Welcome to Gaia! ::

A small figure crept though the dark hallways of the facility of which it had been transported to. It was the little major, with both her katanas draw, her servo-tail drill trailing her, and her probe Thomas scanning everything.

"Sure, I always gotta be put in these situations, don't I?" the major began,"Thank goodness I am trained well with these weapons, otherwise I might be afraid, eh Thomas?" No response from her probe, but she wasn't expecting one either. It had been sometime since she had gotten herself together and started exploring. The teleporter map she had did not cover the place she was in, and being lost she began to search around for a way back.

Comming across a door leading outside, SFB step out. The view was amazing. She was atop a very large building on one of the platforms. However, after a few minutes of searching, she could not see any islands in sight. Sighing, she stepped back from where she was viewing, noticing that the storm clouds began to shift. It looked like she would have to go back in for now, as a storm was brewing.

As SFB turned around, a small flash of lightning lit up the hallway, just enough for her to see a small shadow move. Then the sound of glass breaking. "Gotcha" the major said to herself. Turning on Thomas' hunter program, she quickly ran after her target on the radar. Darting though hallways, up and down stairs, the major followed the fast moving shadow all over the complex. Finally the chase ended at a door. The major, not having any other choice, ignored the fact that a trap may have been set, and openned the door.

The door flew open and the little major dashed in with katana's drawn, only to hear a sound she was not expecting. "DON'T HURT ME PLEASE!" The major was stunned. It was a little girl she had been chasing. "Just what the hell is going on here?" The major inquired.

Lady Zelda shut up,a bit ticked that she idn't kno what was out there.She hated not knowing things.
She resisted the urge to sigh, and followed quitely. Things were going to get dangerous... REALLY dangerous...
Ten bucks says someone gets kidnapped.She thought.

After some time the little major got the little green hair girl to calm down. SFB had learned that the girl's name was Lika, and that she was one of the original inhabitants of this world. However, that is all the info she could really get from the girl.

After eating some food, and a little more lite chatting with the girl, SFB finally decided to get to the point. "Lika" she began,"can you tell me anything about what happen to your world?" "No, not really. I was too young, but I might have something that would help." Lika produced a small blue crystal. "My brother gave this to me, and told me to give it to somebody I thought could help" she finished.

"What is it?" the major asked. "It's a journal crystal" Lika responded. "Ok, well let's see what we got" the major finished. With Lika, the major proceeded to a room with a viewing screen. Lika took the crystal and placed it in a strange gadget, and the screen began to play.

"Hello" a voice began to speak,"if you are viewing this, then my world has been taken by them. What follows is a complete recording of news cast about what happen to our world leading up to the point where the rest of us went into hiding. Please, if you are some race or people that can help us, use this information as a weapon against them. Otherwise, you might loose your world too." "That was my brother's voice" Lika said, slightly teary eyed.

The screen lit up and a woman in some sorta formal gear appeared on the screen. "Welcome people, this is the Atra-world news. I'm Rona, and tonight's top story is a big one. Under the main island of Corstra scientist have found what appears to be a gate. They have theorized that this gate may actually be a door way to the rest of the universe. Many people around our world wonder what will this mean for our people."

The screen darkend, and then came back with Ms.Rona again. "Hello again for Atra-world news. Tonight we skip introductions and go right to today's big news. Five years after it's discovery, scientist have been able to activate the gate. However, soon after it's openning, an alien race came though to greet our people, and welcome us to the universe. After some diplomatic exchanges, our president has been invited to their world to meet with their leader. Could this be the beginning of a new universal treaty between our peoples?"

The screen darkend again. However, this time a very worried Rona appeared on screen. "And to other news, the world president has been off world for over three weeks now, with no contact. This might be because of a rather strange occurance with thre gate. It seems as the gate has been openning randomly since the president left, with nothing comming though. Scientist are baffled by this strange turn of events, but assure us that they will get to the bottom of this."

Once again the screen darkened. This time a very nervous and tired looking Rona appeared. "Hello people of Atra-fons, I am interuping your current program to bring you news that another 5,000 people have gone missing. Scientist have determined that this might be linked to the gate's on and off activity. It is unknown what has actually happened to these people, or our president, but a newly elected government staff has assembled a military team to gaurd the gate."

The screen went off, and back on it came. This time Ms.Rona was not there but another woman. "Hello people of Atra-fons, as you may know, the entire planetary defense force has dissappeared, along with 75% of our remaining population. However, what you may not know is that this is the work of those alien bastards that came to our world. They are here, all around us. Invisible. They come and take us in our sleep though the gate. Beware everyone. Lock your doors, and hide. They are comming. They are..." Her words were cut short when a shot was fired in the studio and the screen went to black.

"Well, just when you thought things couldn't get worse, you run into something like this" the little major said looking down at the scared little girl who was holding her hand.

"Don't look at me, I did not major on alien tech, and when things don't work I tend to blast them. I should go first though, see if everything is clear so you guys can go through. We shouldn't head into danger..." saying that, she stepped into the pad, and Lady Zelda started moving the controls, lights started flashing at the edge of the pad, and Snow White was transported out of there.

Arriving at the new platform, Snow White was actually surpirsed. This island was just as big as the one she had been, but it was covered by a city. The pad was in what it looked like, a park. Although it was empty, the city was lighten, as if it was left suddenly. The radio channel, was open, and scanning the area, she communicated with major Jupiter.
"Major, Snow White calling. The place seems empty, so it should be safe to travel here. It is a city, so we might be able to find something useful."

Nin, still next to the gate, brings up his radio to his mouth.
"Hello, this is everyones favorite ninja. Can anyone read me?"
He asked, hoping to get a quick response.

Lady Zelda quickly followed, nodding quickly. She tried to kept the talking to a minium, and a 'looking out for creepy dangerous creatures' alertness to a maximum.
She had a bad feeling about this, but tried to hold the fear back.
