Welcome to Gaia! ::

After a few hours of rest, Zero slowly opened his eyes when he heard loud screaming from the surroundings. "What's all the commotion about...?" He grumbled as he looked around the place only to see Ren-san, all panicky about something. As usual.

"Ren-san...? Heh, I guess you heard my voice after all..." He said and chuckled silently afterwards. After he had finished, his attention turned to the dead teacher's corpse that lay on the ground near the hysteric young mage girl.

"Guess Ren-san finally realized that she was lugging a corpse all this time. I wonder how long it took her to realize that?" He said silently but didn;t give out a laugh since he knew that the death of one of Ren-san's close friends wasn't something to be laughed lest he be trampled upon by metric tons of earth just like last time he fought with the girl.

"Hey, could anybody help me outta these bands? I mean, they were warm and all at first but I think their cutting off the blood supply in my arms."

Sorce looked up from where he and Ilya were playing pinata with Intersectillax using, strangely enough, Enuma Elish. "Oh, sorry. I guess I kind of forgot to take those off. Your energy was pretty tasty."

"It is true that bringing a human back to life is nearly, if not impossible... Even if we do have the body, bringing back the soul can't happen... but in any case... we have magic right? If we could combine alchemy with magic and your power Zero-sama, then perhaps it could work!"

~~We can use Zero's power after all.... let's make it a team effort~~

"It goes against all of my morals... but I really want Falconer-sama to come back....=_= I'd miss him so much,"

"White mages? Are you really serious about that, Illya-chan?" Zero chuckled when his young friend mentioned the very word.

"Those sissies care more about their facials rather than supporting in battle! They'd hide away in their force barriers with the mere mention of the word 'physical strain'. Besides, I heard those guys cost a lot of money around here and they charge by the minute for their services. I should know, the GUILD has an entire squad of 'whities' and they just sit back and wait for the wounded to come to them rather than go out on the field and do what their paid to do. Ah, if only "White Touch" Konoka were here, now there's a true white mage!"

"....White mage...? Ren had never heard of this "Konoka" or any white mage for that matter, "Guys...! Falconer-sama is burning in hell, and we are sitting her arguing about how we are going to bring him back to life! There's no time... Jesus Gawd, if you want something done correctly, do it yourself...!" It seemed as Ren-chan was going to do it by herself.

Isn't it every scientist's dream any way? To bring someone back to life?

"I'm going to make a deal with God...! Right here and right now, and if you don't like it... then go on your wild goose chase for your magical fancy pricks...!"

....@_@

Ren held her pink diary in her hand, and opened to her flapped page. A fancy cookie recipe it seemed, but if one was to closely analyze it, it would be a recipe for something else...

"Chalk... I need... Ah...!" She picked up a stone and began to sketch a fancy looking circle around Falconer's dead body, seeming like something out of a gothic fantasy novel. Ren cut her index finger slightly, letting bits of blood drip down from her finger, tapping it over the body, and teh circle.

At completion, she stepped back and nodded, "Looks a bit right, rough around the edges... but right... Now..."

Ren placed her right hand on her hip, and pointed to the circle, "Zero-sama, flow your energy into it...!"

....

"Don't look at me like I'm crazy! What else do you think I've been doing in my room all of this time...? Just do it...! If worst comes to worst it doesn't work... We have the body, we just need to flow energy into him, we also need to call the "soul patrol" to give back that thing that goes inside of him... Your magical energy should be enough of an exchange... This way, its a win win... you did say you needed to release some of that energy away anyway, right? I guess it does sound a bit sci-fi... but its better than standing here arguing... amirite?"

~[[Eh~~ I know there are so many pathetic flaws in this... but its better than sitting here yelling at each other, and I do miss Falconer-sama... he was my favorite character....xD just go with it]]~

"...."

Ren seemed to stop.

"I'm in the middle of an alchemical ritual... now is not really a good time..."

>.>;

...

You know... I'm already going to hell for this..." Ren said pointing daintily down at the very satanic looking triangles and markings surrounding their dead teacher, glowing very faintly, "So if you want to step in be my guest..."

....

She suddenly became very melancholy, "It would have been cool if it worked though....T__T;; I'm so un-needed..."

"Lemme help you with that task miss nun. After all, it was originally my part to resurrect our fallen comrade, so at the very least allow me to lend you my power so that Ren-san's sacrifice would not go in vain." A voice from behind the sinfully seductive servant of the church said as a red-haired boy suddenly walked up beside the girl and channeled his energy in Ren-san's chalk circle.

The patterns in the circle suddenly grew bright as its energy synchronized with Yuufa's healing magic much to the surprise of the nun. Immediately, the chalk circle began to take a three dimensional shape as the symbols levitated, and along with it, bringing up the teacher's corpse along with it. While in mid-air, the chalk sybols began to spin faster and faster with each rotation until it became so fast that the chalk circle looked like it was just a blur.

Yuufa gave a faint smile as she felt Zero's energy synchronize with her own as both energies sped up the process of Falconer-sensei's resurrection.

"I never dreamed that I would meet someone as skilled as you in my lifetime." Yuufa said.

"Heh, don't thank me miss. If you want to thank someone, thank that girl over there. She's the one who came up with this circle." Zero replied as he gestured over Ren-san's direction.

"My, my, aren't we the modest one. You remind me of a Crusader friend of mine. Unfortunately, he's off with his squad to fend off a band of orcs that were corrupted by the Twilight's influence from invading west Rasetsu."

"Oh, that's too bad. In any case, I'm flattered to be praised so by such a charming lady like you. Would you give me your number after we're done?"

"Ah...ummm...I'm sorry but...I already have a previous engagement with someone else."

"Oh, that's too bad. Well, I hope you both live happily ever after though I probably think you will."

"Thank you. You know, you don't look half bad yourself. I'm sure you're gonna find that special someone someday."

"Sorry, but I already found her although she's not here at the moment."

Yuufa smiled. "Is she beautiful?"

"Like a purple winter rose, my dear nun, like a purple winter rose."

Both of them chatted along for a few more minutes until the spinning stopped and the glow slowly faded from the teacher's body.

"All done. Thank you so much for the help. Thanks to all your help, we've successfully revived your comrade and it didn't even cost me one blue gem."

"Don't mention it, miss nun. I'm just glad that I was able to help such a beautiful woman like yourself." Zero said with a smile as Yuufa smiled back until both of them started laughing softly.

(I so feel like quoting Supernatural here. Only I forgot the quote. What makes you think that resurrected Falconer is 100% Falconer?)

"WHAT DO WE WANT!" roared Falconer over the droning of elevator music.

"Some form of entertainment." The others in the Waiting Room of Nada replied in a bored tone

"WHEN DO WE WANT IT!"

"Some time in the next century."

Doors opened immediately, and a swarm of winged security guards flocked out, taking down the rebel Falconer.

"ACK, WATCH WHERE YOU'RE POKING THAT! OI!"

Meanwhile, new entertainment was brought in...

"The Backstreet-" one person cried in surprise, only to have a hand clamped down over his mouth.

"Shh, that names copyrighted..."

"-I knew they were dead!"

"And now, I new song we wrote while in the Waiting Room of Nada..."

Boyd Falconer, holding an afterlife steak to his black eye, stared at the robed skeleton in front of him.

"So you're...Grim?"

The thing shook his head.

"Nah, I'm Jim, Grim is a little busy today so I'm taking over."

"Oh..."

"Boyd Falconer...let's take a look at your paperwork shall we?"

A snap of his fingers and a manila folder appeared in front of him.

"Hmm, hmm...First Kill at the age of 10...These figures are pretty high. Why I might say that they're over nine-"

"Please don't finish that sentence."

"That's a lot of people you've killed."

"Its part of the job."

"Hey, I recognize some of these names...Hey! She was cool! Why'd you have to kill her?"

"A job is a job."

"Pfft, heard they still haven't found a cause for it yet. Not bad."

"Wasn't really my plan. I just did what they asked."

"Right, moving right along then...during your years of puberty you made pactios and killed a lot of people. Then when you were 18..."

Jim trailed off.

"Yeah, THAT" Falconer grumbled.

"Man they added all those spell patterns to you...and all your companions. Half of them died through out it, the others can't do magic anymore..."

"Yeah I got lucky, whoop de do. ******** up my magic greatly though, couldn't cast spell for years. Joined the military and waited for it to slowly come back. Whatever they did to me was pretty useful though, when I could finally use spells again they were a lot more powerful than before...Even with all the nasty side effects..."

Falconer shook his head.

"But you know all this already don't you?"

"Yep."

"Great. So, where am I going?"

"Well, there's this nice place I was thinking about sending you, you'll love it..."

Falconer began flickering.

"Oh what now?" he grumbled, eyes widening in shock.

"Looks like someone's bringing you back alive."

There was a pause.

"B-but..." Falconer began.

"Don't worry, it'll all be here when you next come by, if your lucky that won't be in a while! I'll try to make sure the higher ups don't take away all the extra bonuses though...I mean even up here food can expire and those girls can't wait forever..."

"OH COME ON! MOTHER F-"

---

"-Uuuuuucker!" he cried out, back on Earth, shaking his fist angrily at the sky. "I WANT MY NOODLES AND HOT CHICKS!"

He turned to glare at the others...only to notice the 2 hot nuns walking off...the weird short albino girl playing with...something, Ren staring at him...and basically everyone else in the area staring at him.

"Wait a minute...hot chicks..." he pointed at all the women in the area. "Noodles...noodles..."

His hand reached for his belt where his guns were.

Um...Falconer?

No, no let him continue. I want to see how this'll play out.

(The spell patterns to what Chao has. This is like the beginning of what they'll develop for her that Falconer's got. I don't know. This sounded a lot better in my head.

And his back!)
