Terra smacked him and changed her hair to purple. " every god damn person says something about it damn sethan" She said naming off a very dark and dang rouse god as if she knew him personally.

Sven looked up at Terra with an innocent look. "I think it's very lovely," he said, fluttering his eyes, "that's why I made notification of it..." Kayne rolled his eyes and said, "Goldilocks here always makes fun of my hair..." Sven's foot slammed into the back of Kayne's head and his head went over the side of the boat, then his foot pushed his head down under for several seconds, then released him. Kayne raise his head and turned toward Sven, his red bangs completely covering his eyes.
"Learn your manners, Kayne," said Sven, with a frown. Kayne shook off the water and sat back, pouting.

Terra simply sat back and laughed at the two of them so kayne is sevn's little lap dog then she silently observed. from the way sevn was always ripping on kayne and the fact that kayne took his abuse said it all.

((*laughs* No, not a lap dog. Kayne is Sven's bitch. Yeah... that's a better way to put it. *twitches*))
Getting intensely impatient, Kayne tapped his fingernails against the motor, adding a pint of oil every now and then. Sven lay on the bottom of the boat, dipping a bubble blowing stick into a container of soap and raising it into the air as tiny bubbles blew out rapidly. Kayne played around with the compass, and checked it every few minutes. They were making a bee-line toward the island for about an hour, making no progress to the island. "Any sight?" asked Sven, observing the bubbles shooting out of the hole carefully. Kayne shook his head and sighed. After a few more minutes, Sven began to sing, "OOOooooh... say, can you see... by the dawn's early light... what so proudly we hailed as the twilight's last gleaming?"
"Whose broad stripes and bright stars," chimed in Kayne, looking off into the distance with a loving look, "through the perilous fight. Through the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming." Both men raised their voices to soprano. "And the rocket's red glare.... the bombs bursting in air... gave truth to the night that our flag was still there..." Their voices became strong and proud. "Oh, say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave..."
"I see it!" cried Kayne, breaking away from the song and noticing the shadow that loomed over the ocean to his right.
"Land home!" cried Sven, beaming. "I've always wanted to say that..."

Terra rolls her eyes at him but draws two twin swords from the very air its self and smiles in content. soon she would spill blood, soon all so soon. the wind blow agsint they're backs as they all looked towards the little island.

((yes Terra is battle crazed >_>))

((Teehee... I love people like that... And, I'm sorry for being so impatient, but could you either post the picture you drew of Star or give me a description of her now? I really need it, because I'm going to draw a scene with Satan's Star.))
Kayne jumped at the sudden appearance of Terra's double swords, and quickly cowered from her while Sven approached her. He examined the two swords and said, "I like your taste. It's very stylish.." He pricked his finger by accident and his hand recoiled instantly (remember, he can't bleed when his skin is fake). He smiled up at Terra and nodded in approval.
Sven shut off the motor of the boat as soon as they were within fifty feet of the shore. As they progressed toward the island's sandy shore, he dragged the motorboat along with him. "Hmm... where should I put this?" he said, as he scanned the area. Sven's eyes brightened when he saw a thicket bush. He dragged the boat and then stuffed it in there, like it was a bike. Kayne stared in awe, but then just grunted, "Hurry up."
"I am!" retorted Sven, frowning at Kayne. "I think that will do." The bow of the boat was sticking straight out, but Sven just turned away and said, "Let's get going."

(( well I'd really rather you wait a little more, at the moment I'm in the middle if moving other wise it'd be up))

Terra smiled these were stored in limbo because of the shear power if them she jumped down off the boat avoiding the water all together " your fighting ninja, a doubt a bush will hid that" she said to sevn. she looked back at the forest/jungle a head of them and set off into it she did not know her way so she was walking blindly so to speak.

((Well, if you can't manage the picture now, all you have to do is give me a detailed description of her appearance... but I suppose I could wait a little bit more... But make it soon, because I'm going to draw the scene with Sven's 'death' in manga form, and I need Star's appearance to do that. The scene's coming up soon...)
Sven shrugged at Terra and said, "Who's going to want to mess with a boat in a bush?" He followed Terra into the thickets of the forest, as did Kayne. After a good while struggling through the scattered trees and vegetation covering the area, the group came to an open area where several large, mansion-like estates were located. Sven scrutinized the area carefully and muttered, "This looks an awful lot like my own estate, including the forest surrounding it. Except all these buildings are formed into a single area..." He looked to his right at Terra, and to Kayne at his left. "I suggest we split up," said Sven, looking up at the main building. "If we all search in separate areas, there's a better chance for finding Star. If you run into any enemies, try your best not to kill them.... Terra..." He smirked at her, and continued, "... but try to maim or disarm them. We're here to save Star, not to kill." He turned to both his comrades and said, "May God be with you.... now let's kick some ass!" Sven flashed a menacing grin then whirled around, setting off towards the estate. Kayne pursued the area in a different direction, wielding his crossbow.

Terra chuckled at them both " hey dolts they wont keep her in the shoulders barracks" As that was what the large estates were " she'd be up there in the large castle" She pointed however they were already out fo ear shot she shrugged oh well to bad for them then.

Kayne could feel Star's emotions radiating from the central building. It was obvious to keep the girl in the main building, silently wishing that the people would be more creative and maybe store her in a catacomb, or something. He went toward the eastern edge, although he could distinguish if she was located there. Sven also knew that Star would be kept in the central building, but went at the western edge of the building. Before the entrance doors were a group of intimidating-looking guards idling around. Sven slowed to a leisure stroll as he approached the doors. The doormen snapped to attention at his appearance. Before Sven could enter, they blocked the doors and one commanded, "State your purpose." A smile played on Sven's lips.
"I came here to chew bubblegum and to kick ass," he replied, his eyes gleaming with madness. "And I'm all out of bubblegum..." One guard positioned himself in a fighting stance, with his fists toward Sven, saying in a strong Southern accent, "Them's fightin' words!" All three of them lunged for Sven, who leaped up, stepped on one of their shoulders and ended up in front of the doors. Quickly stepping inside, he put a few sticks of bamboo that were protruding out of a pot of dirt between the two handles on the doors, then ran off.

Having not as much wit as Sven, Kayne had to wound his enemies with the arrows from his crossbow. He was scathed quite a bit, for these men were trained in combat. Although the fight took quite a while, all of the men were defeated and Kayne was free to go inside the building. No sooner did he lay his hands on the entrance door did he hear a voice say, "I see your combat skills have improved quite well, Kayne." The voice was strikingly familiar, but Kayne could not remember. It was a voice from years ago. He turned to see the owner of the voice and stifled a gasp. "You remember me, Kayne," said Axel, with a pleased look upon his face as he gazed into his brother's red eyes.

Terra wandered around the island she couldn't really do anything, she was just her to observe. in truth if she did do something to help she would get in trouble for interfering again from some god or another.

Star had given up on struggling against the chains, which still held her to the cold stone wall. her arms and legs and fallen asleep. at this point she was just glad she did not need to go to the bathroom.

Kayne glared up at his brother with the utmost contempt. For as long as he could remember, the two siblings were always rivals. Not only for the attention of friends and family, but in battles and quests as well. Sibling rivalry was upgraded to where they were enemies that will kill each other without hesitation. Kayne hated Axel with every ounce of his body. He was at fault for sending his father to an asylum. Years ago, Axel decided that he was going to search for Starfyre himself to make slave of her powers. To do that, he needed to get rid of his family, as they would be his rivals. His father, Mortimer, attempted to kill Axel after he slaughtered his mother, Mortimer's parents, and was in the process of slaying Kayne. Axel was able to escape from Mortimer and reported this to the police. He claimed that Mortimer had killed his wife, both his parents, and was trying to kill his two sons. Instead of sending him to a prison, Mortimer was sent to an asylum to suffer in solitary confinement. Even though Kayne tried to convince the police that Axel was the one that killed Motimer's wife and parents, they did not believe him. Kayne was eleven at that time and Axel was fourteen. Besides their age, Mortimer showed significant symptoms of insanity, only because of the tragedy that had come upon him with half his family's slaughtering.
"You are searching for Star as well," said Kayne, not as a question. "That's no surprise..." Axel nodded and replied, "I can say the same to you..." The two brothers continued to stare at one another, until Axel broke the silence. "You are still with that miserable fool, Sven, eh?" Kayne narrowed his eyes, but didn't reply. "I should tell you," said Axel with a smug look on his face, "that I am no longer alone. I have taken in the people that your friend had thrown away." Behind Axel, both Alyssa and Salem approached with their weapons wielded. Kayne attempted to stifle the look of fear upon his face, replacing it with anger.
"Hmph," he muttered. "What an ideal cult. A group full of traitors..." Axel's smirk turned into a grin and he replied, "I consider us protestants..." Kayne scoffed, flashing both Alyssa and Salem a glower. He raised his crossbow to his chest. "Look, Kayne," said his brother, approaching Kayne slowly, "I didn't come here to fight you, seriously." Kayne's brow furrowed, not moving his ready stance. "I know this might sound cheesy, but I came here to negotiate with you."
"Well," said Kayne, "you should change you plans, because I didn't come here to be negotiated by my brother..."
"Will you at least hear what I have to say?"
"Not a chance." Axel frowned and sighed.
"What would you do if I said that I could give you the power of a god?" he said, staring down at the ground for a moment, and then looking back up at Kayne. His brother only glared at him more, in disrespect. "Actually," said Axel, beginning to circle around Kayne, "you already have this power. But what you lack is the ability to use it... I can teach you, Kayne. I will."
"And what exactly do I have to do to earn your tutoring to this 'power?" asked Kayne, sardonically.
"Leave that miserable fool, Sven, and come with us," replied Axel. Kayne smothered his laughter and said, "So you want me to become a traitor myself?" Axel sighed and stopped circling his brother.
"I know Sven, Kayne," said Axel, staring at Kayne. "He's a self-righteous creep with long, blond hair and high-class clothing. He sees you as inferior, Kayne. He sees all of us as inferior." Kayne's glare didn't waver, but he couldn't help but understand what he was saying... and possibly agree with it. "I can tell by that mark on your forehead," said Axel, looking at the dried blood around his forehead, "that he did that to you. He abuses anyone that questions him, like Alyssa here." Kayne gripped his crossbow tighter, recalling the incident that happened the other day, when Sven beat the living hell out of him.
"If you want to save your pitiful life, go right on ahead. Don't waste my time staying here. I'll do it myself. I'll save her myself. I don't need you... You're pathetic, Kayne."
Kayne sighed and looked at Axel's face. "What exactly is this power you wish to teach me?"

star had stooped struggling against hr bonds, however she did not stop looking for a way out. a rat scurried by close at hand she flinched away from it, this place was dirty, damp and smelly. what could be gained from leaving her chained to a wall here?

((It's alright if you can't put up the picture, but I really need a description. I'm already up to Star's appearance in the manga. Right now, I'm just guessing what she looks like. Just give me hair, facial features, what she wears, etc.))
Inhaling a deep breath with his eyes closed, Axel lowered himself to the ground into a kneeling position. He placed both his hands on the stone crosswalk and exhaled. He inhaled a little, then exhaled a little, then inhaled more, and exhaled more. He did this for a good half-minute and then rose his body, trembling slightly. Axel held his right fist against his chest, covering it with his left hand. His face seemed to shake as he stood there. Kayne scrutinized his face as it altered from pain to calamity then desperation. After a few seconds of doing this, Axel opened his eyes and put his right hand out in front of him, his index and middle finger out, but the other two held back. He placed his left hand over his right shoulder and inhaled once. With a grip of his left hand, a streak of light shot out of his fingers and blasted against a gargoyle upon a pillar. Kayne let out a gasp and stood back, staring in awe at the shattered statue.
"That," said Axel, returning to his casual pose, "is the power I wish to teach you." Kayne stared at Axel, saying, "How did you do that?"
"I absorbed the electrical power I could find within this area," replied Axel, bluntly, "and then conjured it into my body, then to my arm, then to my fingers and released it in a streak of lightning." Kayne gaped at his brother.
"He can also do that with wind and fire," said Alyssa with a vacant expression on her face. "Air he can absorb anywhere and blow people off their feet. But he mostly favors electricity." Axel smirked at Alyssa and nodded. Kayne stared at the fragments of the gargoyle, his shock now in surprise.
"But how did you acquire this power?" he asked. Axel shook his head and said, "I didn't acquire it. I was born with it. Along with every other descendant of Johann's. Including you." Kayne blinked once, furrowing his brow. "You see," said Axel, pacing around Kayne, "the book that Sven has is a little off base. Johann didn't die from his health disintegrating from the water Starfyre provided for him, but it actually gave him bad luck. He was accused of killing the king of the realm he lived in, even though there was no evidence to prove it. He was sentenced to death and died from some sort of 'evil' power placed in him, but Starfyre sacrificed her life to save him." Axel lifted up his hand. "We inherited that power, Kayne."
"How did you come to know this?" asked Kayne. "Who taught you?" Axel smirked and replied, "Oh, just some coven that studies Starfyre as well. And they taught me how to take advantage of this power..." Axel held his fist out to Kayne and grinned. "So what do you say? Wanna join?"

The metal door to Star's dungeon shattered in huge shards. In stormed Axel, Salem, Alyssa, and Kayne with chains and a white cloth. Axel looked down at the shackled girl and said with a smug look, "I haven't met you before. I'm Axel. You might know my brother, Kayne." He turned to Salem and said, "Shoot at the wall where the chains are attached. We'll get her out of the shackles after that." Salem obliged and took aim with his TMP at the chains. Alyssa held Star back from the ricocheting bullets as he did. As soon as the metal of the chains gave out, he moved onto the chain that held her other arm.

Star was confused, so did not understand why Kayne was with the two traitors and who was this new person? at the moment they seemed to be getting her down which was good however she did not know what they would do with her after words. Shriken came whizzing to wards them out of the dark shadows of the dungeon.
" No what do you want from with my cousin?" asked Marize who did not show him self he hid in the shadows like the ninja he was. constantly moving soundlessly.

At the sound of Mariez's voice, the clan members whirled around and pointed their weapons at the man. However, Axel merely glared at him. "What we want," he said in a menacing voice, "is to get Star out of the clutches of the likes of you..." He let out a breath and backed up into the wall, both his hands touching it. Kayne kept glancing between Axel and Mariez. Axel gave him a smug smirk and turned back to Star's cousin. "And... well... we seek the same thing of Star as you do. It's quite a shocker that one of the same kin would want to do such a thing... It kind of reminds me of what I did to my father." Kayne gave Axel a contemptuous look, but kept focus his crossbow on Mariez.

(( um sweet heart they can't see him. Mariez is a master ninja the leader of his clan, he would reveal him self that easily.))

He chuckled and his voice came from a different direction this time " well, you can always try to take her" He said as yet again the voice coming from a completely different location, more shirkin were thrown at them hitting Axle in the wrists, elbows and shoulders.

((Oh, alright. I wasn't sure if they could or couldn't see him at all.))
As several shuriken came at them, Kayne tried his best to dodge or deflect them, but more would just come out of a different direction. He smothered a gasp of pain that erupted in his shoulder and took out the shuriken.
"Stop hiding, you damn coward!" he shouted, angrily throwing down the metal blade. Although everyone was hit with the shuriken, Axel remained unscathed. Whenever the metal blades struck him, they were reflected and bounced off in a haphazard direction. Kayne concluded that Axel had spread the electricity he absorbed throughout the surface of his body. Axel approached his brother and placed his hand on his shoulder. At his very touch, Kayne felt amazing energy spread throughout his whole body.
"You are untouchable now," murmured Axel in his brother's ear. "Any thing that different walls. Kayne also pointed his crossbow at another. "Fire," said Axel, and all of them shot at the wall that they were facing to the sides, upper and lower, at any and every point. Alyssa shot at all four corners first and then in the middle once with her hand gun. Salem was shooting at everything at once with his TMP, with the numerous bullets ricocheting of the walls. Kayne shot his bows carefully, for whenever he saw movement within the shadows. Axel stood in the hole of the doorway, with Star by his feet. He shot little streaks of lightning from both his hands at any shuriken that he saw coming towards his comrades.

star's head begin to hurt as the battle wore on. she was torn she didn't want anyone hurt but at the same time she didn't want any of them to come after her anymore. she grabbed her head as the pain kept intensifying until the shadows them self came alive. they grabbed everyone except for her. she looked up her once blue eyes glowing an unearthly purple " Enough of this" She said if anyone tried to move they would be squeezed tightly by the shadow that held them. she couldn't hold it long and it was quit obvious she wasn't concessional doing this either. she passed out after a few moments. as she did so everyone was released from they hold, Mariez quickly diapered and was gone admitting defeat.

Before the battle could go on anymore, shadows protruded out of the walls and clutched everyone with their darkness. The coven tried to struggle against the captors, but were only crushed even more than they were. Axel and Kayne's lightning barrier didn't stand a chance against Star's power, so they both were also in the clutches of the shadows. It wasn't long before they were released and Star was on the ground, passed out.
"Where's Mariez?" asked Salem, looking around with his TMP wielded. Axel brushed off himself and said, "I believe he is gone... for now... Keep your guard." He looked down at the unconscious Star. "She has a lot power. We have to be careful around her... She doesn't know quite how to control them without overwhelming herself." He took both the chains from her shackles and squeezed them together. The heat radiating from his hand welded the two metals together. Axel tore of a portion of his white shirt sleeve and tied it around Star's mouth. He handed the chain to Kayne, who put Star on his shoulder, and said to everyone, "Keep a wary eye out. If you see anyone, kill them without hesitation."
As they quickly and quietly sauntered through the hallways of the mansion, Kayne entered a corridor and saw the back of Sven going the opposite direction. Without staying any longer, he quickly recoiled from it. "It's Sven," he murmured to Axel. Kayne's brother's brown eyes gleamed and he said, "That's actually good news to me..." He grinned. "Here's your revenge..."

These corridors, thought Sven as he strolled through, are extensive. His eyes were glued to the crimson and gold carpet. If I sped up my pace then I will have a better chance for finding Star. His eyes dulled when he thought, But then I will look suspicious. Everyone that he had encountered had not questioned who he was, but probably thought he had a place there. Before he could reach the end of another hallway, a voice said, "Sven..." He turned around to see who called his name, and his expression turned to surprise.
"Kayne," he said, staring at his clan member leaning against the wall, with his hand on his hip as if he was injured. He stared at Sven with, what seemed like, a cold look. He struggled to lift his hand from behind him, a chain trailing from his fist to behind his back. Sven's eyes widened when he saw Star being pulled out by the chains. She was noticeably unconscious, her mouth covered with a cloth. "Star!" he said, almost in disbelief. "You found her!" He scrutinized her position and said, "What's wrong with her? Why is she in chains?" Receiving no answer from Kayne, Sven began to run toward Star. "Don't worry, Star," he said, approaching the two quickly. "You'll be okay. We're going to..." Suddenly, Sven stopped in his tracks, his eyes toward his back right.
Sven whirled around with his arm in the air. It met with Alyssa's blade of her katana. What the?! she thought glowering at him. How could he block my blade with nothing but his arm? Alyssa applied more pressure to the blade on Sven's arm, but he didn't budge. With his other arm, he grasped Alyssa's blade and thrust it toward her, plunging the hilt into her stomach. She staggered back, holding her stomach and grimacing.

Star awoke as Sevn was plunging the dagger into Alyssa's stomach. why were they fighting? she had assumed they were on the same team when Alyssa was in the dungeon helping her....unless this new group as against Sevn? if that was true then why? she tried to move then realized her hands were still chained but now they were chained together. as she realized this she discovered they had gagged her as well. yet again she asked her self why? did they all mean her harm now? even Kayne? she shook her head and tried to struggle against who ever was holding her.

*gasp* IT'S AT THE PART!! WEEEEE!!! Sorry, I'm Chesh, Cy's BFF in real life, and I'm reading her manga, it's just lovely. She's on this part right now, soo... um... awkward... *scratches head* Sup?

((Sven didn't actually stab Alyssa. He took her the blade of her sword that was against his arm and pushed the handle of it into her stomach. You'll see in the manga, I'm already up to that point.))
Alyssa opened her eyes and saw Sven's fist heading for her. She quickly reared her head to the side and dodged the punch. Lifting her sword, she thrust the blade at Sven's face, who recoiled and got away with only a slit across both his cheeks and nose. She turned to face him and swung her blade at him several times. Sven dodged them by turning his body as he stepped back. When she tried to stab him, Sven stopped the blade from plunging into his stomach with only the palm of his hand. He swung one of his legs into her legs, causing her to fall back. Alyssa hit the ground hard and quickly rolled away, barely escaping the foot of Sven that almost crushed her head.
Kayne stared in amazement at Sven as he fought with Alyssa. How could his arms withstand the razor-sharp blade of a katana, not to mention the strength exerted by Alyssa. He began to feel the chain pull down and saw that Star was awake. He shook her and hissed, "Stop it, now." He narrowed his eyes and said, "You should've come with us when you had the chance, you stupid girl. Now look at the mess you've gotten us into. Well, thanks to your stupidity, I am now reunited with my brother. Don't worry, this will all be over soon." Kayne looked forward and said no more.
Before Sven could continue his battle with Alyssa, he heard the cock of a gun behind him. He turned and arched his back forward, covering his face and torso with his arms. The bullets from Salem's TMP ricocheted off of Sven's arm. Before Salem could aim lower, Sven ran down the hall to one of the dresser drawers along the walls. He pulled it from the wall and kicked it toward Salem. He quickly whirled around from the dresser and began shooting at Sven again. While Salem was momentarily stalled with this, Sven had run down the hall to attack Salem again. He covered himself with his arm again as he ran. Alyssa recovered from her injuries and lunged at Sven again. He stopped and grabbed Alyssa's blade again and lodged her into Salem. With his arm stabbed with the katana, Salem cried out and dropped his TMP. Sven gave Alyssa a round-house kick in the back and both her and Salem toppled to the ground.
Sven felt a burst of pain erupt in his left shoulder. He quickly ran across the hallway to the other wall and pulled out of his shoulder... two arrows. He turned around to see Kayne pointing his crossbow directly at him. "Kayne," he murmured, in disbelief. "What are you doing?"
"What he should've done the first time he laid eyes on you," said a voice from behind Sven. He turned to see the brother of Kayne, Axel. He gave Sven a smug look and said, "Nice to see you again, Sven." Sven gave Axel a look of utmost contempt.
"Why am I not surprised that you're involved in this?" he murmured, his eyes glimmering with fury. Axel shook his head, chuckling slightly.
"Maybe because I'm ten times the fighter, and the charmer, that you could ever be?" he said, leisurely walking down the hall. He walked passed Sven, staring at him with a smile, and walked towards Kayne. He turned to face Sven and raised his finger to him, saying, "Or maybe because I'm just better than you in all ways." A streak of lighting shot out from Axel's finger to Sven's chest. The force knocked him off his feet and he was airborne. He hit the wall at the fork, his golden hair now released from the charred ribbon that held the braid in place. Sven struggled to keep his feet from collapsing, leaning against the wall. He raised his head and straightened himself, trembling slightly. He held out his hand , whispering, "Wait... Star..." Sven choked out something between a grunt and a gasp. He looked down and saw and arrow that struck him right below the chest.
Kayne lowered his crossbow and handed the chains that held Star to Axel. His brother passed some energy onto him when their hands touched and Kayne stormed off towards Sven. "Kayne," gasped Sven, blood trickling down his chin. "How... could you... team up with the person... who killed your family... and put your father... in an asylum...?" Kayne looked down at the now defenseless Sven, looking up at him with confused and suffering eyes.
"My family were all fools," he spat, showing no mercy or sympathy whatsoever. "Just like my father..." He put his hand on Sven's chest. "And just like you." Sven grasped Kayne's arm, but the electricity struck Sven. He let out a pained yell before it was cut off suddenly. Kayne backed off and turned away, walking back toward the others.
Sven collapsed to his knees and fell forward into the ground, his blond hair falling all around him. There was a moment of silence, and then Salem ran to Sven and kicked is body over. He let out a laugh and kept bumping him with his foot, saying, "He's dead! The dude's actually dead! I can't believe it was that easy!" He laughed some more, continuing to shake Sven's body with his foot. Sven's head was facing down the hallway, the pained expression remained on his face. His eyes were the color of the sky of a storm to come, and they seemed to stare directly at Star.

*sniffs* Sad day... sad day... NOOOOOOOOOOO! POOR SVEN! I HATE KAYNE AND SALEM AND AXEL!!!! *bows head* Poor Sven...

((Would you get off of here?! Just kidding, but don't post anymore. This is Siren and I's thread, ooookaaaaay? Feel free to look around. Look, but don't post. XD
Yes, I hate them all as well. Don't forget Alyssa, although she is a favorite. She's better than them, at least. She has a katana. :D
But no worries, Sven will live. And then he'll raise up some hell... Oh yeah... HELL.))
