OOC: This is phase two of my Dark Ones saga. I will post later on. If your from my other thread then just pick up where you left off only 3 weeks later.

It was late at night and the wind blew every so softly threw the window. Jessica shot up in a cold sweat from her sleep. She had another dream about her brother jayce.

In the dream she was chasing him calling his name. However he kept 3 steps in front of her no matter how fast she ran. When she finnely got to him. He turned to her his eyes red as he luaghed so evil was the laugh it would scar most minds. She saw a city behind him burning as people screamed for mercy and got none. She then saw 7 Dark Figures leading the attack.

Then she saw a man she couldnt make him out but a great light came from him. Jayce and the man started to fight. Both fought in a dead lock. They fought for what seemed like ages. The whole time they fought the 7 destroyed everything in sight. Untell nothing was left. Only Jayce and The man.

Jessica stood up from her bed and walked to a communcation panal. Still being in orbit of the gaian homeworld she asked for someone on the planet who could help her get over these visions.

The Council meanwhile was busy with another endeavor of their own. They were preparing for a major event.

However a comm-tech entered the Council Chamber, being repaired, with Lady Seto looking over details, while the rest of the Council was preparing as per Aleaic's instructions.

"Milady.." ..the tech announced, handing a Padd to Lady Seto.

After she reads it.. "Let her come see me in my Office." ..the tech nods and heads off quickly.

She then looks neutrally at the space the tech left, thinking.. "(I hope her brother is okay.)" ..she then turns to head for her personal Office chambers.

--

Meanwhile, an air of importance steadily grows amid a ceremony to establish the Gaians as more than victims, and unto more able to handle their own destinies.

..the recent events with Skeith was still cold and bloody fresh.

Extreme times called for magnanamous measures.

Jessica headed for Lady Setos office. As she walks she crys a little but drys them as she enters the office.

"Hello.... I know your busy but...." Jessica crys a little " My brother i fear....he will die or kill many people.... these visions are so horrible."

Jessica crys a little more trying to regain her self.


Meanwhile Aura wasnt fairing much better. But was keeping busy trying to figure out where the wave would strike next. She sent a report to The Gaians and High Ranking members in Neo Zeta

After research. I found thet Innis will be the next Dark One to arive. Unlike Skeith he uses mind tricks,shapeshifting,and lies. Also he is pretty stroung when it comes to attacks but less then skeith. He is much smarter then skeith however. I will begian looking at more info on the wave and its weakness. Hope this info helps

Little did they know Innis was already hard at work and was keeping his eye on everthing.

Lady Seto nods, and sighs.. "While I'm not one for speaking for our own people, we will try and assist you to prevent this very event." ..and on the heels of this, another comm-tech enters with two Padds.

Seto takes both, the first with Aura's message..

..the second, makes Seto grimace a little. "I do hope they are not rushing all this."

Seto then looks at Jessica calmly. She then takes a motherly tone. "I tell you, what I tell my daughter Misaki.

Crying can be a good healer, losing the weakness and letting the void fill with strength." ..she then offers a shoulder to do just that.

---

Aleaic meanwhile is finishing 'instructing' the Hikari Trees, as well as those they have initially chosen to become the First Generation. Most of his Council included.

Aleaic though wait for one other to arrive before the ceremony can begin.

Meanwhile, the Partners take the time to 'get to know' each other.

Jessica nods still crying as she crys on to Setos shoulder. She mutters out the words. " Did this have to happen to now... He and Aura were so happy togather then the darkness takes him...."


--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile Innis had steared up great hate and distrust for Neo Zeta on the streets of the Gaian homeworld. Now he just needed to wait for Jayce to make his showng in time. Innis walked past many people and troops none knowing he was their enemy. He then thouight

*( i wonder with my powers even Aleaic cant sence who or what i am. Heh i may never even have to fight him. Once Jayce makes his move. I think i will have some fun with Aleaic and his family... Distrust will raign in this world.)*

Those ripples were not usual of a Gaian mindset. Those stirrings were being fanned by the recent attack, and the lack of immediate knowledge of 'why'. For once the souls of the Ascendancy had doubts..

..and Aleaic indeed was not 'attune' to Innus, more simply...

---

Seto just let's Jessica cry it out, saying in response. "If I might suggest, Aura may be a real key to gain your brother back. If she is as you say so, you may have given us a powerful weapon."

Just then, a vidscreen POPS in front of Seto (or behind Jessica in her case) with a calm, collected... "WHAT THE BLOODY HECK IS TAKING YOU LADY!?!?! WE'VE BEEN READY HOURS AGO!!!!!"

Seto barely registers a fluster, as Washu's 'prod' is responded simply with..

"I was consoling the Lady here in kind. Besides, those stalks of flashlights have been waiting for Eons, a few more moments will not delay that much for ill."

A side vid-holo pops besude 'Washu', as Arashi.. "You may wish to listen to Washu, Lady Seto..

..the Trees are sensing a great evil in our midst. They do not know where..."

Seto nods.. "Understood.."

Seto then looks at Jessica... then gets an idea, and askes 'Arashi'.. "..do ask his Lordship if a special case can be made."

Arashi responds by 'talking' to her left (holoscreen wise..) and then looking back with a gaze of suprise. "..Um... ah.. husband says yes... actually.. not much of an argument actually.." Seto responds with a chuckle.

Seto the looks at Jessica. "Would you mind helping me with something milady? It may help both our causes."

Things seemed to be moving back to an amicable conclusion. While the second foe was out there, somewhere, Xenonier had watched the first fall to the impressive powers displayed by the Gaian Ascendancy, and Aleiac now knew he could find help from the protectorate should the need arise.

Arkady Gregorovich had long since left the borders of the Gaian Ascendancy, and was back into the business of securing Xenonian power, negotiation treaties, leading troops, and supervising the impressive Xenonian training regime.

With this in mind, Xenonier continued to remain in a state of mobilisation. While invincible to the eight themselves, it was always nessecary to remain ready to come to the aid of those trapped by the dark schemes of that group.

OOC: And with this, I take the backseat, Tag, and wait for the final conflict of this thread to really get involved, if at all. Good Luck and Have fun, because I'm watching.

Jessica look at seto and nods. " yes i will do anything to help bring this to a end. What is it you need help with?"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile on the ship Jayce appeared in Auras room. Aura wasnt shocked she senced him comeing and said.

" Jayce please let me help you."

Jayce smirks " Help me? Why would i need help.. I have become more then a human. You sould thank me. I will rid space of these humans and all other races who mis use life. They play with the power of the gods and goddess and now they turn their back on them"

Aura sighs " Jayce they are part of the worlds. To take them away is no diffrent then destroying everything else.... Please stop this maddness."

Jayce only says." You will see in time." with that he gose threw a rift

Aura crys. " Why cant you see how i feel about you...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

What looks to be a high ranking Gaian goverment member walks into the room with Aleaic. He stands agianst the wall and watchs. It was Innis. He was useing all his power to keep anythng from sencing who or what he was. He knew that soon would be the time to strike. He just needed to wait for the word.

( bump)

(bump)

Lady Seto looked simply at Jessica and said. "Then please come with me." ..and simply as that, she led Jessica, and a few remaining 'canadites' from the Command Center, into a teleporter...

..and directly to the Hallowed Hallway, where the Unsealed Doors lain, open, and glowing with the purity of the light as before.

Seto led Jessica and the others, as the ceremony was starting begin.

--

Within the chamber, were many non-selected souls, watching while the First Generation began their melding with their Partners.

Innus, stood near with several unknowing other high commanders, lords, ladies, and such, along with a good compliment of Angel Gods, Ascendants, Angelics, Krysallians, and even a few Energon, on hand to watch the event.

The Gaians were the main focus, as the Hikari Trees, over the past few weeks, had been 'drawing' their own selected souls. That be, the had been over the passage of a few years, souls that had dreams, been 'mistakenly' led to stumble upon, and other myriad of mystic functions to arrive at the result here.

The thousands of Hikari Trees, in all their glow, were essentially a race of their own right. They however were a symbiotic 'species', and as their base format, were trees that could not move on their own, or at least not very well. They were however, just as sentient, and just as complex in mindset, as the mortal subjects they would choose to meld with.

In exchange for the ability to see the universe and learn the same through the senses of their Partners, and more for the protection provided as a result of the symbiosis, the Trees offered the power of incredibly long lifespans, powers not easily imaginable, near immunity to normal poisions, mind ills, and diseases of the mortal body, for the most part.

They also offered a different 'spatial' option that would be deployed later, in a vessel format. They also could be spread apparently very easily, with time. The First Generation would eventually be joind by more 'lower' Generations, as the Trees began to Seed the various worlds of the Ascendancy.

The Hikari Power had the potential to enguard the entire Gaian Landsrad within the Hikari Power. Millions upon Billions under the protection of the Light.

The Council Members, and their closest family and friends, each in individual, and in pairs, depending on marital status, were 'arrayed' in front of a specific Hikrai Tree, their chosen Partner. Example, Belldandy and Keiichi were before the Tree that they named Nekomi, Peorth however had her own named Prashir.

For the Excellency and his close family, Tsunami, Arashi, and their daughters, Isarra and Sirrana, they were at the base of the Hikari Alcove. Their's was a specific Tree.

Their's was named simply Hikari, a Tree of the Three Trunks. Three Trees essentially wrapped around each other into a single Hikari Tree, an event FAR of progeny in advance of the Unsealing of the Hikari Alcove a few weeks ago.

Eons even.......

For the past few weeks, Aleaic explained what had happened in the Alcove, what the Trees were, and what they wanted. Shortly after, the Gaians that became the First Generation, began to recieve numerous dream state messages of their Partners, all throughout Republic Space, and some in the Galaxy Colonies.

For the past two days, that all turned into the inital meetings between Partner pairs (or trios and more, whathave ye..)

Now, the meetings have turned into this ceremony. Today, the First Generation Partners meld into the force of the Hikari Royal Family.

Jessica looked around not knowing what was going on nore what she was supposed to do. She asked Seto " What is this...?"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jayce waited with the wave waitng to see what the light had planned. Innis also stayed calm. He was in no hurry to fight just yet. The wave simple told Jayce. " Everything gose as i have forseen it"

Seto replied simply, as if she expected this all along. "Out of these numerous Trees, is one of your 'own'.

...seek a Partner, and it will bring your own family added power to help in assisting us with combating this accursed Dark Wave crud."

Seto meanwhile demonstrates by heading to a platform teleport pad, and both are teleported to a platform rather high up in the Alcove. By number levels and by platforms, there are 108,724 Hikari Trees, along 7,432 main levels.

It 'is' a huge Alcove...

The First Generation take up only 821 Trees, hence how 'much' the Trees could expand in Power in time with all the Partnerships.

Seto's Tree Mikagami lies before her, greeting her with a chime of lightbeams upon the living pool below it. Seto shakes off a grimace and then nods as if to another humanoid being.

Meanwhile, not too long after, Jessica starts to 'feel' something tug at her mind.

..like a song from oiled glasses floating in a gentle breeze of warmth.

OOC: This is phase two of my Dark Ones saga. I will post later on. If your from my other thread then just pick up where you left off only 3 weeks later.
Dude tell me you did not just rip off the Dot.hack game...

OOC: I did in some ways. And whats the problem with that hmmm? People here rip off star trek,Starwars,Gundam Wing, And many others daily. And if you dont like it dont read.

((OC- *raises hand* Battletech, ST, SW, Homeworld, Dune, Future Anime in general and more, here...

...was wondering if I'de be accused of ripping off the Jurai... well, not ripping as so much imitating greatness. =^^=

..aye, that what we all FT fans do here, imitate greatness. =^^= ))

Seto replied simply, as if she expected this all along. "Out of these numerous Trees, is one of your 'own'.

...seek a Partner, and it will bring your own family added power to help in assisting us with combating this accursed Dark Wave crud."

Seto meanwhile demonstrates by heading to a platform teleport pad, and both are teleported to a platform rather high up in the Alcove. By number levels and by platforms, there are 108,724 Hikari Trees, along 7,432 main levels.

It 'is' a huge Alcove...

The First Generation take up only 821 Trees, hence how 'much' the Trees could expand in Power in time with all the Partnerships.

Seto's Tree Mikagami lies before her, greeting her with a chime of lightbeams upon the living pool below it. Seto shakes off a grimace and then nods as if to another humanoid being.

Meanwhile, not too long after, Jessica starts to 'feel' something tug at her mind.

..like a song from oiled glasses floating in a gentle breeze of warmth. Jessica looked up. " I hear a song in my head...." She walks to a tree and looks at it..

"this is where it is comeing from. Whats its name? I feel like i have known it for my whole life."

Seto places a hand upon Mikagami and speaks with eyes closed. "What name do you hear from it? Each name is unique to the one that become's it's Partner, the Tree that is."

Meanwhile throughout the Tree, the Council Members and family, and the other special chosen begin to do the same. All it comes down to is placing a hand(s) upon the Tree, and then simply letting their mutual minds meld to become linked souls.

The experience is breathtaking. Like each soul, both Gaian and Hikari Tree, being wrapped with a warm blanket, as well as with a deep well of light being emplaced upon each soul.

For the Gaians, that 'well' has tremendous power.

For the Hikari Trees, the 'well' is the sight and sensations the Gaians take for granted.

For Jessica, she continues to hear this song, moreso in chime as the meldings take place, berefit of useless words of ceremony.

Jessica slowly moves her hand onto the tree and closes her eyes. She then softly says " Kikyo....?" She then feels as if her mind is becomeing whole. The linking of her soul with the tree Kikyo has started.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jayces eyes opened wide in the dark area. " NO!!"

The wave was also in shock. The wave had not forseen this " STOP HER JAYCE"

Jayce opened a rift and went threw landing on the bottom floor.

He had trouble senceing where jessica was in this mass of trees and people do to all the energy. He looked all over then spoted her.

" Jessica remove your hand from that thing now!!!"

He knew that this would be a bad blow to their plans if jessica completed the joining.

Innis readyed himself to step in if ordered.

OOC: Yeah i used Kikyo from Inuyasha as the name. Only nam that poped to mind ^^.

((OC- Hey, if it works.. =^^= ))
---

Innus's carefulness had prevented the Trees from sensing him.

His suddenly hasty act all but turns the Power of the Hikari upon Innus/Jayce with an holy wrath.

Not that the Gaians or the Allies aren't suprised by this event, but the meldings have gone too far to be stopped now. More, Aleaic sees this act, and says to Tsunami and Arashi.. ":: ~ Ensure the meldings are completed. ~ ::" ..Tsunami nods and Arashi looks on as Aleaic ports dead in front of Jayce.

":: ~ Do you have an appointment..

..Innus. ~ ::" ..Aleaic says, not speaking directly to Innus, 'seeing' past the slave.

Jayce yelled "Innus Stay back this is MY fight"

With that slaped his hands to gather as a Alchemy Circle appeared and he summond two large hands of stone from the floor they reached for Aleaic. Jayce was also in a full charge with his sword drawn.

" dont think this will be easy."

Innus went to stop jessica from merging. He jumped from level to level. " AHAHAHAHAHAHA" He was happy to be able to kill

Aleaic knew the power in front of him was well equal, and he responded simply.

A large snowflake shaped Angelhawk Shield forms swiftly on command in front of the approaching stone hands, halting their advance but not without great difficulty.

":: ~ SNAP OUT OF IT JAYCE!!! ~ ::" ..and then FLASH amplifies the Shield to throw the stone hands back at Jayce has he charges.

Meanwhile the Hikari Tree Kikyo 'screams' for help..

...and a massive tidalwave of lightbeams come from the Trees, blinding Innus as he advances.

Below Arashi yells. "Wear him down!!! Wear him down!!!"

Jayce jumps onto the first hand and cuts threw the 2nd. However a sharde of rock cuts him on arn cuasing a nice sized cut. He grabs Aleaic and slams him into the wall then jumps back and holds his arm for a moment to heal.

" Snap out of what? I see the truth now. And deep down you see this is for the best. Infact Checkmate" he pointed behind Aleaic to

Innus who was finnely at the same level as jessica but not with out takeing hard blows.

" Girl you will die now" Innus drew a small dagger.

" i dont even have to show my true form you brat"

Innus

Aleaic was indeed helpless in that moment, stunned against the wall.

However his alliessuddenly became numerous, as the first new Hikari Partner acts..

Lady Funaho looks down from two levels as Jessica sees certain death before her, and responds simply...

..a silent wave of her hand, and the dagger in Innus's hand is suddenly 'blown apart' into a cloud of harmless angel feathers. The result also makes for a bright flash!

Behind Jayce, he's SLAMMED hard from behind by yet another Partner, as Lord Tenchi forces Jayce into another section of the Alcove wall.

"That's for Al." ..he simply says, as Aleaic recovers..

..meanwhile Hikari Trees throughout the Alcove begin to place an impenetrable series of layers of Angelhawk Shield all around Jessica. Of note is Seto's nearby..

"Prepare to face us 'all' at once, if you dare lout."

Jayce gets more and more angery. He starts to summon the " root"of his power but befor he can Aura steps threw a door way. She has tears in her eyes " I will stop you jayce even if i must kill you."

She sends a MASSIVE shock wave that sends jayce flying threw a wall.

He lands and gets up dizzy and supriesed.

" Pft i have no more time for this" He opens a rift and leaves.

Aura yells for him to come back but Innus appears in his true form infront of her. He opens the gate to his dark area and sucks Aura into it.

" Come get her if you dare Innus says as he gose threw."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jessica finnishs her joining with Kikyo as she opens her eyes she says

" The Wave its power is in Innus right now. Destroy Innus and we can beat it!!!"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Innus was taken off guard by this. Yes the power was in him he knew this and had planned to transfer it out. But know that the light knew they wouldnt give him the time. Innus now had to fight for the waves life....

The other saw all this, and were suddenly helpless for the mere moments all this took place. When Jessica's voice shouted out, Aleaic realized.

":: ~ Did that mean that Innus has the Power of Hikari within him? ~ ::"

Without waiting, he takes that chance and says to Tenchi... ":: ~ I'm going to go in and keep him occupied. ~ ::"

Tenchi understands rather swiftly. "And then we..."

Behind Aleaic suddenly, comes.. ":: ..indeed... 'we'.. ::"

Aleaic sees the teal beauty suddenly next to him, and nods.

He then looks at Tenchi simply, nods once, and both teleport through the still torn portal area to follow Innus and Jayce.

Meanwhile, the others begin to enact the plan Tenchi relays to them all...

....and the Hikari Power is raised to a terrible level.

When they arrived Innus was floating around and then spinned as purple smoke covered him.

He reappeared 50 feet in front of them.

Jayce was no where to be seen.

" Time for you to see the lies of the light" Innus said

With that Innus deared them to attack.

Aleaic looks simply (a lot of 'simply' no?) at Innus and just cocks his head.

":: ~ Ready love? ~ ::"

Suddenly, Tsunami appears behind Aleaic and wraps her arms behind him, her own Hikari Power mingling with Aleaic's. ":: Always.. ::"

Just then, Tsunami causes a literal Angelic form of Angelhawk Wings, two sets that spread out in blinding light of literaly angel wings. Aleaic compliments by forming his Three in front of him, making seven sets between them..

..which then begin to resonate in a beautiful sonic tone that amplifies off each other. Very quickly a large energy bubble of light forms around them both, and Aleaic forms a single sword blade from one of his Wings.

Aleaic then speaks.. ":: ~ Hope you're ready for the 'both' of us.

And for our 'real' power together.. ~ ::"

--

...all the while the Hikari Power from all the First Generation grows to feed yet 'more' power through to the two inside the dark realm.

..which also quickly gains the attention of the Angelic souls within the Republic, and 'they' begin to feed power into the Spirit realm, adding to this amplification.

" Now Jayce" The wave says.

Jayce jumps down and useing his Alchemy whitch as for some reasion grown in power to match the light once more. He seals the Rift to the dark realm.

" Dont mind me just makeing sure no one trys to run from this fight"

Innis then moves 40 feet sideways creating what look to be copys of Lady Seto.

The 10 "dolls" Armed with explosives and spears charge Aleaic with great speed.


((OOC: Innus plays mind games so this is what he dose. Some may see this as another easy fight and this is true. But the other phases are much strounger and the fight they put up will be more fitting.))

((OC- Hence why I made so many new 'allies'. The Hikari Power hasn't really been nicked at the iceberg apex yet either.))
-------

Aleaic isn't the one that reacts.

Tsunami does. ":: Try harder! ::" ..and creates a swirling whirlwind of 'angel feather shards' of Angelhawk blades, each that shear out and away, destroying the illusion.

Aleaic then ignores Jayce, and sees Innus in the midst of the broken illusions. HE THEN CHARGES VEHEMNTLY!!! ":: ~ YOU FOOL!!! ~ ::"

In the same manner has had Skeith, Aleaic attackes with his blade and hits the Wave power, revealed by the infested Hikari Power at it's link between Innus the master, and the slave Jayce. The strike is true, but not total.

However the damage is heavy.

Aleaic then yells.. ":: ~ NOW LOVE!! ~ ::"

...Tsunami then wordlessly explodes all the shards into a wave of cascaded light, slamming the 'chamber' hard, and snaping the link ruthlessly in the name of the light!

Innus isn't destroyed, but the link is severed.

Jayce yells with a great pain along with the wave. Jayce coughs up a good amount of blood befor opening a rift and leaving.

Innus's Skin or Armor is gone showing his full form. A group of Green Gems.

Innus in his pride will not give up and spins and appears behind Aleaic shooting beams of dark energy at point blank range on to him.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

" Its up to you magus........................" The wave weakly mutters. T

he waves power is down to its last as jayce lays in the dark area in a coma like state.

Aleaic litterally has had ENOUGH, and blasts a wave that strikes more than enough beams down. Still several glance bloody cuts upon both Aleaic and Tsunami, as Aleaic reaches out and uses his power to NAB all the gems.

":: ~ I am 'so' through with this all. The other dark ones had better be terrified, because the 'wave' that destroys all, will be our OWN Wave.

..and I will have Jayce and Aura back among us, you COWARD!!! ~ ::"
Aleaic then sears his power into the Gems, intent on ripping out of them, the location of Jayce and Aura.

--

((OC- And on that note, I just broke the 500 million pop. mark just now! =^^=!!!

..time to rename my nation properly!! ))

((OOC: Bad idea to tuch the gems ^^))

IC: Innus uses his last power to shock Aleaic with enough dark power to even hurt him badly.

With his last energy spent the Gems green glow stops.

The gems rumble as they float into the air and break apart into chunks of normal rock and then they too vanish.

Aura appears and falls on to her knees.

" The wave did you beat it? Did you save Jayce?"

As she said this the dark area of Innus collapsed sending them back to where they had came.

The shock had it's effect, and Aleaic is knocked out cold at the last moment. ":: LOVE!!!!!! ::" Tsunami screams as They all end back up in the Alcove.

Arua is ignored for a moment as Aleaic is jostled by Tsunami as the others appear variously around their fallen leader.

...but Aleaic remains still and unmoving.

A leader is down...

...meanwhile a tear enwrapped First Lady Excellency can only reply through her wrecked voice. "...he's over.. there..." ..looking hollowly at where Jayce lies.

Aura started to walk over to jayce along with jessica. However as they neared Jayce begian to get up slowly

Jayce stood to his feet barly able to keep from falling back down. He said " Thats it i have had it......No more mr nice guy" He drew two swords once in each hand.

He then took notice where he was and the numbers agianst him.

" Just great....... To weak to make a rift just yet.......But their leader is down so i have a chance"

":: WRONG!! ::"

All of a sudden a large Angelhawk Globe is slammed down all around Jayce from above, as a 'very' angry Azusa leaps down from above, the author of this harsh result.

Jayce is trapped as a result, with no way out. Azusa's too angry to consider otherwise.

":: Damn you child. Have you no SENSE!?!? ::" Azusa seethes at 'Jayce'.

Tsunami meanwhile is joined by Arashi, and tries with all might of their new power to revive him.

..and he remains in a coma.

Jayce yells. " COWRD COME FIGHT ME!!!! I WILL RIPE YOUR BEATING HEART FROM YOU" Jayce was growing ever more into the darkness

He kept cursing and cursed everything the gaians hold holy.

Azusa and the other's nearest only ignore the yelling, knowing Jayce can do no more harm. He looks at Aura and Jessica simply. ":: You deal with him... ::" ..somewhat coldy and then heads to learn Aleaic's condition.

":: ..how is he? ::"

Tsunami and Arashi look up, with a terrified Isarra holding Sirrana in her arms, with Tsunami saying barely.. ":: ..he won't wake up. I don't understand, his Power should.... ::"

Tenchi next to Azusa feels a raw anger as well, and looks back at Jayce with a murderous glare.

However he also holds back his emotions.

":: What can .......be done then? ::"

"(( :: ~ Allow me... ~ :: ))"

Everyone is suddenly SHOCKED as the voice they hear for the first time, as Arashi ekes out.. ":: Lady.... Creation? ::"

The awe inspiring goddess, in all her star filled raven glory, appears above the area Aleaic lies.

((OOC: I Guess the goddess sould meet eh?))

" Poor weaklings.. Yet you cuase so much trouble like rats"

A stunning women floated from a rift. Her hair silver her ears long and pointed and her eyes red. She softly landed near jayce.

"You dare hold my servent?"

She smirks.


" Hello Aura"


Anger feels auras eyes. " Mother......let him go now!!! And stop this!! I know your leading the wave stop this now!!!"


Morganna laughs " Why sould I? There is no way these weak mortals can stop the wave and you know this child"

"(( :: ~ But I 'can'...

...but indeed, why should I stop you? ~ :: ))"

The others look in shock once more as Creation levels herself at Morganna.

..Creation then speaks.. "(( :: ~ But then, what is there to be truly 'gained' from your Wave, verses my representing the Light.

What has it truly gained us.

Your servant is enslaved and broken.

My champion lies in a coma.

No one here has won a 'thing'.... ~ :: ))"

She then looks down at the beings below her. "(( :: ~ All this has gained, is beings that went from friends to enemies, and with no resolution sight.

..truly.. your Wave may indeed destroy all. But then there are too many souls that I now care about to allow that.

I call a truce between the Light of Hikari and the Dark Wave. The Balance as my champion professes, is nearing a fractured state.

If it is destroyed, 'all' of our works will be destroyed. Both nations, this Galaxy and further. Not even the Dark Wave will survive that. And I 'know' you better than that Morganna.

..you wish to exist also, as much as your minions do. As I do for my own souls..

...let us end this, here and now. ~ :: ))" Creation finishes looking dead at Morganna.

" The Wave is ment to die in the end. Its made to destroy everything to leave nothing. To clear the Universe for its Rebirth. This has happened befor. The wave has done this 3 times since the birth of time. Each time everything is born a new. Its ment to be,Untell the perfect form is reached. And i feel the wave only must do its job once more for this to happen"

Morganna looked on

"Just a little more and the Rebirth will happen."

(bump)

(bump)

(bump)

Lady Creation simply looks down at the inert champion below her, and shakes her head back at Morganna.

"(( :: ~ I have existed for eons, more than as equal as you have.

What you seek is an impossibility, not to mention far too three dimensional in thinking.

Perfection upon the Planes is impossible to achieve, in 'any' form. No such thing can be achieved, no matter how we one thinks it can be done. And to destroy all to seek perfection, lays waste to the very idea in the first place.

Destruction destroys. 'No' amount of perfection can exist as a result.

If there be one more time, keep it to yourself. Do 'not' invlove those that do not share your ideals. Such 'perfection' is armageddon to all others. Create the Wave, and I will be forced to stop you permanently. I've seen you do too much in it's name. ~ :: ))" ..said at the end with a hateful tone.

She's more than ready to impose upon her act completely.

Morganna smirks. " dont think you can defeat me. The Wave cant be beat its the will of the universe it self to have The Wave destroy. Why do you wish to challange it?

What is your or my will compared to the will of the univirse?"

Jayce by this time had regained some of his strengh. He said " This is a stage that must be taken. With life comes death, And with death comes rebirth and so it gose.

To stop one part of it can end up destroying everything with no rebirth"

Creation smirks..

"(( :: ~ There are more forces besides your own and my own, that can answer far better for I.

And you attempt to speak for only 'part' of the Balance, not the whole.

The Wave is only one thing.

..The Balance is far greater. 'IT' will decide when it is time for everything and all to be 'restored', and this is NOT that time Morganna. ~ :: ))"

..she then adds..

"(( :: ~ ...shall I ask them in person if 'they' think it is alright for the Wave to do this? ~ :: ))"

..a suddenly small feeling Tenchi asks.. "A.. ask... who?"

Lady Creation responds without looking away from Morganna. "(( :: ~ The Aeo Powers themselves. Those that cannot exist upon our plane of existence anymore, due to their being far too evolved to interract with us on our own plane, except by only a few specific Conduits.

...which I happen to be trusted as one. ~ :: ))"

Another voice roared

" Morganna she is right. You are useing the wave to destroy aura and everything once and for all. You wish to kill OUR duaghter and i cant allow this. Time to take your champion away and make him my own"

Jayce was telported in front of aura as he started to change.

His body twisted and turned as it changed. His hair grew longer and blond. His eyes now a dark blue. His body got more of a tan. He had markings all over his body and his wings were gone. His teeth razor sharp.

However unlike befor he was back in controle but changed a little

He spoke " Thanks Raizen.... Good to be back..." He gave a evil smile to Morganna

Aura said. " Father.......Thank you so much...." she started to tear up


Jessica was in shock " Raizen as in Raizen the god of war?!"

Morganna just looked on with her heartless look "Matters not the wave will finnish it from here. You will all die"

Jayce laughs " Unlike the guy over there passed out i wont give you mercy. I will rip you and your wave apart."

They all had no idea this was all playing into the waves hand. The wave it self was about to make its first move.

The air felt definetly darker at that moment, and the Wave could be 'felt' as a result.

Lady Creation then simply shook her head. "(( :: ~ Proven only of your mind Morgana, is limited. ~ :: ))"

Of them all, the goddess can feel something 'else' occuring at the same time.

As all good things, begin small, but is amplifying rapidly.

*Someplace in the mind of the nether...*

He stood in the middle of his old High School Center entrance hallway, the cafeteria in front of him, hallways that led left and right, the floor of blue worn in rug. The walls filled with school stuff, phamplets, aling with vidscreens, far less advanced than what he knows of now..

..'Aleaic' looks around, wondering, why he's there, and why he's all alone.

But... not really alone. He feels something at the edge of his mind. A sweet warmth and an intent of life with it. It makes him feel like he's happy to be here at that moment..

":: ......but 'where'? ::" ..his voice echoes off the 'walls'.

Then he realizes. ":: Where.... is this? ::" ..realizing it's not 'really' his High School Center.

":: So this is where you went... ::" ..Aleaic spins and sees his two loves to his left, literally out from nowhere... ":: Tsui? Arashi? ::"

Tsunami cocks her head and inspects Aleaic over for a moment, then nods. ":: Guess your mind sent you here. ::"

Aleaic cocks his eye in return. ":: Pardon? ::" ..Arashi the most mystical of the three imparts. ":: You are in a coma love. While you were fighting Innus, you allowed your mind to become too angry as you attaciked, and the Hikrai Power became unstable.

..when you then touched Innus and he shocked you with his dark energies, your mind went into a coma, and retreated 'here', a place your mind felt was most comfortable to stablilize in. All minds do this in one form or another, create a place where it can hide from the worst of trauma.

..normally when that occurs, a mind cannot be reached except with great assistance. ::" ..Aleaic understands and adds.. ":: ...which where the Hikari Power comes in. ::"

Arashi nods. ":: The power has allowe us a Bond that no other can understand with ease. That Bond allowed us to find you more swiftly than would have been otherwise. ::"

Aleaic smiles and looks around. ":: This is, even with all the recent powers, lands, and all, the place I will remember as the happiests times of my life, no matter how long it becomes.

Here.. you both brought out a child that the Powers could recognize. Here we made the innocent times really mean something. I often still reminisce far too often about here above all else...

..and here is where I met you both the first time. Well, besides the mall and that wierd dungeon below the school. ::" ..which makes the two ladies giggle.

Aleaic then sighs. ":: If not for this, everything we hold dear now would be gone. I think I use that in trying to protect what we have. ::"

Tsunami chides.. ":: You can do that without anger ruling you. Remeber what you said about emotions once? ::"

":: ...they are tools of choice to a soul. ::" ..Arashi finishes. Aleaic chuckles. ":: Aye..

..guess I need to heed my own wisdom. ::"

Tsunami flicks Aleaic's ear with.. ":: You need to stop trying to take all aspects on your own. We all did agree to help you when you accepted that Power thing. Heck, without us, where would you be now? ::"

Al looks at Tsui simply. ":: Didn't I say that a few lines back? I'd be nothing. ::"

..then, the two ladies take a hand each of their husband, with Tsui saying. ":: Then let us help now. That dammed Wave thing is about to attack and destroy all that.... ::"

Aleaic shakes his head. ":: No...

...what we have now, and what we learned from our history, we can use with a little boost, and protect everything we have gained.

Not for just us, but for everyone that is threatened with this Wave. ::"

At that, the love between the three, begins to become an actual force of power. It helps lead Aleaic out of his inert state.......

--

....and begins to grow from the three in physical reality, as a new bubble of Hikari Energy, it eventually becomes visible as a growing fountain of light, rather than a pillar, for a swirl of tendrils that become more and more numerous. Yet another form of the Angelhawk Wings, in a far more gentile form, created by a triad of love.

Creation having felt this, begins to amplify it with her own power.

Moments after this happens, the Trees also amplify on this, and by then, the Partners silently also 'assist', never revealing in words, as Jayce faced Morganna.

This power of Light and Love, literal make, grows to challenge the Wave itself.

Creation finally reveals by a striking tone of.. "(( :: ~ The Wave is doomed to the Light's whim. ~ :: ))"

Morganna thinks to her self ( now is the time for the power to be reborn)

She then puts on a act " MAGUS STOP THEM BEFOR ITS TOO LATE"

With this Magus the 3rd dark one appeared it seemed to be a stick typ thing with leafs. It slowly started to move towrd Jayce

Jayce smiled " Time to die Magus"

Jayce charges magus and started to punch it over and over. Magus had tough skin but even it felt the pain.

Magus struck back by useing beams like that from the trees but it was black. They shot from its leafs and were like a cutting beam they moved in a random pattern jayce was doing all he could to not be hit by then however he was cut a few times.

Just then, Magus is struck from the sides by Funaho and Masaki with twin 'beams' of flowerlike petals, literally cutting him all over with hundreds of lightpetals.

As if that wasn't enough, six Angel Gods jump in and shoot pulse blasts at the creature all over.

...and if 'that' wasn't enough, the Trees sensing the insult that Magus was, start SLAMMING Wing Shields all around MAgus, like he was being slammed with several million ton bricks of force.

Creation meanwhile senses Morganna's sudden 'rush', and imparts.. "(( :: ~ I sense the fear of the darkness.

..I suggest you hurry or all will be too late. ~ :: ))" ..with a deliberate snide tone of insult at the dark goddess, as the Energy continues to amplify.

Now the very Shield of Hikari around White Diamond is beginning to amplify in this wash of power.

Jayce took advantage of this and drew his sword. He ran with godly speed and cut magus in half. But when he did his eyes widened.

" ITS A TRAP!!!!"

The ground started to shake as morgannas powers jumped much higher.

The wave it self could now be seen in space above the gaian homeworld.

Morganna said " And by the Power of Magus,
a drop from the Wave doth reach the heavens,
and creates a new Wave.

Morganna puts a powerful barrier around her

" You poor fools helped the wave be reborn even more powerful then it had been. Why do you think Magus was so easy.. When you destroyed him his power brought the wave back"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Other plants all over Neo Zeta and The Gaian Ascendancy started to have strange weather. And a since of darkness spread.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jessica said. " no matter how much good we do it just gets worse...." The tree Kikyo felt her sadness and stoped its help do to jessicas will to fight was gone.

Aura however closed her eyes as a powerful aura of light started to grow around her.

Above the Republic worlds, souls watch as the sky warps and makes hell above.

The heavens blackened... all seems lost...

---

...as this happens, came another voice in response. ":: ~ It is revealed.

..it is time my Family. ~ ::" ..came the suprise voice of Aleaic, as he speaks not to anyone here in particular..

..but to another extended out of the senses.

Aleaic, standing with his wives beside him, simply says..

":: ~ The Wave created by the heavens, reveal with intent..
..the intent becomes naked before the devices of the light and scale..
..the unnatural is stood before by Titans that meet the newborn death..

..and face it's elders and learn it's place...

..by the Founders intent. ~ ::"

At that moment his mind reaches his bretherin..

...the ones he fought with his mind so damn hard to 'not' become a part of, by forced by their hand in the end, and now with everything at the brink, are called by blood of the stars themselves.

..The Powers themselves begin to reveal themselves, simply by appearing as points of light, small in size, no larger than a human.

...but in numbers that the very stars themselves are covered up by.

Across the worlds of Ascendancy and Zetan, they appear by the uncountable billions.

..and with them in their simple format, comes their power.

The Wave is easily outmatched in that moment, all of which becomes an extension of every being of light that emits the same. Aura, Aleaic, the Trees, the souls and Angelics, everything and more...

...and they all refuse to allow their world to end.

Morganna had enough her body transformed into Corbenik. She was now the soul of the wave.

Jayce cocky with his new power charged Corbenik. As he drew close a root shot from the ground wraping around him.

Corbenik smiled as she started to suck the power from him and pump darkness into him.

Jessica seeing this knew she had to do somthing

she cried out " I HAVE THIS NEW POWER AND YET I CANT HELP MY BROTHER. I WANT TO HELP HIM" With those words a beam shot from the tree kikyo cutting the roots from jayce.

However he was weak and would be able to keep up the fight

He said " Its up to you guys......"

Jayce fell to the ground and was out cold.

..at which point Belldandy yells.. "What do we do?"

Aleaic replies ever once more. ":: ~ Do not fight back... ~ ::"

While the others near are stunned by this, Aleaic is readily quick to inform.. ":: ~ To attempt to create destruction only feeds this thing.

..the force of anger will not destroy it.

..but what 'can' expunge it, is the one thing the darkness abhores the most above all, the one thing even Entropy cannot cleanse utterly...

..feel where the cherishment of life comes from within your own souls, and feel that to become an object the darkness cannot defend against.

The Light ~ ::"

At that, the Powers all around begin to use their version of this to blunt away with awsome abandon, the Dark Wave, shoving it back like a dawn defeating the dark of morning.

It works inward, with the 'shell' the extent of the Wave. The shell moves into the Mantle, where the worlds are affected, and then forced back. Deeper still runs to the Core Words of each nation..

..and the last, the Capital Worlds, down to the Alcove where the Powers magnify the Light beyond the ability of the Wave to withstand. Here at the source of the Wave, All that is the Light begins to swamp the Wave in a massive tidal energy.

Creation, Tsunami and Arashi then give local focus of this energy and Aleaic drives it deep into Corbenik, and moreso with Morganna as the final target. The massive assault of light begins to remove the dark power within it, rendering it inert more and more, until finally it floods the Wave.

With a voice of 'everyone', all the Powers, all the mortals, all the immortals, all the light in one combined voice directed at Corbenik.

"((((( ::::: ~ You are right.. one alone cannot defeat the darkness..

...but with 'all' souls together, the Light can!! ~ ::::: ))))))"

..and the overbearing Light consumes Corbenik, breaking Morganna from her power utterly.

Aura slowly walks to morganna who stands there powerless the wave gone. " You win aura you and your friends win" with that she uses the tiny powers she has left to return to where she belongs.

Jayce slowly stands up and says " sadly the darkness has more then just the wave. I feel we will have more in the future to face.....But for now its time for peace."

He turns and looks at the others

" So tell me do i look like a human anymore? heh"

Jessica with tears in her eyes " It dosnt matter your back thats all that matters"

Aura with out any words runs to jayce and embraces him and then kisses him to his great shock... he then returned the kiss.

After he looked at Aleaic " This could be the start of a grand allience if you wish. Hiei is dead and the wave defeated. the evil that had controle of Neo Zeta is gone. Its time for peace to take root and for our loved ones to be able to enjoy life."

Aleaic just replies back with a normal tone.. "Of course. An alliance would be very good to have, not to mention profitable.

..oh, and by the way..

..you look marvelous." ..said with a pointed finger wave.

Then Aleaic is suddenly yanked around and kissed hard and passionately by Tsui. Course this leads to Arashi taking her turn..

Isarra looks at the three and blush.. "Mothers... Father... get a room man."

--

This ends essentially, the Wave Saga, and the beginning of the rise of the Hikari Power of the Gaia.

Aleaic officially begins his 'term' of being a Power, having used the same help to end a major threat, the new machinations are now to become far more intracite than Aleaic will ever expect..

..two days later, a ceremony is held declaring that the situation of the Wave and the attacks on the Council were not of Zetan origin. The dissent caused by Innus among the populace is struck down, even more when the offer of an official alliance is declared.

In three weeks time, the Ascendancy will host the talks to engage the alliance into an official act. With the addition of all the internal alliances in the Colony Galaxies, the Ascendancy stands to become yet stronger still, all the while adding to the Zetan's own expansion.

The days of growth will continue, prosperity all but undeniable now.

( so i guess you will make a new thread for the talks?)

((OC- We can do it in my Trade Conference thread since peace reigns once more. =^^= I'll bump it up in a bit here..))
