Redemption

OOC: Ok just to clear a few things up. We live in the same dormitory, all of us. Secondly, we don't have parents because we come from Heaven. We pretend we do but in reality, we don't. This is getting confusing isn't it? Well I'm going to spice things up about now so keep watching. [COLOR=DeepSkyBlue]After finishing her breakfast, Sakura grabbed her bag and made her way to school. Trudging down the stairs, she looked at her watch. [I]Oh no! I'll late!!! What's my teacher going to say?[/I] Sakura looked around if the coast was clear and smiled. " No one's going to get angry with me if they don't see me!" A white glow appeared on her shoulders as her angel wings sprouted from her shoulders. A sense of relief spread throughout her entire body. [I]Mmm. That feels so good. I've almost forgotten what it feels like to be who I really am.[/I] With a small pop, Sakura disappeared and reappeared in the park next to her school. The bell rang. " Uh oh. Yojimbo is gonna kill me!!!" Her wings disappeared back into her shoulders as she ran towards her school, shirt and skirt flying up in the strong breeze. In a few minutes, Sakura was huffing and puffing at her class's door. She knocked on it tentatively. " Yes Miss Sakura, you're late again. Come in and sit down," came the booming voice of her teacher. Sakura opened the door and strank into a chair besides Yojimbo. " What took you so long?" Yojimbo whispered to her as their teacher drawled on about mathematics. " Just late..." " No encounters?" Sakura looked up at him. " Why do you ask?" Yojimbo looked deadly serious. " I can feel them. They're coming." Sakura's eyes narrowed. " You sure?" " Positive." Sakura scanned the classroom. Some of her companions were scattered through the class. She hoped that they could sense the coming of evil too. A sudden smashing of glass echoed through the classroom. The huge glass windows at the classroom exploded as a group of black, gargoyle-like beings entered through the broken windows. Everyone except the Angels tried to run out of the classroom, but some were attacked by these things. Sakura leapt up on her desk. Yojimbo did the same. " I'm not letting them hurt these innocents." Sakura sprung off her desk. As she flipped through the air, the Katana of Courage and Friendship appeared in her hands. She singled out one gargoyle who was attacking one of Sakura's many friends. It was trying to bite her. She was screaming. This only made Sakura more mad. " Get off of her you filth!!!" With one slice of her blade, Sakura spilt the gargoyle in half. The gargoyle screamed its death scream and erupted in flames. Sakura landed easily on the floor. She spun around and dragged her friend out of the way of another incoming gargoyle. " Hitome, get out of here!!!" Sakura's friend scrambled backwards against a wall, frozen in fear. " HITOME!!!" Suddenly, Sakura was grabbed by the arm and flung into the wall. The impact dazed her slightly. She stood up to see Hitome getting attacked again. This time, Sakura directed her anger into her blade. The katana glowed white. Black writing peeled off the sword and circled around Sakura. She charged at the beings attacking Hitome. With fire in her eyes, Sakura quickly disposed of the gargoyles. They erupted in flames, just like the first did, and vanished. Breathing hard, Sakura looked at Hitome. She had fainted with fear. More black beings flowed through the broken windows. Sakura spun around. " How many of these things do we have to kill?"[/COLOR] OOC: Ok guys, there has been an attack from Orion. Basically we need to defeat these things before they overrun the school. Have fun!

Name: Chloe Evangelia Age: 18 Gender: Female Appearance: See attachment Mech: Name - Athene It was named after the Greek goddess of justice. Chloe's father specifically designed it for Chloe as he knew one day that she would become a Gundam pilot. It is designed for aerial combat and a little ground combat. Its main weapon is the Justice Staff. Basically a huge metal staff that can be maneuvered easily by the Gundam and used with great effect. Country: France Personality: Chloe is a person who likes to hang with her friends. She trusts a few people, mainly only Gundam pilots. She has an extremely strong sense of justice. Her honesty and reliability makes her a dependent person. She will always be there when she is needed. Also, she has a soft spot for animals and innocent people. She has high morals which she will never violate for anyone. As well, she has high goals and works hard to achieve them. Bio: Chloe grew up on Earth, in France. She used to live in a mansion built by her ancestors. As she grew up with her mother, she learned that her father was a Gundam pilot and left his Gundam to his only child, Chloe. Her mother took her to where her father had hidden his Gundam and she was told that only her voice could activate it from its slumber. From then on, Chloe has trained to become the best in her country.Many competitions were won. Her training also consisted of training her body. She was chosen as a Gundam pilot to help out with the crisis at stake because of her skills in her Gundam. OOC: I hope that's ok.

Jalena waited for Phelan to join the group. She so dearly would have loved to yelled at him at this present moment in time but somehow, it just wouldn't come out. Without a word, Jalena turned to the door and walked out. The others followed. At the road's edge was a limousine, their transport for tonight. The driver opened the door from her. She flashed him a smile before entering. Everyone else piled in. The trip to the Pope's Palace was a quiet one. No one dared opened their mouth. Jalena suspected it was because of the mood she was in. In fact, they were quite right. One, she was angry at Phelan for going into the Underworld without her. Two, she was disappointed at Zeddrick for going when he did. And three, Luke was really frustrating her with his lack of co-operation. She lent back into the seat. [I]I suppose I would do that same thing so I sort of can't blame the guy.[/I] The car rolled to a stop. Blake, Phelan, Leon and Zeddrick climbed out. One by one, the girls exited the car. Blake and Tanya went together, much to Tanya's approval. Zeddrick, Lina and Leon walked off arm in arm, chatting to each other. Finally, Jalena exited the car and took Phelan by the arm and both of them walked into the Pope's Palace. OOC: Ok guys. You have free reign til I get back. Make sure it sticks to the storyline. And don't go past the part where we steal the notebook. I have something special up my sleeve.

[CENTER][IMG]http://img4.imagetown.net/91797005.jpg[/IMG] [COLOR=DeepSkyBlue]" Quickly...go my children. Flee to the safety of Earth. Do not let your minds cast doubts about my command. Be safe my chosen ones. Do not forget who you are, what you are and what your destiny holds for you..."[/CENTER] Sakura awoke to the birds chirping outside her window. She yawned. " Morning already?" Slowly she moved out of bed and made her way to her bathroom. After a quick shower, she dressed in her school uniform, her long orchid hair falling to one side as she slipped on her school shoes. Yawning again, Sakura made her way to the breakfast room. Cereal and toast were on the menu this morning. She took a bowl and filled it with cereal and managed walking back to a table without spilling a drop, which was quite an achievement. This early in the morning was not a good time for Sakura.[/COLOR]

Sakura walked down one of the corridors of Knockdown High. She felt at ease here. No parents to worry about, fighting all day and sneaking around, picking more fights, at night. She put her hands on the back of her head. " This is the life." A voice echoed from the end of the corridor. " Hey baby. Come here and give me some sugar!" Sakura whirled around, her violet streaked white hair followed. A guy about 4 years older than her looked her up and down. He licked his lips. Sakura smiled and walked up to him, her hips swaying seductively. " What did you say hotshot?" she said almost hyponotisingly. The guy was in awe at her purring voice. " I said come here and give me some sugar." Sakura's eyes narrowed. She crouched down and kicked his feet from underneath him. He laid sprawled on the ground, dazed. " Never say that to me again," Sakura growled. She stormed off in a rage to the grounds of Knockdown High.

Nice characters everyone. Just an update on the RPG. I'll be gone a week so I'll start the RPG in Adventure Square and you guys can have free reign til I'm back. Just do stuff that sort of sticks to the storyline. That's what it will basically be. I'll introduce parties of bad dudes every once in a while and one of us, or many, will defeat them. So yeah. Have fun!!

I was just wondering where everyone got their pictures from for their appearances in sign-ups for RPGs? Could someone please tell me a good site? I've found angelroms.com which is pretty good but is there any others?

[COLOR=RoyalBlue]Hey guys? Hows everyone? Well I thought I'd race a couple of ideas past you guys if you promise not to copy any of them. Cause if I find any that have been copied, watch it! Idea 1 - Zoids RPG Basically a Zoids RPG running on from the Bit Cloud series (I haven't seen much of the next one). It will be about recruiting people to a new Guardian Force because an evil looms over the planet Zi. Also a tournament running too. That will be sort of a Guardian Force exercise. There will be teams of other players and NPCs. Idea 2 - Code of the Samurai Each samurai has a value they believe in and stand for. Eg justice, hope, like my angel RPG but in feudal Japan. Kenshin like era. Yeah have't really got much on that one. But I'm working on it. Idea 3 - (its a secret) This will be my next one seen as though these type of RPGs are so popular. medievil type setting. has dragons. elements too. So watch out for that one. So what do you think? Reply with your comments on each of them and tell me if you would join it if I were to post it in Adventure Inn. Thanks! :love: [/COLOR]

Jalena stopped laughing as soon as Zeddrick left the room. " Awww...that's no fun." She pouted as if a spolit child had just been denied something she wanted. Standing up, Jalena arched her back. " Damn. I really wanted to have some fun," she said to herself. Jalena parked herself on the couch Zeddrick was just in. " What am I supposed to do now?" She tapped her fingers on her arm, thinking about what she could do. " I suppose I have to wait until tonight then..." Hours passed.... " So, you aren't going to run away anytime soon Luke," Jalena said to him. Luke sat silently on the end of Jalena's bed. Food and drink was on the table before him. There were no utensils for eating as Jalena knew that he would definitely try and use them to break his bonds. She undressed in front of him, ignoring his gaze, and dressed into the blood red dress she had bought earlier that day. It clung close to her body. Jalena arranged a silver necklace around her neck and laced her shoes around her ankle. She brushed her hair and arranged it in an elegant way. Now with everything on, she lifted up the side of the dress so she could strap on her thigh gun-holders. After that, she walked, her hips swaying side to side, over to Luke who couldn't keep his eyes off her. Jalena untied his bonds. " You stay in here. If I have found that you have escaped, you will be a dead man walking. Understand that." Jalena walked out, gaining a few years in age. Jalena tapped her foot on the marble floor of the foyer, waiting for everyone to arrive. She clicked her tongue impatiently. " Where are they?"

[CENTER][IMG]http://img4.imagetown.net/91797005.jpg[/IMG] [COLOR=DeepSkyBlue]" Quickly...go my children. Flee to the safety of Earth. Do not let your minds cast doubts about my command. Be safe my chosen ones. Do not forget who you are, what you are and what your destiny holds for you..."[/CENTER] Those were the last words of Queen Lillyana as the Chosen Angels of Heaven were sent to Earth because of a vicious war that has raged endless for centuries. It is between Lillyana, Queen of Angels, and the former, now evil, king of Angels, Orion. He was taken over by evil when he took advice from a servant known as Lucifer. The Chosen Angels are now disguised as high-school students who attend Kyoka High School. The angels live together in a dormitory called 'The Sanctuary'. Together, they fight off evil as Orion so often commands it to Earth to find them. But why are these angels so sort after by Orion? And why would Lillyana risk her life so save them? It is because they govern over two values such as truth, justice or friendship. The extend of their powers, when fully harnessed, surpass those of Lillyana and Orion, even to equal those of the first Immortal Angels. But the Chosen Angels are only young and have no idea of the power that lay inside of them. Eventually, these Chosen ones will form a council so powerful that they will rule over every and all planes of existence.[/COLOR] [COLOR=DarkOrchid]Hey everyone! How do you like my new RPG? I've been working on this one for a while. So lets get this party started!! We'll be playing as the Chosen Angels. Basically we'll be going to school, trying to live a normal teenage life (if its ever normal??), fighting the bad guys, fighting each other and having relationships with each other. You can have a boyfriend/girlfriend if you want. It can be another player's character or a non-player character. If anyone wants to play as a normal student, just do the sign-up without the angel stuff. If anyone wants to play Lillyana, Orion or Lucifer, Pm me and I'll give you your sign-up. Ok. Now here's the list of values you can choose from. People can have the same values but not the same combination and the maximum you can have is two. [list] [*]Truth [*]Beauty [*]Power [*]Faith [*]Justice [*]Courage [*]Love [*]Friendship [*]Intelligence [*]Kindness [*]Hope [*]Light [*]Sincerity [*]Innocence [*]Compassion [/list] Here's the sign-ups. Name: (preferrably Japanese) Age: (school age) Sex: Value/s: Earth Appearance: Angel Appearance: Weapon: (limit 1 and people can have the same weapon) My character Name: Sakura Murasaki Age: 16 Sex: Female Values: Courage and Friendship Earth Appearance: Angel appearance without the wings Angel Appearance: [URL=http://angelroms.com/anime/Anime%20Girls/Angel/Angel-00014.jpg]Sakura[/URL] Weapon: A katana with the Angelic Code engraved smoothly into the blade with a black and silver leather bound handle.

Name: Sakura Evangelia Age: 19 Gender: Female Appearance: Long silvery white hair with dark violet streaks. Tall and lean, a bit muscular. Has violet eyes, tanned skin and dark red lips. Dorm: West Bio: Personality: Sakura is much like a wildcat. Mysterious, catty, sly, sexy and most of all, powerful. She takes no crap from anyone and will lash out if anyone dares offend her.

[COLOR=DarkRed]Raven looked around. No other clues could been seen immediately. Suddenly, a thought struck her. She turned to the group. " Was Alexander here when this happened?" Lance and Masashi looked at each other. " Well, no, now you mentioned it. He left about 10 minutes before this happened," Masashi replied. " Why do you ask?" Terra enquired. " I dunno. Something doesn't feel right. We have no leads to go on whatsoever. Maybe its time...." Raven trailed off, looking out of the window. " Time for what?" Masashi asked. She turned to them, fire dancing in her eyes. " Time to unleash it." The group stared at each other. Raven made her way to the elevator. The group hurried after her. In a few minutes, they were downstairs, behind the building. All except Raven looked confused. " What are you trying to do?" Lance asked, stepping closer to her. Raven knelt down to the ground and drew the Craft circle. " Its time I showed you some of my mother's abilities." Raven stood up, looking down at the circle. Her eyes narrowed. A fire started in the centre of the circle. She started chanting in an unknown language. A figure arose from the flames in the shape of a bird. Opening her eyes, Raven looked the bird in the eyes. " Spirit of the flame, find our companion and lead us to her..." she said in a voice unlike her own. The bird wheeled up into the sky, unleashing a piercing cry. Lance stood there shocked. Terra stepped forward to Raven who was as still as stone. " Are you alright?" Terra asked her friend. " I'm fine..." The voice was cold and icy. " Follow that bird. He will take you to Spike." It appeared that the words came from Raven's mouth but didn't sound like her talking. Masashi looked deadly serious. " Terra, Lance, lets go. I think Raven has her own personal agenda for the moment." Lance joined Masashi at his side. Terra couldn't decide whether to stay with Raven or go with Masashi. " Go Terra. You need to find Spike before anything happens to her." " Alright." Terra walked slowly to join Lance and Masashi. They made their way to the front of the building. Raven turned around slowly, her eyes jet black. " Lets see what this meeting is about." She headed to her motorcycle, the sky darkening at her back. [/COLOR]

[COLOR=DarkOrchid]Hunter and Nemesis gated to the root town of Mac Anu. Nemesis strode along, unaware of the people staring and whispering about his partner. Hunter growled. " I'd wish they'd stop staring," she snarled. Nemesis laughed. " They're not used to seeing characters like yours Hunter. Give them a break." " Give them a break?!?!? How about they give me one!!" Nemesis chuckled to himself. Hunter drew closer to him, gripping his arm tightly, her ears twitching uneasily. " Are you afraid of them?" he asked. " No. I just don't like it when people stare at me. It makes me uneasy more than anything." They made their way to the centre of town. Nemesis sat down heavily on the bench while Hunter paced around, giving ice cold stares to anyone who stared at her. They waited....and waited. " So you beat an administrator?" a voice came from behind Nemesis. He jumped sky-high while Hunter whirled around to see who it was. It was the female heavy-blader (sorry if I got it wrong KittyChanann) who wore a red moon crescent just like theirs. " Ammilia! When will you ever stop doing that? You scared the c*** outta me!" Nemesis yelled. Ammilia just smiled. " It's funny when I scare you. Don't you agree....uh what's your name?" Ammilia started, turning to Hunter. Hunte eyed her suspiciously. She did wear a red moon pendant, but does that mean she could be trusted? " I'm Hunter...the edited character everyone has been talking about," Hunter said, adding the bit on the end as an afterthought. " Well, now you two have met, I'm waiting for a friend of mine who is very reliable with information. We're trying to find out the meaning of these necklaces."[/COLOR]

" How about this one my dear?" the elderly man suggested, holding up a black dress. Jalena looked around at it. " It would make me look like a gothic. Have you got something in red? Preferrably lace-up and a-line?" she replied, sitting on a stood in a designer's shop. Her mood had not improved since her encounter with Phelan, although shopping was a good thing to take her mind off it. The elderly man walked out of the dressing room and came back with a dress that was exactly what Jalena wanted. Her eyes lit up the moment she saw it. " That one will be perfect," she said as she stood up. The man folded it up neatly and placed it in a bag. Jalena handed over most of the Lira, took the bag with a thank-you and walked out of the store. The dress she had picked was a blood red colour which matched perfectly with the colour of her hair and the colour of her eyes. It was almost skin tight and would show off most of her feminine curves. Now, all she needed was a way to get back to the hotel. After catching a cab with the remainder of her money, Jalena arrived to her room when she heard people talking down the corridor. " You bought Armani suits?!?!" Tanya's voice drifted up the corridor. " Yeah, is that bad?" Zeddrick's voice replied. " They are just the most expensive suits you can get!" Tanya explained. A smack signalled she hit her forefead with her hand. Jalena started laughing. " I should have given them more information about Italy. Oh well." She unlocked her door and entered her room. Luke Noble was lying on her bed, fast asleep, still with his hands tied behind his back. Jalena left her dress inside the wardrobe and left. Making her way down to the gaming room, she thought about what Luke had told her in the last few hours. Not verbally but physically. He had said all she needed to know about who he was and what he did. Jalena jumped into a couch from the back and landed on something squashy and alive. " ARRRGHHH!" Jalena performed a one-handed flip to get off whoever it was. Zeddrick sat up and looked at Jalena. Snippets of laughter escaped Jalena's mouth. He did not look impressed.

Lance looked up. Raven was leaning against the door, smiling. He stopped singing immediately and blushed scarlet. " R...Raven, what are you doing here?" he asked, surprised at her sudden appearance. " Oh just listening to you sing," she replied, walking over to him. Lance looked up from his chair. This was a smile Lance had never seen before on Raven's face. Maybe that of Terra's or Masashi's but never Raven's. " You were listening to me? For how long?" " Long enough." Raven lent close to Lance's face, close enough that he could feel her breath caress his face. Suddenly, the smell of smoke snapped Lance out of his dream. He felt a searing heat on his shirt. Raven withdrew as Lance jumped up, took off his shirt and stamped out the fire. He turned to Raven who was at the door now. She was laughing hysterically. " You little...." Lance started. " You little what?" Raven enquired, teasing him. Lance growled. Raven laughed and exited the room. ______________________________ Some time later.... Raven stood in an abandoned underground tunnel. Candles lined both sides of her and some way down from her. She sighed, sounding bored. With one sweep of her head, all the candles were lit. " This is so boring...." A sudden beeping caught her attention. Raven took her mobile from out of her pocket, flipped it open and pressed it to her ear. " Yes?" " Raven, headquarters now." " Terra, what's wrong?" " Just, get here now." Raven flipped it shut and sprinted down the tunnel. In a few minutes, Raven was back at headquarters. Torn paper was everywhere. Cracks were in the concrete walls. Lance and Masashi stood near the window, inspecting the damage to the building. " What happened?" Raven asked Terra who had just walked over to her. " Spike was captured." " By who?" " We don't know." Raven scanned the floor. Something caught her interest. A bullet with inscriptions carved into it gleamed on the floor. Raven scooped it up and looked at it. Lance and Masashi joined her and Terra. Masashi looked at the bullet Raven was holding. " Witch hunting bullet....who would have these?" Raven looked up. A wild, uncontrolled look appeared in her eyes. " I don't know but we're going to find out. Hang on Spike, we're coming."

Jalena saw Phelan and Tanya enter the room. Her expression immediately softened as soon as she saw her favourite person, practically her brother. Phelan smiled at her. A warm feeling spread throughout he body. She felt so strong now, strong enough to look after her group she had become quite attached to. When everyone was seated, she started on the mission. She described the details of the mission, showing them the layout of the Pope's palace, giving each of them their jobs. Phelan and Zeddrick will break into the vault. Tanya, Lina and Leon will be the scouting team, looking for anyone who dares interfere. Magnum will be in his favourite position, sniper, on the roof of a neighbouring building. And herself? Well, her job will be watching over all of them, making sure none of them will be in any danger. After finishing the speel about the mission, Jalena's expression brightened. " We are expected back to headquarters in three days. We need to pace ourselves. Now, to get into the Pope's Palace and scout it, there is a gala ball there tomorrow evening. I expect everyone to get ready accordingly. Suits for the guys, formal dresses for the girls. From now until then, you need to gather your clothes and things." Jalena brought out wads of Lira, one for each of them. She handed them to everyone and smiled. " Now, go. And Phelan, I want you to stay behind." Phelan looked up at Jalena. The expression on her face didn't hide the feeling in her eyes. It was sadness and anger together in a lethal mix. After everyone left, Phelan stood up and confronted Jalena. He could see the anger in her eyes. In one sweep, Jalena slapped Phelan's cheek hard. The impact threw Phelan's face to the side. He held his hand up to his cheek. A red mark appeared where Jalena's hand connected with his face. " Never ever do that again," Jalena's icy voice hissed. " Do what?" " Go to the underworld without me." " I can do what I want Jalena." " ........I don't want to lose you Phelan." Phelan looked up at this comment. Tears trickled down Jalena's face even though the expression on it was as hard as stone. He went to hug her but she pushed him away and walked out of the room with her head held high. Phelan's arm hung limply by his sides " Why can you never show any emotion Jalena? Even when it is bursting to escape your soul." He shook his head and headed to his room with the wad of Lira in his hand. ____________________________ Guns held steady, Jalena moved around the man kneeling on the floor, blindfolded. " Who are you?" Jalena enquired icily. The man neither moved nor talked. He just knelt there, with his hands tied behind his back with plastic ties. Jalena pressed the guns' barrel against the man's head. She could feel him trembling in fear. " You could just tell me and I will talk to you civilally, with no weapons," Jalena said a little more kindly. A relieved sigh came from the man's mouth. " I am Luke Noble." Jalena put her guns back into their holsters and untied the blindfold. She helped Luke up from the floor and sat him in a chair. Luke could now see they were in a bedroom, Jalena's to be exact. Jalena sat down opposite him, her legs crossed in front of her. " Why were you hiding on ou plane Luke?" He didn't answer. " I have all day and night to wait for your answer. I will treat you civilally if you answer my questions." Luke looked away from Jalena's lifeless eyes. " I can't say." " So, you work for 'them'?" Jalena replied immediately. Luke jerked his head up to look eye-to-eye with Jalena. " How did you...." " I know more about you than you do me Luke."

A sudden scrapping of chairs caught both Hunter's and Nemesis's attention. Hunter's wolf ears perked up as she heard footsteps approach them. The pair stood up abruptly as a female heavy-blader confronted them. Hunter could see a smooth female face with a few battle scars and a ring through her bottom lip. An unsurpressable growl escaped her mouth. " So you're the edited character eveyrone has been talking about," the heavy-blader stated. " Yes. What's the problem?" Hunter replied coldly. Nemesis looked at Hunter. He was surprised at the tone Hunter talked to the Administrator in. But then, she probably didn't realise who it was. The heavy-blader smiled. " You must be a newbie because you don't realise who I am." " And what does that have to do with the price of eggs on Sunday?" Hunter replied sarcastically. Her eyes narrowed sharply. " I am Lenka, an administrator of 'The World'. I have instructions from my authorities to delete your character. But, I think you could become a great warrior in this game so I'll give you a choice. If you beat me in battle, you can play this game without any further obstruction. Do you agree?" Hunter looked Lenka up and down, assessing her abilities. Nemesis lent in close to Hunter. " Don't take her on. Administrators are extremely powerful. They have abilities that normal players don't have." Hunter looked her new friend straight in the eyes. " I do not wish to lose my character by surrending. I'd rather fight to keep it." She turned to Lenka. " I accept." " Good," Lenka started, smiling, " Lets go then." Three runic rings flew up from the ground and transported the trio to a dried up lake. Skeletons of fish lay still in the dried mud. Nemesis looked apprehensive. He was worried about Hunter's safety more than the deletion of her character. Lenka was renowned for being ruthless when it came to battles against other players. He readied himself to jump in if things got out of hand. Lenka suddeny unsheathed her heavy-blade and charged at Hunter. With more instinct than skill, Hunter backflipped out of the attack. The skills she had learned in the Real World were useful in this world after all. She landed a metre away from Lenka, who skidded to a halt. " you're good for a newbie, I'll give you that." Lenka charged again, much faster this time. Hunter only had time to drop the ground and roll to dodge the down-coming blade. A yelp came from Nemesis as the blade shaved the side of Hunter's leg. She quickly stood up only to see Lenka's blade flying upwards. Hunter flipped into the air and landed square on Lenka's blade, stopping it in mid-air. The expression on the administrator's face said it all. Hunter smiled. The red moon crescent pendant glowed a bright red. Three silver blades extended from the top of Hunter's knuckles, the longest touching Lenka's throat. " Are you defeated?" Hunter asked very wolf-like.

[COLOR=DarkOrchid]OOC: We are using server towns. I just used Sargon as the one we all meet in, that's all. Hunter walked through the town. Everyone was looking at her weirdly and whispered things to each other as soon as she past. The feeling of fear flitted across her mind for a second before she pressed it down. Looking around, she saw a tall warrior with a beard. Hunter had seen this man before, just seconds ago behind her. Now he was leaning against the wall to the right of her. Anger sparked for a second before she realised she might actually get some information from this man...since he was following her. " Excuse me," she said with a slightly firm tone to her voice, " Can you tell me where I am and why people are whispering about me?" " You are in the server town of Sargon. And people are talking about you because you look a bit like a wolf," he replied gruffly. " Is that bad?" " Well, it means that you have hacked into 'The World's' system and changed your character to resemble a wolf in some ways." " I did not! I've only just got here. When I logged in and put my visier on, I received this character." " Are you sure? You didn't do it on purpose?" " I don't even know how to hack..." Hunter replied before realised that this man has a crescent red moon pendant on a necklace around his neck. "...You have one too." The warrior smiled. " Yes. You have one as well. I saw it around your neck when you walked into town." " So you were following me..." " Only because you are an edited character." " That means looking like a wolf right?" " Yes." Hunter thought for a minute. " Is there no other character that looks like me?" " Nope. I should know. I've been here for long enough..." He looked Hunter up and down. " You're only a newbie. No wonder you don't understand. Well, I'm Nemesis." He held out his hand. Hunter took it gladly. " I'm Hunter." " So Hunter, I'd better warn you before we go. Administrators of 'The World' are probably going to be after you since your character is sort of illegal." " Really? Ok. Well I'm not going to be locked up. Lets go." " Right." Both of them walked into an inn, out of the public's view. [/COLOR] [IMG]http://otakuboards.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=20307[/IMG]

[COLOR=DarkRed]Raven's long black hair flew out behind her as she raced through the city streets on her motorcycle, weaving through the traffic at phenomenal speed and with no care for her life. She slowed down for a red traffic light. A black car pulled up beside her with Lance in it. He looked at her with a concerned look on his face. " What are you doing? You're riding your bike without a helmet again. What happened?" he asked kindly but firmly. " It's none of your business Lance," Raven spat in reply. A cross look spread over Lance's face. " Yes it is. You are riding without a helmet. If you die, what will I tell everyone, especially Terra?" This made Raven feel guilty. She knew Terra looked up to her like a sister would. The light changed to green. Raven didn't move. Lance searched her face. " So. Are you going to come back? Everyone is waiting for you," Lance said. " Alright." Raven swerved out in front of Lance and they both made their way back to headquarters. Lance and Raven walked in. Terra, Spike and Masashi sat talking to each other. The conversation abruptly stopped as soon as they saw Lance and Raven. Raven suspected it was about her and her parents but they could say what they wanted. All Raven wanted was to see her mother and father again and go back home to Italy and their manor. " So, why did you want us to stay here?" Masashi asked curiously. Raven sat down between Terra and Lance. " Something's wrong. Alexander is calling me to his house tonight. I suspect it is another meeting with the 'Factory' but I'm not sure. All of you be ready to receive an alert sent by me. The situation doesn't feel right." Spike snorted in disbelief. Raven shook her a cold stare, which was returned. " I think that's all the hunts we'll be going on today. So its paperwork and investigation from now until home."[/COLOR]

Jalena looked at Blake and Magnum as they sat down quietly. Her temper was getting near breaking point. Magnum always seemed to have that effect on her. She walked smoothly over to Phelan and sat down next to him. " I swear I'm going to kill that Magnum one day," she growled. Phelan smiled. The group grew tired and soon, all of them except Jalena was asleep. She laid her head on Phelan's shoulder. She looked over at Zeddrick and Blake who, inadvertently, slept with their heads touching at their sides. A snigger escaped from Jalena's mouth. Tanya, Lina and Leon slept on the three beds that changed from seats for the flight. Darkness soon followed. Jalena stood up, moving Phelan's arm from her lap. She walked to the cabin and looked at the pilot. " I'll take over for a while. You go and get some sleep." " Alright Miss Hunter," he replied as he moved out of his seat and gave the headset over to Jalena, who slipped in his seat. The pilot moved out of the cabin and went to his quarters. Jalena flicked some switches and pushed some buttons before taking the controls of the plane. 7 hours later.... The bump of the plane signalled their landing. Jalena had woken everyone up beforehand and told them to fasten their seatbelts. She had landed the plane with ease and done all the necessary things to make it safe. The city of Rome sprawled out in front of them. The morning sun poked its blazing head over one of the seven hills of Rome. AD-0 filed out of the plane, crossed the tarmac and went to their cars, four red Ferraris. Everyone managed to get themselves into a car and drive to their accomodation, Caesar's Palace. Soon they were in their rooms, preparing for the night of work ahead. Jalena walked out of her room and made her way down to the pool. Bored out of her brains, and with no one to talk to, she stripped off completely, dressed in her bathing suit and dived in the pool. The cool water caressed her skin. She swam to the side. " Leonardo, what are you trying to tell me?"

" Night watch out!" Ziarre yelled. She pushed him out of the way of the scythe and flipped out of the way. The scythe impaled itself into the ground. Thyrale tugged furiously at the handle, trying to get it free. Ziarre stood on her feet and looked around. She breathed a sigh of relief. Night was on his feet and was looking at Thyrale struggling to get his scythe free. Akuma and Maura had scattered to safety when Thyrale attacked. Ziarre held out her hands and flung a ball of lightning at Thyrale. It hit him square on the face. He stumbled back, holding his face. Maura summoned her dear Ranpu and together, they attacked him. Night walked over to Ziarre and looked into her eyes. " I'm glad you came." " It's ok." Night went to kiss her but she stepped forward, her eyes black. Thyrale wrenched his scythe out of the ground. He started swinging his scythe at Akuma, Maura and Ranpu. Ziarre growled and steered a bolt of lightning, from the clouds above, to Thyrale.

Thanks guys! They're all really good banners!!

They will bring a shining beacon of hope and light to a world blanketed in darkness."[/COLOR] [COLOR=DarkSlateBlue]A virus has been unleashed in 'The World', making the game almost impossible to play. This virus, unleashed by a character only known as 'The Hacker', strengthens low level monster to unimaginable levels. That is only one of its many effects. Stray AIs wander the server, crowding it so players don't know whether they are talking to a minion of 'The Hacker' or another player. This 'Hacker' has even eluded the administration of 'The World', knowing the ins-and-outs of the game better than the administrators. Now, the Legend of the Red Moon has appeared in the central town of Sargon. Everyone now knows the legend and waits for these five legendary warriors to arrive and save 'The World' from shutdown.[/COLOR] [CENTER]__________________________________________[/CENTER] [COLOR=DarkOrchid]Atalanta sat down heavily on her swivel chair. " Finally, the last day of university over for three whole months!" It was the end of the year and holidays for all university students. She had returned home and dumped all her belongings in her old room. The smell of sweet orange flowers drifted up from the orchard below. The tittering of small birds outside her window, reminded Atalanta of her childhood. Playing for hours in the Spanish sun. Running through the gardens, picking fruit out in the orchard, helping her Mamma in the kitchen. All was good. Atalanta leant back in her chair, grabbing her satchel from behind her. With one hand, she searched the contents of the bag until she pulled out a new computer game she bought to amuse herself over the long, long holidays. 'The World'. Apparently, it had received 'rave' reviews and most of her friends played it. Yawning, Atalanta pushed the CD into the drive and started installing it. " Hmmm...I hope this game live up to its expectations," she said to herself, " Bella said it was excellent. So did Antonio. Maybe I'll manage to meet up with them..." A beep caught her attention. It had finished installing and the program had started running. Name: Password: Atalanta thought for a minute, then started typing. Name: Hunter Password: ****** She put the visier on and was transported into 'The World. [B]'The World'[/B] Hunter appeared in a grassy field on the top of a hill. She looked at herself. She looked like a wolf. " Wow. This is cool!" Hunter began to walk. Something swinging around her neck caught her attention. A necklace with a pendant of a crescent red moon hung around her neck. " I wonder what this is for." She thought nothing of it and headed to the town of Sargon. OOC: Ok. Everyone should receive a necklace with the crescent red moon as this is the sign of the legendary warriors. [/COLOR]

Raven smiled at Lance?s retreating back. ? That boy?.I dunno.? Terra joined Raven by her side. ? Back to headquarters then?? she asked. ? Yeah. This has been very boring,? Raven replied. She really hoped she would test out her Craft to the maximum. She was sick of the witches she hunted after. They were weak and hardly stood a fight against her pyro-kinetic powers. Raven yawned. The group hoped in two black Mercedes and travelled back to headquarters. Half way up the elevator, Raven?s mobile rang. She flipped it open and pressed it to her ear. ? Yes?? ? Raven, I want to talk to you as soon as you get back,? Alexander?s voice echoed through the earpiece. ? We?re in the elevator now.? ? Good. It?s about your parents.? Raven?s eyes narrowed sharply, causing her to use her powers on the wall of the elevator. ? Raven!!? Terra yelled before putting it out with some water she formed in her hand. Terra sighed a breath of relief. Raven closed her phone and apologised to Terra. Her voice was shaky and cold, something very different to her normal warm, friendly voice. ? What?s the matter?? ? Parents?? was the only word that escaped her mouth. Terra immediately stopped questioning her. Any mention of Raven?s parents and she would turn nasty. The elevator stopped. The doors opened. Raven swiftly exited and made her way to Alexander?s office. Terra watched her walk away and sighed. ? So?Robin Sena was your mother?? Alexander asked in a very superior tone. Raven?s eyes narrowed again. ? Yes.? ? And your father?? ? Amon?? ? Interesting?? He played with his pen, twirling around his fingers. He looked up into Raven?s face. ? You look so much like your mother Raven,? he continued. Raven stood there, a feeling of anger seeped into her veins. ? And that has to do with my parents? whereabouts?? ? Nothing. I just wanted to make sure.? Anger sparked again. Raven turned to leave when a command was given to her. ? You will report to my house tonight at 7. Understand?? ? Yes,? Raven hissed her reply. Another meeting with the damned factory. She walked out of the room and to her desk. She looked at it, then at Terra. ? I?m going for a ride. I?ll be back in an hour. If the others come, don?t let them leave.?
