Alexis hummed to herself, enjoying her little moment of freedom. The animal life here wasn't some evil remnants of a lost civilization trying to destroy all life, the plant life wasn't withering under her feet or spewed out some poisonous zombie making spores, and she didn't have to keep an eye out for card soldiers or insane lunatics trying to kill everything that moved. Yes, it was a glorious walk.

A few minutes later, she spotted Gale coming towards her, carrying two bunnies. Two dead bunnies. Poor bunnies. She didn't normally condone Gale wandering off on his own, but those worries didn't plague her as she happily waved at the boy. "Hi Gale!" She said, wrapping the boy in a hug.

Her mind wandered slightly, hearing the sounds of someone approaching. She let go of Gale to see a rather irate looking woman glaring at her. She didn't know what bothered her, but she knew it wouldn't last long, it was too nice out! Actually, to her realization, she saw that the star that circled this world was disappearing from view. She remembered Coden mentioning earlier his desire to head out, so she held onto Gale's hand, grabbing Angelique's arm as she passed her. "We should probably head back!" She said with a happy grin growing if not even larger on her face. Coden was there, and Gale was there, and the Tarot Master was not. So what if she didn't have her powers right now? That dark oppressive blanket was lifted inside her and she was happy.

Angelique kept as close to Alexis' trail as she could. When she came across Gale, she gave a look of disgust at the two rabbits he was carrying, though she ignored him. It was then that Alexis decided to make her reappearance, still too happy, grabbing her arm as she grabbed Gale's hand and beginning to drag them back off toward the cart. The cart where Pala was, now without powers for who knew how long...(she stopped that train of thought). The cart in a foreign land on a foreign planet with no way out. A planet where no one's power seemed to work right anymore...

And there was Alexis...happier than anyone had any right to be while they were stuck there. Away from their own planets, away from her home. She grit her teeth as the stress of the situation began to take its toll and--

SMACK!

Angelique stood there, breathing heavily, glaring at the girl whom she had just slapped on the face, ripping her arm out of her grasp.

"WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM!? WE'RE STUCK HERE AND YOU'RE GALLIVANTING OFF LIKE IT'S A SUNNY PARK IN YOUR HOME TOWN! Well guess what? It's. Not. We're STUCK HERE until YOU can find a way to get us OFF this world and BACK to one of our own! Or better yet, back to FRAGMENT so we can prevent our worlds from BEING DESTROYED! Or does that not matter to you anymore?"

She had truly begun to have it with this group. None of them seemed all that interested in getting back, all too concerned with each other in one way or the other and fighting and worrying, ignoring the big picture...

Grabbing onto the taller girl's arm, she moved close, the white's around her eyes flashing to black momentarily as her power spiked, wilting the grass beneath her feet as water pooled around them.

"Find a way to get us out of here, Alexis or so help me..." She forced herself to stop. She wasn't about to go threatening any of these morons after the trouble she'd gone through so far to keep them safe enough to be of use to her, but oh did she want to slap the girl again. Slap all of them back to reality.

By that point in her musings, she had turned away from Alexis, from the cart, and had begun to walk along the path away from them. It was getting dark as the sun sunk lower, the trees blocking out the light so her vision began to darken, but she kept moving, breaking into a run, and at some point flight, though she didn't know entirely when.

When found and hugged, he squirmed a little bit. Though Alexis never did anything against him... it was just... it felt... different? than it did when he didn't have his memories. Those dream like feelings that felt so uncanny and disturbing to him now that he looked back. Being coddled and treated like the child his body looked. He was eighteen! He didn't...

Holding onto Alexis' hand, he looked over at the other lady. She still made him feel rather...defensive. A feeling which escalated all the more when she smacked Alexis and yelled at her. The boy felt a deep growl come from himself and when she ran off after her threat, he slipped from Alexis' grasp and chased after her.

But he only went a couple of steps before returning to Alexis. He wanted to give chase - how he wanted to bash her face into the ground and break her teeth from her mouth - but Alexis was still there and he was hungry.

So, silently, he slipped back to her side and waited for her to decide where to go.

Alexis stood horrendously still while Angelique yelled at her, eyes wide as she vented her anger and frustrations at her. Her fingers gingerly stroked the slight sting on her cheek as the woman ran off. She knew she should come up with a response… anything. She normally would get mad, spring upon the woman with her accusations of not caring, yell at her that she was doing all she knew how to without doing anything that would compromise them all. For even without her powers, she knew of one way to get off this world… But the consequences were too high for her. But the response never came, nor did the boiling heat that spread through her limbs, every part of her wanting to tear the woman apart… Just… nothing… save the giddy feeling that kept her feeling dreadfully light on her feet. That she even realized what her response should have been was an improvement technically, though it didn’t change her actions.

The smile returned slightly, and her hand went down to mess with Gale’s hair somewhat before pointing out the cart, “If you want to go ahead and cook those, I’m sure that the others wouldn’t mind something, I’ll catch right up” Alexis said in her cheerful tone as she sped off after Angelique. It took a little longer than normal, as she couldn’t go at any great speed, but she found if she shifted the air currents around her, she could move akin to her time acceleration. Eventually stopping at a tree, she looked upwards, the happy grin returning. She stood on her toes and stretched out her arms to gently pick up a small pink fluffball of a bird out of a branch and set her onto her head. “Let’s head back. I know you must feel frustrated, but really… it’s not as bad as it could be… We’ll figure out a way to get out of here… and time rolls differently on different worlds, so we can tweak things so it’ll be like we never left…” She said, trying to reassure not only Angelique, but the little part of herself in the back of her mind that had begun to worry if they were ever going to get away… “I’m sure we’ll think of something soon… it’s just been…. A rather odd day is all…”

She headed back to the others, not going quite as fast as before, enjoying the quiet solitude that had fallen over the forest. She assured herself that it’d all work out soon, and she’d figure something out… Maybe the others would be able to help? She mentally shrugged, slipping back into the happy mood that had gripped her for the last hour or so. Soon enough she reached the road, and from there it’d only take a minute or so till she got back to the others.

Pala remained disconnected from everybody else's reality, and all her inner struggles were badly translated through her dull state. She knew that they should get moving, and at the same time, she felt uncomfortable as Coden sat there. What was he trying to do? Intimidate her? It mattered little, her reactions would never reach the surface.
Her dull iips parted, as the sun begen the process of tucking itself away behind the veil of night, and she attempted to speak her feelings.
"We should go."
She failed. Perhaps that was a good thing, this time.

Angelique let out a rather irritated chirp as she was set on Alexis' head, letting her know that she was still irritated. For good measure, she gave her a peck on the head before settling down in the wild hair, glaring at the darkness she couldn't see through. It couldn't be that far past sundown, (as she could make out very vague shapes if she strained her vision) meaning there was still light enough for most creatures to see fairly well but it might as well have been the dead of night to her.

When they got back to the camp she could see the fire and make out the outline of the boy cooking the rabbits on it. Using the light as a guide, she took off from Alexis' head, trying to find the cart. After several collisions with various objects and people, she managed to find her way in and settled down on the top of a haystack, making the occasional unhappy chirp if anyone approached too near. Settling down, she tried to sleep.

Regarding her quiet reply with equal silence, Coden nodded. They did need to move. He knew the farmer was eager to leave, but he could tell the old man had given up on travel. Coden was surprised the old geezer hadn't abandoned them yet. Or perhaps the old man simply feared for his own life, after seeing what they were capable of?

Shaking his head softly, Coden pushed up from his seat. Though never left Pala's immediate company. He waited for the others. First Gale, whom scurried in from the woods, eagerly starting a fire to cook a pair of rabbits. Soon to follow him was a little bird that dove into the hay. And following the bird was Alexis, a tinge of red marring her pale cheek.

"We shall go...", Coden murmured to Pala. And packed up their group. Alexis was easy enough to put into the cart. Silently observing her marred face and just as silently picking her up and putting her in the cart. Gale wouldn't be as easy to move, being he looked intent to cook and eat his game. Summoning a twinge of flame to his hand, Coden charbroiled the rabbits. The intense heat burning off the fur, blackening the skin, and likely cooking it all through. Kicking out Gales little campfire, Coden pat the boy on the head and had him stored in the cart as well with his rabbits.

"No more stops. No more fights. No more delays. We move now." Locking up the back of the cart, Coden went to the front and let the Farmer drive them on down the road, as they should have done what felt like hours ago.

Gale sat contently in the back of the cart, munching happily on his kill. There was a certain way to cook them so that the juices stayed inside and made it nice and soft, but Coden's way was... all right... Gale supposed. He bit into the under belly of the rabbit and as he yanked away the meat, the intestine was caught as well. Dripping juices he quickly ate up, the soft rocking beneath him making him sway to and fro, to and fro.

He sat at the back of the cart after he finished eating, lost in thought and kicking his legs over the edge. It felt good to remember most things again. Rook, Aurion, Alzeri... Though other things... He stole a look at the front of the cart. Despite his words, could Gale of trust him again? Despite what he said... how could he? He turned back and stared into the night.

At least they were getting to that city place, he heard the farmer say. Ba sing Se... Wonder what was there.

Alexis sat in the middle of the cart rather calmly for a while, picking apart piece after piece after piece after piece of straw into tiny shreds. Two minutes into the ride and she was bored. Bored bored bored bored bored. Well… This wouldn't do. Everyone back in the cart was being boring. Angelique was pouting in the corner, Pala wasn't talking to her, and Gale was eating his catch… Rather messily. Her stomach churned, the giddy feeling mixing together with it to make her feel ill. Deciding that some fresh air would be nice, she slipped through the nook that separated the back of the cart to the front bench.

The cool air blew her hair back, a nice change from the warm humid air inside the cart. With a quick and cheerful hello to the farmer and Coden she proceeded to probably talk both of their ears off. Happily she inquired about the most random things that her mind could conceive. On a useful note, she found out that before they made their way to the big city, they had to cross a massive inland lake. More importantly, they needed passports, which some part of Alexis worried about. They didn't have any sort of passports… did they? Otherwise, most of the things she found out about weren't all that important, delving for a long time into a game she had played on some other world long ago…. Pai Sho or something like that… It was the closest thing to a peaceful time she had with certain peoples in a while, without some sort of skirmish or bothersome problem ruining it.

As the night wore on, the conversations grew shorter and farther between, and eventually they were left in a semblance of silence. Staring upwards at the trees and mountains around them with bright eyes, she fiddled with her necklace with her fingers. She felt like saying something to Coden, as she was so close right now, with few opportunities like this around, and this giddy feeling spurred her to do something… but she wasn't sure exactly what.

It had been a long and eventful day. Not that he wasn't use to that already. Though with the night waning on and little more than a dim lantern dangling from a stick to light their darkening path, Coden expected for the rest of their journey to be relatively quiet, at least until morning. He never enjoyed any bit of peace he received for long, though. Call it a curse to balance his evil deeds.

With Alexis hanging close, he let her restless dribble keep him awake. His head nodding, whether to feign attention or because he was falling asleep at her prattle, every so often. Time passed with Alexis' bored bantering and Coden began to wonder if she was even taking breaths in between. He hadn't been paying an awful lot of attention, so he couldn't tell. What in Tarots name as spurred up such energy in her jaw anyhow? He'd never known a person who could talk so much! Well...no...there was...but he killed that person ages ago. Wonder why....

When she finally quieted down, Coden felt a heave of relief wash over him. He hadn't wanted to strangle Alexis for a long time. She'd nearly reached to top of his 'things to kill' list again. Granted she was still there, but that was another thing.
With it getting quieter and quieter, Coden felt a tinge of worry. Had she noticed he was ignoring her? Casting the young Moipai a side glance, he gave her a small nudge.
"Y'Okay? You've gotten rather quiet."

Alexis turned around rather quickly, flustered looking. "I'm fine, course I'm fine…" She said, fingering her necklace even more. "I just figured that the others had probably fallen asleep by now, and I didn't want to wake them up. Why? Did you want to talk about something?" Judging by the look Coden just gave her, that wasn't exactly what he had in mind. "Or not…"

Conflict began to wear at her, infringing on the lightheaded happiness that had been driving her along throughout the last few hours. Part of her wanted to try to say something… meaningful… as the opportunities seemed rather rare. But she didn't want to sound like an idiot, as she began to suspect that she had in previous conversations. Nor did she want to sound to pushy… or uninterested… or silly… Geeze meaningful conversation was hard. But she couldn't just sit here, letting opportunity go to waste! But, what if…. Nothing would go wrong…But…

"I… I don't know how long we're going to be stuck here… I can't get my magic to work right either… But… At least there's one thing that's good about what happened…" Giving in to that mental push, Alexis impulsively leaned over and kissed him passionately. After a few seconds, she pulled away, eyes widened, blushing rather heavily. She quickly sat back down, half congratulating herself, half berating herself for her rash action. Fingers fumbling rather clumsily as she stared at the floorboards, "This has been a rather…. odd…. day….."

Pala remained idle in the back of the cart, trapped in a prison defined by her own soul.
Why had this happened to her?
Was it even worth it? She had given herself up just to help the others, and now she had lost herself.
She wondered if they even cared that she was now empty, unable to even be human.
She felt...betrayed. The boy had thrown it back in her face, Coden had barely reacted, she was unsure about him. Alexis..she had merely resorted to acting childish. From misery she had gone to the other extreme. She needed to get things together, not just to leap around and be cheerful.
Pala had known it was bad to trust any of them, yet what had possessed her to try and help them? It was ridiculous.
A spark of anger burned inside. She had to get out of this state.

Figured as much, Coded thought as Alexis mentioned her lack of powers. He'd assumed as much there first few hours on this world. All that trouble they'd gone through, and not a single time stop. He could have assumed as much that she was being cautious or trying to prove something. That had all escaped him the moment things escalated into bloodshed. She'd have never let that happen had she the power to evade it.

He frowned. That meant they were stuck here. Each handicapped in their own pitiful way. First his watch. Alexis' Powers, Gales mentality, Pala's lacking of powers and personality there of, and The fire girls--well...He wasn't entirely sure what was wrong with her, except that she had temper as edgy as an active volcano.

While pondering how life might be on this strange world, his thought were interrupted by an abrupt invasion of personal space. immediately followed up by a warm, wet, and not at all unfavored sensation of passionate contact. It's equally abrupt end left the Gypus with an empty drawl as his mind attempted to catch up with reality.

Finally snapping to attention, Coden pasted his eyes to his knees, making a miserable attempt at looking casual. Clearing his thought, he muttered a quiet agreement. And after managing to swallow the hard lump of embarrassment trying to flood his face, he leaned over quietly and pressed a small kiss to the side of Alexis' forehead.
Silently returning face foreward in his seat, Coden attempted the simmer away the heated lump now settled in the pit of his stomach.

Alexis snuggled up against Coden, her blush refusing to dissipate. Butterflies danced inside her, and yet her mouth refused to open. She didn’t know what to say. For a few minutes she sat there in silence, staring a hole in the wooden floor below. Simply feeling the warmth of his arm against her cheek, listening to the rhythmic inhale and exhale of his breathing next to her. So simple… and yet the moment meant something to her. It was those little things that she treasured the most, it seemed.

“…When I get my powers back… And we end up back on Fragment… I know that you and I are on different sides… and that we can’t truly be together until the war is over… Afterwards… do you think it’s possible… If you wanted to that is… Would you want to go to some world where there ISN’T some war happening? At least for a little while? I know that you… you like all of the fighting… but I… I wouldn’t mind a little bit of peace, if only for a while… But… if you wanted to go back to your world… that’s fine… Even here isn’t perfect, getting dragged into another war… Just for a little while… I would like it if… we could…. I don’t know….”

She sighed, before going silent again. How hard was it to talk anyway? And the @$@%% blush wouldn’t go away… Why even now couldn’t she say what she wanted to say? Her hands fidgeted as she thought, worrying if she said the wrong thing, wondering if the others were listening in, worried that after all of this mess was over, that he’d just want to go back to his old life, and never see her again.

Angelique refrained from joining in any conversation with the others. In fact she refrained from switching back to her human form, instead making herself comfortable on the hay and falling asleep there. Leave the others to their various dramas and problems, she didn't care...she was sick of dealing with them already. After all, she took care of her own problems first.

"...plans for expansion," Nicolette said, handing her a manilla folder. Taking the folder, Angelique looked through it.

"Looks fine, put their request for funding through to accounting," she said, glancing up at the clock and frowning. "That clock's still broken. Why haven't they taken it down or fixed it yet?"

The floor changed from the hard tiles of the lab to the carpet of the main offices.

"It's been almost a hundred years, I don't think they're going to fix it, Miss Moreau," her secretary said, taking the folder.

"Well somebody should do something about it," she snapped, continuing toward the door out of the room.

"Maybe you should fix it?"

Angelique paused, glancing at the clock again. "I'll look at it another time." Turning back toward the dark archway, she left the room, stepping out onto the springy grass. Apparently it had just rained, recently as storm clouds rolled overhead still and puddles of muddy water lay all over the ground.

Passing a decorative pond, Angelique glanced at it, going over to see if any of the fish were visible, but it was impossible for even her vision to penetrate the murk and gloom. Turning back to the path, she avoided several headstones as her heart seemed to skip a beat. She always hated coming here, this cemetery. It made her feel uneasy. Halfway through, she stopped, turning to her left to look at the grave markers over there. Thunder rolled overhead as a few droplets of freezing rain fell, making her shiver. Recognizing some of the markers, she began to feel sick, guilt rising, and turned to continue down the path, running. She had to get away from there...

"Hey Ladybird, where ya goin'?"

She stopped, turning to see Robert trot up to her, umbrella in hand. Trust him to remember what she forgot. Shivering slightly from the rain, she waited for him to catch up, skirt shifting around in the wind as it picked up.

"So what're you doing all the way out here?" he asked, setting his coat over her shoulders and falling in step with her, umbrella protecting the both of them from the rain.

"I just felt like a walk," Angelique said, watching birds flit around in the trees.

"A walk through a cemetery? Sounds pretty morbid."

She glanced sideways at him. "No, just...a tribute..."

Turning, she looked over the expansive plot of land where hundreds of stone markers rested, naming those who had passed on.

"So why were you here, Robert?" Angelique asked, turning back to look at him, only to blink when he wasn't there. "Robert?" The wind seemed to be picking back up.

From behind her, she felt arms wrap around her waist as her fiance pressed up against her back.

"Don't you remember, Angelique?"

"Remember what?" her heart seemed to race faster as her nerves wound themselves tight. She didn't want to know...

"I'm already dead..."

Looking down, she saw the decayed arms wrapped around her and screamed as they caught on fire, the flesh seeming to melt off of them...

Breaking away, she took off running, refusing to look back, heart pounding, breath coming in gasps. When she reached the far gate, she nearly ran into it before she slowed down enough to pull on it...

But it wouldn't budge.

"Angelique, where ya goin'?"

More familiar voices...but she didn't turn around. 'Oh gods...Ra, please open...' She pulled on the gate harder, trying to melt it, use a spell to destroy it, anything. Finally she began to climb. When she felt a hand on her ankle, she sent out a wall of flames behind her, ignoring the screams and scent of burning flesh. Dropping to the ground on the other side, she turned around to face the cemetery.

"A-angelique..."

Robert held onto the gate, flesh blackened and melting, popping, eyes pleading, hand reaching through the gate.

"Oh gods no...you're dead...you're already dead!" Closing her eyes, she tried to block out the sounds, the smells....tried to erase that last image from her memory.

"Angelique...why?" Agony, pain, confusion.

"I...it was an accident!" She dropped to her knees, no longer able to stand, let alone run. "I didn't mean to, leave me alone!" Tangling her hands in her hair, she felt the strands slipping out, falling to the ground.

Looking up, she realized that she was in her grandmother's house. With a shake of her head, she stood up and looked around. The house was dark and empty with no sign of Nicolette, making her wonder if she'd been delayed in the cemetery as well...

Angelique took a few steps toward the living room, avoiding the various pieces of broken medical equipment and spare mechanical parts that littered the floor. She stopped in her tracks and turned toward the window only to look right into the eyes sockets of a grinning skull, still wearing Robert's clothes. Bony fingers scraped down the window, causing her to scream and run toward the nearest door, throwing it open and running through.

She was in the basement. It was a long, seemingly endless hall all in white. Not a trace of color was seen anywhere except on her, not even on the clothes of the medical staff that walked silently up and down it, occasionally entering a room or leaving one. Her heart pounded as she made her way down the hall toward the nearest door.

She needed to get out of view before they decided to lock her up again.

Pushing open the door, she entered the room. It was dark with dim light filtering in through curtains drawn over the window. She walked forward, stopping beside the bed and leaning down over it. She had her kit in her hand, a heavy bag full of various implements used in ritual magic. This wasn't going to be a simple process after all. On the floor was the shell she had created. The most advanced body robotics and magic could offer currently, though still not quite human, she had faith that with time she'd be able to make it nearly as liveable as Nicolette's current human one...

At least she hoped so.

"What are you doing?" Nicolette's weak voice croaked out from the blankets before she began a coughing fit.

"Sh...it'll be okay...I'm going to save you..." Angelique assured her, pulling things out of the bag, various plants and metal bowls to burn them in. 'Please don't die...I don't think I could stand it if I lost you, too...'

A scratching at the window made her pause to look up. Going over, she drew back the curtains and screamed, jumping back from the skeletal figure that stared in again, bones scratching through the glass...

Angelique ran down the hallway away from the window, screaming. Several pairs of arms wrapped around her, forcing her to stop moving.

"NO! Stop! LET ME GO!!" She thrashed, but her arms were immobilized by a straightjacket. She fell back against the padded wall of her cell, curling up. Why was this happening...

"Looks like you've gotten yourself into quite the mess little bird," Kain said, leaning against the wall. She didn't bother ask how he'd gotten in. In fact she hadn't bothered to say much in several weeks, or was it months now?

"I'm here to rescue you," kneeling down in front of her, Kain cut the straps that held her arms pinned and pulled her up. "You remember how to walk?" When she nodded, he began to drag her forward. "C'mon..."

They ran down the hall, going further and further into it. The medical staff watched as they passed, turning toward them as if to follow. Angelique stopped looking at them, eyes closed.

'Just get me out of here...'

Kain stopped and so did she, staring around in horror as she noticed they were surrounded. Nicolette in the new robotic body watching her in anger, Robert, reaching for her...the doctors coming up from behind her. Didn't they see the SKELETONS standing in front of them?

"Come on Evelyn, let's get you back to your room..."

She looked at Kain, but he just shrugged. "I tried."

"No...NO NO NO!!!" With a sudden release of power, flames sprung up around her as the floor crumbled beneath her, sending her falling, screaming, down into the churning waters below.


With a slight jump, Angelique woke up, hay poking at her as she looked around. Everything was still dark meaning she still couldn't see anything. Her heart pounded and she suddenly wished that there was somebody there she could actually stand to be around. Huddling down, she let out a quiet, desperate chirp before trying to get back to sleep.

She was pulling herself together, this time. She didn't want, nor need any help. The anger, the indignation inside her acted as a pilot light, something she could pull herself around.
The anger built into a rage, the rage into fury, and eventually burned into a berserking rampage - it exploded out, and blew away the white world around her.

She found her teeth gritting against each other, fists clenched, and sweat streaming down her brow. Argh, she had to do something, and do it now! Alexis was never going to discover a way out of here by being all cheerful and giddy. She had to force that power to jump back to her. Pala hadn't been disconnected from her own, perhaps she could incite a reaction in Alexis if she...

Pala turned, and looked at Angelique. She could help, she seemed to be in the same disposition as Pala in her furious state. Pala laid her hand upon the sleeping bird, and nudged it slightly.
"Wake up. I need help. I want to...'frighten' Alexis' powers back into her."
She knew that was the least of what she planned...

Quietly he pondered Alexis' shy request. Really, deeply thought about it. In another time, he'd have scoffed and brushed it off like dirt from his shoulder. Times had changed though. Still were. He was considering his future. His past. There was nothing left for him in his world aside from a name, a sentence, and blurred out past with memories yet lost to him. Memories he'd begun to give up searching for.
Could this be another chance? A chance to....

No. He had no regrets. He didn't believe in redemption. What's done is done; the stains of his sins ran too deep. There was only hope of leading his life a different direction and healing what little purity he himself had left. Granted he was willing to be...normal. Could he really expose that to Alexis, though? To Adulthood? She was still so young...

"Why must love be so complicated...." He slurred in a airy sigh of dismay, his words more so inaudible than at all.
Slipping his arm from under Alexis' cheek, Coden placed his hand a top her head with a small pat. Then placed his arm back on his knees as he hunched forward in his seat. Neck craned to watch a shooting star with mild interest. "If it would please you....", he murmured finally. "we shall see what happens."

Angelique cracked an eye open to look at the other woman...or at least try to. Her form was still obscured by darkness, forcing Angelique to summon up a few tiny flames that hovered in the air between them so she could see Pala clearly.

Working her jaw a few times and testing some word shapes with her tongue, she responded in a whistling accent not unlike a parrot speaking.

"And just what are you planning?" She asked, giving the woman a slightly annoyed look for having woken her up from a non nightmare. "I doubt that scaring her is going to help recover her powers. Mine aren't working right here either," She paused, ruffling her feathers slightly. "But I suppose as I'd rather not ignore any options that might lead to getting out of here...depending on what you want I might be inclined to help."

The boy listened idly to the conversations. If he positioned his ears just right, he could hear everything Alexis and Coden said - and did.

He pondered the actions as he watched the dirt road roll bye, as the stars grew dimmer while the sky grew brighter, pinker. Kisses were bad. How he knew that, he was unclear. But they were bad. Horrible, torturing things. But... He shook his head. "No, no..." he murmured. They were bad. So why... Clamping a hand to his forehead, he steeled himself. They were not good. Not at all.

So he decided to save Alexis from them. But, even unknown to Gale, there was something else. He told himself he was going there to keep Alexis away from the kissing, but that excuse left him shaky with the thought that he was missing something. Either way, he stepped across Pala, who was talking to his breakfast, and scampered through the nook to the front seat.

Settling between Alexis and the driver, he looked forward, seeing a rise and some building type things behind it. Turning to Alexis, he asked, "how much long, you think?"

"This probably sounds like a bad idea, but it's more then anyone else is doing. You've probably heard this before, but i think Alexis' powers can be awakened again, i think they're just dormant, whilst in this...world. We...need to convince her that we mean to kill her. I'm not demanding you do it, but i'd prefer a little help incase things don't go my way." Pala felt her own rage coming under control, now.
"If this goes right, she should be able to take his home. I think this will work, because i seem to be somewhat unnaffected by this world, and perhaps that will rub off on to her."
Pala gritted her teeth, and tried to look confident.
"What do you say? I'm going with or without you."

Alexis hadn’t realized what time it was when Gale suddenly appeared. Rubbing her eyes she glanced over at the boy, scratching his head. He still liked that… right? The unnatural giddy feeling had long since dissipated, replaced by a small bit of hope that had almost seemed lost for the longest time. A small smile still clung to her, as she looked ahead. There seemed to be a mass of people in the sheltered buildings up ahead, and beyond that, a body of water that stretched far beyond the horizon. If the man was right, they’d need to take a boat to this big city… Ba Sing Se… Why were they going there again? She tried to remember… Possibly they had people skilled in non-elemental magic’s… Maybe they’d be able to help…

“Pretty soon Gale… You should probably see if the others are awake…” She yawned, glancing back behind her. They should probably figure out what they were going to do… It was one thing for her to sneak into a city… That wouldn’t be so bad… It was an entire group that made it difficult. She hoped that they didn’t press to hard on who they were, for all they knew they were refugees… And she didn’t want to continue to bother the farmer if she could avoid it, probably already traumatizing him…

"Hmph," Angelique fluttered her wings, jumping up into the air so she landed on the edge of the wagon, bringing her to a higher position, closer to eye level. "I wouldn't last in a fight against her element to element even if my powers weren't currently screwed up and I'd rather not die again." She paused. Honestly she hated using her fire powers in a fight if she could avoid it. For various reasons. "I will at least consider your proposal. I might assist you should you need it, but I'm not making any guarantees at the moment. You can proceed as you will."

Turning to look through a hole in the tarp, she noticed that light was beginning to seep into the air, allowing her to make out indistinct shapes nearby.

Pala held down a sneer at angelique, and merely nodded. She'd expected a little mere...eagerness.
"I know in my homeworld if ones' powers are dormant, a life threatening situation, something to force one into desperation is sometimes enough to awaken those dormant abilities. I want her fully convinced i mean to kill her. That means if she calls for help, you'd better help her. She can't have any suspicion this is a trick."
Pala leapt out of the back of the cart and ran to the front, feigning a mad rage. She tried to recall that burning sensation that brought her out of the preious, emotionless state.

Stopping a few yards ahead of the cart, she roared and called up pillars of stone around the the cart, and let loose a blast of air directly at Alexis. Whilst it wouldn't hurt them much, it would have Alexis, and Coden on the alert. She just had to keep him off her, unharmed. She regretted it, but she knew she may have to harm Alexis if she truly wanted to frighten the girl.

Alexis had begun to doze off when suddenly a eerie tingling feeling sent chills down her spine. Something was wrong… She jolted up, instinctively bringing to mind the spell to stop time on the upcoming attack , which to her dismay, didn’t work. A blast of air knocked her clean out of the seat, landing hard on the ground. Quickly getting on her feet, she tried to figure out who attacked. There weren’t any soldiers around; the port city was still a good mile ahead… The only one who could have done it… was Pala.

She stood stock still, trying to put the pieces together for a half second, before having to bolt as the ground beneath her began to churn and spike up around her. Staying solely on the defensive, she tried to figure out why. Why was she attacking? Why now? She tried to get the woman to stop, to see some sort of reason, but she seemed hell bent on wiping her off the face of the earth. Pala’s aura twisted and churned, confusing Alexis with swirls of blood red and blue. What surprised her even more was that she wasn’t attacking Coden… Wasn’t she trying to kill him only a day before? And they talked… She thought they had some sort of truce… She confided in her! She trusted her, even after what she tried to do! She had even hoped… That they could be friends….

Deep down, in the farthest recesses of her mind, a barrier of shamanistic magic held something back. Something that Alexis hoped never to see again. It was beginning to crack….

The fight was going to quickly for Alexis, Pala knew how to use her powers while Alexis had at most two days experience with her replaced abilities. She tried to lead Pala away from the others, trying to find a location that better fitted her aerial attacks, but she wasn’t used to open ground, she never liked fighting there. Getting desperate, she launched forward, trying to take Pala off guard. As her foot splashed through a small stream, the waters clung to her, tripping her over. She tried to get away, but the water pulled away from the bed, unnaturally dragging her down. Swirling around and around, the world lost in a dark blue fog. Unable to breathe, unable to bend, unable to move. If she had her powers, she’d just teleport out! She tried and tried to use the spells, but they would not come. The streams of magic inside her burned with a foreign pain, torched from within as binding marks cut into Alexis’ hands and arms, sapphire blood lost in the swirling water.

As Alexis continued to struggle against the watery prison on the outside, the battle within was turning to the worse. The sudden flux of negative emotions, feelings of betrayal, sadness, anger, and fear cutting through the girl, cracking deeper and wider gouges in the barrier. She couldn’t let herself be overcome like this again! Not now! Why did she want to kill her? Why couldn’t things ever once not turn for the worse!?! Nonononononononono!!!

The water grew heavier as her lungs burned for want of air. She struggled less and less as the strain grew worse and worse. She was going to die. She couldn’t fight back, and she was going to die… So… This was how it was going to end. After all that fighting to save the universes, she was going to die on some backwoods planet, by someone who betrayed her… She was going to die, and then Pala would just go after the others next, until they were all dead…

With those last thoughts, something snapped inside her. The barrier was gone, and the girl hung limply in the water. The taint broke free and spread out, engulfing her mind with its blind rage. To her vague surprise, the water fell away, and Pala ran up, looking worried for some reason she couldn’t comprehend…. Didn’t care about…. Going to finish the job up close is she? She wasn’t going to let her do that…. Pala was going to die. No second chances. No second chances for anyone anymore. She was going to die, for what she tried to do. Die nice and slow…

A wide smirk cut unnaturally across Alexis’ face as her eyes shot open, amethyst pupils glowing dimly in the twilight. Her hand shot out and clenched around Pala’s throat, pulling the woman dangerously close as her fingers pressed down hard. “You try to kill me… Now it’s my turn…. You’re going to wish you’d never tried that… But it’s too late… You’re going to die… At least you’ll make it back to your home world post mortem.” Alexis said in a quiet, hallow tone as the winds picked up around the two of them, cutting gouges in the dirt and stones, wiping around violently, matching the girl’s rage.

He wanted to fight. Wanted to fight and protect Alexis. But Coden held him back. The boy struggled against the man, but was unable to break free. But his struggling never ceased.

Sooner than he thought, the fighting stopped. After ground, air, and water all fought against Alexis, Pala stopped. And Alexis attacked. Coden's grip loosened then and the child bolted forth, animalistic growl escaping his throat.

Pala attacked! Pala attacked Alexis and tried to hurt her and kill her and make her die and Gale was going to kill her. But in his rage, he got their rage messed up. Blinded by his own hot emotions, his sense of mentally feeling others was heightened and he made a mistake.

Under one hand was Pala's throat... and under the other was Alexis'. His attack came to an abrupt end as his confusion spiked. Pala's rage had died as rapidly as it had come. Alexis... this... anger... it felt funny. It didn't feel like Alexis. It swallowed her whole and swirled around inside. What-

"GAAAH!!" The next thing he knew, his chest was flat. Emptied out, flattened and stretched. The ground hit him hard as he ricocheted away from her. He came to a stop, hand digging into the dirt, on hands and knees, gasping for breath, trying to fill up the lungs with air, get it bulging again. It wasn't enough. His eyes watered and his arms quaked. It wasn't enough, but it would do. Enough....

He looked up through the tears and saw Alexis. Slitted amethyst eyes, glaring rage and daggers into his heart. This... This... "....'Lexis?" He whispered with the tiny bit of breath he had. Would she? Would she... just like Coden? If... she did... there would be no one left for him.
