*laughs gleefully* yes! that girl's power is incredible. *tunes in his nose and sees the moleman, merle and amano.* perfect! i can snatch that boy, then that creature beside him. *projects himself in front of amano and grabs him.*
~~got ya~~
*eyes glitter menancingly* VAN! *snarls and looks around.* green light? what green light? *hears dallet. looks down and sees the statue. fires his liquid metal at it, obliverating the statue. screeches into his comm* VAN! WHERE ARE YOU???
~~looking for Van~~
Hai Dilandau-sama! *puts his guymelf into stealth mode and follows dilly-boy. looks around. notices that the statue that they were just by is moving around.* what?? *snaps on his comm.* Dilandau-sama! that...that statue! it's moving?
~~what shall we do?~~
*notices Shesta looking down at her. manages a weak smile, as much as a bird can smile.* oh dear. pencha! what did that dream mean?
~~worried~~
*smiles weakly at her sister.* ooooooo, my head is throbbing. *looks confused* Eriya, what happened? where are we?
~~confuzzled~~
Sees the dragon slayers coming out of the green light. Orders his knights to open fire. Looks about for Prince Chid. Asks one of his knights. Orders that two of them guard the prince. Draws his sword.
~~preparing for a fight~~
Flies into the light. Shields his eyes from the brightness. Waits for his eyes to adjust. Notices that they are near Freid's castle. Snaps on his comm. "Dragon Slayers! Go into stealth mode, QUICKLY!"
~~yikes!~~
*looks at Gaddes* Drat! why would the dragon slayers attack freid? *notices the other knights. goes over to them* what are you looking for? you DO realize that freid is under attack? we must protect freid!
~~distracting the knights away from amano~~
*looks at Amano.* dornkirk is an evil old man bent on ruling all of Gaea. but, he's crazy! he rules Zaibach and therefore Folken, Van-sama's older brother. dornkirk is who made folken go crazy and burn down his entire kingdom! *sighs* poor Lord Van.
~~gabbing away~~
*gives the moleman and Merle a weak smile* Sorry.... *kneels down to their level, whispering* I... I'm just upset. That old man Dornkirk... can you tell me anything about him? Why did he take Hitomi and Yukari away? I know it's got something to do with the fact that we aren't from this world, but what could he possibly want from them??
~~wants some answers~~
Ah... Was it actually that feather...? Ah, that's nuts. I don't know where they are, boss. *goes over to the radar quickly* WOAH! What's THAT? *is picking up guymelefs and a bizzare signal* There's somethin... I gotta see what that is. *goes out on deck for a moment and sees the green light* Uhh... *yells at one of the men and gets a scrambled report of what's been happening* Boss! *goes back down to Allen* Boss, there's a weird light over the castle in Freid, and there are Dragonslayers coming out of it. Those two on board must've had somethin to do with that... But King Aston has brought a lot of people with him to fight... so I guess it's not that bad a situation.
~~geez...~~
*for some reason, hears Dilandau on the comm* Ehhhh?? I... Hitomi, we'll help your friend. Where is she? *turns his comm into Dilandau's* HEY! Dilandau!! If he's still on the Mystic moon, there's no telling what he'll do. I'll be waiting to fight you back on Gaea!! SO GO TO GAEA! I won't fight you where you are! So go into the green light! God, I hope he listens... I never thought I would be calling HIM towards me... He's gotta be close if I can hear him on the comm...
~~Yeah I'll do what I can, Hitomi!!!~~
*nods her head at Folken and watches them fly into the light* Naria...*looks down at her and sees her eyes are opened* Sister! *gives her a gentle hug* Sister, are you ok? What is wrong?
~~glad you are awake!~~
*sighs* Wish? What in the world is he talking about? *flicks his comm to Miguel and Dallet* Hey guys! Great to see you back, but what happened in that green light? Anything? *glances at Varie and notices she is awake* Perhaps that light did something to her... *flies behind Dilandau* And how are we getting home? Well I'm sure Dilandau-sama knows...
~~happy that Varie is better~~
What's he smiling about? He's so strange. *follows him and sits down* Oh well..I hope Allen is ok... *sighs and stares out the window* Hmmm...it's getting dark. Odd..I didn't notice how much of the day had passed.
~~thinking~~
Ok! That's all I needed to hear! Though I would like to hit Escaflowne on the way out...oh well. *flies right behind Folken's guymelef* Gah! Everything is so bright...*closes his eyes and opens them again* Aha! *sees Gatti's guymelef and flies to it* I've made it back!
~~whooo hooo! Home again!~~
*gulps and stares as the guards run frantically about* Why is Freid under attack? We haven't done anything... *sits down on the floor and hugs his knees to his chest* Oh father...why is this happening? I wish I was home with you...
~~depressed again...~~
*is stunned at the images projected* What?? How can Dilandau be in the same place as Celana? What does the black feathers mean? What about that boy from the mystic moon and those dragon slayers? Hmmmmm, *thinks for a moment* I must grab that boy too! *tunes in his NOSE* What??? Was that Naria?? *shakes his head.* I must be overworked.
~~seeing things~~
*hops into his guymelf and powers up. turns on his comm* Dragon slayers! Into stealth mode! We shall find our way back to Ziabach! Atlantis is a JOKE!!! There are NO wishes here! Let's go home!
~~in a foul mood~~
*sees a young girl strapped down to a table.* what? *sees scientists bending over the girl, poking and probing the girl with needles.* am i back in Ziabach? how can this be? *realizes that the girl is in pain. hears manical laughter. suddenly finds herself in the same room with Dornkirk. heart races with fear. hears the old man laughing. hears a familiar voice. opens eyes and sees Eriya.*
~~also rattled~~
*stares in disbelief at the empty room. turns to Gaddes* What? What happened to them? They were just here! *hears the knights approaching. notices the excited voices over the comm. listens. looks at Gaddes.* Freid is under attack!!! It must the be dragon slayers!!!! To arms!!!!
~~races towards his guymelf~~
*remembers things in a dream..things from long ago. sees a handsome young draconian, one that is barely a man. runs to him and throws her arms around his neck. feels his warmth as he kisses her lips. she knows this draconian. it is pencha, the man-boy is will soon marry. the dream changes. sees a battle. a battle between pencha and men! lots of men! watches horrified as pencha fall, his life blood pours out of him...sees fog...knows that years has past...many years...finds herself wading in a river...hears voices...sees a man...knows this man...he use to be the king of fanelia...eyes opened. looks and sees Shesta.*
~~rattled~~
Hears Gatti. Sees the two catwomen's guymelfs flying through the light under Escaflowne with Folken flying right behind. this is werid! Snaps on his comm. "Dragon Slayers!!! Go into the light! GO QUICKLY!!!"
~~flying into the light~~
*stares for a brief moment and then quickly hops into his guymelf. powers it up.*
~~awaiting orders~~
*gives Amano a look.* what was that all about? *huddles closer to moleman.* oh Lord Van! where are YOU?
~~wishing van were here~~
Hears Prince Chid's shouts. "Eh?" Turns around and sees a brillant green light over the castle. "What is this??" I bet those three have something to do with that light! Looks at his men. "SOUND THE ALARM!!! FREID is under attack!"
~~going into battle~~
*appears on top of a castle roof* Ehhh? *looks around for a moment, still in the green light* Is this.. *thinks for a moment* Freid! *turns around and sees the Crusade, and the two cat women's guymelefs* Er.... *shakes his head and turns on the comm* HEY! Can you guys hear me? It worked!!GO TO THE LIIIIIGHT!!!
~~being weird~~
Right, little missy!! *goes into the gear room to find Amano yelling at the ceiling* Ah! SHUT UP! The king's men may hear you! *closes the door behind them* Don't worry... we'll stay here until Allen or one of the Crusade's people come along. Okay? *smiles at Merle* Don't worry!!
~~trying to optomistic!~~
*flips open part of the guymelef and holds the hand up close to his face* Naria.. I don't know what's wrong. But we HAVE to get back to Gaea so she can be treated. *gives them a weak smile* Don't worry. I wouldn't let anything happen to you. *sees their guymelefs go flying away quickly* .... and I don't think we need to worry about your melefs. What the heck? *flies towards the green light, and flips down the melef* Well, I'll take a chance if it'll save Naria. *Flies into the light below Escaflowne*
~~Really quite worried~~
*shrieks as the scientists attach things to her* NOOOOO!! *eyes go pale and her voice goes silent* What... what am I seeing? What is this? *sees images crystal clear that are projected into Dornkirk's NOSE* Hitomi-chan... *sees Hitomi standing in the midst of blackness, holding her pendant. White feathers drift in and a white shilloette(sp?) of a dragon flashes in the background. Several Dragonslayers appear in a semi-circle, Dilandau appears next to a young girl. Two draconians and black feathers appear for a moment, fading away. Blood flashes for a moment, and Amano appears with a sword, standing before Grava.* Wh... who are these people? Hitomi-chan... Amano-senpai... *knees buckle, and everything fades into blackness*
~~what was THAT about?~~
I've...I've seen that light before! On the Crusade..back when we were getting attacked by the doppelgangers! *stares at it and notices an object appears out of it and fades into the landscape* What was that?? *sees two melefs come out of it and watches them fall on the ground* It's an attack! On my castle! I gotta, tell grandfather! *rushes out of the room and runs into the guards* OH, you need to let me speak with grandfather! My castle is being invaded by a funny green light!
~~please listen to me!~~
*sighs and watches Gatti enter the light* I hope he finds the way back home. I don't trust Van, or that girl. *sees something flying towards them at a fast place* Gah! *turns on his comm* Jajuka, do you see...*blinks as it turns out to be Naria and Eriya's guymelefs flying towards the green light* Wha..? *sees them vanish in the light* That was odd..
~~that's something you don't see everyday!~~
Sister! *hobbles over to her* (I'm guessing Folken is holding them in the same hand?) Naria! What is wrong? *kneels down to her and gently props her head up* She's blacked out Folken-sama! *eyes widen and looks at Folken* What do I do?
~~what is wrong with my sister?~~
*nods back at Dilandau* Least I did something right! *smiles and looks at Varie* Huh? What's wrong with her? *whispers to her* Varie? Varie are you ok? *hears Dilandau talking to Miguel and Dallet* They've made it back! *hops into his melef and sighs* Varie, I'm going to place you right here. *puts her right beside him* I hope you feel better soon...
~~worried about Varie~~
Huh..whaa? Van? *stares and watches Gatti leave and goes into a daze and talks in a monotone voice* One dragonslayer has left. Make the others go soon. I don't know how long this doorway will stay open. Why am I saying this? I feel like there is someone else in my head! *sees Yukari and feels pain* GAHH!! Yukari-chan! *slumps over on Van and snaps out of the daze* Yukari-chan...is in trouble...
~~how do I help her though?~~
*tunes into his NOSE and watches his scientists* Inject the paralyzing formula into her, QUICKLY!!! *smiles as they compile.* Yes! Yes! now put that enchancer tube into her arm. harness her power!!!! yes! yes! *tunes in the other part of the enhancer that is connected to him and his machines.* YES!!! it's working!!! i can feel it!!!
~~hahahahahaha~~
*looks at his guymelf. sees that it is okay. gives Shesta a nod* Let's get into them. *turns around and sees Miguel and Dallet* Come on you MORONS!!! Into your guymelfs!
~~obvilious to everything!~~
*suddenly begins to feel sick. slumps over into Folken guymelf's hand. sees darkness beginning to surround her.*
~~passing out??~~
What? A feather? *gives Miguel a look* Are you crazy?? *instinctively covers his eyes from the blinding light. puts his arms down. sees Shesta and Dilly-boy. breathes a sigh of relief.*
~~Dilandau-SAMA!~~
*looks amused at Miguel.* What? A feather? *gives Gaddes a look. is suddenly blinded by a bright light. draws his sword and slashes in the room* It's a trick!!!!!
~~get them!~~
"Be careful Gatti!" Anxiously watches Gatti disappear into the strange green light. Keeps his comm channel opened. "Gatti? Gatti can you hear me?"
~~is this a trap?~~
*gets an odd feeling. goes limp in Shesta's hand but doesn't pass out completely.* what? what's going on? *sees visions of Van and Folken passing before her eyes*
~~am I having visions now?~~
*watches Amano go below. looks at the Moleman remembering Dornkirk* I don't think he should be alone, do you? *grabs moleman's hand* Let's go down there with him.
~~worried about everything~~
Frowns as he watches his knights board the Crusade. Snaps on his comm. "Be careful knights! Those three strangers have evil powers! Capture them and put them into irons! I want Platku to examine them!"
~~giving orders~~
I.... I don't know, Dallet! *sees Allen's men and the king's guard approaching from all sides* And I think we're outmatched, here... *holds tight to his sword and sinks into a defensive position* The light! The light is gone! So what do we DO? *remembers the feather* AH!! *reaches into his pocket and holds it out* Don't come any closer! *looks into the feather worriedly* Please... help us! *holds it up into the air and sees a bright flash of light*
~~are we saved? Or are we dead?~~
R... Right! *goes through the door and back down into the gear room* Dang... I wish I could help. But that psychotic old king wants to kill me. *snarls* And I've been completely useless this whole time. Hitomi... Yukari... both of them have been taken away by a shriveled up old ghost man. *glares at the air* Old man! I'M here now! Why don't you take ME, too??
~~feels worthless~~
*smiles at Milerna* Ah... I should have expected that reaction. *Shrugs and goes to the navigation room* Alrighty! *gets the ship off the ground, and sets coordinates for Freid* ... Ladies, we are on our way to Freid. We're going at a fast pace, so we should be there before too long.
~~amused~~
Yes sir, boss! Eh? *hears Merle talking about the king's men* ... We can use that to our advantage, but... *looks over at Amano* Go back to the gear room! NOW! I don't think you should be seen by the king's guard. *sounds the alarm across the Crusade* We have been boarded by Dragonslayers! All armed hands report to the comm room! There are TWO dragonslayers here! *spots the king's guard approaching as well and looks at Amano* Quick!
~~obeying orders~~
*hovers motionless for a moment* I wonder if Fanel is sending us into a trap? *watches Hitomi cling to Van* The girl looks upset. This IS her home... so perhaps it isn't a trap after all. Well, I'm gonna take the chance before any of the rest of them do. I don't want to risk THEIR lives. *flips on his comm to only the Dragonslayers* I'm going in! I'll try my best to contact you when I get to the other side. If you don't hear from me soon, then it's a trap. Got it? Right. *flexes his arm slightly to work out the pain and takes a deep breath* Right... *flies right into the center of the green light, and keeps going*
~~I'm in!~~
Hitomi?!? *frowns and flaps Esca up a little higher* Dragonslayers! If you want to get back to Gaea, GO INTO THE GREEN LIGHT! *swallows and looks back at Hitomi* I hope this light really will take us back... Hey, be careful! *steadies Escaflowne out* Don't fall off!!
~~Errrr... I dunno what that light actually is~~
*hears Yukari's voice* Yukari-chan!! Can..can you hear me? *pauses and hears Jajuka's voice* Oh no...Van...*clutches on to him and feels woozy* We can't let that happen Van...*sees Yukari's face again* Yukari-chan!! Can you get to me? Where are you...?
~~I can barely see you...~~
*sighs and watches his grandfather leave* I hope..I hope I didn't upset him. *goes over to the window and looks out* I see the castle! Well it's still far away, but I'm home! *smiles and notices a green light appearing* Eh? *blinks and rubs his eyes* What is with that light?
~~that's strange...~~
Uh..uh...I don't know where Escaflowne is, sir. But your guymelef is over here. *bows slightly and walks a little ways* See sir! It's fine. And here are my, Dallet's and Miguel's melefs too...If only I knew where they were. Did they make it back home? I could go into that light...but only if Dilandau-sama orders it. *stands infront of Dilandau's melef and sighs* I'm soooooo hungry!!!
~~the hunger attacks again!~~
*flies behind Jajuka and smiles* Hmmm, perhaps this will get our point across... *points his claw towards the city* What a sec..they can't see me. Oh well. I'm ready to attack, if Mr. Dragon doesn't want to help us get home too.
~~we are very serious here!~~
Are they picking on me? It looks like Eries and Dydren like to mess with my head... *frowns slighty and gives Eries a look* Of course I wouldn't be silly enough to go above deck into trouble. You should give me more credit than that. *walks past her* We need to get going! Who knows what's happening while we waste time talking. *stomps*
~~throwing a silent fit~~
*opens his eyes and sees only Shesta. frowns* So, where is the Escaflowne? Where is Van? I made a wish for him to be here so I can kill him! Where is he? *looks around.* Speaking of which, SHESTA! WHERE'S MY GUYMELF???
~~humpf, wishes, mishes!~~
*listens to his guards as they quickly explain.* What? Feathers? A strange light? *snaps on his comm to his scientists* Quickly YOU FOOLS!!! Harness this girl's powers! She's doing it! She's doing it all!!!! MOVE IT BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!!!
~~wants that power~~
*quickly grabs the moleman's hand as she hids behind him.* Oh Lord Van! Where are you? *turns to look at the deck. shierks in surprise.* Allen! The king's knights are coming on aboard and they don't look friendly!
~~are they here to help with the dragon slayers?~~
*looks at the statue.* pencha! why are you here? for what purpose have you come back from the grave for? *stares at dilly-boy* and what does HE have to do with things. *looks up at Shesta.* or this poor man? pencha! what are you trying to tell me?
~~wishing she could understand more~~
Gives the catwomen a brief worried look as the helicopter attacks. Smiles as Folken easily disposes of it. Goes right up to the Escaflowne. Snaps on his comm. "Okay! Either you take us back to where we belong or we pulverize this place."
~~i know the girl lives here!~~
GAHHHH *jumps back as the moleman opens the door. sees allen, gaddes and some of allen's men. quickly draws his sword.* YIKES! *stares blankly at Miguel* Where, where did you come from? Dilandau-sama wants us to go back to Atlantis? *looks at Allen and his men.* Okay! How?
~~i'm ready to go back now~~
*smiles as Folken gets rid of the bothersome flying machine.* thank you my love! how i hate those things. they're loud and they cause a huge wind! *suddenly remembers* Folken_sama! We can't leave yet! What about Eriya's and mine guymelfs?
~~we should grab them before we go~~
Looks worriedly as his knights prepare to go aboard the Crusade. demons! witches! Remembers the brilliant white light. Shudders. oh yes, those three definately have something to do with this. i know they're controlling the dopplegangers and they've cast spells on everyone. they must die!
~~already given them a trial!~~
*is startled by the moleman.* Wha??? *looks and sees Miguel popping out of thin air standing next to Dallet. growls softly* What are THEY doing here? *instinctively pulls Merle back and shoves her and the moleman out of the way. looks at Gaddes as he draws his sword.* Sound the alarm! We are being boarded!
~~prepare to fight dragon slayers!~~
*closes his eyes for a moment, and takes a deep breath* Hai, Dilandau-sama. *goes through the light and feels a floating sensation for a long moment* Ahhhh... *lands in front of Dallet* DALLET! Dilandau-sama wants you to... come... back... *looks around and sees Allen, Moleman, Merle, Amano, and Gaddes* Er... Woah! We're on the Crusade! *jumps backwards and looks around for the light* Crud. *draws his sword and leans close to Dallet so only he hears* Dilandau-sama wanted me to bring you back to him. We've got to find a way back to Atlantis...
~~this is NOT where I wanted to be!~~
*watches the Escaflowne become bathed in green light* That light... it must be the way back to Gaea. Well... my mother isn't here, so I might as well follow Van back to our world. *glares back at the helicoptor* Those are irratating. *swings one arm and destroys it* Naria! Eriya! Hold on, alright? We're going into the light. *heads for Escaflowne*
~~can't do much good HERE, after all~~
*faintly hears Hitomi's voice from far away* Hitomi-chan? Where are you...? *looks around in alarm, but sees the guards not flinching* Was I the only one who heard that? *gulps* DO I have powers?? *sees the shadow of feathers cast on the floor suddenly* Eh? What's that? Oh! ANGELS! *sees several winged people standing around* I'm saved! Er... *sees a guard go running back off to Dornkirk* Rats. They're gonna go tell the shriveled up old man... But the angels have come to save me! *hears Hitomi's voice very clearly, talking to Van* Hitomi-chan! Er... Hitomi-chan! Can you hear me??
~~this is weird... am I gonna die?~~
*notices someone opening and closing the door quickly* Eh? I didn't think any of Allen's men would creep around his ship like that... if they wanted to know what he's talking about, wouldn't they just come in? *goes over to the door and pulls it open* AHH! ALLEN!! *jumps backwards quickly* DRAGONSLAYER! THERE!! Right there in the doorway!!
~~hey, I'm still a coward, here~~
Haaaiii Jajuka! *laughs and turns off the comm* It's not so hard to get you Escaflowne! *flies into the green light and stares at Van and Hitomi* Ok, stupid, take us back!
~~I'm ready to go home now!~~
You are right sister. That is rather odd...What is that skinny boy up too? I hope Folken-sama tells us what to do soon. I'm just waiting to attack again! *ears perk up and hears something odd* Sister, did you hear that? *looks down and spots another helicopter* Oh it's that THING again. I thought we were in trouble...
~~well, Folken-sama will take care of that!~~
Man...why does everyone hate Varie...? What has she done? *gives an odd look to Dilandau and shrugs at Miguel* I guess you have to go into that light...*sighs and stares at Dilandau-sama* What wish is he talking about? If I had a wish...I would wish for Varie to be her normal self. Then I wouldn't have to worry about her safetly all the time...
~~that would be my wish...~~
*gives Van a worried look* We can't leave the dragonslayers here Van! For some reason they haven't destroy anything yet, but I'm sure they will! They need to come with us...*hears Van's comm and hushes a bit* Wow, Escaflowne can contanct the Crusade from here. That's so neat... *feels an all to familiar darkness* Oh no..not another vision...*sees Yukari in a deep hole* Yukari-chan? *goes over to her and tries to pull her out* Don't worry Yukari-chan, I'll get you out! *notices Yukari is getting deeper and deeper, and suddenly she fades away* Yukari-chan! NOOOOOOOO!!! *snaps her head up and sees the green light and Escaflowne* Van! I think...I think Yukari-chan is in trouble!
~~at least that's what I think that vision meant~~
