Searching..

[ouka]

Tifa jerked awake, her eyes opening suddenly, but she immediatly regretted it. They began to water, and she coughed as she pushed herself off the ground, wiping a gloved hand over her eyes. What had happened? She remembered being at the '7th Heaven' bar and all of the sudden... She gasped and looked around her. She was still inside the bar, almost everything untouched and unmoving. Literally, unmoving. She stared at the inhabitants, which seemed frozen in their actions, their eyes lifeless.

What the hell happened..?

Tifa couldn't remeber falling asleep, so she came to the conclusion that she must have fainted or something. She dusted herself off and looked around. Everything was so... quiet, it was eerie. She stood there, in the middle of the bar, not sure what to do.

[Kail Lancaster]

A young teen walks in to the bar. The teen's gender was hard to tell if it was a he or a she. The teen's hair came down past his knees. His attire was a long black sleve shirt a grey mini vest a pair of black shorts that stoped a few inches above the knee,black tights where underneith the shorts,and to top it all off he had a pair of white knee high boots. The teens blue eyes locked on to Tifa's brown eyes and then speaks.

"So someone has reawakened"the voice said as it was some what male then continues "I'm sorry where are my maners my name is Kail and your name miss" Kail asked niceily as walks over to the confused fighter.

[ouka]

Tifa seemed to stunned by the situation in the room to fully comprehend that there was someone else there. She jumps at the sound of his voice, and turns around cautiously, eyeing him. He seems nice enough, she thought, but still stayed where she was. "Tifa.." Was her one-word answer.

[Kail Lancaster]

"Ok then Tifa I have no intention of harming you" Kail said as he tryed to ease her a bit then continues "If you have any questions on what has happened to this world just me,I was here when time here was stoped" he said and waits for Tifa's reply to him.

[ouka]

Tifa pauses, frowning as she looked around the bar once more, examining each and every petrified face. "Then... what has happened here?" She says hesitantly.

[Kail Lancaster]

"I will explane to you what has happend here to the best of my knowlage" Kail said then sits down at the bar then continues. "A psycho Demi God caused this in his search for the cryrstals to bring back to life his love,but thats not the only thing this this monster has done he has destroyed two other realitys in his lust for power" he said to Tifa as he then wiats for her reply.

[ouka]

"Crystals? Demi-God? Who is he?" Tifa found it very difficult to understand what was going on. Fist she wakes up to find her friends stunned and now someone here is talking about an evil demi-god who destroys realities and crystals. She actually brought her gloved hands to her head and rubbed her temples, thinking maybe it was just a dream.

[L]

A hand reaches out for Kail from a dark portal behind him. It grabbed Kail's sleeve and pulled him aside. Suddenly a man in a black and white outfit as well as a red scarf walked out of the darkness. His face remained apathetic and was playing around with a deck of cards. His eyes was green on one side while red on the other. His hair was also half black and half white. "Tifa. Don't listen to him. The psycho demi-god who this man accuses is actually Zack. All he wants is to bring back Aerith. And it wasn't us that destroyed two realities, it was this man's group that did!" He pointed at Kail accusingly.

"Come with me and I'll bring you to a safe haven. Then Zack and I will let you decide if you want to join us or not." His voice remained cold as his glanced shifted from Tifa to Kail and back again. "I'm Kyon. I was experiment 666 under Shinra's laboratories. Zack saved me. Please, right now we are trying to find Cloud and others in order to bring back Aerith to life." He pleaded, a feeling of serenity was in his voice.

[Remember. Do what you're character will do. Not what you think you should do ]

[ouka]

Tifa's eyes narrowed as she watches as the portal opens, she instinctively takes a step back and raises her fists. She wasn't sure what to make of this guy, but she slightly lowered her hands when he mentioned Zack and Aerith. She frowns and glances at Kail for a second, not sure what to make of the situation.

But this man knew about Cloud and Aerith.. surely he must be some kind of ally. Nevertheless, she asks, "How is Zack alive? Cloud told me he died.." She says, somewhat dejectedly.

[L]

Kyon crosses his arms and stared at her, "He was revived at Shinra. He gained tremendous powers, one of which he could bring Aerith back. But he needs to use a little bit of everyone's lifeforce in order to do it. As well as we need those Crystals' powers, not all of it but some of it. But...a group opposes us who wants the Crystals to destroy all realities. Tifa, we need your help so we could find Cloud and bring back Aerith!" He pleaded again, holding out his hand for her to join him. "Do not be afraid of my darkness, light is within me as well."

[ouka]

Tifa frowned and looked at Kail again, once again unsure of what to do. She lowers her fists in response, tilting her head as she examined Kyon once more. She had tons of questions to ask, how was Zack revived? How would he be able to revive Aerith? What are these Crystals?

She rolled her shoulders, perhaps Zack will answer them. "...Alright. Where is he?"

[L]

Kyon smiled warmly at her. He then created a portal behind her and crossed his arms as he waited for her to enter. "This will lead you to Zack. Do not mention Aerith around him though, he is still in grief of her death." He nodded towards her and turned to face Kail, "You go while I face this injustice man. I will have to eliminate him in order to save the worlds. Now go!" He said, pointing to the portal. Suddenly cards swirled around Kyon and walked towards Kail, "You will die here. You will die like Squall." He said quietly under his breath that only Kail could hear.

[ouka]

Tifa hesitated again, looking over her shoulder at the dark portal behind her. She hated making these kinds of decisions, surely she was making the right choice. She took a glance back at Kail again, a frown appearing on her face again. Her curiosity got the better of her though, so she turned and entered the portal. Zack was Cloud's best friend, anyway, wasn't he?

[Kail Lancaster]

"Tifa do not trust these guys there the one's I was talking about there pure evil " Yelled Kail as he takes out palm sized crystal that takes the form of two short swords and attacks Kyon with a cross slash.

[L]

"Too late." Kyon closed the portal before Kail's words could be heard. With relative ease, he blocked the slash with the dozens of cards surrounding the second-in-command. "Besides we're not evil. None of us see ourselves as evil. Zack just wants to bring Aerith back. There is still a chance to bring back the other realities. So don't think of us as heartless beings. We're only using their life-force. But it's people like you who accuses others their beliefs are stronger. Face it pal...life is not only black and white." He jumped backwards and created a whip-like weapon using his cards. It was several feet long, and so Kyon lashed it out towards Kail. With such an enclosed space, it nearly impossible for Kail to dodge the attack unscathed.

[Kail Lancaster]

As the attack comes at Kail he brings the swords in to a cross and takes some damage from the attack. He had several cuts all over as the cards sliced him up a bit. "What you may say might be true,but you and Zack killed over a trillion of people to get what you needed and that does not sit well with me" Kail said as he activeate his Mars rune.

Kail's hair is now the same shade of red as Reno's as the runic mark of Mars is now glowing on Kail's forehead. The two swords are now glowing red as they where tied to Kail's power. "Now take this, Mars Wildfire Blaze" he yelled as he slams both swords into the floor and sends waves of fire at Kyon as each one is coming from difrant directions so it would be hard to doge the attack that Kail made.

[L]

"They're not dead. They're merely in limbo. Neither dead..nor alive. But their life-force being used by us." Kyon explained as he then made a dome of several enlarged cards to block the flames. The wave of flames burnt through the cards but Kyon was unharmed. "Humph...surely you can't beat me with that kind of trick." Suddenly more cards appeared out of his sleeves and fluttered in front of Kail clustered together. The second-in-command then snapped his fingers, making the clustered cards explode. The entire bar was now broke and burned. Kyon got up from a pile of broken furniture and crossed his arms and surrounded himself with cards again.

[Kail Lancaster]

Kail seamed phased by the attack but he got stronger as the Mars rune glowed stronger as his rune absorbed some of the fire and turned it in to power. Kail reforms the swords in to one long sword and comes at Kyon like a rocket he also grabs some ashes in his free hand. He brings the sword down again on Kyon again as the sword now looks like it was made out of pure flame. If Kyon blocked the attack he would throw the ash in to Kyon's face to blind him for a short time again if it gets blocked it would distract him a bit and it might make him open for another attack.

[L]

"You play the game quite well.." Suddenly a large card appears in front of Kyon and then moves swiftly out of the way of Kail's attack. Suddenly more larger cards appeared and floated around,then quickly racing around Kail like a hurricane. Another card appeared twenty feet away from Kail and Kyon made his return. "As long as I have my cards, I am a master at Melee and Range attacks. Give it up!" He remained calm and he covered his chin and mouth with his right hand as if he were in thought. "You and your friends are no match for us if you are this weak."

[Kail Lancaster]

"Ok time to change runes put what would be a good rune to take this guy out hhhhmmm I think my Saturn rune might help me here" he thought as he changed runes.Kails hair color is now purple and the rune mark of Saturn is now on Kail's forehead. The weapon has taken the form of a swallow.

"Saturn Bullet Time" called out Kail as time seams to slow down around them. Kail comes at Kyon again but 10 times faster then before as he gets in close he takes a slash at Kyon and follows up with another slash as he used the moumentum from the frist strike to land another blow. Even if Kyon could raise his card barrier his movements would be quite slugish as Kail used his Rune's magic of controling time to slow Kyon down and made Kail a lot faster than Kyon right now.

[L]

"Impressive. But not enough..." Kail forgot to notice that cards were swirling around at quick pace, even if Kyon was slower it did not matter because the cards were all around and their wasn't enough free movement to begin with. A large card appears in front of Kail with his first slash but he managed to cut it through, but the delay gave Kyon enough time to dodge it. Now on the second time was different, "I can't kill you yet Kail. So please wait haha." He created a dark portal below him and was quickly absorbed into it. It closed up as soon as all of Kyon was through it and he would arrive at his base.

[Kail Lancaster]

"Damn it he got away,great time to leave" Kail cuts a hole in space and heads back to Ivalice to Balthier and his group.
