Welcome to Gaia! ::

Milliardo looked back at his plane, not wanting to leave it and risk someone stealing it, or breaking it further. But he had no choice, staying here, by himself was not safe. "Bien, mais j'ai besoin d'obtenir le reste de mes provisions premièrement," he said reluctantly.

When Milliardo had grabbed up all of the emergency supplies from his plane he locked the cockpit, even though it wouldn't really stop someone from trying to enter. "Je suis prêt alors," he said. He looked cautiously at Gabriel and Imzadi as he came closer.

Gabriel picked up at handed Milliardo back his weapon. "Merci," Gabriel replied.

Sage nodded,"Bon."

"The car is going to be crowded so I can sleep outsude. I don't have a need to worry for many things. And some can stay in here with me as a shelter. The car can be slept in as well. I just don't want it to get too cramped."

Sage turned to Milliardio translating all that she said to Gabriel and Imazadi. "Lequel préféreriez-vous?"



#1/Eric got tired of waiting with the sleeping cat and radio by the car. After leaning agianst the car for what seemed like forever he went out to find them, spreading his wings he fluttered them a moment to get them from being stuck to his back by sweat.

"Lets go find them." He heard a scamper a little bit away and turned his attention to it almost punching it in the face. When he saw it was a little girl. He stopped mid air and the girl flinched away. "Sorry...." Even though he wasn't. He hadn't hit her what did he need to be sorry about. "You startled me."

Rachel held her hands out for the cat and pointed at it.

"Its sleeping sorry, later though."

Rachel started to walk around him and when Eric moved with her she started to get fustrated. Furrowing up her brow to show he was doing something to irratate her.

"What?" Eric asked,"Can't you talk and tell me what you want?"

Rachel looked down at the ground and shuffled her foot around the dirt some.

"Oh... What do you want then?" Eric asked patiently this little girl was very diffrent from the others. Was it the age?

RAchel touched his stomach to make him stand still and then touched one of his wings. Jumping back when Eric spread them for her to glimpse at, as they sparkled rainbow with the suns rays. They were fly wings but much prettier looking when they were big enough to reflect light. The veins showed a light yellowish blood was running through them. "Be careful they are fragile."

Rachel was gentle and didn't even really touch them. The touch was ticklish she was so gentle with her curiousity.

Eric let her check his wings out for a bit but his patience didn't wear as she started to lose intrest. "What now?"

Rachel grabbed his hand and dragged him to the old playground getting on the swing and looking at him like she expected something. Then she got off the swing and made Eric sit and she pushed the swing making him barely move even though Rachel had pushed with all her might.

"I get it." he chuckled at her attempt. Getting up he patted the swing seat,"Sit." As she did he pushed gently and she started to swing. Pushing her faster until she was as high as the swing would let her go. She seemed satisfied with that and Eric kept her at that hieght and speed for a bit. Feeling relaxed around the little girls innocent company and sweetness.

"RACHEL!" Beth yelled,"Get away from him! What the hell ar eyou doing? I was woried sick looking for you. I told you to wait in the car."

Eric looked over at Beth and Rachel was already stopping the swing to run to Beth. Eric held her back as she went to run past him. "Why do you yell at her? She was not hurt."

Beth looked at him with a fierce look, that #1 returned, he could feel his teeth wanting to sink into her.

"I don't know you therefore I don't trust you. You walked around with that robot that tries to plead its human. She would let anyone join the group if she thought you had enough of a process to even say hi." Beth said.

Eat her..... the monster inside him pleaded and He fought with it. Not in front of the little girl, not before I get to meet the person's whose blood sings to me. Who defeated me. Before he lot control her turned away quickly letting Rachel go who just stood there looking hurt for a moment and then walked to Beth. Eric didn't wnat to lose the battle inside him just yet. Even if usually he wouldn't mind just eating someone who angered him that badly.

"Whatever I'll be looking for Sage."

"Come on Deniantah. No need to talk to her. She doesn't like things that are diffrent." Eric bent down and opened his arms up to the cat so that it had a step stool to either be held by him or get onto his shoulders or head again. Opening his wings up as he did just as an insult to Beth.

Beth turned away quickly and started to walk back to the car grabbing Rachel's arm while she was going and took her along as well.

Rachel looked hurt that they were leaving but didn't say anything she just looked down at the ground.

"Good riddance! You old hag!" #1 yelled at her as Beth started to walk away. "I hope a zombie eats you." He whispered under his breath. Or me... He smirked at the last part.

Beth didn't turn which was a lot of willpower on her half. Mostly because it was just her voice that sounded old not her body. Not anymore anyways. Ever since the radiation had gave her the ability to regenrate her skin, just nothing else.

"Rachel you don't know who he is. Strangers aren't to be trusted. Strangers are what put us in this situation. What put you in this position as well."

Rachel had tears come to her eyes. That sentence made her remeber what happened before Beth ahd found her. The reason that she could hardly speak. How her vocie was scared out of her and how long it had taken to even recover her voice so she could talk with it.

Beth looked down at her,"Oh I'm sorry baby I didn't mean to remind you of that. I just meant that these people took our little home from us and your posters and room. Stuff like that. But its easily replaced we will get away from them when we find a good safe place and not trust anyone again. Its okay." she hugged Rachel to her side.

Rachle nodded, agreeing because Beth ahd always been right. Her beliefs had saved them serveral times before. this was jsut a set back. She didn't ever wnat to lose Beth. She just didn't understand why Eric was so bad though. He hadn't been a robot, he had only had wings that made him diffrent.

Eric nodded,"Alright I am sure Sage will recharge then for you when she gets a chance and I can ask her." He paused a moment thinking,"I don't want her to turn into that." He seemed to care about the little girl. The only person that had ever caught his intrest in a way other then for food. "I like her." The statement seemed to be a question to himself and full of shock.

With a small shrug like he hadn't shown the emotion,"I will talk to Sage when she is available. Maybe as a robot she can recharge your battery."

#1 watched the cat go to watch over Rachel. "She seems to like animals quite a bit I bet she will liek Peter being around."

(>_> I will save Cedric tomorrow I guess.... 2am is too late to save someone's life)

"Il n'importe pas à moi," Milliardo said.

Gabriel was busy trying to read Milliardo's thoughts to try and better understand his language so he could communicate with him directly, instead of having to have Sage help all the time. French was distinctly different from English, but there were some similarities. Over the past couple weeks Gabriel had become an expert in English, he felt it would not be long before he could speak French as well.

He was so distracted in fact that he didn't sense that they were being followed.

Imzadi sensed it though, and she was began to point it out to Gabriel when all of a sudden Gabriel was struck in the chest with a metal dart. He was shocked, not expecting that to have happened at all, then he felt dizzy and all of a sudden he fell to the ground.

Milliardio and Imzadi both acted quickly. Milliardo raised his weapon up to his shoulder and watched the group's back while Imzadi through on her helmet and drew her vibroblade, the blade began to hum as it was activated. "Gabriel is alive," Imzadi said, able to sense that he was fine, "but I do not believe he will awaken for sometime."

Eric picked up the radio. "Life is weird." He said to himself. Ever since he started to get awarness beyound just basic instincts everything had been weird. Even the norml humans he had eaten didn't have such strange encounters or memories.

He felt a tinge of guilt about eating the aware humans. Why? He asked himself. Guilt. Bleh. Without thier sustanance I would not have the thinking process I do now. Thats a logical way of thinking about it.

Eric rolled his eyes. Another voice? No more please my mind doesn't have enough room. The other voice was silent a moment but Eric could still feel it there. He waited with not much patience.

I'm sorry to intrude but... #1 sighed as he realized the voice sounded distinctly female but it was only a small whisper.
You know you can get rid of the other voices. The monster inside you, Micheal....and me.

You would destroy yourself for my peace of mind?

Yes, however I hope you keep me and get rid of the others.

I like the monster inside me thanks and I have no need for a female trapped in a males body.

Then why do you fight the monster inside you?

Sometimes there is a time and place for everything and the monster doens't need to be set out right at this moment and it knows it too, however wanting blood makes it act up from time to time.

You seem to both like Rachel. The weak female voice whispered.

Eric's head started to pound, Stop it.

The female continued to attack at his weak points. "The one who made you has the same problems you are of his blood. You can be like him. With friends, fight to survive but together.
The thought hadn't occured to Eric yet, but with Rachel the innocent little girl. Only wanting to be pushed on the swing for happiness. It seemed like a nice luxury that he would be giving up soon.

"BEGONE!" The monster inside Eric said tearing through his head making it pound harder. Eric was still clutching the radio and his wings spread out as the monster took over finding Eric weak from being overly emotional over the little girl. "I'll eat her and take care of this problem."

He growled while still holding the radio he took off to the sky to swoop down and take Rachel away to snack on. He knew they were heading for the car he would look there first.

Sage ran forward to a group of people with the lead pipes and other crude weapons. Throwing her rifle to Millardo as she did. Knowing she could easily take down these people without having to kill them.

A buller or two ripped ehr skin open, but since her updates and new metal armor from the other robotic machines it didn't hurt her. In fact she was only worried about the bullets bouncing off and hurting one of her comapanions.

One man swung a the lead pipe at Sage's head she grabbe dit with her hand and it made a hollowed ringing noise at the metal to metal contact. Then she crushed it in ehr hand and yanked it from the man.

Grabbing his arm and turning the man around in quick speed she blocked the next attacker by using the man she was holding as a meat shield. His friend busted up his shoulder. Dropping the now whimpering guy with a shattered shoulder she swiped the other off his feet. Still holding the lead pipe from the other man.

"You know.... I think you guys should really rethink how you greet people. I'm sure you wouldn't want anyone to say hello to you like this." Then she slammed the lead pipe across his knee clearly breaking it with a sickening crack and it sounded like something splintered.

As soon as Sage looked at her two attackers on the gorund harmless and hurt she felt bad. She had the urge to run and get the medical kit and help them out now. They had not hurt her and never could have if they wanted to. In the older days Sage wouldn't have even had attacking cross her mind. She had come up against hostiles before and managed just fine without violence.

She didn't have time to think this over as some more were coming up on her fast.
