((Hehe... you noticed. Although it is pretty obvious, with his name being Axel as well.))
Axel's frown deepened when Star has yelled at him. After she was done speaking, a smile lightened his darkened face. "So now you are defending him, are you?" he said, smugly. "It took his death to prove that he wanted to save you... Well, Star, whether you want to believe it or not, you've got no one but yourself to blame for Sven's death." Kayne, for the first time, looked away from the window and toward his brother. "You see," continued Axel, "Even after Sven and Kayne had risked their lives to keep you from getting hurt, you still didn't trust them enough to go with them. Since you didn't, Mierez captured you and brought you to his island, so Sven and Kayne came to the rescue. If you had gone with them, Kayne wouldn't have reunited with me and joined my force. Thus... Sven would've have been killed..." His smirk turned into a grin as he whispered, "What I'm trying to say, Star, is that you are at fault. So don't talk to me about besmirching Sven's name... I'm not the one who killed him." Axel sat back, satisfied with his work.

as star's rage grew a light pressure started to build up around everyone within close proximity to her, " your wrong, I did trust them. I had only wished to have a few moments alone to grieve for my family. after which my plan was to go to Sevn's place" She growled out at him. however she said nothing about the fact that it was her fault that Sevn was dead, she had already known that, just like it was her fault her family was now dead.

((lol Star already blamed her self for everyone's death >.>))

After what Star spoke, Axel couldn't help but laugh. He shook with furious chuckles and cackles. After some of it subsided, he said sardonically, "Tell me, Star. Were those few moments alone to grieve for you family worth killing Sven?" He burst out into cackling again. This time it was uncontrollable, eccentric laughter. Axel had to force himself to stop. He sighed and said, "Now I feel bad for the guy. He died because you were too busy wallowing in self-pity." Axel turned to Star and gave her a bow of the head. "But it's the reason that you were pitying yourself that Sven is gone now. So, Goddess Star, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. You made everything a whole lot easier for us all."

Star did not answer him, she would kill everyone in this helicopter to avenge Sevn, she was planing as she sat there, but before anything she'd need to get away from them. away and back to the guild.

A few hours later, the helicopter hovered over the Southern Pacific at last. It took only a few minutes more to arrive at Axel's so-called estate. It actually turned out to only be a run-down tavern outside of town as big as a one-story house. Once the helicopter landed, Axel dragged Star inside the tavern with the others following behind. Once the door to the bar was opened, a foul odor hit them in the face that smelled like rotten wood and damp grime. Every surface was caked with an inch of dust. The tables and chairs were overturned with grimy spider webs intertwined around the legs. Kayne was not very pleased, but he decided not to speak his mind.
Axel walked over to a door that lead to a staircase. He dragged Star down it and at the bottom there was another door. It opened to a cramped space filled with cleaning supplies and utensils. Before stuffing Star into stifling closet, he welted the chain that held her hands together to the metal doorknob inside the cubicle. He smiled at her and said, "Now you be a good girl and stay right here." After shutting the door, he returned to the top of the stairs and locked it closed.

Not too long after the helicopter had arrived at land, Sven's boat did as well. He drove to the motorboat store where he had rented it. The owner was appalled by the condition it was in, with all the scratches. But more than that, he was shocked to see the torn-up, bleeding state that Sven was in. He gave the man a few hundreds and he dismissed both him and the boat.
Sven was determined to get back Star before Axel and the others could do anything to her. But he had no idea where she would be held at. He didn't have the power to sense her like Kayne. He couldn't get the police involved, he was the one who supposedly kidnapped her in the first place. He really had nothing to go by. Sven then remembered the crystals that Terra had left behind. She would be the only one who would know where Star would be. He took out the two gems and scrutinized them. They must have to be used for locating Star, or her, or whomever. Sighing, Sven took the blue one and slammed it against his hand, shouting, "Cha-zam!" There was no occurrence. He repeated the same thing with the red one, and then both of them at the same time. Still no reaction. "I wish she'd left me an instruction guide," he murmured to himself. He tried several different ways of using them, like grinding them against each other, pricking himself with the edges, and then finally he threw the red one against the ground.

Star Struggled all the way, refusing to go down the stairs and even into room. once the door was closed and her shackles wielded to the door knob.She sighed and rested her head against the door, unable to do anything about her situation she was simply trying to figure out if they would leave her down here forever or if they would come down to at lest feed her from time to time.

As soon as the gem hit the ground it formed its self into Terra. She blinked a few times before focusing her eyesight on him " yes?" She asked a small amused smirk on her face. She wondered if her summoning had been acdential or intentional.

(('Tis, remember? If the red gem was thrown to the ground, then Terra would enter. Oh, and sorry that it's been so long!))

(( lol OH shit i didn't type that IN? >.< I thought i did...it was in my head to at lest >.> shall fix it and no probs been a relief to me actully))

((Hehe, that's alright.))
Sven leaped back like a spooked cat when the red gem grew and altered itself into Terra. So that's how they work... He gawked at her, but then regained himself and said, "Greetings, I was hoping you might know the whereabouts of Star. I have no way to tell where she might be..." He stared at her with a stone face, empty of any emotion but fatigue.

"So, what now?"
It was Salem that broke the silence, to no surprise. Axel took a swig of his alcoholic drink and said, "What do you mean?" Salem sighed and murmured, "As in, what do we do now? What's the plan?" Axel shrugged. Alyssa frowned at Axel. He has no plans? she thought, aghast. She stood up from the filthy chair and said, "Well, what are we suppose to do with that girl?" Axel shook his head, smirking to himself.
"Whatever the hell you want," he replied, smugly. "Well, don't kill her... she probably wouldn't like that." He snickered to himself. Alyssa glowered at him. Axel met her glare and scoffed. "Listen, you guys worry too much. I mean, with that power of Star, we could rob banks and stuff. Get Ferraris for each one of us. Right now, I'm tired. I wanna relax."
"Maybe Star could do some renovations to the house," muttered Kayne. Axel gave his brother a dull look.

Terra simply smiled " she's on the outskirts of town in dirty old Tavern" She said simply " have fun" And with that she was gone she could only help if help was asked for other wise as long as Star's life wasn't in any danger she could do very little if anything.

Before Sven could ask in which direction this tavern was located, Terra had already disappeared. He sighed and scanned the area around him. Walking would take to long, and he couldn't risk wasting any more time. Unfortunately, he would have to use grand theft auto in order to get to Star in time. He decided on taking an inert car, since he wouldn't have to harm anyone to obtain the car and he also knew how to hotwire a car. Approaching a nearby parking lot, Sven analyzed his options for automobiles. His decision was made when his eyes crossed over a silver Lamborghini. Not only was it a kick-ass ride, but also because it was silver, Sven's favorite color.
After opening the door to the Lamborghini (which was locked, but Sven opened it with one jerk of his fingers), Sven knelt down and looked under the steering wheel. Without the need for a screwdriver, he pulled off the access cover and the screws had squeezed through the holes. Finding two red wires, he clipped the insulation off of both of them about an inch or more to expose the copper wire. He twisted the two wires together tightly. This would power up the ignition components to start up the car. Next, Sven searched for the ignition wire. Once he did, he stripped the insulation off and then touched it to the intertwined red wires. The engine roared into life and Sven put the access cover over it once more. The next step was to break the steering wheel out of lock. Usually, you'd have to use some tool, like a crowbar, to break it out. For Sven, all he had to do jerk the steering wheel and it broke off immediately, freeing the car from steering lock.
((Just so you know, that is a genuine method on how to hotwire a car.))
After entering the ride, Sven eased it out of the parking space and into the street. He was both anxious and excited to reunite with the traitors. Anxious, because he was still reluctant to kill them, but excited to see the look on their faces when they encounter him once again.

A while later, Axel went down the staircase to fetch Star. He opened the door and looked down at the exhausted face of Star. Giving her a sardonic smirk, he grabbed the chain and heated a portion of it. He jerked at it a few times and it broke off. "Come with me," he ordered, picking her up by the shoulder and taking her upstairs. Once they reached the top, Axel just threw her on the ground once more and placed a brick near her face.. He sat down on a nearby chair and revealed a pistol from the holster on his belt. Axel pointed the muzzle of the gun at her and said, "Move the brick with the power of your mind."

as usual star fought against her captor, nearly falling back down the stairs a few times but she did not care. worse that would happen is a broken limb and them being angry. however when she shoved to the ground and a gun shoved in her face she froze up. She wasn't a goddess like they thought she was, if she was shoot she would die. Tear's filled her eyes as she knew she could not move the brick and she would die because of it.

Axel frowned down at Star as she began to choke up and cry. He had no pity for her whatsoever. Huffing, he picked himself up from the chair and knelt down to Star's trembling body. He picked her face up by grasping her cheeks and forcing her to look into his eyes, saying, "Now I know you can do this. You did it before, remember? You stopped the brawl between us and your cousin. In more detain, you peeled the shadows off the walls and used them to grasp us. We all witnessed it, isn't that right?" The rest of the group hesitated, but then nodded in unison. Axel turned back to Star and smirked. "I advise you to focus on trying this soon. Of course, you don't have to if you don't want to, but then I wonder what will happen to your arm..." Axel tapped the muzzle of his gun on one of Star's arm and then raised himself from the floor. He turned around and returned to his seat. "Now, do it."

After circling around the outskirts of town for several minutes, Sven finally saw the tavern that Terra was talking about come into sight. Another reason why he knew it was the place was the large chopper right outside of it. He eased the car into the worn driveway and leaped out of it. Without any hesitation, he thrust his foot into the door and watched as it fell forward and clattered to the wooden floor. The eyes of his former comrades and Axel turned to see what who was in the doorway. All of their eyes widened to the fullest extent.
"Well, all be damned," uttered Axel, gawking at the dead man in his doorway. Sven's lips widened and he looked down at Star's chained body and said, "Looks like you could use some help." The group whipped out their guns, but before they could pull the trigger, Sven was onto them. He first lunged for Salem, since he had a machine gun. Grasping the muzzle of the gun, he pulled it from Salem's hands and clouted him right in the jaw with it. After he stumbled back a bit, Sven raised his foot and kicked him square in the chest. Salem fell back and the wall just happened to be opened to the cellar below where he tumbled down the stairs to where Star was kept. Alyssa came at him, shooting her gun, but he deflected them with his arm. She then took out her katana and slashed at him with it. He grabbed the blade and hurled the girl above his head. Next was Kayne, who was more agile and quick that the others. He repeatedly shot at Sven with his crossbow, taking only a half-second to reload another arrow to shoot again. Sven turned around and grabbed the arrow just as it was about to plunge right between the eyes. He threw the arrow down and lunged at Kayne. He was able to strike two arrows around Sven's shoulders, but he recovered quickly from the blows and took Kayne by the throat and threw him across the room, bashing him against the wall.
As Sven was battling, Axel had been gathering up electricity from around him. He pointed his finger toward the man and released it. Sven raised his hand the the streak of lightning hit it. He turned to face Axel, with a smile on his face. His sleeve was ruined and there was a large chunk of 'skin' that exposed glimmering metal within it. His arm was metal with rubber 'skin'. Stifling a gasp, Axel backed away as Sven approached quickly. He struck at him with his arms, but Axel was able to deflect them. But when Sven thrust his leg into his kneecap, Axel recoiled in pain and Sven grabbed his dark hair. He walked over to the counter of the lobby bar and threw Axel across it.
Sven turned to a shuffling noise behind his shoulder and saw Kayne lurching forward. He grasped Sven's arm and pulled at him, but his arm wouldn't budge at all. He looked into Sven's blue eyes and then saw red after he struck him in the eyes and nose with his knuckles.
"See no evil," murmured Sven as Kayne stepped back, rubbing his throbbing face. Sven clapped both of his hands over Kayne's ears and he shouted in agony, collapsing. "Hear no evil..." He grabbed Kayne's face and thrust it into the wall. "Speak no evil..." Sven ground the traitors face against the wall as he walked beside it. He hurtled Kayne into the ground and frowned down at his defeated body. He sighed and said, "I do not wish to kill any of you. You are enemies, but you are defenseless now. I will not eliminate you, now. However, if you try to stop or come after me, you will not be so lucky this time." Sven turned his eyes to Star and gave her a comforting smile. "Sorry it took me so long, Star. I hope you're okay..." He walked up to her and knelt down beside her. He was able to snap the chains in one jerk of his wrist. Sven picked the girl up and said, "How about we leave now?"

All Star could do was cry as Axle bullied her. she shrank back from the gun and shook her head when he said she peeled the shadows off of the wall. " I don't remember that at all" She tearfully protested. when he sat back she closed her eyes and did try to concentrate but all she could think off was the gun pointing at her. Then a large bang sounded and she though for sure she had been shot and was dead. she slowly opened her eyes to see Sevn. Her eyes widened in disbelief which slowly turned into wonder, then relief that he was here. as soon the fighting was done and he came over to unchain her, her arms were around him " I'm sorry for not going with you in the first place" She whispered just glade he was alive as a fresh wave of tears came she buried her face into his shoulder and just let him carry her.

Sven looked down at Star, his eyes softening as she trembled and whimpered. He stroked her hair as she hugged him and said, "It's alright, Star. I'm here... You don't have to worry about that. I swear I will not let anything else happen to you." He hitched his arms around her shoulder and legs and raised himself, carrying her to the outside of the tavern. He was determined to fulfill that promise for Star, for whatever it takes. Sven placed her in the passenger's seat of the Lamborghini and then seated himself in the driver's seat. As he coaxed the car out of the driveway, he carefully watched the entrance of the tavern, making sure that nothing was going to pursue him. Once he was out of the way and driving down the road, he tore his eyes away from the inn and kept his eyes forward.
The radio of the car was set to the peaceful piano music of the classical station. Sven's face was hard as stone as he drove, but then he released it and sighed. He looked at Star from the corner of his eye and asked, "Why did you apologize for not coming with me?" He frowned and stared at her in the eyes, "You don't blame yourself, do you? Star, you have to realize that you are not in control of everything. You didn't know about Mierez; you didn't know that he was going to do what he did." Sven shook his head. "No matter what you are, you are still just a child. If there should be on to apologize, it is me." Sven grimaced slighting in bitter remorse. "It is my responsibility to take care of you now. I apologize that my failure to do so was an addition to your pain... You should not have to deal with this." Sven turned to her and said, "I won't let that happen again, I swear it on my soul."

She sighed " no it is my fault if it wasn't if i wasn't here My parents would be alive, you'd wouldn't have died and none of this wouldn't happen" She told him firmly quite done crying and falling apart she was now looking out of teh window moodily.

(('Tis, I think I found the perfect theme songs for the three main characters, Star, Sven, and Kayne.
Star- Stand in the Rain
Sven- Restless Days
Kayne- I Will Not Bow
Sven frowned at Star, but listened to her. He knew where she was coming from, but strongly disagreed with it. "You didn't kill your parents," he replied, with a firm voice, "nor me. Mierez did. He is the one to blame, not you." After a sigh, he added, "As for my encounter with death, the ones at fault were the people who committed it and myself. Truly I tell you, I could've prevented it, but you were helpless against your captors." Sven's eyes dimmed as he said, "No matter. It's over now. There's no use in sulking about it." Silence slipped between them once again. Exhaling, Sven looked at Star, a smile lingering behind his lips. "Would you like to stop for something to eat?" Star had been at that island for nearly a full day, and it was obvious that they wouldn't feed her there.

She sighed " it is my fult and that's that" she said firmly. she stared out the window memorizing every detail as it whizzed past them she shook her ehad as he suggested they stop " No thank you, if we stop they might catch up to us" She told him

((Hey, you didn't comment on the songs. Is Star's okay? I thought it fit perfectly actually... Especially Kayne's. It is definitely perfect.))
Sven's eyes fell at Star's rejection. He understood her point, but he doubted that anyone would try to pursue them after that hardcore beating. He sighed and then went quiet once again. He decided to just give up trying to comfort her at all. He wasn't the best at pep talks anyway. He was more of a discipline person.

After a few more hours of awkward silence between the two people and soothing classical music, Sven turned into an almost unnoticeable dirt path that lead into the isolated forest. After a few more twists and turns, a gleaming white, three-story house came into view. Sven coaxed the care into the large, spotless parking lot and right outside a garage. He broke open the access cover once again and untwisted the two red wires and the car went silent. He stepped out of the car and took a deep whiff of the pine-smell that hung in the air.
"I haven't been here in months," he murmured as he stared in adoration at his estate. "I much rather prefer this than the one in the city." He beckoned Star as he approached the 'almost' mansion. It was as white as the White House. Concealing the door was a metal one that had several lock mechanisms, such as code and hand and eye scanners. He punched in the numbers in the alarm code, pressed his hand and eyes against the scanners. The metal doors slid away to reveal a normal entrance door. Sven put his hand on the knob and turned it, but it was locked. "Damn," he muttered. "Forgot that there was a key, too." He glared at the knob for a second before thrusting his foot into the door. It gave way instantly. After clearing his throat, he entered in.
The inside looked almost identical to his other house, but much more extravagant, with higher ceilings and more floral decorations. Sven turned and set up the metal doors, again. He turned to Star and put his index finger on her nose. "Take a bath... or shower... whatever." He walked off and said, "There's about nine in here, so you're chances of finding one are pretty good. I go prepare dinner!"

She nodded " thanks" she said as she went to go find a bathroom. it didn't take her long at all, which was good because she wasn't in a patient mood today and it really was hard to figure out why. she took a while in the shower simply running things over in her head and knowing she wanted Boss and her grandmother with her as well. they where her family and she didn't want them used as targets.

((-_- You still didn't comment on the songs... por que??))
After changing into a fresh set of clothes (he's been wearing the torn up, blood-soaked clothing all this time) and retying his hair into the braid (and has had his hair down as well.. O.O), Sven began fixing up a dinner for Star and him. He wished he knew her particular taste for food, but decided to make a vegetable and seafood gumbo, since it contained a lot of favorable spices. He hummed several Beethoven symphonies as he fixed up the creole soup. It would take a while to cook to perfection, but Sven presumed that Star's shower would be a lengthy one. After setting the pot of gumbo at a fixed heat, he entered a guest room that would be Star's. He had bought multiple sets of clothing for both genders in case there were to be people harboring at the house for all types of styles: girly, punk, Gothic, Celtic, casual, animal print, striped/dotted, et cetera. Concluding that Star's style was around casual and punk, Sven picked out a black and white striped T-shirt and dark blue capris. After setting the outfit beside the door of the bathroom where Star was in, he returned to the kitchen and stirred the gumbo once again. He began to set the table with gleaming silverware and exquisite china.

(( Sorry yeah I haven't commented because I haven't had the chance to listen to them my com isn't liking youtube at the moment ._. so they wont play.))

Star did not take long in the shower she wasn't one to waste water in such a way. she was more of a hide in the woods when depressed sort of person. she got dressed in her old cloths after she toweled off, then she opened the door she was surprised to find some clean cloths there. she took them and went back inside to change out of her dirty cloths.after she was done with that she wandered around the estate, looking for sevn however she quickly got lost as was typical for star.

((*tear* Hmm... would veoh.com work for you?))
As the gumbo cooked, Sven decided to go check up on Star, only to realize that she was no longer in the shower. His hypothesis for the shower length had been wrong, but it wasn't the first time with her. Letting out a sigh, he aimlessly sauntered into the various corridors of his estate, calling out the girl's name frequently. With the help of a quick pace, he was able to find the lost Star in a few minutes. Sven heaved in a breath of relief and approached her. "It's quite a large place, isn't it?" he said with a sheepish smile. "I have the blueprints of the house so you can know where everything is. Just follow me." He lead her into a living room that was the equivalent size of a whole apartment in one room. After opening a drawer of a dresser/table/mirror, Sven took out a rolled paper and indicated it to Star. "This should help you around. There's about ten bedrooms in this place, so you're free to choose any of which you like." Sven's twinkling eyes turned hard on her as he pointed to one of the rooms and said, "Except for that one. That's one is mine... not yours, mine... And I do not allow people in it... unless I invite them in... which I rarely do." It was a smaller room than the rest and was next to a balcony. Sven's face altered back into a pleasant one and said, "Dinner will be ready soon, so don't spend to much time picking out your room." He turned around and returned to the kitchen.

Star couldn't help but laugh at him, he seemed so possessive over a room. she walked off looking for a room she marked which room was Sevn's with a big red Mental x meaning stay out. as she walked she wandered further and further into the house, she eventually simply picked a room it was on the other side of the house from Sevns a further reminder for her not to go in.
