Redemption

Ziarre looked around at Maura. ? You?re going to have to fix that you know.? With that, Ziarre jumped off the balcony and landed on the ground. She walked into the forest, needing its wilderness to comfort her. Maura was pissed. ? First Night slams the door in my face then Ziarre wanders off alone. What the hell is going on here?? ? Night just came in and told me he loved me. Was that a joke? Did he really mean that? If he didn?t and was just messing around with my head, I would tear him limb from limb!? Ziarre whispered to herself. [I]Does he love me? If he didn?t, then why did he say that stuff? Could he really??[/I] She started running. The wind whistled in her hair as raindrops moistened her body. Mist clung low to the ground. Her shoulder blades ached again. Ever since she interfered in the battle between Night and Tylrian, her shoulder blades had ached whenever she thought of Night. It felt like growing pains but she had stopped growing a year ago. Finally, Ziarre stopped for a breather. Slowly, she drew breath in and released it. She stood there with her hands on her hips when a voice drifted to her. ? Hey you?..? Ziarre spun around to see who was talking. ? Who?s there?? ? You know who I am??? Ziarre kept looking around to see if someone was around her. ? I?m over here?.? Ziarre looked to her side and Night standing there. In actual life, Tylrian was standing there. He had a trance over her and that made her see Night. ? Oh Night, you scared me.? ? Ziarre, I need you to go get that gem shard for me. Quickly.? ? But didn?t you swallow it?? ? I did? Oh yes I remember. No. The other one. The one that is in my room. I can?t remember where I put it.? ? All right. Night, I just wanted to say that I love you.? Night (in reality, Tylrian) smiled. Ziarre turned and ran towards the mansion at full speed. ? So, Night is in love with this half-bred Ziarre. This will definitely make it interesting!? Meanwhile?. Night was punching the dummy he had slashed to bits when he heard something in his room. Stealthily, he made his way to his room and opened the door. Ziarre was pulling everything out of his drawers. She had already overturned his mattress. Obviously she was looking for something. He entered the room. ? Ziarre, what are you looking for?? Ziarre jumped backwards. She looked at Night. ? Oh s***, Tylrian.? She unravelled her whip and stood ready.

" Well, its time to go and see our headquarters," Jalena said and exited with Phelan by her side. ? I?d guess we?d better follow them,? Blake said, shrugging his shoulders. The others followed with mild interest. Once they all got outside, a black, stretch limousine was parked in front of them. Jalena turned to them. ? Everyone in.? She opened the door and the entire group except her clambered into the limo. The windows were tinted so darkly that the new members of AD-0 couldn?t see out. Jalena shut the door and climbed in the front with the driver. ? You know where to go. Step on it!? The limousine jolted forward as they headed to Zerverius?s headquarters. ? This is kinda weird,? Imi said, clutching Zeos?s arm. ? Imi, let go before you rip the whole arm off!? Zeos replied. She let go. The blood rushed back into his veins. ? Anyway, what isn?t weird in our profession?? ? Yup, you sure got that right. That girl, Jalena?did any of you manage to look into her eyes?? Blake said with his eyes closed and arms crossed on his chest. Everyone looked at him strangely. ? No, why?? Akima asked. ? Because, if you looked into her eyes, you saw no warmth whatsoever. She?s like a shell that was trained to kill and only kill,? Blake replied. ? That?s because she?s been trained to kill ever since she could remember. You know our superior. Well he?s called Mr. Zerverius, for short, Zerverius. Anyway, he?s her legal guardian. Ever since Jalena could remember, she?s been trained as an assassin. He?s the one who forced her to become like that. I thought I?d better tell you guys that before we got there,? Phelan explained. ? So, that?s all she knows?? Lina asked. ? Yup.? ? That?s kinda sad,? Tanya said. Leon and Hailey nodded in agreement. ? So, to lighten the mood a bit, let?s play some cards?? Zeddrick asked. Some of the group joined in while the others talked. After about half an hour, the limo began to slow down. Zeddrick looked up from shuffling the cards. ? We?re slowing down,? he said. Imi looked at him sarcastically. ? Well, aren?t you the smart one?? ? Gee thanks, I thought I?d never get a compliment coming from you Imi,? Zeddrick replied, just as venomously. Hailey, Lina and Tanya laughed. The door opened. ? Welcome to AD-0?s Headquarters,? Jalena?s voice came from outside. As they all filed out, a huge sandstone mansion loomed out of the darkness. Beside the mansion was an airport with three private jets, ready for take-off. Jalena took the lead as she showed the group into the house. ? This is AD-0?s headquarters. It has everything you will need. A room will be allocated to you if you wish not to return home on some nights. All rooms have a bathroom with a spa bath and a shower. There is a pool downstairs as well. If you wish to stay the night, you are expected to show for meal times in the dining halls. Dining times are 7am for breakfast, 12 noon for lunch and 6pm for dinner. The upper two levels of this four storey building is for work. Computers connected with the internet and government files are there when you need them. Weapons are also readily available for you, so is any equipment you may need for any mission. Mission briefing is in half an hour so be ready. You will meet Zerverius, our superior, then. For now, you can explore this mansion or ask me any questions about what we?ll do.? ooc: ok, I plan to divide the group into two for our first missions. I?ll show you the layout for when we?re on a mission later so we don?t confuse each other with whose on our mission.

OOC: omg!! All your posts are excellent! I'm going to have a hard time keeping up with you guys! Jalena waited until all the assassin she knew arrived. Imi and Zeos, the strangest assassin couple you'd meet. Blake the sushi chef. [I]If I was around knives all the time, I'd be too tempted to kill someone.[/I] Zeddrick the bartender. Hailey, Leon and Tanya were here too, all schoolmates of hers. And finally, Phelan. A school mate of hers that has accompanied her on a few of her easier missions. " Welcome fellow assassins. As you may have read in 'The Underground' today, there is a job offered to you," Jalena started, becoming her assassin side, " I am Jalena. I already work for the man who will employ you. If you accept, there will be missions cast all over the world for our team call AD-0 - Association of Death." " So you're our recruiter? That's stupid. You're just a kid," Zeos said. He grabbed Imi firmly by the arm and turned to leave. Jalena's eyes narrowed to bare slits. " Never turn your back on me Zeos," she whispered under her breath. Phelan looked at her. " Oh no....Zeos, Imi watch out!" Phelan warned them but it was too late. Jalena had run up behind them, flipped over the top of them and landed facing them, a dagger in each hand, pressing against their throats. " Now will you reconsider?" Jalena asked them. She put away her daggers so quickly that neither of them could follow her movements. She turned to the others. " If any of you wish to leave, do so now."

[CENTER][U]An Assassin's Life[/U] [/CENTER] A young, grey-suited man with sandy brown hair entered a gloomy, government office. A high backed leather chair swivelled around to reveal a man dressed in a pristine black suit. He was in his forties and had dark brown hair. ? We need to start another sector of our department,? the black suited man stated firmly. ? Sir?? the other man asked, a notepad hooked in his arm. ? There are certain cases that we can?t handle or are too dangerous to handle. They need to be dealt with accordingly. They need to be terminated. We haven?t got a sector that handles these types of cases so we?ll make one. But let?s do this under-the-table. We will be the only ones who will know about this Henry. Let?s call it AD-0 - Association of Death. Tell Jalena to start looking for a group of ones like her.? ? Yes sir, right away Mr Zerverius,? Henry said and rushed out of the gloomy office to do his superior?s bidding. ? So, this is the beginning of AD-0,? Zerverius said, looking out of the window. Jalena?s cell phone beeped loudly. She looked up from her desk. Her Languages teacher, Mr Mathews, stopped speaking in Spanish and looked at Jalena with a cross look on his face. ? Jalena, I assume that was your phone?? Jalena took her phone out of the pocket of her jacket and looked at the number the message showed. ? I?m sorry sir but it?s them.? She stood up and left the class. Everyone in her school knew about her job with the government but they didn?t know what she did or how she even got into the government. Once Jalena was in the corridor, she opened her flip phone and dialled Zerverius?s number. ? It?s me, what do you want? You promised me you wouldn?t call me during lessons,? Jalena spoke hotly into the phone. ? Hang on, don?t bite my head off!? a male voice replied defensively. ? Henry? Why isn?t Zerverius calling?? ? You know him. He said he was busy. Anyway, there have been some new developments. Zerverius wants you to get a group of people like you together to make a new sector here. It?s called AD-0 ? Association of Death.? Jalena?s emerald green eyes narrowed. ? Will that be all?? ? Yeah that?s it.? Jalena closed her phone. [I]How am I supposed to get together a group of people with my skills? The Underground![/I] She opened her phone again and said the name of the underworld?s only newspaper to her voice recognition phone book. It rang. ? Yeah Kate, its Jalena. I want to make an advertisement. You can do the usual layout and contact numbers. I want it to say something about a meeting for assassins who want a job. Good pay and travel. Meet at the inner-city club called ?Angel?s Warehouse?. Got that? Good. Thanks.? Jalena closed her phone. She smiled to herself. ? Time to party.? " If anyone asks about a meeting here Jacob, send them to the VIP area," Jalena said to the bartender inside 'Angel Warehouse'. " You got it J," Jacob replied, smiling antagonisingly at her. Jalena growled when she walked away. She hated being called J. Still in her school uniform, Jalena made her way to the second level of the club. It was one of the hottest in the city and the place for someone to find a worker of the underworld. She sat down in her usual blood red leather chair and crossed her legs, sipping her drink, waiting for the first poor soul to join up. OOC: hope you guys enjoy, and remember it doesn't have to be all work and no play ;)

In real life, Lucifer's Angel is my little sister, 2 yrs younger. No joke. She's new too. Lol. Funny huh? I had her proofread it and she liked it so she wanted to join. BTW, I'm starting it now. Be ready fellow members of AD-0.

Ziarre was quite angry with Tatsujin about asking her that question. Just because she felt angry at herself and guilty that she was the only one left standing in their last bout with a demon. She should have fought, not ran. Lightning crackled around her closed fist. She smelt a demon that had been following them for some time. A loud thud echoed through the forest around them. Ziarre moved her unclosed hand to her whip, lightning crackling around her other fist. Tatsujin unsheathed his katana and Zet held up her staff in defence. Suddenly a voice came from behind them. " Did you hear that too?" The three of them jumped around to see a man standing there. " Oh Mizukage, its only you," Zet said relieved. " Yes, you scared us," Tatsujin added smiling. Mizukage smiled innocently. " Sorry. Didn't mean to," he replied. Ziarre was confused. " Who are you?" Ziarre asked, sounding very confused and a little infuriated. " Sorry, this is Mizukage. He camped with us last night. You don't know him because you were asleep," Zet said. Mizukage just stared at her. Her temper was getting the better of her. " Stop looking at me!!" Lightning jumped from her fist and connected with the ground. " Ziarre settle down!" Tatsujin warned her. " You just shut up! You never think of anyone else but yourself!" Ziarre yelled at him angrily. She whistled and Zephyr came bounding out of the forest. She hopped on his back and sped off into the forest. " ZIARRE! IT'S NOT SAFE IN THERE!" Tatsujin yelled at her fading back. Mizukage stood there stunned, as did Zet. Tears welled up in Zet's eyes. " Ziarre...."

Looks like I'll have start this RPG tomorrow. If I get another person to join, I'll start it tomorrow!

" You are just so nice," Ziarre said sarcastically, " And such a gentlemen too." She leant in close. Night could almost feel her heartbeat. She smelled of the forest and womenly scent. Suddenly a cool sensation touched his lips for a second. He saw Ziarre pull away. Something was wrong. Night thought she would be smiling at their momentary kiss but she wasn't. She looked up at him. " I'm sorry, I overstepped the line," she said before sprinting down to the dinner hall, her hair and dress fluttering out behind her as she left. Night stood there in shock. The kiss. It was what he wanted, it was what she wanted, but why did she run off like that? [I]Because you have never told her face-to-face how you feel[/I], his mind said to him,[I] Maybe because you are still her superior?[/I] [I]But I would never force her to do something in this department! Would I?[/I] he answered back. Night made his way down to the dining hall, confused by his own thoughts. Night sat down at the top of the dining table. All the other hunters sat. His usual group of hunters he sat with, Akuma, Maura and Diana, were at his end of the table, talking happily to each other. One was missing. Down the length of the table, he could not see Ziarre anywhere. Usually she sat closest to him, trying to get him to add in the conversation, but tonight she wasn't because of the little incident that happened earlier. Night sighed heavily. He missed her company. " So, Night, are we going to have this party?" Maura asked happily. " Straight after we finish dinner. The other hall has been done up for it so it should be good." Maura jumped up and down happily. " I wish Ziarre was here, she would been having fun." Night looked at Maura. " Where is she?" " In her bedroom. She was really mean when I asked her if she wanted to come down to dinner. She practically bit my head off. All she had to do was say no." Night couldn't help but feel a little guilty. After all, it was the kiss that made her in a bad mood. He stood up. All the Hunters rised with him but he didn't notice. He made his way to Ziarre's bedroom and stopped at the door. " No, this is stupid. Why am I up here?" [I]Because you're going to tell Ziarre how you feel?[/I] his mind said to him. He gripped the door handles and opened it. He stepped into the room, closing the doors behind him. Ziarre was standing on her balcony, getting drenched by the pouring rain. She was in her hunting clothes. Night opened to doors to her balcony. Ziarre looked straight at him, her bright yellow eyes in a piercing stare. " What do you want?"

Elena's eyelids fluttered opened. The vague images of Kenmei and Zeos hovered above her. She turned her head to see Imi laying beside her and Lance propped up against a wall. She struggled to get up. " Elena, you're awake!" Kenmei said happily. Elena coughed violently, covering her mouth with her hand. When she uncovered her mouths, splatters of blood were on her palm. Zeos looked at it with a little concern on his face. He wiped it away with the bandage Elena made for him out of her jacket. She touched the burn on his face softly. " Are you ok now?" Elena asked him. He nodded in reply. She looked from Kenmei to Imi to Lance. Zeos was tending Imi's wounds. A fleeting feeling of jealousy passed through her body. " I'll go help Lance." Slowly, Elena made her way to him and looked at his injuries. A few minor cuts and bruises from what she could see. The pain in her side where Helldramon sunk his fangs into, was becoming almost unbearable. After about 15 minutes, Lance's eyes opened. He saw Elena tending to his wounds. She didn't look so good. But the only thing on his mind was... " Where's Imi?" he asked as he sat up straight. Elena smiled. " She's over there," Elena said weakly, nodding her head in the direction of her, " But she's still unconscious." Lance nodded and managed to join Zeos, Kenmei and Imi under his own steam, leaving Elena alone. Her hands were shaking uncontrollably. Now, she was terrified of Imi because of what happened. Her fear was great and she didn't want to go anywhere near her for a while, until the Imi she knew returned. Elena leant against the wall, she coughed violently. More blood. She quickly rubbed it on the ground so no one could see. She watched the others tend to Imi.

hevn, your background is similar but that's ok. i'll accept that. Wow. I didn't realise this would be so popular! YAY!! lol, I have a heap of others in the making too. 3 more ppl to go then we'll start!!

She has the usual worries of a high-school girl: grades, hormones, friends and boys. However she has one secret that could destroy everything she knows. Jalena is a natural-born assassin. She has been hired by the Government to do jobs that need ?termination?. Now she is looking for others like her. The reason: another World War is brewing. Her superior she only knows as Mr Zerverius, has missions for the new AD-0 all over the world, spoiling plots to overthrow governments, assassinate country leaders, kill innocent people and cause revolts. __________________________________________________________________ This is my first RPG so I hope it?s good. Ok. Here?s the sign-up form. It would be really good if most of your characters were school-aged because then our characters would be able to interact at school. I'm only going to take 10 people at the most - 9 spaces are left, I'm saving one for a friend. Name: Codename: Gender: Age: (15-30) Description: (Written or a picture will do fine) Personality: History: Profession: (This is the job your character does when they are not on a job for AD-0) Skills: (Marksmanship? Hand to hand combat? Martial arts? Deadly aim?) Specialty: (Does your character have a special way in which they kill? Are they a computer whiz? Are they a sniper? Etc. No magic) Here's my character Jalena. I love this character to death. [B]Name:[/B] Jalena Hunter [B]Codename:[/B] Hunter [B]Gender:[/B] Female [B]Age:[/B] 16 [B]Description:[/B] See attachment - school uniform [B]Weapons:[/B] TombRaider's guns (the movie) and the set of daggers she killed her first person with. [B]Personality:[/B] Jalena is a friendly person. She loves hanging out with her friends. Very intelligent, Jalena also loves to stir people and uses her intelligence to confuse them. When it comes to boys and love, she shuns it. However, secretly she wants someone to know her secret and still love her. This means she is very lonely and wouldn?t know how to act to a boy who shows her affection. Jalena is a very professional assassin. She is a merciless killer and murders who Zerverius instructs her too. She?s usually a lone assassin and likes it that way, so working in a group would be a different experience. [B]History:[/B] Jalena grew up in Zerverius?s care even though she is not a relation of his. She loves him unconditionally but also loathes his very being. She has no idea of who her parents are, where they are or why they left her in Zerverius?s care. Zerverius himself paid for Jalena?s schooling on one condition, she would work for him as an assassin. This caused Jalena to have two aspects of her personality: the teenage girl and the assassin. Since she could remember, Zerverius trained her as an assassin and discovered that she was a natural-born killer with abilities Zerverius had never seen before. Her first job was a disaster. She had been captured by the person she was supposed to kill and was tortured by him. From then on, Jalena hated Zerverius. Her anger rose and when the man came back in for another session of torture, she killed him with a set of daggers she had. Profession: Student [B]Skills:[/B] Fluid body motion, flexible, deadly aim with both gun and daggers, kills mercilessly [B]Specialty:[/B] Natural born killer, like Kirika from Noir Have fun! [/FONT]

A black snake slithered out of the dust. It had bright purple eyes and 12 inch fangs. Elena stood ready. " Prepare to die human," the Pupper Master's voice boomed out. " You first," Elena said and charged. She leapt up into the air and brought the whip cracking down on Helldramon. It caught the whip with its tail and threw Elena against the stone walls hard. Her head smacked against it, dazing her. " One shot and she's gone. Helldramon, grab the orb," the Puppet Master said. " Yessssss masssster." It slithered towards Elena. She could see its hypnotising movements as it slithered towards her. Struggling to her feet, Elena clutched the orb closely. " Just admit you are defeated," the Puppet Master taunted. " Never, not when my friends' lives also hang in the balance. I would fight to my death to keep them breathing!" She cracked her whip in defence, keeping Helldramon at bay for the moment. " Then YOU WILL DIE!" Helldramon lunged at Elena, who was still dazed, and sunk its fangs into her side. She withheld a scream of pain. Helldramon recoiled and went to lunge again only to hit a stone wall. Elena had managed to duck and crawl to the other side of the room, the orb still in her hand. Her whip returned to its Digivice state. Elena's breathing was heavy. Darkness started to cloud her vision. " No....must....stay.....awake." " Ah she's talking to herself. Isn't that cute? Oh well, Helldramon finish her off!" Images of her friends drifted across her mind's eye: Imi kissing Lance, Darien's famous one-liner of 'wild monkey sex', Kenmei talking to her, Takuto and Reis laughing their heads off at the campfire and her burying herself into Zeos's chest. They were her friends, her family. She would fight to the end to protect them. This wasn't the end, this was merely the beginning. The beginning of their quest to stop the Puppet Master, no matter what. He was going to turn this beautiful world into something monstorous, something always blanketed by a cloud of darkness. NO! That was not going to happen! Light always defeats the darkness, no matter the consequences. Elena stood up, her eyes looking down on the ground. She held out her hands. The orb floated about 2 inchs above them. Elena looked up. Fire burned inside her eyes and inside her heart. Helldramon stopped his advance. " You are wrong Puppet Master. This is not my day to die!" The orb turned into a revolving ball of data with the symbol of light in the centre of it. " HELLDRAMON, GRAB THE ORB!" Helldramon lunged at Elena. She smiled. " Not likely. DOWNLOAD!" The data swirled around and then entered her Digivice she now held with both hands. " CREST WEAPON ACTIVATE!" The Digivice separated into two and formed into two whips. On the handles, the symbol of light was burnt into the leather. Elena felt revitalised. She saw Helldramon launch itself at her and dodged it. Helldramon crashed into the wall. It got up dazed. " Now Puppet Master, say goodbye to your minion. SCYTHES OF LIGHT!" She cracked both whips and two boomerangs of light raced at the dazed Helldramon. They cut the side of the Digimon and slowly, it turned into data and flew off. The whips combined into one and turned back into her Digivice. Slowly, Elena made her way back out to the foyer. She walked to Zeos's door which was cracked open. She climbed through it to see Zeos on the floor, his right cheek slightly burned and his arm bleed profusely. Elena stumbled over to him, the pain in her sides almost unbearable. She checked his arm. She tore off a piece of her jacket and wrapped it around Zeos's wounded arm. Then she touched his burnt cheek. The skin was still hot and starting to blister already. Elena closed her eyes. " One last go..." Her hand glowed white and healed most of Zeos's burn. However, healing him to away the last bit of energy she had. Elena looked at his face and smiled. " I wish you feel the same way about me as I feel about you Zeos......" She collapsed out of exhaustion, landing on his chest. OOC: Awww ain't this romantic?? lol she's almost obsessed with him but that's what happens when you're in love

Maura raced back to Ziarre's room. She opened the door to find Ziarre standing at the open window, looking out. The soft breeze made strands of her black hair fly out behind her. Maura walked up to her. Ziarre was dressed in a pure white summer dress. She liked to feel like an innocent in the daytime - only thing that kept her sane. " Ziarre?" Ziarre turned around. " Has he woken up?" " Yeah, finally. Boy he had us worried. When he comes out, I'm gonna......" Maura started, getting frustrated. " You're gonna do what?" Ziarre asked, leaning down to Maura and smiled sarcastically. Maura burst out laughing. " I'm gonna kick his ass then hug him, or the other way around?" Ziarre laughed. " You do that. I'd pay money to see you kick Night's ass!" Maura frowned in disapproval. " Don't you think I could do it." " Oh you could do it. It depends whether Night wants you to hug him or have his ass kicked first." " Shut up!" Maura replied sarcastically. She gave Ziarre a playful shove. " Come on squirt, we'll see what Mr. Night is doing," Ziarre said playfully, walking to the door. Maura spun around. " Who you calling squirt?" " You." Ziarre poked her tongue out at Maura and sprinted down the hallway, laughing. " YOU'RE GONNA GET IT ZIARRE!" Maura yelled and took off after Ziarre. Night heard laughing, running and yelling outside his door. Selino walked to the door to open it when it slammed open. Ziarre raced in, looking behind her. Night was mesmerised for a second but soon came back to reality when Ziarre hid behind him. Selino was about to close the door when Maura raced in. " You are so dead Ziarre!" Maura said, creating a water ball in her hands. Ziarre looked from behind Night and sarcastically pretended to faint with fright. Selino chuckled to himself at their melodramatics. " What is going on?" Night asked, really confused. " Ziarre called me squirt! I hate that!" Maura said frustrated, ready to throw the water ball. Ziarre laughed. Night looked at Ziarre. She was so innocent and playful when it was daytime. He chuckled to himself softly. " You really like to stir don't you?" Night asked Ziarre. She smiled up at him. " Yup." OOC: something a bit lighter. thought it would be good to have something a little normal for once ;)

-REVOLUTIONARY- Name: Atalanta AKA Hunter Age: 19 Gender: Female Appearance: Shoulder length pure white hair with purple streaks. Hunter has violet eyes and tanned skin with a flawless complexion. She is about 5' 7", her body lean but a little muscular. Hunter walks straight and tall. [URL=http://www.angelfire.com/anime3/noir/images/characters/cloe2.jpg]Clothing - without the arms guards and with a white cloak[/URL] Weapons: 2 H&K P8s and a set of throwing daggers [URL=http://www.ejmailorder.co.uk/airguns/pics/tomb-raider-gun.jpg]Click here to have a look at the gun[/URL] Skills: Assassin like skills. Flexibility to do flips, etc; fluid body motion (helps with dodging things); awareness of what's happening around her; accurate marksmanship (almost never misses the target); ability to go undercover or sneak in. Personality: Hunter has two sides. The assassin and the innocent. She's usually in her innocent mood. When Hunter's 'innocent', she is cool, calm and collected. No one would ever suspect that she is trained as an assassin. Then there's the assassin. To put it simply, a merciless killer. She only kills when necessary, however her temper sometimes gets the better of her (rarely but it does happen). Bio: Hunter was born with her family on the outskirts of a remote desert town. One day when she was 7, a ship fell out of the sky and annihilated her house. Inside where her family, parents and two brothers. Their screams were imprinted in her memory forever. Hunter walked to the town and lived off the streets. From then on, Hunter wandered and learnt the skills for being an assassin. After 12 years, her skills had become almost perfect. Almost.

Poking and prodding awoke Ziarre. Her eyelids fluttered open. She could make out Selino's figure beside her. " Night......." she whispered. Selino looked at her with almost tear filled eyes. " Master Night has left. He's gone my dear." " Night....has....gone?.....He....left.....us?" Selino nodded his head. A sharp zap made him leap to his feet. Lightning jumped from Ziarre's body. She struggled to sit up, coughing so violently that she cracked her head on a tap. Blood trickled down her forehead. She made no effort to stem the flow. Ziarre just sat there, blood dribbling from her not yet tended wounds. She went to stand up but Selino forced her back down. " ZIARRE! Now you must stay here like Night said you had to!" Selino said, starting to get really infuriated. Ziarre looked up at Selino. He stumbled backwards out of shock. Ziarre looked like a zombie, the walking dead. She stood up and staggered out the doorway, leaving splatters of blood wherever she went. " Must....get....to.....Night....." Selino stood in the bathroom, still frozen in shock. [I]Ziarre looked exactly like Cassandra. And sounded like her too! Cassandra would sacrifice herself for Night, just like..............NO![/I] Selino rushed down to Akuma, Diana and Maura at top speed. Meanwhile....... Night blocked Tylrian's attack. They had been fighting furiously for the past hour and now, Night was starting to make mistakes. He swung his sword at Tylrian only to see him dodge it quickly and attack. He nicked Night's non-sword arm, leaving a great gash in it. Suddenly dark clouds conjured themselves out of nowhere and began to clutter the sky. Rain started pelting down so hard they could barely see the buildings around them. They both stopped and looked around confused. Night stared at the clouds. [I]Could this be Ziarre's doing? But she can only do that if she near us.....OH SHIT![/I] Tylrian watched Night's expression on his face with some amusement. " What's this? Rain for Night to escape under?" Night ignored him and looked around. Finally he saw what he was looking for. A slumped figure leant against a steel pole that was once part of the warehouse. Tylrian noticed what Night was looking at. " What's that I spy with my little eye?" Tylrian quickly ran over to the slumped figure. " You touch her and you will die in an instant!" Night growled. Thunder boomed overhead. Tylrian smiled and picked up the figure by its throat. " So its a girl?" Tylrian smelt her. " Young, fresh, and most of all, pure. Oooo. What a lovely play thing I have now. I doubt that you would attack me with her with me. Unless of course, she doesn't mean anything to you." Tylrian started crushing her throat. Lightning struck the metal pole the figure was slumped against. " No! Ziarre!" " Ziarre is it? Well, Ziarre my pretty, you are mine now. My slave." He licked the side of her face. Night's anger was at boiling point. " Soon, her purity will be no more. Once I take her to Thyrale of course. Doesn't this seem oddly familiar?" " You bastard. You or Thyrale lay on finger on her in that sort of way and I swear that both she and I will tear you, limb from limb." Suddenly, a soft chanting started. Night heard it over the booms of thunder and the pelting of the rain. He looked towards Ziarre. Her mouth was the only part of her body moving. A great, thunderous roar came from the sky. Tylrian and Night looked up. Then everything went completely black.

Elena stepped towards her door uncertainly. All the others went in with confidence, why can't I? Because I'm scared of failing again. Zeos's words of encouragement flowed through her mind. She felt stronger, more confident. As long as I don't lose Zeos or any of the others, I'll be alright. Elena stood up straight, ready to face her trial. The door opened. Elena stepped in. In front of her was a very old stone altar with an orb on top of it. The orb glowed a soft pink. The symbol of light revolved around in the centre of it. Elena was entranced by the orb. Slowly, she reached out and touched it. It felt cool but oddly warm. Moving it off the altar, Elena held it near her chest, almost cradling it like a baby. Suddenly the altar collapsed and a Digimon appeared out of the dust. Elena was coughing hard, her eyes watering. " This is just one of my many minions sent here to destroy you and your friends. Say hello to Helldramon!" the Puppet Master's sick voice echoed through the room. Elena clutched the orb tightly in one hand and grabbed her Digivice with the other. She hesitated for a second. What if I can't change this thing into my whip? No, don't think like that. The others need you, you have no time to doubt yourself!! " CREST WEAPON ACTIVATE!" A sharp crack spilt the air. The sound was music to Elena's ears. She stood there ready and waiting, like a real warrior.

OOC: sorry i haven't been posting. just trying to work out how .hack works. got the manga yesterday Hunter and Star walked through the town nearest to the field they met in. They walked around for a while, gathering information about the world. Both of them made a heap of new friends but always remained as a duo. Finally they came to a fountain and sat on the edge of it. Hunter massaged her feet. " Ooo. Even in virtual reality, my feet still hurt from walking," she complained. Star laughed. " Yeah, it's pretty amazing isn't it?" " That's for sure." Star leant on her blade and Hunter leant on her staff. " So what do you plan to do here Star?" Hunter asked her. " Well...Go on adventures, that sorta stuff." " Cool. I want to become strong so going on adventures is a good way to increase my experience points." " Well look who's become quite the expert since she got here." Hunter poked her tongue out at Star. " Hey have you heard that the Cherry Blossom Festival is on?" a twin blade near them said to a heavyblade. Hunter looked at the two talking and overheard the words they had to say to get into the festival. She turned to Star who looked quite bored. " Want to go to a festival?" Star looked at her. " Sure, why not. Better than sitting around here doing nothing." They both got up and warped to the field they needed to go to in order to get to the festival. Hunter said the words and they were in. Soft pink petals slowly descended to the ground all around them. " Wow. This is really cool," Hunter said, catching one of the petals. " Hey isn't that Kite?" Star said, looking at two people talking a little way away. " Yeah I think so. Lets go say hi!" Both of them walked over to Kite and a stranger. " Hey Kite, how's it doing?" Star greeted him. Kite turned around. " Oh hey Star, Hunter." " Who's this your talking to?" Hunter asked. " Oh this is Raven. The wavemaster is Hunter and the heavyblade is Star." " Nice to meet you guys," Raven said, shaking both of their hands. " So, where's Sara?" Star asked Kite.

Ziarre awoke to the dawn light creeping over the trees. She sat up and rubbed her eyes. " Good morning." " Morning Tatsujin. Sorry for falling asleep on your shoulder last night. I was really tired," Ziarre explained. He smiled. " That's alright." Ziarre looked around. " Where's Zet?" " She's gone off to find something for us to eat before we head off." " Oh." She yawned. Tatsujin looked at the ground. " Can I ask you a question Ziarre?" Ziarre looked up, her eyes narrowed suspiciously. " Depends on what sort of question it is Tatsujin." " Well..." Tatsujin started, "...Yesterday, when I asked you what was wrong...." " Don't look into it Tatsujin," Ziarre snapped defensively as she stood up quickly. Tatsujin looked at the ground again. Ziarre climbed up into a tree and sat against the trunk, letting the warm sunlight bathe her face.

Ziarre sat with Tatsujin around the fire. It crackled happily. Ziarre's eyes kept closing and her head kept bumping against his shoulder. " Tired?" Tatsujin asked. Ziarre yawned. " Very." " Go to sleep then. I'm sure Zet will be back soon." Ziarre laid her head on Tatsujin's shoulder and fell asleep. A few minutes later and Zet returned, accompanied by a man. " Tatsujin, this is Mizukage," Zet said with Aisu atop her head. She turned to Tatsujin. She noticed Ziarre had fallen asleep on his shoulder. " That's Tatsujin and Ziarre is the one asleep."

"Ziarre! Im sorry!" She looked up, where Night was falling with his blade. His eyes were glowing. The blade pierced her shoulder deeply. Night's wounds had finally caught up, and he fell unconscious in her arms. The blade dropped to the ground. Ziarre stared at the limp form, Night's blood running over her claws. [I]His life is in your hands, Ziarre. Fight your blood![/I] The wildcat looked aound for the voice. Night was breathing slowly, his heartbeat slowly weakening.[/QUOTE] A silver tear formed in Ziarre's eye as she transformed back. She knelt there, holding Night in her arms. The tear splashed onto Night's face. Akuma and Diana stood there speechless. Their leader, the strongest of them, was about to die in her arms. Akuma and Diana watched as Ziarre struggled to her feet with Night in her arms. " How can she pick him up?" Diana asked in wonder. " She probably still has her wildcat strength," Akuma replied as Ziarre made her way into the mansion. She left a trail of her blood and Night's blood behind her as she walked. ------------------------------------- Ziarre kicked open the door to Night's bedroom and laid him on the bed. She sat on the bed next to him and placed one hand over his heart, the other over hers. Night started to mumble but Ziarre shushed him. Suddenly Ziarre's hands glowed pure white as their heartbeats synchronised. A healing energy past from Ziarre's body to Night's. His wounds closed as her's opened further. Night's eyes opened. His vision was blurry but he could make out Ziarre's brilliant white hand on his chest. He felt better as his wounds completely closed. He could hear their heartbeats but this time they weren't in synch with each other. Ziarre's was getting slower while his was getting back to normal. He tried to sit up when Ziarre's warning came to him. " Don't move. It's almost over." Finally, the glow on Ziarre's hands faded. Night's vision became clear. He saw Ziarre staggering to his bathroom door. He heard a thump as Ziarre collapsed into the bathtub. He willed his body to move and slowly made his way to the doorway. Ziarre was in the bathtub, blood running down the drain. " So that's why she's in here. She doesn't want to make a mess for Selino. Even on the brink of death she still worries about others." Night crouched down next to her. " What am I supposed to do?" Meanwhile.... Akuma and Diana made their way to Maura's room with Selino ready to bandage both Ranpu and Maura up. " Do you think Night and Ziarre will be ok?" Diana asked. " Hmmmmm.....I hope so. For the world and our sake," Akuma replied. They headed into Maura's room.

Elena looked at the group, particularly at Zeos. They had said nothing to each other since she told him how she felt about being in this world. Anger rose up in her throat. [I]How could I do that to him? He already has enough problems on his plate.[/I] She looked towards Darien. She wasn't quite sure about him. Especially after he said Zeos and Imi would end up having 'wild monkey sex'. However, she did breathe easier when Zeos said he was not interested in her. They all were waiting for Imi. " I wonder where she's gone?" Takuto asked the air. " I don't know but I hope she hasn't got into any trouble," Lance replied worriedly. Elena stood up. " I'll go look for her." Zeos looked up from the ground. " Are you sure? You'll be ok?" Elena smiled. " I think I will." She turned and went off in the same direction Imi went.

Tears splashed onto the ground. [I]I want to help them. I want to help this world. But I can't even do that! I do even have enough power to change this thing at will![/I] Elena looked at her Digivice. She heard Zeos' words of encouragement but this made her more angry at herself. Zeos looked at Elena with worry on his face. Suddenly Elena spun around and buried herself in Zeos's chest, sobbing uncontrollably. " What the?" " Please help me Zeos. I feel so helpless here. So useless. I feel like I'm more of a hinderence than help. I feel like the darkness is trying to take me..." The flood of tears expressed how worried she was, how badly she felt. She doubted the others felt like this and this made her more depressed. Another heartfelt plea came Zeos' way. " Zeos....please help me...."

Ziarre looked up at Maura. She flung off Ranpu who landed at the side of Maura. She got up slowly, reopening old wounds, mental and physical. [B]Everyone is against me! Even Night. I thought these people were my friends....they're my family! And now they have turned against me! UNFORGIVABLE![/B] Ziarre launched herself at Ranpu and tore big shreds out of his side. With Ranpu weakened, she turned to Maura. Ziarre leapt onto Maura, slamming her back against the ground, fangs poised for the kill.
