together..."The ground quickly began divising a plan. "We don't have time to wait on Sakura, or Takahiro, but I'm sure they'll catch up soon. I say we should try the old plan about crashing the castle. Except I'll go up first...draw out the guards and whatever baddies are in there. Then you guys go and find Kitty. And when ya get out, we'll have some fun with whatevers leftover." Asaku said to the others. Saio looked to him, "You can't do that, I'm a little stronger let me do it" Asaku looked at him solemly "Thats why you need to go, incase any trouble arrises with Orion....Look I'm going to do it, and if you don't let me, then fight me" Asaku looked towards each member of the group, knowing none would want to have a fight in the group. The four began heading towards the palace. Asaku flew as close to Aida and whispered, "Listen Aida, I belive Kitty and you belong together. Yes I love her, but I couldn't ask for her to be with a better friend...plus she might start letting you wih at video games" He patted Aida on the back and flew ahead of the group. The others headed to a small sewer entrance on the underside, Asaku told them about from his short stay in the palace. "Orion, you weak little bastard, come out here, so I can finish what I started with your gate!" Asaku cried out. An illusion of Orion's head appeared in front of Asaku. "Well...did you come back to beg for my mercy Asaku?" Orions voice penetrated his skull. "Listen here fathead, get out here and fight me man to man...not man to fat floating head." "Well your little friend seems to like my head, infact she told me to tell you she's glad my "fat" head will be the last thing you'll ever see...oh and one more thing my lil lovestruck weakling...my portals been fixed for about 6hrs now." A smile pierced his lips as he began fading. [I]Oh no the guys[/I] Asaku grew fearful Orion knew about the others...but that was quickly taken away as the gates to the palace opened. 4,000 little demons, plus one big mean looking winddemon began pouring out ready to fight....

Senkai waited as the female walked through the double doors. "Its about time you show up" He whispered behind her. As she whirled around Senkai dropped six pouches on the ground. "Tell your friends that if they're gonna go to a meeting of thieves they should at least be smart enough to doubly secure their own funds." He couldn't help but crack a smile. "[I]Why weren't you inside with the others?[/I] " Mayhony asked calmly "I don't feel the need to prove myself by killing innocent patrons...well at least when I'm not getting paid too. And Gunfire is so loud, I just thought I'd wait out here. So the question is, am I in....or am I out...I've been in a lot of bands, and this has intrigued me more than any. If you need some proof of my skills ask around....I'm pretty well known around here. Its the reason I'm here, I asked around and heard you're one of the best....but enough small talk, should I head to the attic, or am I out?" Senkai asked calmly, but impatiently

Stirring from his sleep Asaku felt the urge to rush to the window...."[I]Somethings not right[/I] " He thought to himself. As he glanced towards The clouds that housed Orions Palace he confirmed his suspicions. "Oh hell no" Asaku cried as he realized what the figure was, some female demon held Kitty in her claws and was racing for Orion's palace. Quickly transforming, drawing his blade which glew a brilliant Red color, and leaping from the window simultaneously Asaku raced to beat the demon to the castle. "[I]Everybody, wake up, Kitty's being taken to the castle by some unknown demon[/I] " He could only hope they heard his mindlink cry as the demon released a gust of wind at Asaku throwing him 200ft to the ground....he landed with a sickening thud as he looked up at the sky at Kitty and the demon....then nothing but blackness.

IC: Asaku drew a fast breath when he heard Kitty ask Aida to go for "a walk" with him. "[I]How does Aida do it? No matter how close I seem to be getting with her, he interferes.[/I] " Asaku flew to a great height, watching the two in their walk...their embrace...and their kiss. He flew back ahead of them and took back his spot on the couch when they entered.... "Why are you all wet Asaku?" Kitty asked. "I thought I had heard something outside, and I went to check it out. But it was nothing more than that annoying cat again. Asaku watched the two sit down, Kitty beside him and Aida on the otherside. "Hey Asaku, wanna try and play me. I beat Kitty earlier, so I know I can beat you now" Aida boasted. Asaku picked up a controller, well he couldn't beat Aida to a pulp in real life, so what better than to knock the snot out of him in some video games. "wow you have gotten better Aida" Asaku sarcastically said as he beat Aida quickly in 5 straight games. "I'm getting tired of this, Hey Kitty, I stole one of your books earlier, but I'm gonna go put it back on your bed, you guys have a nice night" He said as he went upstairs.... After placing Kitty's book back on her bed, he sat in his chair by the window and staired outside. "Rains finally stopped" Kitty's voice came from behind. Looking towards her he was at a loss for words, probably for the first time in his life. "Ummm...come in?" Asaku asked more than said.

Asaku was deap in thought when Saio and Takahiro flew back into the dorm. "Asaku they're back.....ASAKU!" Kitty snapped, which snapped Asaku straight out of his trance. "I'm sorry, I'm just sort've....not feeling well" Asaku quickly finished and flew to his room, as he heard Saio and Takahiro begin their story about the young boy, his drug addiction, and their shock therapy for him. "[I]hehe those guys[/I] " Asaku thought to himself. *Knock Knock* "Asaku may I come in?" Sakuras voice sounded from outside. "Yeah come in" Asaku replied somberly, face buried into a book, one of Kittys she had been reading he swiped from her room when he got his oreo's back a few hours before. "Asaku whats bothering you?" Sakura asked, the concern sincerly showing in her voice. "What do you mean? I told you guys I just don't feel well" He sort of snapped back to her. Sakura giggled and pointed to his book, "So since you're not feeling well, you read upside down?" "Oops" Asaku closed his book up and laid it down. "Well...frankly Sakura I'm worried...I don't know if I can face Orion again" Asaku stood up and walked to his window. "After you guys left I unleashed my gem, everything that had happened with Kitty gave me the strength I needed, the Power and Love that Lillyana had told me about. I thought I could easily destroy him...but once I got to the portal and destoryed it, I felt his power grow." Asaku cracked a half smile, "I guess he didn't take kindly to his source of cheap labor being destroyed." His smile left as quickly as he began. "I don't know if I can face it, and see anybody get hurt...especially" Sakura stood "Asaku...we're all here for you...and you know she is too...you just need to talk to her" Asaku opened the window up, spread his wings and looked to the moon. "Thanks Sakura, but I'm going to work this out my own way" With that Asaku took off into the night. After a few hours of flying Asaku landed on top of a building, starring at the streets below...noticing the people. Some happy, some sad. But all of them doing their own thing...being able to live, and have the chance to be happy... Asaku looked to the cloud that housed Orions Castle...his one time home. "Okay guys" Asaku really smiled for the first time since he stole his oreo's back from Kitty. "I'm ready to fight when you are" With that Asaku took off for the Sanctuary. Landing back in his room he hid the book of Kitty's under his pillow and went downstairs with the others...."Hey guys...I'm back" He said happily

IC: "[I]It is time for you to go now Asaku...you cannot stay here any longer"[/I] Lillyana's voice. There is no need for you to complete what you have started. You have unlocked the power within you Asaku...now go to her. Asaku awoke to Kitty's voice....the one thing he had wanted to do for as long as he could remember. As he floated there....he realized what had brought him back, the thing Lillyana had mentioned. His true power, his love for Kitty....his love for Kitty, and her love for him, no matter what form it took friendship...or possibly a little bit more. "I don't want you gone." She repeated over and over. "Kitty I must, to make sure Orion never bothers you...or any of the other Angels again." She handed him something...her gem...her power..."[I]She's sacrificing her power....for me....to make sure I succeed and my death won't be in vane[/I] " Asaku thought to himself...tears swelling in his eyes. He began the last bit of his sacrifice...drawing his power. When he began thinking of the good times they had when they were back at the sanctuary... Asaku looked down into Kitty's eyes...and what he saw sent him from rage at Orion, and completly broke him down into sobs...he saw the old Kitty, not the one who he had fought against just a short time ago...not the battle enraged Kitty...but the Kitty beating Aida in Videogames....and then she fainted... "Kitty!" Asaku cried breaking his trance. He caught her just before she hit the ground. "Kitty...Kitty" Asaku beckoned her to wake up. "Kitty...Kitty" Sakura's voice..distant but very distinct. Asaku rose with Kitty in his arms and flew towards Sakura's voice. Weaving through the maze like palace, Kitty finally started to wake up, as he noticed her eyes fixed on him he looked down to her. "You know you still owe me some oreos" He said grinning. She smiled back. "And you know you're not gonna get them anytime soon" "Hey!" Asaku pleaded as they rounded the final corner and literally ran into Sakura and the others. "Hey!" Sakura said rubbing her head and sitting up. "Asaku!" Everybody cried happily..."I'm sorry for the way I went all crazy on ya...but I'm back" Asaku smiled...but his smile was short lived as he finally let Kitty out of his arms..."Now all of you go now!" He yelled at them, as he began his transformation. "Everybody out now!" he cried now...seeing the seriousness in his eyes and realizing he wouldn't be detered Aida, Yojimbo, Takahiro, and Sakura began leaving. Kitty ran to Asaku and embraced him. As he embraced her, he again began thinking about everything that had happened between them...The way she smiled at him, when she yelled at him...He pulled her away a little and looked into her eyes. "Kitty....I love you" He said softly. He brought her in close and softly kissed her lips...After a second he pulled away and whispered in her ear "Don't worry, I'll never leave you again" He began to fly away, he looked over he shoulder one last time and yelled at her, "Don't worry, I'm just going to hit Orion where it hurts the most...his pride....and then I'll meet you back at the Sanctuary" And with that he flew into the darkness of the castle....towards the gate where Orion's minions come in and out of. Back at the Sanctuary. "You actually let him go!?" Sakura scolded "you could've persuaded him to stay, he would have listened to you Kitty" Kitty looked to Sakura "No he wouldn't have, he has a vendeta against Orion...don't worry he's not going to get caught by him, he just had something to take care of and he'll be right back" "Thats still no reason....." Sakura was cut of short as a green light appeard and Asaku in all his glory feel on top of the television. "ouchies" he said as he rubbed his ankle. "Asaku!" Kitty cried as she ran to him, "was my gem of any help?" "What??? Ohhh well I wasn't sure I was coming back so I..." He trailed off as he pointed at her breast pocket. "Huh!?" she murmmerd as she opened her pocket and pulled her gem. "How...Asaku now you're deffinateally not getting any oreos!" She scolded him and slapped him playfully. "Ahhh I'm sorry just please don't take away my oreos!" He feel to the ground as though he had lost his best friend. He gave her a hug and turned to Sakura, "Well don't worry about any new minions anytime soon, Orion's going to have a lot of work to do before we see him again I think, I shattered his portal to the netherworld into about 500million pieces." "[I]I'm finally home....finally home[/I] " Was all he could think as he still embraced Kitty.

I totally agree with the sometimes things happens part, I addressed that in my first post. But what I'm saying is when that person comes back they should have to send a PM, if not to a mod since I realize they have other responsibilities, and even they sometimes have things going on to where they cannot fullfill their duties 24/7, at least to the person whose story they could very well have ended just by leaving. And as far as the Losing interest, I can see if several people lose interest and they all agree the story has lost some sort of edge. Or I can even see a couple, but they should at least have to send a PM to whoevers in charge of the RP explaining that the stories lost the edge and they're going to quit....

This prolly isn't the right place for it, and I'm going to apologize to all the mods right now. But there is a big problem with people just quitting RP's. I understand that things happen sometimes where you can't get to a computer for a few days. Thats happened to me, I apologized and jumped back into the RP's. I think we need to initiate something as to where if you just quit an RP because you lose interest in it, you should be banned from participating in any more RP's for so long or something. And if you're absent for a long time during an RP, before you can participate in another one you should have to PM a mod explaining why you were absent. Well again I aplogize since I'm sure this is not the right place for it. But something had to be said about it.... Thank you

"Mother?" Asaku asked, "what am I doing here? I remember Orion...and thats it." Lillyana smiled at Asaku. "You're home Asaku...back in 'Paradise'." Asaku rose to his feet. "I cannot be here....I need to worn everybody about Orions true power...I don't know if we can stop him!" Lillyana's smile grew larger and she chuckled a bit. "Asaku, don't be silly. You and your fellow choosen angels have always had the power to stop Orion. Its just a little hard to find, why do you think all of your weapons carry a special quality likt your sword. Power and Love...every angel has a set of emotions that can help realease the angels true power. Sakura will explain everything." Asaku embraced Lillyana. "Mother...what have I done? I have abandoned the others to Orion." "The angels are trying to save you right now Asaku..." Lillyana said as she showed him what was going on in Orions palace. "Don't they know I'm already gone?" Asaku said, breaking down and sobbing to Lillyana. "Orion will surley find them and slaughter them." Lillyana returned the hug and began consoling Asaku. "There is a way Asaku...but if they don't get you out soon there will be no chance." Asaku rose to his feet. "I don't care mother! If anything goes wrong...I want to use my secret power." Lillyana knew of the consequences that could bring. "If you use that, you'll be gone Asaku" Asaku looked at his mother somberly. "Its worth it mother, they are trying to save me, even though what I did." Asaku brought himself into a trance as he began summoning his secret power. "If anything goes wrong mother.....signal me through a mindlink."

[B]Major props on this idea![/B] Name: Johnathan "Old School" Doe Age: 16 Gender: Male Items: Colt 45 w/1 bullet and his lockpick kit. Description: [URL=http://www.animeshack.com/gallery/animegallery1/gundam_wing/gundam_wing001.html]Click Here[/URL] Bio: John is an outkast. His younger brother had been a member of a local gang who was gunned down by the police. He never has trusted anybody and has started his own gang, the "Old School" Okatu. He was driving down main street when a sudden flash of light forced him to pull over. When the light cleared everyone was gone.

Asaku and Kamokio arrived just as Sakura left. "Yojimbo...long time no see" Asaku cried happily. In truth he was excited about seeing one of his old friends happy, and by the looks of it, quite powerful. Yojimbo on the other hand, was not so happy to see him. As soon as the two landed Yojimbo brought his blade out. "Let us get this over with Asaku....I don't know how you bested the others but you can't touch me" he cried as he lept towards Asaku....Clang their blades rang out into the dark of the night. Even the city below seemed to halt its busy nightlife at the sound of the battle. "Yojimbo listen to me, your gem is all I need and it will be done" Asaku pleaded. "Why do you hold back Asaku...my gem is yours if you can take it from me" Yojimbo grunted. "Why do you hold back dark angel?" Kamokio's voice rang. "[I]No matter how I slice it....he's right. Yoji's unlocked to much of his gems power already for me to take him lightly[/I]" Asaku thought to himself and grinned. Asaku realeased some of his power, breaking the two apart.....summoning the power of his now three gems Asaku's power grew quickly. And with a quick burst of energy he launched Yojimbo onto one of the rooftops, knocking him sensless with a combination of the three gems. Clang...Clang, the sound echoed a million times over as Asaku bent to pick up the gem. "ARGH" He cried as a brilliant blue and red light erupted around him, sending him flying. "Sakura...you found your gem." He didn't even have to look to see, he had felt her get the gem. But for some reason he held himself back from going after her, and he realized now why. "[I]How has she managed to unlock all that power already? She couldn't have had her gem that long...even the power of these gems is no match for her[/I] " Asaku thought...plotting a way to relieve her of her gem. Suddenly Kamokio appeared behind Sakura grabbing the angel...somehow his power overwhelmed even her. "HAHAHA, I'm not a fool Sakura" Asaku laughed evily. "I wouldn't try to take on all of you at once without a little insurance" He laughed again as he headed towards her. Getting right up in her ear he whispered into it softly...so soft even Kamokio couldn't hear. "Takahiro's gem is going to be a challenge...it lies somewhere in the city...but I fear Orion has many minions around it, you are the only angel capable of getting him to his gem...but not to worry, in just a few short hours you will not have a need for the rest of the gems." Asaku finished by leaping back onto Yojimbo's gem. "I need some help with this Yoji" Asaku cried as he placed Yojimbo's gem into the crest in his pendant. "Die Sakura!" He cried as he loosed an energy blast intertwined with Aida, Kitty, Yojimbo, and Asaku's powers all combined. Kamokio's eyes widened as it neared the two. "Are you crazy?! You're going to kill me too" The demon left Sakura and lept into the air. "I was counting on your cowardice Kamokio" Asaku grinned. Kamokio's eyes widened in horror as he realized the energy wave curved past Sakura and bolted straight for the creature. "ARGH" He cried as his body disintegrated. No sooner did Sakura land on the ground then she cried for Asaku. "What are you planning Asaku? Let us help" She cried after him....but Asaku smiled and waved as he teleported to Orions den. Orions Palace.... "Why is Kamokio not with you!?" Orion demanded. "He won't be joining us master...." Asaku grinned, "He fell like so many others, to Love and Power" No sooner had Asaku said that, he was ready blade of Love and Power drawn prepared to do battle. "[B]I thought only my love for Kitty fueled my power....but I have realized that all I needed was the love of my comrades and the unity of their gems to defeat you Orion[/B] " Asaku cried as he launched an assault on Orion. Asaku thrusted...Slashed...and Lashed at Orion. None of his attacks even came close. Orion lashed out with a mighty punch sending Asaku flying into a wall. "Kitty...Aida...Yojimbo...with you powers I will be victorious" Asaku cried as he rose. He began another assault pure rage filled the blow as it connected with Orions exposed neck. Asaku sank to his knees...as his blade hit the ground in two pieces. "No" Asaku whimpered as he stared at his blade. "It should've worked...it should've worked" Unaware that Orion was even in the same room...Asaku began sobbing at the thought of his friends. Orion began charging up an energy attack...ready to crush the young warrior. As the blast connected..Asaku summoned up his last bit of strength to send his crest with all the gems in his possesion including his own back to the sanctuary. "Get umm guys...ARGH" Asaku gasped as he was flung to the wall again....his battered and broken body, lay slumped in the corner of Orions chambers.... Back at the Sanctuary... Saio finally stood on his own and began downstairs to get some oreo's. "What's this?" he wondered as he noticed something he hadn't noticed before. A crest with three shinging gems...and one green one struck his eye....as the glow faded leaving nothing but a turqoise rock.

IC: "Two more are on the way too find their gems Asaku...I want you and Shinoshu to find them" Orions voice echoed through Asaku's head. "Why do you continue to send Shinoshu with me? With the power of my gem, as well as Kitty's they can't hold a candle to my power" Asaku pleaded. "Insurance young angel, I haven't survived these millenia on trust." "But Shinoshu isn't even strong enough to battle one angel once their gems are found and harnessed" Asaku urged again. "[B]He's going with you and its final brat![/B] " Orion commanded, the small realease of power launched Asaku into a wall. "Yes sir" he grimmaced as he rose. Asaku flew off, Shinoshu close at his heels..... "What do you want Asaku?!" Aida's voice barked, "I don't want to hurt you, but between me and Kitty you don't stand a chance." "HAHAHA" Asaku laughed evily, "Do you think I'm worried about you even in the least? Lord Orion has helped me to harnass both of the gems." He finished, his evil smile growing. "Both gems!?" Both Aida and Kitty cried at once. "Yes now if you please, just give me your's Aida" "[B]Never![/B] " Aida cried as he sprung on Asaku....his speed was impressive. Weapons now drawn the two clashed. Metal on metal rang as the two began to rise into the air, the sheer power caused nearby trees to fall. And sent Kitty flying. "Kitty!?" Aida cried as he launched himself onto Asaku. "Don't you realize, fool" Asaku started, "If we keep fighting here we're going to kill somebody, even Kitty can't stand up to our new power." "Damn you guys, I'm not even fighting and ya hafta knock my ass down" Kitty yelled at the two floating combatants. The three began laughing..."[I]Oh know wheres.....[/I] " Asaku suddenly tensed up as he realized both were looking at him with confused glances. "I knew you weren't.....AHHHH" Kitty cried as she collapsed. "Huh!?" Asaku and Aida began flying together towards kitty to see what happened.... Suddenly three zombie K-9's burst from the trees right alongside Shinoshu. "You beast" Aida cried as he let forth a burst of black energy. "Die" Asaku cried as he loosed the power of the 2gems. All three energies combined into an amazing white light. Vaporizing the hounds right alongside their evil master. "We stopped umm" Aida said surprised. "Yes it would seem his time on this plane is up" Asaku grinned. "Asaku...does this mean you're on our side." Aida asked hopefully. Asaku looked towards his one time comrade...."I'm sorry" was all he said as he disapeared. "Oh no Kitty" Aida exclaimed as he headed towards Kitty's broken form.....SMACK came the sound as Asaku reappeared and smacked Aida on the back of the neck, sending him into an instant sleep. Clang...Clang. The gem sounded as it landed on the ground at Asaku's feet. "I'm sorry old friend...and again Kitty I apologize." He lifted the femal angel up to examine her wounds. "Asaku?" She whispered as she began to regain consciousness. "I'm here" He said as he teleported away "I'm always here" Back in Orions home...... "What happened to Shinoshu?" Orion demanded as Asaku entered his chambers. "That Angel Aida, slaughtered him with the power of his gem...it was truly amazing" Asaku replied. "But not to worry master, just as Kitty's his gem has been destroyed. I am now preparing to find Yojimbo, I believe he had found his gem already" As Asaku began to take off Orion beckoned. "Before you go, I want you to meet an old friend of mine" Orion said with a laugh....as he snapped his fingers a great beast appeared the lower half of a scorpion, the upper half a great Angel. Pinchers were where his hands should be. "This is my son, Kamokio he'll be with you on your next mission." Asaku grimmaced at the sight..."[I]He's even stronger than Shinoshu...but not much. But he's Orion's son....this can't be good[/I] " he thought as the two left to find Yojimbo and his gem.

"Wait Kitty!" Asaku cried as she blindly rushed towards him "[I]Damn she won't stop[/I] " Was all he could think. He had one thing on Kitty though, Orion had shown him how to use his gem, Kitty was still unwise to the powers it kept....Asaku's gem began glowing wildly in his chest. "Huh!?" Kitty murmmered as she saw Asaku disappear. "Kitty listen to me," Asaku had reappeared behind her, green energy already surged prepared to strike. "I don't wish to hurt you...its like I said earlier Kitty...believe." He urged at her. "This is just a trick Asaku...I know it" "Do you really believe that Kitty?..Well I guess it can't be helped then" Asaku prepared to level Kitty with a mighty blast.... Suddenly Kitty plummeted from the sky. "Wha!?" Asaku cried as he raced to catch her fall.....Catching her just a few feet above the ground, Asaku looked to the Sky to see Shinoshu grinning menacingly. "Get her gem and dispose of her Asaku, I'm going back to Lord Orion and tell him of our success." With that Shinoshu dissapeared into the black sky. "The sky's growing blacker...even during the day" Asaku said to noone in particular. He took Kittys gem from her hand...the power surge was amazing."[I]Boy she really hates me....but I guess it can't be helped.[/I] " He grinned at her...so beautiful...so perfect..A green energy swelled around the two as Asaku teleported them to 'The Sanctuary' All of the remaining angels were gathered around Saio trying to figure a way to remove the collar as Asaku and Kitty appeared. The green energy orb still glowed wildly around them. Bang Came the sound as Takahiro immediateally realized Asaku was present. But the bullet merely bounced from the green globe. "Shinoshu did this...she's pretty bad but I think she'll pull through" Was all Asaku said as he teleported from the room again. Leaving a room of dumbfounded angels...."Oh and by the way" He called from the mindlink. "One more gem down"

"[B]Why did you not kill them!?[/B] " Orion's gruff voice screamed in his head. "[B]You had them in your grasp and you let them live....why?[/B] " Orion was livid now. The fire in his eyes exploding. "Sir....I thought it best to let them suffer a bit at the thought of losing their friend." Asaku stood with a stone dead stare at Orion, challenging the manevolent creatures power. "You do best to remember who found your gem for you Asaku....and who holds the power to crush you" Orion grinned as he pointed towards Asaku. "I could crush you now...but I would rather break your spirits." With that, Orion snapped his fingers. Shinoshu appeared holding what appeared to be one of the angels. "Saio!?" Asaku cringed as he saw the angel in full flight. "He's under shinoshu's control...a very crude way to do it....and heres the deal. If you betray me Saio will die in battle against the other angels...I want you to go recover his gem...yes even though he's a half demon he has a gem on this world as well...its located in the husband of the one who holds Kitty's gem....Find kitty...follow her and prevent her from gaining her gem. And retrieve Saio's gem." Orion grinned, he knew the way Asaku felt about Kitty, and he knew he still loved her, but how much did he value his own life, and the life of the one called Saio. Seeing the look of doubt in Asaku's eye Orion decided to try and break him. Asaku grimmiced as the full force of the blast threw him to the floor. "[B]Don't think of betraying me Asaku...for if you try...I'll kill you[/B] " Orion laughed as Asaku rose from the floor. "[I]Not ready yet.....[/I] " Asaku thought to himself as he stared into Orions firey eyes..."Yes sir" Was all he said as he began his flight to where Orion had told him Kitty was heading.

Asaku stood there....he could sense the other angels approaching. "Yoji...forgive me but I cannot allow you to screw my plans" He could feel Takahiro raise X-Calibur towards him, but it did not phase the now dark angel. Yoji watched Asaku with a puzzled look on his face. The dark angel began to glow a faint yellow, a ball of energy began forming in his hand. BANG, the whole room went quiet. "Huh!?" Both Yoji, and Takahiro exclaimed in unison. Asaku was still generating the ball of energy in his hand as if nothing had happened. "Ahhh!" Asaku cried as he loosed the blast of green energy straight through the window and into the sky. Both Yoji and Taka hiro could do nothing but watch as the ball of energy reached its peak in the sky and erupted into an enormous blast. "A...Asaku?" Takahiro cringed "when did you become that strong" "Sweet isn't it" Asaku grinned "I met Orion and informed him of my unhappiness with the group, he obliged my new loyalty by granting me my gem, which he happened to take from an unfortunate customer at the store earlier." Asaku's evil grin grew wider as he looked to the two. "Now both of you will be the first ones to rejoice in my new found powers" Asaku cried ecstatically. His wings erupted as he called forth his sword. A blaze of pure power swirled all around him. "Now feel the true meaning of power" Asaku cried as he pointed his sword towards Yojimgo. BANG BANG BANG Takahiro unloaded three shots....Asaku moved with a speed even faster than Shinoshu's illusion did the first time they battled...so fast neither of the two hero could even detect it. Crack Asakus blade of Love and Power cut the blade from Yojimbo's Schythe, the force of the blow knocking Yojimbo to the ground. Asaku turned towards Takahiro, already preparing another shot. "haha fool" Asaku laughed as he loosed a ball of energy at Takahiro, "Uggh" was all the angel could say as he was flung into a wall...completly uncouscious. "I'll destory you Asaku" Yojimbo cried as he regenerated his schythe and charged at Asaku....but before he could even swing his weapon he met with another one of Asaku's energy blasts throwing him across the room...also unconscious. "Asaku!?" Kitty and Aida were the first angels to answer the earlier call from Yojimbo. But before either of them could summon their weapons Asaku was standing in front of them. "I wish I could say sorry....because I know I should be" Asaku said mournfully. Aida lunged at Asaku...but quicker than he could register Asaku's fist made contact with Aidas face throwing him to the ground....Looking towards Kitty, who could do no more than stare in disbelief. "Kitty....believe" Was all he said before teleporting himself out of the angels sanctuary.....
