I drove up to the unexpected visitors, "Hello, I am Pentigan, you are at Gambino Island, 5 minutes ride west of the Marketplace to be exact."

I chuckled. "That we are. We chased that girl through most of Gambino Isle... which, frankly, is ridiculous, since it's Pent's body we're dealing with." I sighed and leaned on Pent's right handlebar. "Hey... is Draxio dead?" I asked curiously. The smoke hadn't cleared yet, and the gold that was naturally in Isle de Gambino's sand reflected the light residue, making it impossible to see through the smokescreen.

"What? eek Dead.... Then... cry " Was she dead? My scanners picked up brainwaves, Draxio's... She was alive! But... I heard her thoughts... "Pent, please tell your friends to stop trying to kill me, I give up, I surrender."

Luna looked around. Nothing much has really changed at all, for all she knew. "Uh huh, chamred I'm sure. Why did we land here?" She asked the men.

"...surrender?"
I blinked. This wasn't the Draxio I knew. Draxio would fight till the very end.
"Drax... is that really you? Are you back on our side again?" I blinked. Tenshi must have corrupted her... or even possessed her. Well.
"Glad you're on our side, I guess." I grinned and ran my hand through my hair, then heard the girl who had been attached to Kiga say something.
She looked a lot like... that other girl. From the party, then the Reclamation Facility.
Ah well. Coincidence.
"I sent a distress signal to Kiga back at GiW HQ, so he knew where to find me. We kinda have history." Kiga was the only person that had stood between Sentinel and Gaia during the Halloween '09 Crisis, and I had been the right-hand man and prime assassin for his makeshift forces. Even though we lost, Jack ended the feud... but now a new one. The Saikyou Crisis.
"I'm Agent Darkangel, Classified N.E.E.W.D. operative of the GiB. Pleased." I grinned and bowed slightly, letting Pent get on with his Draxian reunion.

"What do you mean give up?" I said over a private comm link I established. "All I want is this new body, it was a shame it had to be yours, I want to help, T3N541 might destroy the GIB and then... Well... I can't help you get a new body then..." Draxio said. She wanted to get me a new body? After being compressed in my mind since that rampage through the base trying to kill Dalvar back in Syncophant she still wasn't trying to kill me? Driving up to Draxio I carefully balenced as she hopped on, she wasn't going to run though, I had disabled the manual controls.

Luna nodded. "I see. We need all the help we can get then." She stated, turning to Kiga. "What do we do Kiga?" She asked the only person that she have and will listen to.

He was silent all the time since he arrived, not turning and doing much of a gesture far beyond stepping off from the possessed Draxio.
A victim from Tenshi? Well, she was fine now... who ever she was. Or he... it had remnants of being from both sides...
Then again, that didn't matter anything. He placed his hammer on his back, allowing to carry Veila better. Even with that impact, he had managed to keep her clenched tightly for her not to fall. He held her like a lost wounded child, which was mostly how she was on her current condition.
Walking a small distance, perhaps some 10 meters from his place and away from both agents and Luna, he placed the girl on his arms to the ground, sighing slightly. Poor Veila, all she had done to bring him there...
Now it was his turn.
Silently turning, what small expression could be seen through his helmet being cold, he approached the agent in black, swiftly raising the hammer at them menacingly. Not quite the cheery salute they might have been expecting from the Hero of the Stars.
"Where is Tenshi?" he asked coldly, eyes fixiated on the agent. The GiB where going to be in a great mess if they didn't knew.
(fix'd )

(There's only one agent here, that's me. Pent is a data stream living in my motorcycle. o3o)
"Easy, bro..." I eyes Kiga with a bit of confusion. He must be under a heavy Focus Spell... adrenaline injection? Testosterone?
Whatever. This made our job easier.
"I don't know where she is, Kiga. That's why we need you. You might be able to sense her through your parallel tessellation." I was referring to the fact that Kiga and Tenshi were two parallel beings in different universes, essentially two parts of the same soul. The emptiness in their soul was occupied by their soul-armors, completing them.
I grinned and nodded at Pent, who was talking to Draxio in hushed tones. They'd get over it.

"If I knew where she was, either by the tessellation or location via armor... I wouldn't be here, would I?" he replied, eyes and hammer in the same position as before. If anything, he wanted to beat the crap out of something now. Finish this before ...
Wait..
When he thought the 5 minutes of power rush would go on forever, he felt it again. Pain, his wounds, his own body weight. From being a god-like being, he quickly returned to be a mere mortal, with a heavy weight upon him.
"Nggh..."
He fell on a knee, using the hammer as something to rely on, but soon, even that turned to be too heavy for him.
At the end, as his hammer fell to the floor, the armor vanished in a veil of light, revealing a quite wounded Kiga who had now his time over. The star on his forehead at some point pleading to black out due the stress, flickering softly.
"...Tell me where she is. . . or you'll. . ." he said within pants, heavy pants, as if he where having a much heavier armor than he had right now. He was later unable to finish the sentence as much as he wanted, finally collapsing in the floor, hardly breathing.

"KIGA!" Luna screamed, kneeling down next to him. She went to check his pulse. Her expression fell, hope seemed grim. She growled at Sharad. "You, get a docter here, now! Or else you'll be lying next to him, in a worse condition." She warned. She shook Kiga a bit, trying to keep him awake, so he wouldn't go into coma. "I swear, if you die on me, I'll follow you to Hell and kill you again." She said, in a more sad than angery tone.

Driving over to the collapsed person I activated my bioscanner mode, "Hm... Large energy shock, huge wounding to the face, arms, legs, well pretty much everywhere, ooh, interesting... Wait... No... It can't... Tenshi?"

"Crud."
I kneeled down beside the fallen hero and started the air-to-Kiga energy transfer immediately. Same as the case of my Omnipurge, the air froze in delicate spirals and settled on the ground, melting instantaneously into the ground and killing all the grass it touched. My fingers started to feel numb, but Kiga's wounds were slowly healing... but visibly healing. That's what mattered.
"Oh... Pent. You must be picking up the parallelism between Kiga and Tenshi." Tenshi's identity was in KazeRyuu's data bank, so Kiga (who was the most genetically and spiritually similar to Tenshi) would be an obvious match.
After a few minutes, I had to stop and warm my hands over the cigarette lighter on the KazeRyuu's dashboard. "Damn... this hurts." A pile of frozen air was accumulating on the grass around Kiga, but his wounds had healed past the fatal stage. He'd have to make it the rest of the way with normal medical treatment... this hurt.

Luna was trying to think as fast as she could. "Why are you just standing there?" She asked Sharad. "Someone has to heal him." She said, being more of a nervous wreck, by every second.
Lena continued to watch from the shadows, feeling what Luna was feeling. She put a hand on her chest and sensed how intense Luna's pain was, becouse it was also her pain. "That women, why do I feel the same that she does?" She thought to herself.

It was strange. The entire world was crumbling around the citizens of Gaia, and some people continued down the street as if nothing had ever happened. This citizen was not one of the blissfully unaware, however. White hair was plaited into a braid behind her and horn rimmed glasses sat on her nose, a little too wide for her face. Narrow eyes behind them appraised the group, and with her flip-flops clapping against the floor, she approached them. Her voice was halting at first.
"E.. excuse me. I o..overheard that you needed a d..doctor. I.. I'm not a m..medical professional but m..maybe I can h..help?" She was dressed extremely simply, and seemed like just another part of the every day crowd. But who in their right minds would be out with all this madness going on?
