<Trey> <Celeith>
The Eidolon's continued their rampage, one by one esper warrior fell into the snow covered field of Dezolis.. Now stained with blood. "Support units! Cast Warla! Ranged Units! Keep them at their position by casting Flaeli and Hewn.. Everyone else! Cha-" He commanded, only to have his words cut off by a Eidolon's attack. Quickly dodging the blow, he gripped his knife and jumped. The blade split the beast in half, its body falling to the ground.
"So this is what you meant Luna.." He mumbled to himself. Wiping the blood off his blade he commanded the espers once again to charge, while keeping support from the back lines. It seemed like a bloodbath on this day, one by one Esper and Eidolon would fall, pointless killing for pointless reasons. "Twenty-Five, Twenty-Six." The number were counted, Celeith had slain that many with her whip.
"Celeith! Look out!" Trey yelled, noticing his friend being attacked from behind. The espers behind couldn't fire fast enough at the beast, their sights set on the hordes coming from the hill. Sheathing his daggers he pulled out two slashers, the blades shining. "Luna, Gaia, don't miss!" He said, hurling the slashers with great strength. The beast rose its weapon, stopping as the two slashers gashed its back.
"What!?" Celeith thought, quickly reacting she took the beast down in its stunned state. "Thanks! Alright everyone, move forward!" Celeith yelled.. The front lines charged into the frey once again, a small group was seen on the other side of the Eidolon's giving support to the mansion. "Who could that be?" Trey thought to himself, placing the slashers back in their supports and re-drawing the daggers.
<Mint> <Misty>
The group was giving a small support from behind to the Esper's of the mansion. Misty flew inside the crystal on Mint's chest, helping her cast techniques. "Zan!" She yelled, large piercing winds surrounded the beasts.. "IF anyone knows a fire tech or something similar now would be a good time to create a Fire-Storm!" Misty's voice echoed through the minds of the group.
<Sani>
A large golden building stood before Sani, the doors destroyed, the halls shattered. Sani made her way into the building, a voice speaking to her.
"Select location for transport." The voice spoke to her. She looked around, not knowing where the voice came from. "What kind of game is this?" She yelled out. "Location not found... Please select location for transport." The voice repeated. "I don't understand?" She thought to herself.
"Think of it like a large Ryuka, but instead can transport you anywhere in the universe." A voice spoke to her.. She looked around, drawing the Nei-Sword, a ghostly figure appeared out of the wall. "Who are you!?" She asked.. The figure walked towards her.. "I am Rela, the creator of this device. When the galaxy was first created there was a battle between the Great Light and Profound Darkness. A seal was made after the darkness was defeated, three planets were created. This device would allow travel for special people to those three planets."
"Just think of a place.. Thats all you need to do." Rela said to Sani. Sani thought for a moment.. "So if I was to say I wanted to go to Esper Mansion on Dezolis then I..."
"Esper Mansion.... Locked... Comencing Transport Now.." The device said. The designs on the ground glowed, a bright yellow light surrounded Sani, her body began feeling light as she disappeared.
The ghostly figure stood there, another appeared behind her. "So Vahn, it seems we've changed over the centuries huh." Rela asked.. The other figure didn't speak a word.. Only nod his head as the two disappeared.

(Sara)
"Oh, God, please..." Sara knelt down besides Chris, raising her sword defensively as she reached towards him with her free hand. "Please... be all right. Gi Res!"
Healing energy rushed from her hand and started to surge through Chris. Just at that moment, one of the Eidolons jumped towards Sara, grinning malevolently as it slashed.
Sara screamed. She could feel her clothing and skin being cut, and blood rushing from a fresh cut on her stomach. Through her pain, she nearly dropped her sword as she collapsed beside Chris.
(Nara)
Nara still carried the gravely wounded Esper across her shoulders, trying to find a sanctuary so he could be healed.
(Kyle and Dorn)
"So how the hell do you know so much about these!?" Kyle shouted as Dorn dragged him towards Trey's dwindling group of Espers. The Fuu-type Eidolon was still chasing them, despite its massive wounds.
"I actually paid attention to my teachings!" Dorn continued towards Trey with Kyle, adding, "Basically, these Eidolons... they're something that the Third Lutz tried to use in an effort to protect Algo. Basically, Biomonsters."
"Just like a thousand years ago," Kyle realized.
"Yeah. Only, uh... it didn't exactly work out. They're a lot bigger and meaner than normal Biomonsters, and the Third Lutz did his best to get rid of them all. Problem is, something- probably Sha-Vare- brought them back to life." Dorn sighed. "This is part of the 'We Don't Talk About This' file."
"I see. So, how do we kill them?"
"There's usually a trick to it."
Chris
His eyes opened slightly, he saw a shadow fall beside him. He looked. He saw Sara. He looked at the creature that struck her down, it was still coming towards. He grabbed his daggers and dropped his backpack. He threw a knife into the neck of th creature. It laughed at him.
His head hurt and it was hard to concentrate. "What the hell is this thing?" He managed to say out loud. A voice in his head said to him, Use the Shot of Fate. Concentrate. Keep calm. And keep all concentration on your target.
"That voice." Chris said thinking a moment. The Eidolon came charging at Chris. He jumped and kicked the creature in the head causing it to shift balance. Without thinking, Chris stood back and aimed his knife at the creature's head. Arm extended point faced to the target. The target was all Chris concentrated on.His breathing slowed, all the noises around Chris came to a minimum. Everything was blacking out except the target, which seemed to grow to the point where it seemed to magnify.
Chris began whispering, "Lend me your power Shayne, goddess of fate."The knife began to glow " Show me the Shot of Fate. Only then will victory come to pass. Release!" A beam of light came streaming from the end of the dagger. It continued on growing brightter and brighter. Then it turned into a single beam which went through the head of the Eidolon. It continued on and touched a wall. It stopped and Chris was aware of everything again, including the headache.
He fell to his knees, he looked up at the creature who screamed in pain, before exploding into oblivion. The wall behind exploded. The voice came back, You are only allowed to use this skill, 3 times a day, that was the first. Chris slipped into darkness as the headache took over.
Jakob/ Skylar
Skylar drew his second messenger dagger. "Just like old times Jake." Skylar said to his comrade. "You can't be Skylar," Was all Jakob replied before charging towards the mother Eildolon.
Raysomi
He awoke in a dark room. A voice whispered in his ear. "Find your brother Vahn. You will know who he is. Remind him of his roots, my son." The darkness faded into white as Raysomi stood up. He looked beside himself, there was a new axe. It was black with a crimson red trim. In blood red on the handle were letters. They spelt, Blood Axe. Picking it up Raysomi could feel the power. He walked out of the room.
Where had he ended up? He looked around, a creature came running towards him. "An Eidolon eh?" Raysomi swung his axe with brute force, slicing the creature in two, "cutting paper with scissors." Raysomi smiled a demonic smile. He liked the new power, "Shadow, Rain, let's clean up this mess." The three charged into the massacre.
Sane
He had climbed a few too many floors in this tower. He was surprised when the monsters weren't attacking him, if anything, they were showing him the way to Sha-Vare. "Has to be a trap," he would say to himself many times on the way there. He reached the final floor, the creature showed him the door to Sha-Vare, then it walked away.
Sane rested his sword on his shoulder before walking in. He heard a familiar voice. "Sane my boy," Sha-Vare said. "Would you like a drink?"
Sane just stared at the man. Then he said, "Tonight, one of us is to die. Tonight I take back Soma, Algo, and peace."

<Trey> <Celeith>
One by one the Eidolon's continued to fall. Trey's plan to defend the mansion was working.. But all was not safe yet.. "Wren.. Wren can you hear me?" Saying into the tiny communicator he had brought through the void with him. The only sound that came through was the loud screeching noise of static. The front lines were holding off the oncoming hordes.. Blasts of Flaeli were coming from behind burning each of the Eidolon's.
"They can't keep this up Trey!" Ceieth yelled, slaying another one of the beasts with her whip. Slightly nodding his head he tried to get in contact with Wren once again. "Trey.. can you hear me.. This is Demi, Wren's assistant.. Wren is currently patrolling the space around Parma.. Can I be of assistance." The voice of a young sounding girl spoke through the communicator.
Side-swiping the beast Trey stayed low to the ground, blasts of Flaeli passing over his head. "Demi, Demi can you hear me? Esper Mansion is under attack.. We need some help.. Is there anything you can do?" He spoke. One of the beasts managed to get close to Trey, looking up his eyes widened as the beast slammed him into the ground.
The beast howled into the air, only to have itself silence by a strong wind from behind.. Mint and the rest of the group was coming quickly up the hill. "Trey, there is not much I can do from here, I'm patching into the climcontrol on Dezolis.. Master Wren's new creations, the Orak type androids are stationed there.. They should be arriving in less then ten minutes.." The android's words spoke through the communicator.
Picking himself up one of the espers from the back lines ran towards Trey. "Medice!" The young man said.. Trey's wounds slowly healed, a large beast fell from the sky. Looking up Trey jumped out of the way.. But the young man wasn't fast enough.. The snow flew into the sky, when it cleared the beast stood there devouring the young man that helped Trey.
"Damn.. These beasts are merciless." Picking himself up he said silently.. With anger in his eyes his hand began glowing a bright light.. He lunged the ball into the air towards the wave of enemies.. "LEGEON!!" He yelled out.. Swiping his hand he squeezed his fist tightly.. The ball of light scattered into thousands of explosions across the oncoming enemy.
"You ok Trey?" Celeith asked, as she ran to his side.. They faced back to back, waiting for anymore enemies to approach them.. "I'm fine.. Just a little tired.. Haven't had any rest in the last few days is all.. Nothing big Celeith." Panting he said.. Always keeping a smile on his face he held his daggers tightly waiting for the next attack.
