Welcome to Gaia! ::

The Alto's looked down, each one at a time, then looked back up at her.
You're wrong. It isn't blind loyalty. We share a bond, Azuria. Something you will never understand, something you can't understand. Now why are you looking for Andante?

The reploid began to feel anger well up inside of him.
What the ******** is she doing? Is she trying to make me angry on purpose? Hmph, look at her, she thinks she has me trapped... ******** organic, you never cease to disappoint me
All of the Alto's eyes twitched, hearing that remark,
The one in front of her spoke,
Oh no, you don't need to tell me that. I know all about how fickle organics are. You gave me proof as to how weak bonds are - if can even call them that- between organics like you. You just like the rest of them. You've no value of life, always worrying about your pathetic little problems. Love, money, and more money... it sickens me. You used my brother and I, and everyone else in that prison. And then, when you were through, you left us, like some animals in a zoo.
The reploid to the left was shaking with fury. He spoke, his voice struggling to remain calm,
You can't go looking for him. Wherever he is, he's away from you, and others that can do to him what you did. Don't you dare try and enter his life again...

Rather that run or move out of Seven's way, Ember once again did something strange. The elemental fell to her knees, meaning that the reploid would cut right through her chest. Breathing in deeply, Ember's flame from suddenly blazed a bright blue as she waited expectantly for Seven to shoot right through her.

This may have seemed like a suicide to most, but it was actually a calculated strategy. Part of why it hurt Ember to let things pass though her flame form was due to the fact that it took more energy and concentration for her to keep her body together. However, if the elemental opted to not try and contain the flames that created her form, then the object passing through her would take bits of the flames with it as it left. The larger the object, the more flames that went with it. Despite the fact that they were no longer connected to her body, Ember still maintained complete control over the bits, and they could not be removed from the object or put out unless the object was entirely submerged in water or Ember called the pieces back. As long as Ember stayed in her elemental form, she wouldn't feel the pain of the flame's separation; however, as soon as she called the flames back and returned to normal the pain would be momentarily overwhelming. Ember rarely used this form of attack due to the fact that most people would not charge her while she was in her elemental state.

Counting on the fact that Seven wouldn't know about this attack, Ember was hoping that the reploid would continue her charge. Once she passed though Ember's body, large amounts of flame would be almost permanently attached to Seven. Ember could then melt the reploid from the outside in, and do a number of other nasty things to her opponent.

Azuria's smiled, with a sweet sickening look, then stepped close to the Alto that spoke, until she was mere inches from his face.
"That's too bad." She whispered icely, then ran her metallic finger down the scar on his cheek.
She was careful making sure if he moved to swing at her, that the plants would quickly secure him down as she spoke, each word barely above a whisper.
"I freed you. I gave you purpose. I let you live. You needed me. And it was at my mercy I stayed as long as I did.
"You see Alto, if you had just left me alone..." her fingers grabbed at the back of his neck, forcing him to look at her, "I would have never lifted a finger to stop you or who ever is holding your leash. But you didn't.. you were stupid, went to go find me personally... and now guess what? I have a new goal."
She seemed to have lost it a bit as she chuckled softly, "You're mine, and you always will be Alto, even if I have to kill you to prove it."
She let go of his neck and allowed her hand to slide down to his shoulder. There was something definately wrong, the way she acted, the sound of her voice, the look on her face, but she didn't seem to be making any attempt to contain this part of her.
"But you're not ready yet."
And with that she grabbed down hard on his shoulder, connecting her knee with his chest, then throwing him against the Alto on the left so that the two collided.
A moment later she kicked the Alto in the middle hard in the chest, sending him flying back, and all three were suddenly being held down by the ice eating plants.

Azuria watched him amused, as the plants twisted around him, not to hurt but to mock him.
Once the one who had spoken was secured down she walked forward, resting her foot on his chest and looked down.
"There was a time in my life, yours too, that I had balance. It made me sane, allowed demon and human to live together peacefully, but now....."
"HELP!"
Azuria blinked a few times, then raised her head, looking in the direction of the ice prison. In her fury she had forgotten Hector.
"Please! Someone help!"
Looking down at Alto her face twisted, she was trying to tell him something important, but she was forgetting fast.
Taking a step back, she hesitated, glancing in Sith's direction and hoping beyond hope he would step in if Alto attacked. The wild look in her eyes was gone, and she almost seemed to be shaking with fear as she turned away from Alto.
And with nothing more than the sound of Hector's voice, she was human again.
In this time the plants weakened around Alto, withering away and nearly dying.
"Hold on Hector, I'm comming." She said softly, it was her old voice speaking, all demon like qualities gone.
With that one of the grey plants tore through ice prison, revealing a shaking Hector, who Azuria quickly pulled out before Alto was back on his feet.
He clung to her like a child, never being so sure he was going to die in his life and she softly rested her hands on his shoulders, hushing him softly, and yet out of the corner of her eye watching Alto carefully.

As soon as Seven stopped, Ember hissed once; however, it was merely a hiss of annoyance. With a roar, the elemental exploded just as the reploid shouted. Ember hadn't believed that Seven would go for the bait of her first attack, so she had already planned her next move. When the elemental had turned blue, she hadn't merely been heating herself up. Ember had been spreading her hearts flame all over her body. Heart's Flame is essentially Ember's own essence or life force, and it was what held her together. With her Heart's Flame centered in her fire form, it kept her together; however, over the years Ember had learned how to control this part of her self and even begun to spread it threw out her form. The result of the spread was that Ember's main form split in to bits of scattered flame, but this was still the same nearly indestructible flame that Ember controlled normally and the bits naturally took on the appearance of Ember's flame self with wings. In essence, Ember had learned how to copy herself. All of the Ember's shared the same mind like a hive; however, each copies power did lesson with the split, but together they had the same power as Ember herself.

About a hundred 4" Ember's now floated around the clearing, looking almost like crazy kamikaze pixies. With feral grins they all shouted en-mass "READ THIS YOU ******** ROBOT!!!" Then they began to shoot off in different directions around the clearing. Half of the mini Ember's quickly began to burn the forest deadfall in a rough circle around the reploid, coaxing the flames in to a blaze and sending them towards Seven. The other half of the Ember's zipped in between the hurtling debree, lighting whatever they could on fire. Soon, the bits of moss and debree were only adding to the flames on the forest floor, and a few of the Ember's were even zipping back and forth to Seven's shied and beginning to steam away the water in the mud. It was obvious that the little Embers were still getting hit with the rocks and mud Seven hurled every where, but it wasn't doing much good. As soon as the disturbing little creatures got hit, they would fall to the ground and inadvertently light more of the forest deadfall on fire; then with a quick hiss and a shake they would be back in the air again.

Forte was standing at his potium, listening intently to what another representative was saying about the amount of finances their nation should put into the military, and how much others should help in donating, when the cloaked bodyguard whispered in his ear. Forte nodded, and the cloaked bodyguard bowed and walked away, out of the Senate's hearing, and outside to one of the many balconies that surrounded the domed structure.
"Seven... you were doomed from the beginning..."
He stared out into the distance, it looked as though a very low star were shinning in the distance.
"...However... your contributions to this dream are immortal. In your honor I will defend this dream with my life."
The star seemed to be getting closer, but the bodyguard knew better. Sevens life had just been ended, and the proof of that was heading right towards him.
