*listens to allen's conversation.* Oh that poor mother. She has two sons on the opposite sides of each other like I do. *thinks of Van and Folken and sighs* i know first hand how hard that truly is. her two sons, dilandau and allen, must break her heart. and to top that off, her daughter was missing. oh that poor, poor dear. well at least seeing her daughter back shall put some of her troubled heart at ease.
>>>>>feeling sorry for allen's mother
*looks sadly back in Gatti's direction and sighs. looks at all the pretty flowers in the courtyard as she, allen and gaddes pass by. tries to reach for them but allen has one hand while gaddes has the other. pouts. listens to allen.* Mother?
>>>>>mom?
*gives her sister a smile.* Welcome back sister. *looks over at Gatti.* Okay, it's time for you to leave. Where's your guymelf?
>>>>>let's go buster
*is shocked at dornkirk's comm.* What the??? hmmmmm, how did he know that we were going to Asturia? *quickly answers him.* Right away Dornkirk-sama. *tunes his comm to Viole.* Drat! We have to head back. Someone snitched on us!
>>>>>i'm going to find out who the tattle tale is
Thanks for your help, Gaddes. This is Celena, my sister who has been missing for so long. The king believes that dragon slayer had rescued her, but I know better. They are the ones who kidnapped her. I just know it. *turns the corner and sees his mother's house several yards away. looks at Celena* Don't worry. Soon you'll be back with our mother; right where you belong.
>>>>>taking Celena home
Listens to Dornkirk's message. "Yes Dornkirk-sama." Snaps off his comm. yeah right. like i'm going to help that metal clawed madman torture dilandau-sama. Watches Allen and Gaddes take Celena around the corner. Notices the others in the courtyard heading towards the castle. this is good. it shouldn't be too much longer before i'll be able to take dilandau-sama back without too much fuss.
>>>>>waiting for the right moment
*smirks at Millerna's idea. leans close to Hitomi and whispers* Are you okay servant girl?
>>>>>having fun
*hears Guimel's comm.* WHAT??? Dallet and Viole are going to Asturia? The FOOLS! *turns the comm to their comms.* DALLET! VIOLE! Get back to Zaibach. NOW! I don't want the King of Asturia think that we are attacking him. NOW RETURN!!!! *snaps his comm to Jajuka* Jajuka! Allen has gotten a hold of his sister. Folken is well aware of the situation. I want you to aid him in getting Dilandau back, but be descreet. Understand?
>>>>>barking orders to everyone except Guimel
Looks at Millerna. "New servants?" Lightly shrugs. "I guess you'll need them to help you for the wedding." Smiles at Dryden before turning to Folken. "Strategos, my home is your home." Looks at Van. "Young King of Fanelia. You and your companion are more than welcome to stay. Please make yourself at home." Looks at Prince Chid. "You've had a busy day. I think you should get some rest." Addresses the others. "All of you are welcomed. This is a joyous occasion!" Turns backs to Dryden. "Come my boy. Let's have that drink." Heads back to the castle.
>>>>>in a happy mood
Good idea! Lead the way! *smirks to him self and twirls his hair* I wonder what Dilandau-sama will say when we find him? *imagines Dilandau-sama telling Dallet and Viole that they are his favorites* I wish!! But it could happen!!
>>>>>wishful thinking
Well you guys do whatever. I'm going to see what I can do around here. *walks over to his guymelef and stares at it for a bit* I guess I can bother Dornkirk-sama. I hope he doesn't get mad or anything. *turns on his hand-held comm* Dornkirk-sama? Are there any orders you want me to do? Jajuka left to get Dilandau-sama, and Viole and Dallet flew off after him. I have nothing to do though. And I'm kinda bored...
>>>>>bugging Dornkirk
*swallows and gives Grava a half-hearted smile* Of course, your magesty. I never thought that my wedding would be one sponsered by Zaibach... I'm never going to get a chance to tell the others about the flight of the draconians now!! I bet Van would have been interested....
>>>>>nuts
*bows to the King and quietly steps behind Millerna* A servant, huh? Wow, this is getting stranger and stranger. But if playing along will help things, there's no reason for me to stand in the way!
>>>>>whoo, I'm a princess' servant now!
*listens to Merle and nods* Yes, *whispers to the kitten* You're right. King Aston seems to have forgotten about me, and that's all for the best. Come, let's go with Hitomi and Millerna.
>>>>>Yeah, I want to get out of here too.
Father, *smiles at him* I want to introduce you to my three new servants. *swallows and walks over to Hitomi, Yukari and Amano* I hope they play along with this. Or they will have a heck of a time telling him they are from the Mystic Moon! *whispers to them* Play along, and I'll get you a nice room in the castle. *looks back at King Aston* This is Hitomi, and this is *points at Yukari and tries to remember her name* uh..Yuka...and this is*points at Amano* Amano. They have came with me. Unfornately, Hitomi is very tired. Is it alright if I show them the servant quarters, while you discuss the wedding with Dryden?I need to get away from this!! I hope he says yes...
>>>>>thinking up a plan
You're right Miguel. I'm very tired too...after going to that strange Mystic Moon, who wouldn't be?..I think I'm going to get a bite to eat and rest. Hopefully Jajuka will bring back Dilandau-sama. *starts to walk away* Well see you guys later. *heads towards the kitchen* Hmmm I know the turkey is gone, but I wonder what else is in the fridge?
>>>>>hungry, tired and in NO mood to fight right now!
*waivers at bit and smiles weakily at Yukari* Yukari-chan, I'll be ok. I think I just need to rest a bit. *looks at her and Amano* I think we should all get some rest actually! It's been quite a day...And I keep on getting visions. What does it all mean? *gives the King a polite bow* I'm..I'm sorry for my outburst, your magesty.
>>>>>I'm not really sick, just tired...
*frowns at Gatti* Fine. Whatever. *walks over to Naria and smiles* Sorry for the delay sister. *gives at Gatti a glare and looks back at Naria* We can leave now.
>>>>>stupid dragonslayer
*whispers to Van* I think Hitomi is very weak from all of her visions. I think that's why King Aston thinks she's sick. Maybe we should go inside and at least get her to bed.
>>>>>good idea? bad idea?
*glares as Gatti give Celena a feather. says nothing. drags Celena away. looks kindly at her.* It's okay sister. You don't need that creature any more. I'm here. I'll take care of you. *smiles*
>>>>>grrrrrr Gatti, what did you do to MY sister?
*takes the feather from Gatti.* You come too. *looks tearfully as he walks away.* No! *shouts* You come too! I like you! *looks at Allen.* Allen? Why doesn't he come too? *starts to cry*
>>>>>i like him
Sees the castle and the courtyard below. Notices the crowd. Also notices Allen and Gaddes taking Celena out of the courtyard. Drat! I'll have to wait and make my move when there's less people. I hope that knight takes her some place less crowded.
>>>>>i'm here dilly-boy!
*snaps on his comm* Viole! You're right! *goes into stealth mode* We can't just randomly destroy the towns in Asturia. That won't be good for Zaibach or us. I think Dilandau-sama is near the castle. That's where we'll look.
>>>>>we have to be sneaky
*hears the king talking about the wedding again. addresses the comm.* Good work Folken. King Aston is still interested with the wedding. Excellent! Make sure the wedding takes place. I will notify Jajuka to be descreet when he arrives. The first chance you get, grab that pyro.
>>>>>well, something may be going right after all
*gets antisy.* what is taking them so long? all they seemed to do is talk! geesh! what do they have to talk about? eriya needs to get him out of there! *notices Gatti leaving.* well it's about time.
>>>>>finally
Oh dear, you have to leave. That's okay. I think I'll stay with that poor girl for a while. *smiles at Celena* Don't worry dear, I won't leave you.
>>>>>my sons will have to wait
Smiles at both Eries and Gatti. Addresses Gatti. "You are to be commended young man for saving one of my best knight's sister. There is no need to apologize." Smiles at Folken. "We shall hold a hero's welcome when Allen's sister has been looked by the doctors." Looks over at Hitomi. "This indeed has been a night of excitment for everyone. We all should go back inside and get some rest." Looks at Dryden, Millerna, Chid and Eries. "The next two weeks will be very busy. There is a wedding to plan!" Looks at Folken. "Strategos, once you and your people have rested, we shall put the wedding in motion." Goes over and pats Dryden on the back. "Come my boy, let's go inside and have a drink." Looks at the others. "Let's all go inside and get some sleep."
>>>>>okay, party over
*stuffs the feather in his pocket* I think we should wait here. I don't really feel up to talking to Dornkirk-sama... I want to get a little rest before they come back with Dilandau-sama. My transmission to Gatti got cut off, so I don't even know if he heard me. *sighs* I'm very tired....
>>>>>I WAS abducted by draconians, after all!
*puts her hand on Hitomi's arm* Hitomi-chan... Are you sick like they say? *gives her a worried expression* What can I do to help??
>>>>>I feel SOOOO out of place!
*slowly sheathes his sword* I... mmnnnh. *looks at Hitomi* I don't think she's sick. But I don't want to talk about it with King Aston around... I think... perhaps there WAS some kind of illusion of my mother. There is no way that dragonslayer, *glares at Gatti* could have known what she looked like. *swallows and looks at Folken for a moment, then looks at the ground* I... I don't think this is a good time to discuss it. You had other matters to attend to, right, your magesty? I wouldn't want to cause a disruption to them. First chance I get, I'm going to get to the bottom of this...
>>>>>trying to remain polite
*straightens up* There's no way I'm going to be able to leave with that girl... I'll just have to tell Dilandau-sama where his sister is. I think Miguel said something about him being in Asturia... I'll find him. *looks at Eyria* I haven't had much control over what's been happining so far, so it isn't fair to say that I'm ruining anything. But of course, I will go. *tugs free of Eyria's grip and bows politely to King Aston* Your magesty, I apologize for my rude appearance. *looks at Celena* Gaaah... I don't want her to cry at me... *picks up a normal bird feather off the ground* Here is a feather. *hands it to her and quickly steps back* I'm afraid that woman there can't give you another one of hers. You should go with your brother. I'll be back for you... depending on Dilandau-sama's orders.*looks at Varie* I'm sorry, I can't help you. I must leave. *turns and looks to the catgirls* Shall we go?
>>>>>NOW I'm ready
Alright Dallet. I'm coming with you! *ponders for a moment* Uh, Dallet? Where excatly in Asturia is Dilandau-sama? It's a big country you know. *examines his hair* Oh geez, these split ends are getting bad...I must do something about this when I get the time Should we just land in a random town and look for him? Oh, but we can't destroy stuff. Zaiback is allies with Asturia, and I'm sure Dornkirk-sama will kill us both if we do that. So let's go in stealth mode. *flips his melef in stealth mode* Anyway, where do we look?
>>>>>Ok...so where is he?
Ok...so Dallet and Viole are gone. Gatti is in Asturia and Jajuka is flying to get Dilandau-sama. *looks at Shesta and Miguel* What are we going to do? Try to burn the feather? Look for Dilandau-sama? Go and bug Dornkirk-sama? What?
>>>>>I want something to do
Hmmm...*sees Hitomi pointing and talking about Van's mother* Is she the one causing this mess? Wait a min... *watches Gaddes talk about the same woman along with Gatti* This is to much! *looks at the King and smiles* Father, I think that the young girl...*glances at Hitomi* is perhaps ill. *looks at Gaddes* Perhaps that fellow is feeling poorily too. But he is Allen's man and so I assume Allen will take care of that, after he helps his sister. And that Zaibach solider is being taken care of..so I guess we should discuss the wedding inside.
>>>>>trying to clear things up...
Folken! Listen to me! Get that dragon slayer out of there! He's ruining everything! Somehow you must get that maniac back! I've spent way too much time and energy on him to lose him now. I've sent Jajuka to you. He will help you get Dilandau back to Zaibach. Focus their attention on the wedding. It will act as a diversion and may get you in a position to retrieve our man!
>>>>>sheesh, why me?
Sees Asturia coming up. Puts his guymelf in stealth mode. Dilandau-sama! Hold on! I'll protect you, from all of your enemies!
>>>>>hang in their dilly-boy
"Of course Allen. You have my leave. Anyone can see that your sister has been through a lot. I will have the royal doctors attend to her at once." Claps his hands and quietly speaks to a servant. Looks over at Folken and Van. "Eh? What's that Strategos? Someone is playing tricks on you concerning your long lost beloved mother? NOT IN MY KINGDOM! Let me assure you Strategos" Looks at Van. "and you, young king of Faneila, whoever is causing such cruelty shall pay dearly."
>>>>>who is saying such things?
*sees her sister heading back. pauses and watches the exchange between eriya and Gatti*
>>>>>waiting
*digs her heels in the ground.* No, I don't want to go with you. I want a feather! *tries to pout but Allen drags her on. notices another man coming to help. gets scared and looks tearfully back at Gatti.*
>>>>>help me? i did like you...
*trips over the Moleman and almost falls on Merle* Ahhh! Sorry! *helps them both up* I swear...I thought I saw Van's mother, and now that Zaibach solider and Folken are arguing about it? This is too weird... *smiles wearily at Merle and the Moleman* Are you two ok? *clutches her pendant and sees Varie* Ah! She is there! I see her! *points at Varie and looks at Merle* I see Van's mother! She is there!
>>>>>She is there! Really!
*nods her head at her sister* Ok, I'll join you. *about to run off but notices the tension between Folken and Gatti*Hmmm, looks like Folken-sama needs some help with that deranged idiot.. *walks over to Gatti and Folken and bows* I'll escort him back to his guymelef Folken-sama! *grabs Gatti's arm* Come with me please. *softly growls and whispers* You have already cause enough trouble, so you better do what Folken-sama tells you.
>>>>>I'll take care of him
Dornkirk-sama...? *flicks on the comm* Hello? This is Folken... *trails off and stares incredulously at Gatti and Gaddes* Long black hair... dressed in green?? It certainly SOUNDS like mother... You... *feels anger rising towards them* My mother is dead. Whatever you are seeing is some deranged figment of your own imagination. *shakes his head and eyes Gatti* Perhaps the wizards can fix you when we return to Zaibach, hm? Better yet, why don't you just GO? You're causing conflict here. This is a time of a wedding, and there is no need for a soldier. *gives a curt nod to Grava and pays attention to the comm* Dornkirk-sama... things are getting a bit out of control here.
>>>>>sheesh!!!
*turns her head in Gatti's direction* Oh My! He DOES see me. *looks over at Folken and Van. see their blank expressions.* Oh dear. They're not going to believe him. *goes quickly over to Gatti* I don't know how to tell you this, but only you and Dilandau's and Allen's sister, if you will can see me. I don't know why that is, but it's true. *looks and sees Gaddes* Well, that man saw me too, but he can't anymore. *sighs* That's all. No one else can see me. *sees Hitomi* Well except that girl. And the good spirit, the one called Dornkirk. You are the only ones.
>>>>>dilandau and allen are brothers?
*bows again at the king.* Please ignore her, your majesty. She's been through a lot. *grabs Celena's other hand.* It's okay sister, *softly says* I'll get you anything you want. Let's get you out of here and away from...*glowers at Folken and Gatti* from them. *sees Gaddes* I don't care if there's a hundred invisible people around here, *whispers angrily* Just help me get Celena out of here. *literally dragging Celena away*
>>>>>rescuers my foot!
*snaps on his comm* Listen Viole, I'm going to find Dilandau-sama! I know he's in Asturia. I overheard Dornkirk-sama telling Jajuka that. I don't know how Dilandau-sama got to Asturia, but I do know that our enemies are there! I'm going to be there just in case Dilandau-sama needs me.
>>>>>come with me if you want
*looks at what Gatti is pointing.* why he's the one who's nuts. i don't see Van's mother. All i see is that strange girl. *whispers* Careful Lord Van. I think this might be a trick or something. *turns back to Celena* it is strange that girl keeps yelling for a feather.
>>>>>this is too werid
*listens to Gatti* That sounds like the woman I was talking about!! But she vanished... *looks at Celena* Is she in front of that girl? Invisible or something?? *walks over to Allen and Celena, careful not to be noticed by Grava*
>>>>>huuuuh....
*only hears part of Miguel's transmission* H... hai, Dornkirk-sama!! Folken-sama! It's an urgent call from Dornkirk-sama!! *hands over the comm looks at Varie* Wait a sec... Is SHE the mother of Folken and Van?? *looks at Van* Then he's nuts... going after Folken like that... Van... you're nuts. Your mother is right over there. *points straight at Varie* A woman with long black hair, dressed in green, right? *looks over at Folken* That's her, right?
>>>>>she keeps saying you're her sons...
Gatti! Where the heck are you?? We saw you through a projection in a feather... And Shesta here's been saying some pretty strange things... anyway! Where are you? We know Dilandau-sama is somewhere in Asturia....
>>>>>trying to get things straight...
Uh ok, Shesta. *runs off to his guymelef* How the heck am I going to tell Dallet to come back? And what if he does find Dilandau-sama? *sighs and hops in the melef* Oh well. If Dallet won't come back, I'm not going to stop him. He did give me that brush after all. *takes off after Dallet and turns on the comm* Hey, Dallet! Shesta thinks it would be better if we all stayed on the flying fortress. What do you think? I hope you will say no, and we could continue to look for him. Then I'll get into Dilandau-sama's favor if we find him...heh, heh...
>>>>>yo, Dallet! Wait up!
*sighs and sees Allen giving her a look* What the in the world? What does that mean? It's not that I'm happy with this situation! *quickly turns her head and sees Naria and Eriya* Oh Allen, I wish you could save me from this...just tell my father that this arranged marriage is wrong... *sighs* But you can't, can you? Noone can... *watches Naria start to run off* I wish I was like them. Free. Free to choose to do whatever they wished with their life. That must be nice..
>>>>>I'm in a deep dark depression
*smiles at Grava Aston and clasps his hands together* Oh that's gotta be it grandfather! *gives Allen a big grin* I'm sure Zaibach has rescued your sister! What other explanation could there be? *pauses and watches Celena scream for a feather* Oh my..she really wants a feather...
>>>>>easily fooled here
*sighs and watches Dallet run off* I didn't want him to do that. Especially since..*looks at Miguel holding the comm*..Miguel is talking with Gatti now and I'm not excatly sure where Dilandau-sama is. *looks at Viole* Viole, could you bring Dallet back? Or at least make sure he doesn't do anything dumb? *stomach growls* Heh, I'm kinda of hungry. *listens intently to Gatti and hears Dornkirk inturrupt* That's odd. Miguel, tell Gatti I'm here and ask if Dilandau-sama is there, when you get the chance.
>>>>>giving orders since I'm the 2nd in command!
*growls softly seeing the tension between folken and van* Sister, *whispers* I'm not sure what is going to happen, but I think I'll go and get into my guymelf. I think there may be a huge fight brewing.
>>>>>sliding away
*looks at Shesta.* I'm not going to wait around for Dilandau-sama to show up! I'm going to get him. *runs to his guymelf and takes off*
>>>>>also on his way to asturia
Uses his super charge engine trying to get to Asturia as fast as he can. what am I going to do once I get dilly-boy back? i hope that old geezer doesn't think i'm just going to hand dilly-boy over to the scientists to be tortured? i won't do that! he's...she's...he's been tortured too much already! but what am i to do? no matter, i'll think of something.
>>>>>deciding against the scientists
*hears Van. turns to Moleman* Folken...he couldn't be using his...his own mother. No one is that cruel. *hears Folken. goes closer to Van* Lord Van? *whispers* I believe him. He's too surprised at your words. *hushes when hears Celena.* Uh? can she see Lord Van's feathers?
>>>>>she's hollering about feathers!
*frowns* I want a feather. *quiets down when allen addresses the king.* Home? *looks back at Allen. frowns as he starts dragging her away. looks back at Varie* I WANT A FEATHER! Please! Feather! Sparkly feather!
>>>>>i want a feather
Frowns. "Your sister?" Looks at Celena. "All right Allen. Take your sister home to your mother." Looks over at Folken. "Now I wonder why Zaibach would have Allen's sister?" Looks down at Prince Chid. "Ah, maybe they rescued the poor child. What do you think?" Smiles. Looks at Dyrden. "Come, I have some glad news for you." Addresses Folken. "This is indeed a day for celebration Strategos! First a wedding and now a rescue!"
>>>>>let's party
Woah!!!!! *peers closer to his NOSE.* YES!!! It's true! Both that maniac and his man, Gatti I think, can see Varie! This is wonderful!!!!!! *notices Gatti talking on the comm* hmmmmm, i wonder if i should call folken. *notices he is with his brother.* it can wait. he has his hands full right now. and the king is there. *sees Allen taking Celena away.* OH NO!!!!! *snaps on his comm and interrupts Gatti and Miguel* Gatti! At the first possible minute, I must talk with Folken. It's urgent!
>>>>>you can't have my pryo!
Um, your majesty. *gives the king a bow* There has been a misunderstanding. It seems that one of Zaibach's soldiers, a dragon slayer to be exactly, your majesty, has suddenly turned up with my sister. *pulls Celena close* Your majesty, my sister has been missing for quite some time now, many, many years. Seeing that, Strategos is getting the situation under control for you, your majesty. I would like to take my sister home. *gives millerna a look* you're getting married?
>>>>>wants to get his sister out of there
*turns around and looks at Gatti in surprise* You...you can see me too? And you can hear me as well? *smiles* That's wonderful! *sees her sons* VAN! FOLKEN! *watches as they continued their own conversation. looks around and notices no one else heard her except Gatti and Celena. notices Gatti is now talking into a small device. sighs. looks back at Celena* I know you can hear and see me. I need your help. I need you to help me with my sons. *sighs again* But considering your mental state, I must keep it simple.
>>>>>oh dear
*looks at Grava* Did he just say KINGDOM?? His kingdom?? He's the king of this place?? *steps back and leans close to Hitomi* Hitomi-san... is that man the king of this place? The one who owns this palace?
>>>>>wow....
*hears Miguel on his comm* Huh? *answers it* Miguel? Yeah, I hear you... what's the matter?? I'm kind of in the middle of a strange situation here... *watches Varie talking to Celena* Ma'am, *lowers the comm a little* the girl asked you for a feather. I don't think it's a good idea, since apparantly your feathers can teleport us between Gaea and the Mystic Moon. Anyway, Miguel, what do you want?
>>>>>still doesn't know people can't see Varie
What...? *walks right up to Van, lightly pushing Gatti aside* What did you say? Is he loosing it?? I have done nothing of the sort. Everything I've done up to this point has had a greater purpose... to save Gaea itself. I would NEVER use the image of our mother against you or anyone else. I wish her spirit will rest in peace- I would never do anything to disrupt her. What would possibly make you say such a thing??
>>>>>totally shocked
*sword wavers at Grava, but still focuses on Folken* You KNOW what you've done! You've used the image of our mother against me!! That... THAT is the ultimate treachery!!
>>>>>don't care about aston
It's true! Millerna is getting married. I hope it's with Dryden... *looks around and sees Allen with Celena* I hope Allen isn't marrying her..hmmm his sister is so strange. Why is she pointing at Van anyway? Does she know him? *clutches her pendant and sees a shadow of Varie right by Van and gasps* Wha..? Is Varie there? It can't be..can it? Does Allen's sister see here? *blinks and the shadow is gone* What that just an illusion?
>>>>>I'm seeing things...
*smirks and whispers back* You are right sister. I'm sure the king will lock up that little wench. Hmphf! Look at her clothes, is she some kind of servant girl? *sneers at Yukari and watches the king* I would love to teach her some manners..
>>>>>You have made a very bad enemy
*frowns and watches Jajuka take off* Stay here? What does he think we are? Dogs? *spits on the ground and glares at Jajuka's guymelef* I can't stand taking orders from anyone but Dilandau-sama. *looks at Shesta* Ok, Shesta..do we stay here or go to Asturia on our own?
>>>>>I'm still mad at Jajuka you know...
Wow, that certainly did the trick. I wonder what was going on here..? *looks around and sees Folken inbetween Gatti and Van* Van? Are you ok? What's going on?
>>>>>asking questions
*looks fearfully at the moleman.* Oh no! There's going to be bloodshed. *hears the king. looks over at allen. notices Celena staring at Van. whispers to Moleman* Why is she looking at Van-sama that way? It's like she's listening to something.
>>>>>she scares me
*tunes his NOSE back to the courtyard. sees the king.* Drat! Everything is ruined! Well, I'm tired of this! If I can't get what I want by sneakiness and underhandedness, then I will take what I want by force! *notices the interplay between Celena and Varie.* What? Is this possible? Can that maniac actually see Varie? Hmmmmmm, this opens up new possibilities. *snaps on his comm and talks with his scientists,*
>>>>>hmmmmmm
*whispers* Don't worry sister, Folken-sama will make sure everything turns out okay. *sees the king.* Ah, now things will get cleared up and everyone will soon see it's that girl who is the thief!
>>>>>comforting her sister
Dilandau-sama is in Asturia? And he's there as Celena? Oh this isn't good. "Yes Dornkirk-sama. I will retrieve him immediately." Hears Shesta. "You and the other dragon slayers STAY HERE! I will go and get Dilandau-sama." Races for his guymelf and takes off, heading for Asturia.
>>>>>hold on dilly-boy, i'm coming!
*stops and stares at Celena.* oh my! she can still see me! *heart skips a beat. flutters over to Celena.* You want a feather? oh i hope you can hear me. *smiles* Say it again darling, tell me what you want.
>>>>>can you hear me too?
Frowns at the sight before him. "What is going on here?" Looks at drawn swords. "There will be NO fighting here." Looks at Yukari. "You claim something has been stolen from you? Not in my kingdom." Looks at Allen. "This is suppose to be a happy occasion. My daughter is getting married. Now, I want to know what is going on here."
>>>>>demanding answers
*sighs and hears Yukari yelling at everyone* What is wrong with everyone? Why is this happening? *hears some one behind her and turns around* Why, hello Father. I'm afraid there is a little mess here...and I'm not sure how it happened. *smiles and sees Millerna and Chid with him* Oh, I take it Millerna knows the good news then? *walks by Grava*
>>>>>hey father, stop this nonsense here!
Yukari-chan...*sweatdrops at her outburst*...I don't think everyone is a thief...*pauses and sees Van with his sword drawn out* Oh dear..this is going from bad to worse...
>>>>>can this get any worse?
*blinks* I don't know how Dilandau-sama is in Asturia...that is weird. I wonder if that strange light that sent me to the Mystic Moon...hey! That's got to be it! *grabs a hold of Dallet* I know how he got there! The same way I got to the Mystic Moon. A funny light sent him there. Come on, we got to go and get him!! *looks at Jajuka* Is that alright or do you want to get Dilandau-sama?
>>>>>I know how he got there!
*listens carefully to Gatti speaking* Dilandau's... sister? Now that's a WEIRD thought... *turns around to face Van* What are you talking about, Van Fanel? *puts his arm in front of Gatti* there is no need for your sword, dragonslayer. Now Van, what has gotten you so upset this time? What have I done to enrage you so?
>>>>>are little brothers SUPPOSED to be this hostile?
*glowers at everyone* You lying little monsters!! I don't know what you are, but you don't have the right to just go around STEALING things that I hold dear! *looks at Dryden* Your offer is very kind. I suppose I'll have to take it. *stares at Eriya* Bad things happen to horrible people who lie and steal. You should tell that to.... *sees Folken at last* HIM!! HE'S the one that stole it from me!! *sees Van and Gatti* Ahh! The swords are out again...
>>>>>Thieves... you're all theives!! But don't impale each other...
*takes the comm from Viole* I'm going to try and contact Gatti. *flips it on and dials in Gatti's transmission* Gatti? Come in.... Can you hear me?? Please respond! Where are you?? Oh, this is Miguel speaking... Come in, Gatti!
>>>>>I hope this works!
*glowers at Folken and turns on his heel taking Celena with him. stops short as Eriya snatches the pendant from her.* Don't worry, *he whispers softly to Celena* I will get you all the necklaces you want. *starts taking her across the courtyard when he hears her crying about a feather.* uh? *sees that she is pointing in Van's direction.* can she see Van's feathers? *looks back and sees the king approaching*
>>>>>oh boy...
*goes over and stands by jajuka. hears the latter part of dornkirk's transmission. races back over by Shesta.* hey, i just heard over the comm that dilandau-sama is in asturia. but how can that be? i know he was on the flying fortress when we left there. *looks back at jajuka* something funny is going on.
>>>>>how can dilly-boy be in asturia?
*frowns as eriya snatches the necklace away. juts her lip out in a pout. looks and sees varie. holds her hand out.* feather! i want a feather!
>>>>>oooo sparkly feather
Hey!! Woah! *steps between the cat girls, and Yukari and Amano* Enough of that! *looks at Yukari* If that truly was yours, then I'll let you have your pick of one of the necklaces on my ship to compensate it. Nothing you say will get these two to believe you. Don't worry... I have a large selection. *smiles* I'm a merchant. *sees the arrival of King Aston, Millerna, and Chid* Ah, hello. *bows, somewhat uneasy* Oh, right... the marriage....
>>>>>woah...
*follows Folken closely and speaks quietly to him* I think that girl is Dilandau-sama's sister. She had his armour and sword. Shesta and I found her on the Mystic Moon, along with that other woman over there. *waves his arm towards Varie, not realizing that no one else can see her* Look out!! *draws his sword and whirls around to face Van*
>>>>>surprise attack!!
*looks at Gaddes, ignoring everything else* What did you say...? *walks right up to him* Vanished? What...? *growls* Who would say such a thing?? It MUST be some sort of mind trick from Zaibach... *gives a death glare in Folken's general direction* How DARE he try to use the image of our mother against me? *draws his sword and runs after Folken* FOLKEN! I had thought you were only a traitor... but this... THIS is something I can't let go!!
>>>>>fury fury fury!!
*gives her father a smile* Ok, Father. I'm sure Dryden will be overjoyed. Sigghhhhh...I wish it wasn't so. I barely know Dryden, and now I'm going to marry him. This isn't fair! But there is nothing I can do... *follows Chid and Grava outside and stares* Oh wow..what's going on out here?
>>>>>maybe a diversion that can stop this wedding?
*gives Shesta a big grin* Hey Shesta, you are out of that feather now! Good! Where's Gatti? *notices that Jajuka is calling someone on the comm* Uh, Miguel..I think Jajuka is calling someone already. *sighs and stares blankly* But..*looks around a bit*..you can borrow my portable comm. Just don't drop it..ok?
>>>>>here, use mine
*glares at Yukari, Amano and Hitomi* I don't care what you say. Folken-sama gave that necklace to me! *growls at Celena* Give it back. NOW! *snatches the pendant again and jumps behind Naria* These humans are making Folken-sama look horrible, by lying about his record. If I stay here much longer, I swear I'll kill them all...and I'm sure that will ruin Folken-sama's plan...
>>>>>uh sister, do something...please?
*smiles at the Moleman. hears eriya growl. shudders* She's really mad, *whispers to the moleman.* She wants that pendant back. *looks over at naria.* The other one is very angry too. *gets very nervous when folken arrives. looks at van. sees that he is eyeing his brother. swallows. turns back to the moleman and sees the king coming into the courtyard with millerna and chid over moleman's shoulder.* uh oh.
>>>>>yikes!
*looks at the cat women.* oh dear. they are spitting mad. poor things. i recognize that pendant. it does belong to that young girl there. *sees folken arrive* Oh my precious son! You are here to save the day! *looks at Van and sighs.* Van has such a guarded look whenever Folken is near. Oh how I wish they would get along with each other. *sees Celena with the pendant.* such a pretty child. however, the necklace needs to be returned to the rightful owner. maybe i could do something. *flutters near Celena*
>>>>>oh dear, what can i do to help?
Smiles broadly at both Millerna and Prince Chid. "The wedding will be in one week! No...better make it two weeks." Gives Millerna a wink. "Want to give our guest enough time to get here." Claps his hands together. "There is much to do." Looks at Millerna. "One of the guards told me that merchant of yours is out in the courtyard. Come daughter," Smiles at Prince Chid, "and you to my grandson. Let's give him the good news!"
>>>>>heads for the courtyard
*sees Folken arrive.* hmmmm, good. the swords have been sheathed although tensions still run high. however, folken will smooth things over. it'll be interesting how he will get dilandau from allen. but i know he will....uh? *hears jajuka* Jajuka! I know exactly where Dilandau is! He is at Asturia in his TRUE form! That other idiotic dragon slayer is there too. Go! Take a guymelf and BRING Dilandau back! I'll alert the scientists. *frowns* They have much work to do.
>>>>>grrrrrrr, my plans are RUINED!!!!!!
*walks into the courtyard and sees all the mayhem* What is going on here? *walks over to Allen and Van* What is the meaning of this? Why is your sword drawn out? *stares at Naria and Eriya* This is strange...
>>>>>uh, having a party out here?
*looks at Yukari and Amano* Oh my..I bet Folken gave that to that cat woman. That's why she thinks you are a thief. Still..*looks at Eriya with a frighten expression* This is Yukari's...perhaps you should ask Folken about where he got it. *stares at the chaos that is calming down* Where's Van? *looks around Amano and sees him behind Allen* Hmmm...he looks really stressed. I guess it's because Folken is here.
>>>>>worried about Van...
Maybe we could try calling Gatti on the comm! He might know what happened to Dilandau-sama!! *sees Jajuka using the one in the room* Umm... could I use one of your portable ones? I kinda lost mine...
>>>>>maybe this can work!
*steps behind Yukari* Excuse me, *looks at Celena* But that necklace belongs to my friend, Yukari. Little brat... just wandering around grabbing things like some kind of child! *glares at Eriya* Yukari is NOT a theif. I have known her for a long time, and she has ALWAYS worn this necklace. It is HERS.
>>>>>defending Yukari
*walks outside into the fray of conflict and sees Allen about to draw his sword against Gatti* Allen Schezar! Are you, a knight of Asturia, truly going to draw your sword against a dragonslayer, an esteemed soldier of Zaibach, the allies of your country? Such actions may be treason. *sees Celena* YOU! *swallows* Dilandau has turned into his origional form? I must inform the wizards of this... *notices the pendant swinging from her hand* The necklace I took from that angry girl there... Oh, this is getting complicated. Come now. We are all allies, and there is no cause for violence. Naria! Eriya! I would like to have a word with the dragonslayer. Please keep things under control. *looks at Gatti* Come with me. *walks off towards an isolated treed part of the courtyard*
>>>>>what's going on?
*looks surprised at the conflict between her sister and the human girl. softly growls* HOW DARE THAT HUMAN CALL FOLKEN-SAMA A THIEF! *turns back to Gatti and hisses.* if you value your life, then leave this place NOW. *is shocked to see the other human, the one allen is holding on to take the pendant.*
>>>>>what is with this pendant?
*ignores the guys and looks at the girls. sees the pendant being jerked back and forth between eriya and yukari.* OOOOOOOOOOO very pretty. *tries to let go of allen, but he is holding on to her hand too tightly. let's go of Gatti and as quick as lighten, snatches the pendent from Eriya. turns to Gatti and smiles.* i like this!
>>>>>very pretty
*clenches his teeth* Let my sister go before I chop your hand off. *puts his free hand on the hilt of his sword.*
>>>>>let go of her you MORON!
*stares at shesta.* You were on the Mystic Moon? We saw you. You, Gatti, Dilandau-sama's sister and that...that angel woman. *glomps Shesta* Man am I ever glad you're back. *looks worried* Nobody can find Dilandau-sama. I've called on the comm but he doesn't answer. *looks worried* I think something bad has happened to him.
>>>>>telling Shesta like it is
Looks sharply at Shesta. "You came back from the Mystic Moon alone?" grrrrrrr this isn't good. "When did you talk with Dornkirk-sama?" Looks over at the comm. "Never mind, I'll just call him." Goes over to the comm.
>>>>>maybe dornk-kirk knows where dilly-boy is
Jajuka, sir! *saluts him and stares at him* I've recieved some news from Dornkirk-sama. He says to tell you, that...Uh...what was I supposed to tell him anyway? *notices everyone's strange looks* What? I went to the Mystic Moon. So did Dilandau-sama's sister, Gatti and urrr Folken's mother? I don't know where Gatti or Celena err.. Dilandau-sama's sister went to though. Or even that other lady. Perhaps Dornkirk-sama knows...
>>>>>just telling them how it is
*smiles polietly at her father and Chid* I see. I guess you are right Father. I'm overjoyed...GGaaaaahhhhhhh!!! I can't believe this is happening so fast! I don't want to get married yet. But I can't tell father that. I don't want to disappoint him or the kingdom.... So, like Chid said, when is the wedding? Yes...tell me how long I have freedom...oh...I'm so depressed. Allen....
>>>>>I'm so unhappy!
Uh, there's Jajuka, Shesta. *points at him and stands behind Dallet* For once, Dallet is using his head! Now if Jajuka just could tell us where Dilandau-sama is... *sighs and feels Shesta pushing him* What is that buffon doing? JERK...pushing me!!
>>>>>what's your deal?
It will be a wonderful wedding Millerna! *smiles brightly at her and gives her a hug* Oh I'm so happy for you! *looks at King Aston and smiles* When is the wedding anyway?
>>>>>congratulating the bride to be
*stares in shock at Yukari* Your..your father gave you that? I think you are wrong little girl. MY Folken-sama would never, ever steal. *snatches the pendant back and fiercly growls at Yukari* You are the THEIF! And this is MINE!
>>>>>I could kill you, you know
*sees the pendant around Eriya's neck* HEY!!! *runs up and yanks it away* This is MINE!! I got this as a birthday gift from my father! *glares furiously at her* That man with the claw stole it from me and gave it away?? The NERVE!!
>>>>>ticked
*also sheathes his sword and gives Naria an expressionless look* WHAT??? What right does SHE have to tell me that I'm ruining things?? After what I've just been through?? Pah. I wasn't aware, *speaking quietly* That I was interfereing wtih anything Folken-sama was doing. I haven't had any control over the recent events. *looks at Van* I will not speak with you. *tries to pull away from Celena, but she's holding tight* But what if she IS Dilandau-sama's sister? How can she be related to Allen then? No, I have to bring her back with me. Naria, I have a different sort of mission here. I must personally ensure the saftey of this girl. *looks at Allen pointedly*
>>>>>bad situation...
*wriggles beside Merle and whispers to her* I don't like the looks of those people either. *looks at Naria and Eriya* They are up to no good.
>>>>>hangin with the kitten
*sheathes his sword as well* Hitomi... *shakes his head and eyes the catwomen* Folken's cats... that means he's not far behind. *frowns* They're frightening Merle... *glares at Gatti* So talk. Why do you have Allen's sister?
>>>>>nervous
*whispers in Gatti's ear* Let go of that girl and get out of here. You're ruining Folken-sama's mission!
>>>>>go away!
*sees Jajuka coming out of one of the rooms. runs over to him.* Hey! We really need to talk with Dilandau-sama. Do you or don't you know where he is?
>>>>>yes or no bub
Continues his search through the Flying Fortress. Doesn't find a trace of Dilandau any where. Drat! I was hoping that they came back here! Feels his chest tightened. If they didn't come back here, then where did they go?
>>>>>dilly-boy - where are you?
*smiles at allen's sword* oooooo pretty. *looks at Van's and Gatti's.* shiney! *frowns as allen puts his sword away. starts to reach for Van's when allen takes her hand. holds on tightly to Gatti's hand. smiles at allen.* You're Allen!
>>>>>i like Gatti too!
*sees naria. edges closer to Van. notices that eriya has joined her sister. both cat women are standing by the dragon slayer. tries to hide behind Van.*
>>>>>trying to be unseen
Oh no! those girls could have gotten killed! *smiles as Allen puts his sword away.* now there's a true knight. pity he's wasn't one of faniela's knights. *sighs and looks at Van* so young.
>>>>>watching the scene
*is shocked by both yukari's and hitomi's actions. frowns* don't they know they could get killed? *notices the cat women.* this is turning from bad to worse. i've got to do something. *smiles at Gatti as he sheaths his sword.* The young ladies are right. We shouldn't fight here. *smiles at celena.* You don't know how happy i am to see you. *reaches and takes celena's hand* Come with me, sister, we have much to talk about.
>>>>>i'm taking MY sister
*frowns as Shesta runs out.* well if that idiot is back, then the others must be back too. *tunes in his NOSE. after much searching, finally comes to Asturia's courtyard.* What? Those fools landed right there? Right at Asturia? *sees the swords drawn, hitomi and yukari in the middle of things, and the cat girls. groans* this is a disaster! everything is ruined, AGAIN!!!!!
>>>>>why me?
Rises to his feet when Millerna comes running in. Listens to the guard and then Folken. "Yes, Strategos. Please check it out. It seems we have some unwanted visitors." Looks back at Millerna and smiles. "Why my dear, you know you are bethroled to Dryden. And you are definately old enough. I think it's high time you settled down. Let's not make that poor man wait any longer for you. I want you married and married as soon as possible." Smiles. "And what a wedding you shall have. They will talk about it for decades!"
>>>>>loves weddings
Please forgive me Dornkirk-sama. I will do what you command imediately! *bows and runs out of the huge room* Has he gone senile? That girl definetly was not Dilandau-sama!! Perhaps his sight is failing... *runs out and sees the flying fortess docked below* And since when does Folken-sama have a draconian mother? I don't think he's a draconian..oh well... *runs on the ship and spots Dallet and Guimel* Guys! Have you seen Jajuka? I have some important orders to tell him from Dornkirk-sama!
>>>>>he's is senile and blind, but I'll do what he says!
Yukari-chan! *runs over to her side* I can't believe she did this...we could be killed... *looks at both Allen and Gatti's faces* Still...I agree with her Yukari-chan is right...there doesn't need to be any bloodshed...
>>>>>standing by her friend
*eyes grow huge* Swords...?? *gasps* Woah!! Don't impale anyone!! *steps between Allen and Gatti* Have you any idea how BARBARIC that is?? It doesn't look like your sister, *looks over at Allen* is hurt or anything! This guy hasn't done anything to her! So don't point your sword at him! And you!!! *looks at Gatti* If you mean no harm, then put your sword away!
>>>>>I don't want to see bloosdhed!!
*stares blankly for a few moments, pondering* That woman... *runs to the front gate of the castle, and stops short at the confrontation building* Umm... I hate to interupt something, but I have some news for the young king here. *looks at Van* I... a woman claiming to be your mother crashed on top of me, told me to tell you she loves you, and then she just... vanished!
>>>>>disturbed
*quietly listens to the guard speaking of trouble* I'll bet that's where Naria and Eryia went... By your leave, your highness, I will investigate the trouble in your courtyard, giving you time to speak with your daughter.
>>>>>if you wouldn't be insulted...
I'm afraid it won't work anymore Miguel. *looks up and notices they are in Zaibach* Woah, look!! We are home? Is Dilandau-sama around? *watches Gumiel and Dallet run off* Man..where are they going? Have I missed something? What's going on?
>>>>>well I'm confuzzled!
Why is she so upset? I thought the wedding was a good thing. I wonder what happened to those cat ladies. The one with the silver hair really looked upset. *waits to hear what Aston will tell Millerna* This is interesting... *hears a guard run in the room, and watches him bow before the king* Eh? What does he want? *hears the guard talking about some trouble in the courtyard* This isn't good!
>>>>>oh dear
I can't believe it!! Why would father set up the wedding, without telling me? What was he going to do? Tell me the day before? Grrrr... *runs into the room where Folken, Grava Aston and Chid are* Father, I would like to speak with you if I may. I think I might have heard this wrong, but I heard that there is going to be a wedding?
>>>>>not very happy
*bows* Excuse me your majesty, Folken-sama. I'm going to check on my sister. I really hate to leave you
